4 PROVIDENCE EPISODE

When there Is financial trouble there are smart men who seek to profit by it. One of the ways in which they seek is by buying deposit books. They know about what the situation real- ly is, and they take advantage of it by offering to scared and hasty owners of books as much less than the books are really worth as they can get them for. Some of these smart men are now at work in Providence buying books from depositors of the Union Trust company. The receivers are doing their duty in trying to protect the depositors by saying: At our own peril and for the assurance of depositors who may be tempted to part with their claims for small consideration, we express our belief that unless the country is entering upon long period of general financial depression, and unless the in- NestHeht Tn the securities of the Nor folk and Southern Railway company should prove to be total loss, which we regard as impossible. eighty per cent, should be the smallest reasonable estimate of the ultimate distribution, and that materially larger return may be confidently expected"
 Of course the depositors who are being urged to sell their books at prices far below what they are worth will do we'll to follvv the advice ot the receivers. And it may be added that, as a rule in such cases, depositors should not accept the offers of the smart men who want to buy their books.

NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL

the last four years, 300 sophomores have been taken into the fraternities, of which number 2SO were residents of the two big Sophomore private dor mitories. PTS in the Crown street dis trict, and only 24 were taken from the campus.
 These figures all come as further arguments in favor of more campus dormitories. The pr1vate dormitory system has sprung up because of the need of it, and if, as has been suggest ed, the Grown street system may be a forerunner of the establishment at Yale of such system of private dor mitories as is at present at Harvard, where they have "a block of luxurious private houses suggestive of prosper ous metropolitan clubs with liveried attendants and operated with more than Oriental splendor," then, say we, it is high time for an official appeal from the college authorities to such Yale pocketbooks as are both generous and loyal for funds for more college Sophomore dormitories.

BNoouR ICING HUTTON.

The reindeer bestowed upon Alaska
 by the benevolent and benefcent Unfit ed States government have done so well there that there is every reason to believe that the reindeer which are now on their way from Norway to Labrador will do well there. There are three hundred of them on special steamer. A large supply of moss to feed them on the voyage was taken aboard and four Lapland families are being brought over to herd and care for them. The stock includes does, bucks and reindeer trained for travel. The reindeer will furnish milk to the inhabitants of Labrador and New foundland, who have hitherto depend ed upon canned milk. This is especially important to the children, who need the fresh, nourishing food. They win replace dogs for travelling purposes, which is a big saving, since the rein deer can feed on the native moss of

nUsKY IND HUsKINa.

The financial stringency isn't going to prevent three girls of Bartholomew county, Indiana, from having and making a Merry Christmas. Awhile ago they announced that they must have some money for Christmas and they also announced that they were going to get 1t by husking corn at so much a bushel. Furthermore, they an- |nounced that if there were three men in Bartholomew county who thought they could husk corn they (the girls) would be glad to show them that they couldn't The girls have steadily and profitably husked, but so far no men have appeared to contend with them. But appreciative men in several parts of the country have sent them letters offering marriage. The letters have not been answered. One thing at time, is the motto of the girls, and they are now engaged in husking corn for Christmas money.
 Of course these girls wont need tc go out of Bartholomew county, Indi- ana, to get married. They are husky and husking girls, just the kind for ambitious and prosperous Indiana farmers to marry. After they have had their well-earned Merry Christmas perhaps they will have time to pay ( little attention to love.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Blessed Among Mothers.
(waterbury Amerlcan.)


 Even when life has been fortunate and happy death may be kind. We be- lieve it is so with Mrs. Alphonso Taft, who died at her home in Millbury, Mass, on Sunday morning. She had lived long and well. She was blessed by nature with good health, strong mind and social disposition which enabled her to share helpfully and enioyably in the duties and pleasuras of public and semi-public life imposed by the official career of her distinguished hus- band At the same time she preserved her native simplicity and exemplified in the highest degree the wifely and |motherly virtues of love and affection that find their Attest place In the home She saw her sons grow up and attain distinction in different fields of useful ness and honor and knew that they found in her a proud sympathizer and flowing critic. Whatever the future might have in store for them that she might wish to live and see, she knew that there was assurance of higf achievement already accomplished ant that she was blessed among mothers.

 The personal relations between President Roosevelt and President Nell len of the New Haven road are once more on the pleasantest basis, it is un- derstood here. MT Mellen has been in Washington attending to matters concerning his railroad before the in- terstate commerce commission, and while here called at the White House. where he had a pleasant chat with Mir Roosevelt The relations between the two men, 1t has been declared, have not been cordial in some time, but an en- 1 tente has been established and the lcredit is laid at the door of Vice. | President Byrnes of the same road, who has been here attending the meeting of ]! the Republican national committee. MT Brynes and MT. Roosevelt are | friends of long standing. MT. Brynes lis ever welcome at the White House. l The two men were classmates in thc l Columbia law school, and have seer much of one another since those stud | ent days Mir. Byrnes is credited with lhavtng smoothed the path for both the President of the United States and the president of the New Haven railroad.

A1 ENGLISH woMAA,s RIGHT.

Woman's rights are having quite a boom in England, and especially is the right of an English woman to be a barmaid booming. MT Gladstone has announced that no drastic pro- visions will be put into the forthcom- ing licensing bill that will check, dim- finish or put an end to that particular employment of women in England. In- fiuential deputations of women have protested against the proposed closing of the occupation of tending bars as cutting off one of the existing indus trial opportunities Miss Gore Booth, the spokesman, of one deputation, de- clared that 1t would be very seri- ous and very disastrous thing to legis- late the barmaid out of existence; if the law were to rule out of occupations for women all those which involved dangers, either physical or moral there would not be many left.
 Of course. The argument is good and 1t is no marvel that it has been effective. Woman can take care oi herself, and Is doing it. If she wants to be barmaid in England she has a right to be- She would have the right to be a barmaid in this country if she wanted to. So far, though, she hasn't shown any marked or general inclination to be, and perhaps the spread of prohibition will soon be SC complete that there will be no need of barmaids or barmen here

the country, while special food has to be prepared for the dogs. Governor Bond has carefully compared New foundland moss with that of Norway, and finds the two kinds so similar that there is no danger of the reindeer go- ing without proper food. It is hoped to increase the herd greatly by breeding the imported reindeer with the native caribou of Labrador.
 By and by when the animals and vegetation of the world are properly distributed the world will be an even more encouraging place than 1t is now.

NOT REALLY OBLIGED TO.

Awhile ago the Massachusetts pa pers were telling a story about an hon. est railroad conductor in their State who couldn't be induced to accept con- gratulations that his train was on time, He explained that it was yesterdays train and was just day late. The Massachusetts papers and those whom they represent in their complaints about poor train service will not be greatly cheered by the decision of the New York Supreme court that rail- road company, the lateness of whose trains prevented a musician from meeting an engagement and caused him loss, is not liable, even though the traveller may have been. told that the train would arrive on time. The court decides that the carriers obliga- ton to run it's train Tn conformity to schedule is not an absolute and un- conditional one, and the mere taking of ticket does not of itself prove a contract or impose the duty to have a train ready to start as scheduled. Fur thermore, ticket agent cannot make a special contract that train will ar rive on time. ,4as
 l Considering the way some of the railroads run their trains perhaps fl
 will be just as we'll to have 1t under. stood that they are not under lega
 obligation to do what everybody
 knows they don't can't and wont do.

lngs of the city should not be utilized in every conceivable way calculated to elevate the neighborhoods in which they stand.
 As to the most practical way of in troducing this policy there may be room for disagreement, though that way should be welcomed by the Board of Education which promises to break the ice. Possibly the school principals who necessarily come into contact with the people of their districts can dis cover a way of organizing them and encouraging them to petition for the use of the particular school near them. Once let them know that New Haven has entered upon a new policy in this connection and the idea will grow of itself into constantly increasing use- fulnesss It then might be possible for the civic societies to undertake the task of providing lecturers and enter tainments. We shall hope to learn that the Board of Education thinks well of the proposal and that some public spirited body has undertaken to make the start. The general registrars might petition at once for the use of the school buildings at the next presiden- tial election. That would give the movement the practical character 1t needs and would at the same time give plenty of time to thresh the sub ject out after the good old-fashioned New Haven way. !

ola Mothers.

I love old mothers-mothers with white
 hair, And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly
 sweet With murmured blessings over sleep
 ing babes There is something in their quiet
 grace That speaks the calm of Sabbath after
 moons, A knowledge in their deep. unfaltering
 eyes That far outreaches all philosophy. Time, with caressing touch, about them
 weaves The silver threaded fairy shawl of age, While all the echoes of forgotten songs Seem joined to lend sweetness to their
 speech. Old mothers!--as they pass with slow
 timed step, Their trembling hands cling gently to
 youths strength; Sweet mothers!--as they pass, one sees
 again Old gafden-w walks, old roses. and old
 loves --Cherles S. Ross In the Century.
