BOOKED FOR A SANE FOURTH.

The sane and safe Fourth of July
campaign is on. and with the aid Of
legislation with reference to the sale
Of explosives = great deal of good has
been accomplished.
We understand there is a sane and
safe spirit at work in Norwich for the
coming Fourth and it takes the shape
Of an Expression of sense rather than
a suppression of noise or anything
else.
The Fourth which sends thousands
OF citizens out of town for pleasure
and TO spend their money is not so
sane as the Fourth which attracts
shousands Of citizens and Blooms bus
mess in town
That IS a jolly, good time which
everybody is in when everything is
coming their way instead of going the
other. Norwich is thinking of a ceIe-
bration for the Fourth that viii bring
things this way-that will keep Nor
witch people at home and give them
all the enjoyment they want
We hope every body will enter into
the spirit OF the sane Fourth which
makes pleasure and profit parade our
way instead OF going the other,
There is no reason why all roads
should not lead TO Norwich on indie
pendence day,

RAISING THE MAINE

Whether the Maine was DESTROYED
BY an external or an internal ex-
piosion will never be disclosed.
Now we learn that the wreck is to
he dynamited and taken up in sec
tons. and we are told it is safe to
say that even after the entire hu1l,
lies open to view the experts will be
as widely at odds in their opinions as
TO whether the explosion was caused
by an internal or external force as was
the case between the Spanish and the
American commissioners who passed
upon the subject after the catastro-
phe.
After close investigation we are told
the 'battleship is seemingly in shreds
it's plates are like crumpled paper and
the wreck bears little likeness to a
great battleship. Under such condi-
lions the basis for judgment as to the
cause Of the explosion must be very
uncertain
The reason the true facts will never
he known is doubtless because the
naval authorities are neither anxious
TO know them or to disclose them.
Perhaps no benefit would result
from the real truth. II will he graft
fyirG to know that the wreck has
been taken out OF the way Of naviga-
ton and the bodies Of the men en-
tombed therein rhave been properly
sepultered.

LOOKING EoR WORK

1t is estimated that one in three
of college students work in vacation
time to earn money to help them on
with their education next year.
These are the young fellows who
fill the fields of Kansas with workers
in harvest time; and they will enter
every line of endeavor.
Civil and mining engineering corps
win be stocked with boys from the
technical schools. The smooth talk
ers probably will prefer some gentIer
art, like book <canvassing.
The beaches will be patrolled by
many student life guards.
The newspaper offices and hotel
desks will all see boyish faces that
will disappear at the beginning of
fall
Wherever there is work the ambi-
tious American boys and girls will be
found not only earning money but
gaining experience which will be of
value in future years
The live American boy wastes no
time, but enters life's competitions
with WILL Three months of idleness
does not appeal to him, for he knows
the value of time and is determined to
realize upon it,
stuff and they will be heard from in
the future professional. political and
business life of the country.

BIG AEROPLANE.
Being Constructed in Bridgeport
Backed BY Unlimited Capital.

Backed by unlimited capital fur
nished by Congressman James H Nc
Dermott of Chicago and Washington,
says the Bridgeport Farmer, a
Bridgeport inventor, John Murphy,
of 219 Brook street, is bringing to
completion at the factory Of Topping
& Kerr at A Union square, a huge
aeroplane. capable of carrying four
passengers, when will be entered in
the New York to San Francisco
flight for $4,000.
A flight over Bridgeport some time
next month a four-passenger flight
from Bridgeport to Chicago in nine or
ten hours time; p three-passenger
fight from New York to San Francis
co. and finally a passenger carry
ing flight from New York to London
ing wonders confidently promised by
Mr. Murphy
The aeropIane is of special design
and contains a number of unique fea-
lures. all of which have been patented
in this and every other country where
patent treaties hold. Experts in the
employ of Congressman McDermott
have examined the patents and mod
els and clare that the newa machine
will be world beater. for size, speed,
power, safety and endurance While
it contains a number of great improve
ments. it is by no means a freak
machine. Its inventor has studied the
aeroplane question for years: has
carefully reasoned out the faults and
objections of every successful type of
aeropIane and has attempted to build
another in which all of these faults
and objections are overcome,
Within a few days the two 70 horse
power motors for this enormous aero
plane will arrive in Bridgeport.

1t Is expected that the closing of
congress will Immediately follow the

All the bills included in the agree

If amendments are made to them they
will be still subject to quick confer

the two houses.
