FROM PLUMBER TO PEER

The United States is the land Of op-
portunity, but even In the European
countries under monarchical govern
ments and burdened with hereditary
aristocracies it frequently happens
that the lowly born succeed in mount
ing we'll toward the top of the ladder.
This is especially SO in England. Ger.
many furnishes a recent example Of
the possibilities of merit and ability.
Harry Plate, Of Hanover, is a plumb
er. He was journeyman for many
years and travelled about the country
with his kit looking for jobs. But
Harry had brains and he secured not
only an education but great influence
among his fellow craftsmen. Some
time ago the Artisans congress pc
titioned Emperor William to give 1t
representation in the upper house Of
the Prussian parliament. He select
ed Harry Plate and made him peer
with a seat in what corresponds to
the House of Lords in Great Britain.
There he will sit hereafter, keeping

Report from o. s. U.

Reclaimed swamp lands make the
most fertile and valuable farms, as the
soil, frequently of silt formation, is
rich in humus, usually containing in a
virgin state the fertility of scores of
years.
An analysis of representative sam
pies of swamp soils made last year at
the Ohio state university resulted in
the report that such soil could support
1000 yields of corn at fifty bushels to
the acre without any material soil ex-
haustion resulting.
in addition the swamp area capable
of reclamation are near the eastern
and middle western markets and CEN
ters of population, which makes their
development of immediate rather than
of distant Importance.
The Nineteenth National Irrigation
Congress meets in Chicago December
5 to 8. Speakers having statistics con-
cerning the economic value of swamp
land reclaimed will at that time urge
the need of drainage legislation by the
federal congress.

IL was the product of a former Nor yvich mechanic which baffied the hand cuff sharps as they were unable 10 open the handcuffs made by Frank h. Olcott of Waterbury, formerly or NOT wich. and would not permit them to De handed to them on the stage.
 Regarding the matter Wateroury paper says: Hardeen. the handcuff king. who offered to take any regula- ton handcun in Waterbury and allow them to be placed on his wrists, met his match when Patrolman John Brick ell walked upon the stage of Jacques theater and submitted a pair of hand cuffs for Hardeen's approval They were made by Frank E. Olcott or \ ortn Main street and patented. They were equipped with double locks and mace of steel.
 Hardeen asked if the bracelets were made especially for him, and was told they were not. He asked the po- liceman to wait and later the manager would nor attempt to open them, so the policeman left the stage.
 Frank Olcott, who invented the handcuffs. IS department foreman for the American Ring company in Waterbury. He was formerly employ ed in a handcun factory there, but has q superior bracelet to that. He is a native of Norwich and was employed by Lester & WasIey Nj. A. Barber, and was in charge of the grinding ma chimes at the cutlery before going to Waterbury 15 to 20 years ago. An other handcum king, Brindamoor, also refused to have anything to do with the cuffs.

 CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS
Will Work to Obtain Same Protect on for Hebrews from United States m Russia as Others Get.

The Independent Order of Firth Abraham, Pride of New London lodge, No 466 and the order of Brfth Ab- raham of New London, sent commit . tees composed of the following to wait upon Representative Edwin W. HiS- gins: Max Saltz, president New Lon don ledge, No. 4e6; Attorney Max Bayer and Attorney Perry J. Holland erslSv; the Order of Britn Abraham, of New London being represented by Julius Liebernan and Joseph SkaloW- sky. and Louis Kasakow, of the Q. E. A. of New London.
 The subject discussed was the rec ognition of passports held by Amerl- can citizens of Jewish faith enter ing into Russia, ana it was shown that Russia has given no plausible ex- cuse for refusing to recognize these Hebrews or the nation they represent, unless it can be said by implication that through the acquiesence or the country in the wilful and deliberate violations of the provision of the Unit cd States government, had proclaimed passively to the entire world. that an American citizen of the Jewish talth was to be excluded from claiming the benefits of the protection which the United States extends to them as legal citizens.
 NTr. Higgins said he recognized the justice of their cause and that ne would do whatever he could to nave them enjoy the same protection ln Russia as is enjoyed by any American citizens bearing passports there
