zowER TROLLEY FaBrs.

1t appears that the merchants resi-
dent in the towns and cities connected
with New Haven by trolley are dis
pleased with the announcement that
fares are to be lowered; that it is to be
easier for their neighbors and patrons
to shop in New Haven.
While II may be said that the shops
Of New Haven recognize no rivals in
their determination to supply and an
ticlpate the needs of the shopper there
Is not the slightest likelihood of their
swallowing the trade of the nearby
towns on account Of lower trolley
fare. That is not the way rapid tram
sit and cheap transportation work
They are not forces created for the
purpose Of either destroying the pros
perity Of the towns in which railway
service is given or Of distributing their
prosperity among larger towns. They
are forces created to add to the sum
and total of the prosperity enjoyed by
all OF the towns served, and they do
their work admirably.
New Haven is a great deal more en-
terprising town than it was when the
service between here and New York
was slow and expensive. 1t Is the en-
terprising town it is because fares were
lowered and transit made rapid. 1t
made metropolitan merchants of nler-
chants who were before distinctly pro-
vinclai In their outlook. A further re-
duction In fares and an increase in the
time schedule will make additional
bursts Of mercantile speed inevitable
for the reason that the merchants are
themselves abreast Of the demands
made upon them by conditions which
they can not make and must harness
and drive.
Only good will come to the towns Of
the state OF Connecticut which are to
be brought nearer to the large centers
BIZ lower fares This is either true or
else to protect themselves they will
have to revive the days of the old stage
coach.

SOME TALKING MONEY.

Money talks, and money says that
when we promised to help little Cuby''
we meant it. Up to April of this year
the total cost of American intervention
In Cuba had been $2,969,395. The total
cost up to the first day of the present
month has not yet been computed, but
is estimated by Secretary Taft at
So, 1906 The cost of the army and
navy services required in the initial
stages of the occupation amounted to
sg,O12,6S2, or considerably more than
half of all that has thus far been
spent.
OF course this big sum and the big
sum that will be added to it are not
intended to be a gift with no string to
it. The idea is that by and by, when
cuba is thoroughly peaceful and pros
porous, she viii pay back to us what

WISDOM DrDN,r DIE WITH HIM.


Solomon got set down in the Bible as
a very wise man, and he was also call
ed wise by humorist who said he had
to be wise in order to answer the ques-
lions of his numerous children. Per-
haps he was the wisest man that ever
lived. He was certainly wiser than
some Of the members of the Connecti-
cut legislature. But once in awhile a
man appears with whom the wise Sol
ONION might have condescended to &C.
casionally consult had he lived in his
times. For instance, one of the Ger
man judges who were the other day
hearing pleas for an extension of the
closing hour for saloons from IL to'12:S0.
The saloonkeepers presented many wit
nesses who testified that the whole
town was for the change. The judges
retired to consider and, when they re-
appeared, the chairman said: 1--WE shall
take great pleasure in granting the ex-
tension, but the plea must be supported
by the signatures of at least ten mar
ried women"
Those signatures have not been OBJ
tanned. Who the judge was whose wis
dom brought about this decision is not
yet known. Perhaps he may be a gen.
uine Son Of solomon. If he is solomon
needn't be ashamed of him if he is so
situated that he can know about him.

will be inaugurated at the Christian
Church, beginning the first Sunday
in November. Rev. E. L. Powell for
twenty years pastor of the 4th. and
Walnut streets Christian Church of
Louisville, KY, will do the preaching.
Rev. Powell has the reputation of
being n of the most gifted pulpit
orators in America, and is frequently
alluded to as the greatest, popular
preacher in the Christian Church. He
will be in Lexington just ten days
and the people of the city and COM
munity irrespective of denomination
are cordially invited to atteud the
services which DR.. Powell will con-
duct. 1t being impossible to secure
the services of Rev. Powell for {. long
Ell period than ten days, the meeting
will be brief, and the people are
therefore urged to make the most of
an exceedingly rare opportunity.

Teddy Bears Were Drubbed.

The Teddy Bear foot ball team
was again badly drubbed by the
doughty g%ridiron heroes composing
the 4th team Academy, Saturday
afternoon on the campus. The final
count was about 2S to 0.
The 4th team made consistent
gains on almost every down. Brin,
the star performer in line bucking,
made terrific onslaughs upon the
growing and snarling cubs. The
academies also used the forward pass
with good results. Slopes and
Wheeler put up good offensive and
defensive games for the soldiers.
The Teddy Bears made a gritty
fight but they could accomplish moth
ing against the superior speed and
weight of their opponents. Although
defeated twice the Bears are still
defiant and will retire into the
jungle to r~ecuperate for another
clash with Capt Curnutt's charges.

MEDICS 4 WENTWORTH 0
Wentworth Defeated by a Close Score.

A field goal from the experienced
toe of Freshman in the first half
gives the sum total of what the
Medics were capable Of doing to
Wentworth. The cadets sustained
their reputation for grit and playing
the last minute with as much snap
and determination as the FIRST. Al
ways dangerous, evea when con-
fronted by a team made up of
gridison veterans, as is the case of
the Medics.
The details of the game are lack
ing but from the score a student of
the game can imagine a very in
teresting game, and not as the Kan
sas City Journal says, Wentworth
Military Academy was completely
oatclassed. 'The Journals football
reporter must be an eX-champion Of
tiddle-de-winks or push.pins. one
can hardly imagine a team complete
ly outclassed when their opponents
cant make a touchdown. The
Journal again says At no stage of
the game we're the cadets danger
ous.' Foot ball men will smile at the
Journals ignorance. No matter who
has possession of the ball, the 1.-TWO
yard line is a dangerous locality.
This vas the case in the Medic
Wentworth game. Wentworth had
forced the ball by punts and
rushes, to the Medics' two yard line.
True they did not score. But where
is there foot ball man
who will deny them that morsel of
comfort of being in class"
Every member of the cadet team
finished the game without an injury
which in itself is good recommends
ton when the weight and experience
OF the opposing team is considered.
The football heroes returned on
the S:45 train. Not Notwithstanding
the fact that the train was about two
hours late, the entire battalion of
cadets with the band met them in
front of Col. Sanford Sellers resi-
dence on Highland Avenue. After
giving them an enthusiastic recep-
ton, the corps of cadets escorted
them triumphantly through the
streets of the city.

ball team went to Odessa Friday

their treatment at the hands of the
officials and the crowd.
The field vas a good one and a large
number of people turned out to see
the game, The Odessa boys were
much heavier than their opponents.
but were deficient in their knowledge
OF the game. According to the re-
port the umpire showed one of
the most colossal exhibitions of ig-
norance on record. He called a
touchback for Lexington a safety for
Odessa and gave Odessa a touchdown
on a penalty.
There was a lot of trouble tooa a.
bout the crowds getting on the field.
But the boys from Lexington had
the boys from Odessa thoroughly out
classed and defeated them easily in
spite of adverse conditions.
The second game between these two
teams will take place here in a few
