THE MAYORS REASONS.

The Journal and Courier expressed It's surprise at the time that Mayor Studley should have so hurriedly ve- toed the resolution which passed the Board of Aldermen and which located the proposed hospital for contagious diseases in the Second ward. He has now in special message to that body explained his act so far as the site is concerned but says nothing of the need there appeared to be for an in- sta1lt veto. We are far from sure that the explanation is more entitled to patient consideration than the act It. self.
 Mayor Studley declines as we under stand 1t to discuss the many and ex- cellent reasons for locating the pro- posed hospital in the Second ward, though the Board of Aldermen was impressed by them. T will base my dlsapproval,' he says, Chiefly on the
 
 ground that the people in the western part of the city, irrespective of party. are practically unanimously opposed to having the hospital established on the site mentioned. They believe that if all of the contagious diseases oc- curing in New Haven are to be car ried through the streets and assem- bled in that locality the effect will be to greatly appreciate the value of property and many also believe that 1t will seriously affect the health condi- tions in that locality. While do not wish to be understood as assenting to the latter proposition I am firmly con- vInced of the soundness of the for mern
 If these are sound reasons for veto- ing the resolution of the Board of AL dermen, which gave unusual attention to the question of establishing a con. tagious hospital in the city of New Haven, and they are to be accepted a; probably the reasons Mayor Studley'E successor would give, then there i' but one thing to do, and that is to To- cate the proposed hospital on the Towl Farm. It has been very clearly de monstrated that no matter where tn, institution is theoretically located 1T the city limits ward apprehension can. not be overcome and therefore wart apprehension will be sufficient to de. feat it's establishment. That eliminates every likelihood of the hospital being received elsewhere than at Springside The city of Springfield went through the same mental anguish only to latel admit that it had been guilty of incon sitlration. It is difficult to believt tha a city possessing over 125,OOO soul

tricts of the commonwealth. What the effect will be upon the electorate of the State remains to be seen. There are signs of revolt there but 1t is more the result of impatience than knowledge of corrupt conduct The people of the State are tired of being misrepresented tired, even in many of the small towns, of being hossed by an organization from within, tired of seeing gover- nor opposed and snubbed, whose hope and ambition have been to leave the administration of affairs better than he found them. It is time, in other words, that the actual truth was told: 1t Is not the time to draw false conclusions, for after all has been said that can be said the people themselves cannot es- cape their share of the responsibility. The citizenship of Connecticut needs awakening but in a manner that will insure the durability of results. The appeal must be to the creative not the critical faculty.

AN ATTRACTIVE PLAN.

MT. R. w. Perks, prominent Eng fish layman of the Methodist Church, has come over to this country with a plan by which he hopes to bring about beneficial results to his co-religionists both here and in Europe. The first thing he wants to do is to establish a Methodist Brotherhood, on lines pro- posed by John Wesley a century and a half ago, when he proposed Ito use the wealth and energy of the Method ist denomination for the social as well as the spiritual well-being of the peo- pie" The objects which Mr. Perks would set before such a Brotherhood are fourfold--emigratio employment
 savings institutions and old age pen sions. The Christian Guardian, of To- ronto, Canada, further explains the plan in the following words: Method ism has agencies in nearly every land | Why not utilize these agencies in wise- ly directing the streams of emigration from eongested lands into channels that shall be very largely under Methodist control? Action in this di- rection has already been taken by the Canadian Church. and there seems to be no valid reason why we should not go even further than we have nor why Methodism in other lands should not follow. It would make the bitter ness of seyering old ties lose much of it's poignancy, if men and women

The good that men do is oft inferred with their bones. but when they buried James Buchanan they didn't bury the evidence that he was good enough and smart enough when he was President of the United States to refuse railroad pass. That evidence now opportunely comes to light, and even as there were brave men before Agamemnon it can now be seen that there were good and smart men be- fore the men who now refuse railroad passes.
 The day of the railroad pass is so nearly over that good many people wont get a chance to initiate the ex- ample set by Buchanan. But perhaps they can do something to show that they have good spirit. For instance, when the conductor of trolley car misses them they can modestly and Iyet honestly call his attention to the matter and to five cents. They can notify the iceman when he gives them overweight, and they can be honest with the contribution box in the meeting house. There will probably be opportunities to do right, even though such doing may never be as publicly known as the doing of Buchanan now is.

Worcester is only just recovering from the pleasure of her Old Home Week when she is pained by the an- nouncement that the gypsy moth has appeared fin her midst" The moth Is going to be fought in Worcester as ex- tensively and expensively as is neces- sary, and it is to be hoped that it will be conquered. It Is a most persistent and pestiferous pest. The green bug is a dead bug, the cotton boil weevil has disappeared some from the public gaze and the humbug is finding 1t more necessary to keep dark. But the gypsy moth keeps everlastingly at it. It is more busy than the busy bee and as destructive as the bee is constructive. It is humiliating to think that the big brains of Massachusetts have not been able to make any more headway than they have against the pest. The sad dening thought rises that if Massachu- setts isn't intelligent enough to beat the moth what State will be? The only hope seems to be that some Connecticut man will invent and patent a gypsy moth destroyer that will destroy.

Berlin has received an order for loco- motives from France. In speaking of the order Dresden paper says: "1t is the first time that Germany has been called upon in this branch by France. The order, which will bring into the country more than 100000 marks, will keep the works busy until late next year. Another paper, commenting on the transaction, says: There Is more than the business transaction in this demand for our product. It Is a recog- milton of our worth and an evidence of friendship.

All South and West Scott
at the Idea of Hard Times

said the manager of the Victoria.
New York is so busyit doesn't watch
the ebb and flow of travel as do the
hotel men. The lobby has been full
of Western and Southern merchants
for six weeks, and the talk has all
been on shipments and case lots
and percentages and discounts off
for ten or thirty day payments.
1--WE had commercial men and
buyers here in swarms for two and a
half MONTHS" said the manager of
the Cadillac, land busy spending
bunch they are. They have all been
CHEEKY and happy, and have yet to
see one who predicted anything but a
booming trade"
Too Busy For Pessimism.
eff the United States wants a
panic, or if Wall Street shuts up on
New York's money supply, send word
to South Carolina and we'll help the
East out" said w. G. Aarants, buyer
and manager for the Kerrisow Dry
Goods Co., of Charleston, S. c. "The
State in which / live is too busy max
ing money to pay any attention to-,
or to have any sympathy with, talk
of panic or hard times.
"Our merchants are getting rich,
manufactures are springing up, ar
adding enormously to the wealth 81,
the farmer and the spinner and oul
banks and trust companies are carry
ing millions of dollars on deposit.
Cotton at six cents is profitable;
at fourteen 1t is boon incalculable,
for it means nearly $700,000,O00 an
nually to the South. While we have
billions we can't see Wall Street. No
trust magnates, using that imperfect
financial thermometer, the Stock Ex-
change, should be allowed to cause
the country a single SILVER"
A. V. Billet, of the William H.
Horstman Company: Texas alone is
an empire vast in dimensions and so
vastly wealthy that her people would
brand themselves ridiculous to think
of hard times. The farmers and the
cattlemen are rolling in wealth; the
oil industry has added millions and
the merchants are doing tremendous
volumes of trade"
L. F. Connole, of Baltimore, says:
with Iowa boasting a $3.50, 100000
corn crop and Kansas almost reach
ing her, while the South is getting
fancy prices on 100000 bales of
cotton, there is money in plenty. The
South and the West now think Wall
Street a wooden ghost with the sheet
pulled off.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDOrtS.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly REVIEW
of Trade says:
Retail trade increases at the lead
ing cities as the vacation season
closes, and the opening of the fall
lines is attended with most satisfac-
tory results. AS the staple crops are
secure and marketed there Is a
prompt improvement in mercantile
collections throughout the agricultur-
al district and the decline in prices
was especially helpful in Stimulating
export trade. There is still much
conservatism in placing contracts for
future business, and decreased specu-
lation in another factor that aids
in restoring normal financial con-
ditions.
Primary markets for dry goods
are seasonably quiet without any
evidence of weakness. Manufacture
ers of cotton goods are in a strong
position, having large contracts on
hand, and prices are we'll maintain
ed, despite the fact that some buy
ers were forced to take small profits
quickly on account of the financial
stringency.
New contracts for mems wear
woolens appear slowly. Reports
from worsted mills indicate fairly full
activity, but there is considerable idle
machinery at wooden mills.

New York City.-Just at this time
while pessimists who tremble at the
mere mention of Wall Street are
looking for financial stringency, New
York hotels are reaping a harvest
from an army of men whose predic-
lions reflect the financial conditions
better than can any rise or depres-
sion of securities. This legion repre-
sents the merchants of the entire con-
tinent.
1t is a conservative estimate to say
that $5,500,O00 has been spent in
New York City by this buying and
selling commercial army, in small ad-
vance orders, in living expenses and
in amusement, for the daily expedi-
lures of a majority of the visitors
have been very heavy.
You may use Wall Street here as
a bugaboo with which to brighten
Fifth avenue and to keep Newport
meek at times" said Ernest Jackson,
at the Cadillac, but the American
people don't tremble at the mention
of the name any more. The talk of
an approaching panic, while it seems
to make New York feel glum, is
scoffed at by those who appreciate
the real resources of the nation and
who feel that panic cannot come
even if the money kings try to create
one."
Mr.. Jackson has for years been
among the chief Southern travelling
men of Arnold, Constable Co., touch
ing on his travels the principal cities
and towns of fourteen Southern
States.
SCOTS at Talk of Panic.
"If there is panic coming, as
those who see trouble where no trou-
Bile exists predict" said he, sit will
be due solely to that fear which
causes child to look into the dark
hall for bear. The men of Wall
Street do not any more hold the
money power in their hands. What
If they do get together and say there
is a stringency? That doesn't alter
the fact that Texas will grow 4,000,-
900 bales of cotton, worth at present
prices $3.50, 100000, and that the
other cotton-growing States will add
100000 additional bales, worth
1000.
Think what that crop alone
means to the country. A 100000
600 cotton crop means prosperity for
the South. That is an enormous sum
of money = within S150.00O,000 of
the debt of New York City"

The Launch of the Leaves.


The Launch of the Leaves.
The yellow leaves go sailing down the
stream
Whose whispering waters run to
seek the sea,
Where slender alders and pale aspens
CLEAN
And every wych-elm seems golden
tree.
Esmber, and brown, and red the light
leaves float;
You cannot see the Pity at the
prov,
But each gay galleon is faery's
boat
The good folk throng the craft from
poop to bow.
You cannot hear the laughter and the
song,
Though to sweet reedy pipes they
laugh and sing;
You'd say-"So late the robin sings
and long
This autumn twilight has sound
of spring"
The Hunters Moon is rising, broad
and bright,
A bronze lamp in the ashen-colored
sky,
To light their shallops down the
stream tonight
Far through the woods hear the
white owls cry.
From the low bridge watch them on
their way,
Fleeing the sunless, starveling days
to be-
How would my heart rejoice if, even
as they.
I, too, might follow summer over
sea.

A stranse Delusion,

In the medical press is story of
a man who believed that he was
dead and who for that reason refused
to take any nourishment. How can
the dead eat and drink" he asked
when food was pressed upon him. 1t
was obvious that unless something
was done to bring him to his senses
the delusion must soon become actu
atty; he would die of starvation.
The strangest ruse was tried. Half a
dozen attendants, draped in ghostly
white, crept silently in single file
into the room adjoining his, and, with
the door open, sat down where he
could see them eat a hearty meal.
Here, who are these people?" in.
quired the patient.
Dead men," answered the doctor
What" said the other. do dead
men eat?"
ITO be sure they do, as you see
for yourself" wsro the answer.
"Well." said the corpse, "if that is
so I'll join them, for I'm starving"
The spell was broken. and he sat
down and ate like forty famished
men.-Chicago News.
