 the Future

The Demands Made Are Socialistic in Nature But Call For Many Reforms, Many Of Them Are
 Just Ones.

Belfast, Jan 22.-The labor party.
 which has to be seriously considered
 politically, since the unexpected sue
 cess of its candidates at the last gen
 eral election, begins it's seventh an
 nual conference here Thursday. Chiaf
 interest centers on the amendment
 propo ,cd to the constitution of the party by the executive, making the
 organization socialistic without any reservations. The insertion of thls new "object" into the constitution IS desired. "This annual conference hereby declares that it's ultimate oD- feet shall be the obtaining for the workers the full results of their la bors by the overthrow of the present. competitive system of capitalism, aud the institution of public ownership and control of all means of life.'
 Some of the unions affiliated with the party will propose that a vote Of all unionist working men be taken on the proposition is being their belief that the wOrkingmen as a whole are not socialists. The executive will al- so endeavor to have the the conter- ence instruct the members of parlia- ment as to the stand they shall take on the governments temperance bill, which, with the Irish question, is ex- pected to occupy the attention of the commons during the coming session. The suggestion will be in the form of a resolution binding the labor mem bers to support out and out local Op- ton.

 These are the problems which the labor party are asked to support in the commons. They have another. which they must solve themselves mn aand that is how they are to pay $31,- DO for the support of their 20 mem 1ers with an income of only SoO.OOO To make up the difference 1t is suy. gested to increase the levy on mem bers of the unions from a penny to TWO pence.

WEAPONS
Bill to Be Introduced in Present Legislature Affixing a Severe
 Penalty For Going Armed
TOO MANY MURDERS

New Haven, Jan 22.-A bill drawn by Judge Mathewson of the city court here will be introduced in the gen. eral assembly this week providing for severe penalties for the carrying of concealed weapons. It is claimed
 by the police throughout the state that a check must soon be placed upon the habit of foreigners of car rying guns or stilettos, as shootings and stabbing affrays are of almost daily occurrence. So far this month there have been three homicides due to the concealed weapon practice be- sides fully score of serious slash- ings among Italians and Lithuanians. Last year of forty-three homicides in Connecticut only ten were declared to have been due to accident and of the other thirty-three more than half were by shooting in which a con- cealed weapon was drawn in the heat of anger. In sixteen trials of men charged with murder 1t was neces- sary for the state to depend upon evidence given through interpreters and in two cases only was the death sentence imposed. In six other cases life sentences were imposed. To-day at Bridgeport Pasquale Beposito. who killed his boarding mistress at Greenwich, was taken into court to receive the death sentence, and he will make the third foreigner now awaiting execution on the gallows at Wethersfleld. Scarcely a day passec without cutting affray in some Con- uecticut city. At Torrington on Sum- day three men were the victims of 2 stiletto in the hands of celebratoi at Polish wedding. The men are fin the hospital in serious state. At present there is no uniform method of punishing persons who when ar rested are found to be armed except to enter complaint against them of being suspicious persons. which usu- ally results only in confiscation of the weapons.

TO LlGHTEN A ROOM.
Little Touchss That VIII Do Much
 In Relieving Gloom.

No one wants gloomy room, but what to do with such room is a problem that has bothered more than one.
 Many woman has foregone inside curtains and even sash curtains to al. low all the light possible to come into the room, but still 1t looks dreary. It is not as much the light that one needs as the sunshine, and when this cannot be had ono must make it, or rather get the effect of 1t.
 A room with a northern aspect should not, of csuyse, be papered in blue, or some such cold color, but rather in rich, warm tones of olive green, brown. red or yellow. If the room gets but little light and sun. shine. yellow should be the choice Not only shorid there be yellow on the walls, but also on the ceiling. for the sake of the reflection. A pretty treatment is to have a light pumpkin yellow on the walls as far as the pic ture molding and a lighter shade above this and on the ceiling. Then yellow silk sash curtains. pulled back. tend to mf room sunny.
 Brass ca nake wonderful differ ence to C cary room. A large jar. diniere. with plant in 1t placed in a dark corner will Tighten up most mar vellously. The andirons. too. will give cheery reflection. even candlesticks help. and little trays and bowls, be they ever so small. The importance of brass in a sunless room cannot be too strongly emphasized. Mirrors brighten up and so do some pictures. with well.polished glasses and gilded frames. but these little points are too seldom taken into consideration.

The Rainy Day costume.

It may not be fashionable to go about In rainy weather but 1t is, ney. ertheless. often necessary. and in every outfit there should be one cos. tune that is suitable for indictment weather. An old cloth suit is gener. ally relegated to this sort of wear and Is often excellent for the purpose, but frequently the only suit that is old enough for the purpose is too elabor. ate to be appropriate. The simpler the rainy day suit the better, and there must be no plaits or trimmings to be ruined by the dampness. The skirt should be some inches shorter than the regular walking skirt and should be sufnciently full to be becom- ing. but as just stated must have no plaits which would require the skirt to be pressed after each outing. A plain tailor-made jacket of three-quar- ter length is the smarter. and the sleeves should be long. for long gloves are quite inappropriate for this style of dress.
