ent in favor of the bill. Colonel Frank
W. Cheney is at the head of the COM

costing $4,000. After the committees
favorable action on the bill it will go
to the committee on appropriations for
approval.
Senator Davis is doing admirable
work at the head of the agricultural
committee. He is the member from
Middlesex county of the state board of
agriculture, with two years longer to
serve. He is one of the most infiuen-
tial members of the board and is con-
fident that the $500 annual allowance
for the board which is asked for from
the general assembly will be granted.
1t is fact worth recalling that the an
nual sum allowed the state board of
agriculture has not been increased one
dollar in seventeen years. In nearly
every other department in the state
there have been large increases bien-
Enially.
Senator John w. Atwood, of the
Twenty-ninth district, who is chairman
of the committee ON fisheries and game,
is looking out thoroughly for the inter
ests of the state, allowing no bill to be
reported favorably from his committee
which is not one of public utility.
Adverse reports are coming in thick
and fast from the judiciary committee.
In the house it requires all the suayity
and finesse that ex-Speaker Kenealy
can use to keep the members calm when
some of their favorite measures are
thrown overheard. But the sacrifice
must be made and adverse reports must
be sustained in committee of the whole.
That is the only way in which legisla-
tion can be advanced. III the senate
there are not so many whose toes can
be tfodden upon in the rejection of
bills which have met an adverse fate
in the judiciary committee rooms. Sem
ator Paige, who holds the place of exc
eutioner in dealing with these bills, per-
forms the part assigned him with so
much tact that the extinction of meas
ures is not even regretted. He was
enlinently skilful in dealing with the
wife-beaters bill Tuesday This meas
ure had been advocated by a judge Of
the supreme court and no doubt had a
silent backing from hundreds of women
throughout the state. The senators re-
port was so apt and logical that not a
senator on the floor attempted to gain
say Senator Paige's explanation. There
may be time when the whipping post
may be legalized again, but not by the
present general assembly under Senator
Paige's leadership. ".

Donovan and McGovern Have Another
Tilt
Hartford, March x16.-Two insurance
bills adopted by the senate this morn
ing were productive of another tilt be-
tween Senators Donovan, of Norwalk,

the bills provides for the creation of
reserve fund by surety companies and
the other concerns fees to be paid to
the state by insurance companies. Both
were reported fayorably by the COM

Senator Donovan said he was of the
opinion that Senator McGovern had,
Internationally perhaps, become slight

terized it as pure carelessness. The
latter replied sarcastically that he was
not responsible for Senator Donoyan's
shortcomings, and he had many.

The committee on fisheries and game
reported adversely on the bill limiting
the number of quail and partridge to

THE ABOLITION OF MIDDLE AGE.
Change Which Has Come over the

Change Which Has Come over the
Spirit of the Times.
Half century ago a man of forty
five was regarded almost elderly, and a
woman of the same age was ex-
pected to have long since cut herself
adrift from all ties binding her to her
youth and to assume the appearance
and department Of q staid. exemplary
matron. All this has changed in par
ticularly interesting way, of which the
prominent feature is a seeming con-
tradiction. If the three-year-old child
of to-day is as knowing as was the six
year-old of half century ago, and the
ten-year-old boy of to-day is in many
respects quite as much a man as was
his grandfather at eighteen, one might
naturally expect that in due graduation
the modern middle aged man should be
old beyond his years. But such is not
the case.
Midle age, so far from hurrying on

Finance BOard Receives q Petition for

At the regular weekly meeting of the
board Of finance which was held in city
hall last evening a petition was receiv-
ed from Alexander Troup asking the
board to take some action towards the
trial Of voting machines iii at least two
wards at the coming April election.
After considerable discussion it was
voted to notify the board of aldermen
of the request and let it act on ii at
Its meeting Monday evening, the UNI
Outstanding being that If the aldermen
acted favorably the finance board would
probably provide sufficient money for
the trial. There was some doubt ex-
pressed last night as to whether there
was time enough to provide the ma
chimes and get all else pertaining to
them in readiness by election day The
mayor and controller will probably
communicate with the United States
Voting Machine company of Rochester,
N. Y, to-day and find out what offer
that firm is willing to make.
