1t has been asserted that tomatoes
are an uncertain crop in this part of

LABOR IN DEMAND
Farmers and Lumbermen of Eastern Connecticut in
 Need of Help.
GOOD WAGES OFFERED
Farm Products of State Have Faiieh on fin Recent Years for Lack
 of Men.

Putnam. Feb. 17-With the de- mand of idle men for employment all over the east the farmers and lum- bermen of eastern Connecticut hope 10 see the stringency in the labor market disappear this spring, for they nave been sorely pressed the past two years to get men enough to work their farms and lumber mills. Wages for farm help has never been higher than they were the past season. and the m ducements held out failed to attract men from the cities. The sawmill op- orators in Plainfield, Voluntown, Gris- void, Pomfret, and in fact all over Windham and Holland counties are unable to secure men. to run their plants at full capacity, The present scale of wages is from SIP to $l5 a week. The farmers offered as high as $50 week and found last season, and with the seed time almost at hand they are still worried over the pros pect. The amount of farm products fell off greatly last summer because the farmers neither could get help to plant in the spring nor assistance when it was time to cultivate. With lessening demand for help in manu- featuring centers the farmers look to an Increased number of good men who have a liking for farm work

MATTERS IN COURT
Judge Roraback Advises Law yers to Settle Widman
 Case.
LIQUOR HEARING DATES
News of the Probate Courts-The Late
 Harry Hyman Was In- {. solvent

There was only one suit in the court house yesterday and that was Case vs. Widman before Judge Alberto T. Ro- raback in the superior court. The case was a hearing on an injunction which was granted against MT. Wid- man some time ago. The affair con concerns some woodland at Rocky Mount, which is near Mt Carmel. It was described in this paper several days ago. MT. Case sold the farm to MT. Widman some time ago. He claims that he reserved the right to cut lumber on a part of it. A fort night ago he went to the place with his partner, MT, White of Hartford, and attempted to get some wood and some hay which he claimed he had a right to and which were on the Wid- man farm He and MT. White were frightened away by a man named Sul- livan, who was the Widmans' hired man, with gun which he threatened them with. A writ was served against the Widmans, but when the officers of the law went to the place to serve it they were threatened by. Mrs Widman with gun. A charge of resisting an officer is now pending in the Hamden courts.
 Yesterday Mrs Widman was on the stand She said under oath that she fired twice in the air at the time men, tioned, but without intent to do the men any bodily harm An Italian named Martel was kept on the stand for some time. He is the foreman of lumber crew that worked for Case.
 Just before court adjourned Judge Rorahack advised the attorneys to get together and come to some conclu- sions, if possible, as to what each of their rights were in regard to the wood and the hay, He said he him self was inclined to believe that cer- tain lumber rights had been reserved to the purchaser, Widman, at the time of the purchase. He thought the hay undoubtedly belonged to Case. The judge said if the attorneys could not come to conclusions he would de- eide their rights for them in the best manner possible. Attorney Fitzpat- rick appeared for Case and Attorney Slade for the defendant
 In the same court this morning the first case will be that of Mailhouse vs. Cheney which concerns the prop erty on Elm street, which is a con tinued case from last week.

Hyman Was InsOlycnt.

In the probate court yesterday Attor- ney Jacob Goodhart, for Mrs. Matte Hyman, executrix of the estate Of the late Harry Hyman, made representa- ton that the estate was insolvent and asked that commissioners be appoint ed. MT, Hyman died about six weeks ago and Walter Leigh and Joseph Johnson were made appraisers of his estate. which consisted largely of a clothing business.
 Ii was found that his clothing stock and cash on hand combined to make $30,000 worth of assets. Mrs. Hyman as executrix says that claims against the estate have since piled in so fast that she is sure that the estate is practically bankrupt, hence the appli- cation yesterday for a commission. February 21 has been set as time to determine whether the commission is necessary.

Roosevelt would be interested in learning of the similarity because of being a college man. who has studied the classics, and especially because he had made for himself some reputation as historian. Consequently he said he wrote the President to that effect, never expecting that his letter would ever get farther than the hands and the convenient waste basket of Sec retary Loeb.
 Two days later, however, he receiv- ed the answer from President Roose- velt already referred to. It read as follows:
 "Mr William H. Hackett,
 New Haven, Conn.
 Dear Sir-I very deeply appreciate your letter and thank you for sending 1t to me.
 sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 It is quite to be expected now, in spite of the fact that MT.

PHILIPPINES BURIAL CUSTOMS.

Since his return Secretary Taft has been kept busy telling of his varied ex- periences during his notable trip. Among other things, he was impressed by some of tho burial customs of the Philippines which in some instances are somewhat akin to pigeon-hollng the dead There is indescribable pathos in the funerals of the poor The moth CT, smoking a pipe, carries the iittie pasteboard coffin covered with colored cotton Behind her are several children presumably the surviving members ot her family, and except for the comm she carries on her head. there is noth- ing to indicate that a burial is about to take place. The fact that the child death rate in the city of Manila Is so heavy makes 1t evident that the little ones who survive the climate there are in small proportion to those who die and the poets argument that Loss is common, doth not make our loss the less. but rather more appears to he somewhat disproved by the Filipino at titude toward funerals.
 The interment of a rich m3n Is quite different: there is much pomp and a brass band plays II has been grimly stated that the favorite tune on these occasions is "There'n Be q Hot Time an air always associated with America bE the Filipinos. Dixie" and 'Hiawa- tha'' are also popular airs for fun eral. and have served to enliven many a ceremony of this nature. Funerals in the Philippines appear to he re- garded as a sort of public spectacle and day when one or two such gor- geous functions do not occur is regard ed as dull period in Manila.-Joe Mitchell Chapple, in the National Mag azine.

etv on it, the same as the most hum- ble citizen uses on his letters.
 To explain the letter MT. Hackett said that he had been reading in hook called The World Famous Ora tions." edited by William Jennings Bryan, the presidential candidate mentioned, an oration ascribed to the great Athenian orator Pericles and said to have been delivered to the Athenian people by him in 430' R. C.. shortly after the great Peloponnesian war with Sparta. The oration was written out from memory by the great litterateur of the period, Thucydides.
 In the oration Pericles mentions certain attacks which had been made mon him because it was claimed, he had brought the Peloponnesian war on the two greatest Grecian cities. He said he felt sure that whatever he had dcne was for the right and he was not for a moment deterred from his beliefs now. that there was evid- ence that all were not in complete ac- cord with him.
 In one place in the oration Pericles said: For he who knows a thing that is right. but does not explain if with clearness is no better than if he never had a conception of it and he. again, who Aas both these requisites but is ill-affehted. toward his country. could not so well speak for her interests
 MT. Hackett said he had felt at the time he read the oration that it was analogous 10 n great degree, with the recent message of President Roosevelt to congress when after he had taken definite and nOt-at-all-uncert7in steps against predatory vealth, lll.goiier fortunes. bad business methods of great corporations and other evils, he had been deserted and criticized hy some who have heretofore been en- thusiastica1lY for him It had occur red to him that very possibly MT

AGAIN ON RAMPAGE
Cable Breaks and Gives Carman
 Narrow Escape.

City hall seems to have a run of hard luck lately. Yesterday the eleva- tor got itself into trouble again, and the clock acted rather foolishly.
 1t was quarter to twelve when John Carney was making an ascension to the second floor and was nearly to the landing, when tho elevator stopped with jerk that would loosen the teeth of a saw. A man was sent for from the Bishop Co. and it was found that the door cable was done for. Tnspec- tor John H. Quinlan. when he examin- cd ii several days ago had noticed it was badly worn but thought it might last for while.
 The cable was then cut and here the excitement started. John Carney was in the elevator as it shot down the shaft and landed on the roof of the car with a crash that brought every one from his office Johnny came out unhurt, but the falling cable had only missed his head by a hair.
 The clock is not so seriously i'll. but only 8 little tongue weakness. for yes terdsy it refused to strike four and struck five at quarter past four.
