FROM MARTIN SUPPORTERS
THE CANDIDATES CAREER
Friends Present Claims of Their Man for
 Office.
To the Democratic Voters of New Ha-

To the Democratic Voters of New Ha-
 ven:-
 We take pleasure in commenting to your favorable consideration, as inter- ested in the welfare of the city and of the democratic party, the candidacy of MT. James B. Martin for the democrat lie nomination for mayor at the demo- cratic primaries, to be held Sept. 1T.
 Mir. Martin would undoubtedly make the strongest candidate that the party could nominate under present condi- tions. and there is every reason to be- lieve that his election would follow his nomination. He is known to be cap able, efficient, and honest, has always been an active loyal and consistent democrat, has hosts of friends in both parties, and is universally popular and esteemed.
 He was born in New Haven, edu- cated in her public schools, has lived here all his life, and the people know him. His long service as assistant city clerk and city clerk have ernlnently qualified him, by experience and train- l ing, for the position of mayor, and, when elected, he can be relied upon to discharge its duties with advant- age to the best interests of the city and with credit to his party. l From 1896 to 1901, he was chairman of the democratic town committee, and personally conducted the presi- dential, state and municipal campaigns for his party during those terms. lAt present he represents the Eighth Sem atorial district upon the democratic state central committee. He is recog- nized as a fine organizer and skillfully piloted the party from the defeats of 1896 10 the great local victories of 1899 and 1900 He has shown his strength as q vote getter when a candidate be- fore the people always running ahead of his ticket by hundreds of votes. His nomination wiD enlist the enthusiastic supper, and interest of the younger 1 democracy and assure a united party for the real battle of election day.
 If ability, integrity, honorable party SefVlce ana dNalldDlllly dre ldCtois u ibe considered, no one can show bet ter title to the nomination for mayor We confidently look to you in the coming primaries to act for the best interest of the party and to do your utmost to ensure for James B. Mar tin the democratic nomination fol mayor.
 The James B. Martin Democratic Com
 mittee.
 MT, Martin, besides being for many years assistant city clerk and city clerk, is an active member of many local societies, among them being the Knights of St. Patrick, San Salvador council, No 1, Knights of Columbus Royal Arcanum, New Haven lodge, No 25, B.

CT stops to consider that the average length of time taken for this is less than five seconds from the instant he takes his receiver off the hook he will realize how swiftly the girl has to work. Having received the number the girl takes the cord known as the calling cord and connected with the one with which she has answered the call, and secures the party desired.
 For illustration. let it be assumed that the number called for is 4,920 ring 2. On the board, dividing each proposition into divisions are num- bers running, for example, from 1 to 50. Opposite each one of these num- bers are ten strips of holes of jacks, ten holes on each strip, numbered from zero to 99. To get the line de- sired, in this case 1920. she looks on her strips for the number 49 and then opposite this for the hole numbered 20. She then inserts her plug into this jack and is connected with line number 4920.
 The telephone desired by the call ing subscriber on this line is two. The operator by means of another switch puts the ringing current on the line of the subscriber to be called and rings his bell twice When he has an swered she throws back the switch, by means of which she first cut in on the calling subscribers line, and leaves the 1 two to talk.
 Before the common battery board, those who had telephones, will re- member that central from time to time came in on the wire and said "are you through ?" What are known as supervisory signals or lights have done away with the need of this.
 In front of the cords which the op- orator used to establish the connection are two lights similar to that over the jacks into which the subscribers line comes. As long as the two sub scribers are talking both of the lights are out As soon as one party hangs up his receiver one lamp lights, and when both are lighted the operator knows that the two subscribers are through talking. She then takes down the cords cutting off both the lines and leaving them open for another call. When the subscriber calls for toll ] line the operator goes through the same process, but instead of inserting the calling cord in one of the multiple l jacks, she places it in row of jacks that are labeled Toll line" This l throws light in the same manner as removing the receiver from the hook ! in front of toll line girl. This oper- ator picks up the call and writes down the information given her. The ticket made out is carried to another opera tor who actually establishes the toll line call When Number 25" is ask ed for, the local operator simply in serts her calling plug in one of a line of jacks or holes labeled "25," which throws light in front of the informa- tion operators who have separate desks.
 Thus are the thousands of calls that come in daily handled in less time that it takes to tell about one tentr of the actual operation. If the sub. scriber will think of these things that the operator has to do in hanSiing { call, if he will remember that the glr
 at Central" is very human and Urea
 her with the respect that is due hei as woman, the best service, is the onC
 thing that can result when a compan,
 is properly caring for its business.

yield a gross income of $1, 900 an acre, as might be expected considering the price at which the apples sell here, but the number of middlemen cut the profits sufficiently so that the growers will not become plutocrats even under several years of good crops.

Paris--If the foreign motorist is
FentGTesome enough 10 visit certain

moonlight spins over the narrow
white roads he viii occasionally come
across bands Of peasants dancing in a
circle around some decrepit old dame,
white capped and holding a switch in

would naturally think that they were
indulging in some harmless merry
making. Yet they are engaged in no
less solemn task than evoking the
devil.
This is only one OF the medieval
superstitiOns, some picturesque, some
terrible, that cling TO the Brittany
country folk In the less frequented
districts where railways are few and
the inns uninviting 10 the summer
tourist local necromancers have
hold on the people unguessed by the
Frenchman OF the larger towns.
There the prophecies of palmist and
somnambulist are hardened to with
fear and bated breath. Fishermen
will tramp miles to the hut OF some
seeTess to learn what luck the cards
predict for the next expedition al sea.
Strangest OF all perhaps is the per-
sistent belief in talismans, incanta-
tiOns and love philters.
When fishing craft are overdue it is
not uncommon to find barefooted
lasses standing on the rocks holding a
magic amulet and waving their arms

the return of their missing sweet
