BRASS CO.'S DECKER WITH
 CITY TONIGHT
Proposition to Exchange Land and Wharf Front age to Come Before liar Dor Committee.

The proposition of the Bridgeport Brass company to induce the city to abandon 40 feet of dockage, between the City yard and the companys property on Housatonic avenue, with a frontage on the Pequonnock river will be opened tonight at meeting of the Harbor committee. The com pany now offers to build a substantial wharf along the front of the city property, 172 feet long for the city, at the city yard and in return for the same wants the city to consent to the closing of the slip, which is 60 feet wide.
 Both the Brass company and the city have a right of use in the slip and neither can close it without the consent of the other. The proposi- ton also includes a dicker of one triangular piece of land for another piece of about the same size. Mayor Buckingham said this morning that the proposition of the company is en- titled to careful consideration, inas- much as to use the slip the city will have to spend considerable money to dredge it out and put in bulkhead for 40 feet of its length. Director Kenny who is anxious to utilize the city yard, providing it with a good wharf and bins for the storage of stone and other materials used in his department, believes that the new proposition merits consideration.

 John Jarvie, another boy, not. un- der arrest, whose brother, Joseph, the trial of yesterday. told the most startling story of the day. He took the witness stard for the State, and testified tha. Vener had met him carting ashes enc day.
 What's the use of carttng ashes?" asked vener. "You'li make more out of the handles" The handles were the brake arms stolen from trolley cars.
 "If Vener hadn't come around there, there wouldn't have been any steal ir g' said the boy.
 State Policeman Virelli. Wheeler and Jackson testified that they had given the accused instructions to buy the
 len metal, but had warned him par t1cularlY not to encourage anyone to crime in order to get the evidence. This, scid Jackson, was from the ex- plic:t instructions of their superior, Chief Fsan.
 Prosecutor Redden flayed Vener in closing the case. He declared that while Vener was working under the authority of the State police, he was not acting under their instructions. Of that. he felt sure. But he said the zeal of the man had led him into such practices that he himself was guilty of theft, as an accessory. Without him. the boys would not have stolen, he ar gle.s.
 Attorney Marr pleaded that the word of the boys was not to be cred ited. He protested that the story to discredit the state policemen's man made made up among the prisoners. The state had failed to prove any in- tent to steal on the part Of his client, he argued.
 John Aiello, aged 15, was committed to the State Reform school. John Krivosky and Cleveland Iannucci were held in bal of $10o for trial in the Superior court and Henry Krevaski was released in custody of Probation Officer Garfield for three months.
 Vener denied he had told the boys where to steal but had simply told them he would buy metal from them. He said he used to be employed in Chicago in the investigation of acci- dent claims against the elevated road.
 The State Policemen volunteered to be responsible for Vener's appearance, and Judge Wilder released him.

 Fl Paso. Feb. 10-It is generally re- ported today that the Mexican revo- lutionary iunta and other representa- lives of Francisco Madero have de- cided to depose General Pasquale Orozco, from command of the insur gen, troops in Northern Mexico.

FACTORY LEAGUE
 BOWLING NOTES

There was excitement galore on the Arcade alleys last Tuesday evening, when the Loeomobile five, and the Coulter & Mckenzie quintet met. Both teams had a large following of rooters on hand to cheer them on to victory. and combined with the coach ing of Manager Howard Stone the Locomobile boys fairly swept the boards, by winning two out of the three strings.
 It was one of the most hotly con- tested match games rolled on the all leys in long time. The Locomobile boys won the first string, by mar row margin of three pins. The spec ial machinery quintet came back strong winning the second by 56 pins. But the Locomobile pin shooters were not to be denied, and they made one of tl- cir old time finishes in the final string by tieing their opponents and winning out in the roll-of by one solitary duck.
 If practice counts for much Teddy Blackert of the Batcheller No. 2 team ought to be a top notcher.

COMPENSATION A LAW.
Universally the World is Solvent, Says
"Bilt"

You have to pay for everything you
get in this world.
You will get pay for everything you
do in this world.
You get paid good for good and bad
for bad. and never good for bad or bad
for good.
You may eat first and pay later. or
you may pay first and eat later but
1t is certain whether you eat first or
pay first you must pay.
Bill says compensation means re-
ward for good and punishment for bad.
and that the reward for punishment
Is given right here on earth Com
pensation is the law of balance and
the great evener of things. One may
break man made laws and escape
punishment. but old Bill says COM
pensation is watehful officer and
never sleeps and never fails to get his
man.
Bill Compensation has a good mem
DRY. he never forgets either good or
bad acts. Sometimes he seems slow
with his rewards and slow with his
punishments. but when this is the case
he evens up by giving interest.
He Is the headmaster who Furnishes
and at the same time the Santa Claus
who brings gladness and joys to us.
He whispers courage in times of
trouble and he is the Samaritan
who pours oil on our wounds and helps
us along the road to peace and rest
aud safety. Bill tells us that smiles
and songs are for us and that frowns
and groans are not worth the while.
While we listen to him we will at
least get the complaints and sobs and
hard luck stories of Bill Pessimist. who
tells us that the sinner is glad and the
good man is sad and that the rain
falls on the unjust as well as the just
and there is no use in being good or
doing good
Bill Pessimist has squint eyes. and
besides there are cataracts on them,
and he can't see far or see straight.
So we will listen to Bill Compensa-
ton. We must not take the popular
measure of good and success; we must
not look SO much at the material, but
more a the mental measure. Now,
then, Bill tells us that life and the
things in the world are full of con-
trasts, full of positives and negatives,
full of good and bad.

One part of the country is barren.
but there is another which is fertile.
The barren country has its use, ii is
fine for ones health. The horse that
can go fast can not go far. nor pull

For every sob there is smile. for
every up a down. for every in an out.
for every right there Is left. We

youth warm, cold: love, hate; end so
on. there is an opposite to everything.
This quality is necessary to balance
things. Without the shadow there
would be no picture. The artist paints
shadows and the modelling of the
shadows gives the high lights, and that
makes the picture. Without sorrow
there would be no way to appreciate
happiness. The best play is the one
that makes the listener alternate tears
and cheers. II there were no danger
we would never know what courage
means. Yes, there is the opposite in
everything. but the principal quality
we are to measure is good and bad.
The pessimist says: If have Joy
| know there is sorrow coming to bal
ance it, If | have sorrow 1t offsets joy
to come-so what's the use, why
should | strive?
The optimist in his joy knows it Is
compensation for sorrow and he is
happy at the reward. In sorrow he
modifies the sorrow by the anticipa-
ton of the joy which will come to
balance his sorrow.
And. best of all, Bill Compensation
says that good and bad are not equally
divided, for good has a balance in its
favor, and good is gaining in the world
and bad is waning. In the dark ages
mans whole thought was warfare.
Today peace is our objective.
In those dark days conquest was the
road to success. Right was victory
and might was right. Strong bodies
and we'll developed muscles were the
measure of a man in the past. Today
it is the mind that makes the man.
Right and wrong in the past was
settled by fighting.
A brute in a tavern would say thus
and so. and thus and so it was until
some one drew a sword and defeated
the brute and thereaft sr it was go and
thus. instead of thus and so
The man who knew he was right
had better keep quiet unless he had the
prowess sufficient to back his belief
with duel. In those dark ages woman
was little better than a slave, and the
weak were serfs. But by and by com
pensation showed that strength was
not the measure of right.
Today man keeps possession of
property by title; in the past he kept
1t by power. Then a man took women
and property as the spoils of war.
Today the law allows him only one
wife at a time, and he only gets own
ership of property by due process of
law, and law is made by the people
and not by a tyrants whim. Well. in
deed, were those old times called dark
ages and how well has compensation
brought out these enlightened days to
even things up.
