HEARD IN PASSING.

? To come before the republican con- vention with his home delegation so strongly allied with his purpose to secure the nomination for the second place on the ticket will be manifes- tation of strength which cannot but be effective in winning support. For having fought hard and won Senator Lake deserves sincere congratuia- tions.-New London Day.
 It was a twosome. The player who drove off first had bandy legs. The second in driving off did not notice that his opponent had got in front Of him, and the ball ran through be- tween the opponents legs Turning round in anger the bandy legged one said: Here, nun, that's no golf!' "Weel," said the other, "if it's no golf it's croquet. "-The Scottish Ref cree. ,.- t,
 The Courant, organ of the Hart ford Bulkeley machine, acknowledges defeat and the downfall of Boss Bulke- ley, and recognizes Paige as the new boss but adds that he cannot long stay at the head of great party of moral ideas" Are we to infer that Bulkeley, than whom Paige is not a more practical politician" could have consistently remained as "the head of great party of moral ideas?" If so the party has indeed retrograded. In effect, the Courant's present position may be concisely stated by the old cry, slightly modi- fled, "The king is dead. short live the king. g."-Bridgeport Farmer.
 Murders continue to multiply in this state, and the last crime is one of the most brutal in its history. A mere youth, on account of an uncon- trollable temper, nearly severed the head from the body of his victim while in a heated argument. The weapon used was razor, and the question naturally arises whether or not being armed with such weapon the Hartford youth was not going about contemplating just such action as his victim fell prey to. In such highly civilized community as Hartford it seems improbable that any person would go prepared unless they had the disposition to take the law in their own hands on the least provocation--a very dangerous state of affairs at the best.-Middletown Press.

A Happy Couple.
Mir and Mrs Wells of Waterbury Speak Highly of Dr Richards
 Dyspepsia Tablets.

They are invaluable for men. wo- men end children. who have difficult digestion. They ward of all stem ach disorders and enable you to get from the food you eat the nourish- ment it contains. The little Laxoe comfis which accompany the tablets are mildly laxative and cure consti- patton.
 Mrs Malinda Wells of 155 Fest Farm street. Waterbury. Conn. says
 My husband and myself nave used Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets and we consider them all they are represented to be. I was completely run down.

The postoffice frauds are recalled by the fact that Diller R. and Sam uel A. Groff are about to walk out of the penltentiary at Moundsville, w. Va. free men. having served their term of two years. less time allowed for good behavior. The first two years sentence of August w. Machen. the king-bee of the postoffice grafters. also will end tomorrow. but Machen has two years more to serve on an- other count. There always has been good deal of public sympathy for the Groffs. says m exchange. it being believed they were the victims of Il vicious system rather than vicious themselves. One of the Groffs was the inventor of a contrivance for fastening letter-boxes on posts. and the two of them engaged in Its man. ufacture. The government. of course. was their only prospective customer When they went 10 sell 10 the govern ment. they found they would have to bribe Machen in order to do SO. As they could do no business without re- sorting to bribery. they bribed. and their conviction one a charge of con splracy to defraud was the result. It is not contendel that the Groffs should not have been punished. but official Washington always has be- Ileved they would have gotten off more lightly than did Maehen. who not only forced the Grofrs into the plot but who betrayed his trust and violated his oath as a government of. ficiaein doing so.

HOBNOBBING-BLASPHEMERS

The anti-profanity party in Con necticut in the person of the Honor able Moses H. Sawyer formerly United States consul at Trinidad. In a let ter to the Mystic Journal the ex-con- sul says:
 ..The Mystic Anti-Profanity league has caused the reform of many noble men and boys of Connecticut. and now has reached Fulton Market. New
 York, where if was much needed. Yet certain members of churches hobnOb with blasphemers in the clubs and elsewhere. which is hypocritical and wicked. as it indirectly assists the vi- olation of the law of church and state"
 A few weeks ago. 1t will be remem-
 bered. I Connecticut man who had revisited his native state after an ab- sence of some twenty-five years in the
 south wrote to the Hartford Times
 that he had heard more swearing in
 the few days following his return than during hi; entire stay below the Ma
 son and Dixon line. He charged that
 Connecticut men habitually break the
 third commandment not only on the
 streets but in their homes and places
 of business: a practice most reprehen-
 sibIe. It goes without saying If one
 must swear. let it he under his breath
 and i'm the midst of vast wildernesses
 To swear at home or in the shop is
 as disgusting as the splitting of to- bacco juice indiscriminately in the
 corners.
 Now ccmes the Honorable Mir Saw yer with confir1natory evidence as to the deplorable state of affairs In Con-
 necticut In Mystic. if appears. "eer- tain members of churches hObnot

FACES FINES OF
S128,560,000

Chicago. Aug 2S-As a result OF indict-
ments returned against it yesterday by
the first and second Federal grand juries
the Standard oil company stands I'm dan
ger OF having TO pay in fines the enor-
nous sum OF Sl2s, s,56o, 900. This sum must
be assessed If the maximum penalty is de-
manded on conviction. The lowest possi-
BILE fine. provided conviction is had, Will
be S6,42SO0O.
Ten indictments were returned before
Judge Bethea I'm the United States cir
cult court In the 10 true bills were 6i2S
distinct counts. each count representing
an alleged offence in the shipment OF oil.
In fact, every count Is based on tank
car shipment OF petroleum products from
the rehneries to Whiting. Ind. Peculiarly,
none of the railroads is indicted in com
mon with the big corporation. Whether
indictments will follow or not was not
made public today. but il Is expected that
the transportation companies are not TO
be let of scot free.
For each OF the offences alleged TO have
been comitted by the Standard OH com
pany, The law, according 10 the district
''N'''HN"f N"ii N'iiihllu "a penalty OF not
less than Sl0O nor more than $4,000 There
fore, the courts have IL I'm their power.
provided the GAPS counts are proved 10 be
based on fact, 10 assess the maximum fine
and mulct the corporation in the stagger-
ing sum named above
The following statement issued by the
district attorney late yesterday afternoon,
tells the whole story:
Chicago. Aug q, 1906.
ed by the Standard oil company during
the last three years. as charged in the 10
indictments this day presented In the
United States district court for the West
ern district Of Illinois by two grand ju-
ries one drawn from the district as IL
stood befor the act OF March g. 1905.
changing its boundaries, and the other
drawn from the district as il has stood
since that date.
Each OF the 642S counts in these 10 in
dictments cover a separate offence, and
is based on a tank car shipment aver
aging about Is tons OF petroleum products
per carr of refined OIL gas oil, petroleum,
lubricating oil, naththa, or fuel OIL all
from the Whiting reflneries.
These 10 indictments make practically
one Indictment charging 62S offences;
and form, without doubt, the most volu
m'nous Indictment ever presented 10 any
court The penalty fixed by the Elkins
law for each offence Of this character is
fine OF not less than $1,000 and not more
than 10000. Indictments were recently
found against the Standard OIL company
on the Eliins law at jamestown, y. Y,
containing l26 counts.
'In case OF convictions by a petit jury
the Judge before whom the case Is tried
has the fixing OF the amount OF the fine
in each case between these limits and his
judgment on this point in not open to cor
rection by any higher court
1t is expected that the attorneys for the
standard oil company will enter the APP
