roo MICH FOR THE BOY,

The Episcopalian bishop of a New England diocese was about to make his annual visitation to the parish of q country rector. In the latter's family was an obstreperous boy, whom the father thought to bribe into good be- havior while the bishop was the guest at the rectory.
 So the anxious parent told the small boy if he would behave well while the bishop was there the following spring the father would buy the boy pony and cart. The boy promised.
 The bishop arrived, dinner time came and the first course was oysters. The bishop said his doctor had told him never to eat oysters for fear of getting typhoid fever.
 The second course was soup, but the bishop made answer; This is most unfortunate, but my doctor sas told me never to eat liquid food.
 The third course was salmon. The bishop again refused, as his doctor had forbidden him to eat fish on account of ptomalne poisoning.
 The boy could stand 1t no longer, and cried as he looked at the bishop: Give the old guy an egg; you can keep your old pony and cart. Boston Herald.

rection in our government, our business and our homes.'
 So says the Governor of Connecticut in his Fast Day proclamation, and all the people of the State should give heed to his well-chosen words. The country has been prosperous. Much money has been going around, and almost every body has had some of 1t. Many have waxed fat. It is time for Fast Day. and a genuine one. Those who have been anxious to see Fast Day abolished as a useless day may well now try to make the coming one what it should be. There is need of it. In the hurry, the excitement and the glamor the real ities have been obscured and ignored by too many.

 thee lies! To left and right full many a path

MT. Bryan went through New Haven yesterday, only stopping to say a few words to few faithful friends while his train was waiting here. He is com ing back here later to say many words to many faithful friends. And they ought to be interesting words. They probably will be. Much has happened since he came out as a conservative, and not a little of it justifes his con- servatism. Something, is happening right now which may perhaps justify Illim in being even more conservative than he used to be. He is of course still friend of the people, but per | haps he. won't be as ready to advise them to attack capital as he used to
 be. Attacking capital has, in the opin- ion of competent judges, been so done and overdone that there is going to be large bill to pay most of which will come out of the people Of course MT
 Bry9A wont be conservative in, his de- nunclation of bad capitalists. but he may have good words to say for the constructive ones.

A sign of the times is that more than fifty prominent citizens of Chicago, who are frequent passengers on the New York Central and Pennsylvania flyers" between their city and New York, have petitioned the railroad authorities to in- crease the time from eighteen to twen- ty hours.
 This is more pleasing than surpris- ling, Awhile ago it would have been surprising. People then had strong notion that if they could get anywhere faster that was tho way to get there. They are not So sure about it now Railroad men still say that fast trains are no more dangerous than the slower ones but they seem so to the people. Whether they really are or are not it is encouraging to see any subsistence in the speed-mania Perhaps the time is coming when people will really not care to be hurried around and back and forth as they have been. When that time comes it vii be much safer in the streets, and even the automobile own- CTS and drivers may find that they can enjoy themselves without being thrilled and shocked

NOT HERE.

All kinds of enterprise these days. Al firm of engineers in Chicago proposes to build good roads up to an accepta- ble standard, for any town, city, county or State, and to do so at its own expense. To recoup itself after having built the roads, toll gates are to be established at certain intervals and the constructing engineers are. to take the toll till they have received back their moGey, plus fair per cent, of profit, after which the roads will be- long to the town city, county or State for which they were constructed and the recipients of the roads will have the improved highways without having paid cent for them, Those who have used them will have paid and if the new owners desire they can continue taking of toll at least for enough to keep the roads in proper repair.
 Nobody in Connecticut wants the toll gates back, and we are rapidly getting system of good roads which is not excelled in the country. So the in genious plan of the Chicago engineers wont commend itself here.

Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but w, T. Stead announces that he has been around Europe, as he went in 1898, sounding the opinions of various governments on the question of arma- nlents at the approaching Hague conference. While the English-speak- ing powers are insistent to include that question in the programme, he finds the declared opinion of Germany, France and Russia to be that the limi- tation of armaments is not al present ripe for solution. The conclusion he reaches is that there will be practical unanimity among the governments as to the impossibility of forbidding the discussion of armaments at the con- ference. and an absolute unanimity as to the impossibility of arriving at any practical decision as to what should be done"
 Wouldn't wonder if that was about right. The civilized peoples are not quite as much in love with war as they have been, but they are not quite ready to convert their weapons into pruning hooks and ploughshares,

A photographic device that will call the police by telephone adds new hazard to the dangers of the burglars profession. When an attempt is made to force a window or door with which the proper connections have been made an electric current operates a pi1ono- graph in the garret. The machine calls up central and asks for the police sta- ton. The photograph then informs the officers of the robbery, giving street and number. and repeats this informa- ton as long as the receiver is down. Meantime the intruder, all unconscious that an alarm has been rung in, virtu- ally walks into trap, and, if the call is promptly responded to, is soon in the lookup.

CENTRAL FUND FAVOEED.
French Episcopate Discusses Means to
Aid Church.

PARIS, January 14.-Having decided in
advance to adhere to the recent papal en-
cyclical the work of the French episco-
pate, which meets tomorrow, will be large
Iy confined to discussing the practical mat
tiers involved in the condemnation of the
amended church and state separation law
and the benefit which can be obtained
from the public meetings law of 1901
The question of the church's resources
will be uppermost, and the cardinals and
some of the bishops, who were again in
session today, have virtually resolved to
recommend the establishment of u central
fund in all doceses. 1t Is doubtful. how
ever. whether the legal plenary assembly
will approve the reorganization of the
seminaries as superior theological schools
in accordance with the law of 1875, under
which a number of them already have
been reopened.
The Petite Republique, while 1t does not
publish the text Of the documents asserts
today that Mgr. Montagninis papers prove
that the papal nunciature was constantly
dabbling In politics and had regular rela-
lions with the opposition deputies and
senator's and members of the t.gitimist
and Bonapartist parties and was in CORE
spondence with Emile Olivier, the ex-
minister of Napoleon Ill
The paper also says that it has proof
that through the Portuguese government
the government of France learned that the
yatican's circular previous to the visit of
ex-President Loubet to Italy, was not
Identical In its wording in the case Of all
the powers.
