Shelton, May 15.-The people of Shelton, Derby and Ansonia who work in Bridgeport were to-day subjected to great inconvenience on account of the strike. The cars in Ansonia and Derby are running as the men in those places are not organized. They claim tSey have no grievance. The Shelton bsanch is completely tied up.

Judge Burpee Out of Town.

Judge Burpee was much sought for today for an opinion on the strike. He was not in town and it was the opinion of his associate, Attorney Meigs that he is in Bridgeport. When last quoted on this matter Judge Bur- pee said there would be strike if the hot heads in the trolleymen's union sue ceeded in having their way. Two weeks have passed since then and it is allowed that those 'hot heads'' had had time to cool. In view Of this, therefore it would be interesting to hear what Judge Burpee would have to say. The company cannot set up the cry, as they did at the outset of the local strike. that the men acted too hastily, and unwisely in not giy- ing the company more time to con- sider the proposal, for in the Bridge port matter they were given at least six weeks and then they were willing to give new men one additional cent, making their wages nineteen cents an hour. Their entire offer was merely compromise that would not tend to improve matters one whit for the men.
 The local police show great interest in the strike from professional view point. They wonder how the Bridge port cops will handle the situation and if Mayor Mulvihill, who is said to be an Economic leaguer, will allow them to ride on the cars to protect them. If he does not, they say there will be lively times. The night of our riot they say the police of Bridgeport had their hands full in keeping tn people in con- trol. The trolley company is as popu- lar there as it is here with the people who use the cars.

4 NEW CAME FOR CHILDREN

The risen generation in St. Louis has a Civic Improvement League, and now the rising generation there is to have a Junior Civic League. Boys and girls between six and eighteen years old are eligible for membership, and are organ ized into 'block leagues" formed by the children living upon each side of the street on each block. The officers of the block league are president and secretary, who must be members of the parent body and more than eighteen years old. The duty of the secretary is to obtain written reports from each member in his block and send them to the Civic Improvement League. He must also prepare an annual statement relative to the condition of the streets and alleys in his block, and describe the garbage disposal. It devolves upon the president to get every child in his city block to join the movement. The block leagues belonging to each school district of the city are united into dis trict leagues, each with it's president and secretary, who supervise the or- ganization and make reports. Among the subjects in which it is hoped to in- terest the children are planting and care of trees, shrubs, vines and flowers; care of lawn; keeping free from filth and litter the home yard and the streets and alleys near the home; proper gar bage receptacles and the proper care of the same; care of public property of every kind, and condition of vacant lots on the block.

THE WICKED HONEY QUESTION.

THE WICKED MONEF QUESTION.
 The discussion of the question how to use wicked money goes solemnly and instructively on. In his haccalaursate sermon Sunday Chancellor James F. Day of Syracuse University said: There are those narrow enough to say that we should not take gifts from princely givers because they made their money from the so-called trusts. Let the kingdom of God be advanced through these gifts
 As John D. Rockefeller recently gave S1OO,OOO to Syracuse University. and John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Company is one of its chief supporters, this utterance of Chancellor Day is de- cidedly significant. He doesn't admit that he is using wicked money" but he seems to think that if he is there is no better way to use it than to 'ad- vance the kingdom of God' with it. On the face of it this looks rather sensible, but there are those who will say that it is better to be poor and good than rich and wicked, and that the kingdom of God cannot really be advanced by the l use of wicked money" But wouldn't it look queer to see university or I something of that kind refuse money that was piratically made? It is an in- dication of the practical spirit of the age' that nobody expects to see such a wasteful and ridiculous performance
 Money is good, and it will buy things.

GOOD WORK AT AK ASSA.

What sanitary science can do has been well illustrated by what it has done in Havana and other Cuban towns where yellow fever has been apparent ly abolished. Another illustration of it's usefulness is found in Akassa, a station in the most unhealthfuI part of West Africa. At conference of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce the other day it was stated by Sir Ralph Moor, Commissioner for Southern Ni- geria, that the application of the teach ings of the Liverpool School of Tropi- cal Medicine had completely altered the character of Akassa. Dr. Annett, said Commissioner Moor, found the station at Akassa a hotbed of fever and dis ease and entirely unfit for European habtation, but it could not be aban- doned because of the plant there. The natives were removed and the Euro peans brought into a ring fence, while a skillful engineer drained dry what had been a hopeless bog, and the resi- dents took regular doses of Guinine. The result was marvelously successful. Akassa is now one of the most health- ful stations in West Africa.
 This is good work. The white man is carrying his burden we'll in some places.

reputation counts heavily. American audiences cling to the Old-tine favor ties who have long ago established and been approved in Europe. Singers do not take kindly to the suggestion that they have seen their best days, and they are quick to resent an insinuatiOn that they are worth less than they once were.
 ''To me it has always been the most disagreeable of my tasks to have to draw up or to renew contract with an artist.

MR. CHAmBERLAIN's SCHEME.

Mir. Chamberlain's customs union project doesn't seem to be much more enthusiastically received in the colonies than it is at home. The prime minister of New Zealand has given it his per- sonal approval. but it is not believed that he represents public sentiment Australian public opinion as represented in the newspapers is decidedly against the scheme. The Melbourne Age says: Australia could not. even for the all- important claims of imperial unity, con- sent to policy that might endanger her industrial position" The Sydney Telegraph says that the scheme Ire Quires either heroic imagination or a fine contempt for facts" The South Australian Register says MT. Chamber lain is dealing with chimeras. and the West Australian asks: why exclude America and Germany if England is to swamp our markets and destroy our nascent manufactures
 The people of England don't want to be taxed for the benefit of the colonies, and the colonies don't want to be taxed for the benefit of England So the great scheme falls rather flat. But perhaps there will be growth of unselfshness all around that will make it more r,onn- lar by and by.

He would have several degrees, and the larger the family became the higher the maternal producer of it would get.

Many of the people of Chicago are dis gusted by the discovery that they have been eating "process'' butter. w. K. Jacques, director of the Chicago city laboratory, says that vile-smelling and putrid butter gathered in country stores is put through certain processes and then offered for sale in the Chicago markets as creamery butter. But this is not all. MT. Jacques claims that he has found a butter edition of "gold brick' game. In other words, he has found packages of process butter nicely yeneered with the best creamery butter and marked at the highest price.

It will take several months for the entire structure, mostly Of stone. to be transported east, and then it will be built again on nlagnifi- cent site which MT. Longyear bought last December in the fashionable Boston suburb. Sixteen carloads of the house arrived on Saturday at Boston, and all day teams were busy hauling the ma- terial to Brookline. The entire work of transporting and rebuilding the mansion will occupy about two years. As each piece of stone or woodwork in the house is taken down it is carefully marked, and upon arrival placed in pile where the builders can easily find it when wanted.

Athens, Greece, the only capital in Europe which cannot be reached by rail, is separated by several hundred miles from the European main railroad sys- tenn, of which Brindisi, Salonika and Constantinople may be regarded as the three southern termini. A projected line from Athens to Salonika will bridge the last gap in the chain. When this is completed it will be possible to run through carriages from Calais to Athens and the Greek capital will be brought within three days of London. At pres- ent the quickest transit is five days, via Brindisi and Patras, which involves a voyage almost as long as that between Brindisi and Egypt.

A story Is being circulated that an Albany (MissourD woman has got a judgment of $s,OOO against fellow who kissed her 1,236 times in fourteen years, and then refused to marry her. The Albany Ledger denies its correctness upon two grounds. One is that people never court fourteen years in Albany. Albany girls bring things to conclu- sion in much better time than that. Secondly, "to insinuate that any AL bany young man could put up with an average of a kiss and half a week and with such temptations, too," is deemed the height of absurdity. An other reason for denying the report seems to be that 1t is not true.

BROWN COUNTY
FARM LANDS
Some notable sales, show values
advancing.

Three real estate transactions of re-
cent occurrence show the esteem in
which Brown county land is held by
those who know it best. Henry Len
ling Of East Gem sold his farm last
winter at $50 per acre contemplating
at that time removal from South
Dakots, After being absent from the
state slime he concluded to buy an.
other ferm IA Brown county. He;
found quartersection in Henry town
ship for which he paid e4s00, and 81
sbout to move on to 1t.
Eli Harrington who has been q rssi-
dent Of Brown county for numberof.
years last week purchased Of Robert
Owen Of Ordway township, . quarter
section, having fair buildings on It,
for s4So0, and will take possession Of
it this fall.
With farms in various parts Of the
county going at $50 per acre it is only
natural to expectsthat farms especially
valuable by reason of location and inn
provements should reach 90 In num-
erous instances In the near future. A
case OF this kind has just occurred, the
land bringing $40 being the old White
house place and for few years own
ed BY Chas. Apple, the Aberdeen
clothier. This farm, 16O acres, lies
northeast Of the city, two aud a half
miles from Main street. The build
ings are just fair, but there is a good
artesiaa well on it, put down this last
year, and the land is mostly fenced.
Mr.. Appel sold to John Cavanaugh, a
Brown county resident for over twenty
years. The fact that Mr.. Cayanaugh
takes this place in payment for half
section of land near Bath does not
effect the question of value in the
least, as Mr.. Apple, ,:buys half section
of Mr.. Cavanaugh at s25 per acre,
a price it willreadily command in the
market any day in cash, and which
Mr.. Apple says he would pay for an
adjoining quarter similarly improved.
tits understood that Mr.. Cavanaugh
will take Immediate possession.
