months after Bulkeley's election found Fessenden again a candidate for senator. It was said that Bulkeley and others who had opposed him ear Her in the session were just as bitter as ever in their opposition. After the canvass had been carried forward with much heat for two or three weeks, MT. Fessenden caused a sen sation by withdrawing His friends and supporters rallied to Brandegee, who had loyally supported Fessenden in the contest with Bulkeley and their help secured the senatorial toga for the New London man, and who was nominated on the 27th ballot Mclean was next in the race.
 MT. tessenden's health began to fail soon aft~r the contest in 1905. It was improved by trips to Europe and | by visits to health resorts ordered by 1 his. physician. For the last two or three years, however. his decline was rapid. He occasionally appeared in court often against the advise of his physicians and to the last kept in close touch with the work of his law

 Those who remembered Mir. Fes- senden when he was in the prime of his physical vigor were shocked at the change that came over him in the last couple of years. He lost over 100 pounds of flesh, and 1t was apparent that he was suffering from heart trouble in addition to a chronic kid ney complaint. Until near the last,

 Members of the bar and those who knew MT Fessenden best were aston ished at the industry of the man and the amount of work he could accom- plish without apparent fatigue. In the preparation of law cases he was known to work for 4S hours without sleep. He would appear in the superior court all day fighting some legal bat tie and take a run up to Hartford in the evening, apparently as fresh as If he had been resting Fairfield coun- ty never had lawyer who was more Keen Tn cross examination or who could wield as much influence with a jury as Mir Fessenden In addition to his work as state attorney. he had an extensive general practice and amassed considerable wealth

uers promise a number of semi-social
list reforms.
The strongest plea of the Independ-
ent Leaguers to the voters is to eman-
cipate themselves from professional
politicians. The Socialists propose to
establish municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, the expenditure of taxes
to furnish employment to the unem-
ployed, industrial schools and a gen.
eral reform of the entire municipality.
1t is conceded that the republicans
or democrats will elect nearly if not
quite all of the aldermen, although re-
cent agitation has introduced an ele-
ment of doubt as to the ability of
their candidates to defeat the Social
lists in wards inhabited principally by
workingmen.

A BIG WAGE REDUCTION
In New England-cotton Mills Are
Reducing Wages of Employees
Ten Per Cent.

Special to the Herald.
Boston, Mass, April Ga wage re
duction of 10 per cent went into effect
this morning in practically all of the
cotton mills in the New England terri
tory. Lowell, New Bedford, Fall
River, Manchester and the Rhode
Island mill towns are the places chief
ly affected. Approximately thirty
thousand operatives are affected in
Rhode Island alone.
The mills decided upon the reduc-
ton only after they had tried all other
plans for lettering the general con-
ditions in the trade, such as curtail-
ing the output, etc. What the dura-
ton of the cut is to be is, of course,
problematical, as no one can say
when the conditions will improve suf-
ficient to justify the operators in re-
storing wages to the old figure. At

ELECTION IN CHICAGO
One of Most Interesting Municipal
Elections In History Will Be
Pulled Off Tomorrow.

Special to the Herald.
Chicago, ILL.,, April Cone of the
most interesting municipal campaigns
in the history of Chicago came to a
close today. Though the election to-
morrow is only for members of the
board of aldermen, the contest has ex-
cited as lively an interest among the
voters as in years when mayor and
other city officials have been elected.
Five tickets are in the field, which
means that one hundred and seventy
five candidates are contesting for the
thirty-five positions to be filled.
The agitation for Sunday closing Of
saloons and other measures of reform
is chiefly responsible for the extraor-
binary interest manifested in the
election. 1t is believed that better
condition of things can be brought
about only by sending better men to
the council chamber and as conse
quence the reform element is working
with might and main for, the election
of men with clean records, while the

Special TO the Herald.
Independence, Mo-, April 6.-The
annual general conference of the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints began this morning
in the church here The reorganized
church, commonly called the Joseph
ties, are distinct from the Brighamites
of the Utah church, and there is very
little affiliation in a religious way
between the two bodies.
The conference was opened by
President Joseph Smith, who, with his
son, Frederick M. Smith, and R. c.
Evans of London, Ontario, compose
the first presidency, and are the pre-
siding officers of the conference. The
morning was devoted to opening GER
emonies and a sermon at II o'clock,

GOULD AND MILES

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, April 6-Interest of low
ers of tennis is now centered in the
annual tournament for the amateur
court tennis championship of Ameri-
ca, which opened today at the Racquet
and Tennis Club in this city and will
continue through the greater part of
the week. The tournament is exciting
more than ordinary interest because
Eustace H. Miles of London, former
champion of Great Britain, is to try
to regain his lost laurels. The holder
of the title is Jay Gould. Several
months ago Gould announced that be-
cause of his college work he would be
unable to defend the title which he
wrested from Miles year ago, but
subsequently he changed his mind. In
coming here it is believed the English
man is prompted more by desire to
turn the tables on Gould than any
special longing to regain the title,
which he has held on so many occa-

THE INSURGENTS W|NOUT
Republicans of South Dakota Are
Split and the War Is Being
Carried to Convention.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Huron, S. D., April 6.-Lively times
are predicted at the republican state
convention which is to assemble here
tomorrow to select eight delegates to
represent South Dakota at the nation
al convention in Chicago next June.
The republicans of this state are split
into two factions that are are as hos
tile toward one another as are the
rival wings of the same party in Iowa
or Wisconsin The struggle for the
upper hand has been waging for near
1y year, or ever since Governor Coe
/. Crawford announced his intention
to try for the seat now held by Al
fred B. Kittredge in the United States
senate The Crawford followers are
known as the insurgents" while the
Kittridge faction goes under the name
of the 'stalwarts." Each faction has
its choice not only for United States
senator, but also for state offices and
other honors within the gift, of the
party. The insurgents are of the
opinion that they have the battle al
ready won, but the opposition, while
somewhat discouraged, evidently in
tends to fight to the last ditch.
AS a result of last months prima-
ries the insurgents" will be able to
control tomorrow's convention. They
figure on majority of not less than
fifty delegates The "stalwarts" will
nevertheless have numerical
strength sufficient to put some ginger
in the convention proceedings.
There is no dispute over the choice
of president candidate. Both fac
lions have united upon Secretary Taft
for president, so that there is no
longer any chance for quarrel over
the national candidate But each fac
ton has been putting forth every eff
fort to control the first state conven-
ton for the prestige and influence it
will give in carrying the June pri-
maries for the nomination of senator
and state candidates. Control of to-
morrow's convention will not be de-
cisive of a second battle to be waged
in June, but the fact that the Craw-
ford followers were victorious in the
recent primaries gives them every
reason to expect that they will win
again in June.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.


Again ted
that death loves shining mark, for
on the 31st day of March, A. D. 1908,
he plucked from amongst us our dear
ly beloved frater, Eminent Sir Will
liam Edward Randolph.
He was made a Mason by Palestine
Lodge No. 81, A. F. & A. NJ, being
initiated November 18th, 1889; passed
to the degree of a Fellow Craft, De-
cember 10th, 1889, and raised to the
sublime degree of Master Mason, jan
uary 21st, 1890; exalted to the august
degree of the Royal Arch by Palestine
Chapter No.. 10, R. A. NJ
He was created and constituted
companion of the illustrious Order of
the Red Cross, and dubbed and Great
ed a Knight of the valiant and magma
nimous Order of the Temple by Pales-
tine Comamndery No. 8, Knights
Templar, on September 26th, 1890.
After filling nearly all of the sta
lions in the commandery, Eminent Sir
Randolph was elected Eminent Com
mander of Palestine Commandery No
3, X. T., on January 80, 1902. 1t was
while serving us as our presiding Off
Ger that we learned his true worth;
and it was then that he fastened us

time of his demise he was serving
Mart Chapter No. 273, of Mart, Texas,
in the capacity of its Most Excellent
High Priest.
Eminent Sir Randolph was a man
of rather retiring disposition, modest
and unassuming; patient, yet deter
mined; quiet, but as brave as a lion,
though possessed of a most forgiving
nature; truthful and honest, just and
courageous, and with all the simple
ity of true christian, he died in the
faithful performance of duty. He had
all those qualities which enables us to
hold him up before the world and
proudly exclaim, Behold here was
man"-and gentleman-but
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to call our frater from his earthly
pilgrimage to the celestial grand en-
campment; therefore, be it
Resolved, That while Palestine
Commandery No. 8, K. T., bows in
submission to an irrevocable law of
nature, it mourns the loss of a valued
member; but it realizes that it alone
does not suffer the misfortune, for our
country loses a grand citizen; his
father a noble son; his wife a loving
husband; his daughter most induI-
gent father, and his friends true and
faithful companion; therefore, be it
further
Resolved, That to his family we
offer our sincere sympathy, at the
same time reminding them HE is not
dead, only gone beforehand will
meet them in due time. And be it
further
Resolved. That a page of our rec

the streets. Much time was spent in
arguments over the appropriateness
of the names, for it seemed to be the
ambition of the committee that not
only the place of residence but the
character of the inhabitants as we'll
should be shown by the street names.
