HAT MANUFACTURERS ARE STILL
 FIGHTING FOR OPEN SHOP

New York June 11.-President Sam uel Mundheim of the Associated Hat Manufacturers announced last evening that he had received the resignations of the fifteen firms in Danbury. Conn. and neighboring towns which broke away from the open-shop plan of the association on Monday and made an agreement with the union. The resig- nations are not effective until ninety days as each firm is under bond of s25 900 to give three months notice of withdrawal.
 .'There is not the slightest sign of break among the other members of the association" said MT. Mundheim. "All the manufacturers who are holding out feel that they cannot now afford to give up the fight until the open shop wins"

A Disappointing Celebrity.

An odd impression was that which George Eliot conceived of Schiller aft er her visit to Weimar with Lewes in the August of the year of .'the union" ;" 1854 She was thrilled, she says, by the legend over the poets old house, "Hier wohnte Schiller" but something in the nature of ,disillusionment await ed her within. It was very interesting to see his study, left in it's original state But when 1t came to his skull. (which we saw for the first time, we were amazed at the smalIness of the in- tellectual region"
 After that she could take no further pleasure in the contemplation of the too hattering bust and portrait. And then "Rauch told US that Schiller had a miserable Stirne'-a wretched fore head,"- while to complete the destruc- lion of her ideal she heard how ''Tieck, the sculptor, was wont to declare that something in Schiller's whole person reminded him of-a cameL"-Pau Mall Gazette

Grant Dun: "A gentleman who rather oyervalued him. self, looking at a case: of birds, said to an ornithologist who was with him, What is that bird?' That said the other, 'is a magpie.' It's not my idea of a magpie,' was the rejoinder. Per haps not replied his friend, but it's Gods idea of a magpie.'

MAKE LIBERAL TRADE SCHOOL INDICTMENT TO STATE BOARD
 URGES THOMAS H. MACDONALD
Citizen of North End Offers Several Acres of Land for Site==SenatOr Manwaring Tells of Visit to GOvernor=CiyiC Bodies Consider Methods.

: Enthusiasm abounded last evening at the joint meeting of the Bridgeport Business Mems Association, the Board of Trade and the Manufacturers As Sociation held at the Stratfield to in- duce the State Board of Education to designate this city as recipient of one Of the two trade schools authorized by the state legislature. The question seemed to hinge on how to get the school here. It is well known that Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury and New Britain will make strong efforts to get a school, especially the two former, who generally land what they go after.
 The circular relating to the matter sent out by the State Board of Educa- tion stated that the city offering the best induo ements would be consider ed. Joseph Stoehr, the, Main street butcher and Chief of the Hillside Fire Department, then said that he, would offer three acres of his land on North Main street, and that his .neighbor would offer two acres more. Mr. applause, and the offer accepted with a vote of thanks. N
 As result of the combined action, a committee of three, one from each draw up suitable resolutions, present ing the spirit of the meeting as fol- lows:
 Whereas, The state legislature hav-- ing appropriated the sum of $5O,0O0 annually for the purpose of establish ing and maintaining trade schools in two cities of this state, we- the Board of Trade, the Bridgeport Business Mems Association and the Manufac turers' association of the city of Bridgeport in joint session assembled, having clearly in mind the position of this municipality a manufacturing center, and being keenly alive to the serious problems surrounding the sup ply of skilled labor, and knowing fur ther that the fundamental issues in volved in the location and mainten- ance of that supply hinge on the prop CT and adequate training of the young CT generation in the trades, do hereby.
 Resolve, That the action of the state legislature be heartily endorsed, and that we hereby petition the state board of education to give to Bridge port the distinction and benefit of having one of these trade schools To- cated in this city being as it is the in dustrial capital of Connecticut
 There will be joint committee of three from each organization to act with the Mayor and the committee

President Hayes, Watches.

President Hayes was in the habit of wearing a cheap nickel watch while in the White House, and much comment was aroused as to the reason. The truth was that almost weekly depu- tation of western Indians called upon him, always bringing presents of some kind to the great father. Of course he was expected to give something in re- turn, and the object was to find some thing cheap and at the same time ac- ceptable. Watches were novelty to the Indians, and to present a chief with a watch which the great father himself had been carrying always i'm pressed him greatly. Having discover ed this and not caring to distribute gold watches or even silver ones, MT. Hayes hit upon the expedient of buy ing nickel watches at $36 dozen and always made it convenient to have one with him against an emergency.

 Catering to animals requires both a plentiful and varied supply of foods, as may be seen from this report of ma terial fed at the London Geological gardens last year.

from the Board of Education. to ap- pear before the State Board of .Educa- tion and present the claims of Bridge port.
 President Enos of the Board of Trade presided. George R. Burnes, secretary of the Business Mems As Sociation, was chosen as secretary. E. P. Bullard, president of the Manufac- turers' Association, said he was enthusiastic over the present trade school supported by the manufactur- CTS of this city at the local Y- M C. A. 1.-The trade school. he said, ls the home for the 14-15 year old boy who goes into the factory where pro- duction is the only opportunity, and who thinks only of his Saturday pay. The boy, if he is the son of poor pa rents. generally will neglect his ad- varced trade education, and will be eventually as his father before him was, an unskilled workman. That's why !he trade school is offered to bet ter the opportunity of this boy"
 Frank w. Bolande, president of the Business Mems Association said that the State Board of Education had promised that the claims Of Fridge port. would receive careful attention. r Mayor Lee said that Bridgeport is the city for the school, but the ques- tion was how to get it here. All that can be done is to have our represen- tatfves in the legislature aid us. There is no doubt that this city is the man ufacturing center of the state, but there are a. number of other towns which think they are centerS.
 Postmaster Marigold, president Of the Board of Education stated that a committee had been appointed by his board and had already been in com munication with the State Board in regard to the matter.
 Thomas H. Macdonald of the Amer ican Graphophone Company. and a member of the Board of Educatfon, said that the only thing to do was to make a substantial offering to the State Board. Eventually every city in the United States must have a trade school if it's manufactories are to be maintained. MT. Macdonald said that the United States was behind Ger many in the matter of trade schools, where the children are compelled to be educated. Even in Italy he said there are schools, and Italy is consid- cred to be one of the poorer countries.
 Senator Manwaring told of his con- ference with Governor Weeks. The governor replied that he would do nothing until he had seen the Senator again.
 Horace H. Jackson, Geo. M. Eames w. A. Smith, c. Kloefkorn and Col. Tracy B. Warren also spoke.

ssGte Ua Leado

Dean Hole in his book, More Memo 1es," tells an amusing story of how an old woman got the better of her clergy man in an argument. The village churchYard was overcrowded except on. It's sunless northern side, in which the suicide was buried. One day the vicar, while visiting a poor old woman who was nigh unto death, thought he would try to get her consent to be buried in the roomy northern plot. He began by assuring her that the common aversion to burial in any particular portion of consecrated ground was a silly .preju- dice and a foolish superstition. Then he besought her, as personal favor to himself and as an example to others, to permit her body to be buried in the northern plot of the churchyard.
 The old woman thought it all over for few minutes and then answered, well, sir, as you seem to think as enc part of the churchyard is as good as another and that it makes no difference where we be put, perhaps you'll gie US a lead.''
 The vicar did not grasp the argu- ment, but he changed the subject.

Hans Christian Andersen.

A critic writes of Hans Christian An dersen: His vanity was perhaps his most salient characteristic. He was photographed scores of times in every position and costume, and he never wearied of new presentments of his strong but unhandsome features. His whims were legion. Hehhad nor bid horror of being buried alive and always set a slip of paper by bis bed side bearing the words, tSeg es skin dod' CT am in tranceD. His hosts often found him an exacting guest, but his little failings were easily pardoned for the sake of his genius and his child like nature" k

The Flying Fish.

The flying fish when in the air uses its pectoral fins precisely as boy does a kite, the weight of the f1sh's body taking the place of the string. As a flying fish makes a preliminary rush through the water before ascending into the air. In this way. as it leaves the surface air impinges upon the low CT area of the fin wings, carrying the body upward and onward with a glid- ing motion. The anatomical structure of the flying fish is such that it cannot flap it's wings" and so. it possesses little or no guiding power when in flight. This accounts fort the fact that it frequently finds its way through ships open ports. or down skylights or lands helplessly upon deck.

Humility and |. Hair Shirt.


 'The bishop of Arfchat," said Father Burke, ''is a most unassuming crea- ture-a man who keeps the stone in his episcopal ring turned against his palm, so that he may not be recognized as a bishop ''He must be an extraordinary per son." Stephen Essex, the Methodist parson, admitted.
 'It Is his humility. I am told he wears hair shirt the year round" ''Is that an evidence. of humility P Stephen asked, with an incredulous smile.
 .'Try it and see,' the priest advised. Have you tried 1t, Father Burkef' "Yes, and one days trial convinced me that was neither saint nor a rhinoceros," he said, with a wFy face.- From '"The Bishops Niece" by George H. Picard.
