IMPLYING HARTFORD

For many years one of Hartford's distinctions has been it's automobile fire engine. Perhaps the Germans have
 heard about it. Anyway, the munich pal authorities of Berlin are about to
 make a serious trial of automobile fire engines, Experiments in this direction have already been made in several oth- CT German towns. At Hanover it was found that the annual cost of main
 taining an automobile fire-engine amounted to $500, as compared with s, ,0OO required to maintain a flre-engine drawn by two horses. This difference was brought about chiefly by the dis charge of the men employed to tend the horses and by the saving of the rent hitherto paid for stables, It was found that the automobile fire-engine could leave the fire station more quickly and reach it's destination with greater speed
 than the older type. Equally favorable results have been obtained at Schone- berg and one or two other German towns. The municipal authorities in the capital have now decided to intro duce two automobile fire-engines, by way of experiment, one of which will be driven by electricity and one by

Bundu devil, and attired in her robes of office, exercises her power over spir- its, good and evil.
 A couple of years ago one of the lead- CTS of clubdom in Chicago suggested that children should not be raised in the home at all, but should be placed in a sort of asylum where they would be assured of scientific feeding, care, education and protection, trained in the domestic arts and sciences, and taught their responsibilities toward their fel- low.
 Her ideas created quite a sensation, yet she was proposing exactly the thing that the Bundu voted upon perhaps two hundred years ago and has done ever since.
 The mother who is a member of the Bundu keeps her young children at home during the time that her care is essential to their well-being. After that time they are sent away.
 If there are boys they are sent into the "Poro bush" an encampment in one of the beautiful dells in the forest. There the boys are under the charge of the ancient and wise men of the tribe, and there they are trained in hunting, fighting, dancing, singing and cooking. The Poro bush is the mans college of Sierra Leone.
 If the child is girl she is sent into the Bundu bush, a hidden and secret encampment in the forest, where the old women and strong young women, slaves or paid workers, care for them, and educate them m the domestic arts.
 No man may approach the Bundu bush except on pain of death, so the female seminary of the Bundu goes un- molested, no man daring to approach. The parents of the children must pay for the care and training and feeding of their children.
 Occasionally there is a public exhibi- ton of the girls from the Bundu bush, sort of commencement day exercise. The girls are handsome if rather bar barrie looking. The dancing costume consists of short white cotton skirts, draped with palm leaves, and from the edges of the skirt are suspended thin pieces of iron that jangle musically as the girls dance.

The Pull-Altogether.
ONLY A MAN.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier;
 Well, we'll, our city at last, by leap and a bound, has reached the front rank in the Reformatory army. It has taken advanced steps, impressive and effective, heretofore, for instance, in sending soldiers quickly to Boston in Revolutionary times; in repelling the invader upon both sides of our spacious harbor; in raising large bodies of troops to suppress rebellion in our land But that was in the past. Now a great al- truistic work is to be done by "The Associated Societies" The University appears to be sympathetic, as witness the furnishing of beautiful Hall in which to assemble. But let there be no limit in this merger of condensed wis dom. There is a vast amount of con- cealed talent in the city which should have an outlet. What better opportu nity than is now afforded? We have the G. A. R.'s-a grand and ready body of men; the D. A. R.'s-daring, ambi- tious, ready women; the c. D,'s- cash downers; the Y. P. S. c. E.'s-young reople stopping crying evils; the W, c. T. U.'s-women correctly trained, usu- ally. The vacation S, s.'s and Kinder gartens might also be gathered in. Then, indeed, would there be a mighty force at work

It Has Eleven Thousand Members and
 is in Barbaric Africa.
 The largest woman's club in the world is in Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa. It is called the "Bundu," and has 11000 members.
 Before ever woman's club was or ganized in the United States, says the Chicago Tribune, the Bunda had ob- tained entire and absolute control over the females of the tribe, established the code of morals, and was in practical control of the education of the children. It established and enforced the segre- gation of the sexes during the educa- tional period, compelled the men of the tribe to obey their rules concerning marriage and divorce, and gained al- most an equal voice in the tribal gov ernment.

 glad that he's alive. It isn't money stored in banks, there
 placed to his account, It isn't mortgages he holds of fabulous

George Wyndham made after-dinner speeches the subject of an after-dinner speech of his own before a society at Dover, England. He complimented Americans on their skill at post-pran- dial oratory, and then went on to dis cuss the possibility of boring an audi ence. He said the severest reproof for a bore which he recollected was thatad- ministered by the great Talleyrand while driving with a friend, who kept telling him stories. As they passed through the streets of a continental town, which in those days were policed by many sentries, they observed one sentry yawn at his post, and Talleyrand said to his friend, Hush, we are over- heard'

Once in awhile in this age of talk somebody says something.

Jurisdiction existing, I do not thing it is possible for Congress to pass an act to limit the judicial powers nec- essary to carry out that jurisdiction by appropriate orders or decrees. If tile Congress can take away the right of the court to issue a temporary injunc- ton for the preservation of the prop erty which is the subject matter of the controversy what is there left of the judicial power except what Congress wills, and of what use is the Federal judiciary"

Washington, Aug. 20.-Jarvis
Bowen has resigned from tie Unit
ed States consular service and no
successor has yet been appointed for
his post i'm the French West Indies.
Bowen left the service shortly af-
ter the rioting in Gaudelope which
caused him to send alarming reports
to the state department about the
dangers which threatened American
