 incident of Special Interest.
 An incident of the house session that was of special interest developed when a resolution introduced by MT. Carpenter. Putnam, was offered au- thorizing ex-Speaker Banks to receive $5o from the state treasury for or ganizing the house. MT. Banks, how ever, opposed the passing of tine reso- lution and it was finally withdrawn. MT. Banks said it seemed to him that it would not be proper nor appropri-
  ton. He said he knew that it had been customary to pass such a resolu- ton at other sessions. Mir. Banks made mention of the fact that he had been much impressed a few days since i'll listening to Governor Baldwin $ message in special relation to econo- mics. and he said it seemed to Mnl much like the instruction of excellent value that Governor Baldwin used to inlpart to us young men ill law school and that the advice given about ex- penditures was of the same high char - acter and from a man of great ability. Mir. Banks said he did not feel that he had rendered any service in rela ton to organization that entitled him to the sum mentioned.
 Last Day for New Business.
 After some debate, in which Mir. Fotcllkiss of New Haven, Hr. Tingier of Vernon and MT. Dunn of Williman- tic participated, MT. Banks Suggestion that the house name February 2 as the last day for filing new business was adopted. There was some endeav- or to have the date made a little lat CT, but the sentiment was strong to have the business put on file as early as possible.
 MT. Banks pointed out that the house can make little real progress until the time for filing business is closed; that to make this time short will be an aid to making a. shorter ses- sion, and that February 2 was amply far away to allow of anyone preparing their bills for filing before that time.
 The resolution passed was taken from the table, where 1t has lain since last Thursday, after being submitted rron the senate, where February 2 has also been made the last day of enter ing new business. So everyone that has buiness to introduce must be about it.
