Tho NeM Bonding Bill.

Commenting on the bill for the is
suing of state bonds, introduced in the
assembly at Hartford by Senator Arm
old Of Bridgeport, the Hartford Cour-
ant gives some enlightening comments
and especially the opinion of the state
treasurer with reference TO the matter.
1t seems, on the whole. that the new
proposition by Senator Arnold fits ex-
listing conditions best and is calculated
to provide for contingencies not before
arranged for. The Courant says:
The introduction of. bill authoriz-
ing an issue of $1,000, 900 8 1-2 per cent.
state bonds has caused quite a little
comment since there was already on
the books an act authorizing $500, 900
such bonds and specifying how the
money from their sale should be spent;
S1,500,000 for the library, $500 900 for
the armory, and $4,50e,000 in Install
ments for good roads. The new bill is
free from such restrictions. Treasurer
Patten, when a Courant reporter asked
him about the change, said that it
would be no easier to oVerrun apprO-
priations under this act, If it passed,
than it would be under the act passed
by the legislature of 1907. In either
case legislation would be necessary.
Mr.. Patten said that the pending bill
provided in large part for the retiring
of the balance of the state bonds now
outstanding; there are about 100000
of those, and he has added 100000 to
the amount of the new issue. The
previous bill took no account of these
maturing obligations. He pointed out,
too, that the money for these various
works IS not going to be wanted all at
once, and so the bonds will be sold
only as the money Is required. He said
that the 12-s could be sold today at a
handsome premium and he is confident
that 9 per cents could be marketed at
par under present Bridge
port Standard.

HEPBURN AND LIVINGSTON

House Member Accuses Another of
Getting in His Dotage.

washington Feb. Awhile the
house was engaged today in consid-
erins the agricultural appropriation
bill there was q sharp exchange of
words between MT. Hepburn of Iowa
and Mr.. Livingston of Georgia, two Of
the oldest living members of the house.
1t arose over colloquy over mi
nor amendment between Mr.. Living
ston and Mr.. Scott of Kansas, which
was carried on in such a low tone Of
voice that Mr.. Hepburn was led to
protest that he could not hear and
that they both were out Of order. He
laid down the parliamentary rule re-
curing members to address the
chair.
Il am very much obliged to the gen
tleman,' replied Mr.. Livingston, amid
an uproar of laughter, but he GER
tainly is getting in his dotaee."
The chair admonished the members
that they must observe the rules of
debate and address the chair.
Smarting under Mr.. Livingston's
Characterization Of him. Mr.. Hepburn
again got the floor. THE gentleman
from Georgia in his amiability has
suggested that 1 an1Ain my dotage,"
he said, land yet his evidence of that
was that I could not hear his wander
ings. But the moment the chair ad-
dressed the house in loud tones the
gentleman at once said, I cannot hear

the membership"
Although plainly vexed at first Mr..
Hepburn smiled as he sat down. the
house in the meantime being convulsed
with laughter.

SOME BIC CROWDS ARE CON-
SULT|NG STOMACH ORACLE
Cooper Says General Sale Has Made No
Difference in Number of Callers.

Although the much discussed medi-
cine is now on sale at all druggists
in New York, there has apparently
been no let-up in the crowds that are
calling at the store where Cooper is
meeting the public.
In speaking Monday of his extra
ordinary success in New York, Cooper
said: The majority of the people
who are now calling to get my medi-
cine have been sent here by friends.
There is nothing the matter with nine
out of ten people who are in poor
health but stomach trouble, brought
about by over-feeding and little out
door exercise. 1 can prove this in a
few weeks to anyone who tries Coop
er's New Discovery. AS soon as l
have proved it and they no longer feel
tired and dull and nervous they tell
their friends about it, and that beats
anything l could say on the subject.
Il thought when 1 put my medicine
on sale generally in New York there
would be a let-up at this store, but
apparently there are just as many
calling to talk with me as ever
People have not yet realized they can
get the medicine wherever they
choose. I shall continue to meet the
public at this store during the rest
of my stay in New York"

cation on Monday by New Workers.

"UneIe Joe,sv New Story.

Speaker Cannon has added to the
literature of the wordy war between
congress and the White House. "Un-
Gle Joe" is credited with a story that
has set all congress to laughing. It
deals with a member of the house who
went home after a late session at the
club wabbly as to legs and somewhat
thick as to speech. At o'clock in the
morning Mrs. Congressman dug her
snoring spouse in the ribs with her
elbow

John, wake up"
UGH" he grunted.
John. for mercy's sake, wake up!"
she whispered again, emphasizing her
appeal with a second vigorous dig.
Another grunt was all that greeted
her.
For heavens sake, John, wake up"
she whispered frantically. There are
robbers in the housed"

for jury business certain men show
up in che jury bench every time. And
the same condition of affairs exist I'm
relation to the grand jury. In the
last two or three occasions on which
a grand jury was summoned to Wa
terbury there were some men who
were on the list each time,
1t is reported to be Representative
Bishops idea to increase the number
of names on the jury list from every
town and city, and to have things so
that it will be impossible for any man
to sit on jury more than once in
three years.
In small places like Wolcott, Pros
pect and Beacon Falls, it is not diff
cult to explain why the same men
are drawn for jury duty every term
of the courts, but in cities like Wa
terbury, New Haven. Ansonia and
Derby it is another story. Until
quite recently a colored man on a
jury was indeed a strange sight in
this part of New Haven county. and
it is not a familiar one yet by any
means.
