REV. AMOS OSBORN
Was Circuit Rider in Northern New
 England 75 Years Ago.

Rev. Amos Osborn, circuit rider who began service as a Methodist preacher in the north woods of north ern New England and New York about 75 years ago, celebrated his 95th birth day Monday at his home in West Hart ford.
 MT. Osborn is probably the oldest clergyman in Connecticut, and few men have lived a more strenuous life than he has in carrying the story of the gospel to a widely scattered people. He is connected with St. Paul's M. E. church on Park street. Hartford, and last preached there when in his 91st year.
 MT. Osborn was born at Pittstown, N. F., in 1914 and studied for the min istry in Boston, Mass, and was ordain- ed about 1S40. Methodism was then young and the ministers of those days had strenuous lives to lead
 At one time MT. Osborn had 28 churches under his charge. He mar ried in October, 1s44, and his wife, who shared many of his hardships, is still spared to him. although an invalid and is 91 years of age. MT. Osborn's s recompense for his labors were small in those early days. at one time his salary being only $375 a year.
 At one time his parish was partly in the New England states and in Canada, the dividing line being a wide swath of trees cut down to mark the line between the two organized gov ernments. His last charge was at Wells, Vt. He has preached over 5000 sermons and many of the original man. uscriptS are preserved

"PIsToL-ToTINe" IN THE SOUTH.
New England Makes the Weapons for
 Our Negroes to Use.

We seem to have struck a responsive chord in the esteemed Springfield Re- publican at last on the question of pistol -toting in the south. Some days ago we commented on the pistol mak- ing business of New England and of the effect that this successful enter prise has had upon the homicidal sit- uation in the south. .
 The admission is also made that New England profits by the pistol making business and even by the local violation of the South Carolina stat ute" but the suggestion is made that South Carolina might develop some self control in the use of deadly weap- ons. Then our contemporary indulges in this defense of one of New Eng lands most profitable industries:
 "A pistol like shotgun or rife, has it's legitimate uses, although it's ownership or carrying on the person is properly subject for regulation by the authorities. The twenty-inch law South Carolina now has is most ex- cellent and ought to be rigidly en- forced"
 We agree wholly with the last prop osition of our friend, but we do not agree with it in it's statement that "a pistol, like a shotgun or rifle, has it's legitimate uses" There is no legi- LiIilc use really lO WHICH IL can De placed except as side arms for those who are engaged in the military serv- ice of the country. It is largely a weapon of offense and rarely weapon of defense. It is made so that it can be easily concealed about the person, and it has been placed under the ban in this state, because it has been so frequently used with murderous in- tent. The law in South Carolina pro- hibiting the sale, transportation or use in this state of any pistol less than 20 inches in length and three pounds in weight was enacted for the purpose of preventing the pistol trade in South Carolina. The law is not enforced. Few regard it.
 It is said that during the last thir- tyfive years 25,000,00O pistols have been manufactured in this country, most of them in New England, and that the rate of production now is about 100000 annually. We have not the statistics at hand, but we venture to say that more crime, has been com mitted, more lives have been lost, more property has been sacrificed by the sale of 100000 pistols in this country a year than can be credited to the .intemperate use of intoxicating liquors. -Charleston News and Courier.

EXCEPTIONAL FARMER.
Harwinton Man Who was Buried Re- gently Succeeded in Life Where Thousands Have Failed.

Ordinarily the farmers of this sec tion of the state do not make great deal of money says The Torrington Register. Farming isn't as lucrative a business as some others; but George B. Alfred whose funeral was held re- gently in Harwinton,s was an excep- ton to the general rule of agricultural careers in this viciinty.
 It is believed that MT. Alfred's es- tate will aggregate about~s20,000, and practically every cent of this money was accumulated by farming. MT. Alfred was a born farmer. He knew just how to get everything possible out of the land titled and at the same time how to give back to the soil the richness which the crops tended to destroy.
 The Alfred farm in Harwinton, where the family was reared. and where MT. Alfred made his small for tune by hard work, is today in better condition than it was forty years ago. MT. Alfred cared for the soil as he cared for his livestock, knowing that only by carefulness could the quality of the land be kept. up to what it should be.
 Mir. Alfred had foresight. and he knew perfectly the conditions under which he was working. He mixed brains with his seed and he always reaped good crops. He was an excep- ticnal farmer and ons which the town of Harwinton will sorely miss, either unconsciouslysor not.
 MT. Alfred owned large amount of property in Florida and in the Adj rondacks. He also owned considerable land in both Litehfeld and Harwin ton.

A Quiet Vacation.

A vacationist at Cape Cod resort makes 1t clear in a personal letter that all the strenuous life is not confined to the workaday world. He arrived at his summer house just in time to greet a colony of gypsy moths, starting forth quarter of a mile away from his cot tage, and for space of two weeks stripping all the green from the trees until they looked like those of Chelsea after the great fire. Then came the gypsy moth men, clearing a path about twenty feet wide around the infested district, after which they obtained permission from the proper authorities to set fire. Everything was as dry as finder While the moth killers them selves took all possible precaution, and it is not likely that they were in any degree responsible for the for est fire which broke out not long aft CT, this happened just the same, and gave the vacationist his next alarm
 It looked one Sunday afternoon as if his cottage and the whole settlement would be so soon wiped out that he held up an automobile to ask if it would take his family and effects somewhere for safety, since he had no time to hunt an congressman. Stran- gers put the party up for the night. The town authorities hurried every available man to the fire and between the shovel brigade and the backfires which were started, the main tide of destruction was checked just before it reached the cottager's door. But the smoke was so intense that he could not have remained in the house that night in any event. He now wanders what next can happen to make a vacation serene and restful.-Boston Transcript.

HUSBAND GOT DIVORCE.
Mrs. Abbe Linscott Discovered It When She Tried to Get Pension.

Mrs. Abbe Linscott of 21 Russell street, an enploye of the Warner Bros. company corset factory for the past 29 years, received the surprise of her life a few days ago when the pen- sion department of the United States government rejected her claim on the grounds that her husband. John H. Linscott, who died five years ago, ob- tained divoce from her Il years before his death.
 Mrs. Linscott cannot believe that she was a divorced woman for II years without knowing it, but the government record shows it. Her husband lived in the west for many years and became postmaster of the town of Linscott. founded by his two brothers. He corresponded with his wife, and Mrs. Linscott said she was never served with papers, and that she and her husband never had a cross word. She has sought the aid of Congressman E. J. Hill in her eff . forts to obtain a pension and will en- deavor to prove that she was never divorced, at least not legally.-Bridge- port Standard.

ACQUISITION OF THAW ENDED
Prisoner Held His Own at All Times-Today in Hands
 of Friends.

White Plains, N. r., July 29.-Wil- liam Travers Jerome, district attor- ney of New York, prosecutor at both Thaw murder trials, finished his in- quisition of Harry K. Thaw in the supreme court at 5.25 o'clock this eve ming. This ends perhaps the most sur prising chapter of the long court pro- cedure .n which the young Pittsburger has figured, certainly the most sur prising in this latest phase of the case, Thaw's fight to prove himself sane and obtain his release from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal in sane.
 In Hands of Friends Today. All told, yesterday and today, Harry Thaw faced Jerome's lightning thrusts for ten hours, yet he held his own at all times and tomorrow he will be in the hands of friends. His attorney, Charles J. Morschauser, expects to call him in the morning. This examination may be as long as Jerome's, and aft- CT 1t the district attorney may have a few more questions to ask.
 Thaw Goes Over Records. Notwithstanding the mental strain he was under yesterday and today, Thaw labored far into tonight with his attorney in Justice Mills ante
 
 ords used today by Mir. Jerome in his rapid fire of cross questions. The district attorney consented to this, but left one of his deputies to guard the evidence, which he said belonged to the records of his office.
 Thaw and his attorney returned to the court house at [ D. m., and, with a deputy sheriff at the door, began their task, which extended we'll into a r1fp fc ,rfr chiefly on account of certain exhibits introduced by Nhe district attorney. These consisted of various papers con- taining notes and drawings found in Thaw's cell at the Tombs after he..was sent to Matteawan. What use MT. Jerome will make of them will develop later. But their appearance seemed to bother Thaw somewhat and after court adjourned, Mrs. William C. Thaw, the prisoners mother, gave out an interview in which she said that the production of these papers by the state proved the charges she made in printed pamphlet recently, that her son had been hurried away to the asy- lum without being allowed to get his clothes or other effects in his cell.
 His Attorney We'll Satisfied.
 On the whole however, Thaw and his attorney are we'll satisfied with the days work. Thaw showed even more confidence than he exhibited during the first encounter; in fact, his self satisfaction at one time almost cost him dear when he ventured into a heated passage at arms with the dis trict attorney. But he checked himself when he realized that he had nothing to gain and everything to lose by a show of temper. Except for this squall the exchange of questions and answers

NORMAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
New Law Provides for One for Each
 Town.

In the senate at Hartford this week Senator Luther explained the bill to provide trained teachers for small towns. It establishes scholarships of $150 each in the normal schools for scholars from towns having a grand list of s1,500.000 and less. It also pro- vides that the graduates shall teach school in any of the small towns re- ferred to in the bill, for three years after their graduation. The expense is estimated at s13,O0O a year, though. according to Senator Luther's state ment. the expense may not amount to that sum.
 In reply to Senator Arnold, Senator Luther said it would not be desirable to compel a teacher to teach in the town from which she went to the nor nal school. She might not want to teach in that town. He did not think that a teacher would refuse to teach ,in the town after she had had the benefit of the scholarship.
 The bill was passed by an unani- nous vote.
