One came from another world. He
went down Fleet street and saw the
weary, witless men who wrote daily Of
Nature and her beauties. He went to

their lot and signing for the town
He watched "sportsmen," who rent the
magnificent silences with the harsh
crack of rifles, and destroyed wanton

he met a philosopher

The primary campaign for
county officers is rapidly warm
ing up. Petitions have been
numerous the past week. Every
one who aspires to Office can now
"get in the game" The columns
of the press will be open to can
didates on an advertising basis.
The editorial columns of The
True Northerner will not be used
to "knock" or "boost' any can
didate for auy office. 1t will be
our aim to treat all aspirants
alike, and no partiality will be
shown, as far as The True North
erner is concerned. We may, as
the campaign progresses, men
ton the names Of the different
candidates for the several Offices
as a news item. but the campaign
proper will be conducted through
the press on business principles.
We have no bouquets or lemons
for distribution prior to the pri-
mary election in September.

He Wouldn't Set.

A Washington photographer, now
famous, told the other day how, in his
youth, he was practicing his art in
Cleveland when Mark Twain visited
the town to lecture. Impressed with
the humorist's splendid features, the
photographer, at the lectures end,
sent UP a note asking Mr.. Clemens for
a sitting. The reply that came back
was characteristic. 1t said "A sitting!
Is thy servant hen that he should do
this thing?"

A DECISION of Importance to

A DECISION of Importance to
prospective candidates was hand
ed down by Attorney General
Bird few days ago. There is a
provision of the law which makes
it unlawful for any candidate to
file more than the maximum num-
Der of petitions for a place on
the ticket, and the question was
asked as to whether a candidate
sending in more than the maxi
mum petitions should be barred
from place on the ticket and
his petitions refused. To this
the Encouragement replies that
the candidates petitions must be
received, but under another sec
ton of the law he is liable to
prosecution for a misdemeanor
in thus filing more than the re-
quired number of petitions. This
section of the law is intended to
prevent an "early bird getting
out and securing so many names
on his petition blanks that later
candidates might find themselves
unable to secure a sufficient mum.
Der to secure place on the ticket,
thus giving the first candidate d
monopoly. In Van Buren, county
the minimum number Of petitions
is 63, and the maximum 126.

MARROW ESCAPE.
Auto Car Nearly Backs into Rockville
 Mill Pond.

Rockville, Aug 24.-People who happened to be passing on East Main street in the vicinity of the Ameri- can mill about o'clock yesterday afternoon. quite likely held their breath for a few seconds, as an au- tomobile crashed into the American mill fence. knocking down a section and continuing as if it would back into the mill pond. Fortunately it didn't. as the machine came to a stop after the rear wheels had backed onto the overturned fence. the front wheels being partially held back by the eurbing. The machine belonged to Jacob Arbus. and as it was being driven over the coarse crushed stones where the roadbed is being maeat amized. something got out of order and the ear began to back down the hill. turned across the sidewalk and into the mill fence with sufficient force to knock over a small section. As the real wheels went over the re- taining wall at that point, the ma chine dragged on the ground. leav- ing the hind wheels clear. and this was what brought it to a stop. Mir Arbus had to get r. W. Bradley to raise the machine with jacks in order to git it clear. So that it would run by it's own power. It took about an hour to get the machine out. when it wss started up and ran all right for the rest of the trip.

STATE POLICE SHOOT.
Seized Liquors in Private Houses
 Where They Couldn't Buy.

Middletown, Aug 24.-The state police are roundly condemned here for their high handed methods in making liquor seizures, terrifying the Italian colony and shooting up one place where they met resist ance.
 The state police who made the raids were Merrill s. Louks of Hart ford, Frank Vierill of Bridgeport, M. J. O'Connor of New Haven and w. E. Jackson of Willimantic. Ac- cording to statements made by neighbors, last night, although the local poice refused to discuss the case. these state policemen went to the homes of five Italians and asked to buy beer or liquor. These were the houses visited: Pe- tro Melini, No Green place, Ales- street, Salvatore Mazzotte, No Al Court street, Tucci Mazzareno, North Main street. Donate Denofrio, No 97 Liberty street. Mazzotte and Denofrio keep small grocery stores and live over them. ilo one of them keeps a saloon, and the other places raided were the homes of the Ital- ians. At each place the state pos lice, who were in citizens clothes, asked to buy beer or liquor, and at each place the Italians told them they had none. to sell. and mona to give away. They admitted having beer in the house, but said 1t was for their own use. The police then raided the places and secured, soms beer. At Mazzotte's there were two cases of beer partly filled, and Mag zotte said the reason for its being in the house was that he had pro. vided it for friends who had att tended his sons funeral on Satur- day.
 After Melini had refused to sell beer to the state police they started to search his house and entered his wife's room, where she was in bed asleep. Suddenly awakened and see- ing three strange men in her room she screamed for her husband. He with friends rushed upstairs anc there was trouble. The state police tried to get Melini in wagon with the beer and Italians who had gath cred threw stones at them. Then the state police drew their revolvers and fired. Melini was hit in the feet, the sole of his shoe being rip ped off. Gaetana Rosso was sho. through the coat. the bullet grazing his side. He yelled that he was killed and an Italian near him threw a brick and hit one of the state DO. licemen who had dropped his pis> tol.

New York, Aug 24.-In the report just issued by the Intercollegiate SociaIistic society. of which J. G. PhPelps Stokes is president, 1t is said that chapters for the study of socialism have been formed in Har- yard, Princeton, University of Penn- sylvania, Columbia, Barnard, the New York university and in the New York University Law school.
 It says further: "Tle work of forming these chapters was placed in charge of Frederick H. Merrick for men, and the work of organiz- ing chapters in the women's col- leges WIS taken care of by Miss Mary R. Sanford and Miss Helen Phelps Stokes.

STERNBURG IS DEAD
Was German Ambassador 10 ihe UDited StateS =. Married a
 Louisville Woman.

Heidelberg, Germany, August 24. Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador to the United States died quietly in the hotel Vic- toria in this city about midnight last night. The Baroness who was Miss Lillian May Langham, of Louis- vile, Ky, was with her husband at the end.
 The baron and the baroness came here from Hamburg the end of last month to consult with Professor Vincenz Czerny, skin specialist concerning a malady from which the ambassador has been suffering for some time. After a prolonged ex- animation of the diseased part on the left side of Baron von Sternburg's head, Professor Czerny affirmed that the trouble was not cancer but a lupus and that he could cure it. Both the ambassador and his wife were im- mensely cheered at this opinion which was duly communicated to the foreign office at Berlin. A represen- tative of the foreign office came down here to see the baron and upon his return to Berlin the favorable news il is understood was transmitted to Eh peror William and forwarded to the German embassy at Washington. Baron von Sternburg is described as having felt that his long agony was nearly over, although he had suffered many disappointments with regard to his illness. His wife also shared the hope that he would soon recover. It had been arranged that the Baron should go to Berlin in September to be received in audience by Emperor William previous to his return to Washington. It was thought desir- able that the ambassador be at his post during the concluding weeks of the presidential campaign. No ar- engagements yet have been made for the funeral of the ambassador The baron's father who is eighty years old lives on the family estate near Dresden and it is possible that the burial will take place there. Baron von Sternburg left New York for Germany May 16.
