rRApE SCHOOLS.

The state board Of education has se-
lected Bridgeport for the establish
ment of the second trade school, the
first having been located at New Britt
ain. and in both instances 1T seems to
have been actuated by desire to so
place these schools that the greatest
service may be. done for the greatest
number of youth.
The Bridgeport Telegram says:
The trade school will catch the
average boy who has no particular
passion for books at the beginning of
his first cravings to make his own
place in the world. The valuable
formative years which are now prac-
tically thrown away while he eagerly
awaits the permission Of his parents
to leave school will be utilized to the
fullest extent He can follow his in
herited industrial instincts before his
inclination to work is dulled or he
turns to less congenial occupations.
The coming of the trade school is one
Of the best omens for the educational
and industrial future of Bridgeport"
The trade school win soon be COM
ing this way and 1t should be placed
in a populous Industrial center as
can be found. Norwich ought to be
looking for one of these omens of
educational and industrial progress.

TARIFF EFFECTS AND FACTS.

During the present Campaign in
Massachusetts, the democrats have in
their political advertisements affirmed
that the new tariff Is responsible for
all the high prices, and that a vote
against the republicans is a vote
for better state of things; and Gov
ernor Guild. in meeting this misrep-
resentation of facts, said:
Corn meal is there given as un-
changed in price. whereas the duty on
IL has been doubled by the new tariff.
That on flour has remained the
same, while the price OF it has ad-
vanced here and all over the world
Our tariff on beef has been reduced,
and yet that article is higher now
than it was. whereas lamb and NUT
ton are now lower than usual without
any change In the tariff. Shoes are
advancing, although the duty on them
has been materially reduced, and that
on hides absolutely abolished. Raw
cotton enjoys no protection, and yet
it is at the record breaking price of
fourteen cents a. pound. The truth is
that these changes have been so
slightly affected by the American tar
iff as to make that hardly worth men
tioning in connection with Them
The old law of supply and demand
works prices up and down regardless
of the tariff, and will continue to do
so. The tariff is not guilty Of every
commercial sin against the people.

LIE Nav YORK ELEcrIoN.

There is intense local interest in the
municipal election in New York and
the result will be eagerly looked for
Tuesday evening.
The blanket ballot is great thing
"A feet, inches wide, with Is or 20
columns according to the election dis
trict 1t represents, and the 10 distinct
embieris make it a puzzle for the
new voter. and picture sheet for the
children. Taken in its entirety this
voting ticket cannot be nationally
placed on the sane and safe list In
a free country something better and
simpler than this should be devised
Tor the voters.
When the campaign closed the fus
siorists claimed the city for Barnard
by 10000 plurality. and Tammany was
claiming 1t by 100000 plurality for
Gaynor, and while no extravaganza
claims were made for Hearst, who
claims he will skin the tiger and
nail his hide on the door of Tammany
hail. it is likely that he will roll up
a good popular vote and it would not
be surprising should he win.
Municipal politics are very much
mixed in New York city and what
the people propose to do will be bet
ter known after the votes have been
counted.

WITHHOLDING SUPPORT.

Some things which appear to be Sc
rious in politics turn out to be humor-
GUS when carefully examined.
The notice said TO have been Served
upon the insurgents by the congress
sional committee. that they are to ex-
pect no aid from them in their cam
paigns for reelection must tickle their
funny-bone.
The insurgents district is not the
one where funds are needed, for the
popular thing there is to be anti-Can-
nonism and that is what is expected
to put vim into the campaign and
successfully elect these men.
II money was known to be sent into
their districts by the regular party
representatives they would be under
suspicion at once. They could not af-
ford to accept aid from such a quar-
ter.
The fact is that in some parts of
the country where the candidates rep
resent Cannonism. it will be very diff
cult to elect them with all the aid
they can muster, so unpopular have
been his rulings and his tactics in
general.
What the true attitude OF the re-
publican voters is towards Cannonism
may be determined when the results
of the election come in.

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.

It is the off year in politics and there
Is not likely to be many radical
changes on Tuesday at the hands OF
the people.
The democrats have been using a
good deal of printers ink in Massa-
chusetts. but it looks as if that state
would elect Draper and the whole re-
publican ticket.
The republicans Of Rhode Island
have conducted an enthusiastic cam
paign and they feel confident of win
ming that state.
The New York city election may re-
suit in the dislodgement Of Tammany,
but with its political organization
and questionable methods this is a DIFF
Mcult stunt.
In Maryland there is a Comptroller
TO be chosen; and the excitement of
the campaign is caused by a proposed
constitutional amendment which will
disfranchise four-ffths of the colored
vote. The colored men are so
Indifferent to the issue, it is
saideAthat It is expected that Mary
land may join the states which have
annulled the Fourteenth amendment
of the Constitution.
The issue in Virginia is made rather
attractive by the push the republicans
have put into campaign with view
of breaking the solid south. The ablest
republican speakers have been there,
and several cabinet officers were
among them; but the likelihood is that
Old Virginia will be counted on the
usual side when the results come in.

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW.

A linoleum may be freshened per-
!ceptibly if given coat of linseed oil
and paraffin. Boil the oil and wax to-
gether and apply while still hot with a
brush. Use only enough to cover the
surface and when finished wipe it of
dry with cloth.
When cutting brick butter into
small squares for use on the table
bits of the butter often will sling to
the knife and spoil the looks of the
square. If piece of paraffin paper is
wrapped around the silver knife the
butter will cut in sharp, clean squares
and will not cling to the knife at all.
The latest addition to the bathroom
is hygienic kind of sponge holder.
These are in two shapes-one for hang
ing over the bathtub. the other mount
ed upon four feet.
They are Of perforated white cellu-
loid and at a short distance look like
bowls made from coarse white net and
then stiffened.
pretty adaptation of the tunic or
overskirt is the square that is cut
across the front above the knees, with
deep points at the sides and back. This
line win be much more generally be-
coming than the straight line around
the hips, and, again, it forms an ex-
cuse for decoration.

MAKING DOLL CLOTHES.

A mother who realizes the impor-
tance of early teaching q child to sew
lately bought a whole set Of dolls pat
terms and passed an entire day with
her daughter cutting them out and
basting them together. The child help
ed to finish them. often doing almost
the entire work herself. A few gar
ments were made from scrap pieces,
but the most were the result of definite
shopping, so that the child might learn
also something of materials and the
amount necessary for her purpose.
The little garments are made care
fully, quite as good as are those for
real live people. Dolly's winter ward
robe is almost done. In the spring
her summer clothes will be to make.
Thus the child is taught a great deal
in the guise of play, which she might
otherwise find hard to learn, and there
is no doubt that such things learned
when one is young are much easier to
master. Look at the desperately hard
time women have who have had to
teach themselves when they grew up

ventional thing and of prescribed
duration, they may not realize just
what changes have taken place and
what constitutes the correct mourning
as a given period or season.
This. like all things else, varies
somewhat, and while fashions in
mourning may seem almost ridicu-
lous thing. it is well to at least ayQid
the grotesque effect of things distinct-
ly out of style, as in the garb for any
other separate occasion.
1t Is no. longer necessary to swathe
the figure in heavy crepe regardless of
the weather or the health of the wear
er. Sensible license is allowed. and,
since the heavier wells have been prov
en- far from hygienic, women who still
prefer to cover their faces wear dull
chiffon veil. This Is a concession
granted to women, as men are al
lowed the less conventional use, under
certain conditions. of the band or
black cloth around one sleeve In
place of the all black suit
The gown trimmed with bands of
crepe is correct mourning, even though
a square yake of plain black net is
permitted. Mourning does not sane
ton the wearing of evening dress, but
square Dutch lines, for home wear.
Dull black is very beautiful in crepe de
chine and chiffon. These materials are
especially desirable for the woman
who would sink under a weight of
heavy drapery-
White mourning is sometimes substi-
tuted for home use, but this must, If
done at all, be most correctly done.
Soft wool or wolfe, totally devoid of
trimming, except a rather extreme use
of white crepe folds, is considered lrst
mourning, but a combifation of black
with the white is to be avoided, since
it at once denotes second mourning.

taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to see what it would do,
and L am restored to my natural
health. Mrs. ETA DONOVAN, Box
299, Willimantic, Conn.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, infam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, fatulency, indi-

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure you?

ABOUT WINGS.

There is a decided change in the ar
rsngement of wings this season. For
instead of standing up in a jaunty
style they invariably point downward,
whether it Is just pair of wings or a
wreath of them that joins the trim
ming. 1t is a little difficult to describe
their positions on the different shaped
hats. but interested persons should
take note OF the wing ornamented mil
linery that is now displayed in the
stores. il will be seen that the lines
of such trimming vary in detail &C
cording to the shape of the hat.
When the crown is high the stems of
the wings will be placed where one
expects to look for the tips. while on
some of the turbans the wings droop
over the hair after the fashion of an
ostrich tip.
When the brim is fairly wide a
bandeau of small wings often encircles
the crown, but they invariably turn
downward, and when a single pair is
used they are usually finned to the
hat in Mercury effect with tips down.

Handsome pins and cabuchons are a
feature Of the new millinery and it is
not unlikely that these may be taken
from some out of date hats stored
away.

who with grit and enthusiasm gave
The best there was in him for his fell
lows. He was a man of decided con-
victions and the courage of them.
Public matters interested him to the
hour of his death. and it was merely
necessary to convince him that things
were not what they should be to arouse
in him his fighting blood. His most
conspicuous service to the state was
his final defeat of a movement to vio-
late upright insurance principles. His

tual policyholders of the Aetna Life,
but he at last won it and forever de-
termined the attitude of Connecticut in
that connection. Personally Mr.. Clark

SPACE is MONEY.

Space in newspaperdom is rentable
the same as tenements in the realm
of real estate. 1t is valuable space
which not only meets the expense of
a newspaper but pays it's owners div
idends
The art of getting this space for
nothing is not a mean art-the duty
of guarding its not mean occupa-
ton. In the game of business the
issue right at this point is ito live
and let live
The newspaper in giving space to
religious and philanthropic enterprises
makes large contributions every year,
yet those who are benefited too often
think it costs the publishers nothing;
If more space should be given away
than sold the publisher would have to
pay the deficit, and If the space he
gives was paid for it would make
an addition of thousands OF dollars
yearly to his income.
While no one would think of en-
tering a restaurant and asking the
proprietor to give him a free dinner,
people every day walk into a print
ing Office and ask the publishers to
give them free the space by the rental
Of which the owner pays for his din
ner.
Space to a newspaper is money, as
much as meat to a butcher, sugar to
a grocer, or silk to a dry goods deal
err. Hence, free space is like meat and
groceries and dry goods given away
for nothing. That isn't business-it is
akin to folly.
Yet newspapermen are called mean
almost every day in the year for de-
clining to give away the best space
in their columns for the asking to

chain, or the long chain without a

cable of gold, such as was worn by
gentlemen before the war; has returned

Few Congress Caters Worn Now.

The production of congress shoes in
mems factories has not been discon-
tinued altogether, some being still

gress CATERS were worn by nearly half

1t is said that the goring was the
main thing that hurt the shoe. and by
this it is means that it did not wear

reason why congress shoes went out
was because they were uncomfortable
