Herr Hager, rdch and influential Berlin banker. frequently had watches picked from his pocket At first he had recourse to all kinds of safety chains; then one morning he took no precaution whatever and quietly al- lowed himself to be robbed. At night, on returning from business, he took up the evening paper; he uttered an exclamation of delight. A watch had exploded in a mans hands. The yic- tin's hands were shattered and the left eye destroyed. The crafty banker had filled the watch with dynamite. which exploded in the operation of winding.

Prof. David W. Marks, who died fin London recently, was probably the only Jewish minister who held a place with the same congregation for 69 years. He was 97 years old, but was a member of the younger class" having been the first clergyman of his faith to cast aside, in an English congregation, some of the antique usages and to make the service of the reformed kind. He was recognized as one of the learn ed men of his time, but was not a uni- versity graduate

There is only one other kind of graft known to the legislature which equals this, and that is the profuse way in which pocket knives, fountain pens. tooth brushes and other toilet articles are bought for members and distributed to appreciative friends. The press has condemned this, practice for the past twenty years, and this united action of it's representatives ought to put a stop to it. The members should forget precedent now where precedent supports something akin to dishon- 'esty, and act to save their own repu- tation for honesty as well as the states money.

REPORTERS, eRATuITIEs.

The Daily Newspapers Publishers association of Connecticut, and the Connecticut Editorial association, com posed of the weekly newspaper men, are now both on record as protesting against any appropriation by the gen. eral assembly for reporters gratuities. The $500 apiece paid to legislative correspondents is described in one of the resolutions as an imposition on the state treasury and an unjust re- flection on the newspaper profession. No self-respecting man can afford to take it. and it is to be hoped that the general assembly will decide not to offer it, now that the newspapers have declared against it.-Waterbury Re- publican.

HE DID RIGHT.


 Chief of Police Cowles gives two reasons for preventing Emma Gold man, the anarchist, from lecturing in New Haven last week. In the first place her manager, Dr. Reitman. is on record as having declared that the assassination of President Mckinley was justified. and in the second place the Goldman woman is such a fire brand that the chief feared that 8 roughhouse and rioting would cer- tainly attend the meetings she sought to hold. The chief stands pat" he insists that Miss Goldman's incendiary lectures always result in disorder and that he won't allow her to make trou- ble in New Haven so long as he has the power to stop her.-Meriden Jour nal
 The American people will never agree as to the limits of license, and many good and honest citizens regard Chief Cowles' action as a mistake. For their sakes, let's admit that 1t is a mistake. It has to be admitted that he knows the character of the parties who are denied license and the temper of the audience they will have to meet, and if his judgment CO., incided with that of his severest crit ics, and Emma Goldman was given a free rein, what would be said if a mob resulted and innocent people were injured and perhaps killed? He would be justly blamed. Chief Cowles has erred on the right side if he has erred at all; and that is the only sufferable error that a chief of police is allowed fn mako

HURDETTE AND FOSTER.

Robert j. Burdette, the former
Iowan who recently was compelled to
give up the pastorate of the Baptist
Temple in Los Angeles on account of
Ill health, has written a letter to a
friend regarding the case of Prof.
Foster, the Chicago university pro-
fessor whose writings and teachings
started heated discussion among the
Baptists. Mr. Burdette believes that
Prof. Fosters theological views are
not at all in harmony with Baptist
principles and teachings, and he
writes his friend that he is reminded
of story. He says:
"Dr. Foster reminds me very much
OF the dog-a. very good, high bred
and thoroughly trained dog, you I'M
derstand-that every morning for
three years chased railroad train
that ran past the farm. The farmer
and his wife were watching the per-
sistent but vain pursuit one warm
summer murning.
81 wonder the wife said, what
makes the foolish dog chase the train
SO persistently?'
: Never thought about that replied
sthe farmer, but I've often wondered
what he would do if he caught it.
Mr.. Burdette's health may be too
poor to permit his remaining in pas
toral work, but his funny bone re-
mains in good working order.
