STATE POLICE.

Secretary of Law and Order League
 Explains Why He Favors Them
 Secretary Thrasher of the State Law and Order league has given out state ment explaining why he favors the bill introduced in the general assembly a few days ago for the appointment of a state police force, with headquarters at Hartford.
 The judges of the superior court, who of all officials are most protected from political influences, are to select eight commissioners, one from each county, to serve without salary The commissioners choose superintend- ent, assistant superintendent and eight state policemen, and make rules for and exercise an oversight i'll respect to the department.
 .The department will be at the call of the governor, or any prosecuting of ficer from the attorney general down, or of any sherif or head of a police de- partmert, to furnish detectives or off, cers as needed in any part of the state in order that they may assist in the investigation, detection and prosecu- ton of all criminal matters, and the latter are to have power ito serve pro- cess and make arrests ill any quarter of the state. Tn like manner the de- pertinent shall have power to call upon any enforcing officer in any city or town, whether policeman, deputy sheriff or other, who shall with the con- sent of his official head do the bidding of the department wherever he may be sent"
 Mir Thrasher claims that the state police officers would be especially valu- able for the reason that they would not be known to 1awbreakers in a com ! munity, as the local officers are:
 "Let us imagine" says MT Thrasher, "a series of robbeTfes in Willimantic, or number of gambling houses in Bridgeport, or of houses of ill-fame in New London-all hypothetical cases, of course. The chief of police in any of these cities, finding that the faces of his officers are familiar to the of- lenders, sends to the superintendent of state police, who communicates with the chief of police in Norwalk o1 some other city and obtains detective officers whom he sends to the place in question. Being unknown, they gel the evidence and arrests and convic tions follow speedily. Thus in score of ways the state police department would assist every sheriff and police department in the state"

GREELEY's BROKEN HEART.
Never Sought a Fortune, But Wanted
 to Leave Monument,

NeFcF sought a F0rtune, But Wanted
 to Leave Monument,
 Senator Chauncey M Depew intro duced an account of the disastrous close of Horace Gfeeley's life into his eulogy of the late Representative Amos Cummings of New York, in the senate, on Saturday. He ssaid:
 The character and career of Amos II. Cummings were not formed in the parsonage, nor in the counting room nor in the association with his friends the eompositors; nor with the adven- turers h Nicaragua, nor with his com rades in the army. They were built by the oyermastering Influence of two men of extraordinary genius, whom he Worsh1pped -one Horace Greeley. the other Charles A. Dana.
 NO proper appreciation of the life and services, of the ability and char acter, of Horace Greeley has eyer been Written. There was a time--aDd at that time Cummings was with him when there came every day from the Tribune office a. paper with those edi- torials written by that pen which infiu- enced the Judgment of millions. which controlled the action of parties and dominated the legislation of the coun- try.
 nave seen many q deathbed in my life; have seen life go out under con dltlons that were sad or sweet, hopeful or despairing. I never but once saw man die of broken heart, and never do wish to see such q tragedy again.
 made speech with MT Greeley in ti.aI It's close. We spoke from the same platform. and both of us knew that l he was to be beaten We went back to his home, and he was jeered upon the train and at the depot when we arrived. We went into his study. which was filtered with those famoIs caricatures of Mast. representing him as the embodiment of all that was 1 evil or vile in expression or practice in life. Mr Greeley glanced them over for moment. and then said:
 My life is failure I never have sought to accumulate fortune. never have cared for fame, but I did I want to leave a monument of what I had done for my fellow men. in lifting l them up and in doing away with the curse Of slavery and theicurse Of rum but here l am, at the close of this cam paign, so represented to my country men that the slave will always lool, 1 upon me as having been one of his owners. and reform will look upon me l as fraud.
 T ''Then. his head falling upon his 1 desk. he broke into uncomfortable sobs. I sent for his family. The hvnin that had Jnpa c11cb diC work snapped The next morning he was taken to an asylum, where he died His heart literally broke"

 Waterbury Instead of Seymour.
 Anybody who thinks that Thomas Kelly spends all his time watching his farm and bakery business makes great mistake. He has his eye on the trolley roads of the state and especial ly lines that are likely to have some thing to do with the business interests of Waterbury, Although MT Kelly has a large farm in Middlebury and spends part of the summer there he realizes that his market is in this town and therefore he keeps a sharp look out for every thing that tends to pro- mote its welfare. MT Kelly told re- porter today that Waterbury will have to watch the movements of seek
 CTS after trolley franchises else the trade of the whole Pomperaug valley will be eventually turned towards New Haven. He said that the proposed route from Woodbury to Seymour is sure to deprive this town of vast amount of valuable trade unless our representative at, Hartford see to it that Woodbury is connected with Wa terbury by trolley service. He thinks that the time has come when mer- chants and others should get together and use every means in their power to secure the service between here and Woodbury. He Is not opposed to the trolley to Seymour. but says if 1t goes there and does not come to Waterbury large numbers of people who now come here will go to New Haven and we will be out much desirable trade.

Accuses Woman Inspector of Being

Accuses Woman Inspector of Being
 Too Officious.
 New York, Feb 17.-The steamship Graf Waldersee arrived here yesterday after a stormy voyage from Hamburg. Enormous seas struck her from time to time during the trip, but no great dam age was done. A scene was caused down the bay by the questioning of q woman passenger by one of the women inspectors recently appointed. The woman who was cross-examined says she was Mrs Auhagen, wife of the cap tain of the wrecked ship Alsternio, and that she was going to rejoin her hus- band, who is on the Pacific coast. She replied in a spirited way to the queries put to her. To reporter she said: "This woman spoke to me in the most outrageous fashion. She asked first how much had. which I answered, and then she asked me where I was going. told her, but she persisted in questioning me and made inferences in "a manner that left me no other course but to take serious offense. This per son. who you say is an inspector, did not come to me like any of the other inspectors, but seemed to jump at a conclusion that was to say the least unfeminine and outrageous" Mrs Auhagen was almost hysterical by the time the ship reached her pier.
 As the Graf Waldersee neared her dock in Hoboken, 12-years-old Rus sian boy named Ulrich became much excited at the prospect of seeing his parents. who came to this country sev. era1 years ago. As the ship entered the dock he saw his father and mother waiting to greet him and he waved q signal to them. Other passengers no ticed that he was very pale. Suddenly he fell to the deck and when he was picked up he was dead. When the par ents reached the ship and asked fol their son they were taken to where tht body lay covered with piece of can vas.
 Miss Taylor. one of the new inspec tors. in a report to the immigration au tllorities yesterday afternoon. said tha she asked Mrs Auhagen only the regula ton questions. Mrs Auhagen showed her an address which she Miss Tavlor believed did not exist, and. thinkin' that the woman was unmarried, stranger in New York and in dange of going to fictitious address. ques toned her out of interest for the wo mans welfare. Afterwards she learne' that she was married.

FEWER PLAYeoERs.

The pessimist is decidedly in evidence
in theatrical affairs at present, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Coming on the heels
of Mrs. Fernandezs statement that over
2,700 actors who have commanded sal
aries from $40 to $500 a week, are out
of work in New York city, comes the
statement of reliable Autograph concern
in Chicago that not less than thirty trav-
cling organizations have given up the
ghost this early in the season.
Such shrewd managers as David Belas-
co and William A. Brady both claim tnat
the indications are that in the East the
present season will be the worst that mas
been known in years, and, to an extent,
they attribute this condition to the over
production of new theaters in New York
city. Business there is always off and
some of the most pretentious productions
have fallen down woefully.
Two glazing samples of this are SIR
Henry Irving whose great production Of
"Dante'' at the Broadway theater is do
ing only a half hearted business, and N.
c. Goodwin in his revival of "A Midsum,
mer Nights Dream. Goodwin opened
the handsome New Amsterdam theater,
which is said to be the most beautiful
play house in the world, but the past
week his receipts have fallen down to a
ridfculously low figure. His time has been
shortened from four to two weeks, and
Maxine Elliott succeeds him in her sue
cess, Her Own Way" which Is to be
moved up from the Garrick theater to the
new house It is hoped by the manage
ment of the theater that where Goodwin
failed the feminine end Of the Goodwin
household will be able to turn the tide In
another direction.

street is at the bottom of 1t ALL

ing man, dramatic author, lightning
calculator and second sighter of the
Dramatic Sophocles company, which is
stranded on the island, purchases the
cap from native dealer in eurios. The
acquisition of the cap brings about
many amusing complications and sit
uations. At his wilt, scenes are chang
ed, castles conjured, Municipalities are
mixed up or got rid of, ETC., causing
no end Of laughter and amusement.
The action of the play centers main
~ about Capt. E. Ross Armor, an Eng
llsh officer on the Northumberland
guards, on leave, and Cecilia Gay, "the
snow GIRL, of the stranded troupe. The
natives of the island are full of super
stltlons and believe in the old legend
that Psyche, Goddess of Love, will ap-
pear in shrine near the sea during
the month. Lord Cadwallader Dyce,
high commissioner of Cyprus, wagers
a hundred guineas with Capt. Armor
tnat II he (Armor) will wait by the
Shrine at dusk he will see Psyche and
fall victim to her charms.
10 win the wager, Dyce seeks the aid
OF Manager Fly, the stranded theatrical
manager, who, by the agency Of his
wishing cap, causes Cecilia Gay, the
leading lady Of the troupe, to appear
much against her inclination, in the
enamored of her. Psyche claims him
as one of her lovers, but disappears so
suddenly that Armor is led to believe
that she is delusion.
In his efforts to again find her the
aid of many characters in the play is
solicited, the three comedians and the
wishing cap mixing things up into ap-
parently hopeless tangle
The music is said to be very tuneful
with catchy melody turns and stimu-
lating, though simple enough to be
caught by the audience. Especially is
this so of NOver the Pommery Foam,'
