EVIL CONTROL PASSING.
Publicity Helps to Higher Plane of
 Morality.

Hartford, Aug. 13.-The use of money is not the worst form of corruption of voters in the opinion of Prof. William James of Harvard university, who with Miss Ida Tarbell Is the guest of Miss Theodate Pope of Hillcrest Farm, in Pennington.
 Enlarging on that phase of the sub iect Prof. James, in an interview, said that the bestowal of orders. medals, official positions and the social recog- nition which is accorded to certain people In order to influence their votes is really more degrading to the indi- vidual than the. acceptance of money bribe. He expressed an opinion that there is an upward tendency in the morality of the world as regards DO. lltical attachment and higher plane is being reached gradually
 Prof. James attributes this awaken Ing of conscience to the influence od | publicity, which is given to the .ques tionable acts of corporations and In. dividuals through the press and maga zines and he feels that the old evi ccntrol which lhe corporations have or Legislation Is being loosened.

Had an Arm Cut off-Rare
 Display of Grit.
 Harold Seaman, a brakeman on the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad, had his left arm cut off just below the elbow in an accident in the Westfeld yards at about p. m. Sun day. Seaman was sitting on a rail near the engine-house eating his supper at the time, and 1t is thought he became blinded by the headlights of two en- zines, one coming out and one going in, for, becoming confused, he got on the track in front of switch engine and was run over. Besides the loss of his arm, he had a shoe torn from his left foot, was bruised severely about the foot and about one eye, and had a few minor bruises. The injured man was taken to Noble hospital, Springfield, where Drs. Hutchinson and Brace am- putated the left arm just below the shoulder. In spite of the fact that he had to be taken to the hospital in an ordinary wagon, Seaman showed unus- ual grit, refusing to be assisted into the hospital, but walking to the oper- ating room alone He was an extra man and a new man at the business, boarding in New Haven, but his home was in Linbrook, N. Y, near Long ls- land City. He was resting comfortably at the hospital yesterday, and will pro- bably be out in very few days.

 Some of the theatre goers were by this time standing on the backs of the seats, others made for the main aisle. One cool headed youth sent for a po- liceman. Special Officer Kelly was the first of the reserves to arrive. Armed and equipped for battle Officer Kelly charged the enemy. The order was given to blaze away and the policeman began firing. A bullet pierced the animal in the quarterback and it was all to the bad for him. He died with a smile on.

BOY BITTEN BY A RATHER.
Tried to Capture Reptile Alive But Was Obliged to Kill It.

Howard Royce, who lives on the Under-mountain Sheffield road near Great Harrington, had an interesting experience with a rattlesnake a few days ago. He went out looking for the reptiles and intended bringing one of them home alive just for the fun. He had little trouble in finding the snake and succeeded in getting string over it's head. The snake then crawled into a crevice in rock and the boy tugged away at the string. The reptile did not relish the choking sensation and sud- denly gave sAring and bit the young man on the hand. Realizing the dan ger from the bite, he killed the snake and then sucked the poison from the wound

Canal Boat R. J. Garrett Hit Brealzwa-

 Laden with $50 tons of coal con signed to the Malleable Iron works in Branford the canal boat R. J. Gar rett is sunk off Savin Rock. The Gar rett was beached there last Sunday night by the tug Abram Skidmore of the Red Ball line after the canaler had hit the rocks of the west breakwater during fog. Captain Albert Free of the Skidmore was making for this port land says he did not hear the fog horn on Sperry right. He lost his bearings in the thick weather with the result that the Garrett struck the breakwa- | ter.

The joint postal commission
created by Congress to investigate
the subject of second class mail
matter has completed its investiga-
ton and presented report. If its
recommendations are carried out
they will have a far reaching and
doubtless salutary effect and will
make the postal service instead of
producing yearly deficit of ten
thousand dollars, render a profit of
that much or more. The Com
mission recommends the form of a
bill which eliminates many of the
abuses of the postal services and
especially those relating to second
class mail matter. The proposal
is to entirely abolish what is called
the Sunday supplement as we'll as
the Sunday magazine. A number
of other recommendations are
made. A few months ago quite a
sensation was created when a Chi
cago syndicate offered to take
charge of the postal service of the
United States at a cost of fifty
thousand dollars a year and max
ing at the same time a promise to
reduce letter postage to one cent.
There is not the least doubt that
the syndicate would have cleared
ten per cent on this contract or in
other words could have declared a
yearly divided of at least FIVE mil
lions of dollars 1t would have
secured railway mail service for
about halt the amount the govern
ment now pays for it or for as little
as the Express companies pays for
a similar service and it would have
given every mail carrier in the
rural service a light wagon and
carried on a very extensive rural
express business in combination
with the mail delivery. 1t is time
indeed for the United States Gov.
eminent to adopt some of these
sensible business like expedients
and to bring the postal service o
this country up to an equality with
the improved services of foreign
nations.
