PLAIN JOHN SMITH.
How Ills Name Changes In Various

How Ills Name Changes In Various
 Parts of the World.
 John Smith--plain John Smith is not very high sounding; it does not sug- gest aristocracy; it is not the name of any hero in die away novels, and yet it is good, strong and honest. Trans ferred to other languages, it seems to climb the ladder of responsibility. Thus in Latin 1t is Johannes Smithus; the Italian smooths it off into Giovan- nj Smithi; the Spaniards render 1t Juan Smithus; the Dutchman adopts 1t as Hans Schmidt; the French fiatten it out into Jean Sheet, and the Rus- sian sneezes and barks Jonloff Shit towski. When John Smith gets into the tea trade in Canton he becomes Jovan Shimmit; if he chambers about Mount Hecla, the Icelanders say he is Jahne Smithson; if he trades among the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton Ca Smittia; in Poland he is known as Ivan Schmittiweiski; should he wan der among the Welsh mountains they talk of Jihon Schmidd; when he goes to Mexico he is booked as Jontli FSmitti; if of classic turn and he lin- gers among Greek ruins he turns to Ion Smikton, and in Turkey he is ut terly disguised as Toe Seef.-Phreno- logical Journal.

New York, Nov 7.-Charles w. Morse who yesterday was sentenced to fifteen years In the federal prison at Atlanta, thus far has proved a model prisoner according to the off cials at the Tombs. He has asked no special privileges nor has he been granted any, There is a prison rule that any inmate whose personal means will permit him to do so may purchase special food from a vendor attached to the prison or even have his meals sent in from the outside.
 But Morse has not ayailed him. self of the opportunities afforded by this rule. When the vendor visited his cell few minutes after he arose this morning, Morse sent him away With wave of his hand. A littl later when the regular prison fare was doled out to the prisoners the former multimilionaire accepted the two slices of bread and a tin dipper filled with coffee which were passed through the slot in his cell door. He ate every crumb of the bread, drained the dipper of coffee and had a cheery erecting fer his son Harry when the young man called on him early in the forenoon. Morse retired early last night and slept soundly until awak- ened when the bustle of the day con- menced.

A MEMORY OF THE PAST.
The Unalloyed Joy That Came With
 tho Little Red Scarf.

The UnalIoyed Joy That Came With
 the Little Red soarf.
 T was wondering the other day what one thing had given me the most pleasure in the world" said the village deacon. "I had to go back long ways-clear back into the blessed San ta Claus days-but I recalled it. It was scarf l found in my stocking one bright Christmas morning. l got q red one and my brother got blue one. I was a mighty proud boy that morning as trudged downtown with that red scarf around my neck. I wore it every day until the birds be- gan to sing in the springtime and the kids were hunting up their marbles. don't now remember who gave it to me nor what became of 1t, but do know that the memory of 1t still cllngs like benediction.
 Since the days of that little red scarf~I have had things of far more intrinsic value. I have worn lodge enihefns Of high degree; have had a gold watch and chain; I once had pair of shoes that cost $5 and neck tie that cost twice as much as the lit- tie red scarf Nay. more, I once tackled . plug hat. But among these things do l recall none that gave me such genuine and unalioyed pleasure, such a swelled up feeling, as did that little red scarf way back in the days when the wolf sat out in the road. and howled. 'Tis the little red scarf days that stir the memory with It might have been.' '"-Osborn (Kan) Farmer.

 Kellogg Spent siOO.

c. c. Comaerford, defeated repnb- lican candidate for senator in the sixteenth senatorial district, mailed his account of his election expenses to Secretary of State Bodenwein this afternoon. The account shows that MT Commerford expended $10.50 for printing little pamphlet and mail- Ing the same. He also sent letter to MT Bodenwein and State Comp troller Bradstreet stating that the next delegation from this state to congress should have the record of the submarine boat investigation committee erased from the minutes Of congress. MT Commerford said he considers MT Lilley's election as gov ernor vindication of his course in that investigation and therefore tho report of the committee is discredited by the people of this state and should be eliminated from the congressional records. MT Commerford has the credit of being the first to suggest action in this respect
 Attorney John P. Kellogg filed his, election bill of expenses to-day with the town clerk. While it states that he. spent not cent for his own elec-, tion as justice of the peace he chip-s ped in $100 for the success of the republican party of which he is a prominent member.

 burglar early to-day, but neither man
 was hit. Nearly three years ago MT Burnham went through a similar ex- perience, but then he killed one of the burglars. This morning the bur glar' alarm in Mir Burnham's house rang, and hastily getting into his clothes the station master went out and quietly crept up to the station and went into the cellar. He climbed a step ladder and pushed up trap door in the station and saw a man drilling at the safe door. Burnham shot at the man who returned fire and eacl his revolver. The burgla then jumped through window talk ing the sash with him. The glas must have cut the man as there wa a trail of blood for little distance Mir Burnham was safe as the burgla evidently jumped behind partition and poking his hand out shot a random, the bullets flying too hig In the air to hit the trap door, M gave the alarm and Deput.

Mozart's Skull,

If we were all constituted like Ham, let and could handle skull as philo- sophically as be-" writes sentimen- tallst in Hamburg paper, i've could visit the Mozart museum at Salzburg, enjoy the sights 1t offers and leave there without finding any fault. Un- fortunately. however, we are not so cold. and therefore the protest which make. Among the Mozart souvenirs which are pointed out to the visitor, in the same line with the old piano, let ters, manuscript music, portraits. etc, is the skull of the great master. It matters little whether the skull is really that of the composer or one used for show purposes. The fact remains that in the Mozart town, in Salzburg. there seems to be no one who can make the, city fathers believe that the exhibition demonstrates lack of rev erence which shocks many people,"

FROM GERMANY
Ewpsror William Bss Named a Man 10 Succeed Lale Baron
 Spsck von SierpbnrQ
NO OFFICIAL NOTICE

Berlin, Nov 7.-Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, who recent. lw has represented the German gov ernment in Egypt, has been selected by Emperor William to succeed the late Baron Speck yon Sternburg as ambassador to the United States. Countess yon Bernstorff is a daughter of Edward Luckemeyer. The an- nouncement has not yet been made formally but will be given out with. in two or three days. Count v0n Bernstorf has been assigned lately to Egypt. He was first diplomatic agent and consul-general at Cairo, but he was raised to the rank of minister plenipotentiary early in 1908.
 He is the fourth son of Count AL brecht von Bernstorff, who was dis tinguished contemporary of Bis marck, and he was born in London in 1862, while his father was German ambassador to the court of St James.
 The new ambassador began his diplomatic career in 1899 when he was made attache at ConstantinopIe. From Turkey he was transferred to the foreign office in Berlin, after which he advanced from one grade to another, serving in Belgrade, Dresden, St Petersburg and Munich He was councillor of the embassy and first secretary in London in 1902.
 While in London the count came especially under the notice of Em. peror William as result of his work in ameliorating the existing ill feel ing against Germany After four years service in London he was sent to Cairo. The count married Miss Jennie Luckemeyer in 1887. His wife was born in 1867 and the cople have two children. The Luckemeyer family left New York a number of years ago and settled in France, where the countess's father died this year.
 Count Ernst von Bernstorff, the founder of the collateral branch of the family, also had an American Wife. He was married in 1901 to Amerika Riedesel, Baroness Zu Els. enbach, who was born in New York in 17SO.
 Count von Bernstorff's daughter Alexandra is 20 years old. HHis son Christian is IT years old and is at school. The. new ambassador. to the, United States Is man above middle height, of slight figure and wears a blonde mustache. His knowledge of English is we'll nigh perfect and he Is known as a successful after dinner speaker and to be witty converse tionalist.
 The count attended the wedding of Prince August William in Berlin. Oc tober 22, and joined his family in Paris the following day. It was his purpose to leave Paris for Cairo No- vember 3, and it was presumed here by his friends that he had done so. It is not probable that the new am. bassador will be able to arrange his affairs at Cairo to arrive at Wash. lngton before the end of the year.

THE SMITHS IN TROUBLE.
Mrs Smith to Have Custody of Chil.
 dren.

Hartford, Nov 7-Benj jamin Smith and his wife, Eliza, live in Bristol. Smith is a Catholic and his wife is a Protestant. They have two chil- dren. One of them was baptized un- der the rules of the Roman Catholic church and the other was not. Whether it was a difference of reli- gious opinion that brought discord to the Smiths did not appear at the hearing before Judge Milton A. Shumway in the superior court yes terday, but, according to the testi- mony, they lived unhappily.
 While one of the children was baptized in the Roman Catholic church, Mrs Smith declared that she did not know whether the other child had been baptized. She admit ted that she was opposed to the bap- tism of the first child, because, being a Protestant, she did not know how to educate the child in the faith in which he was baptized.
 Mrs Smith has brought suit for divorce from her husband, and the case was before Judge Milton A. Shumway yesterday in the superior court Mrs Smith wanted to get custody of the children, and Smith who has had the children boarding in Catholic institution in this city, wantd to keep the custody of them Mrs Smith was a very nice appearing woman on the witness stand and her Husband also made good appearance in court. Theodore M. Maltbie and James T. Mather appeared for Mrs Smith and Benedict M. Holden for Smith.
 Judge Shumway decided that Mrs Smith should have the custody of the two children, pending the litigation between herself and her husband, and she will take them from the Catholic institution where they now are.

DENY STORIES
LlsuleDanl Colonel Ludlow Says There's 10 Truth h Story
 of ReveIy al Posts
ANNIS ORDERED OUT

New York. Nov 7.-Stories of rev elry in the United States army post at Fort Hamilton which followed dis closures made in letters alleged to have been written by Mrs Claudia Hains to her husband, Captain Peter Hains were denied to-day by Lieuten- ant Colonel Henry Ludlow who has been in command at the fort. Prac- tically every officer who was station ca at Fort Hamilton during the time mentioned in Mrs Hains's letters has been ordered to another, and in many instances distant post. It was when questioned with reference to the transfers of officers that Lieuten- ant Colonel Ludlow took occasion to deny some of the statements made in Mrs Hains letters. These letters were written while Mrs Hains was living in the officers quarters at Fort Hami:ton after her husband had been ordered to the Philippines If any investigation ever was made by the war department of the reported revelries here the investigation passed around me" said he. No one ever asked me question about it. That makes me more positive in my declarations that the revelations made by Mrs Hains had nothing to do with the transfers"
 Lieutenant Colonel Lurlow said he had issued an order to keep William E. Annis out of post after he had received warning from General Hains, father of Captain Hains that serious trouble might come if the men met. He told me he feared his son would shoot Annis" said Colonel Ludlow.

 Attorney James A. Peasley this afternoon started out hot foot after the assistant clerkship of the lower house of the state legislature. Half dozen petitions favoring him for the pos1ion are already in circula- tion among the lawyers and business men and they are meeting with a fa- vorable reception it is said He has the endorsement of the republican town committee, which is considered to be backing of the strongest kind. His opponent is J. Olin Howe.
 The new auto truck received its first test as a hill climber this after noo1 when 1t had to go up Willow street as far as Plaza avenue. A brush fire on the avenue near the Babcock home was very threatening and would have set fire to the house if the firemen had not been called. The auto more than flew up the hill. A short time previous to the brush fire the North Willow street firemen were called to. a small fire in Ca bless pumping station near the Cooke street reservoir. The damage was slight.
 Superintendent Wales of the Con necticut Street Railway announced this afternoon that because of the lack of water at the two power sta ,ions of the company at Bulls Bridge and Hartford, the trolley service in this city would have to be cut down. The changes will affect the shop peo- pie probably more than anybody else. The seven minute schedule on the Bank street and North Willow street lines beginning Monday will be cut out entirely. One-half the shop trips, morning. noon and night, would also be cut of. The shop trips to 0akyille and WaterviiIe in the morning and at night would also be eliminated St. perintendent Wales said that he had communicated with the steam roasl and that trains would bc run to ac the shop people. and that just as soon as the water power re- turned the old schedule would be re- sumed.

A LINGUISTIC ESCAPADE.
When Henry w. Lonafellow Shocked
 Intellectual Boston.

When Henry w. LonsfeIlow Shocked
 Intellectual Boston.
 In the original impression of Long fellows poem of "Hiawatha" there were found in the seventh book the three lines following:
 Straight into the river Kwasind
 Plunged as if he were an otter,
 Dove as if he were a beaver. ..r
 How this offending preterit passed the proofreader without protest Is one of those mysteries which have never been revealed. But the form certainly made its appearance and can still be found in copies of the poem which were regularly published and sold. Boston never received such a shock since the days when Fenimore Cooper insisted that 1t was only in the middle states that the English language was spoken in its purity But that attack came from an outsider Here the of fender was of her own household, was, in fact, her favorite son. What means of suppression were resorted to will probably never be disclosed. A myste- rious reticence has always been pre- served in regard to this linguistic esca- pade. The biographers of Longfellow appear to be silent upon the subject. Measures of some sort must. however, have been taken at once. Dove" was expunged, and the decorous "dived" assumed its place, and the whole trans. action was so completely hushed up that no public scandal was created. Let him who possesses a copy of that first impression continue to cherish 1t. Whatever may be It's worth now. the time will come when it will reach the value of the virtuous woman of Scrip ture, and its price will be far above rubies-Professor Thomas R. Louns. bury in Harper's Magazine.

Mystery of a Cookbook.

 "It takes goed deal to make me wonder" said the publisher, but received jolt in the culinary line the other day that set me thinking. In looking over the manuscript of cook book that had been submitted for our approval I was struck by this intro duction to many of the recipes, Good for boarding house table
 "Now, why that discrimination? Isn't anything that is good enough for a boarding house table good enough for any other table, and isn't anything that is good enough for any other ta- ble good enough for a boarding house table? Judging by the way those par ticular recipes read, they may result in some rather tasty dishes. Then why limit them to boarding houses" New York Globe.
