| BOYS.
 Perhaps NeWtOwnerS are not gener-
 ally aware that one of our young men,
 Howell Wright, has won distinctions
 of several kinds at the close of his four
 years course in Yale college. Univer- sities have various ways of designating students who maintain high averages in scholarship throughout the course;
 Yale puts the names of such students on the list of Academic Appointments. s. Howell Wright's name appears among these worthies and he has been granted a graduate scholarship cover ing tuition for one year while he is pursuing courses for the Master of Arts degree. He has also been made proctor of one of the halls. This fine record becomes the more remarkable when it is known that he has been en- tirely self-supporting during the last two years of his course and Anrtially so during the first two. Besides his tu- toring and other money-earning actdv- ities be has for two years had charge of the Boys Play Room on Oak street, an evening institution designed to keep boys off the streets. This summer he has charge of boys at Hartley House Farm, Convent, N. J. The example of such fellows as James Betts and Howell Wright should be an inspira- tion to our High School boys who are thinking of college. Three other New town boys are doing good work in Yale: Herbert Parsons, Harley Peck and Ce- Gil Wright.-[R.

 Dear Sir,-I want to thank you for the specimen copies of THE BEE you have so kindly favored me with. The personal, family, industrial and busi- ness items from so many different towns, included in the field you cover, are in my opinion exceedingly inter- esting, fresh, piquant and admirably sorted and arranged. No wonder your paper is so popular and has become so necessary in every intelligent, well-or- dered household in Western Connecti- cht. It is my intention before long to prepare sundry, boyhood "reminiscences of the late Senator O. H. Platt, who was born and reared in the same town that I was, who attended the same schools and whom I knew intimately from his childhood days up to his youthful prime, when he left Wash ington for Meriden and entered upon career that became so worthy, hon. Orable and illustriOus. hope to pre- pare and write something that will be acceptable to you and gratifying to your readers.
 With high esteem I remain,
 Yours very truly,
 Stanley G. Fowler.

MIR GODDARD's WORK APPRECIATED.
 We are to-day mourning the loss of another family. Sunday, June "A, we listened to the farewell of Rev Louis A. Goddard, pastor of the Congrega- tional church for the last two years, who left us Monday morning with wife and little one for the far West, having received a call to church where he is evidently appreciated as the financial end of it is far beyond the ability of this church. He certainly goes, judg- ing by the feeling shown in his fare we'll of Sunday morning, when he preached his farewell sermon, that showed the beautiful Christian spirit of the man, so full of the motto of Lin coln's Second Inaugural with, "Chari- ty for all and malice toward none" in every word uttered, although so much of the latter has been shown to him and his, that 1t must have hit hard, to them. His work has been.well done, bringing into the church so many es- pecially of the young people and made them workers in the church, and only the very few that tried to inNre him the church and all, in final hearing proved to be false in every particular and charge made, but all this was left out on this closing day, but thought of the Saviour and text that 'Knowledge is power," for either good or evil. You rorst use if and vOu will he held ac countable to God for the use you make of it. But after the sermon that beau tiful hymn, "God be with you till we meet again. was sung and there were but few dry eyes in the congregation and it is doubtful if any pastor has gone from any church in Bedding in which 'the Godspeed and good speed was more heartfelt and real than that with which the people parted with their pastor. Again we say God bless
 and keep you and yours.-[*

If IT PASSES TT May DEFER AC-

AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.

TRENTON, Feb. Is, 19o6.-senator
james F. Minturn, Of Hudson. intro
duced joint resolution in the Senateyes-
terday which, if adopted, might defer
action on the Morris canal abandonment
other year. 1t reads as follows:
Whereas, the periodic strikes of the
miners in the Pennsylvania coal fields
reveal the fact that coal is mined and
transported to the seaboard by the rail-
road companies, and that where inde-
pendent mines exist the coal smined is
barred from shipment during strike, by
the carriers refusal to transport it, and
Whereas, The need of an independent
highway for the transportation of coal
is thus an absolute necessity for the pur-
pose as well of carrying independent OPP
orators coal as for the purpose of reduc-
ing the cost of coal to the consumers
and
Whereas, The Morris Canal seems to
afford to the people means of trans
portating Independently mined coal to the
seaboard, if the said canal can be prop
erly rehabilitated at State expense; there
fore,
Resolved, BY the Senate, the House
concurring, thar the Governor appoint a
commission of three Assemblymen and
Senators, who shall serve without COM
pensation, to examine the question of the
cost OF so constructing and rehabilitating
the Morris Canal by State aid and under
State supervision as win put the canal
in condition to serve as highway
upon which the eoal of Pennsylvania
may be transported to the seaboard under
State supervision, so that it will be at
the lowest possible cost to the people,
and that said commission be empowered
to employ the necessary clerical help and
subpoena witnesses for the investigation
and to report at the next legislative ses-
sion, and the sum of 81 900 is hereby ap-
propriated for the purpose

TRENTON, Feb. Is, 1906. Assem-
blyman Martin, the Record-Colby leader
in the House. is not going to allow At
torney- General AIcCarter to get away 50
easily with has opinion rendered Tues
day that the Martin equal tax bill was
unconstitutional He had resolution
adopted by the House yesterday calling
upon the Attorney-General to render an
opinion as to the constitutionality Of the
Duffield law of last year, providing for
the taxation of second class railroad
property at local rates.
While the Dufield, bill was being con-
sidered by the Legislature last year the
Attorney General stated privately that
the measure was clearly constitutional
Sbd was considered good law. What
Mr.. Martin now wants to know is why,
if the Attorney-G eneral regards the Duff
field act as being constitutional. he can
now decide the Martin bill to be uneon-
sstStutional Mr.. Martin says his bin was
drawn along the same lines as the duff
field act. except that it provided as an
addition the taxation of main stem rail-
road property at the local rate in each
taxing district for the use of such district.
He claims that if the Duffield bill is con-
stitutional, then the Atborney- General
made a. grave error when he decided that
the Martin bill was unconstitutional.

Especial to THE Jersey city News.')
TRENTON, Feb. Is. 1906. Abolition
of railroad passes and the consequent
payment of travelling expenses by. certain
State officials was the reason advanced
for two increase of salary bills in the
Senate yesterday, neither of which met
with approval
The first increased the salary of Cir
cult Court Judge from $500 TO $4,000,
and the other sought to increase the sal
ary of the Governors private secretary
from $4,000 to 5000 d year In behalf
Of the Circuit Judge bnleit was contend
ed that two of them travelled through
seventeen counties Of the State. which
entailed heavy expenses that were not
contemplated when the present salary Of
81 500 was fixed, because the judges at
that time received railroad passes, which
are now denied.
Senator saHorner opposed the increase
and his view was accepted by the major
ity and the bill was defeated Senator
Wakelee, who introduced the measure
sought to have the vote by which it was
lost reconsidered, but in this he was also
defeated. Senator Minch moved that the
motion be placed on the table and it was
So decided.
When the bill increasing the salary Of
the Governors private secretary was call
cd up the same arguments were advanced
as applied to Circuit Court Judges. 1t
was finally decided to lay the hill over
after an amendment to fix the sal0ry at
$500 month and travelling expenses
was defeated.
