The Summer Time Table.

The summer train schedule of the New Haven railroad went inta effect on Sunday, and the changes of local interest are as follows
 The sunday morning train that has been leaving here al io.3o for Willi- mantle. which was the end of the run, now leaves here at i0.5l. and runs through to Hartford, where it Is due at l2.ss p. m. The Sunday afternoon train which formerly left Putnam at $40 for Willimantio now leaves at 70, reaching Nillimantic at s.a5.
 The sunday morning train for Ros- ton which has been leaving here at 7.ss now leaves a few minutes earlier, at 7.2i. Returning from Boston the time of this train Is unchanged.
 The Sunday morning train for Wor- cester leaves now at 7.au a. m., instead of 7.S5, and the Sunday evening train for Worcester leaves at SD, m., instead Of JAS.
 On week days the changes include the alteration of time of the departure ef the afternoon train from Williman- tic to Boston from 3.ao to 3.56, six minutes later. The running time of the other trains in aud out of Putnam over the Midland division, Boston to Niilimantie, remain the same.
 Between New London and Worces-
 
 ter the changes that interest Putnam include the departure of the north bound morning train at I.a2, instead bound for Worcester five minutes later, at l2.So, and of the northsoound train now leaving here for Worcester at S.4T to 3.5s, eleven minutes later. The train that has been arriving here from Worcester at 2. 10 to connect with the express for New York at a.27 Is discon- tinued, as is also the train leaving here at 4.30 D. m. for Worcester.
 The most notable innovation of the new schedule, however, Is the restora- ton of the Air Line special, Fitchburg for New York, via Worcester, Putnam, Willimantic, Middletown and New Haven. This train will replace the two taken of. It Is due to leave Put nam for New York al l.26 p. m., ar- irving in that city at 5.S0 p. m. Re- turning, the train leaves New York at 5.02 p. m., reaching Putnam at 9.0l p. m.
 Putnam Is one of the eight principal freight transfer points on the New Haven system and this prestige was increased Monday when three addi- tional freight crews commenced to make this city their headquarters.
 The Bar Harbor expresses will be put on June 70, and will stop at Put nam as last year.

ENGLAND HOLDS SHIP
BUILDING SUPREMACY

London.-The annual review of
Shipping Review has proved a very
interesting document indeed and Is
being closely scanned. The output
of the yards in the United Kingdom,
according to the Review, during 1903
was considerably more than that OF
all other shipyards in the world COM
bined. and England seems practically
alone in showing an increase in this
respect over the output of 1908.
The figures from the shipyards OF
the United States show a decline from
32O,361 tons to 2S1,27 tons. Gov
many also shows a decline, but France
and Holland show small increases.
Here are the figures of the Review:
United Kingdom - 1908, vessels,
1925; tons. 1,O76.572; 1909, vessels,
1907; tons. 1,181,52S.

(From William Wolff Smith, Newspa-
per Correspondent, Washington
Washington, d. c., Feb. IA bull
letin from the Ohio branch of the
American Health League, of the COM
mittee of one hundred, dealing with
the benzoate of soda question is be-
ing widely circulated in Washington
among members of congress, physi-
clans and others interested in the
pure food movement. 1t does not
treat of the scientific effects of BEN
zoate of soda ingested in small guam
titles by perfectly healthy individ-
uals, but gives the observations made
by the secretary of the Ohio branch,
as to the use of refuse from the to-
mato canning factories made possible
through benzoate of soda. The bulle-
tin says, in part:
But the waste! This is a most re-
pulsive, nauseating mass of ferment-
ed, rotten garbage, consisting of peel
ings, cuttings and decayed and partly
ripe tomatoes, loosely and carelessly
handled. 1t is scooped up with shov-
els and buckets from the floors, reek
ing with filth, hurriedly placed in
huge open watts, though very often, in
the rush of the season, 1t Is carried
out and heaped upon the ground, un-
protected from dirt and contamina-
ton. Here it is frequently infested
with maggots, before receiving any
care or attention and is finally dis
posed of by being converted into pulp
and placed in second hand whiskey
and wine barrels. Now it appears that
this mass, filthy and germ laden. will
speedily proceed to excessive fermen-
tation unless it is afforded in some
way adequate treatment, and your
secretary learned that this treatment
consists of an addition to it of a guam
tity of benzoate of soda, thereby pro-
tecting it from ultimate putridity.
In this condition it is finally sold to
food manufacturers who make 1t up
into ketchup, soups, etc, which are
palmed off on the public as being
made from fresh, ripe, sound toma-
toes. prepared with 1-10 of one per
cent of benZoate of soda"
Continuing the secretary. Mr.. Ben
| | aBree of Cincinnati, says.
"The writer. in the name of health,
wishes that each member could peep
| into one of these establishments and
observe the indescribable filth every
whereof the rotten waste, of the
employees, barrels and tanks, of the
buildings and surroundings-and then
could follow a sample of this disgust
ingly offensive substance along until
it is finally put into a bottle as ketch-
up. He could then test and appreciate
for himself the power of this majes-
tic drug to conceal inferior, rotten
raw material"
Mr.. LaBree concludes with an an
alysis of DR.. Longs experiments with
rotten tomatoes and exposes the fall

BAKER SHEEPMEN AND
FORESTERS HAVE TROUBLE

Baker City, Ore, Feb. 12.-Trouble
between the sheepmen of this section
and the forestry officials has reached
an acute stage and there is every
probability that the grievance of the
Baker-Union Counties Woolgrowers'
association will be appealed to the Of
ficials at washington.
A meeting was held in this city yes
terday between X. H. O'Brien of the
Wallowa reserve, and District Forest
er Chapman, and the wool growers Of
last year the officials agreed to allow
on the wallowa reserve $4,000 sheep
from Wallowa county and 10000
900 from Baker and Union counties.
The sheepmen now ask that the orig
inal limit be established again and the
larger number of sheep admitted.
Serious charges are made against
H. K. O'Brien Of the Wallowa reserve,
the sheepmen believing and intimat-
ing that Mr.. o'Brien's business inter-
ests, his relationship commercially,
socially and financially are of such
a nature that he is unduly influenced
in matters pertaining to the range.
The sheepmen demanded of Mr..
Chapman that they have a hearing
on these allegations and that he give
a decision. All complaints were re-
duced to writing and Mr.. Chapman
took the case under advisement. 1t is
generally believed that the meeting.
which ended yesterday afternoon. is
merely the foundation of an appeal
by the sheepmen to the department at
Washington.

WHITMAN OBJECTS TO
NEW BASKETBALL RULES

Whitman College, Walla Walla,
wash.-There is a general dissatis-
faction at Whitman College over the
basketball rules under which games
are being played in the northwest
this year.
Five years ago the intercollegiate"
basketball rules were considered so
rough that Yale, Harvard, Cornell,
Princeton and Pennsylvania cut the
game off their schedules. Since that
time the A. A. U. rules, under when
the game is played strictly On lts
merits, regardless of the men, have
become very popular all over the
country. At the meeting last fall,
when the intercollegiate league Tor
the northwest was formed, the old
Intercollegiate rules were adopted
over the protest of Whitman, and the
outcome has been exactly as predict
ed. The games with o. A. c. recently
were little short of football games,
and were so rough that 1t was aoso-
lutely impossible for a referee to call
the fouls. The Whitman men are
against the rules unanimously
CAPTAIN Belt says that the new rules
increase roughness and unfairness'
and eliminate fast consistent team
work. Howard Shubert, guard, says
that open play, which was the oeau-
ty of the old game, has been lost'
Ned" Barnes, forward, says that II
is now a rougher game than football
with more chances of fouling without
detection. George Mccoy, center says
"Reef counts more than skill, and
weight more than training"

SECTIONAL DISEASES.
Discovered That Puget Sound Peopie
Have Enlarged Adams Apples.

Washington. - Surgeon General
Rixey of the navy has discovered that
the South is not the only part OF the
country that has it's own sectional pet
ailment. It is true that the hook
worm has established it's residence in
the South. Navy enlistments show
that So per cent of applicants from
the south were harboring this dimun-
tive viper in their insides somewhere.
But. If you come from the Puget
Sound region or the Northwest in
General il is extremely likely that
your Adams apple is much larger
than it really ought to re. This is
known medically as thyroidal en-
largement, and though it is not so seri-
Gus a proposition as sheltering
hookworm, it goes to show that the
South is not alone among the various
sections Of the country that have their
particular weaknesses.
Another curious case was discov-
cred in oklahoma. Following a heavy
fall of snow IT was discovered that 80
per cent of applicants who presented
themselves for enlistment we're suf-
fering from color blindness, though
they were not at all aware Of 1t. This
condition prevails generally over the
plains region where the expansive
reaches of white in the wiLter time
have a curious effect upon the visual
faculties. The trouble is that one
cannot distinguish between blue and
rose purple during this period of the
year.

STATUE OF BEN FRANKLIN
IN DISREPUTABLE CONDITION

Washington.-The city of Philadel-
phia apparently does not appreciate
the honor and glory shed upon it by
the late Benjamin Franklin.
Anyway it has allowed the statue
of the philosopher and statesman
which stands in front of the postoffice
to fall into such disreputable condi-
tion that people are writing COM
plants about it to the treasury de-
partment.
In self-defense the department has
replied that the statue was donated
to the city Of Philadelphia by Justis
G. Strawbridge and was placed in
front of the building in May, 1899,
with the permission of the depart
ment. But, it is pointed out, the care
Of the statute does not devolve upon
the government, and, even II it did,
there is no appropriation to keep it in
presentable condition.

A LITTLE FROG IN
A GREAT PUDDLE
BOW ONE CONGRESSMAN
LEARNED HIS POSITION
Newly Elected Representative, Full OF
Sense Of his importance, Is Made
to Feel His Insignificance by Low
est Menials.

Washington-A member of con-
pess may be the biggest sort of a
frog In the small puddle whose citi-
sens elect him, but when he hits the
national capital, he is lost in the en-
quilting greatness OF the national pud-
die,
Apropos OF which certain grizzled
veteran in the house was moved to
tell the following true story:
FLUSHED with the sense Of his own
Importance and full Of the glory Of
representing a certain body Of citi-
xens OF this great nation, newly
elected congressman stepped out of
the big Union station here last March,
glanced at the dome of the capitol
with pride, and, grasping his carpet
bag, proceeded out into the open.
He had come to see the inaugura-
ton and be ready to take the oath
when the special session convened.
Around him in the station was tre-
mendous crowd OF strangers, here for
March 4.
"The newly elected one took a
street car and rode down Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The conductor came
through the car, yelled Fare in the
scared face of the representative, and
extensively admonished him to hustle
and produce. The congressman
flushed at the insult, reached down in
his trousers pocket and dug up a
$40 bill, which he proffered.
"'Nothin' doin' remarked the con-
ductor. I can't change that; gimme
a smaller one
"I haven't any less retorted the
member
"'Then get off'n the car said the
conductor rudely.
"'Why. I'll have you know I'm Con-
gresham So-and-So, the outraged
representative expostulated. How
dare you talk of putting me off this
carp
"'Aw, get off, yelled the conduc-
tor. undismayed, and, suiting the ac-
ton to the word, he pushed the Hon
orable So-and-So off
This happened just in front of one
of the big hotels down town. The
member picked his way into the lob
by and interviewed the clerk.
"I desire a room and bath he
stated loftily
"'Sorry there isn't a one here the
functionary responded wearily, for the
Inauguration rush was on in full force
"Well,' began the member. I'm

I've amt got ROOM interrupted
the clerk. Sorry" and he rushed over
to the bellboys, ignoring further con-
versation.
"The crestfallen member slowly
wended his way out to the street
again. He espied crossing police

"Kindly tell me- he began, in that
T-am-It' manner. where 7 can secure

"The cop had been on duty eight
hours and had handled several thou
sand people while standing exposed to
the cold winds, and was not enjoying
It either.

TRAMP STAYS ANOTHER
DURING STAY IN CELL

Paris-Three tramps who asked at
the police station for permission to
spend the night in a cell to escape
from the weather we're accommodate
ed, and a little afterwards a fourth
applicant was lodged in cell next
door, the door between the two cells
being open.
Some time during the night a dis
pute ensued between the tramps, end
ing in a violent alteration, during
which the tramp who had been last
accommodated plunged a knife into
the heart of one of the others, kill
ing him almost instantly.
The fight took place in the intense
darkness of the cell, and the compan-
