1 however, fell into the hands oi Charles M. Schumanp, janitor of the Litchfield County hospital, who was a bidder at the auction. It is a memorandum of articles of agree ment drawn up between Rev H. A Russell, who is still a resident of Winsted, and one Daniel Lynch, for labor, and gives an excellent idea of how contracts were made for la bor before the days of unions and kindred organizations. The memo randum is as follows:
 Memorandum of agreement be- tween Rev H. A. Russell and Daniel Lynch, March 27, 1869. MT Lynch agrees to work for MT Russell for one year, commencing April l, 1869, and ending March 31. 1870, for the agreed price of s365 for the year, or if by reason of dissatisfaction, sick ness. or any other cause, the parties conclude to terminate the contract at the expiration of eight months from the date above mentioned. April 1, 1869, said Lynch is to have s265 for that length of time; said Russell being responsible to Mrs Elizabeth Austin in the sum of S25 per an mum for house rent for said Lynch. Such rent is to be paid quarterly. Said Lynch is to keep sober, agrees to use no intoxicating drinks during said time. and if he becomes intoxi- cated at any time during said time is to forfeit sl0 for each offense to said Russell If said Lynch wishes to keep COW, MT Russell keeps for s30 year Said Russell agrees to furnish said Lynch his flrewood standing in the woods for sl0 per year and if Lynch uses MT Russell's team to get his wood, MT Russell agrees to furnish MT Lynch his team in exchange team day for Lynch a day. Lynch is to use only reasonable amount of wood for the comfort of himself and family.
 Said Lynch agrees to perform such services as said Russell may require to the best of his, Lynch's ability throughout the 365 days of the year doing such labor and chores as may be necessary on Sunday. said Lynch having the privilege of going to church on Sundays during the sum- mer season if he can do so without detriment to the interests of said Russell. but all necessary chores anc labor on Sunday are to be done at all events. Said Lynch is to respond cheerfully to the call of Russell at any and all hours of the day and night during said time for the per- foTmance of any duty or labors said Russell may direct to be performed Mir Lynch agrees to submit to a re- duetion of s1 per day for each and every day. Sunday included. he is absent from duty or fails to do his chores. Said Lynch agrees to sub nit 10 a forfeiture of s1O if he shall at any time during said term be- come angry towards Mir Russell and use pTofans. threatening of abusive language towards said Russell s10 for each and every onense.

The Roosevelt third term talk is in
 the same general line that it has
 been for the past two years, says Washington correspondent. The pre- sident has not. made any further an-
 nouncement of his position. Every
 politician who comes into Washing
 ton, however, has something to say
 on the subject, and there is a general
 report of overwhelming Roosevelt
 sentiment" all over the country. This
 is supposed to be particularly true
 in the north and middle west. Now
 these gratuitous interviews may be
 looked on with some suspicion. The Roosevelt sentiment may be there, all right, but the interviews are given out almost without exception for req sons that are personal to the, inter- viewer. In the weak districts, where the congressman know that they were carried into office under the shadow of the Roosevelt coat tail, they feel that if he were nominated and elected again, they would stand much better chance of succeeding themselves than if there were new Richmond in the field. Then on the other hand there are a number of men who are violently opposed to the Taft candidacy and who figure that if the president could be forced to some public expression in the matter, there would be more chance of de- feating Taft. AS it is, the Taft man. agers are also worried because they find it very hard to get delegations instructed for Taft while there is any possibility of Roosevelt being the nominee again. Regarding the real possibility of the president accepting third nomination, it may be said that it is distinctly against his per- sonal wishes. Nearly eight years in the White House is enough physical | ly and mentally to make any man, however rugged his constitution, wish | for rest. He knows that he could | be elected to the senate, to the gov ernorship of New York, to the presi- ! dency of any university, or to any other job that he wanted, and also that after a term out of the White House, he could come back for re- election if he so desired. There has never been a case on record of a man refusing the nomination of the presi- dency if it were offered, and if the convention should be stampeded for Roosevelt, there is question wheth- CT he would decline. But he is an un- conventional person, and he is liable to do anything.

gress. Although the number of es- tablishments has not increased ma teriaHy, the capital invested has in- creased twenty-one fold and the val ue of the product nearly fourfold. As the construction of iron and steel ships has grown in importance since 1880, capital has become more essen tial to the development of the in- dustry. During this time the altered conditions, the rapid transition from wood to iron and steel construction, have produced progressive concen- tration of shipbuilding in large es- tablishments. In 1880 the 2,1SS es- tablishments involved an investment of 20,979,S74, and, including re- pair work, gave an output of $36,- S0O,327. Twenty-Five years later nearly six times the amount of capl- tai, $121,623,700, invested in about one-half the number of establish ments, 1,097, gave an output valued at $s2,769,239.

The government reports on crop conditions this week are quite up to expectations, indicating that while in no instance will any of the great crops establish new records, they are, nevertheless, much above the average and are in dollars and cents worth to the farmers more than some crops that have established records. writes Banker Clews. The corn yield which from the stock market stand point is the main crop-promises to exceed two and one-half billions of bushels, which, while something like 400. 100000 bushels less than the final harvest report of 1906 has, nev- ertheless, but thrice been exceeded; the spring wheat promise was curtail- ed less than seven million bushels by the unfavorable weather during Aug ust. and as the winter wheat harvest is already assured it is quite conser- yative to approximate the total wheat harvest for 1907 at 631. 1.764,O0O bushels. which compares with 735.- 000,0 bushels in 1906, but is, nevertheless. a good average of re- cent haryests. The cotton crop situ- ation is also showing that there will be a good supply for export. so that from the agricultural standpoint there is slight justification for predic- tions of reaction. Secretary Wilson estimates that the farm products will be worth between $500. .OOO,U and s1 .O00. 900, ,0OO more this year than last. and last year they were officially reported by MT Wilson's department at S6.50O.000. .OOO. It is significant also that railroad returns are keep ing up with remarkable tenacity.

Congressman Lilley has sure enough stirred up a hornets nest in his tirade against the navy yards of the country. His whack at the graf ters has brought forth the following from the New Haven Register: Tn time of national peril there is no malefactor so readily condemned to death as the traitor. In these days civil peril hangs constantly above us. Hence may the judgment to death of the civic traitor meet with general approval The murderer takes a single human life. The graf ter takes that which supports hu- man life, and worse than that, he prostitutes citizenship and sets an example which may corrupt thou sands of citizens" The Register editor must have in mind the buying of votes when it speaks of the pros titution of citizenship. And yet there are a whole lot of good republicans who believe 1t is legitimate busi- ness. Isn't ex-Governor Bulkeley on record as being in favor of paying a decent sort of a price for vote if it cannot be secured in any other way? Waterbury vote getters of the re- publican party, of course, are not vote buyers, and Congressman Lilley couldn't have the purchase of voters in mind when he spoke of hanging grafters. It is sincerely to be hoped that such a law will not be put on the books. for some otherwise pretty good fellows might go to an early and untimely grave.

Baltimore PreIate Is Roughly Handled

Baltimore, Sept. 19.-Cardinal Gib- bons was seized forcibly and shaken by a crank in the street after the prel- ate had refused to give the man mon- ey. Policemen and others rushed to the assistance of the aged cardinal and dragged the man away. But for the interposition of the prelate the beggar would have been roughly dealt with. He will probably be sent to the work house as a vagrant.
 The cardinal was walking downtown when the man approached and solicit ed aims. The fellow by his appear ance seemed to be an imposter of the worst type. and the cardinal passed on.
