TAKES DOWN sIGN
Gompers Suspends We Don't Patron-
 izc" in EederatiOnist,

New York, Dec 29.-The Central Federated union received rom ftes | ident Samuel Gompers Of the AmN '- can Federation of Labor letter VI which he notified the unions that oN account of the application or tha sherman antitrust law to the unions in the decision of the United States supreme court in the LOewe hat boy cotting case and the imposition or q fine of three times the supposed damages he had decided to dlscol- tlnue, by advice of counsel, the we Don't PatroniZe' list in future mum bers of the Fedora tionist until an ef- fort could be made to get congress to amend the Sherman law in such a way as would eliminate the labor unions from it's antitrust provision.
 On the suggestion of the chair man the Central Federated union de. cided to suspend it's unfair list for . time.
 The C. F. '. made special order of business of the decision handed down by Judge Wright of the su- preme COurt of the District Of O.
 umbia declaring President Gompers, Vice-Presldent Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Fedora ton of Labor guilty of contempt Of court for violating the injunction ill the Bucks Stove and Range Co case and sentencing them to terms of i'm prisonment of one year, nine months and six months respectively.
 Socialists and nOn-socialists were entirely in accord in denouncing the decision and declaring that Gompers and his associates were loyal citizens and had done no wrong. After long debate a committee of thirty was appointed to arrange for mass meetings all over the city to take place simultaneously in order to de termne what action will be taken.

ELSIE RAYMOND DIES.
Victim of Saturday Morning Fire
 SuccumbS in Hospital

Hartford Dec 29.--Death yeSter- day afternoon ended the sufferngs of Elsie Raymond, the young woman who was severely burned early Sat urday morning in the fire in the re- sort at No 30 Ferry street. The con dition of Gabrielle Chenaud, who was badly burned al the same time. as was Samuel Benson of Deep River is more hopeful, and last night it was believed that they would recov- CT.
 Little is known of Elsie Raymond Raymond is not believed 10 be her right name and as near as the au- thorities at the Hartford hospital could learn, her home was in Marl- boro, Mass, but they were unable to learn if her parents are living. She was 26 years old. The body will be held for day or two and, if on rela- tives are found to take charge of it, it will be buried at the expense of the city.

There are few spots along the line that will need some attention, but in the main the road Is now one of the best In the state.
 Derby has already started the work along Housatonic avenue, and north from that place there are but few grades that will need eliminat- ing
 It Is said that men all through the state have expressed their desire for the road, and 1t seems probable that a measure looking to this end will be introduced in the next general assem-. bly,.
 Those who have travelled over the route mentioned know that it has scenery unexcelled anywhere in the world. for quiet beauty. and 1t is hinted that the road will not stop when New Milford is reached but be continued, from time to time, the eventual aim being to pass through the entire state into Massachusetts.

PROPOSED TRUNK LINE.
From Bridgeport to New Milford
 Perhaps to Berkshires.

For some time past it has been | evident that State Highway COmmis- sloner Macdonald was meditating some definite scheme of good roads, says the Ansonia Sentinel, and his well known belief in trunk lines" has led many 10 think that q scheme covering all the width of the state was in the mmissioner's mind
 From what seems to be reliable sources there has come to the notice of the Sentinel facts that seem to in dicate that this section of the state will be chosen for the cross st ate boulevard, as has been tentatively stated by the commissioner in speeches he has made.
 lt was stated 10 q Sentinel repre- sentative a few days ago that the scheme Is 10 commence the road al Bridgeport and passing through Stratford, to follow north along the banks of the HOusatonic river, on what Is known as the River road t. this place. Here the proposed lin will cross to the Derby side of th@ river and follow the present highway very closely clear through New Mil ford. The road will be made Ct macadam and gravel as there is quantity of both material all along the route mentioned For the most part of the way a gravel road will De built, 1t Is said, hardened where necessary, and where this is nor feasible macadam construction will be employed. The route mentioned is one of the most picturesque in the state, and offers the least obstacle to the project. Commissioner Mac donald is reported to have said that this route lies along the garden DOT tion of the state, and it is one where little in the way of serious grades is to be encountered.
 The fact that engineers are already at work making a careful survey Of the road south from the borough line to Barnum avenue in Bridgeport shows that some move in this direc- ton is intended and the fact that there is already a vote of this town, on record. calling for the improve ment of Howe avenue south to the borough line, shows that the com missioner is alive to the ease with which the proposed line may be con- structed as far as this place.
 AS matter of fact there will be little to do from this place to Bridge port to place this section in fine trim.

A,TURNER MASTERPIECE.

 or all Pictures by the great English color poet, Turner, none is more popu- lar than thAt which now graces theI London National gallery under tho name Of Ran, Steam and Speed" which was first exhibited in 1s44. It is impossible to, reproduce this ade- INuately.
 Concerning the origin of this picture Hpskln furnishes aQ interesting tale. The story was told tG him by a friend, Lady simon. It seems that she was traTeling one night inN the early days of the Great Western\ \rallway from Exeter to London. "Wheh had taken off my coat and smoolheG my rufiied pumes\ \and generally settled myself" she tellsA"l looked up to see, the most wonderful eyes l ever saw, steadily, lumnouslS, clairvoyantly, kindly. pa- ternally looking at me. The hast was over he forfhead, the mouth an@ chin buried in tha brown velvet coat collar of the brown greatcoat. We'll we went on, and the s6orm went on more atd more until we reached Bristol. where we waited ten minutes My old genA tleman rubbed the side window with his coat cuff, in valn He attacked the center window, again in vain, so blur red and plotted was it with the tor rents of rain. A moments hesitation and then, Young lady, would you mind my putting down this NwindowT
 "'Oh, no not at all
 "'You may be drenched, you know
 "'Never mind, sir
 Immediately down went the win dow and out went the old gentbeman's head and shoulders, and l said. 'oh. please let me look
 "'Now, you will be drenched,' b. re monstrated. But he half opened the window for me to see. Such a night, Such q chaos of elemental and artificial lights and noises I never saw nor heard He drew up the window ss se moved on. leaned back for aoms with closed eyes, then opened them and said, Well, I have been drenched. but 1t was well worth it
 He nodded and smiled and again took to his steady but inoffensive De rusing of my face. The next year. IN think 1t was, going to the academy, I turned at once, as I always did, to see what Turner's there were. Imagine my feelings. There stood written Rain, Steam and Speed Great Vest ern, June, 1S43' had found out whom the seeing eyes belonged to. AS stood looking at the picture I heard e mawkish voice behind me say:
 "'There, now, just look at that! Amt 1t just like Turner? Who ever saw such ridiculous conglomeration" turned very quietly round and said: I did. I was i'll the train that night, and it is perfectly and wonderfully true After that I walked quietly away Helen Zimmern in Metropol- Itan Magazine.

Blizzard in London.

London, Dec 29.-The snowstorm which visited the British Isles Sun day last continues to-day and in some parts, particularly in the north, it has assumed the proportions of a blizzard.

konao Natives and Their Dead

Tn the matter of preserving bodies for burial Kongos, after the usual binding in cloth, keep them for two or three months In their houses, where & fire is kept burning, but in Zombo they are suspended on two forked sticks in dugout vault in the ground. which Is covered over with palm branches and earth" says a mission ary. Sometimes the body is placed under a specially built grass roof in the open. This is not considered burial. and some years ago they brought out for a big funeral feast and dance the body of an important chief that had thus been preserved for over twenty years. In other districts the dead are thrown away into river or into the bush to be devoured by jack als and yultures."

AMERICANIZING PANAMA.

Although there are some who con-
tend that the Panama Canal will
never be a success-that the cost of
it will be about twice what would be
actually needed for private corpor-
alton to accomplish the work, that
there will be another Panama scar

vlsed, there are other men who ara
going quietly about their work down
Oh the little neck of land which keeps
South America from slipping entire
" away from her more stalwart sis
tcr-continent, and among the things
which these men are accomplishing
is the Americanization of Panama.
1t will be interesting from a mere
" chronological standpoint to observe
the development of the people of
this little republic as they improve
and prosper through the mere rub
bing of elbows with American energy
and American methods as eXempli-
fled in the building of the canal. If
Panama can rise to stability and
prosperity it will show to all the
world that the United States is justi-
fed in claiming the guardianship
of the Central American bad children

cally entitled.

tition among the school children of
Colon for which he gave as prizes
three gold medals for the best essay
upon the United States, and prize
of SIS in gold for the best declama-
ton of prose or poetry by an Ameri-
can author.
In addition he has announced that
he has at his disposal two free schol-
arships in a college at New Orleans
which will be awarded to the two
students of the Colon district who
can write the two best essays on the

Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your
letter in regard to any legislation
that will exempt the owners of min
ing claims in our state from doing
the usual 500 assessment work on
such claim during this or any other
year. | do not think that such legis-
lation will be passed, sIsalso note the
opposition of the club to the parcels
post system as advocated by the post
master general. | am opposed to Il
general parcels post law at this
time. 1t might be that a local par
cells post, one that would simply per-
nit rural carriers to deliver parcels
originating on the route, would be
of advantage. AS | understand it.,
this is practically what the postmas-
ter general advocates, but | am OPP
posed to any parcels post law that
would permit railroads and other
common carriers to carry parcels.
Yours truly,
