WE MISS HIM.

II HE Missouri Meerschaum" is one OF
j the important industries in the land of
'show me- The annual product is valued at
almost half million and each year it is getting
larger But the Missouri Meerschaum' is diff
ferent from the old time corn cob of the days
before the war, when the corn cob was essentially
the pipe of peace. An expert on corn cobs says
OF the pipe OF this character:
"Your real cob pipe, such as Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckner enjoys, lends a
charm. a magic TO the man who smokes
that no Havana cigar ever impaired. 1t
is conducive to reverie and pleasing
thoughts Ii IS the real pipe of peace
The cob must not be steamed before the
pipe is fashioned but seasoned by the
influence of a late autumn and early
winter atmosphere.
Imagine in the Kentucky Pennyrile of
tis sixty years since an old colored slave
shelling corn for "a turn O. meal He
sets aside some dozen of the cobs that
suit his fancy. These he makes into
pipes with deft and cunning hand with
sharp knife he had employed to scrape
basket splits. When stripping tobacco
master had allowed him to choose
twenty-five or thirty pounds of the pick
of the crop. This was left in bulk the
entire winter and when in,eary June it
went into sweat it was sprayed with
old peach brandy in which new honey
was dissolved Then it was twisted and
laid away in an old dry oak 'chist' till
fall"
There must be luxury in the corn cob uneQua

How to Cure Insomnia l
Summer.

Summer.
Insomnia is more prevalent In
summer than at any other pc
riod Of the year. The excessive
heat causes restlessness, and
the HEART AND BRAIN ARE
PROMPTED INTO INCREAS-
ED ACTIVITY.
A we'll known New York ply
sician recommends the following
method of inducing sleep In the
torrid months;
"A bath of moderate duration
in lukewarm water just before
retiring will be found to be an
encourager of sleep.
"But the person should take
care not to dry himself thorough
Iy nor rub himself with a rough
towel so that the circulation is
stimulated.
The idea is that by merely
wiping off the body so that it is
yet damp at the end of the bath
the body retains the soothing
. and quieting effects Of the warm
water. The stimulus supplied
by brisk rubbing would over
come those effects. as would wa
ter Of extremes Of temperature"

A TASTE OF WHAT WOULD COME.

WATHEN the philosophical Dover News en-
w blazoned in its lively columns the pre-
dicton that in the event of Democratic victory
at the next election, there would be thirty-hve
senatorial candidates, we heartily agreed with IT,
Our only fear was and is, that the number Of
candidates as predicted by the News will prove
to be too small. We think there will be more
than thirty-hve when all the districts are heard
from.
We are led to this opinion by the lively time
that has developed among the local Democrats
over the election of various minor oihces IN TINS
citv There are candidates a-plenty and Council
has been tied up by the all absorbing question OF
who shall fill the Offices Indeed the situation is
such that somezof the Democratic critics are
warning the party of the danger of getting into
the "old ruts' There is peril OF evil notions
There is danger OF making scandal
Scandal? Impossible, with the Board OF Per
fection ever ready TO give advice.
Ii is evident that the smoothly oiled bit OF
machinery which is putting through the contest
scheme slipped cog when IT came TO the DIVISION
OF the spoils We don't think that any particular
harm is done by this disputaton among the
Democrats That was expected ofthem. Envious
persons who svant to control the party may be
angry because their slate didn't go through, and
therefore indulge in carping criticisms.
In fact the fight among the Democrats may be
taken as an additional warning 20 the RepNbl'
cans that there is much vitality in the Demo-
cratic party. Allthe growing Democratic things
are not by any means confined 70 the truck patch
OF the Democratic League. In the old days when
the Democrats were at their zenith, they were
fighting and quarreling No one then knew what
the list of the dead and wounded would be after
a Democratic State convention. The only thing
that would be peaceful about Democratic State
convention would be the opening prayer of the
preacher
OF course it is possible that too much fighting
and pickering will defeat party 1t was one OF
the causes that finally led to the defeat Of the
Democrats in this state.
But If the Democrats can sit for hours and
battle over the appointment of clerk OF council
and coal oil Inspector, and by the way the pres
ent officials are performing their duties salts
factory-how long would they sit in the Legis-
laive halls and contend over the next election OF
Senator. should they by some streak of luck
happen to win? If the present little dispute
among the Democrats is an indication, this
thirty-hve senatorial candidates, should they ever
get together, would have high old time

Sunshine BAG.

Not long ago our State President, Miss
Elizabeth r. Groves made and filled what
she called Sunshine Bag for an in
valid friend. The bag was made Of yell
low fiowered silkoline and was large
enough to hold a number Of presents. A
circular letter was sent to friends Of the
sick girl, asking II they cared to- con
tribute to the surprise, and as they every
one did and responded, the bag was soon
filled.
Each gift was neatly wrapped in tissue
paper with the donors card inside and the
packages ted with ribbon OF every color.
The gifts were put in the bag and the
ribbons allowed to hang out The bag was
carried TO the invalid and she was permit
ted to draw out one gift each day. This
was a source of enjoyment to her for a
long time, as the bag contained about
fifty gifts.
1t was a surprise and delight each day,
as the invalid did not know who had
contributed and each morning was the
pleasurable excitement Of indcclsion as to
which ribbon to draw and then the antici-
patton as to whom it would be from.
The bag and its contents gave the re-
cipent so much pleasure that I want to
pass the suggestion on 10 others, who
might want TO make one for some lonely
cripple or invalid, or old person. who
owing TO physical disability, is deprived
Of many OF the pleasures the rest Of us
enjoy.

SMARTO FEARED
 LICKING DUE
Liouor. Dealer. Therefore Had Ellis Arrested as Precautionary Measure Judgment Suspended.

The ending to the Smarto-Ellis con- troyersy came this morning when Judge Foster suspended judgment and Ellis was allowed to go. In early March Smarto sued the Lion Brewing Co. of New Haven for failure to sup ply fixtures for his place of business, and obtained judgment in his favor in the city court. The Brewing Co. ap- pealed and Smarto hired Ellis to hunt up certain witnesses and to act as in terpreter for them in securing evidence for the new trial. Ellis claims that he had to drop his work at the Bridge port Motor Co. for several days. He had been promised $60 for all his work, but had received but s15.
 Wednesday evening Tony Ellis drove up to Smartoys saloon at 6Ss Main street. and demanded that he be paid what was due him. Smarto said that E1Iis had signed a receipt for $10 which had been given him and that that settled the matter. as the receipt read to the effect that the full amount as agreed had been paid. Smarto tele- pfoned for the police. Officer Wes- ion came and advised Ellis to get his money by an action in the courts. Ellis drove away but was asked to re- turn to the saloon There he was placed under arrest by Weston at the request of the Hauor dealer.
 Judge Foster did not think that there Was more than a technical breach of peace in the case and so suspended 5udxment Attorney Frederic A. Bart Ietf appeared for Ellis.

PUBLIC UTILITIES REPORT IS READY
 FOR SUBMISSION
Commission of Three Members For Telephone, Gas and
 Water.
GIVEN POWER TO INQUIRE

Hartford, July 16.-The special com n2ittee on Public Utilities adopted a bill yesterday afternoon, by a vote of nine in favor and two not voting.' It deals exclusively with telephone, light ing and water companies. There has been practically no supervision of these monopolies, while there has been a railroad commission to deal with that great interest. The bill estab- fishes a commission of three mem bers who shall have supervision of features is that it will effectually do away with stock watering and with issuing bonds for more than the bond ed property is worth.
 There are to be three commissioners at salaries of s, 900 each, the same as paid to the railroad commissioners These commissioners prepare sched- u1es of questions which must be ans wered. All the records of the board are open to the public and everything done must be recorded. The com missioners are empowered to employ experts when they wish to. Bond-is- suing and stock-issuing are carefully guarded, and the penalties for deals such as this state has seen are very severe. The commissioners have pow and to conduct such inquiries as they deem best.
 The customer with a grievance has a court in constant session to which he can go.
 The members of the committee who did not vote are Chandler of Rocky Hill and Whiton of New London.

This Time Hydraulic Go. Agrees to Lay. Crushed
 Stone or Asphalt.
MUD BANKS CARTED OFF

Matthew H. Rogers. president of the Permanent Paving Commission, has made arrangements with the Bridge port Hydraulic company whereby they will fill their trench on Main street from East Washington avenue to Fair field avenue with something more sub staEtial than dirt. The commission said it would be satisfied if eight inch es of trap rock was put on the top of the ditch and well rolled. 2.
 To this proposition tn company as- sented, but later an official Of the com pany called upon Mayor Lee and stat ed that the company might lay sheet asphalt instead of stone. The company must also relay the brick at the june tion of Fairfield and Main street.
 In tn past two days Supt. Colgan has scraped off and removed from the asphalt pavement 250 loads of mud. Last night a street sweeper was run over the thoroughfare so that it was in a more presentable condition this morning than it has been anytime since the first of May.
 Several weeks ago Director of Pub lie Works Biltz announced through the Farmer that the company would be required to face it's trench with trap rock In the meantime the business men have been driven half frantic by the condition of the thoroughfare, all most knee deep in muck.

JOB FOR ONE TOCOSTSTATE
 MUCH MONEY
Judson Pays His Compliments to Politicians Who Infest
 Capitol.
LEE WANTS GOOD MAYOR

States Attorney Stiles Judson told the manufacturers at their outing yes terday at Rivercliff that it was up to them, working with the business men of the state, to see that legislation es- sential to the welfare of the state should be enacted at Hartford. He paid his respects to the professional politicians who infest the corridors of the capitol and who may generally be found working against those measures which are calculated to benefit the people of the state. He condemned the bill now before the Senate, which seeks to impose upon the state an expendi- ture of between S30000 and $40, GOO for the creation of an automobile com missioner and a horde of underlings and asserted that the principal reason for the presentment of this bill is to provide a place for a professional pol itician. MT. Judson appealed to the business men and manufacturers present to make themselves felt at the primaries in order that men known to be worthy should reach the general assembly.
 Mayor Lee also spoke briefly. He urged the business men and manufac- turers to take an active interest in To- cal politics and get the right man for mayor.

WASHINGTON BRIDGE BENDS UNDER CARS
At Request of Company Commissioners Make
 Inspection.
NOT BUILT FOR TROLLIES

The County Commissioners are today making an inspection of Washington Bridge over the Housatonfc in conjunc- ton with the New Haven County Com missioners, the bridge being in both counties. The inspection has been ask ed by the Connecticut company. They claim that the draw has settled and that it springs every time a car passes over it, causing the track connections to go wrong.
 Washington Bridge has given trouble since the trolley cars passed over it. Some time ago, it was thought the bridge would be condemned, but all the faults that were then found were remedied. The bridge was originally built for wagon and pedestrian use only. It is believed that the commis- sioners will not require the company to bear the cost of any repairs that are made.
