GOOD WORDS FOR
 SENATOR KENNEDY

The nomination of Senator Ken nedy of Naugatuck for Congressman at large on the Democratic state tick ct, brings forth a strong candidate against MT. Lilley, the present Re publican incumbent Mir Kennedy is popular in the southern part of the state, where he is best known. He has been a consistent Democrat all his life, and his sympathy and work have all tend ed toward the common people. Sen ator Kennedy endeared himself to the working men of the state three years ago when he took up the, cause of Mayor Charters of Ansonia, who was being bounded by the corpora tions of his section, and who were bound if possible, to land him in jail. So we'll did Senator Kennedy defend Mayor Charters that he was allowed to go free, the case against him fall ing fiat. The work of Senator Ken nedy was gratuitous, 1t being done cheerfully, because it was a case where injustice was being done to q fellow man by a powerful corpora ton bound to crush out organized labor. Another instance in which Senator Kennedy should receive the votes of the working people. in the state was his fight for tnionism ' in Waterbury, where the powerful Inter ests of Philadelphia capitalists did ev- erything in their power to convict the trolley strikers of that city. All this was not a question of compensation on the part of Senator Kennedy but a question of love for his fellow beings striving for better conditions, and jus tice for those who do the work of the world, but who receive only small portion of what they create, through their own indifference. We claim that Senator Remedy should receive the votes of every laboring man in Connecticut in return for what he has done for them whenever he had a chance. East Hartford Gazette.

THE KELLEY WILL.
Interested Parties Csven Hearing in
 Probate Court To-Day.


 Christine somerss opposition to the will of the late Miss Margaret Kelley was given hearing in the probate court to-day before Judge Lowe. At torney Russell appeared for the will and Attorney O'Neill against it. The principal objection to the will was that 1t contained clause leaving $1,OO0 in trust with two of the bene6ciaries, Rose Kelley and Ann Donahue, for masses. Attorney O'Nedn contended that the manner in which this prOy1s- ion was framed made it impossible to be carried out because it was too 1ndef- indte He also held that 1t was the will of Rose Kelley and not Miss Mar garet Reilly.
 One witness testified that testatTix had told her it was her intention to leave all of her estate to Rose Kelley, but Rose would not have it that way; J she wished it to be evenly divided among the relatives and accordingly it was so bequeathed. On that ac- count Attorney O'Neill held 1t was the will of Rose Kelley.
 Had the will named particular church in which testatrix desired the masses to be said, or any particular clergyman to say them, then the pur- pose or the Will COulQ D0 CdIIIcu Oul- but in it's indefniteness no one could demand $1 from the executrices, nor could they insist upon the masses being said. Different dioceses have differ ent rules regarding such masses ulld it was discretionary with the execu- trices to have the masses said in Can ada or France, for instance, whereas it might have been testatrfx's intention and wish to have them said in Water bury. On account of the indefinite ness of the will on that point 1t Is lin- possible to proceed by it and therefore the will cannot be proper one.
 After Mir Russell made his state nent. which was to the effect that the purpose of testatrix was as plain as day. 1t was agreed to continue the hearing with the hope that meanwhile an amicable arrangement may be made.

will put the fixture on firm basis in this country. The limitation of ten machines to each country competing in the Vanderbilt race has been productive of the most comment. favorable and otherwise. Very sensibly the national ity of the competing machine rather than that of the owner or driver is made the basis of the representations, as otherwise the very purpose of the race would be largely defeated. Amer jeans owning big racing cars made abroad would enter as Americans oth- erwise. and thus exclude or at least limit the number of American-made machines that could and would repre- sent the United States. It is not a question of persons but motors that 1s to be decided each year, and every m centive to the competition of American manufacturers should rightly be Of fered the latter

Outweighing in importance any au- tomobile fixture on the calendar of American automobilists, the Vanderbilt cup race, whose conditions have just been announced, says writer in the Illustrated Sporting News, should in time rival in magnitude the Gordon Bennett race abroad. The conditions are manifestly fair and wisely made. They serve the purpose of the founder of the race in giving encouragement and incentive to manufacturers of American machines to make still great CT progress along the lines of more stable. hardy automobiles. The dis tance-not less than 25O nor more than 800 miles-will afford most thorough test. Coming in the fall of each year. the event will have to itself the inter est of the motoring world, inasmuch as the Gordon Bennett race will have been run off four or five months be
 fore. The first race for the Vanderbilt cup is now planned for October of this year. One wise provision Is that insuring the renewal of the race in 1905 in this country, no matter what nation may win the first race. This

SENDING COINS IN LETTERS.
Various Devices That Are Employed to
 Keep Them from Breaking Out.

Various Devices That Are Employed to
 Keep Them from Breaking Out.
 Coins sent loose in letter. said a clerk in an blishment receiving much money by mall, sare always like ly to break through the envelope and get lost. but there are various ways in which this may be avoided, and people generally now show more care in send- ing coins by mail than they formerly did.
 "There are now made devices es- pecially designed for use in sending coins through the mails-coin carriers. One of these consists of card of the thickness of the coin and having punched in 1t hole of the exact size of the coin to be sent, this card hav- ing a patch of thin paper pasted on the back of it, across the coin hole, while on the other side there is pasted, by one edge, a flap that can be pasted down over the hole on that side when the coin has been inserted in 1t.
 Tn such a holder 1t Is obviously i'm possible for the coin to move about in the letter. Such devices are used by concerns sending out circulars invit. ing subscriptions to periodicals. the holder sent having an opening of the exact size of the coin required.
 Some people wrap scrap of paper around a coin before putting it in a letter, and this helps to prevent the sharp edges of the coin from cutting or breaking through the envelope. But more aid more people nowadays have advanced on that. Some, for instance now take card and cut in it paralls slits not quite so far apart as the di l ameter of the coin and then crowd the opposite edges of the coin into the two slits. between which it is held.
 And then some people take a carC and lay the coin on it and simply paste piece of paper over it on the card and then there are many people now who lay coin down on the paper or which they are writing, near one cor ner, and then double the corner of tht paper over the coin and paste 1t down to the sheet around 1t.
 I "So there are many ways of send I ing coin in letter without fear ol its shifting about in 1t and breakinS out: and while there are still plenty o, people who just drop coin in letteI and let 1t go. there are more and nor, people who in sending coins by mai now exercise reasonable care.

There is no danger of the farmer passing from existence, says the Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune He knows good thing as well as his ur- ban brother, and so does his boy. Im- proved methods of farming may con- tinue to diminish the number of farm hands. but not even that fact will work to a discontinuance of the neccs- sity for the, farm laborer nor of the laborer in the harvest fields. The fact that Kansas farmers this early in the season are inviting farm hands to their corn and rye and wheat and al- falfa fields, with promise of good wages and board, is a strong argumca at against the blueness which so often attacks the American citizen when be imagihes he sees an inpouring of the farmer and ths farmers boys to the cities

Wonderful Intelligence of That Small

 If you anchor a pole in a body of water, leaving the pole above the sur face, and put a spider upon it, he will his plans to escape. At first he will spin a web several inches long and hang to one end while lie allows tile other to float off in the wind, in the hope that it will strike some object. Of course, this plan proves a failure. He waits until the win6 shifts, per- haps, and then sends another silken bridge floating off in another direct ion. Another failure is followed by several attempts until all the points of the compass have been tried. But neither the resources nor the reason ing covers of the spider are exhaust. ed. He climbs to the top of the pole and energetioally goes to work to con. struct a silken balIon. He has nc hot air with which to infiate it but he has the power of making it olloy- ant. When he gets his balloon inish ed, he does not go off upon the mere supposftion that it will carry him, as men often do, but he fastens it to q guy-rope, the other end of which he attaches to the island pole upon whicl he is q prisoner. He then gets into his aerial vehicle, while 1t is made fast, and tests 1t to see whether itt dimensions are capable of bearing him away. He sometimes finds thal he has made it too small in whtcl case he hauls it down, takes it al apart. and constructs it on q larger and better plan. A spider has beer seen to make three different balloon. before he became satisfied with lilt experiment. Then he will get in, snaI his guy-rope, and sail away to lant as gracefully and so supremely inde pendent of his surroundings as coult well be imagined Frank IF. Sweet in June Lippincott's Magazine.
