Barber No 2765, the we'll known
German Coach Stallion, will make
the season of 1907 at $4,000 twenty
dollars to insure a colt to stand up
AID suck, money due when the fact
is ascertained or the mare transferr-
ed. Barber will be found at Hartford
Fair ground on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, Centertown,
KY, on THURSDAY, Friday and Satur-
day.
AS a coach horse, Barber has no
superior in the State, and we think
this is the horse the farmers need, as
it becomes necessary for them to
patronize a large breeder and raise
large stock, for this is what the mar
ket demands, and if you have some
thing that suits the market, you
have no trouble in selling it. Barber
served 73 mares last season and must
make 100 this season.
AS to BARRIERS natural style, size,
action, color, individuality and his
extra gentle and sensible qualities,
which he transmits to his offspring,
and his far superior breeding quail
ties, proof of which is established by
him, being thoroughbred in every re-
spect, we feel safe in saying to one
and all that, all things considered,
! we regard him by far the best stall
lion in the State for all classes of
mares.
Barber is a red bay, years old, ex-
ira fine set of black legs and splen-
did feet, over 16 hands high, weighs
in medium flesh 1850 pounds, has
good disposition as a family horse and
is as sound as a silver dollar. We,
will gladly do business with our old
Spatrons and hope to have many new
ones with good mares this season.
Ask to see him when in town. Care
taken to prevent accidents, but not
responsible should any occur.
We will on September 1, 1908, offer
a premium of $4,000 in gold to the
owners of three of the best colts
sired by Barber 2765, in the season
Sof 19O7-$25.O0 to the first, Is to
the second and $1,000 to the third.

of literature on the subject of self loading pistols and the systems in ad- dition to those named above include the following automatics that have been tested, or are being tested, by the board now in session at the armory viz; Colt Savage -Searle, Knoble Ross, Webley=Fosberry. The latter is a re- yolyer converted into an automatic. Hundreds of ball cartridges are fled from each and every one of these pis- tols. A stenographer is in attendance and notations made immediately of ev- cry fact, failure, fault or failure to function of every arm whether due to the arm itself or the ammunition with which it is furnished. The work of the board is extending into a test of am munition as well as of pistol or revol- yer. It is believed that the board will recommend for trial, or for adoption for the United States army of a pistol or revolver which will prove to be an improvement upon any of the hand arms now in use.-Springfield Letter to the Boston Transcript.

House Leader Banks says House.
 Cleaning is Necessary.
 Hartford, April Representative Banks, ttle house leader lto-day gave notice that a house-cleauilie of the cal endar would be begun tomorrow. He said it was imperative that this should be dose. When the house opened fully dozen matters starred for action to- day were, upon motion, put at the foot of the calendar. .a.~
 Among these measures were some that cave been on the tdhse for weeks. One concerns the aholitiontof the death penalty. and others .reSarding criminal cases in court MT. Banks said 1t was not his desire to be unreasonable, but there was no sense in delaying legisla- ton.
 Two measures relating to banks were passed although Representative Lati, mer asked that this actionihe not taken, as the general banking law will, or should, cover the matters in these bills. One related to pledging of deposits in savings banks, and the other to pay ment of deposits belonging to joint de- positors. Both bills had been favorably reported.

Sacred Heart Catholic Club Furnishes Splendid Programme.
 An audience which filled Music hall last night listened with appreciation to the excellent programme provided by the Catholic club of tine Sacred Heart church at it's "Gaudeamus.' The pro- gramme opened with concert by the full Second Regiment band under the direction of Frank Fichtl, and included as principal attractions Miss Margaret Hogan, soprano, and Riley E. Phillips, baritone.
 Miss Hogan's work is too well known to need comment, and she sustained last night the reputation that she has won for herself on previous occasions. Her efforts met with great favor from her audience and she received merited applause.
 MT. Phillips work was also well ap- preciated, and the piccolo solo by MT. Hegel was a rare treat.
 The Yale Glee club quartette, which was down for several selections, did not put in an appearance.
 At the conclusion of the programme the Second Regiment band played for dancing until 12 o'clock.

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
 EXAMINATION IS ENDED
Continued from First Page.)


 The last public session of the com
 mission was held this morning to hear the testimony of two more alielhsts- 1 Dr. Allen Ross Diefendorf of Middle town, Conn.,, for the prosecution and Dr. Charles G. Wagner of Binghamton, N. Y, for the defense. Dr. Diefendorf gave a purely academic decision based
 upon assumed facts and writings of the defendant and declared Thaw was in- competent. Dr. Wagner said he had talked with the prisoner almost daily for nearly two months and had been unable to find anything upon which to I predicate an opinion of mental un- soundness at this time. He was not willing to go on record, however, as specifically declaring 'Thaw- to be in
 every sense 9 sane man. He said he
 had not sufficient facts before him, or sufficient time, in which to reach so positive a conclusion
 Dr. Wagner repeated many of his more recent conversations with Thaw
 and gave the defendants idea of his present predicament. Thaw declared
 that he realized his position to-day was
 serious one He thought, however
 that his attorneys had made such good progress during the trial that he was in much better position than when it
 was begun. He said he had no delision now that his act was an act of Provi- denee.
 When the commission began it's pri-
 vate examination of the defendant the
 members questioned him particularly
 about this delusion and others from which it has been testified he was suf- fering at the time he shot and killed Stanford White Dr. Putzel, of the commission conducted the brief physi-
 cal examination to which Thaw was subjected. He was given all of the standard tests of the refeXes. the pu-
 pills of the eyes, the Romberg test for evidences of locomotor ataxia, etc. Thaw is said to have undergone all of these tests in thoroughly satisfactory manner The alenists who testified for
 the defense and who conducted a much
 more searching physical test than that undertaken by the commission to-day
 declared they were unable to find any really abnormal traces. pr. B. D.
 Evans said there was an unusual bump
 near the base of the skull and also told of Thaw's huctuating pulse, declaring l it was the most extraordinary he had
 ever met with in his medical eXper-
 fence The rate of beat of ten would
 change four times in a minute.
 Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, attired
 again in the blue school girl costume
 of the early days of the trial, was pres
 ent during most of the public session
 and while Thaw was closeted with the
 commission for his last ordeal she sat
 in the corridor with members of her
 husbands counsel.

 day, but at the end of the inquiry

YALE TEAM RETURNS.

Baseball Men Back from Successful
 Southern Trip.
 '5The Yale baseball team returned to this city yesterday afternoon from New York The men who arrived in New York late Tuesday afternoon and spent yesterday there with their friends, re- turned on different trains yesterday. They all appeared in good condition and had an appearance of satisfaction with their southern trip.
 The Yale baseball manager said yes- terday in response to an inquiry as to Coach Lush's condition, that Lush was under physicians care and that they had bandaged his eye with packed lee. This treatment will continue for forty eight hours after which the doctor will be able to ascertain his condition. The Yale team Is rapidly getting into condition and both Lush and Captain Kinney are greatly pleased. The pitch- CT, with the exception of Parsons, who has lame arm, are in excellent condi- ton and are putting the leather over in great style.
 The team will hold practice this aft ernoon at Yale field.

stnte PrI.on CommIttee.

Hartford, April 8--The state prison committee held a hearing this after noon on the bills regarding the inde terminate sentence law, and the gen. eral sentiment expressed was in favor of more satisfactory law than is in operation at present. One of the bills discussed provided for a maximum and minimum form of sentence, the mini mum to be not less than one year, but the interval between the expiration os the maximum and minimum terms shall in no case be less than eighteen months. Secretary Taylor, of the State Prison association, said that a law which pro- vided that a prisoner can be paroled was the only adequate law. He said that the absolute indeterminate sen- tence was the correct thing to operate under, and that the law at present has become absurd in practice and is a farce It has even degenerated into comic opera, he said. No judge, he continued, can tell when a man is fit to be discharged from prison, and that that should be left to the men in charge of the prisoner. MT. Taylor said that in no state was the absolute indeter- minate law in operation, but ne be- lieved that it was coming in Connecti- cut.
 Secretary Kellogg, of the state board of charities, said that the present law was not satisfactory, and that it was not given fair chance. The judges of the upper courts had nullif1ed the law, he said, and there were only a few cases where it was administered as it should have been.
 Judge Walter + Clark, of the Hart ford city court, opposed a change, say ing that the present laws, if leniency was shown, would operate successfully. He thought that a more indetermiuate liberal law was not near at hand.

Fine Weapons are New Being Tested
 at Springfield Armory.
 The board of United States army ofli- cers detailed from the cavalry, artil- lery and infantry arms of the service and from the ordnance department now in session at the armory for the purpose of examining and testing self
 loading pistols, also hand-loading re- volyers, has now had before it the rep resentatiye mechanical inventors of the | typical military systems of Germany and America Three men George | Luger of Berlin, Germany; John M. ] Browning of Ogden, Utah, and Elbert
 H. searle of Springfield, Mass.-have personally exploited and demonstrated | the peculiar, original and essential fea- lures of their respective inventions, ex- plaining also the advantages and mer- | it's of the Parabellum, the Colt auto matte and the Savage automatic pistol l in the order respectively named. Mir.
 Iuger, by the way, gives the American l inventor of the machine gun, the Max m-Vicars, full credit for the toggle | and link joint feature of the Parabel- i lum self-loading pistol,
 MT. Browning is actively identified with the yearly production of tens of | thousands of semi-automatics, carry | ing from caliber 20 vestpoeket toy, capable of impelling a bullet that will l pierce three Inches of pine, to militia " model, caliber 45-ineh, that will penetrate more than double that num-
 Der of pine boards.
 It is generally understood that the army board of pistols and revolvers has eliminated the arms presented to | it for test and trial down to three self leaders and two revolvers. These au- | tomatic pistols are the Savage-Searle, the Colt-Browning, and the Luger-Par- ] abellum, The revolvers are the Colt, | caliber AS. Of course the findings of | the board will not be made known un- ! til it's recommendations have been re- | duced to writing and submitted to the authority converting it. When the re- port of the board is received in Wash
 ington it is probable that the chief of ordnance will pass upon it, after which | it will be transferred to the board of Notifications and ordnance.
 The world is indebted to Italy for one of the most exhaustive publications upon the subject of self-loading hand 1 fire arms. There is a pamphlet con-
 taining over one hundred and thirty pages, accompanied by an atlas of eighteen large plates. of automatic pis- tols embracing the following self loaders, viz: The Mauser Browning, Borchardt, Borchb brdt-Luger, Manlich- i CT, Bergman, Gdbbett7FatFfa1, Roth, Cei-Rigotti, ClaiH There Is a pauclty

LABOR BILL TURNED DOWN.
Elght-Hour Measure, TeehnIcally Kll


 Eight Hour Measure, Technically Kill
 ed Tuesday Up Again Through
 Courtesy.
 Hartford April 9-The bill reported unfavorably by the labor committee which provided for an elght-hour day for employees on publica works, which was technically killed in the house yes- terday, was put before the members to- day for debate out of courtesy to Rep resentative Phelan, who introduced the bill and who was absent yesterday. MT. Phelan said he desired to oppose the slaughter of the bill. The com mon people of the state, he declared, are heartily in favor of such bill. He at once moved for a yea and nay vote.
 Before this was taken Representative Connor, of Enfield, said the motion for a vote was premature. He said the la bor committee is not made up of men who favor labor bills. The senate and house cllairmen are both manufactur- CTS. The laboring people of Connecti- cut need and expect a few fayors from the legislature.
 Representative Burbank, of suffield, said he was opposed to the bill, body and soul, while Representative Gum favored It. He said the laboring man will do as much work in eight hours as he does in ten.
 The debate stopped at this point.

CENSUS GUEssWoRK.

Man newspapers are publishing in blackface type the estimates of city populations in 1906 just furnished by the Federal Census Bureau, without enlightening their readers as to the methods by which the totals given were obtained. No mysterious author fly attaches to the figures produced, and it would be well for cities whose pride has been swollen or whose van ity has been wounded to remember that the increases reported are in most eases only mathematical deductions based on past rates of growth. The method of calculation adopted by the Census Bureau is simple and conven- tent, and it works well in dealing with cities in the mass. The calculator takes the growth in poulation of a given city between 1890 and 1900 and divides it by 10. Then for each year since 1900 he adds that increment to the citys actually enumerated popu. lation in 19o0 As the rate of growth of all our cities is fairly uniform this a priori estimate fits in many cases, and it's overestinlates for the slower growing centers are balanced by it's undergraduates for the faster growing ones. Yet it is equally clear that though the general rate of urban prog ress is fairly uniform the rate for in- dividual cities varies materially from decade to decade, and no city can be sure that it's growth for the last six years is accurately reflected in an arithmetical process based on its rec ord from 1890 to 19OO.-New York Tri- bune

Several ministers appeared before the committee, and favored the bill, which would do away with these so-called rooms or booths, saying they did more harm than they did the proprietors good The bill providing for only one entrance to a saloon was also strong ly favored.
