May Have Half Dollar
 Considered Worth S2, 500

Springfield. Mass. Sept eJohn F. Moran, of Greenfield, former resi- dent of this city, may or may not be a lucky man, just according to the opinion of coin experts. which he is now seeking. Recently MT Moran ns-iceA story from Chicago which stated that a half-dollar of the coin age of 1853 was considered at a recent convention of numismatists in the Windy City. the rarest coin in the convention exhibit, and was valued at S2,5OO
 Moran is in the insurance business and one morning a day Or two before he had read the newspaper article noticed in some collections a half dol lar dated 1853, a dime of the same date, a quarter and half dollar of 1854 coinage and a three-cent piece of 1865. He thought little of it at the time, but after reading the article that appeared in The Union decided to take another look at the coins he had re- ceived. The 1853 half-doliar was still

their convention. That body Is com posed of 3s members. and a small number of Republicans in one dis trict have as much representation as a large number in another district.
 The result is that in the convention there is not even theoretically an ex- pression of the opinion of Republi cans, but an expression of the opin- ions of districts. The Second district, which is a Democratic stronghold. has as much voice in making nomi- nations. as the Fifth district, which is Q Republican stronghold.
 These objections apply to the Demo- cratic convention system in Bridge port, except that the Democratic plan is more representative because it al lows a larger body, one composed of So delegates.
 It is certainly true, as MT. Morris contends, that the convention system does not operate satisfactorily to the voters. It as often defeats as it ac- complishes the will of the party. In the nature of things the delegate sys- tenn does not permit the voter to ex- press his. will with relation to .candi- dates, even when the delegates are entirely honest. If a delegation is elected favorable to one candidate de- sired by the voter, it is likely to also favor others candidates whom the voter does not favor, but if the voter passes directly upon the candidates for each office. his will is expressed with regard to.each. Harbor Master Morris is doing an excellent work and one which should gain him the ap- probation of his fellow citizens.

THE MORRIS CANDIDACY.

Harbor Master Charles H. Morris, in accepting the endorsement of the Progressive Republican Association, states some sound truths as to the failure of the convention system in party government to represent the rank and file of the parties. or the people This unrepresentative char acter of conventions has been more aggravated in Connecticut than in other states, because the party sys- tems here are modelled on the small town system of govefnment by land. And the evil is especially great in the Republican conventions, because they have adopted the small town plan in its most radical form
 Bridgeport has, for instance, in a state convention of the Republican rAr.~. hut ten delegates, or no more than two or three small towns with a tenth of Bridgeport's population.
 In Bridgeport Republicans have the most limited kind of representation in

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.


 Waterbury will vote upon the ques- ton of municipal ownership of cleo tric light in the October election. The resolution putting the question to ball. lot was adopted by the Council by a decisive vote. Waterbury already owns it's own waterworks as do Hart ford, New London, Danbury, New Britain. Meriden and Norwich, not to mention other cities and boroughs in the state, Norwich owns its own gas and electric plant. South Norwalk has engaged in water and lighting. Bridgeport alone is tied hand and foot to monopoly. But the skies are bright and the chance for escape, .ex- cellent. Municipal ownership of cleo trio light and water is not very dis tant here.

RETIRING.

The esteemed New Britain Herald believes that Representative Banks is retiring from politics because as a business politics is not remunerative, and instances the salary of $30S which MT. Banks receives as a rep resentative in the General Assembly But MT. Banks. by virtue of politics is also a judge of probate and a The emoluments are doubtless con siderable. May it not be that MT. Banks is retiring because he has enough, which is more usual reason for abandoning the accumulation of wealth, in any pursuit.

there and Moran is keeping it care fully.
 Moran thinks he secured the coin from a conductor, but is not certain yet whether he has a duplicate of the Chicago coin, which was valued at $25OO or merely one that is worth hardly more than it's face value. Mof- ans coin has two arrow heads on the date 1853, and 1t could not be learned last night if the presence of the arrows make the coin very valuable or the opposite. Moran can be reached In Greenfield.
 The Chicago coin was taken in pay ment of a. fare on a street car in that city a few years ago. The conductor of the car turned the half-dollar in at the barn. The barn man replaced IL by another and sold it to Stevens x Go. for $5, and. the concern sold IL to Charles Wilcox, of Chicago, for $10o. The latter in turn sold 1t to Dewitt Smith, of Lee. for $500 and MT. Smith later refused to sell 1t for s2,500.! It IS now owned by H. c. Granberg, a mine owner of Oshkosh. Wis.

Teddy Roosevelt. or his double. will have part in this evenings bill at the Coliseum. The audience will see the famous huntsman in the act of slay- ing a ferocious south African lion. but the feat, instead of calling for excla- nations of admiration and astonish- ment. is followed with uproarious laughter and applause 1t will be all burlesque, with Dunbar and Westin interpreting the role of Teddy and the newspaper correspondent. Westin. as Roosevelt poses beautifully for the camera as he shoots a stuffed king of beasts" with 22 revolver IL is the windup to an exceedingly funny act features of the bill PritzkoW and Blanchner will do a clever singing talking and yoedling act that will cer- tainly bring the house down with ad- miration. and the act of George Par wis. the famous cartoonist, who was formerly with the leading Philadel- phia dailies. will cause eyes in the audience to bulge with astonishment .as he creates picture after picture with lightning rapidity. and all of them handsome. Parvis has never been accused of drawing a meaning less picture. and his work stands out as a shining example of what the car toOnist's art may he when it is beau tiful. as well as the medium for the presentation of a clever and appro- priate thought on some event or condition of the day.

FIRST EXCURSION CARS
 LOADED TO THE GUARDS
Tourist and PuImans Leave Over the
 Santa Fe for Eastern Points.

Any doubt which may have existed in the minds of the officials of the Santa Fe Railroad company regard ing the success of the eastern excur- sions was removed yesterday when the morning tourist car left the depot with every berth taken. The depar- ture of the evening Pullman was equally encouraging. for it was stated last night at the city ticket office that had another person come with pocketful of money and the strongest sion east, there would have been no place for him on the standard sleeper.
 When General Agent Goldsworthy took charge of the Phoenix office the eastern excursions had not been Origi mated He broached the idea to the officials of the road. who at first were inclined to discourage him in his request that an excursion to eastern points might he sent from the Salt River valley every summer. Finally rates were obtained, but the tickets were only good for ninety days. Later they were extended to october 31, a concession greatly appreciated by the travelling public.
 Representative people from every town in the valley and from num- Der of mining camps took advantage of the reduced rates to leave on the excursion yesterday. Mesa, Tempe, Roosevelt. Kelvin, Ray and other towns were represented. both on the tourist and standard sleeper. Among those. who left for the east Were Bishop J w Atwood, Mrs. Roy Les cher. Miss Christine Thiers and Miss Ruth Thiers.
 The next excursion will leave on June II. Reservations are already be- ing made, and it is expected that the special coaches will again be sent out with d full complement of passengers.

TILTED GERMAN FARMERS.

Dr. J Kaup, an eminent physician of Germany. is authority for the state ment that the physique of the German peasant class is steadily deteriorating. owing to inferior nOurishment. Judged by the military test, the urban pOpu- lation. also, as a whole, decreases in physical efficiency, but the deteriora- ton in the rural districts is more marked This is due largely, accord ing to the authority quoted. to the mercenary spirit that high prices for the products of their farms has iH- duced among the peasants They sell the best of everything that the land, goaded by persistent labor, produces, and live themselves upon cheap sub stitutes for wholesome, nOurishing food
 This stunting of the human body has been SD marked in the last two decades and presents SD serious d problem to a nation that leans so heavily upon its military arm that militant reformers urge the state to come forward with d law that for bids peasants tO sell their milk and eggs until they have first properly fed their children. It is plain that such an injunction as this could be en- forced OBy with the greatest diff culty. if at all, to remedial extent.
 Dr. Kaup does not endorse such a measure, seeing, no doubt, it's utter futility. He sees as the only practi- cal remedy the abOlishment of taxes on food products which deprive Ger many of q cheap and plentiful supply of dairy and other food products from the surrounding cOuntrieS.-POrtland OregOnian

ChadbOrn took in a partner. and a friend of the latter furnished cap ital for the manufacture of the new machine When they were making 150 machines a year the partners thought they were doing well.

THE AMERICAN LAWN MOWER

The man who invented the first American lawn mower died recently at Newburg. N. Y, his name being George L. ChadbOrn.
 Up tO 1866 an English lawn mower was manufactured in two or three factories of the United States by spe- cial arrangement as tO royalties. Then lawns were not as yet regarded as an essential of home decoration in this country. Mir ChadbOrn was em- ployed in one of the factories using the English patent, and he obtained a patent of his own for an improved contrivance. His machine was hardly more than a third as heavy as the
