STILES HUDSON
 COMMENTS ON
 BOOM FOR GOV.

Waterbury. Nov. 17.-Stiles Judson, State Senator from Stratford. State Attorney of Fairfield county, one of the leaders of the Connecticut bar and an active force annong the politlcal workers of the State, was in Water bury yesterday for the purpose of ar gUing a motion before Judge Milton A. Shumway in the Superior court HIS appearance here at this time created the impression that he had called to see the growth of his boomlet for Gov ernor of Connecticut. his name having been mentioned in connection with the termination two years hence.
 Has it reached here? Have you really heard the news? Tell me, how was the tidinR from the frozen north received in Waterbury," asked MT Judson. but before anyone had a chance to reply he added. "I guess Sam Marsh must have started that"
 MT. Judson referred to the clerk of the Superior court who was in the party, and when he pressed MT. Marsh to know whether the latter was .wid him or agir' him.. MT. Marsh said he was out of politics, but he added there was no man in the State better quail fled for the position than the gentle man from Stratford.''
 Concerning the origin of the report. MT. Judson said if it was true that the boom had been started by the newspaper writers whose wish would be father to the thought. to see him elected chief executive of the State. he would no doubt be elected. ''but I always did stand stronger with news paper men than with those who have the selection of the candidate for Gov ernor." said MT. Judson.
 Just at present." continued MT. Jud- son. 'I am engaged in the practice of law and I am kept busy all the time. The criminal term opened in Fairfield county in September, and we had eigh- ty cases on the docket. The work was got cleared up until a little over a week ago and we had continuous ses- sions of the court all the time, in ciuding sittings on Mondays and Sat urcays."
 Drifting to the talk of the promised contest for the seat in the United States Senate now held by Senator Morgan G. BulkeleS-. a position which is said to be sought by ex-Gov. George P. Mclean, MT. Judson said it was un- fortunate that a contest for office would be a feature of the next cam paign when other important issues should hold sway. Of MT. McLean's s chances in Fairfield co1nty. MT. Jud- son thought the sentiment was about evenly divided. but it. was too early to make any predictions

Ih. cr.b In .he WhaI.,s Ear.

When the whales were still frequent along the lines of passenger travel across the Atlantic nothing was more common than to see the great beasts hurling their bulk clean out of the waves and, after a flight through the air, falling back into the sea with an enormous splash, a spectacle never failing of interest to the ocean tourist. but not due to any sportive disposi- ton on the part of the leviathan of the deep-quite the contrary. The breach Ing of the whale Is no fun for the beast It is a frantic effort to rid himself of the torture of earache- There is a marine crustacean which posters whales to the verge of endur- ance. and there seems reason to be- lieve that some whales have been driv- -en insane by these tiny parasites, It is crab of about the size of that which is found in the oyster. When it lodges on the whale it infests the inner surface of the eyelids and the ear. By swift rushes on the surface the whale is able to clear its eyes, but the crab in the inner ear cannot be disIodged by any such means

A Surprise For the Hunters.

''If the lair of a leopard is known" says writer in the Wide World Mag azine, stones will generally dislodge the lurker. recall one occasion when a leopard was supposed to be located in a cave near camp. The guns were placed around in positions command ing the exit, and a few stones were then thrown in There was, no result at first but as more and larger stones crashed in there came a faint hum ming and then a roar like the sea un- der the cliffs In a moment the air above the caves entrance grew dark with-bees. As one man sportsmen and gun bearers fled for the camp. A few were slightly stung before they could reach their tents and pull the flaps over the entrances, which the bees for some time besieged- Incredi- ble though it may sound. it is the truth that, although the camp was full of na- tive servants, horses, etc, none of those who had remained behind and were not concerned in the attack on the bees cave were stung. It was a considerable time before the bees beat retreat, but during all the time that they stayed in the cahp it was the tents of their aggressors exclusively round which they angrily buzzed-"

ABLE BODIED POOR LONDON'S
 GREAT PROBLEM
Special from United Press.)

| London, Nov. 17.-Ini a report made tto-day by General Booth. the com fmander2 of the Salvation Army. de-
 claring that that organization is ul- able to take care of ten per cent of
 tie people now applying to it for as- distance. is revealed an appalling Hcon-
 dition of distress. suffering and starva- 1 tion, brought to a terribles climax by the winter weather which set in last
 week.
 | Hundreds of thousands of British workingn1en-able-bo bodied, skilled work
 men are out of employment with their ing from lack of food, fuel and cloth | ing. General Booths report reveals the complete breakdown of the ma chinery of charitable organizations of
 Che situation to-day is the worst that has been faced in London since the formation of the United Kingdom. Many institutions have been able to give men employment only under pris- on regulations which means no re-
 muneration except escape from starva- l ton. Demands for employment are being made on the government daily During the past two or three days the suburbs. and residence districts have
 been invaded by workingmen who &C., companied by their wives and children stand in the streets and ing this plaintive verse:
 what will become of England if things go on this way? A million honest workingmen are striving day by day.
 We cannot find employment; for bread our children crave
 Some of them have died already and .s- lie in their grave"
 To add to the seriousness of the situation the uncertainty concerning l thes present political fight, particularly the unknown outcome Of the estab- | lished tariff reform, is arousing the in cipien trade upheaval that began a few weeks ago and employers aret unwfll- ing to take any risk in expanding their business until they know the outcome of the budget fight. In addition to
 this an official report just made to the government shows that during period
 of six months, 1,011. .5S6 workingmen have been forced to accept lower sal aries.
 Entirely aside from the millions of unemployed. throughout the United Kingdom, to-day. figures recently com piled show that there are nov approxi-
 mately 1.o00, GOO paupers in England and Wales to-day and that one person in. every g in the city of Iondqn1s a pauper.. Of this number 150.000 are young abIe-bodied workingmeH who have been forced to accept Charitable aid from the state stores. This is an increase of I2 per cent over last year.
 In view of shese facts every person
 who becomes an official pauper by ac- ceptihg favors. disfranchfses himself as d voter. The significance of this
 can be gained when it is realized what pride is. felt by the EnRlisnn1aninEh his power to cast a vote- It Is feared that at the present rate England will be forced to cope with an industrial reyo- lution within five years.
