JAMES J. HILLS OPINION REGARDING
: RECENT ACTION OF THE RAILROADS

Resentment, no. The commission can
not be blamed for enforcing the law The
Pacific trade was given up because IL did
not pay. America today has no flag on
the high seas. or might as well not have.
for we cannot compete with any other
country. and must hand the load over to
anybody that asks for IT. The only way
for us to continue in the Pacific trade
would be for the railroads to own their
own steamers and run them at a heavy
loss.
I'VE are not seafaring Walton. We
have no sailors though under the law
Americans must constitute two-thirds or
three-fourths of the crews. What we must
have to make an ocean carving trade pos
sible is not subsidies. but intelligent leg
STANDARDIZATION that helps instead of
hinders."

BLANKS FOR HUNTERS LICENSES
Those Who Secured Them Last Year E Must Have Them Renewed.

Blanks have been sent out from Hartford for the renewal of the hunters licenses which were issued for the first time under the new law a year ago. The licenses issued at that time are void after one year and 1t will be necessary for all hunters to renew their licenses before going into the woods. The plans to license the hunter is harbinger of the fall sea- son. The fee for resident hunters is $1.10 for recording; $l0 and re- cording fee of 25 cents for non-resi- dents and sl5 and fee of 25 cents for aliens. The new law has at least one very pleasing feature and that is the protection which 1t affords game birds from aliens, who often shoot indiscriminately.
 Game wardens about the state last year strictly enforced the law which requires higher license fee from an alien and they are expected to do so again this year. The law does not permit the shooting of game birds be- fore October 1, so the hunters have ample time to take out new licenses but the state has prepared to supply them early this year Last year, on account of the law being new one 1t was rather late before the licenses could be procured.

THREE OLD VETS"
Major BaDDon One of Trio Who Met al Torringion.

Torrington was honored. yesterday when reunion of three veterans Of the civil war was held there. The men that formed the party were Ma jor Charles R. Ramon of this city, Colonel E. M. Knox of Ridgefield and Major Albert F. Brooker of Torring- ton. Colonel Knox is the well known hat manufacturer, Major Brooker is one of Torrington' most prominent citizens, while Major Bannon needs no introduction. In addition to the three veterans there were present Mrs c. R. Ramon, Mrs Knox and Mrs Knox, Dr A. c. Thompson and wife, the latter daughter of Major Brook CT. The party dined at Conley's Inn after which they were entertained at Major Brokers house. Colonel Knox was in the 18th Independent New York battery, and received medal for his bravery at the battle of Gettysburg. Although about the same age as Captain Ramon he is a comparatively young appearing man and could pass for about 30. Major Brooker was in the 1st Connecticut and also saw much service during the war, while Major Ramon of the 1st Connecticut did such yoeman work for the union army that at one time he was highly complimented by Sec retary of War Stanton and was grant ed thirty day furlough. It had been forty-four years since Colonel Knox had seen Major Brooker but it was only recently that he had met Major Ramon in New York. "Reminiscences of the war kept the party highly in terested during the afternoon and be- fore departing the trio made plans for another meeting in the near future.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS CASES.
Study of Bafiiing Disease Being Car
 ried on by Massachusetts.

On account of the large number of cases of infantile paralysis that have been reported in the state re- gently, many of them being in Wes.- ern Massachusetts, much interest Is being taken in learning the nature of the disease in this vicinity, ana the state board of health is conduct ing a thorough study of the malady and its causes, with view to devls- ing ways of checking it in the indi' vidual. The disease is known to be contagious, but the means of trans hitting the germs, or the nature or the germ, is not known. There are three stages in the course of the disease, first the fever stage, then the stage of paralysis, and lastly the stage of apathy or wasting of the part of the body affected. The actual paralysis comes as a result of an acute disease consisting of the inflammation of the motor nerves, or gray matter, of the spinal cord. The fever stage develops very rapidly, sometimes in 36 hours, and on account of this fact it is thought that the infection comes through the blood supply. The inflammation of the motor nerves is thought to involve the nutrition of the nerves. Some are of the opinion that the germ that causes the disease is breathed into the system with the air, and others that 1t is introduced through other channels. but, what: ever way it takes for entering, it is known that it eventually seeks out it's special field of action in the spinal cord among the motor nerves.
 As rule some form of paralysis follows the fever stage and usually a single set of muscles are affected. Sometimes limb or an arm will be- come paralyzed as result of the fever period, and sometimes an arm and leg on opposite sides. Afte, the paralysis sets in the part of the body that is affected generally shrinks and wastes away. Some times with careful treatment the use of the limb can be partly recov~ cred, but this result is infrequent
 The name 'infantile' is probably de. rived from the fact that the disease that causes the paralysis is most ire quent among children under 4 years of age. Cases of the malady are found infrequently among persons up to 20 years of age. but almost never after that. As a rule there are few cases of the disease report ed in the course of year, but once in a while an epidemic will break out in a certain locality. In 1894 an epidemic broke out in Rutland, Vt. and before it could be checked 119 cases were reported. Of these cases s5 patients were under years or age, and Is died of the disease. Death is not caused by the paralysis of organs. but by the intensity of the infec ion, the poison spreading through the system. A small DOT tion of the cases result in death. Re. gently an epidemic of the disease was experienced in Shelburne Falls
 with several fatalities, and lately many cases have been reported in Western Massachuset S. The sick. ness that brings on the paralysis takes a hold on the victim much the same as any other acute disease might. Severe headaches are expert
 enced and a high fever is developed rapidly.-Springfeld Republican.
