Bridgeport Physician Denounces Cour-
 tesies to Russian Ambassador.

tesies to Russian Ambassador.
 Bridgeport, June 15.-Dr. L. smirnow, a prominent physician, has written letter to the Standard protesting against the decoration of the city to greet Baron Rosen, the Russian ambas- sador, on the ground that he Is the rep resentative of the czar and despotism. In the course of long letter Dr. Snir- now says:
 ''The citizens of Bridgepore are treat ed to very strange and abnormal spec tacle-that of flag of barbaric and semi-civilized country being displayed in the street of free city, that of representative of one of the most auto cratic and savage governments on the face of the globe being feted and fawn- ed upon by free-born American citi- zens! Perhaps this ignoble act of toadyism and cringing before hollow title were best treated by being com pletely ignored and looked upon with silent contempt, were it not that our silence might give wrong impression of general assent and a unanimous ap- proval
 "The intellectual class is keynote to the standing of people. Where is the intellectual class in Russia? One half of it is serving life sentences in the Siberian mines, the other half is exiled to foreign lands. Any man or woman in Russia who may be found with a book, leaf1et or letter containing the words Freedom Liberty Progress, is arrested and sentenced to from one to ten years imprisonment. For a sec ond offense they are sent to Siberia. All the professional men, doctors, law yers bankers, are under strict police surveillance, all the students are sus- poets for foregone conclusion. Gan we so readily forget how the de- mand by the people for liberty was met in Russia? Can we forget Red Sunday? Can we forget the accounts of the pain ful struggles of the Russian people against their tyrants?
 "Citizens of Bridgeport, refuse to honor the man who is the representa- tive of the worst barbarism of the pres ent dayl Haul down the Russian flag and show them that here we have free dom-freedom of the press, of speech and of political action! Show them that here in our free and liberal coun- try, here where we fought for our lib erty and obtained it, here where we govern ourselves, there is no sympathy with barbarian, there is no sympathy with tyrants and oppressors! It may be we'll enough for France, but not for free born America"

that the big beast is apt to 60 wrong

fact. I have never but once seen a
freak of this kind. Then the result
was directly due to the intolerapie
abuse of fiat headed grooms. 1t seems

without any good reason for IT we
would show temper and tear up things
too The only difference Is the ele-
phant has more patience. He is docile,
obedient and long suffering. When
an elephant gets little out Of sorts
there is always some lightweight at
tendant, 1t seems, to fly of and say he
is 'daffy.' Ninety-nine times out OF q
hundred the poor elephant has been
badly treated. and, as he cannot talk,
he does about the only thing he can do
and trumpets his disgust or possibly
goes step further and eases his feel
inss by taking crack with his trunk
at something within reach. elephants
are as kind hearted and tender as wo-

A Fire In Rome.

A lawyer who visited Rome tells
how the fire department grappled with
blaze in the Eternal City. He says:
"The fire was in what we would call
u grocery store. 1t seemed a long
time before the fire department re-
sponded, but after awhile l saw q
hose wagon dash around the corner.
with n number of firemen standing on
the running boards on each side. The
wagon stopped ut hydrant. and each
fireman jumped from the wagon with
a little roll Of hose. The first man
coupled his to the hydrant, and then
each man coupled his section to the
preceding section. Finally they had
water on the fire, and after another
long period a man with plumed hat
drove up in a victoria. He was the
chief. The captain Of the company
and the chief saluted with much cere-
mony. then shook hands and then held
a long and dignitied conversation.
Finally, suppose, the captain told the
chief the grocery was on fire, and the
chief acknowledged it was and COM
plimented him on his perspicuity. Oh,
yes, they finally put the fire out, and
