Since 1896, the last year of Demo
cratic administration in national af-
fairs, the rate Of interest on farm mort
cages has fallen from s per cent. TO 6.
This reduction in the rate of interest
means Il great deal to farmers who
borrow money to buy more land or to
make improvements, and 1t is due to
Republican prosperity.

ARE LEAVING TOWN.
More of the Striking Carpenters Bid.
Good Bye to Friends.

ValiSes are very much in evidence
about town to-day Little groups of
men could be seen hurrying here and
there making preparation to shake the
dust of town from off. their feet until
the strike is settled and many of
their friensd were on hand to see them
off. 1t was a spectacle such assne-
body cares to see and it is hoped that
when the present trouble is over Wa
terbury will not witness anything of
the kind for many a year. The carr
.penters are going with vengeance
and while it Is but reasonable to be-
lieve that as many of them as have
permanent residence in this city will
return in the near future, still large
number of them will locate elsewhere
so that several members of the craft
are going for good. 1t is a serious
blow to men with families and all of
them feel it. 1t was said this after
noon that a few of the men had re-
turned to their old jobs and that-more
will make break in a day or two, but
one wouldn't think so by the apnear-
ance of things at headquarters of the
Carpenters and Joiners' union on
South Main street, where all appear
cheerful and confident of coming out
victorious in the end.

ANOTHER WRINKLE.
The Smallpox lnjunction Case is Get
ting Very Interesting.

The smallpox injunction case. which
has been lingering in the district court
some weeks, will develop new features
at short calendar in the district court
Saturday morning, if Attorney Phe-
Ian's expectations are realized. 1t will
be recalled that City Attorney Kellogg
filed his answer to Attorney Phelan's
suit for permanent injunction to re-
strain the city health authorities apd
Principal Phillips of the Sprague school
in Waterville from denying Elmer p.
Tullar's 5-year-old daughter instruction
in the school because her parents de-
clined to have her vaccinated.
In his answer to the complaint, City
Attorney Kellogg has set up the order
of the board of health making yaccina-
tion compulsory in all of the schools.
Attorney Phelan in his demurrer to the
answer. says in effect that the order
OF the board. of health iii the matter is
like the flowers that bloom in the
spring, i'll that it has nothing whatever
to do with the case. He sets forth that
the board of helth. and, Furthermore,
the boardsof education. have nothing to
do with it And his ground for taking
that stand is that the Wateryille school
district is not under the jurisdiction of
the board of health so far as the order
regarding vaccination is concerned III
short, Attorney Phelan contends that
everything pertaining to- the conduct
and the health OF the Wateryille school
is the affair Of the school committee of
that district and not of the board Of
health.

THE BLACK NAN
Startling Speech Of Senior
Bishop of the A. n. E.
Church.

Chicago, May 18.-"God never made
white man. In the beginning all
men were black, but iii their wander
ings on the earth many of them have
become bleached. And in 'theif. u1l-
alterable pallor many of these bleach
ed men, all of whom We're made black
at tie beginning. now look with con.
tempt and indifference-often with
prejudice and hate-upon their breth-
rem the negroes. who have retained
the color that God gave them"
Such was the declaration of Rev III.
Nj. Turner, senior bishop Of the Afri-
cam Methodist Episcopal church, in
an address in Quinn chapel before one
of the sessions of the church's confer
ence. The chapel was packed with
negroes who are leaders in the relig-
ious work of their race, and all ap-
plauded wildly.
what we negroes need is some ed
ucation," continued Bishop Turner.
.sWe need not only the various schools
now under control of our church, but
we need proper instruction impaired.
We should write books of our own,
poems OF our own, scientific treatises
of our own in harmony with our color
and our race. And don't learn songs
like Wash Me and Shall be Whittier
Than Snow'-a song that / would not
tolerate sung in my presence
Il will say to the credit of the white
man--whose race is at the same the
meanest ever saw and the best
that wherever our race tries to rise as
general rule he will help us"

NorwiCh's Mayor
Wants to Know.
Puts Straightforward Ques-
tiOn to Democratic State
Committee Runnin &
Down a RumOr Started by
a New Haven Paper.

Hon Charles T.. Thayer, mayor Of
Norwich, has forwarded a communica-
tion to the members of the democratic
state central committee asking them
If there is any truth in the statement
published in a. New Haven paper to
the effect that the machinery of the
party is hostile to him, and requesting
a reply so that he may know for sure
whether or not before taking any stock
in the rumor. Mayor Thayer was an
aspirantN for the nomination for gov
ernor at the last state election, but was
defeated by the Hon Melbert b. Cary
of Ridgefield III. M. Rigney of this
city. who has been on the state CEN
tral committee for the past couple OF
years and was honored by a reelection
at the state convention held in Hart
ford a couple of weeks ago, said to-day
that he had received such communl-
cation from Mayor Thayer and that
that was the first intimation he had
that anybody on the state central COM
mittee was opposed to Mr. Thayer.

!, OUR NORMAL SCHOOL.
A Money Saver Says Mr. Tinker-Num-
her That will Take Exams.

Superintendent B. w. Tinker Of the
nublic schools takes exception to the
renort that no young ladies are going
to take the examinations for admls-
sion to the City Normal school. me
examinations will be held In the as
sembly hall in the High school build
ing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
daV of next week. superintendent
TINKER states that at least eight young
ladies' have already signified their ln7
tention of taking the examinations.
Five Of the young ladies have gradu-
ated from the Waterbury High school
in past years, while the other three
viii graduate from the Convent de
Notre Dame this year. This number
NAV be increased by few young la
dies who are members of the class OF
1904 of the High school. Eight is Y
fairly good number to take the ex-
aminatfons.. The class will be limited
to ten. Last year about eight persons
took the examinations and four of
them passed and were admitted to the
training school MFR Tinker further
more stated that even If the class only
numbers three or four students the
City Normal school would be an ex-
pense saver for the city 1t saves
quite q little sum of money each year
in teachers salaries. So the city
does not suffer any loss, but in fact
gains by having such an institution,
even if the classes are small.
The action Of the board of educa-
tion in passing the vote requiring that
preference shall be given to the gradu-
ates of the City Normal school over
those of other institutions Of learning
in matter of appointment as teachers
has caused considerable discussion. It
has been received rather coldlye i'll
many quarters A large number of
people are of the opinion that the
young ladies, who are graduates of the
State Normal or City Normal or some
other institution of learning should be
appointed according to merit. No fa-
vors should be shown to the graduates
Of any one institution, even il III is ii
home Institution, said one gentleman
to-day If scholars prefer to
attend the New Britain Normal school
that is their privilege. Such talk that
the local Normal school is superior to
the state Normal schools is all bosh.
1t would be as reasonable to say that
the High school was as good as Holy
Cross or Yale college.
For some reason the City Normal
school has been declining in popularity
steadily since the first year of it's es-
tablishment When it was first estab-
Iished about 40 young ladies took the
examinations and 20 were admitted
Two years ago about Is or 20 took the
exams and 10 were admitted. Last
year s took them and We're admit
ted In thn meantime n large ulImhnr
of young ladies from this city have
been attending the New Britain and
New Haven Normal schools.

COMMISSION WANTS
TO CONE HERE

The Philippine commission Of forty
persons which intends to tour the
United States is anxious to spend some
time in Waterbury and wants to know
If the city will entertain them. Nothing
has been done about the matter yet,
but it is a question whether the alder
men would care to foot the bills for
our friends from the Philippines. It
would cost a neat sum, more than the
aldermen have authority to appropri-
ate for such purpose, SO that in all
probability il the tourists take in the
Brass City they will do SO at their own
expense. AS matter of fact the
government has made big appropria-
ton to meet the expense of the COM
mission and it seems rather strange
that municipalities should be asked to
chin in. .,.i Il. .sa.s

Donation of sac, 900 for New Hospit-

New York, May Discouraged by
their inability to raise sufficient funds
for their projected new hospital build
ing and on the eve of renouncing $125,-
900 in conditional donations, the board
of directors of the Manhattan Eye.
Ear and Throat hospital have received
from Edward r. Thomas $4,000 as a
personal memorial to his father Gen
eral Samuel Thomas.
This unexpected gift will secure for
the institution the conditional gifts
which were about to be returned and
makes possible the erection of what
the directors predict will be the finest
special hospital in the world. f" The
Thomas family year ago donated to
the same hospital the sum Of $4,000.

THEY ALL WANT 1T.
Candidates at Springfield. Ill. Hold
ing Aloof From Combinations.

Springfield, Ill, May 1S.-Restless-
ness was on the increase to-day among
the delegates to the republican state
convention. Many announced an i'm
tention of going home, leaving a few
of their associates to vote their re-
spectiye delegations. In the rank
and file there was a growing inclina-
ton for a recess of thirty days, but so
far as known none of the candidates
was favorable to such a course. APP
pearances Indicated that the breaking
of the deadlock would be long de-
ferred Nif the event should await an
an agreement between candidates. All
night Governor Yates and his cam
paign committee remained at work OIL
the upper floor of the Leland hotel,
comforting alternately with the Dem
cen and the Lowden leaders,
1t is stated to-day that while a COM
bination between the governor and
one or the other of the Cook county
candidates was somewhat nearer than
ever before nothing had been conclud-
ed.
Neither Yates, Deneen or Lowden
was willing to concede that his
chances We're less promising than
those of his rivals. No one of the cam
didates seemed willing to- enter a
combination which would eliminate
himself.
Springfield, May 1S.-Before the
opening of the convention to-day the
Lowdendelegates marched into the hall
led by band. Chairman Cannon called
the convention to order and the bal
loting began. The Both, 40th and list
ballots showed few changes from the
ballots of yesterday. The 41st ballot
resulted as follows: Yates, 4S4; Din
neen. ABB; Lowden, 39915 Hamlin, III:
Warner, A. Sherman, 2, and Pierce
81. The convention then on motion
took recess until 3 o'clock this after
noon.
