BURGLARS FLED.


New Britain, April 28.--A bold at
tempt at wholesale burglary was at
tempted at the residence of Mrs An
ME s. Churchill at 80 Franklin square
at o'clock this morning. The girl
who takes care of the children of Mr.

NUTMEG GRATINGS.


Fire that started in the parlor of
the Thames club building at New
London at 4:30 o'clock this
morning Quilted the building. The
building is of brick and its walls are
intact. The loss will probably amount
to $4,000. Assistant Engineer Charles
Rose of the fire department, was Sc
verely injured by the falling of q floor
after the fire was brought under con-
troll. The top of a desk descended
with him and cut his head. In the
fall he also sustained broken arm
and it is believed internal injuries.
State Deputy James Tevlin of New
London, who Is at the head of the
Knights Of Columbus In Connecticut,
had a narrow escape from losing q
new suit of clothes on Saturday. He
wanted to catch train and not hav-
dng time to go home to change his
clothes he sent his son for new suit
with instructions to bring 1t to the
office where he, the state deputy, Is
employed. Master Tevlin, when
bringing the suit, saw ball game in
d lot. With the spirit of an American
boy he stopped to watch the game
and in few minutes became enthus-
iastical1y interested In the playing,
which he saw through rnaf cfeVlG0S, on
at board fence. The bundle of clothes
became cumbersome and he left it on
the ground beside an ash barrel. The
paternal admonition to hurry to the
Office with the clothes was forgotten
in the boys admiration Of nimble
runners making home runs, agile
fielders catching fly balls or scooping
up grounders, and skillful pitchers
prlzzlinq determined looking batters
by curves and inshoots. When the
game was over the boy looked for
the bundle and found it gone. He be-
gan to cry and his distress attracted
the attention of a sympathetic man,
who helped him recover the bundle.
1t seems that man who makes q
practice of searching ash barrels for
articles that housekeepers discard
came along while the boy was watch
ing the game, and seeing the bundle,
thought the owner intended to put It
in the barrel. He took the bundle
containing State Deputy Devlin's new
suit of clothes. The ashman at first
was not inclined to give up the bun
die, but finally yielded to a threat of
prosecution.

Cold COmmerciaIiSm. -

Gold commerciaism" is in going
out of your own city. town or hamlet
and purchasing goods that can be had
cf your home merchants. These
same merchants purchase large stocks
of goods and aim to take care of the
local trade, but when you send your
dollars to the big city mail order
stores for goods that these same mer-
chants carry and who can sell them to
YOU cheaper than the big city stores
after the express or freight is deduc-
ted. you leave the local business man
with large stock ON hand and often
times hard run for money. ''Cold
commercialism is one of the things
that is doing an injustice to Grand
Junction and every town on the west
ern slope. "Cold commercialism is
making many merchants bankrupt
throughout the country. because peo-
pie living in the smaller places send
their money to the big mail order
stores. thinking that they get better
as we'll as cheaper goods. but they do
not, if they will stop and figure it out
for themselves they will see that we
are speaking the truth. The News
Dispatch of Leadville contained an
able editorial on Gold commercial
ism" in a recent issue and told the
story of the making of an annual cat
alogue for one of the largest mail or
der houses in Chicago. One million
copies of the catalogue were printed
and the work of issuing it cost the
mail order house one million dollars
The people who buy from this firm
have to pay for this catalogue.

Modern Newspaper.

Owen Scott. editor of the Decatur.
illinois. Herald, in an address before
the Illinois Editorial association on
1.-The Modern Newspaper. said:
1.-The modern newspaper is as COM
plex and comprehensive as modern
civilization. 1t is in reality the
youths textbook of practical know
ledge. the monitor of the citizen in
his civic and social duties. the history
the biography and encyclopedia of the
community.
To the many wants of the people
of today it must minister. 1t is at
once a news exchange and manufact-
ureI of business publicity. Its purpose
is to make money for its publishers
by serving the wants and the require
ments of the community in which it
circulates. The successful new spape~
is neither a reformatory nor q sewer.
1t conducts no scandal monger ship and
yet is faithful exponent of its city
town or section. 1t does not assume to
elect presidents. governors. congress-
men. sheriffs or mayors. If "A party
paper. as it should be when published
in cities and county seat towns it is a
faithful and fearless advocate of its
party's men and measures Every
publisher will early learn, however,
that the party managers and candi-
dates are more concerned in getting
the papers support before the election
than they are in supporting it after
wards. 1t then early becomes neces-
sary for him to observe the first law
of nature and look out for himself. If
he overlooks this little matter of de-
tail he will find that the politicians
will not do it for him. The modern
newspaper is a business institution
equipped with extensive and expensive
machinery. From the news gatharer
ON the streets to the newsboy. who
sells or carries it. in every stage of
the papers productin, all are ON the
alert and the work is run under nress-
ure. The publication of newspapers
has become so much of commercial
transaction that much of the personal
element so common in a past genera
tion has passed away
