A REGULAR NUISANCE.

At the top of that long and length ening list of the 'too-previous ones the fellow who Is bound to beat you to it. with the news of the day Is about the hardest to tolerate" observed the man with the pestered look.
 There's one of 'em at our boarding house.
 Nope, I won't go as far as to say that all of the rest of us who have to sit at the same table with him nourish the secret and furtive hope that he'll sooner or later be hit on the wish bone by a. seeing Washington wagon. A lit- tie attack of laryngitis, or tonsilttis, or any old kind of bronchial trouble that lud force him to stow his vocal organs for few months 'ud help some and give up respite that we're badly in need of.
 "The rest of Us at that boarding house don't give ourselves any sort of a chance to take a peek at the morn ing paper before breakfast. We just recline in the warm, comfortable hay until the very last possible moment generally till about fifteen minutes af- ter the first call for breakfast bell has tinkled at the foot of tho boarding house stairs.
 "Then we hop out of bed, murmuring grouchily at our hard fate that com pels us to work for livelihood, scram- ble into our clothes, and just make the Iboarding-house breakfast table in time to bolt what is set before us and then nail the last possible car that'll get us to the office on time.
 But the beat you to it chap has a different system.
 He subscribes for the morning pa per, and it is left at the front door of the boarding-house for him at about half-past six in the morning. He wakes up promptly every morning al seven, and then he puts on a pressing gown over his night robe and sinks down the front stairs and grabs his morning paper from the steps. Then he returns to bed after having pulled up the shades, and lets the news o1 the world dream into his system from then on till it's time for him to get up. He has about an hour and a quarter wherein to allow the news to percolate

DIR. SMITHS ANSWER.

Expresses Indignation at ex-District
 Attorney Osborne's Statements.
 In answer to the statements made by former Assistant District Attorney James N. Osborne of New York, which appear elsewhere in this paper, the fol- lowing letter was sent to Mr. Osborne by Dr. Newman smyth of this city:
 New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 5, 1905, James W. Osborne, Esq,
 New York City:
 Dear Sir:-Pernit me as the pastor oi Mrs. A. M. Hitler of this city to ex- press my absolute amazement and in dignation at the summary of criminal case now under investigation in this city purporting to have been given by you to the morning papers, and par- ticularly your assertion concerning MT Hiller. A lawyer of the most clement ary knowledge of criminal practice ought to know enough to keep still when a grave case is in the preliminary stages of investigation. Your offense against the ordinary course of justice is only aggravated by the fact that you have outstepped entirely the bor- ders of your own state, and rendered the sober administration of the law more difficult in another community.
 Yours very truly,
 Newman Snyth.

service in its behalf should be strongly presented and enforced.
 Continuing the report says; To wards this solution everyone can con- tribute something. Official action may accomplish much, but individual action will accomplish vastly more. Discus sion of foundation principles may help, but the obviously urgent and crying need in the relations of employer and employe is the substitution for mutual suspicion, of much confidence; for re- gard only for ones own interest, of re- gard also in due measure for the in- terest of the other party; and a hearty practical recognition of that underlying unity of interest which in fact exists among all who, in whatever capacity are in the service of the public.
 The concentration of great power in the hands of the men who control modern industrial enterprises is a con- spicuous feature of the life of to-day. Over against this is the force yielded by the leaders of the workingmep's or ganizations. When used progressively, or even inconsiderately, either of these forces may be the cause of grave and serious injury to individual and public welfare.
 The body of legislation which suf- feed for the need of the society be- fore the large development of these forces is not adapted to their regula- tion, nor adequate to their control, and just how to repair and strengthen it for this new work is not at once apparent. It may be that law alone will never be equal to the work of so controlling the operation of these forces as to keep them always in beneficent channels. But to approximate as closely as pos sible to such control is one of the tasks of the civilization of to-day. And whenever by any agency or method a step forward is made in the accom- plishment of this task, something os done towards the solution of the labor problem, and the settlement of the la Dor question:"

srArB ATTORNEY INTERVIEWED

STATE ATTORNEY INTERVIEWED
 No further conferences with State Attorney Williams were held after the : noon interview.
 The first meeting was held at the state attorneys office about 9:3O o'clock. In the room besides those named al- ready, were Captain Cowles of the de- tactiye bureau and Assistant State At torney Wheeler. The conference lasted until 10 o'clock, when MT. Williams had to take up the Bachman trial in the superior court.
 After the meeting Coroner Mix was asked what the purpose of the meeting was. He did not answer the question, but hustled for the street. He was fol- lowed and pressed as to whether it had any connection with the Hitler case. TO this he replied: ''We were in there on another matter entirely"
 Another query as to the probability of bench warrant being issued, and whether he had asked for one at this meeting met with the answer from MT. Mix that he must be excused.
 Deputy Coroner Pond was asked, ''Was this conference In connection with the Edwards death?" That is all that is on our minds now." said MT Pond.
 At 12 o'clock the Bachman trial in the superior court was adjourned until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and at that time Coroner Mix, Deputy Coroner Pond and State Attorney Williams went in consultation again at the of flee of the latter.
 They were in conference until just o'clock, When they came out MT. Will Hams was the point of attack but to nearly all questions put to him or the matter of the issuance of a bench war; rant he replied nothing, except that the day was nice one. Finally he made the statement that he had not consid- cred the matter yet.
