Edgewoods better stick to Bridge port if they expect to tear off the victories. For the past three Sundays they have taken it upon themselves to dust it out of town, each time beating it back with a defeat clinging to them.

KILLED FOR A DEER.

Washington, Conn.,, Nov. "A telegram from a lumber camp in Vancouver, B. C., announces the death of Dana Gibson. The young man met his death while hunting, another hunter mistaking him for a deer in the dense forest. Dana Gibson was born and brought up here, attending the Gunnery and the Ridge schools. He was 21 years old.

THUNDERBOLTS EATING EVERYTHING THAT IS
 COMING TO BRIDGEPORT

tory. An attempted field goal by Ba- ker was blocked, the ball rebounding way into Thunderbolt's acreage, Meriden man recovering it With the start of the second period the ball was in the invaders mesa. Due to a nifty 40 yard run by Baker around right end the pigskin was brought within hailing distance from where it was showed over by Halopin. Before the period had been completed Baker again made another hobby scoot around the end, this time for 45 yards. Baker was given the pigskin, skirting the end for another touchdown, followed by kick ing the goal
 At the start of the third period smith was injured and had to be SUD- planted by Mosher, who put up a bril- liant offensive game. making his yards every time he took the ball. The wis 1tors grew huffy in the third and fourth periods and had many verbal arguments with Referee Waters. Like beaten team they were of the belief that they were getting the worst of it in every decision. However they fought hard, and really did make a determined effort to score. perhaps playing better football than that which marked their first and second period play. On a number of occasions they made first down, but could not seem to put the ball across. Two forward passes by their quarterback to the right end featured Good kicking by Baker and fine returning of punts by Finn brought the ball far into Meri- den territory in the fourth period Smalling's work in this period shone out brightly. He worked in a number of nifty plays and by his ground gain ing made it possible for himself to carry the ball across for the last touch- down of the game.

congress became aroused and enacted law introduced by Senator (after- wards President) Harrison. which was intended to curb the power and influ- ence of bond sharks" and protect the people against their own improvi- dence. This act fixed a debt limit, and provided that thereafter there should be no bond issues except upon express authority of congress. ratified by thirds of the taxpaying voters
 The constitution which undertakes to sweep away these safeguards will no doubt be approved in due course by the people of Arizona, for it seems that anything. however unwise. will be accepted, provided only that it bears a democratic label

Current Comment
INDIANA AND THE COMMISSION
 PLAN

So many Indiana cities have shown a lively interest in the commission form of government that it is not improbable that a bill giving per mission to adopt such government will be passed by the next iegis'a- ture Such a bill got as far as a third reading in the last legisla- ture, and sentiment in the state in favor of the commission plan Is growing. Indianapolis, according tC the Star of that city, will ask per mission to change over. and among the cities mentioned as likely to make similar requests are Terrc Haute, Fort Wayne. Richmond and New Albany. The legislature will not provide a commission govern ment for any city. If it does any ly empower cities to adopt it for themselves
 One of the interesting and impor tant developments in this country. in recent years has been a growing appreciation of the advantages of such simplicity as the commission plan affords in the government uf cities. Another advantage. and one always emhpasized by advocates Of the plan. is that candidates for com missions are named as citizens. hot as republicans or democrats. The merit system prevails in cities gov erned by commissions. Hartford mt

RACE SUICIDE AND FLATS.

The nation that invented French flats and which is not guiltess re- garding race suicide has become frightened regarding the cumulative effect of it's acts in restraint of pop ulation, and is devising a remedy. Last year deaths exceeded births in France by 2S,205, and the deputies have been introducing laws about it ever since The latest one is reported by cable, and penalizes all renters of apartments who discriminate against children. hoping thus to make life easier for parents. Any landlord who refuses to, let apartments to parents is liable to q fine of from 9 to 90 francs and to be doubled upon d second offense.
 The motive was praised in the dep uties. but the details were criticised. It was proposed as a substitute that whenever flats failed tO have a child population of so to each 20 families the landlord should be fined accord ing to the deficiency in the propor- ton of children. Thus it was hoped to set the landlords bidding for pa rents who would save the landlord from fines. It is a great idea and may be referred to the congress -which will be elected when the col onel runs for his third term as pres ident-New York Times.

prevalent that parliament was about to adjourn. preliminary to a new gen eral election. the militant suffragettes determined upon another of their re- fined demonstrations. Premier As quith had already pledged his party. if returned to power. not only to permit the introduction and discussion cf an equal suffrage bill. but to permit a vote thereon. The extent of this con cession can only be understood when it is remembered that in comparison with the much abused Cannon rules" of the American congress, the rules of procedure in the house of commons are intolerable to people who desire to offer bills that are not approved by | the government. The cabinet decides arbitrarily what bills shall have \ hearing, and the only remedy against this arbitrary policy is to carry vote of disapproval against the govern ment, thereby throwing it out of row. CT and forcing a general election. Bills are of two classes-those that are merely permitted" to have a hearing and bills that are backed" by the government. The defeat of a per mitted" bill does not defeat the gov ernment. Premier Asqdith did not propose to back" an equal suffrage bill. but he promised the great con cession of permitting the suffragists to go in and win if they could.
 But this was not enough for the mild hammered suffrAgettes. They or ganized a mob of their petticoated fol- lowers. They stoned Mir Asquith's resi- dence, broke his windows and marred his doors. but they could not reach that discreet statesman in person. They were more fortunate in finding. at another place, the secretary for Ireland. the Hon. Augustin Birrell. This fine. gentle old man. who never in his life did anything more violent than write some radable books and essays. was womanhandled, pounded, stoned and beaten with clubs.
 The offending ladies were arrested. of course. and this brings us to the revelation of the marked difference between the gallant American ani the ungallant Englishman, and we trust that hereafter nobody will be heard to say that the Englishman is the equal of the American in his appreciation and treatment of women. The British judge was positively and inexcdsably brutal He declined to consider the fact that the arrested ladies were the apostles of a holy cause. and he coarsely treated them as lawbreakers. He not only sentenced them to prison for thirty days. but imposed the pen atty of hard labor.
 What savages these Englishmen are, anyway!

The relative gallantry of Ameri- cans and Englishmen has been dis cussed so much that it is a trite ob- servation that the American man is infinitely superior to his uncivilized English cousin in the treatment of women, but we cannot forbear to fe- licitate our fellow citizens upon the latest proof of their gentler breeding.
 We refer, of course. to the official treatment of the suffragettes in Lon don.
