OUR AERIAL CoBwEBs.

Those who watched the heroic and timely rescue of Lineman Jackson on Center street Tuesday afternoon by his fellow workmen, and the members of the fire department, can have nothing but praise for all concerned This was an example of the many kinds of work the flremen are called upon to do oc- casionally, which has nothing to do with fires and which they may be de- pended upon to perform with charac- teristic dispatch and precision The unfortunate lineman owes his life to- day to the fact that his rescuers did not hesitate to endanger their own lives to save his His own herosm, in retaining his self possession sufficient ly to lower himself rung by rung down the aerial ladder, in spite of his many extremely painful electrical burns was nothing less than spectacular
 That there are not many more such accidents as this may be considered fortunate. The remedy may be thought to lie in greater caution on the part of these men, who have elected this dangerous calling as their means of earning living. But that remedy will never meet the situation, The danger of handling electric wires of high potentalty is dangerous enough under the most favorable cir eumstances but it is far more so when the artisan has to climb fifty or seven- ty-fve feet in the air up slim pole,

whore his foothold Is none too secure at best, to get to his work, Such an occurrence as. that of Tuesday after noon on Center street Is another forceful argument in favor of placing every electric wire In the city under ground, be 1t used for lighting, tele- graph, telephone or trolley purposes,
 When wires are put In suitable con dults, Just below the street pavement, there Is little chance that any work man will receive shock The men then work on the wires in the we'll known, brlcked-up, wells at the street corners and, if anything goes wrong with them, they may be easily reach ed, With the underground wires, be- sides, there is much less changing of the wires then when they are strung on the street poles, For many differ ent reasons street poles or overhead wires have to be changed, A change In the situation of the pole on which Llneman Jackson was working was necessitated by the repaving of Center street now going on,
 If only looked at from the aesthet- lc standpoint, there ls no reason why any corporation should permanently Impose upon the city to the extent of dsflgurIns It's streets with their wires If they are given permission by the city to string wires they certainly can and should be made to put the latter out of sight at the earliest possible moment. If looked at from the standpoint of safety, the necessity for such action becomes only the greater. Not only are workmen's lives endan- gered, but the lives of pedestrians, and the safety of traffic and adjoining property Is endangered in various ways. In New York they have not pandered words with the corporations that need to use wires. There over head wires have been summarily cut and as result. the concerns have been unable ta give any service till they went to the trouble and expense of putting the wires underground. New Haven has forced some wires un- derground on some streets. The time has come to compel that on all streets with all wires and it should not he necessary to have more accidents like that of Tuesday to make that necessity apparent.

He meant quite well; IL was perfecly well meant, But the elephant just grabo.d him And then slung him through the tent In the ground he made a dent- Oh, a big one--where he fell. He put peppen in the peanuts, But he meant quite well. He meapt quite well, And he broke no moral law When he gently pushed his fingers Up against the moving saw, When he took away his paw He let out an awful yell. Now he signs his name left-handed, But he meant quite we'll
 He meant quite well, He had not a thought of harm When to meet his correspondents He went gayly from the farm. Though he turned In an alarm There was nothing he could tell He had lost his hard-earned money But ne meant quite well.

 He has never since been seen. But the sexton tolled his knell And his family wore mourning, For he meant quite well.

Our esteemed con temporaries tell us the Providence Journal and the Springfield Repub- lican Live just far enough away to be out of touch with Connecticut sen timent and not far enough away to get a good brd's-eye view" As for the New York Sun, which holds to the same beliefs, 1t Is professional old "knocker" anyway.

VERY APPROPRIATE.

We have read with very great inter est on account of the convention of the republicans of the twenty ninth sena- torial district to elect delegates at large 10 the approaching republican state convention. All of the town dele gates were present but one and his sub stitute was made chairman of the con vention. which gives new point and substance to the well known under standing that the first shall be last and the last first. Resolutions were adopted affirming the faith of the con vention in the candidacy of Judge Taft and Congressman Lilley after which the town delegates with few friends ad- journed to the Hooker house. in Willi- mantle where they sat down to din ner" as the guests of State Senator Charles A. Gates. Before partaking of the excellent spread" writes the faith ful chronicler, Rev c. W.
