Prominent Men Who Refused to Pay Their Railroad Fare.
 President Mellen's speech at the Waterbury club the other night stir. red up more than one horsets nest, Judging from the numerous kicks it has been getting. Mellen in an off- handed manner referred to few well known citizens, who on recent occa. sion refused to pay their fare iron, Bridgeport, because they were not able to get seats. These men have the following to say about the speech:
 MT Ely, when seen in his office at New Haven, said that he had read MT Mellen's speech and did not deny that the, paragraph quoted had refer- ence to the incident mentioned. MT Ely felt the allusion slightly, but was in good humor. He dictated to the reporter the following statement:
 The utterances of 0. S. Mellen arc generally after dinners and are to be relied upon accordingly. If he would give more attention to furnishing the public with the accommodations they need and devote less time to speech making, the public would be better served. It's all nonsense anyway
 MT Atwater looked upon the mat ter differently. He would not admit that Mir Meilen had special reference to the Chamberlain-Ely- -Atwater incl dent. Said he:
 T have read President Mellen's speech and I don't think that the DOT ton referring to parties returning from visit to the elephant had par ticular reference to the incident in which Governor Chamberlain, Mr Ely and myself were concerned, more than to many other similar parties who could not obtain accommoda- tons. l think he is too good bust ness man to make any personal aI- lusions in public speech. am glad to see he has the welfare of the travelling public so much in mlnd.'
 Former Governor Chamberlain &C., cepted President Mellen's remarks with the generosity of true philoso- pher.
 Have you read President Mellen's speech, governorT' he was asked.
 ''Yes. I've read it." said he. Pretty fine speech, too"

ARMOR PLATED AUTO.
Millionaire's Novel Machine Built ts
 withstand Rnmming of Trucks.

|
 Withstand Rnmming of Trucks | J. Harvey Ladew, the millionaire leather dealer of New York, has had constructed for himself m armored automobile at a cost of S10,O00, which is the first vehicle of its kind built for private use so far as known, in any city in the world, says the New York World. A half inch plate of chilled steel protects the rear and side panels of the car from the axles up to within three feet of the hood. The sides of the seat of the chauffeur are similarly safeguarded, so that all parts of the car-that Is to say, what would be the vital parts in a warship-are proof against ramming.
 The French and German armies have what are known as war automobiles. buttressed with steel plates to resist shot and she'll Mfr. Ladew's auto car has not been built to defy bullets. but 10 turn aside the shafts or poles of trucks or wagons.
 The novel and original idea of an automobile protected by a plate of armor is Mir. Ladew's own and was suggested by an accident in which he figured. He has been noted for his care and consideration for the rights of others when automobillng. but has not always received the same consid- eration himself. and has had two or three narrow escapes from Injury by recklessiy driven trucks. The danger from collision was brought strongly to his mind last February. when he and Mrs. Ladew were nearly plunged into the East river through the gates of the Astoria ferry house In New York.
 The machine is beautiful in design and ornamentation and exactly what the owner wanted. The vehicle com plcte weighs little more than two and a half tons and Is probably the heav- lest automobile of its size In the world The steel plate in the rear and on the sides is coversd with highly polished veneer or malachite green.
 So far as outward appearance goes. the vehicle does not differ from the ordinary cab auto except in the elc- gance of it's finish. lt Is equipped with an air brake. an entirely new device. and in addition to this Is another and most ingenious scheme for the glii,l- ance of the chauffeur.

as prescribed by law are on the bull letin in the clerks office in the dis trict court:
 Bernard Kurtin, Russia, residing at 57 Bishop street.
 Patrick Christopher Quinlan, Ire- land, residing at 705 North River side street.
 Sayerio Magro, Italy, residing at 78 Maple street.
 Antonio Trunfio, Italy, residing at 22 Seymour street.
 Had these men filed their appli- cations for citizenship on or before September 27 they would be able to vote at the coming election. Under the new law their applications shall remain bulletined in the clerks of- flee for ninety days at the end of which, if they have $5 each, they can get their papers.
 Much as has been sung and writ ten about Killarney, there was one man in Waterbury who seemed to have never heard of it. To-day a man applied to Clerk hoot in the dis trict court for his naturalization pa pers, thinking he could vote at this coming election. MT Root took the mans description, as he is now bound to do, and then came the question::
 Where were you born?"
 Killarney" was the answer.
 Killarney" said MT Root, writ ing down the name on the papers. Where is Killarney?"
 Where is Killarney" said the ap- plicant in evident amazement. Sure that's the place everybody in the world goes to see every summer" was the answer.
 Well, I never heard of it before. Where is it?" said MT Root.
 Sure it's in Kerry" answered the citizen to be. Faith I thought the whole world knew where Killarney is."
 The man was given his first papers.
 Notwithstanding all that has been publis about the change that took place in the naturalization laws on September 27, that up to that date 'AAeAA P"PSAo "ouiu tcot pG put dltCl that they would cost $5 and first papers $1, scores of men call every day at the office of Clerk Root in the district court for papers and express the greatest amazement when in- formed that they cannot have their papers until after ninety days and they will cost them S5 then. Yester- day one man called and everything went along we'll until he was asked where were his witnesses to prove that he has been five years in the country. Away he went and after some time returned with his wit nesses. Then he was told his papers would cost him $5 and he could have them at the end of ninety days as prescribed by the new naturaliza- tion laws. He said he would not pay $5. He would go to New York and get them without costing him a cent. He pay $5 for papers? Guess not He knew of men who got them with out paying cent, and If he had to pay s for the right to vote, why he would not yap. He didn't get the papers and no matter where he goes he cannot get them until s5 is pad for them.
