EAMES PREDlClS NEW
 HARB0R LINE FIGHT
 TO PROTECT PARK

{F'rom the Farmer. Oct 5, 190S.)
 President George M. Flames, of the Board of Park Commissioners. was an interested spectator a the \ session of the Common Council. last night. during the passage of the harbor line legislation. To a reporter of the Farmer he said that 1t will not be long before the Park Board will ask the Aldermen for some harbor line legislation. He said that what could be called the ''up river'' harbor line fi~ht is now apparently settled. but that the way is paved for brand neyl har- bor line fight below the iraer breakwater. He is not afraid that the Locomobile company will steal march on the Park Board over <, night by filling in the 20 acres of harbor involved. because as he says they cannot get the 10 900 odd teams that would be necessary for so prompt 6 performance of the job.

F s. Beardsley. manager of the Strat tford Oyster Company, in a letter to Harbor Master Morris says .'orce the channel or anchorage room of Brid dgeport's harbor is mar rowed or curtafled the port has lost forever q valua ble franchise and it therefore seems to us that the wise and far-sighted policy for Fridge port would be to hold all that we have and get as much more as pos- sible.n
 The letter follows:
 Stratford, Conn, May IT, '09. MT. Charles Morris,
 Harbor Master,
 Bridgeport, Conn.,
 Dear Sir--In regard to the mat ter of 1larbor lines in Bridgeport hal bor about which there is to be a. hearing in the Council chamber tonight, we have to say that the writer regrets that he will be un- able to be present owing to 8 prev-i 1ous engagement. Our position in regard to the matter is about as follows:s
 We have no quarrel with any if14s terest that may be concerned in the premises, but situated as we are directly opposite the locality in question we have observed very closely the workings of the ship ping in the harbOr. The result or our observations is that there is not room enough now to accornmo- date the shipping that has occasion to use the anchorage basin between the Naugatuck dock and the foot of Henry street. There have been ! for the last two months anywhere ] from ten to forty vessels anchored ] in this basin. Many times the; < basin has been fully occupied and vessels have been obliged to anchor in the channel and have thus block ed the channel so that vessels could not get in or out of the harbor. This has occurred this season when i. there has been very few vessels { working on the natural oyster beds.

And also the jus priva-. tum, or TITLE TO THE SOIL ITSELF below high water mark in trust for tha public use and benefit;

(2) That the lfttoral proprietor owns in fee only to higl1-water mark, but that he has in the shore in front of his upland, certain ex- elusive advantages called in our re- ports rights, privileges and tran 6hisess among which is the right of access to actually i1aSvigabie wa ter by wharfing out;
 f3) That the right or privilege of wl1arfing out certainly so far at ieast as it has not been actually ex xercised is held subordinate and subservient to the public right of navigation.
 .sThese statements of the law are supported by the dicta and decis- icns of this court in all the, cases upon this subject from that of East Haven vs. Hemingway in the 79th Conn, down to that of Prior ys. Swartz in the 62nd Conn.
 ssThfs power to protect the dom- inants right includes not only the power to keep the navigable water free from encroachments and ob- structions. but also to improve the navfeabiIity of these waters by inx the old channels. or digging new channels Or otherwise, any, where below high water mark, cer- tainly as aga inst the unexercised riklft to wharf out"
 TO summarize, it IS my opinion, 4s before stated, that the State of Connecticut may establish har- Dor lines as against the unexercised right of wharfing out, with out fn- curing any damage whatsoever, and may place said llarbor lines antwhere between said channel and the Iow-water mark on the shore.
 Second, that as against the exer- cised rights of, wharffng out, that. if the State, in laying harbor lines, condemns property already erected and requires the owners to remove 1t or prevents them from using. re- pairing or maintaining it. which amounts to a condemnation, the State would probably have to pay damages for such property So cori- < fiefnreu.
 Thfrd, while the State has the riei1t to lay harbor lines, as above stated, without compensation, and aias the rirht to delegate this power to a municipal corporation, such as the city Of Bridgeport, conferring upon such municipal corporation sail the immunity which the State 1taslf has. yet, nevertheless, the

IT WAS A FINE COD.
A Little Story of William NJ. Chase, che
Portrait Painter.


Several years ago 1 had a studio at
Hammersmith and was hurrying into
London one morning to transact some
business. Just as l swung around a
corner occupied by a ~fshmonger's
market my eye was attracted to a
magnificent cod stretched out for ex-
hibition on a clean slab of white mar
bic. Whatever my mood for color was
that morning, that fish completely fit
ted and filed 1t. I must paint it, l de-
cided.
l called out the proprietor and told
him what l wanted. I was a bachelor,
l explained, and did not want to buy
the big fish. I only wished the use OF
1t as a model. Could I rent it?
COW, now, SIR" he said, with true
British stolidity. Hi never rents my
fish. You see, it's Saturday, too, sir.
Hi must sell him today, sir"
However, / explained that l needed
the fish for only a few hours, and d.
rectly we struck a bargain. If after
two hours 1 still wished to keep the
fish l should buy it. at the end Of the
stipulated time the boy came. l was
not quite finished. "In a few minutes"
l said, and when I looked up he was
gone.
Shortly afterward the proprietor
came, tiptoeing in and peeping over
my shoulder. 1 could hear him softly
signing, and 1 said n%ervously, I'm a
few minutes now, in a few minutes"
"Don't 'urry, sir: don't 'urry," he
urged. "She's gettin' on! Hill take
my chances, sfr!w
When the painting was finished he
refused at first to accept any remu-
neration, but at length, with a NUT
tered apology, he charged-a shilling!
The painting was hung and shortly
afterward purchased by the Corcoran
Art gallery for a very substantial
sum.
On my next trip to London I deter
mined to call up my fishmonger, tell
him of the good fortune that had at
tended the painting and tender him
some fitting reward. To my great sur
prise he not only refused again any
sort of fee, but evinced no surprise
whatever at the figure the painting
had brought, though the price paid
represented several times over the in
vestment Of his shop.
"Ah, but 1t was a fine cod, sir!" he
said, and his eyes glowed with pride.

RUGS.
Made to Resemble the Antiques by
Chemical Washinas,

The United States buys annually
many thousand dollars worth Of what
are known to the profession as wash
ed rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs
sometimes are washed with a solution
OF chloride Of lime. a treatment which
partly beaches the colors and imparts
q soft appearance to the rug.
This chemical treatment is a process
OF washing which produces the effect
OF age and q peculiar sheen to the sur
face, which is pointed out by the un-
scrupulous dealer as a proof OF supe-
rior quality. The fact is that the proc
ess Of washing as described Invariably
weakens and in some instances de-
stroys the materials of the rug.
The progressive effect Of the chem
icais on the materials in the rug is
this: The chlorine gas contained in the
chloride Of lime attracts oxygen and
moisture from the air, by which muri-
ATTIC acid is formed. This eats away
the vitals of the rug. Sooner or later
the wool andscotton in the rug become
brittle and thus weaken the warp and
deteriorate the wool.
When this deterioration is complete
the pile of the rug may be swept away
by the ordinary process of sweeping,
IND the warp. which is the foundation
OF the rug, becomes so weak that holes
appear here and there, and soon the
rug is worthless.
~ not seldom happens that d Persian
rug Is too staring In some bright hue.
perhaps red, and Is not salable. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer will subject the
rug TO q series Of washings in chem
icaly prepared water. In this way he
turns out a rug possessing a soft n
dque sheen that IS truly captivating
and fnds a ready. purchaser at an ad-
vanced price.-Chicago Tribune.

Anxious Girl" "E. G. ST."
"Miss E. D." and Anxious" all
ask for a remedy for blackheads
and pimples. That is a question
of interest to many women, and
the cure of these blemishes means
regular, conscientious treatment.
The use of oil and cream applica-
lions to the face should be
stopped, and the face washed
thoroughly with CASTLE soap and
hot water once a day. Be sure
to rinse well in clear water, then
dash cold water over the face to
close the pores, and dry. Mas
sage lightly with the finger tips.
Adhere strictly to simple diet,
and eat plenty of fresh fruit.
Battle the body often.
Miss E. D." includes in her
question a request for dandruff
cure. This trouble is caused by
a lowered condition of health,
lack of air to the scalp, and poor
scalp circulation. Shampoo the
hair once every 10 days or so,
and rinse we'll in cold water. Ex-
