reason in her mind why this was not done. It seems that at the time that the draft was made, that when she reached the point of considering the Blakeman children. that she abruptly postponed any further action, and that later she repaired to MT North ropS office, who is an attorney, and gave instructions relative to the draft ing of the will. What Mrs Northrop'S reasons were for leaving the Blakemen children out of the will, is indeed a mystery; however the ownership of the Brick House Farm might have something to do with it.: but in view of the fact that the will is in all re- spects executed according to law, if the other evidence in the case shows that she was capable of making it, the fact that some one or more of her rela- tives were left out, is matter of no importance. It was and sis her will. The property disposed of by 1t was hers to do with as she saw fit."

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

A fine old gentleman was Theodore Sedgwick Gold. Educated at Yale he remained in his native town, Corn wall, and was a useful man there and in the larger confines of the state. His greatest work was as secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, and it was mistake he was removed few years ago. Since he passed out for some reason the Boards influence has fallen nearly to zero. In appearance he was a typical Uncle Sam, with a keen, active mind. MT Gold, as sec retary of the Board, kept in close touch with the newspapers of the state, and this extended the influence of the department. It was the edi. tors pleasure to have close and agree. able acquaintance with MT Gold, and we sincerely regret his death.
 - Newtown friends of that genial gen. tlemen, George Dagon, were shocked to hear of his death at Pine Plains, N. Y., after an illness with typhoid fever. As travelling supervisor for the great Bordens Condensed Milk Co.,, his work brought him often to our town, and everyone who met him was i'm. pressed with his broad mindedness and true gentlemAnly qualities. The Borden's people thought highly of him as he had grown up with the com pany and thoroughly understood the business. Possessing a magnificent physique his de0tn comes as B great surprise. It is only another instance of the uncertainty of life and of the necessity of doing our best work every day. George Dagon was of the type o1 manhood we like to meet, broad-mind' ed, courteous, and considerate, yet un' fiinching in his discharge of duty.

believes in eliminating discrimina- tions and in introducing abundant publicity and reaffirms his sympathy with President Roosevelt's purposes, but he declares that this bill would not work if it were passed. He point edly says that he does not believe that one man in 50 has read the bill itself; they judge it by the desire back of the movement-a determination to be rid of the injustices which have been borne long enough. For himself he asserts that with certain reinforce ments of existing laws he could stop what remain of the objectionable practices if the matter were left to him. He shows also certain side issues of the'law which surely cannot be de- tended by fair-minded persons. For example, it is absurd that manager should be forbidden under heavy pen
 atty from keeping other accounts than those laid down by the commission. If he keeps the accounts that they pre- scribe and is responsible for their &C., curacy, it is nobody's business how many other data he secures for his Iownlguidance. He shows that, under
 the law as it passed the House, the
 commission have it in their power to
 divert freight from his through route
 and compel him to deliver it to a rival
 line, and the commission are to have
 the power to decide how the gross re ceipts for the transportation shall be distributed. In corrupt hands this might at any time he made use of tC
 compel the company to buy up an op.
 position line. He intimates that in the not distant future the great ex 
 press trains from New York may run
 to the very centers of such cities as Hartford and New Haven over the
 present street car tracks, provided
 the municipalities permit the use of g proper kind of rail.
