DIED AT s7.
Out of Door Life Proved to Be Bene-
 fieial to This Man.

Alexander Clark died at the home of his daughter in Haddam Neck. on Thursday. in his 97th year. He was born March 5, 1873, at Haddam Neck and had always lived on the paternal farm with the exception of one year when he was employed on the Erie canal and two winters which he spent in Meriden.
 He was a farmer and a mechanic and was unusually methodical in all he did. He was a trustee of the M E. church and abided by the tenets of that faith. He was a democrat in politics. and always voted with that party.
 He was constantly out of doors, summer and winter, and 1t was the benefit of an out of door life that en- abled him to live to such a good old age. He was married four times and died a widower. He had been cared for in recent years by his only sur viving child, Mrs. Frank Taylor. MT. Clark was of revolutionary ancestry his grandfather, Robert Clark, having served in the revolutionary war; MiddletoWn Sun.

 Leaders oonversed Amiably.
 There were the customary crowds in the galleries of the two houses and the usual scenes attending an opening day of congress were re-enacted on the floors. The leaders of the ma jority and the minority were there and conversed amiably. all of the bitter ness engendered by the tariff fight of last summer apparently having been forgotten for the time being at least.

 Resolutions of respect for the mem ory of Senator Johnson of North Da- kota,. Representatives De Armond and Lassiter, who died during the recess, were adopted, and as a further mark of respect the two houses adjourned until noon tomorrow, the senate at 1918 and the house at 12.4o p. m.

Will Have a Fair Chance.

When the big clients who frequent Samuel Untermeyer's law office in- quire for him this week they will be told that he is busy. MT. Untermyer is busy most of the time, for that matter, but usually he finds oppor- tunity to see the big clients. Now he is defending a woman so poor that she couldn't hire a lawyer to save her life, and that is just what she needs a lawyer for. In the past, a good many poor people accused of crime have been prosecuted in New York by the best lawyers of the district attor- ney's office and defended by members of the bar who hung around the ecrim- inal courts building waiting for some thing to turn up. The defendants were at an obvious disadvantage.
 So, when Mir Untermyer last Sep tember accepted Judge Malon's as- signment to defend Augusta Chris tanti. who had stabbed her husband to death his action, and that of the court, seemed like important steps in much needed reform. Ills fee, paid by the county, will be $500, and no matter what the outcome of the trial may be, he will earn it. He is work ing with characteristic energy for his client. Onos in a while there is ap- parent justichcation for that very cu- rious theory that in a free country all persons are equal before the law Hartford Courant.

JUNK DEALERS' LAW.
Requirements Very Risid-HeaVy Pen alty Provided for Violation of Them.

The new law regarding junk deal CTS, passed by the general assembly at its last session, is very much more stringent than the old law and there is considerable doubt in the minds of a good many people if all junk dealers in Maddletown are living up to its pro- visions.
 The police intend to keep a close watch on these men and if they fan to comply with the law they will be prosecuted. The new law provides a fine of not more than $25, or impris- onment for not more than three months, or both, for any violation of its provisions.
 The particular feature of the new law fellows and 1t is this that there is doubt about many of the junk dealers observing:
 Every license granted under the provisions of this section shall desig- nate the place where such business is to be carried on, and shall continue for one year, unless sooner revoked. Every such dealer shall keep a book in which shall be written in English a description of such article. the name, residence, and a general description of the person from whom, and the time and hour when such property was received; and such book, and the place where such bushes is carried on, and all articles of property mentioned therein, may be examined at any time by the selectmen of the town. or any person designated by them, and in any city or borough by the chief of police of such city or borough, or any per son by him designated. Every such dealer shall make, weekly sworn statement of all his transactions un- der such license, describing the goods received,and setting forth the name, residence, and a description of the person from whom such goods were received, to the chief of police in the case or cities or boroughs. and in oth- CT cases to the town clerk of the town shall keep all goods purchased by him least five days before disposing of them.-Middletown Paper.

To Ra Thankful For.

There are many other things we are thankful for-that so many likely boys and youths got through the football season anvs without injury to the pre- cious rules that govern that sport; that MT. Kennedy left behind him so much money for such a respectable line of good works; that MT. Aldrich has gone to the people to learn what sort of a monetary system they pre- fer and whether they can stand a bank of issue; that the Culebra cut is half dug out: that fire and birthstone have not descended yet on Philadelphia and scorched it for it's rotten government And-oh. the Christian Science schismi Let us be thankful about that, too, that the infallibity of Moth CT Eddy promises to be sustained in all the war of antagonistic magnet isms and the wrack of trustees.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
To Elect Successor to Culberson of
 Texas, Who is to Resign.

Washington, Dec. 6.-With great se- riousness the democratic members of the senate met in caucus today to elect a successor to Senator Culberson of Texas, who has determined to resign as chairman of the caucus because of i'll health.
 A tentative programme has been ar ranged by which MT. Money, vice chairman, was to be elevated to the leadership and was to decline because of disinclination to take upon himself such duties because of i'll health. Sem ator Bacon was then to be selected as chairman.
 With this programme agreed upon, Senator Culberson's letter was read to the assemblage, and then 1t was dis covered that he had not resigned the chairmanship, but had merely stated his purpose of so doing.
 Immediately all the well laid plans of the senators were upset and further action was postponed until definite &C., tion is taken by the Texas senator.

This country is ahead of all others
in prosperity as well as pole hunting"
was the way Mr.. Gould put it. He soon
shifted. however. from poles TO rail-
roads, and said: Railroad earnings
are very good at the present time. and
l can see no foothold at all for pessim-
lists, as all conditions are favorable"
In discussing the condition of bust
ness in Europe, Mr.. Gould said that on
the whole It vas very good. He VEN
tured on a new selection OF what me
called the enterprising nations of the
world. His list in order was United
States. Germany. Italy and Japan.

piled: mo, l can't say l see a very

suited in slight recessions, December
declining from 94% to 94A to "a. The

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Sept. THE cotton
market opened firm at an advance OF
14@17 points, with business active and
excited, owing to the very strong
showing of Liverpool over the holiday,
Realizing was exceedingly heavy at
the advance. which carried prices to
the highest level reached since early
last July, but the market reacted only
two or three points and showed the
presence of an increasing outside de-
mand during the middle of the morn
ing.
The market WAS rather less active
late in the forenoon, but held within
8 or 4 points of the top In spite of con-
siderable realizing owing to a continued
demand from Southern sources and
support from some of the large trade
interests.
