After Senator Buckley.

Those who remember the forcible
attack made by certain clergymen on
Morgan G. Buckley six years ago,
when he was a candidate for United
States senator to succeed Joseph R
Hawley, will probably feel that the ac-
ton taken at Torrington this week by
the conference of Congregational
chruches means a repetition of that
attack. A resolution was passed "in
view Of the large importance to the
moral interests of Connecticut of the
moral legislation for which we must
look to the next general assembly, and
particularly of the United States sena-
torship," urging the members ito do
their utmost to arouse the moral SEN
timents of their several towns In favor
of the election Of legislators who will
give to our state eficient laws con-
servative of morals and United
States senator who shall represent
those ideals of personal and political
integrity for which Connecticut his
torically stands" There is no mistak-
ing the language. This evidently means
that the ministers are going to oppose
Senator Buckley as they did before
and their opposition at that time was
a feature of that memorable campaign.
1t was, however, unsuccessful, and who
knows but that Senator Buckley may
have done penance since and hes re-
habilitated himself in the good graces
of the clergy? They, however, will
hardly approve Of the movement prac-
ticed then and resumed now Of secur-
ing the nomination Of men to the leg
islature whose only qualification is
their willingness to support this or
that man for senator. The ministers
have an opportunity to do the state a
great service in making war on such
action. 1t is bad all around, it sub
ordinates the interests Of the entire
state to that of two men and is I'm
posing on the people.-New Britain

But one morning, the last she was

slight headache and did not get down
to breakfast. Later when she did
come down she found that the Amerf-
cans had gone to walk together. The
sun, which had been bright enough
before, clouded suddenly. Penelope's
headache also began to be much worse
than she had thought 1t was. She
crept back to her room and locked
the door, Then she sat down before
her mirror and stared at rather pale
reflection in the glass.

Penelope, trying to smile.

American, abruptly. He pushed open

There was a singing sensation be-

put up her handkerchief to relieve It,
quite suddenly she found herself Sob

PENSION SYSTEM.
Plan Adopted by Directors Goes Into
Effect Jan. I, 1910.

President w. c. Brown of the New
York Central lines announced after a
meeting recently of the directors of
the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad company, the Lake
Shore and the Michigan Southern
Railway company and the Michigan
Central Railroad company. that the
boards had "a opted plan for a pen
sion system for the employees of all
these lines. Its extension to the other
principal lines of the system is also
under consideration.
Under the plan employees on becom-
ing 70 years old will be retired. If
they have been in the service of one of
the companies continuously for ten
years Immediately preceding their re-
tiremen they will be entitled to a pen
sion. An employee who has been 20
years in continuous service and has
become unfit for duty may be retired
with a pension, although he has not
reached the age. of 70 years.
The amount of the pension is / per
cent. for each year of continuous SER
vice. passed upon the average rate Of
pay received for the ten years preced-
ing retirement.
This means that an engineer, for in
stance, whose salary has been $500 a
year and who has been in the service
forty years. will received a pension OF
$50 a month, or $500 a year. And 1t
does not in any way restrict his future
activities. He may go into any busi-
ness he chooses to.
The pension system will become ef-
fective Jan. 1, and within the next
year 1,765 men will be retired. The
system will be administered by board
composed Of the following officials Of
the New York Central lines: J. Cars
Jensen, A. II. Smith, G. z. Shaft and
A. H Harris, vice presidents: r. H.
L'Homm edieu, general manager, M. G..
r. R.; J. F. Deems, general superin-
tendent. M. p, r. S. & NJ; D. G. Moon,
general manager. L. s. G. M. S. r. r.,
and J. @ Van Wrinkle, general man
ager, c c. c. G. st. l.. R. R..
There has been pensioners on the
Central, but they were taken care OF
at the discretion of the board Of di-
rectors. There has been no system.
The one adopted is similar to that Of
the Pennsylvania railroad.
The idea, it was reported, originated
with e. II. Hartman. The resolution
calling for the creation of the fund
was introduced by by ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, w. K. Vanderbilt, Marvin Hew-
lit and 'ex-President w. H. Newman
