END OF EQUITABLE.

Alleged Threat of Hyde Faction te
 Wind Up Company.
 NEW YORK. March S.-The World says that at conference of the Alex. ander and Hyde factions in the Equitu ble Life Assurance society war the as founding threat was made by one of the Hyde party that rather than sur. render control of the society the af. fairs of the Equitable would be wound up, so that the huge assets of the COT. poration could be distributed among the stockholders.
 The method proposed was as follows.
 To provide for the reinsurance of the G00,Om policy holders of the Equitable in other companies. notably the New York Life and the Mutual Life, on an arrangement that would transfer to the companies taking the reinsurance sums from the assets of the Equitable sufficient to profit them in taking such a tremendous amount of business in one lump, and much of it old business that is soon to mature.
 The legality of such movement, it is asserted. could not be successfully attacked. there being several prece- dents in existence where life insurance companies have gone out of business by transferring to other companies all of their outstanding policies, together with proportion of the premium mon- ey paid in on each.
 The policy holders all being disposed of and without any right to claim any interest in the Equitable, it is claimed that it would then be eminently proper to wind up it's affairs by distributing its assets pro rata among the surviving Owners--the stockholders.
 Were such plan carried out the S1OO.OOO capital stock of the society would have at the least a value equiv alent to the surplus of $S1,000.0O0 This would make each one of the thou sand shares worth $S1,OOO.
 It would make the 51O shares of the Hyde estate worth $41 1,310OOO. or more than eight times the amount offered young Mir. Hyde for his controlling in- terest by the Harriman.Frick syndi- cate.
 The holdings of the Hyde family are now. however. greatly in excess of 5lO shares. Since the fight began young Mir Hyde. on the advice of his law yers. has bought every share of Equi- able stock that could be bought. Enor- nous prices have been paid for some of the shares.

BETTER WATER RATES.
Expected to Bs the 0vtcens efYss.
 terdayrs lleetini.

The committee from the Real Estate Dealers association had better luck with the board of public works than some of them looked for. The union meeting took place yesterday after noon and although the board didn't have quorum, the mayor and Con- missiOners Jackson and Wade heard the committee on the water question and there did not appear to be any appreciable difference in the view they took of the matter. The committee consisted of Louis Raffel, John Mori- arty, Harry W. Minor and D. w. Moor ing. They stated their case. very clearly, which was. in brief. that they want revision of the water rates which will make the price alike to all consumers for the same service. They have no objection to meters. provided the rate question is properly adjusted, Commissioner Wade admitted that an inequality exists and said he was anX- ious to see the thing righted, and he knew that previous boards were aware that a revision was needed, but the trouble seemed to be how to change the present system and make an i'm provement. All the members of the committee and Mayor Elton. the two commissioners. City Engineer Cairns and Superintendent Johnson of the water works had something to say on the question. and when they got through things looked bright for re- vision of the rates which will give the small consumer water at the same price those who use large quantities pay. During the talk it developed that q family gets as much water through a meter at Hartford for cent and SiX-tenths as costs him three cents in Waterbury. While nothing definite was agreed to the parties went their several ways with the understandin: that they will meet again.

THE WATER co.
Paving the Way for Passais of the
 Bill at Hartford.

The public appears to have lost sight of the application of the Nauga- tuck Valley Water Co, but the men be
 hind the measure are not idle and are said to have already paved the way for the passage of the bill at Hartford. But it is understood that it will come up before the board of aldermen be- fore it goes to the legislative commit tee, and if this be so the hearing hero should be public one. Most people | are dazed by some of the projects now under way, but this is not at all .neces- sary. No matter what happens people should not get rattled, and besides it is not wise to look at things from the standpoint of the pessimist. The town is not going to the dogs" as some put it. and it is doubtful if anybody in- tends doing anything that would be detrimental to public interests. It is a time when every good citizen should be OutspOken and say what he thinks about all these projects and not be too fearful that he may run counter with his neighbors and get into trouble. Things have not reached the point where people have reason to fear re- taliatiOn from any source on account of an honest expression of opinion on public questions, and those who feel that way are needlessly alarmed. If you don't want to see the city spend half million dollars. more or less. probably more, nobody will find fault with you for saying so, and on the other hand if it strikes you as good thing to do. there is no reason in the world why you should be afraid to go on record to that effect. In any case. don't be deterred from taking hand in the discussion because you have q nQtiOn that men will crowd you if you dare to speak one way or the other. There is nothing to fear in that direc- ton and so long as there is not, it is folly for Ills to borrow trouble. PeO- pie who don't approve of this project may have to help pay for it. and those who think the Naugatuck river should not be turned over to q private corpora ton may not be able to prevent it; but even so they will live and be happy. something they could not do if they were deprived of the right to protest and do so in open meeting without feai or favor of any man.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Some Hints That Will Prove Valu. able in Growing Next
 Years Crop.

It is advisable to plant as early in the spring as possible. for early set plants will grow off better and the loss of plants will be little or none. As soon as the ground is sufficiently dry in the spring, therefore, would prepare it. Be sure to work 1t until it is thoroughly pulver- ized and then pack the surface all you can with roller or drag. have better results from planting on firm soil than on that which is very loose. also find, says . correspondent of the Prairie Farmer, that the later in the spring the plants are set the better condition the ground. should De in and the firmer the surface should be.
 After the ground is thus prepared we mark it off both ways. The rows the wide way should be four feet apart and the distance the narrow way dependsOn the variety grown. If it is rank. growing variety two to two and one- half feet will be close enough. If shy plant-maker IS to "A inches is the proper distance The best marker we have ever used, and we have tried several, is made by bolting pair of straight shafts to . piece of timber two by four inches and 12 feet long; brace 1t we'll. We bore holes i'd the piece every four, two and one-half feet. These holes are made slightly slanting. In every four-foot hole we bolt square iron rod about three feet long. sharpened at the lower end. When the horse Is hitched to the shafts you have device something like rake. only the teeth slant back so as not to catch on Instructions but slip over them. You are then ready to lay off your ground the wide way. By letting one tooth run in the last mark each time your rows will all be the same width. One boy and man can operate this and mark many acres in day.
 When ready to cross and mark the nar- row way, put in extra teeth the distance apart that you wish the rows. A mark thus made is not plotted out by the rain. but will show plainly even after hard rain. a ed.
 always use a spade for planting. . man and boy working together. The man uses the spade and carries the basket of plants on his left arm and faces the way the row runs. With his right foot he forces the spade into the ground. pushing the handle forward. which leaves an opening behind the spade. The boy on the left of the row places the plant in the opening. down to the bud, holding it thus while the spade is removed. and the man presses the soil firmly to the plant with his left foot.
