NOTES.

The committee on capitol furniture
and grounds, which had its third and
last hearing wednesday on the report
of the commission on repairs of the
capitol and procuring new site for a
building for state officials, had an ex-
ecutive session after the hea4 ing and
decided in favor of fireproofilng the
capitol. The members of the commits
sion present at the final hearing were
Hon. H. Wales Lines, of Meriden, w.
o. Burr, of the Hartford Times, and L.
W. Robinson, of New Haven. United
States Senator Morgan G. Bulkelev and
ex-senator Charles C. Cook, of West
Hartford, were not able to attend the
session of the committee. Ex-senator
Lines, of Meriden, has been the stroke
oar on the commission, his knowledge
of the structural condition of the capi-
toll placing him in the front rank. The
state will owe Senator Lines a lasting
debt for the time and consideration
which he has given to the commission
work during the past year. He has
been in favor of procuring also ali ex-
tensive land holding by the state at
the corner of Capitol avenue and Ia
fayette street for the new building that
Will be required for state officials, and
advocated that idea at Wednesdays
hearing. William Augur, of the Hart
ford board of street commissioners, who
was a candidate for the mayoralty
nomination twelve months ago, is the
owner of most of the property needed
by the state. He is a public spirited
citizen and will dispose of his holdings
on Capitol avenue at an advantage to
the commonwealth. Mr.. Augur was
one of the foremost advocates of the
/ purchase Of the roundhouse site for
state purposes. In possession of that
tract and the Capitol avenue property
the state will be forehanded for fifty
years, at the least calculation. Ex-
Senator Lines forecast of the situation
and Mr.. Burr's intelligent cooperation
with him have beenfof inestimable yal-

The joke is on DR.. osler. His critics
have driven him to an explanation. and
his explanation does not explain. His
age limits do not limit. The record ev-
erywhere refutes his assertions. Intel

the hill at forty, nor are they at the
bottom, fit to be turned in, at sixty.

DRY is upset =.
Beginning here at home, Franklin's
powers showed their greatest brillian-
.cy late iii life, and he continued to
grow to the very end. Hawthorne's ex-
quisite genius made its greatest mani
festations after he was forty, and at
sixty he left an unfinished work which
showed touches of much beauty. Webs
ter's later orations were rnarvels of ex-
preston. while Lincoln's two inaugural
addresses and the Gettysburg address
proceeded from a man DR.. 0sler would
have consigned to the scrap heap.
Turning to England, and taking re-
cent instances, look at Gladstone and
Disraeli and Palmerston. What would
that country's loss have been If they
had been retired at forty and chloro-
formed at sixty. Look at Tennyson.

members. i5>r -
Representative Marsh, of Waterbury,
was of the opinion that this bill aimed
to eliminate the principal objection to
the use of country roads by AUTOMOBILE
lists.
On motion of Representative Fosdick,
of Lyme, a committee of five members
was appointed to draft bill that will
incorporate the sentiment Of the or
ganization as to the use of motor vehi-
cles. 49,, % ....

buoyancy. an elasticity about the mid
die age of -O-day at which OUR fathers
would have shaken their heads as una
seemly. The gulf which once
separated the middle aged parent from
his children has been filled up. The
curtain which shrouded the middle
aged man generally from the eyes of
youth, and which caused him to be re-
garded with respect, if not with awe,
has been lifted, and in obedience to
the same influences which have made
the schoolmaster the friend of the
SOCIOLOGY and the regimental officer al
most the comrade of his men, the mid
die aged man of to-day is never so
happy as when working or playing
upon an equality with, and actually
in competition with, youth.
As with men, SO it is with woman.
Social statisticians tell US that the age
at which women are considered most
eligible for marriage has been very
notably advanced of late years, and We
know that the lament of many a
matchmaking mamma is that the most
dreaded rivals of her darling are not to
be found so much among the girls of
her own age as among. women who not
many years ago would have been re-
legated. to the ranks of hopeless old
maidenhood. The fact that the middle
aged woman of to-day is much younger
in manner and tastes is, of course, not
the only reason for this, but it is
among the most potent.-The Spectator

HEARING DE NOMINATION OF
JUDGES. ~.

Hartford, March 1.-THE Judiciary
committee of the general assembly held
hearings to-day on several bills, among
them that of Representative Averill, of
Branford, providing for the nomination
of judges of local courts in places Of
less than $4,000 inhabitants by popular
vote. A number of members of the
Farmers association also appeared for
the measure. Questions asked of Mr.
Averill developed the fact that the
measure was drafted especially to I'M
ravel a tangle over the town judgeship
in Branford. Half dozen resolutions
favoring as many candidates for the
judgeship have been presented to the
judiciary committee. Senator Judson
was of the opinion that the nomination
Of judges as proposed would make the
office entirely political, and he called
attention to the trouble that might
arise should democratic candidate be
chosen by a majority of one vote when
there was a republican Legislature.
Some of the Farmers association men,
bers who had supported the bill agreed
with Senator Judson's view of the mat
ter.

Some 81 the Most Important Tresties !
In Modern History.

Some Of the Most Important Treaties
I'm Modern History.
III Russians and Japanese really ne

treaty OF Washington" Among the
most important Of the worlds treaties
are the following: The treaty OF West
phalia, 1G4S, which ended the Thirty
Years war. The peace OF the Pyrenees.
1859. definitely marked the fall of
Spain from its position as the leader OF
Europe. A historian says: when Spain
signed with France the peace OF the
Pyrenees she signed away with Il the
last remnant OF the supremacy she had
exercised In Europe. France, the vic
tor, took the place OF Spain i'm the coun-
ellis OF the continent" BY the peace of
Augsburg. 1885, religious freedom was
assured 10 Germany and the wars be-
tween Professionals and Catholics came
to an end. The treaty OF Utrecht In
1113 terminated the war of the Spanish
succession.
A number OF the most important trea-
ties in modern history are known "a
the treaties OF Paris. They are six in
number and bear the dates Of IT63.
1873, 1914, 1916. 1856 and 1903 The
first of the series marked the end of tho
Seven Years war. Among other things

Britain OF Canada and the regien east
OF the Mississippi river. The treaty Of
Paris, Sept. 3, 1883, between Great
Britain and the United States marked
the close OF the American Revolution

colonies. The aggressions Of France
under Napoleon found their conclusion
In the treaties OF Paris OF 1914 and
1915, by the second OF which France
was compelled to pay an indemnity TO
the allies amounting in all to near
$500, 100000
In 1856 a treaty OF Paris was con-
Guided among the powers at the close
or the Crimean war. 1t provided that
the Black sea should be neutrallzed and
that It should be thrown open to the
merchant marine Of every nation. The
treaty OF Paris OF Dec. 10. 1898, termi-
mated the Spanish-American war. Spain
reiinquished its sovereignty in Cuba
and ceded Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippines to the United States. For
the Philippines it received $4,000, 600.
Other important treaties were that OF
