BURNS ONLY |, HAS ENDORSEMENT
Labor Bodies Are Behind Him Because He Is Com potent. {

Members of the Board or Aldermen who are being asked for their votes by candidates for the office of assist ant building inspector. have asked several of the applicants if they have the endorsement of the journeymen who comprise the Masons' Unions. The union has been informed that two of the candidates have represented themselves as being friendly to the union and that they had the endorse ment of the organizations, although they were not members. An official of the unions stated this morning that the only candidate for the place who had the endorsement of the Stone masons union, the Bricklayers and Plasterers' Union. and the Central La bor Union was Thomas F. BurnI. He said further that every man in the city connected with macon work, whether an employer or enploye, union or non- union, would agree that Mr. Burns did not have a peer in his trade in the city, and the reason that the organizations were back of him was because of his cOmpetency alone.

What's In aIabeI. q

There is a good deal of art in adver Using, and it has to be adapted to the public 1t seeks to meet. Edward Reeves in Brown Men and Women makes clear that what attracts the American market may not serve that purpose in the islands of the south seas. He tells an experience which a food firm had with one of those sea girt com mmunities. The natives get very tired of fish, but are fond of canned beef, which they buy when ever they have money. That they are nothing more than children in their ideas the traders find out to their cost if they are not careful. An exporter of canned meat was nearly ruined by clinging to the trademark of a drag on's head Shipment after shipment was sent out from San Francisco, each can branded with the flaming dragon. The natives shuddered at the sight of the hideous thing. They were not go- ing to eat the disgusting beast. In vain the agents tore off the labels; the natives were suspicious and would not buy. The whole shipment had to be returned and put in fresh cans with a fat OK or sheep on the label. All the natives fully believed that the figure on the label was & true picture of what was inside.

AIi SGI ~.st..STS.

The negroes of Africa are simple and direct in speech. It never occurs to them, writes MT. R. H. Mu1igan in ''The Jungle Folk In Africa" that the purpose of language is to conceal thought, and to commiserate the Afri- can for his color is a waste of sym pati1y. In illustration of this Mr. Mill Hgan gives an amusing conversation with one of his pupils. One day when I was talking to Bojedi something in the course of the conversation prompt ed me to ask him whether he would like to be a white man. He replied respectfully but emphaticany in the negative. wished to know his req son. He hesttated to tell me, but I was insistent, and at last he replied:
 "Well, we think that we are better looking"
 I gasped when thought of the vast 1y i'll looking faces had seen in the tungles, and in apology for myself I said:
 "But you have not seen us in our own country, where there is no ma laria and where we are not yellow and green.''
 He quietly asked what color we were in our own country, to which prompt 1y replied, Pink and white'
 Looking at me steadily for a mo- ment, he remarked:
 'Mr. Milligan, if should see you in your own country I don't believe I should know you"

REFORM POSTAL
 BILLS PUT IN
Henry Introduces Two for James l.. Cowles-Con- necticut River Power Bill in Again.

Washington, April 3.-Congressman Henry has introduced in the house two bills at the request of James l.. Cowles. of Farmington. the secretary of the Postal Progress league. One bill is to reduce the postal rate on fourth class mail matter to one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. instead of one cent an ounce, as at present.
 The secPnd bill is for a parcels post on rural routes. On parcels up to one twenty-fourth of a cubic foot or one by six by 12 inches and up to one pound in weight, one cent: on larger parcels up to one-half cubic foot or six by 12 inches and up to Il pounds in weight, five cents; on larger parcels up to one cubic foot or up to the di- mensions of the ordinary suit case, a box six by 12 by A inches or of the ordinary peach basket and up to 25 pounds in weight 10 cents. No parcel shall be over six feet in length and in no case shall carrier be obliged to transport a load of over 800 pounds.
 Congressman Gil1ett, of Massachu- setts has reintroduced the bill to in corporate the Enfield Power company which was originally presented in tho house last May. The title of the bill is. "To improve the navigation of the Connecticut river between Hartford and Holyoke and to develop water power in connection herewith
 The bill is, of course, opposed by the Connecticut members of congress and it has no more chance of passing now than it did a year ago.

Revenge In Ceylon.

A system of Cingalese "black magic'' peculiar to the island is still practiced in some parts of Ceylon. It is stated that there are 4,44O different methods of causing i'll to others. Here is a translation of one of these methods of dealing with your enemy:
 "On Sunday eleven peya"-one peya equals twenty-four English minutes "after sunrise Yama Devi'-the god of death and judgment-''goest to the west. Start at this hour; take a meal of bluish rice; dress in red colored gar ments.
 ''Take root of ginger at the time of the zodiac of Aries; write on it the name of your rival, charm it 1OS times, wrap it in a golden colored cloth and place it in your waist.
 "When you meet your rival, look straight into his face and break the root in your hand. Within nine peyas he will be killed by an elephant, and when seven months elapse six other persons of his family will meet their doom."-Ceylon National Review.

Long Minded Preachers.

Dean Lefroy, who expressed the opinion that ten minutes is long enough for a sermon, would have met with scant sympathy from some di- vines of past centuries, says the West minister Gazette.
 Thomas Hooker considered three hours 8 fair average allowance for a sermon, though, on one occasion, when he was i'll, he let his congregation off more lightly. Pausing at the end of fifteen minutes, he rested awhile and then continued his homily for two hours longer. Cranmer's sermons were each small book when set up in type. and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin rarely reached Lastly, my brethren" 1" under two hours.
 George Herbert once said: 'sThe par son exceeds not an hour in preaching, because all ages have thought that a competency" but a certain rector of Biibury, Worcestershire, was of an- other opinion, for he never sat down under two hours. The squire, we learn, usually withdrew after the text was announced, smoked his pipe out side and returned for the blessing.

MAumhfa Piaw

Originally the term humble pie" carried no opprobrious meaning The pie was one made ont of the hum bles" or "nurubles," from the Norman French "nombrils"-i. e., the entrafls of deer. To this day it is highly es- teemed in Scotland and in northern parts of England. So late as the time of Pepys tumble pie" was served as part of the menu of a gentleman's ta- ble on an extraordinary occasion. Some writers. derive the contumelious use of the phrase "te eat humble pie' from an alleged custom of serving tumble pie" below the salt, or at the second table. But this is not supported by authority. It more probably came into use simply through the similarity of sound, there being no similarity of meaning whatever between the noun umbles or numbles and the adjective humble.

DATE SET FOR
 LABOR HEARING
Labor Leaders Arranging Mammoth Delegation to Favor Boycotting Amend noent

Delegates from the Central Labor bodies in every city in Connecticut will attend the hearing to be held April 13 before the Judiciary committee in Hartford, on the proposed amendment to the law relating to intimidation and iboycotting.'
 For the first time in the history of labo1 legislation in Connecticut a bill before the Judiciary committee of the Legislature has had a special time set apart and devoted to it.
 Sol Sundheimer, representative of the joint committee of Labor of the State, was the advocate of the meet ing on April 13. Notices have been sent to every labor organization in the State relative to the law and asking as large a representation as can be sent. Sundheimer has started in nak- ing a tour of the State on this mis- sion.
 This proposed amendment to the laws is one that the labor party thinks fair to both labor and capital. In a nut shell, it is proposed to make the law on Intimidation and boycotting such that ''what is legal for one man to do is legal for two men to do.' they ex- plain.
 The whole afternoon of April 13 from 2 o'clock will be devoted to a hearing of the proposed law.

The Law of Gra~itstion.

In 16O9-seventy-seven years befora the publication of Newton's "Princi- pfa" = Shakespeare in the play of 'Troilus and Cressida," act 4, scene 2, makes one of his characters say: Do to this body what extremity you can But the strong base and building of my
 love
 Is as the very center of the earth. Drawing all things to it.
 This would seem to look very like the announcement of the law of gravi- ty, and yet nothing can possibly be truer than the fact that the great poet did not in any substantial sense antict pate the philosopher. Between Shake speare's fancy and the scientific tri- umph of Newton there is an infinite dffference.-New York American

WILL USE OIL
 TO LAY DUST
Director Biltz Has Already Selected Thoroughfares for Experiment.

In short time the street depart ment will oil several of the streets in the city which are used a great deal by automobiles, and which are not sprinkled. At present Director Biltz is making an enquiry to learn the best method to use in spreading the oil to allay the dust. The streets which have already been selected are Noble avenue from the terminus of the trolley line to East Main street and East Main street to the Boston road, the Huntington turnpike to the town line, and Brewster and Ellsworth streets in Black Rock. After being gone over once or twice with oil the dust is laid for the rest of the season. In many cases it is cheaper to oil the streets than to sprinkle them. The Board of apportionment allowed an appropria- tion of S2,OO0 for road oil.

Moral Couraae.

A schoo1teacher once told her class that the courage which makes us do what we think right, regardless of the sneers of others, was moral courage, the best kind.
 "Then if a boy has a box of candy, like me yesterday" said a lad, "and If he eats it all himself, without giving any to people that have no right to 1t, no matter how much they call hin mean and stingy, that there's moral courage, ain't it, teacher?"
