Town Meeting Against Dou-
BILE Trolley Tracks IN
less Laid in Center
of the Street.
TROLLEY SERVICE
COMPLAINED OF
Robert O'Connell Advocates
a Branch Line From
Dixwell Ave. to
Centerville.

There was a hot time in the town
hall at Centerville last evening and all
because the layout of the proposed
double trolley car tracks from the end
of the present double tracks on Whit
ney avenue to the end of the New Ha-
ven line at Mount Carmel does not
meet the approval Of the citizens Of
Hamden.
The people expressed thorough dis
gust both with the service that has
been given them since the trolley be-
ban running the cars through to Wa
terbury and the excuse that is given
for the same. They also are mindful
of the trouble which attended the
double tracking through Whitneyville
and several who urged that the trolley
company be compelled to bear all the
expenses of the proposed double track
ing were roundly cheered. One en-
thusiast shouted amen"
The layout OF the company proposes
that the double tracks be laid in the
center of the road from the end of the
present double tracks to a point above
Centerville town hall, which is a dis
tance of two miles from the end of
the road at Mount Carmel. From this
point the tracks will be laid on tho
side of the road. The company does
not wish to continue the tracks in the
center of the road from this point be-
cause the tearing UP and replacing Of
the pavement would entail an extra
expense of $4,000 and Mr.. Hill ex-
planned that the company found diff
Guilty In raising the money.
Resolutions were passed at the meet
ing placing the men present on record
as opposed to the double tracking If
the tracks are to be laid at the side
of the road at any place, The meeting
also placed itself on record as In favor
of specifying that all the expense in
Cured be met by the trolley company
Still another resolution passed opposed
to the laying Of double tracks over the
bridge and dixie at Whitney lake In the
present condition of the bridge and
roadway. The sentiment Of the meetu
ing was unanimous.
Complaints against the way in which
the people of Cheshire and Mt Carme
were served on July and Sundays
were numerous, and strong remarks

MELLEN IS BLOCKED
Unable to Control Pittsfeld Trolley he
Retaliatcs.

Pittsfeld. July 16.-Unable to ac-
quire control of the Pittsfield street
railway system of 40 miles of track,
President Charles S. Mellen Of the
Consolidated railroad. and street rail-
ways has directed that after next
Tuesday no Pittsfeld cars shall run
over tracks Of the Berkshire company
from Cheshire to North Adams.
Five years ago Manager Dolan, who
owns controlling interest in the Pitts
field company, made an agreement
with the Hoosic Valley company to
run its cars into North Adams. That
agreement has now expired, and Presi-
dent Mellen has positively refused to
renew it.
Pittsfeld is the only place in west
ern Massachusetts, where Mr.. Mellen
has so far been blocked in his mono
poly of street railway systems. He
has offered the Pittsfeld company $500
a lhare for it's stock but Patrick H.
and Peter c. Dolan have refused time
and again to sell. The stock pays six
per cent.

Copper VIII Kill All Germs

Copper is a marvellous preventive
of disease. If we returned to the old
copper drinking vessels Of our fore
fathers typhoid epidemics would dis
appear"
The speaker, a filtration expert, took
a copper cent, from his pocket.
Examine this cent under the micro
scope" he said. "and you will find it
altogether free from disease germs.
Examine gold and silver coins and you
will find them one wriggling and con-
torting germ Yet copper coins
pass through dirtier hands than gold
and silver ones. You'd think they'd
be alive with heterogeneous. But
no. Copper kills germs. Diphtheria
and cholera cultures smeared on a
copper cent die in less than two hours.
"They have many cholera epidemics
in China, but certain towns are al
ways immune. These towns keep
their drinking water in great copper
vessels. Travellers have tried to buy
these vessels, for they are beautiful,
but the villagers will not sell them.
They have q superstition that their
health and welfare depend on their re-
tontion. ! wish all superstitions were
as true and salutary as that.

works during the last epidemic Of

they immune? The copper, with its
strange power over disease germs, pro-
tected them.

we should return to copper drink
ing vessels. Furthermore, canteens
for the use of soldiers and sailors in
the tropics, where cholera abounds,
should be lined with copper and thus

Corporation Statesmen.

Another enterprising Republican
statesman, Senator Du Pont of Della
ware, is said to be in danger Of being
indicted criminally for conspiring to
restrict trade in his connection with
the powder trust. But If all the Re-
publican United States senator's who
are connected with corporations are
prosecuted-which is not at all likely
to occur under Republican auspices
it would break a quorum of the SEN
ate. There is Guggenheimer, Aldrich-

W black sheep, and on of them

tives Of corporations and trusts where
they can do the most harm.

HELPING ALONG THE TRUSTS.
Sending Money Away from Rural Dis
tricts Assist in Making Them.

1t appears as if the trusts are in the
country to stay. The legislative ac-
ton of the government seems to
merely mean a little more regulation.
Trusts generally have their starting
point in Wall street. 1t is to Wall
street that the money earned by them
goes. Each trust industry means so
much more for the Golfers of the null
ti-millionaires. 1t is a sorry fact that
the people of the country have been
for years bamboozled by trust mana
gers, and unknowingly have been
compelled to donate toward their sup
port. That the great mail-order con-
Germs in Chicago have been backed
up by Wall street capital has just be-
come evident. Within the past few
months Wall street f~inanciers have
decided to build up even greater in
the mail-order business, and one CON
Germ has had its capital increased to
$4O,0 0 900. 1t has been toward such
a monster enterprise the people of the
west have been turning their trade
the past several years, and by SO DO
ing have kept western communities
from advancing.

LOCAL PRODUCE MARNETs.
How Agricultural Towns Can Assist In
Preventing CORNERS" in Produce.

Now and then complaint is heard OF
how the large packing houses and
handlers OF produce manipulate prices
Of eggs and poultry. These concerns
are enabled to do this through their
facilities for extensively handling
goods and preserving them in their
mammoth cold storage plants. Their
system is to buy in the lowest market
and hold the produce until the demand
is such that prices reach the top notch.
1t is evident that were the business
men of small towns to follow out to
some extent the plans of these large
houses, the home market wGIid be ma
terially improved. In the agricultural
towns merchants are the most extern
sive handlers of farmers produce.
This business is incidental to the mer-
camille business, and few merchants
have proper facilities for the storing
and proper care of perishable goods,
therefore, Immediately upon receiving
supplies from the farmer, consign-
ments are made to the commission
houses in the large cities, and thus are
the large commission men enabled to
obtain control of the markets and to
manipulate prices.
Each agricultural community pro-
duces enough poultry and eggs and
miscellaneous dairy products to sup
port a prosperous exclusive produce
house. But when the articles that the
farmers have for sale are distributed
among a dozen or more stores, each
acting Independently, it is evident that
highest market prices cannot be paid.
The plan proposed for the organiza-
ton of cooperative produce companies
in each town has many desirable
points in its favor. At small expense
a coldstorage plant of adequate capac-
ity to handle all perishable products
of the community can be put in order.
A plant of this kind, if rightly man
aged, would greatly improve the on
ditions of the local markets and higher
prices could be paid for produce than
the merchants could afford to pay for
the anne.
A number of towns in the middle
west have adopted this system, and
with success. Not alone have the
home markets been greatly improved.
but a greater volume of trade has
been brought to the merchants. Should
this plan be universally followed, in
agricultural districts, it would lessen
the opportunity for the manipulation
Of prices of produce, and the corner,
ing of the market" by the large com.
mission and packing houses.

THERE MUST BE MERIT.
Drawing the Line in the Matter CT
Patronage of Home Institutions.

While it is the duty of every home
loving and patriotic citizen to encour-
age and support home enterprise, it
should be part of the principle that the
home enterprises should be such as to
merit support. The matter of service
and Of competition are important. 1t
must be a public spirited citizen, in
deed, who will willingly pay home mer-
chants exorbitant prices for what is
needed, when the same goods can be
purchased in some nearby town at
lower prices. The local bank should
be ~patronized, if well conducted, and
those in charge of it men of integrity
and enterprise. But ofttimes there
are Illustrations CT local industries be-
ing conducted in such unbusinesslike
ways as to not win the confidence of
the people in the community. Under
such circumstances little censure can
be given those who will seek foreign
institution when they have money to
deposit.
While it may be true that the small
er towns and cities do not afford I'M
p%rincipled schemers the chance to con-
duct business, illustrations sufficient,
0 and then, present themselves to
the people to make them cautious and
perhaps prejudice them against pat
ronizing some home institutions.
Too often it is found that insurance
companies, investment concerns, banks
and mercantile establishments put
forth the plea of being home institu-
tions and thus should be ~patronized,
while in fact their methods of conduct
are such as to not win the confidence
of the people. Merit is an important
factor in the home trade matter, and
no argument can be made that will
justify the people Of a community Civ
ing support to institutions that are I'M
sound, or which are managed in a way
as to impose upon the residents of the
community.
