II appears that of the fifty.ane' com

from the secretary. who explained that
the failure TO make reply did not indi-
cate that efforts were not made TO
give relief to the complaining insti-

The secretary says that in order to
save time the telephone frequently
was used and by that means New

were asked t. furnish help where
it was required. Responses by these
banks. the secretary says. were gener-
ally prompt and liberal.

les to supply currency were. he saws

HEARD IN PASSING.

So accustomed have the voters ot the country become to the political meeting that candidates for office find that they must stir around the country. We shall soon have all, ,oi the presidential candidates swinging around the circle. Perhaps some day the old fashioned marching torch light clubs will be revived.-NeW Haven Morning JournalCourier.
 The Boston actor who murdered his wife and then hacked up hef body and started to ship it away in 8 trunk was about as fiendish crin- inal as Boston has presented recent. ly.

 To ascribe a light republican vote to republican belief that Bryanism is dead, and not worth working against is pretty far fetched. Any republf- cans who feel that way are not read ing the papers. Some one should wake them up. They will discover early in November that Bryanism was very much alive up to the time of closing the polls, whether or not it survives the effects of the count New Haven Register. --..
 To,l;Joto Tof@ F that the result of the Vermont cleo tion will generate a feeling of over confidence on the part of republi- cans. As the republican campaign thus far has been principally con- stituted of expressions of full conf dence, there may be some basis for MT Taft's apprehensions. It is not really a good policy to rely largely upon bluff and brag," it operates often in the wrong direction Bridgeport Farmer.
 Of course it is nobody's business but his own. still it is impossible that the fact that the richest man in the world limits his wedding gift to a young woman cousin to $50 must exite some comment. MT Rockefel- Ter, for it was he who committed the act. may have thought that it was best not to trust too much money in the inexperienced young woman who was making the matrimonial venture and the smallness of the sum, con- sidering the ability of the giver may have been entirely out of considera- tion for her best interests. Let us believe so-if we can.-Bridgepori Standard.

One of the old time popular airs There Was a Hot Time in the Old
 Town Last Night should prevail among the Lilley marchers tonight. Judging from all reports the pro- verbal cat and dog affair is nothing in comparison to the rumpus the members of the g. o. p. had in the Elm city. The Hon Joe Barbour seems to be no more choice in the
 language he uses than is the Hon George L. Lilley. After a heated de- bate with Committeeman Fyler, the hot headed attorney from Hartford closed the interview with the fol- lowing remark: If you nominate George Lilley there'll be hell to pay in this state " The funniest part of the interview was that in which Fly Ter being told that the manufacturers were against Lilley threatened to line up the labor vote against the manufacturers. Funny isn't it that Fyler and the republican party can lay claim to the labor vote. Wonder what the men themselves will have to say about it. It is a good demo- cratic year, and that party is wise in holding back until the republican fight has been settled. That is set tied until the voters get their chance

DON'T WANT LILLEY
Manufacturers Enter Protest and
 Pass Resolutions.

Pass Resolutions.
 New Haven. September 9.--In final effort to prevent the nomina- tion for governor of George l.. Lil- ley of Waterbury, fifty-three manu- lecturers and business men of Con- necticut, all republicans. represent ing invested capital of not less than $50, 900, and paying to employees In wages each year more than $l0,- O00,000, met yesterday afternoon In the Chamber .of Commerce hall on Chapel street. The conference lasted for about two hours.
 The call for the conference was sent out Saturday, and everyone in- vited responded. The chairman of the meeting was w. T. Rodenback of haugatuck, who is connected with J. H. Whittemore factories, one of the largest industries in the, Naugatuck valley, and the secretary was Charles S. DeForest of this city.
 The situation was thoroughly dis cussed and the general sentiment was that if Mir Lilley were nomi- hated Judge Taft would lose Connec- ticut. And 1t seemed to those pres- ent that a democratic governor would be preferable to MT Lilley. George s. Palmer of New London said:
 They ask us to take coin stamped spurious in Washington, and put the mark sterling on 1t in Connecticut. Gentlemen, it is asking too much"
 A set of resolutions was drawn up and committee of five with the chairman was appointed to go to Chairman Kenealy and the other re- publican leaders in final effort to prevent the nomination of MT Lilley. The committee consisted of w. T. Rodenback of Naugatuck, J. H. Whittemore of Naugatuck, George 5. Palmer of New London, w. Whit comb of Derby, Colonel Rutherford Trowbridge and Charles s. DeForest of this city. The resolutions fol- low:
 Whereas, it is feared that the re- publican state convention may nomi- nate George L. Lilley as the candi- ooNS iol 6oFSi HUI anu
 Whereas, the next congress is to discuss the tariff, and may so change it as to virally affect the business in terests of Connecticut, and
 Whereas, the national house of representatives has so overwhelming ly repudiated MT Lilley that his nom ination for governor would be a direct affront to the dignity and judgment of that body, and
 Whereas. the public record of MT Lilley is sufficient proof of his unfit ness for the office. therefore, be it
 Resolved, that we know that the civic conscience of thinking republi- can citizens of the state is stirred by MT Lilley's candidacy to depth not realized by our party managers; forecasting such determined opposi- tion as to compass his defeat at the polls,
 Resolved, that we solemnly pro- test against the nomination of Mir Lilley as inimical to the best inter- ests of Connecticut and disastrous to the supremacy of the republican party in the state,
 Resolved, that committee of five be chosen to present these .reso- lutions to our party leaders and to use all honorable means to prevent the nomination of MT Lilley."

What kind of young women do our colleges aim to produce?" Is an- swered in recent popular weekly by the presidents of Wellesley, Bar nard, Mt Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Western and Radcliffe. Such sym posium is very significant and mer- its the closest attention not only by thoughtful girls themselves and their parents, but by students offthe higher problems of education and by all interested in the future of the human race. But the student of genetic psychology. however he may ponder before taking issue with such an array of authorities, cannot fail, if he is honest and earnest, to protest at least In heart against the ideals of these symposiasts. First of all, not one of these splen, did spinster presidents even men tions the promotion of health as an important aim; and of three men, only President Seelye lays stress upon 1t. This 1 submit should bs paramount and needs unique atten, tion throughout the college course. The culture of bodily, nervous, men, tai, and emotional health and sanity is far more subtle problem for col, legs girls than for boys, and can be left with less safety to the care of a special department. Were I select ing a college for my girl, says G. Stanley Hall, the eminent phycholo- gist, in the September Appleton's. she should go where health in the largest sense was made most basal, It is not merely question of avoid- ing invalidism but of tiding girls. whose bodies are by the time they graduate ripe for maternity and have reached if not exceeded the age when, through the long, immemorial past, their forbears had entered upon the functions and duties of parent hood, over a period of delay and pro- bation and preparation fraught with grave dangers of psycho-physic de- terioration. The body and soul of the girl in the middle twenties cries out for love of husband and children As Tertullian said, as the soul of man is restless until it finds repose in God, so does the woman's nature find it's true goal only as queen of family. This, of course, the wo- mans college cannot guarantee, but it should, though it does not ade' quately, realize that substitution of I intellectual aims and even social ser. vice involves a great, though usually
 unconscious, strain by which few I women who are subjected to it re- main quietly unscathed. This is one of the roots of the health question of girl graduates, and thus there is r-to-be-forgotten sense, diff. fering of course very. much with diff ferent girls, in which the mental ac- tivities of college and preparation ] for independent careers are but con-
 solation prizes. .-.@f ! --

TO STOP HUSBANDS SONGS
Chicago Woman Asks. Injunction
 to End spouse's Serenades.

CncdgO WOmdH hSks hJanCIoA
 to End spouse's Serenades. An injunction to restrain a hus- band from singing love songs to his wife. through her open bedroom window is the newest wrinkle in Chi cago divorce court procedure. This anti-serenade injunction will be filed to-day before Judge Honore by Attorney Sydney B. Meyer, at the request of Mrs Anna Priebe Ryan, who objects, she says, to her hus- band, Charles F. Ryan, trying to win back her love with his melodious voice and rag-time songs at a. m
 After a separation of several months from her husband Mrs Ryan decided to apply for a divorce, and yesterday Attorney Meyer filed the petition, in which Ryan was charged with extreme cruelty.
 Mrs Ryan later went to MT Meyers office in the American Trust and Savings building and asked if steps co i'd not be taken to keep her hus- band away form her home.
 ''He sings so often to me-" she said, T can hear him in my sleep. Once I had him arrested, but he pleaded with me so hard, saying ne did it only to make me love him again, that I forgave him"
 The attorney prepared the injunc- tion papers, which will be offered Judge Honore to-day, restraining Ryan from approaching, talking to, telephoning, writing, serenading, or in any other manner molesting his wife.
 What does he usually sing to you?" Mrs Ryan was asked.
 I'm afraid he does not know but three songs, and those are Home, Sweet Home, I'm Afraid to Go Home in the Dark, and Come Down My Love-" she replied.
 'Why, it's just terrible" she con tinued. He comes to the house late and sings and sings until he arouses all the neighbors. One night while, he stood singing under my window they bombarded him with shoes, brushes = almost anything they could throw" , But how did you come to marry him?" was inquired.
 It happened so quickly 1t is hard to tell. I met him at the home of a friend The marriage occurred here in Chicago two weeks after I had been introduced to him."
 He must still love you"
 "Yes, he does; but those songs of his drives me frantic, and he was so cruel to me 1 do not care for him any more. e.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
