BOND FOR TRoLLEYMEN.
Company May Force That Reflected a
 Year Ago.

Hartford, Aug 28--In trolley circles yesterday it was learned that the Con- solidated Railway company would, in the near future. attempt to force upon the trolley employees the old security bond which was rejected a year ago by the trolleymen and 1t was stated that should the company take such a couse the local union would vigorously oppose 1t and do all in its power to reject the bond.
 At Southington and Bridgeport the objectionable bond has already made its appearance, and the employees have been requested to immediately sign the application for the bond with an ont, side security company. The bond is objectionable to these employees and it is said that there will be a strong op- position to its introduction.

SIGNS ON THE HOUSE
CaniieId's Famous Saratoga
 Place is Now on ihe Market. .s..

Saratoga, N. r., Aug. 2s.-Signs have been posted before Richard Can fields Saratoga clubhouse and on his famous Italian garden and park sur rounding the house, announcing that the place is for sale. The news that this had occurred was the sensation of the season here. There were plenty of rumors to account for MT Can fields action, including alleged dis gruntlement against the authorities for restricting gambling.
 The Saratoga club, as Canfield's place was called, has been the show place of the village for years. The club house itself, a substantial build ing of brick and stone. of three stor- les and sloping roof. was built in 1869 by John Morrissey of New York, an ex-oongressman, gambler and prize fighter. Canfield took charge of the place sixteen years ago, and has been sole proprietor since. He has expended vast sums on the prop erty, which takes in an entire block. The grounds are the handsomest and best kept in the village.
 Because of the restrictions placed on gambling this season. Canfields has been rather dull place The club restaurant has been open throughout the summer but the big attraction. the great salon. in which the highest play ever known in Amer lea was conducted in former years. was no longer present. The gambling implements, the roulette wheels and faro layouts had been removed and only big, richly furnished lounging room remained.
 Upstairs there was diversion with cards, dice and roulette. which was as far as the restrictions of the local rule would permit the proprietor to go. But the Saratoga club was not the same as of old and without the attractions which gave the club house its fame canheld's place had a dull season.

 LONDON, Aug 2s.-The Irish evict- cd tenants bill finally passed both houses of parliament in what Chief Secretary for Ireland Birrell called an emasculated form. The peers re- fused to budge on the main amend ments. and in spite of the goads of the Nationalist members the government elected to accept the mutilated mess- ure rather than abandon the bill sn- tirely.
 The principal amendments inserted by the house of lords deprive the commissioners of the power of turning out the present holders of farms for ths purpose of reinstating evicted tenants and give landlords the right to appeal to the law courts against the rulings of the estate commissioners regarding the value of land to be purchased.

owners of vacant lots to cultivate the soil
and beautify them. 1t almost invariably
promotes the sale of the lots by making
them look attractive, and increases the
value. There is relatively more benefit to
the owners than to the public or the free
tenants, and they are glad to have their
land so proved, provided it is vacated on
demand. The association has form Of
contract by which it agreed not to inter-
fere with any disposition that tn owner
chooses to make of the property ~ any
time, and he agrees not to interfere with Its
cultivation unless it becomes necessary to
erect a building upon 1t.
This practical philanthropy has be- car
ried farther in Philadelphia than in any
other city. Plenty of poor people a. glad
to cultivate flowers and vegetables for their
own use and for sale; neighborhood clubs
easily formed to utilize crOquet grounds
and tennis courts and to pay the expense
of putting them in order provided they are
allowed to occupy them free of cost for at
least one season. The association acts as a
promoter and agent for such enterprises
1t also furnishes seed, fertilizer and wire
fencing. and will plough the ground for
those who wish to make gardens. 1t spent
about 81 600 last year in that way. This
work has been going on in Philadelphia for
twelve years. and the association now has
under its care nearly $50 acres of vacant
city lots which have been improved and
beautified or are under cultivation.

The success of the New Hampshire
state department. of agriculture in secur-
ing buyers and tenants for the aban-
doned farms of that state has been so
great that the department of agriculture
of the state of New York has undertaken
similar work. bureau of statistics and
information recently established at AL
bany has issued a bulletin containing
list and description of unoccupied farms
in different parts of the state, with
their prices and terms of sale or rentals.
The bulletin also contains list of oc-
cupied farms which are offered for sale,
and thousands of copies are being dis
tributed among real estate agents and
dealers in farm lands. Already a large
number of abandoned farms have been
sold to city people in this way for sum-
mer homes and country residences. The
intention of the bureau is to furnish re-
liable information and bring buyers and
sellers together.
This plan has proved an admirable sue

by their owners for the more productive
