 Judges of the superior court"
 The meaning of the above is that there will be hearing on the charges of corrupt practices brought by MT Fox against MT Lilley on the date named. It is rumored that the hear ing will be public and most sensa- tional and that more than one candi date in the last state election will wish MT Fox in the warmest corner his imagination can suggest before the trial is over.
 Martin Parkinson of the republi- can town committee will be called upon to explain what part a barrel of pickled pigs feet took in the cam paign in the fifth ward, who paid for them. and who ate them, where the feast took place and under what cir are a new feature in politics in Wa terbury so far as known and it is of the greatest importance to know under whose auspices they made their debut. It will make all the differ ences in the world if the were in troduced to the boys through the medium of Mr Liley's pOcketbook, or through some avenue suggested by NIr Parkinson as a member of his party town committee from the fifth ward. If they figured as a cOntri- button from some individual or as an offering from the beef trust will make considerable difference in the wind up.
 What seems to be puzzling the minds of many is how Mr Lilley eX- pended only $23.OOO in campaign that was fast and furious and with out comparison, leaving no possible stone unturned to effect his winning, while his opponent Judge Robertson was scarcely heard of in the cam paign and yet he expended $33.000.
 Clifford Els, the reputed political agent of Abner P. Hayes will figure ill the examination, for he is said to have expended money illegally to ef- feet the election of Mr Lilley.
 Everybody. lawyers particularly. believe the investigation will result in tremendous amount of good to the whole state. and some of them are of the opinion that an effert will be made at the coming general as sembIy to make the spending of money in a political campaign a criminal offence further than what is nece: SarfIy expended by the state. They say that in the present condi- tiuu of politics in this state rhe at tdiumeut of any high office by d comparatively poor man is out of the question and it is against all Ameri- can principle of fair play to place any public ofIice beyond the reach of any honest man by the expenditure of mOnel
 Those concerned in the charges are not speaking for publication. Neither Mr Lilley. Mr Parkinson. NIT Els will say one word further than that they have nothing to say about the matter When the investigation begins it is quite likely that each will have the best counsel money can procure. It is significant that Mir Fox. according to report. was obliged 10 go outside the state to secure a lawyer to present his case. while on the other hand MT Lilley had no trouble in finding counsel He has retained Colonel l.. F. Burpee and At torney Stiles Judson of Stratford. the latter being one of his counsel in

Football and Brains.

When tender-nearted Public Opin-
ion laid a restraining hand upon
American football in the interest of
safety, lovers of the game wasted a
lot of good tears. Last years radi-
cal change of rules has brought a
lessening of danger, but it has pro-
duced also what only the wise old
gridiron veterans foresaw, a revolt
ton in the game itself. From a
narrow, restrained battle of beef
and Drawn the great American col
lege sport has become a free, open
contest, in which strength, skill, and
genuity are blended. The bull has
been invested with the cunning of
the fox.
This revolution was not imme-
diate, and it is not yet complete.
In 1906, the forward pass, the on
side kick, and all the moves permit
ted by the new rules were tried gin
gerly and with grave shaking of
head guards. This year more of the
teams adopted the new plays and
used them successfully. There is
still much to be desired, but no one
who watched the tactful, ingenious,
varied play of Yale, Princeton or the
Carlisle Indians last fall can doubt
that the old game of football has
sustained conclusion of the brain,
a wrenched kneecap and a broken
collar bone.-Success Magazine.

CHEERS FOR GOMPERs.
Labor Leader Appears to Have Lost
Nothing in Popularity.

Denver, Nov. 9.@The popularity of
President Gompers was attested when
he rose to call the convention of the
American Federation of Labor to or
der this morning. The delegates ap-
plauded Mr.. Gompers for several min
utes, before he was able to make him
self heard
In his address in response to the
address of welcome, Mr.. Gompers was
frequently applauded as he told of
the progress being made by the labor
movement and the delegates were es-
pecially enthusiastic when Mr.. Com
pers declared that the efforts of the
federation were not only for the
benefit of union labor, but for un-
organized labor, and for all humanity
as well.
The committee on credentials made
a long report assigning the number of
votes which each delegation should
have in accordance with the constitu-
ton. There are 375 delegates in at
tendance. Only three contests were
reported. These are from the Elec-
terers and the Bottle Workers union.
The report of the committee with
the exception of that portion in regard
to contested delegates, was adopted
and the convention took up the three
contests. A special committee of five
was appointed to hear the electrical
workers contest and consideration of
the other contests went over until af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Gompers himself valves the
subject of the opposition to him aside
by saying that the federation will Sc
lect the man best equipped to lead
it to further successes and declares
that should he be retired, he will still
remain worker in the ranks. He ad-
mits there is opposition but asserts it
is confined to matters of policy affect
ing localities only. "A strong card in
Mr.. Gompers'S7 favor now is the fact
that several of his bitter opponents
of socialistic tendencies have failed of
election as delegates to represent
their own unions at the present meet
ing. The annual report of President
Gompers which deals at considerable
length with his So-called political
stand, as we'll as other important
matters affecting the federation will
be read tomorrow The cities seeking
the next convention are st. Louis,
Toronto. Detroit, Mobile, Tampa and
Washington.

CANNED PIG SQUEAL.
Only Thing That Went to Waste Made
to Have Commercial Value.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-An inventive genius
has discovered that there is money in
a pigs squeal
That which the late P. D. Armour
said was the only thing that went
to waste at the stock yards now has a
commercial value.
Millions of dollars worth of squeals
have gone to waste because it was not
known what use to make of them. But
now that their real value has been dis
covered the public will have to pay for
squeals just the same as it pays for
the hams, the loins and other parts
of the American porker.
Last Saturday man carrying a
camera and a machine for making pho
nograph records presented himself at
the stockyards and asked permission
TO take some pictures for use in fve
cent theater to illustrate a pictorial
slide that is to be entitled "A Day at
the Stockyards.'
"I will first take a set of moving
pictures" he said, land then 1 will get
a record for the phonograph."
The man proceeded to can the squeals
of hogs hoisted to death in the shack
ling pens.

The man whose first play was hissed
and who then wanted to go to America
to seek his fortune, died rich and hon
ored with the proud title of Frances
greatest and most prolific contempor-
airy dramatist.
Victorien Sardou was a man possess
ed of singular charm and was greatly
beloved and there is universal regret
that he left no memoirs. He was born
in Paris, September 7, 1881, the son
of Leander Sardou, an educationalist
and the compiler of several publica-
tions At first he studied medicine but
was obliged in consequence of the en-
barrassment of his family to give pri-
vate lessons in history, philosophy and
mathematics. He also made attempts
in literature, writing articles for sew
eral reviews and for the minor jour-
nails.
His first comedy, produced in 1854 in
the Odeon, then the second state thea
ter, proved a complete failure. He
then wrote the comedy, Les Pattes
De Mouche," which was produced with
great success in 1860. and subsequent
ly adapted for the English stage un-
der the title of "a Scrap of Paper" At
the age of rs Sardou witnessed the
production of his latest drama, 'L'Af-
faire Des Poisons." at the Porte Street
Martin theater. This play, which has
to do with the infamous poisoning ex-
isting under the reign of Louis XIV
and which was presented for the first
time on December last, is still running
to crowded houses.
