HELD CONFERENCE
Regarding as to Convention de New Senatorial Districts-Dates Fixed.

Regarding as to Convention de New
 Senatorial Districts--Dates Fixed.
 Republican States Committeeman John W. Coe, of Meriden, F. L. Gay lord, of Ansonia, Warren A. Hall, of Waterbury, and Frederick A. Belts, of this city, held a conference in the Union League club yesterday afternoon for the purpose Of naming a time and place for a convention of the delegates rep resenting the newly constituted sena- torial districts, and which comprise more than one town, to select delegates to the state republican convention to be held in this city on May 10 and Il.
 Under the rule adopted by the state central committee in October, this course must be followed Each sena- torial district Is entitled to two dele gates in the state convention, making seventy additional members of the state convention, under the new plan. New Haven. for instance, will have two for each representative in the general as- sembly, as heretofore, and two for each of it's four senatorial districts, making twelve all told.
 The conference which the New Haven county members of the state central committee held does not affect New Haven in any way. as there are four districts in one town here instead of four towns in one district, as is the case in some instances.
 The various conventions of senatorial district delegates will be called for the largest town nearest the district.
 On May delegates chosen at these conventions will meet in New Haven, Waterbury and Meriden at o'clock in the afternoon. The convention to be held in New Haven will be at the Young Mems Republican club, and it is possible that all the delegates in the New Haven district may come to this city in preference to other places. The state convention on May 10 will com ! mence at D. m. in the Hyperion the ater and will be continued on May IL in the morning.

book to Timothy Sullivan, who prompt ly signed his name and drew a much
 larger circle about it. At the conclu-
 sion Of this tale, MT. Jerome said: T
 leave it to you if humor is not desirable in a chies magistrate"
 MT. Jerome characterized the reason for the activity of the district leader in vote getting as Absolute selfishness for his own pocket and his own power. ''
 He said that it is the district leader
 who is making judges and legislators everywhere to-day. He corrected an impression existant among reformers
 by saying: Remember that the district
 leaders influence is due to personal in
 fuence and not to corruption" The
 speaker said that it is this same gen. i, tlemanly vote-getter who is the gravest
 danger to American institutions to-day. MT. Jerome then made his appeal to the college men. He said: The only way to break the power of the district Header is to meet him on his own ground. His power is no accident. He fought for it and won it. Until you can go down into his district and fight for 1t, the times will remain dark.

HUNTING WHITE TAIL DEER
Requires All the Hunters Skill. Pa
 tience and Carefulness.

Haunting the depths of the wood of the famous family of Virginia deer, the white tail-the most hunted. the most plentiful. and yet seldom brought into camp. Lucky the sportsmen who has been able to bring down three of these fine deed in all his hunting ex- perience.
 Go into the nearby mountains, and in the canon bottoms you will see count less tracks of his majesty the Virginia deer. the white tail' of Eastern States and called just deer in Southern California. But to see these tracks does not by any means assure the hunter a shot at one of these magnificent ami mals. for not only is the white tail the largest of the true deer of North Amer ica, but he also has reputation as the best hider of all game animals. By na- ture fond of thick cover, he usually spends most of the time in the depths of some well wooded canor-a brushy river bottom full of briars and under growth is an ideal spot to lok for him, and an ideal spot to miss a running shot as well. And that is about all the chance you will get at the white tail 
 most impossible feat, by the way. One of these deer will lie securely hidden until the hunter. watching the middle distance instead of his feet. almost fails over him. Then he will get up with a who-uf' and tearing of underbrush, and by the time you get your gun to your face the deer will be somewhere over in the next county.
 They do not range high on the noun tain, and most hunters will tell you that the best deer hunting is after the first heavy snow in the fall, when the deer come down into the higher foot hills to get the new grasses brought out by the rains that usually accompany these early snows.
 With the black-tail, the least common deer of this section, everything is dif- ferent. Look for him in the open mea- dows of the mountains, where the pines wall in little valleys all clothed in tall grasses. There the smaller and darker deer moves on velvet hoofs noiselessly, and seeing you. vanishes silently or with a low snort, seeking rather to es- cape by stealth than by speed. On the level and in the opean the black-tail is a swift enough runner to try the aim of any rifieman, but in the piney woods he can be almost as silent as a noun tain lion. The best way to hunt this deer is to take him at his own game joband stalk him. Armed with a light l'rifie. for stalking black-tail is an all- day job of hard walking, the hunter slips from tree to tree through the deer country, watching every clunp of ! brush, seeing every leaf that moves, prepared at all times to swing the rifle on shadowy. half-seen form slipping away through the dim recesses of the woods.-Froni the Los Angles Times.

A JAPANESE NURSERY GARDEN.
 A Japanese nursery garden is a reve- lation. There, on benches, in rows, sit tortured trees in their bowls or pans of faience. Their perfection is a marvel of patience, requiring years for it's ac- complishment; sometimes one man will give as much as thirty years attention to a single little cherry tree. Each curve, each leaf, each twig has its di- rection and proportion regulated by the most rigid and immemorial principles;
 and to have any value in Japanese eyes a dwarf must conform absolutely to the iron rules laid dowi by the canons of taste in the days when Iyeyasu Toku- gawa paralyzed into an adamantine inn mobility the whole artistic and intellec- tual life of the country. The effect is, of course, exquisite in it's elaborate and rather morbid beauty. But it must be said that there are many dwarfs, very many, which go for low prices, owing to the imperfection of their develop ment; they have beugh, or a bend, that is not prescribed. Consequently the Japanese will buy them-indeed, with pleasure-but will not admit their claims to be works of art Naturally he will buy them, as, even so they are beautiful, and their price brings them within range of every ones ambition. So, at home, one might buy Severn in- stead of a Turner, recognizing the diff ferences clearly, but valuing the cheap CT picture as highly as 1t deserves, and

REMAIN AT ATHENS.

Renan went to travel in the Mediter- ranean countries when the storm reused by the publication of the ssyie de Je-7 sus" became too violent to face without departing from the unconcerned atti- tude he had maintained. Madame Re nan accompanied him, and they ascend ed the Nile to Thebes, and also followed the footsteps of the Apostles as indica- ted in the book of their Acts" Those of St. Paul. who prevented an arrest of development in the Church of Jerusa- lem similar to that which took place in the Arminian church, most interested them. Paul saw the possibilities Of the new doctrine if he could put it out to nurse in Rome and win for it the sym pathy of the Greek world. As the foot steps of that Apostle are nowhere more distinct than at Athens, thither Renan went toward the end of his tour, heard him relate his first impressions of the Acropolis. They entranced him. The distinction" of the view, the purity of the air, the peculiar outline of the dis l JanC nOuhIalLS, WHICH III SlZe were Just right and In all points satisfying to the eye afforded him wholly new sensa- l tion. He experienced the joy of com plete release from prosaic vulgarity. A fresh sea breeze quickened his pulses. The near hills wore their spring robe of yellow, blue and violet, of hyacinths, daffodils and anemones; and the breeze waited from them the scents of aroma | tic herbs.

NOStAetAAASNA AACAA- 4 tAs'S 4 eASCsJ
 The passage of this act was followed by several suits for its enforcement, and several decisions by the supreme court were secured, declaring it's consti- tutional and applying it to various con- ditions Then, on March 4, 1893, Grover Cleveland was again inaugurated, and in his inaugural address he refers to trusts, saying:
 There aggregations and combina- tions frequently constitute conspiracies against the interests of the people, and in all of their phases they are unnatural and opposed to our American sense of fairness. To the extent that they can be reached and restrained by federal power the general government should relieve our citizens from their interfer- ence and exactions.'
 He suggests no modification of the sherman act, and recommends nothing in it's place, but in harmony with the teachings of state sovereignty states manship, of which he always had been, and therefore always will be a dilligent student, he suggests that it is very doubtful whether the Federal govern ment has any Jurisdiction in the prem ises
 That was his inaugural address. He does not again refer to the subject of trusts in message or proclamation un- til December, 1896, after the election of William Mckinley, when he can throw the responsibility upon another. Tn this, his last message, he denounces combin- ations of every description in language as incorporate and infammatory as was ever employed by his party's more recent candidate for the presidency. He says:
 Their tendency is to crush out in- dividual independence and to hinder and prevent the free use of human fac- ulties and the ful development of hu- man character"
 He then discouraged federal legisla- tion by saying:
 "The fact must be recognized, how ever, that all federal legislation on this subject may fall short of it's purpose because of the complex character of our governmental system, which, while making the federal authority supreme in It's sphere, has carefully limited that sphere by meets and bounds that can not be transgressed- The decision of our highest court on this precise ques- ton renders 1t quite doubtful whether the evils of trusts and monopolies can be adequately treated through federal action unless they seek, directly and purposely, to include in their objects transportation or intercourse between states or between the United States and foreign countries"
 This, so far as the record shows, is his last utterance,' official or otherwise, on the subject of trusts, until he ex- plains, in his recent interview, the req son why nothing was done during either of his administrations.

WHITAKER WRIGHT FINANCE.


 It may only be doing justice to the memory of a dead man to acknowledge that he did not originate the financial methods of which he made such fatal use. He found them in existence here when he came over from America in 1894. He speedily saw their great pos abilities from gambling and market rigging point of view, and he lost no time in utilizing them. Their real orig inators were the Jewish-Anglo-G Ser man groups of financiers who a few years before had divided up the Rand among themselves. By arrangement with ex-President Kruger, they begged out miles of claims. Each group got ten or twenty times more claims than it could possibly work. They had neither the labor nor the capital requisite to de- velop them. Consequently they had to form companies to hold and finance them until working arrangements could be made. These finance companies adopted a uniform policy of dividing up their claims into manageable blocks of one hundred and fifty to two hundred claims each. As they had opportunity they .foated" a subsidiary company for each block, with generous capital on
