LARGE RUSH TO
BECOME CITIZENS
Over 1900 Declarations of Intentions
Have Recently Been Filed.

That the politicians are getting very
busy in the way of getting out new
voters< not only for the coming state
election on the Sth of November, but
for the presidential election of two
years hence, was evidenced at the Of
flee of the United States circuit court,
where there We're numerous appliea-
tions from among newly arrived for
eignerS for declaration of intention
papers and also for petitions for nat
uralization. The former paper has to
be sworn to in the court two years be-
fore the latter paper can be taken out
The rush is greater this year than
last because of the fact that the in
tention papers must be filed now il
the applicants wish to have a voice in
the coming presidential election. In
all there are probably 1900 or more
declarat tons of intentions and applica
tons for full papers now before the
court here
Similar applications are also being
filed in Waterbury. Bridgeport and
New London
OF the applicants which have thus
far come in here the principal num-
Der seems to be from among the Rus
SLAMS the Lithuanians. the Poles, the
-Austrians and the italians. There is
also an increase of applications from
among the Irish immigrants All of
the applicants seem to be of a very
fair class. 1t is impossible to tell
which way their politics are inclined
In taking their oath as a voter here,
al of them have to manifest a knowl-
edge Of the history and traditions of
this country and to renounce allie
glance to the country from which they
have come
1t is understood that many of these
embryotic citizens are actuated in
their course by politicians who are
seeking to bring them into one camp
or the other.

Eishernan's Luck.

The trouting season in Connecticut
recently closed does not appear to
have been altogether a pleasurable or
a favorable one. Several ta.usrs ce1i-
spired to make it less joyous than it
ought to be. at least in the estimation
of the disciples of Walton who look
to find some redeeming features in
the situation when the fish will not
bite and the weather is such that re
side issues can not be enjoyed One
can not roll on the ffowery bank and
enjoy communing with nature in q
drizzle, and a condition precedent to
taking any comfort of that sort in the
consciousness of some fish in the
basket even if no phenomenal catch
has been made. THE trout season
in Connecticut ended Thursday" says
the Hartford Times, "unwept, union
ored and unsung" Although some
good catches We're made early and a
few very large fish reported taken the
weather conditions have been unfav-
orable most of the time, and most
fishermen call it a bad year. Part of
the time there was too much rain,
and the cold weather lasted late and
was of the kind to discourage the
fishermen if not the fish Yet there
was not much to show that fish were
scarce, as some had expected. 1t was
usually possible to see plenty of trout
by poEing under the banks. but it was
hard to catch them. What VINE.
caught We're generally in unusually
good condition. The number of fish
under size, but not much under prom
ises well for the next year.-I:ridge-

An Eccentric VIII.

Novelists have seldom invented a
more eccentric will than that devised
by the late Robert G. D. Dryenforth, a
rich patent lawyer in Washington,
for the control of his adopted son AMI
heir during the next 20 years. The
heir is nov eight: he must enter the
high school at Il. and Harvard at IS,
preparing at Harvard for OXFORD.
After leaving Oxford he is to take the
West Point course, get d commission.
and resign it. Then he is to study law
and become a lawyer. His vacations
are to be spent in seven prescribed
countries, to be visited in a fixed
order. He is not to associate with his
foster-father's wife and daughter, and
is to be educated by his guardians as
to the artful and parasitical nature
OF most of the unfortunate sex. He
is to be reared in the Episcopal church
and specifically must not become a
Roman Catholic. At %, if he complies
with all these Ella borate conditions he
is to inherit an estate which ought to
be of billion dollars at the least to
compensate him for his loss of free
dom. But possibly the courts may hold
that SO eccentric an educational
scheme is evidence of an unsound
mind-it is like a misfit banquet
ordered by a parVenu His career
might make good material for a novel
If it We're not SO exceptional; the
writer Of fiction has to consider proba-
bflty as well as actuality.-Sprin gfield

erownlow WEI Be Missed.

Walter Preston Brownlow. who died
n Johnson City, Tenn, on Friday was
long a member of Congress and was 4
man who had no desires TO be either
a reformer or an economist. Once
when asked for the guiding principle
of his record in Congress he declared:
I have the proud record of never
having voted against any proposition
to take money out of the public treas
ury" He was unquestionably very
successful in getting federal appro-
priations for his district down in
Tennessee and even went so far in
this matter that the House Com
n,ittee on a pprOpria tons OF which he
was a member. had to call him down.
Mr. BrCWnFow told the committee how
much he appreciated their kindness to
his district that his people appreciated
it also. and that as a result had de-
cided to present to the governm ent.
free of all encumbrances, a valuable
piece of land in Tennessee in which
the body of Andrew Johnson was
buried. After he got through talk
were in tears and all of them thanked
him and his district profusely.
But they changed their tune the next
session, when Mr.. Brownlow again APP
peared before the committee and
bIandiy asked for an annual appro-
take care CT the cemetery the people
of his district had worked off on the
federal government. He got it too.
but was told that in the future
Greeks bearing gifts would be looked
uron with suspicion
This hunt for appropriations was.
however, only an incident in his Wash
ington career. He was no orator and
made but few speeches but in many
respects he proved a very useful MEM
Der. He will be missed by,-his fellows
and doubly missed in Tennessee, which
he served so well.-Ba1timore Ameri-

Cause of Failure.

With some Of US there is no reason
ing out the cause of our difficulties.
We go to church and listen to the
Word of God as spoken by His minis
every success achieved there are
hundred failures we realize fully that
poverty and riches go hand in hand,
and we learn as the years pass and
inequalities exist III every line of hui
man endeavor, but we somehow fail
to grasp the truth that the inequali-
ties which exist in material things are
duplicated in the moral forces of
life as well. We seldom consider the
moral aspect of a question, but think
of it only as it affects US materially
work, fortunately for some of us be
cause in many cases our choice would
be controlled by it's case of accom-
plishment rather than by our quail
fications for its performance. Often
times we start out iTnbubed with our
own ideas as to how we shall pass our
lives, when some sudden turn in
Fortunes wheel Will scatter those
ideas far and wide and comnei us to re-
adjust our intentions even if our views
remain the same Then there follows
a continuous battle between our am
bition on the one hand and necessi-
ty on the other and in these over
flowing days of development and COM
petition necessity generally wins out
in the long run How many a man
whose early life has been passed in
affiuence, whose every reasonable de-
sire has been gratiffed, and who had
apparently every right to expect long
years of happiness and comfort, has
seen his dreams vanish one by one
and reality. with all its exactness of
detail and grimness of determination,
take their place.-CharIesto News
and Courier.
