 The Rev. D. D. Marsh, of West Ha- ven. gave an account of his experience in beekeeping, covering a period of over twenty-five years. His receipts from the sale of honey during that time have been over five hundred and fifty dollars, although he never kept more than sev- enteen swarms. He dwelt especially upon his method of caring for his bees by warmly packing them in the fall to carry them through the winter and he never has lost any swarms.
 Professor Jenkins, of the New Haven Agricultural Experiment station, gave an address on the matter of the adulter- ation of foods, and particularly that of honey He spoke of the making of hon. ey by bees from sugar cane and alluded to some cases of poisoning which have occurred by honey being made from poisonous plants. He told of many samples of what was labeled pure hon ey, purchased in the market, which, upon analysis. proved to be fraudulent and manufactured largely from glucose. The presence of few dead bees in a package Of honey is no criterion of its purity. He said there are many adul- terations which 1t is difficult to detect. It is the product of the bogus bee man of the west who makes it hard for the Connecticut beekeeper to compete with him. The local bee man, he said, can compete with the westerner by putting up his honey in fancy packages marked with his name, which will carry a guarantee of it's purity.
 There was never he said, time when there was so much expended for delica- cies for the table. Professor Jenkins said the experiment station was ready and willing to cooperate with the bee keepers in furthering the the interests of the industry. The address was re- ceived with applause and Professor Jenkins was piled with questions in re- gard to the adulteration of honey.

Japanese Movement on the Lao Tung
 Peninsula.

Chefoo, May 1 3 p, m.-It is expected that the Japanese will land on the Liao Tung peninsula, near Takushan, if they have not already done so. It is learned from the Chinese who have arrived from Takushan that on April 22 four Japanese warships, twelve torpedo boat destroyers and some torpedo boats ap- preached Takushan. Seventeen officers and party of men landed. They were discovered by the Russian coast guards, who fired upon them. The Japanese then returned to their ships, which were still off Takushan when the Chinese left there, April 25. There are some grounds for the belies that a number of trans ports joined the Japanese fleet on the west side of the bay of Corea.

The criticism of Governor Smith for
declining to take charge of the soldier
who died in Bristol while ON furlough
is hasty, to say the least of it. We do
not know the rules of the Home, but
we do know Gov. Smith, and we know
that he adhered strictly to the letter of
the law he would not do otherwise -
and if there is anyone to blame it is
the law makers and not the admins
trant. When this veteran died at Bris,
toll he was just as much outside the ad.
ministration of the Home as if he had
died in Maine or California, and the
Home has no jurisdiction over a mem
mer outside the reservation unless he

Here are two paragraphs from one
issue of the Bristol Courier, of which
ex.Gov. Robert L. Taylor is Presi-
dent, and to whose columns it is safe
to assume that he contributes. The
first item reads thus:
"Decency and fairness and honesty
have no more business in politics than
mule has with a pistol pocket; and
nobody but tyro, an ignoramus. or a
natural born damphool expects to find
them there.
Then in the next column appears
this;

the stump for the Democracy of Ten

the party of the people from the Vir-
ginia border to the Mississippi bluffs,
