II. T. Newcomb, of the District OF
Columbia bar, has compiled statistics
showing that STATS depositors in
savings banks Of six Eastern States
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442, 354 ,OS6 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance COM
panies doing business in MaSsachu-
sets hold SS45, SS9,03S OF steam rail-
road stocks and bonds, and IA educa-
tional institutions depend on $47,46S,-
327 invested in similar securities for q
portion Of their income. Other fidu-
ciary institutions own enough railroad
securities to bring such holdings up to
more than billion and half dollars,
about one-sixth of the entire capital
: invested in railroad property. These
investments represent the savings of
the masses, there being twenty million
holders Of life insurance policies in the
country, as many more of fire insur-
ance policies, and an even greater
number of depositors in banking and
trust institutions, where investments
are largely in railroad securities.

"Put the Hellum ABORT"

It adds to the impressiveness of a
pulpit discourse to dwell at some
length on certain points, but this some
times has been overdone.
An earnest preacher who, in warn
ing sinners against the rocks of ruin,
had brought up the favorite illustration
of a ship in imminent danger of going
to pieces on reef, was prolonging the
horror Of the scene, demanding what
must be done, etc., when he was inter-
rupted by an impatient sailor among
his listeners with:
"Put the hellum aport, you lubber,
and luff!

IIulalng me convemLIUn. Logically the candidate to be selected should be talk en from Windham county, the rotation system having prevailed in that district for a long series Of years. At the pres ent time the candidates in the public eye are Attorney-General William A. King of Willimantic, County Health Officer Edwin W. Higgins of Norwich and Randolph H. Chandler of ThOmp- son. There are two or three aspirants under the head of scattering" AttOr- ney-General King is the most amply qualified man that has been mentioned for the successorship to Senator Bran degee and Charles 4. Russell. In order to secure the nomination it will be ne- cessary for him to divide New London county, winning large delegation from that section of the district. County Health Officer Higgins of Nor wich is member of the state central committee and has been hustler in To- cal politics. He is working for the nomination with might and main, but the full extent of his forces in the coun- ty can not be outlined at present There is certainly an important opposi- ton in New London county to his self seeking that may crystalize decidedly by the time the convention is held. MT. Chandler of Thompson, is a man of superior ability and has held public attention for the past twenty-five years. He has served in the house and senate and was a member of the con- stitutional convention, He is in every way suited for congressional life. MT. Chandler will of course have support in New London county, enough perhaps to give him the balance of power in the convention. Should he not be able to win the nomination personally, he will be able by popular management to transfer it to Attorney General King. That would be eninently satisfactory.
 William Mills Maltby, son of ex-sen- ator T. M.

RAILROADS CUT PLAN.
Changes Proposed by Measure Submit

Changes Proposed by Measure Submit
 ,srse ted to Gut Commission. .
 The city's cut commission has reach ed no conclusion regarding the plan submitted by the railroad company for improving the cut, although it can be said in a general way the plan is sat isfactory, with the exception of the pro posed increase in grades out beyond Grand avenue and the elimination of Union street from Fair street to- Court street. "A
 The plans provide for pushing the tracks to the east about seventy Hive feet,and in this respect conform to the plans drawn by City Engineer Kelly several months ago. 4.
 At Chapel street the tracks would oc- cupy the space now occupied by, the Masonic temple.
 There would be six tracks, two of which would be for the Northampton division. 4... .....t4s
 The tracks would come within forty feet of Artizan street at Court street.
 It is proposed to have a grade of S.7 at Fair street, the same at wooster street and per cent. grade on both sides of Chapel street. At Court street there would be a 4 per cent. and at Grand avenue per cent. ..-
 The road proposes to lower the Olive street bridge slightly raise the Bradley street bridge one foot, the Hamilton and Wallace street bridges two feet and the East street bridge three feet
 The plans contemplate the straight ening out of curves between Olive street and Mill river. <
 The road does not provide for the construction of a new street to take the place of Union street. F
 The commission will : hold another conference with President Mellen some time this week and will probably ther make known to him its objections to the roads plans. -,

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theatre.

The Delony Martin moving pictures offered this afternoon and evening at the Hyperion theater as a special La- bor day attraction is one of the best entertainments of its kind before the public at the present time, using the most revised and improved machine. The pictures are of the highest order, and do not only amuse, but entertain and educate, from the fact that some of the most historical incidents of the recent Japanese Russian war are de- picted in such life-Iike and realistic manner that one could almost imagine himself upon the battlegrounds of the places that have so recently become historical. As a special inducement the management of the Hyperion has made the prices such as are in the reach of all, being 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults to all parts of the house of this beautiful theater.

New Haven Theater.

The new offering at the New Haven theater tonight and Tuesday and Tuesday and Wednesday nights will be Fred E. Wright's latest musical farrell cal comedy, "The Beauty Doctor" The idea of the author is genial satire on the beauty doctor ia dand its evo- lution is of such a comedy nature as would probably make Professor Caissa- rato, the original expert, scream in French, for the opportunities afforded by the theme have not been overlook ed by the authors and the result is a performance full of kaleidoscopic fun, and set in musical environment of no mean quality. ~.
 The plot of "The Beauty Doctor" re- wolves around a feminine expert in the art of changing faces, and the love eseapades of a prima donna, who is sought by two old men. On the scene comes Solomon Cohe, g Jew hypotist, who forms a partnership with the beau ty specialist and adds the occult to the realism in. the molding of new faces, by changing the minds of lovers and mixing up things generally, which is most effectually done to the accompani- ment of much laughter from the audi ence. At the finale, of course, matters are strengthened out and each one gets his or her deserts. . -...s
 During the progress of this plot mu- sic and dancing run riot; special num- bers of magnitude with electrical ef- fleets are in evidence; these effects and the ingenuity shown in stage contriv-.. ances being quite out of the ordinary and most effective.
 There will be a holiday matinee to- day and the regular matinee Wednes- day. <, .ts~.s .s st.l >

7TH REGIMENT HISTORY.
Volume Has Been Prepared by , . Stephen Walkley

Volume Has Been Prepared by
 Stephen Walkley
 stephen Walkley of southington who was last year appointed historian of the Seventh regiment, c. VI, has conn pleted his work and the volume is now ready for circulation. The volume con- tains complete story of the regiment from muster-in to muster-out, accounts of all the principal battles, sketches of camp life, Illustrations maps of the battlefields, extracts from official rec ords, a complete roll of the regiment, a table of casualties, arranged by both battles and companies, an index of the regiment, and the address of the pres- ident of the association at the unveiling of the monument in New Haven in June. In his circular announcing the book, MT. Walkley says:
 Remembering that out of nearly 2,- 900 men, only few more than 200 re- main on earth, 1t is more for those who come after us than for us. The at tempt has been to give it a popular style, avoid technical terms and phrases so far as possible, and to define or eX- plain those which must be used, thus enabling our grandchildren to under stand clearly what we suffered, not only on the march and in the field. but | in camp and bivouac- from fleas and homesickness as well as from wounds and prison. In view of the fact that so much has been omitted, a word of per- sonal explanation may be excused.
 After waiting long years for a Wor- thier, pen, the writer has been induced to undertake the work although he has passed the age of threescore and ten, and though the exacting cares of busi- ness fully occupy his time by day The tonly time he could call his own was obtained by rising at five o'clock each morning and working two hours be- | fore breakfast Under these circum- stances, two or three years ought to 1 have been taken for research, but life is short, time is uncertain and So the work has been rushed through in less i than a year.
 "The services of the regiment, as well as the charter of the two first com I5HldtluSFSy GSl1SIetl5 5IGIIy StIll 1ldM1bSJ I.entitle it to honorable mention; two operations in which it took part, name lily the capture of Fort Pulaski and de- molition of Fort Sumter, are of national interest and have never before been so fully described outside official recolds. For these reasons the writer
 believes that though the comrades will mourn that so much has been left out, others will rejoice that 50 much has
 been put in
