LIVING IN A FREAK AGE.

Are we living in a freak age? Have the sun spots spotted everything num- dane as well as terrestrial? The twen-
 tieth century has given birth to some curious personal manifestations. Noth- ing would be heard of these freaks if it were not for their generous public advertisement by the press. In politics we have in recent years seen an un- known man spring from the ranks of the Nebraska Populists and, equipped only with a clever tongue, cleave his way twice to a Presidential nomination and then, on the basis of the free ad- vertising of a nondescript publication he edits, secure princely income from it every year. In medicine, Dr. Osler. addressing the public, declares that a
 mans usefulness ends at the age of forty, and that the world would be as well off if men of sixty years were chloroformed. This safne doctor not long ago in an address in Canada rec commended a tax on bachelors and an export duty on Canadian girls. Noto- riety is evidently Osler's ambition, and the newspapers are giving it to him. In finance the freak of the age is t'Tom Lawson, of Boston, whose whirlwind campaign ended as soon as it had be- gun, but lasted long enough, it is un- derstood, to enable him to gather in a
 basketful of shekels. Meanwhile. the great newspapers that are wasting
 their valuable space on every new freak as fast as he appears are raising their advertising rates to all legitimate branches, of business. Queer world!--- Leslie's Weekly. z>.-,s-

EPWORTH PASToRATE.

Bishop Henry w. Warren, the presid- ing officer of the New York East con ference, which has ust completed its session at Waterbury, assigned Rev. William Giffin to the pastorate at Ep-
 worth M. E. church, this city, for ar- other year. ss..1.,s. s -,.
 Rev. MT. Giffin is a graduate of Wes- leyan university and of Drew Theologi- cal seminary, and has also taken stu dies elsewhere. He was actively en- gagged for some time in mission work in New York city. In 1901 he was as- signed to the pastorate of the church
 at Westchester, N. T.. During his pas torate of three years in this charge he was successful in building up the church in membership and in spiritual strength, and his departure from that field a year ago was a source of great regret. A year ago MT. Giffln went abroad and travelled through the Holy
 Land. He was assigned to the Epworth pulpit by the conference sitting at
 Brooklyn in April, 1904. At that time
 he was in Palestine. He arrived here to begin his labors in May. During the year he has become 8 recognized pow CT in the community in which his
 charge is located. The congregations
 have nearly doubled in numbers since
 his coming, attendance on the prayer
 meetings is steadily increasing, there is
 no debt either on church property or
 for past expenses, the end of the fiscal
 year on April finding all bills paid
 and nothing owed by the church to any one. To persons knowing anything about church administration, or who
 have ever had any connection with church management, these words suffice
 to state the satisfactory and adequately
 able administration of affairs at Ep- worth during the past year. Rev. MT.
 Giffin received earnest invitations and strong inducements to go elsewhere during the present conference year, but, liking New Haven and seeing opportu- nifty for useful labor here, he left the appointment entirely with the church authorities. They, recognizing the mer- itorieus work accomplished during the
 past year in this field, on the request of the church, after a conference of the
 committee, Arthur Remnant and Fred
 erick Bostwick, with Dr. W. A. Rich
 ard, presiding elder, decided upon the
 reappointment of MT. Giff1n to this
 charge.
 Rev. MT. Giffin is an eloquent preach
 CT, strong, clear, logical speaker.
 Wherever he has spoken he has held the attention of his audiences unwa- veringly, and all who have heard him
 once are anxious to hear him as often
 as possible. He will occupy the pulpit
 at Epworth tomorrow, morning and evening.

LoBsTERs AND BASS.
TIatcheries for Growing Them T'a-
 vored by Many

vored by Many
 l. The legislative committee on fisheries and game heard a good many persons yesterday in favor of proposed Holsters and black bass hatcheries. No one ap- peared against the plans. It is pro- posed to appropriate $15,000 for leasing land and building in Noank for the lobster culture. Ex-Senator Thomas Hamilton of New London urged the carrying out of the scheme. aCap'n'' Latham Rathbun of Noanls, Rep resentative Fish and ''Cap'n" Ashby of Noank told of the falling off in the lobster business from what it was only fifteen years ago. Without a power boat fisherman cannot begin to make a success of the business.
 Senator Paige, Senator Judson and others spoke of the fun to be got from bass fighting and urged the establish ment of a hatchery. Stocking the Housatonic River was mentioned by a good many as advisable.
 There were several bills relating to tine season on shore birds and wild fowl and the general sentiment was for leav- ing the season as it is.

Ys.1of New England atl- cestry He entered Williams college in 1864, in the sophomore class, and grad,~ uated with the clasHof 1ssz with both class and scholarship honors. EIe re- ceived from Williams college the degree of M. Al He was admitted to the bar at Pittsfield, Mass, in 1870, and prac-
 ticed law there until 1872, during, which time he was also elected town clerk and filled the office of clerk of the dis. trict court as well as other public po- sitions.

MT Taylor thus takes to the office of president of that company the experience of thirty three years knowledge of and association with the administrative affairs Of the company. which will be invaluable to him in the new responsibilities which he now as- sumes. Through his original legal training and his study since he he has
 been connected with the company of
 both current legislation and decisions affecting all branches of lite Insurance,
 Mn Taylors knowledge on those sub jects is one which places him in the first rank of insurance officials.
 MT. Taylor has also won for himselfsa place in literature both by his literary and critical ability, as shown in his works ''Maximilian and Carlotta'' and Roger Ludlow the Colonial Law Maker
 Said a close friend of Mir Taylor;
 For thirty years MT. Taylor was Colonel Greene's close confidant and as- sistant in the management of the af fairs of the Connecticut Mutual and
 brought to that relation all the ability and integrity which are his in great
 abundance. Through the storm and stress of years, has been service of faithful loyalty to the ideals and prin- ciples for which he and Colonel Greene were fighting, and personal loyalty to his chief which was unwavering. With this history and experience behind him.
 both Mir Tayior's friends and the friends of the company cannot but feel that his election to the office Of presi-
 dent of the Connecticut Mutual is a just reward for faithful and neritorious service done, and surety for a bright future forsdhe company V. =,

HIGHER WAGE SCALE.
RETARDS BUILDING OPERA
 TIoNS IN HARTFORD,

Contractors Say Very Little New Work l
 Will be Begun While the Cost is So l
 Great--MateriaI Also Very High
 New Scale Went Into Effect April 1.
 Hartford, April 14-Recent increases in the wages of men employed in three of the building trades have put a stop to considerable building and most all planning for building in the near fu- ture. according to one of the eontrac- tors of this city, Increases in wages were recently asked by the Bricklayers' Masons' and Mason Tenders Unions and they have been acceded to by all the contractors. Last night the Board of Street Commissioners raised its scale of wages for bricklayers in accordance with the new rate. The raise follows soon after the union's victory last sum- mer in the strike, when the contractors did not hold together in refusing de- mands. ..ssz E. e-- - The new rates agreed upon by the unions are 50 cents day more for the bricklayers and masons, and 25 cents a day more for the mason tenders. By the new scale the bricklayers will re- ceive 55 cents an hour and will work l eight hours a day. They have been getting 50 cents an hour or thereabouts, although the street boards official rate was only A cents. The masons get the same rates. The mason tenders get their proportion. They have been get ting about $2S0 and now get s2.55. With these rates goes an agreement for half-holiday Saturday without pay. The new scale went into effect April and so far no contractor has refused to pay it. It is said that there was an clement in the unions that wanted | to ask for still more, even as high as 65 cents an hour for bricklaying. Others
 wanted the half holiday with pay, which is the rule in New York. The more conservative counsel prevailed | however.
 Contractors say that the raise in the rates has put damper on building here. Charles B. Andrus said that con- tractors had suffered heavily in buiid- ings now in operation or soon to be started according to the contracts all ready let. because the cost of labor Is so much more than they had figured on in making contracts. He said that the unions gave the employers about three weeks notice. Mir. Andrus said in effect;
 "The increase will almost put stop to building here this year No one can afford to Invest his money when labor is so high Material is also very high. Many persons who were contemplating building have now decided not to since the cost has increased go much. Con tractors are also shy of taking con tracts. Those of us who have con- tracts on our hands are suffering of course. The rates paid here are higher than they are anywhere else in the State. As far as know none of the contractors has refused to pay the new rates''
