THE RAVIN'.

GA Poetic Plaint.) Once upon a midnight dreary, AS l struck the entrance eery Of the subway, feeling bleary
 As into it's depths I tore, Through the train shot like rocket l first felt a dreadful shock. it Was my arm torn from it's stocket- Only this, and nothing more Monster" said I, thing of evil, Won't you tell me why the devil, You thus toss me off my level
 On to this uncertain floor?" But the guard, all animation, Yelled this lucid explanation:- Umpty-bunpty-e eighth, next station!'' Only this and nothing more! And that club, the Ananias- Tell me plainly, without bias,
 Is it growing more and more? When those fa!bricators cluster, Say, how many do they muster?'' And the guard yelled: 'Umpty-four!'' ''In the depths of Aries jungle, Where the white mans guns shall Pray, what luck will then attend them, With King Teddy to the fore? Say, how many belts and deer heads Will they hoist upon his spear heads?'' And the guard yelled: "Umpty-four!' Then left at my own station, Minus much real information
 That I deeply thirsted for Through the dark that train went
 tearing, And heard a voice, despairing- Twas that faithful guard, declaring:- "Umpty, bumpty, rumpty-four!''

The report of a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary committee to the effect that President Roosevelt practi- cally suspended the sherman antitrust law in issuing a permit for absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.,, by the Steel Trust, and that he had no right to do so, his duty being to ex- ecute rather than suspend laws, was not unexpected. No other finding was possible in so clear a case. The sub committee goes further and finds that the reason given for the permit, viz, that it would prevent the bankruptcy of firm holding great blocks of Ten nessee shares, is unfounded. Purchase of these shares by the Steel Trust was not needed to save the firm in ques- tion.
 It looks. very much as if President Roosevelt was imposed upon. If this be not the fact, we must conclude that he, knowingly and with full knowledge of the facts, permitted a violation of the law in order to benefit one of the great trusts, and this not long after he had stunned the air with virulent denunciatiOns of the trust system.

FAIRFIELD
At the Pequot-Eskimo Life-Dogs and ChiIdren-Giving Away Babies-70 Below zerO-A Colonial Supper.

A large audience crowded the audi torium of the Pequot Library last ev- ening to listen to an illustrated lecture by Rev. Dr. Cross upon the Eskimos. Nearly al. the school children in town
 were present, and they appeared to
 thoroughly enjoy what they saw and heard. For three long and miserable years MT. Cross lived at Cape Prince of Wales, the northernnost point of Alaska, where the strait between Am erica and Asia is but 30 miles wide, and one can see the old world from the American shore when the sky is clear. MT. Cross said the journey was 5000 miles by sea and the same by land, and one could go all the way by water, or by land, or if one preferred he could walk. The place where he lived was 168 degrees west longitude and 65 degrees north latitude. He be- gan by throwing upon the screen pie lures of himself in the fur dress worn by the natives and also of his daugh- ter who was with him. These dresses are made of deer skin and the hood for the head and face has a border of wolf fur, which is long and soft, and when the wind blows the fur is blown tects it. This head piece is not worn for ornament, but for comfort. For the most part the women and the men dress alike. Views of the sun as seen at Christmas and on 'the last day of June, were given. The sun does not cross over the sky from east to west, IS with us, but swings around the lo- rizon just showing it's face above the edge of the earth. When there is 8 midnight sun one can go out at II o'clock at night and play ball until o'clock in the morning. The village at Cape Prince of Wales was shown, a hamlet of about 400 inhabitants It I,o x1. very small, for coal is $27 a ton and poor at that and when a man builds house he must consult This ability to keep it warm for months. The wealth of a man in "those parts'' consists in the furs he possesses. Some of these as the grey fox, are valuable, and it is rot uncommon for furs to be inherit ed from ones father or grandfather. The town is divided into two sections and there is great rivalry between the men of each section in running, base ball, and football. Seal skins are made use of for a great variety of purposes, to hold Oil or to be used as pneumatic sled runners, or for buoys at sea, etc. The dogs appear to be partly wolf, and while they are gentle enough in the winter, when summer comes they show their wolfish nature and becomes very fierce and ugly. They have been known to attack children and tear them to pieces. Dr. Cross said they had brain storms and could not help doing what they did. Many photo graphs of Eskimo children, girls and young men were shown. Some of the babies were quite handsome. It seems that the facial expression of the Eski- mo has changed much for the better, with more intelligent look since the missionaries went to them and they have gone to school. Pictures were rr;Vy Tn c fof Eskimo is not always a short, fat fel- low, but is often six feet tall and we'll built, and usually a great athlete. They are fond of swimming in the wa

RUTU,RlN OF THE
BATTLESHIP FLEET.

,phe return of the battleship fleet
 from itn voyage around the world IS
 welcomed by the alarmists who nave heeen expecting the devastation of our Atlantic coast during it's absence by
 some one of the more pugnacious Eu-
 ropean powers. They can now turn
 their attention to our Pacific coast which is but feebly protected from possible attack by Japan.
 The fleets voyage has given an oo-
 iect-lesson of. American preparedness for war to other nations, and while It has not shown a. naval condition equal to or approximating closely the de- gree of British naval power, it has m dicated that this country can, if neces- sary. make any nation realize that a war with us would not be walk-over. Of course, the cost of the voyage IS heavy and will run into the millions, but from that figure should be deduct ed the expense of maintenance had the . vessels remained at home. But what ever the cost, the results may justify it. We have shown the Asiatics, to whom statistics of tonnage, arma- ment. etc, count for little, that this country is really power, with the ability to support it's reasonable de- rnands for equitable treatment Even pugnacious and somewhat swell headed'' Japan has moderated it's cap tiousness since the voyage of the Am erican fleet over the Pacific.
 But battleship power is a vanishing souantity, for Improvements in guns and proiectiles are constantly chang ing the absolute needs of the floating fortresses. An illustration appears in the very recent action of the British Admiralty which has condemned six battleships to the scrap heap because their six inch armor cannot stop the projectiles of these days. Mainten- ance of naval power can only be re- tained by steady and heavy expend1- lures. And the constant progress in aeronautics may eventually result in the abandonment of battleships, crui- sers, etc. Enthusiasts are even pre- dieting that future wars will be fought out in the air instead of upon land and water. With the perfected air. ship. destruction of a battleship with a, bomb would be easy, as would also be the decimation of an army corps. Until then, however, naval rehabilita- ton remains a necessity to national safety.

Pending bills before the General As sembly prohibit the sale of trout ta- ken from waters stocked by the State, and providing that such waters shall be open for five years after being stocked. The first-named bill protects State-stocked streams from being ex- hausted by market-fishers; the second forbids the posting by land owners of State-stocked waters. With regard to the latter, it has long been complain ed that so soon as the State made good fishing by stocking a stream, land owners would post it and thus bar citizens of the State from catch ing fish furnished by the state at the expense of it's taxpayers. This is a manifest injustice which the pending bill is intended to remedy.

Despite the shipment of s9,0Oo,000 in gold to South America since Jan. 1st, and the withdrawal of $30,000,00 of Gov ernment deposits in national banks, money is still so plentiful in New York that the trust companies have reduced the interest allowed on deposits from 3 1-2 and 1-2 per cent. to 1-2 and 2 per cent. and the savings banks are according to the weekly market letter of Watson, Alpers 6, Co.,, considering a reduction of their rate of interest to depositors from to 1-2 per cent.

There is a growing suspicion that the motive of the Steel Trust, in de- claring the "open market and meet ling the price-reductions made by the independent producers. is to get rid of stock on hand before the anticipated reduction or repeal of it's tariff pro- lection, as recommended by Andrew Carnegie. Naturally, buyers are with holding orders so far as possible, in anticipation of that same reduction or repeal of tariff duties.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-02-23

The extra session of Congress, to be called for consideration of the tariff revision question, will begin on March 10th. It is understood that the House committee on Ways and Means will be ready then to report a revision bill, and it is hoped that it's consideration will be brief. Delay will come, how ever, when the measure is reported to the Senate Finance Committee which will violate the precedents if it does not recommend numerous amendments.

Connecticut savings banks are it is said, opposed to the institution of postal savings banks. Certainly, the latter are unnecessary here, whatever may be the fact in other sections where there are few or no savings banks, where state supervision is lax or non- existent, or where savings banks are not mutual institutions but organized for profit to stockholders. Nor can the postal banks flourish materially here against the competition of savings

Two reso- lutions were passed. The first au- thorized the Selectmen to take such steps as many seem to them proper to oppose the resolutions. giving the Hartford Board of Water Commission CTS water rights within the town, and the second authorized the Selectmen to eXpend not to exceed $500 for counsel or in other legal and necessary ex- penses in connection with carrying out the vote of the meeting.

In Superior Court

By agreement of counsel, the charge of arson for which Lemuel Johnson, a. negro. of Plymouth. was to have been tried before Judge Curtis and a. jury in the Superior court in Win sted, Saturday, was nolled and a charge of assault preferred. Johnson pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in jail. The case of Jo- seph Rivollier of Salisbury, which was continued ito Tuesday for the purpose of trying to arrange a reconciliation between Rivollier and his wife and four children, was continued until the June term, counsel having decided up- on terms of settlement. Rivollier put his property in the hands of trustees for the benefit of his children and Mrs. Rivollier agreed to remain at home and not contract any bills in her husbands name. Rivollier can visit the children.
