A Railroad Mans Dream.

Railroad men are strong on dreams One morning an enacheer came down to the train masters office and declared that he would not go out on his run that morning and asked for alayof. His superior asked him what the trou- ble was. and when he said that he had had a dream in the night that troubled him he was laughed at and an effort was made to induce him to take his run out. But he refused and was urged to tell his dream.
 'I dreamed last night that my broth CT was killed in head-on collision near Topeka" he said, "and later I drea med that old eos blew up." As eos was his engine, he resisted the laughter of bis friends and would not take her out. and another man was sent for to take the job.
 That afternoon the boiler of eos ex- ploded on the road, killing the sub stitute engineer and the fireman. A week later the engineers brother was killed in a collision. as he had dream ed.-Chicago Inter Ocean. |.

A Newspaper That BIames the Shadow
 While Ignoring tho Substance.
 The New York Press is stand pat ter on the tariff question. Tt sees no harm at all in high protection, but it sees, or professes to see, lot of harm in the combinations and monOpolies which restrain domestic trade. The Press says:
 eff the industrious free traders who are attacking the American protective tariff were half as zealous in their de- mand for the application of the laws against restraint of domestic trade as they are in behalf of their hobby there would be stronger public sentiment for. the removal or reduction of the tn- ternal tariffs that swell the cost of liv- ing. These tariffs that the railroads and the express companies charge, this tribute that combinations of manufac- turers and wholesalers exact from the people, are the big items in the sum of the increased cost of living"
 Granted that these combinations and coercive organizations of producers do force up prices, what are they but tke effects of the high tariff? It is the tariff that gives them foothold. When valuable special privilege is to be given out by congress, what is more natural than that those who are to share that special privilege should form solid ring so as to keep it te themselves and work it for all it is worth? That is what the trusts have done The tariff enables them to con- trol the market.
 It is absurd. then, to talk about ''trust busting' or destroying those mischievous combinations which con- spire to restrain. trade when all the time the law is affording them the power and the encouragement to com bfne for that very purpose. The fact Is that pleas of this nature are seldom seriously meant by thoseWho advocate them. Their game is to hoodwink the consumer.

RAILROAD DEFENSE
 IN $40,0O0 SUIT FOR
 BURNING OF ICE HOUSE!

New Haven, May 6.-Whether 1t was a spark from a locomotive or spon- taneous ignition that set fire to six ice houses belonging to Robbins & Pattison near Stafford. on the line of the Central Vermont railroad is the issue involved in a suit for S40,O00 damages which the owners of the ice houses are claiming from the Central Vermont railroad.
 The railroad company introduced as a witness in the trial before Judge Platt in the United States court yes terday, Prof. B.. F.. Eldred, of New York, an expert on spontaneous -ig- r1ition. He said grass taken from meadows is filled with bacteria and that these multiply and multiply and when the grass becomes hay and is packed away in a building as it was in the ice houses that the bacteria cause spontaneous ignition. It was the opinion of Professor Eldred that the destruction of the Robbins & Pat tison ice houses was the result of the bacteria in the hay causing spontaP P- eous ignition.
 The case is still on.

VERDICT AGAINST ANS0IAN
 GROCER FOR KEEPING
 STORE OPEN ON SUNDAY


 New Haven, May 8.-The case of Barkat Cado in the common pleas court was one of the results of the campaign of the Ansonia authorities against merchants and dealers who are keeping their stores open and doing business on Sunday in that town. MT. CadQ, on three counts, was charged with keeping his store open and do- ing business on the Sabbath.
 The case was interesting. One ven- erable and hoary ham sandwich was helped to the witness stand railing and was duly identified. Other vari- ous and sundry eatables figured in the case as evidence. After being out about half an hour the jury de- livered a verdict against the accus- ed of not guilty on the first count and guilty on the second and third.
 The judge deferred the sentence until next Tuesday and the jury was also excused until that date. There have been IS cases of this kind in An sonia.
