TO COMMEMORATE
 BATTLE OF BOYNE
Orangemen of Manchester Pass Through
 Bridgeport on Way to New York.

Manchester, Conn. July 1o--About 100 of the members of Washington Lodge, L. O. L., left for New York to- day to take part in the parade of Orangemen to be held in that city in commemoration of the Battle of the Boyne. While the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne does not occur until Monday the national order has decided to have the parade held on the Saturday preceding, which is today. The local Orangemen left on the 6:37 trolley for Hartford and from Hart ford took the 9:29 express to New York which will arrive in New York in plenty of time to take part in the pa- rade. They were accompanied by the Center Flute Band and expect to make one of the largest showings of any so- ciety in the country, being one of the largest societies at present connected with the order in this country.

CYCLIST STRUCK BY AUTO DIES
 OF INJURIES

3uries sustained last night when he was struck by an automobile, George J. Johnson, aged 30, died in the hos pital here early today. The accident occurred on the corner of Main street and Plymouth avenue when Johnson who was returning home on a bicycle was run down by an auto driven by George l.. Lockwood of the firm of E. L. Lockwood & Company. The bicy- ole rider was tossed in the air, land- ing on the mud guard of the car. He rolled down under the car and was dra gged a distance of fifty yards, sus- taining a fractured skull and severe body bruises. He was taken to the hospital and Lockwood was arrested on the charge of violating the auto mobile law, which may be changed to manslaughter today

(Hartford Courant) - BRIDGEPORT MAKES ITS ANNUAL BLUFF
Directory Claims Population of lIS,0OO "A Conservative Estimate Gives the Cily 94,00O - Hartford Has ll3,OOO and Springfield 90,00O.

Directory publishers are f1attering to the vanity of Bridgeport. as they use big multiple in figuring an estimate of the population from the names in the directory. The new issue of the Bridgeport city directory contains 45,- 592 names, and this number is calmly
 multiplied by two and one-half. mak- ink the directory estimate of the pop
 uFation 113,980. This appears to be
 only 10000 or so out of the way, the
 population of the oity probably being
 less than 100000, rather than more,
 as the multiple used by the Bridgeport
 people is too big.
 When census time rolls around and the official figures are completed it is
 always found that the estimate of the population of Hartford made by
 "Geer'S Directory is a close calcula- tion. In 1900, when the official fig ures were 79,S50.-the directory esti- mate was less than 2.30O out of the way. The present ratio used by the Hartford directory publishers is one to 2,065. Using this ratio it was figured a year ago that Hartford had a popu- lation of. 108.6SS. and the real popuia- ton of Hartford to-day is probably not much. if any. less than the Bridge port boomers guess the population of that city to be. To be modest, how ever, it might be marked down to an even 113,O0O. Taking the conservative ratio used here as a means of getting at the population of Bridgeport-multi- plying the names of residents given in the directory by 2.065. instead of by two and one e-half-and the result is 94, ,147.
 Bridgeport-using the directory as a basis again-has not regained the ground lost at the time of the financial panic of 1907. which drove many from the city in search of employment. The Bridgeport directory of 1907 contained 45. 992 names. or 400 more than the present issue, which shows a gain of 110 over last year, when the residents whose names appeared in the book az gregated 45,4S2. Accordingly, it seems safe to say that the city is growing. although slowly.
 Springfield also has a new directory, which, by the way. has a few hundred | more names than the Bridgeport pub l ucation, but there is no disposition to claim everything there, and the | Springfield Union'' figures that doub- | ling the number of names published | will give a good idea of the population, | and by this method it is estimated that there are 90.000 within the city's gates. |

A FAMOUS BANKN0TE.
The One That CruikshanIeS Drew and
 the Crowds It Drew.

The One That CruikshanIoC Drew and
 the Crowds It Drew.
 One day about the year 1918 George Cruikshank was passing Newgate on his way to the exchange when, seeing a crowd collected, he went forward to learn what was the matter and saw that it was the execution of several men and women. He was mortified at the spectacle and on inquiring learned that the woman was being hanged for passing counterfeit one pound notes He learned also that this punishment was quite common thing, even though the poor wretches often sinned in ignorance, being the dupes of men who sent them to buy some trif1es and return the change to them. Wrung with pity and with shame, Cruikshank went home and immediately, under the inspiration of his feeling, sketched a grotesque caricature of a banknote He called it a bank restriction note not to be initiated. He represented on 1t place of execution, with spaces about filled in with halters and mana cles, a figure of Britannia devouring her children and transport ships bear ing the lucky or unlucky ones who had escaped death to Van Dieman's Land, or Australia, while in place of the we'll known signature of Abraham Newland was that of 'tJ. Ketch."
 He had just finished this when his publisher, Hone, entered and, seeing it, begged to have it for publication So Cruikshank etched it and gave it to Hone, who exhibited it for sale in his window with startling effect. Crowds quickly began to gather and purchased so eagerly that the issue was soon ex- hausted.
 Cruikshank was kept hard at work making. more etchings.' The crowds grew so great that the street was blocked, and the mayor had to send soldiers to clear it. Hone realized over f700 in a few days-London Standard.

Pronunciation.

Dr. Johnson would not have consent ed to pronounce "wind' differently in prose and in verse. He insisted upon making the 'f'' long always The story goes that, in order to crush somebody who preferred the short 'i'' in ordi- nary conversation, Johnson, rhyming all three words with ''tinned,'' re- marked, 'I cannot find it in my mind to call it wind, but''-rhyming all three words with ''blind''-'I can find it in my mind to call it wind" But his ad- versary got the better of him. John son himself always pronounced "gold'' as 'goold." eff I may be so boold, '' said the other, 'I should like to be toold why you call it goold."

A Caustic Critic.

The Paris critic Martin once only had taken his chocolate in a place other than the Cafe Foy, and he then found it not good. This happened at the Regence, and the young woman at the desk, to whom he expressed his displeasure, said: "You are the only one to complain. All of the gentlemen of the court who come here find it good"
 'They also say, perhaps. that you are pretty" he replied slowly.

Protection Still Reigns.

Wall Street Association: With that
revised tariff almost in operation,
and with trade and industry steadily
reviving. one conclusion will be drawn
from the labOrs of congress by friend
and foe alike, and that is that the high
protective theory is as firmly estab-
lisbed in this country as ever it was
heretofore We do not intend to Gre
ate the impression that many expected
such a reduction in impoSts as would
establish mere tariff for revenue,
and practically eliminate the high pro-
tective feature altogether. But we do
express the opinion that many believ-
ed when congress met to revise the
tariff, and for that matter, still be-
lieve, the time has come greatly to re-
duce schedules on manufactured pro-
ducts and commodities of many kinds,
which were extortionate and unjustly
burdensome to consumers.
Had we been given revised tariff
leading to such result the high pro-
tective policy would seem more rea-
sonable and equitable and might be
accepted as kind of foster parent for
an infant industry. But we can not
draw such an inference from the meas
ure about to become operative, and,
while expressing our disappointment.
all we can do Is to keep up the move
ment for genuine tariff reform, and
trust that it may not be long post
