COLD WATER MEN.
Not Making Muck of a Fight in
 Campaign Yet.

If the so-called temperance men make good at the coming state cleo tion the saloon men will have to be up and doing to save themselves at the next session of the general assem- bly,. The cold water men have an organization in Waterbury, but its members appear to be shirking their duty. for the public hears very little about them. The saloon men don't seem 10 be worrying about the out come. but acting on the admonition that those who are forewarned should be forearmed, they are get. ting together, not to do anything contrary to law and order, they sa", but to protect themselves. The ay- craze liquor dealer in Waterbury looks at this question about right They claim that if there is Sunday selling it is because the law is nOI enforced and when one man sees his neighbOr doing business without molestatIon he is tempted to open mp and take in a dollar. The law is all right" remarked one of the deal CTS. but it is not carried out impar-  tially. If it were there would be DO such thing as one man being able to open Sunday while the fellow across the street can't sell a drink to a friend without risk of being caught. The temperance men and their pro- fessionaI speaker Mir O'Brien. should get after somebody besides the saloon keeper. who is trying to do things on the level. and finds Il hard sIedding.

A. 0. H. AND (. T. A. U.
Explanation of Statements Made at New Baven Convention.

The Rev M. A. Sullivan. writing to the Catholic Transcript in regard to the attitude of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America to the A. O. H., says:
 T wish to say word regarding the attitude of the recent convention of the c. T. A. U. of A. towards the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The impression has been made on the minds of some that the total absti- hence convention held in New Haven cast reflection upon the Hibernians and charged the entire society with the responsibility of an act said to have been committed by some of its members The truth is that nothing was further from the purpose of the convention than to reflect on soci- ety which numbers in its ranks So many honored members of the Cath ollie clergy and laity. The conyen- tion had high appreciation of the fine work which the Hibernians are doing for church and for country, and 1t is unjust to the convention to regard 1t as unfriendly or uncharlta- ble towards their fellow Catholics of the Hibernian order.
 "The flaming headlines of the newspapers have misled many in their conception of the work of the ing undue prominence to the remark of a single delegate-and this re- mark did not refer to the Hibernians as a whole, but to the alleged act of few members of a division of the order. Moreover, the matter came up in a casual way and was referred to as report and not as an estab- lished fact. But this statement of a report refiecting on few Hibernians was not allowed to pass unchal- | lenged. MT Dinneen of Boston, who | is good Hibernian as well as total | abstainer-it must be remembered | that a number of the prominent del egates of the convention were Hi bernians-made an eloquent state. ment of the progressive work of the Hibernians along temperance lines and his address was warmly ap. plauded by the convention.
 ''The fine showing of the Hiber. nians in their state parade will re ceive no heartier applause than that given by the members of the c. T A. U. of A. If 1t would be unjust tc hold the order of Hibernians re sponsible for the reported errors o few of its members, surely it is un fair to hold the convention of the c T. A. U. of A. responsible for the passing remark of single delegate which remark called forth an eulo gium of the Hibernians that received the warm approval of the conven tion."

EGAN DEFENDS MEN.
State Police Superintendent Ap-
 proves Course Taken.

PioNNs NohAst AohNh.
 Hartford, Aug 27.-Superintend- ent Thomas F. Egan of the state po- lice said that. as far as he could learn there was nothing in the con" duct of State Policeman Loucks in Middletown Sunday for which he should be censured. The case of Loucks will come before the police court in Middletown Friday.
 Superintendent Egan said that for some time complaints have reached him from Middletown that there were a number of Italians sell ing intoxicants without a license. and on Sundays. He assigned some of his men to visit Middletown and secure evidence of the illegal sell ing if there was any. The officers bought beer in five places, one of which was licensed, on Sunday Superintendent Egan communicat- ed with c. A. Pelton, the prosecut- ing attorney for the commissioner. of Middlesex county, and furnished him with the proof of the guilt of the men whose places had been wis, tied by the state policemen. .Prosecu- tor Pelton then sent Superintendent Egan search warrants, empowering his men to go into the buildings and search them for intoxicants. Super intendent Egan said he had no al- formative but to comply with the request of Mir Pelton. He could not have refused under the law to make the search. He sent Policemen T .,,at.. Nrirai1; nsCnunnr and lack son to Middletown to search fivo places for proof that the law was violated.
 Superintendent Egan says his men deny emphatically that there was any violence used in making the search and he says they are positive that they did not enter room in a house where there was a woman in bed.
 The policemen, says Superinten- dent Egan. divided themselves. Po- licemen Loucks and Jackson worked together. They put the intoxieanis seized by them in a wagon. A crowd of toughs assembled and became very threatening in their attitude. Stones and bottles were thrown at the officers and some of the crowd took hold of the horses head. So bold and daring did the toughs be- come that they took some of the bot ties that had been seized out of the wagon and threw them at the offi- cers. Policeman LOucks drew his revolver and fired. In the opinion of Superintendent Egan the state policeman was obliged to use his re- volver to protect himself and his comrade from the crowd. Superin- tendent Egan says. his men were as- sisted by Policeman Say of Middle town. who rendered good service iu quelling the disturbance.
 Superintendent Egan denied that his men had resorted to any subter- fuge or questionable method to se- cure evidence against the Italians who were selling unlawfully. They went into the places with the others and bought the intOxicants.

FERN LEAVES.
They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar tieles of Food.

They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar
 tieles of Food.
 The fern plant, which grows almost everywhere, is an excellent preserva- tive for packing articles of food, fruit, etc. People who have lived in Eng land know that the English have used 1t successfully for many years. Val uable fruit, fresh butter, etc, are no longer seen in the English markets packed in grapevine leaves, but almost always in fresh fern leaves, which keep the articles excellently. This is done where grapevine leaves are to be had in abundance. Every one posted well in botany knows the high preserv- ative power of fern leaves with refer ence to vegetable and animal sub stances.
 On the Isle of Man fresh hsrrings are packed in ferns and arrive on the market in as fresh a condition as when they were shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than others packed only in straw. Ex- periments made with both straw and fern leaves in the same cellar showed surprising results In favor of ferns. While the potatoes packed in straw mostly showed signs of rotting in the spring, those in ferns were as fresh as If they had just been dug.
 Fresh meat is also we'll preserved by fern leaves. It would seem as If the highly preservative qualities of fern leaves are due to their high percentage of salt. No larvae. maggots, etc, ap- proach ferns, as the strong odor keeps them away.-New York Times.

wHIsKEY BUT NO BREAD.
That's the Fare They Handed This
 Brokrn Major of the South.

New York, Aug 27.-Francis D. Walker. by his own word one time major in the Confederate army. having decided yesterday morning that he couldn't sleep fn the streets any longer, got a policeman to ar rest him. Tall. thin, courteous. he stood in the Adams street police court in Brooklyn and persuaded Magistrate Tighe to send him to the Blackwell's Island almshouse. where he might have medical attention and a real bed.
 Walker said that he was ss years old and enlisted as an 1S-year-old private at the breaking out of the civil war. that he was present at the taking of Fort Sumter and con- tinued In the Confederats service un- til the surrender at Appomattox. Since then. he said. he has been a clerk when he hasn't been drinking. and has lost all his friends except those vho think that 1t is the height of good fellowship to buy a fellow a drink and lst him go hungry and ragged

POLITICAL POINTERS
LiIIey's Friends Now Claim g
 Majority of Inc Delegates.

The republican caucuses last even- ing gave Congressman Lilley the towns of Windham, Southington, Waterford, Thompson, Eastford, Mid dlefield, Wallingford, Darien and An sonia. Lake got the delegates from Hartford and perhaps Chatham. The Hartford Courant's standing to date is Lilley 302, Lake 92, Woodruff 3S.
 All the democratic voters of the first ward are expected to be present at a meeting tomorrow evening at 473 East Main street, where dele gates at large will be named.
 The executive and advisory com mittee of the republican club will hold meeting tonight behind closed doors. There is something doing in the g. o. D. camp. There are more aspirants for political honors than can crowd into the band wagon and the management don't know what to do with them.
 The surprising unanimity of the small towns for Lilley as against Lake or Woodruff cannot in reason be credited to spontaneous popular uprising for the congressman in the | rural districts. It is plain that some body has been canvassing them, and ! doing it good and hard, while Lake 's friends were asleep, and Woodruf's position was undefined.

ADDISON COUNTY SITUATION
CLEARING.

The FREE PRESS recently called
attention 10 the fact that Addison
county had two candidates for the re-
publican nomination for the lieuten-
ant -governorship and that three of it's
leading republicans were being strong
~ mentioned" in connection with
Vermont's delegation to the republi-
can national convention, and we en-
phaszed the fact that political house
divided against itself could not stand
much chance OF securing any recogni-
conventions.
The first man to maze amov in the
interest of the promotion of the in
terests of Addison county is the Hon.
F. L. Fish OF Vergennes, who has been
assured strong support, outside Of his
county as well at home, in case he
became a candidate before the district
convention for election as delegate to
the national convention. Mr.. Fish is
ANXIOUS 10 dDSOlute HdTHlOHy
among the republicans of Addison
county and seeing an opportunity t,
greatly simplify the situation he has
generously determined to request his
friends not to further consider his
name as a possible delegate to the
Chicago convention.
We predict that the next few days
will see Mr.. Fishs example follow ed
by one or two other republicans in
Addison county with the result tina:
the county will not be further divided
| Mr. Fish is plainly entitled to the
thanks of the republicans of his coun-
ty for helping to make possible the
harmonious outcome of what promised
at one time to become a greatly mix
ed, If not disastrous, situation.
1t is interesting in this connection
to note that the relations between
Addison and Chittenden counties have
usually been close and republicans OF
the latter county are watching thu
situation in the neighboring county
with no small degree Of interest

lage of Peru. Besides its lumber, this
tract contains the head-waters Of sew
eral serviceable streams. Mr.. Hapgood's
idea Is that the tract be forever pro-
tected for scenic and water shed pur-
poses. with the government holding
the right to cut the forest as II sees
fit. In making explanation OF this
fine gift, the Bennington contemporary
says that Mr.. EIapgood assumes no
personal credit in the matter, except
for longsghtedness both as regards
his personal interests as we'll as the
interests of the community at large.
That our forests are really an asset
Of the community at large and ought
not to be dominated by mere private
gain is the position he takes. And
he maintains that they are legiti-
mate object Of confscation where pub
lie control cannot feasibly be obtained
otherwise"
BY transferring so large and valu
able tract Of woodland to public
control, Mr.. Hapgood will go long
way toward strengthening the forest
preservation movement In Vermont,
which, everybody knows, Is one of the
great needs Of the present day. Either
the forests must be protected entire,
or we must have scientific cutting.
whether the Peru land goes to the
state or the national government, we

GOVERNOR HUGHEs's POSITION.

The comprehensive and admirable
address Of Governor Hughes to the New
York Republican club Friday night not
only completely refutes the insinua-
tions Of those who sought to make him
out a partisan opponent OF progressive
republican principles and policies. but
It also stamps him as clcar-thinkins,
far seeing and courageous stateman.
He is proud Of the record OF the Re-
publican party and especially OF that
part made during the administration
of President Roosevelt. which to
degree almost unparalleled" he says
has impressed the popular magma
ton and won the confidence of the peo
pie"
Governor Hughes thoroughly be-
lieves in party government to enforce
and apply party principles. He be-
publicly professcd, and in honorable
obedience to the oath of office. He in
sists upon the highest degree of admin
istrative efficiency. believing that the
people are satisfied with nothing less.
The laws are to be firmly and impair
TALLY enforced. Attempts to make gov
eminent an instrument of selfish pur-
pose are to be constantly guarded
against. There must be no encroach-
ment on the common right no attempt
to further the interests OF the few ut
the expense of the many Rights of
property are to be sacredly preserved.
The unlawful acquisition of property
should be prevented or punished, but
property lawfully acquired must be
safeguarded Conditions of labor
should be improved and it's opportun-
ity enlarged. The constitution must be
observed in every particular, and the
will OF the people carried out
with reference to particular issues

the project is being we'll received.
In order to put the battery on a good
working basis twenty-five horses will be
needed, and inasmuch as the equipment
will be useless without horses. 1t Is
evident that the success OF this project
can not be too soon assured. A good
beginning has already been made,
Representative Maxwell Evarts, having
donated a handsome specimen of horse
flesh for the use Of the cadets, while other
prominent men have responded with
handsome subscriptions
An order has recently been issued by
the war department in Washington which
permits graduates Of Norwich Univcrsity
to enter the regular army as first lieu
tenants after they have passed an
examina ton which under the new order
of things embraces horsemanship. In or
der that the cadets may avail themselves
of this opportunity it is essential that
they be provided with horses and trained
in this branch Of the servico Another
consideration is that the equipment of
the cadets for this service will help to
round out Vermonts military depart

In some Of the counties arrangements
have been made with graduates OF Nor

WHEN Our LOVE BEGAN.

The year is young. but its lineage runs
To the dawn of tho far first day,
When the sun burst forth and the earth
was funs
on its splendid starlit wa.
And 80 with the love We feel but now
1t began In the earlier time.
Ere the souls OF men were garmented
In the flesh Of an earthly cline.
Twas there in the nom OF the primal
state,
In the world Of the truly real,
Our love was born, our souls were Joined
In union fast and leal.
We know It not In the sentient way
OF the passionate embrace,
For we had no ken OF mortal things
Nor the form OF mortal grace.
With the sweet d neet bewilderment
OF a first beatitude
We touched and passed in the whirling
throng
OF the spirit multitude.
Then sped our ways in the wilderness
or human destiny,
With only the feel Of fain caress
And mystic memory.
But ever we heard mating call
Ard ever we sang the note
Till the good God brought us eye to eye
And we spoke from throat to throat
Now nothing matters OF time or place
In mere mortality,
For the twain that loved in the Souls
estate
Are one for eternity
