speed ordinance passed by the city

WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMON
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak.
 ness of . Past Generation.

Dean Ramsay could not cO-ntenance profanity. but he managed to tell some good stories of weakness which af- flicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol had invited a wellknown character, writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction of some business. The duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place. But the duke had forgotten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres- ent described the Perth writer's in. dignation and his mode of showing it by most elaborate course of swear ing. But whom did he swear at% was the inquiry made of the narrator, who replied: Oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge.' I have from friend also an anecdote which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even to female ears when mixed up with the inter- course of social life A sister had been speaking of her brother as much addicted to this habit-'Oor John sweers awfu', and we try to correct him; but she added in a candid and apologetic tone, ma doubt it is a great set af to conversation

Earthquake on Schedule.

Speaking of the recent visit of the duke of Connaught to Italy specially to convey condolences to the government on account of the disaster at Messina, correspondent in Black and White writes: When, with the duchess, the duke was visiting Japan some years ago he remarked to his host at table, when the program for his visit was put before him: Well, I think you have planned everything connected with this country there is to see, but he added, laughing, there is one thing you cannot put on your program, and that is an earthquake Hardly had he spoken, however, when the house be- gan to tremble violently, and the serv. ants standing at the door bowed to. gether as the host said: Your high ness. the honorable earthquake!

"HAIL TO, THE NEW PARTY" /"

With rousing rally and much en- thusiasm, the Peoples Pioneer Party was organized, last Saturday, on the spacious estate of Axel Swanson. At 10 a. m., the delegates began to arrive and at 1.30 p. m. the first overflow meeting was held with those who could not get into the auditorium erected for the occasion. At this meeting 5000 persons cheer ed themselves hoarse as each prin- ciple of the new party was explained by the Hon. Jay Edward Kelly, the father of the party, in a great speech of ringing eloquence. On the plat form, responding to the cheers of the multitude, were the Hon. AXel Swan son, the party's choice for first se- lectman of Trumbull, Hon. Jay Ed ward Kelley of Bridgeport, Eugene Coleman J. Kelly, the orator of the day, and many other prominent politicians from the surrounding country. If the enthusiasm can be taken as a criterion, MT Swanson's success is insured at the next cleo tion. Letters of regret were read from Hon William J. Thompson, Jr, the party's representative in Newark, and from the Messre F. M. Hahn and w., Dennis Coughlin, two staunch supporters in Bridgeport. The strik- ing point of the new party's plat form was the plank favoring re- auction of tae price of corn, and a plank w1ich said that cider should be sweeler. The new party will get right down to work and expect to carry Trumbull at the next election.
