Morse's Prison Philosophy.

c. W. Morse's experience in prepar-
Ing n typewriter catalogue OF the At
fsnta prison library has impressed him
with the limitations OF his knowledge.
He IS reported az saying. 4 never
knew before how little I knew, how
little I could do any one thing we'll"
In the confession of ignorance lies the
beginning Of wisdom. But the con-
yicted banker is unduly self-deprecia-
tory. No one understands better than
he does the special branches of knOUl-
edge for which he has a reputation
He Is merely out of his mental en-
vironment So a college professor who
knew all about Sanscrit or political
economy would feel a sense of hope
less incapacitv If called on to float a
steamship merger
On the other hand. the special train
ing OF which the banker eonfesses his
lack would probably have kept the
world in ignorance of his ability to
finance. II is BY a general grasp Of
principles more than by a knowledge
Of minor details that business success
In won. Yet Mr.. Morse's prison phil
osophy Il interesting rs evidencine his
discovery that there are other fields
or human interest besides company
promotion or manipulation Not
all the art Of life is comprised in
money making. and there are men on
small salaries-no doubt there We're
clerks in his employ at the time of
his prosperity-who have found a
surer clew to happiness than he pos
sessed.-New York World.

CONNECTICUT CITIES.
Several of Them Show Great Gains in
Population During Past Decade.

In the reorganization of the bulletins
issued by the bureau of the census
up to and including Sept 10. giving the
population of cities having popula-
ton of more than $4,000, are a mass
of interesting statistics. The cities are
divided into two groups, those haVln
a population of 100000 and over and
those whose residents rise above the
$4,000 mark. There are forty three cit
les with over 100, 900 and Bridgeport is
one of the five which have come into
the century class as far as numbers
are concerned during the last dec
ade The others are Albany, Grand
Rapids, Dayton and Atlanta.
The Connecticut cities included in
this list are New Haven with 132,605.
and Bridgeport. 102 ,G54. Detroit. Den
yer. Columbus and Kansas City are
the only cities in this list which show
greater rate of increase than the 43
per cent. of which Bridgeport boasts.
There are 1871 cities in the $4,000 and
over list, an increase of twenty over
the list of 1900. The list is not COM
plete and many others viii be added
before the announcement of the last
census is closed. Waterbury is the
Connecticut city in this list which
holds the record for increase in the
number of it's inhabitants. Waterbury's
is 73,141, an increase of U.s.

When = Man Is Discharges.

The Texas supreme court has rem
dered decision which is of much
interest TO workingmen everywhere.
although some Of the elements of the
case are based on state laws and not
applicable in other states. The de-
cision in brief is that a corporation
must give an excuse for the discharge
Of an empioye.
II appears that a brakeman employ
ed on a Texas railroad found that the
airbrakes were not working properly.
His superior ordered him to go out
with train using the hand brakes.
It was shown In evidence that the hand
brakes were i'm a defective condition,
that the track was defective and dan
gerous and that the operation of the
train bv hand brakes would be extra
hazardous. The brakeman refused to
serve and quit the service of the COM
pany. Several days later he asked for
his service letter, and was notified
that he had been discharged for in
subordinati ton. This amounted pTacti-
cal to a bIacklisting of the brakeman.
He sued and recovered DANA ges to the
tune of $4,000.
The facts are of interest largely as
serving notice on corporations that the
days of blacklisting are gone. The
provision OF the Texas law requiring
an employer to give a true statement
of the reason for a discharge does
not appear to be unrea sOnable.-St.
