Transfers union and other labor lead
ers declares themselves as dead
against the strike, but expressed the
fear that hot heads would control the
situation.
In this event there will be nothing
left but to make the strike as wide
spread and paralyzing as possible
As proof that the strike Of express
wagon drivers has not the sympathy
of many who are here engaging in it
the employees of the United States Elk
press company voted to return to
work, but were finally induced to dis
regard this action through pressure
from union leaders.
Ashton is still hopeful that either
the state labor department or Mayor
Gaynor will be able to bring about
an adjustment of the express drivers
grievances.
John McManus, representing the
state labor department, said that if a
general strike is called 'the situation
will be so terrible that I hate to con-
template it." ..~.s
A general strike will involve Great
er New York, Jersey City, Newark,
Yonkers, New Rochelle and other
neighboring towns and will call out
between $4,000 and $4,000 men, Coal
teamsters, taxicab chauffeurs and
longshoremen have already indicated
their willingness to join the strike
the moment it is called.

Setting a Watch.

"The jeweler set my watch within 4
thousandth of second when he gave
it to me today" said the man with a
new timepiece, land this is how he
did it:
HE has clock wired up with the
big chronometer at Washington. At
p. m. this clock was corrected to
the thousandth of second. At 4:05
he was ready to deliver my watch.
His master clock has a 1871 inch pen
dulum, so it ticks seconds. Each of
the first tifty-five ticks in each minute
is announced by telegraph sounder
in the clock, then the last five seconds
are silent. The matchmaker rested a
camePs hair brush on the balance
wheel of the watch to stop it. then set
all the hands, hour, minute and second
at 10000 and waited When the 81
lence of the sounder Indicated 4:O5:55
he got ready, and five seconds later, on
the first tick of 4:O6. he lifted the
brush and the watch started. By
looking at the second hand with a
glass and listening to the clock an
nouncer l proved their identicalness
except for the time it took the sound
to travel from the clock to my ear

Daniel Wilson, His House.

DR.. Daniel Wilson, afterward prin-
cipal of the University of Toronto,
used in earlier days to live near Lau-
riston, in Scotland. One day Dr. John
Beddoe (who has written an autobiog-
raphy) set out to find him. Having"
he says, mo clear idea of the situation
of the house, entered st. Margaret's
lane, which l conceived must lead in
the right direction, and, meeting a gen.
tleman just about to issue therefrom,
asked whether he could direct me to
DR.. Wilson's new house. He looked
hard at me and inquired:
"'Do you know Daniel Wilson, 4
do Intimately Yes, Intimately
Then follow this road till you see a
house that looks as if it belongs to
Daniel Wilson, and that will be it, l
thanked him and, following his advice,
had no difficulty in identifying the
house. It had a window which con-
tanned some tracery of pattern which
I knew Wilson considered peculiarly
Scottish"

The Arts of Asia,

1t was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, the arts
and the sciences which we have de-
veloped and of which we now boast.
Gunpowder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced
into Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moor
ish invasion of Spain. and it's manu-
facture was continued at Toledo. The
coppersmiths of Bagdad supplied the
worlds market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries in Europe. Weav-
ing of silk and cotton had it's birth as
an industry in Arabia, and the weav-
ing Of wool was learned by the cru
saders in the same wonderful country.
Astronomy, mathematics, the mariners
compass-all came to US from the

Forbidden Ground.

A visit of Gladstone to the Isle of
Man is recalled by Agnes Herbert and
described in her book about that in
teresting little speck in the midst of
the Irish sea.
Mr.. Gladstone had made a detour
across a small holding in Rushen, and
his way lay through the "haggart,"
where the stacks are harvested. A
strong, powerfully built Manxwoman
stood throwing up the straw to the
stack, using her fork as deftly, and
quickly as a farm laborer
'"That is very hard work, my good
woman" the Grand Old Man is re.
ported to have said graciously, ''but
you look well and strong May I ask
how old you are?"
The toiler hardly turned as she an.
swered sharply:
GLOW oul' art thou thyself, thou i'm,
percent QUIZ man?"

Mrs. Suburb-Oh, my dear, that mag

yesterday is gone!
Mr.. Suburb-Eh? Did he break the
chain?

around and acted so terribly that I let
the dog loose, but instead Of tearing
the tramp to pieces he went off with
him. .....

SECOND DAY SPENT ON
 CONDEMNATION MATTER
Expected That It Will Be Finished Today-VaIues Fixed by Witnesses for MT. Palmer.

In the superior court room here on Wednesday the second day was spent before Judge ShumWay with the con- damnation proceedings of the water board to secure the J. Raymond Palmer land in MOntville. It is expected that the matter will be finished today.
 W. H. Richards was given long cross examination when court opened in the morning, and later R. c. Morris was called. He valued the farm at $8,000 to $9,000. Charles A. Johnson valued the farm at $7,750, and Charlas it.
 w. A. Cooke of Mohegan said the farm is worth $S,0OO, and Joseph Kill leen believes it is worth $7,500. The value fixed by H. l.. Rathbun of Mont vile is $7,500.
 Engineer Palmer is assisting Attor- ney Tanning in the case.
 Charles R. Bogue of Montville said 1t was a rare thing for a farm in Mont vile to sell for $5,000, but he thought to the purchase of the Haughton farm and the Eaton place in Montville fo,
 S12,000 and S5,000 as it is reported. He valued the farm at $S,o00.
 c. s. Johnson said that in 1899 he went into the witch hazel business, having previously had a saw and grist mill. He placed value of s7.000 to $S.00O on the farm, valuing 40 acres at $50 each and the remainder at s2O to $50 each.
 Speaking of the Palmer pond there,
 he said the city bought it for abou, S2.000. He tried to buy it before the city did. He was not willing to give as much as the city did. There is a
 grist mill on the property with ca pacity of 100 bushels of grain day. Mark H. Spalding of New London, a papermaker associated with the Fibre License company of Norwich. and has been connected with pulp making con. cerns. was called. He said he had looked over the Thames river for a sufficient water supply to operate a 125-tOn mill to cost a million and a quarter. There are five available brooks. Stony brook is one of the brooks. There isn't enough water in Stony brook to supply such mill, '4a thought. For a storage basin it looks very good. The flow of the brook for paper purposes is worth $70 to s75 a day. He valued the property at s47.5o an acre for water purposes. This does not include the buildings and timber At 4.30 o'clock the matter was ad- l journed until this morning at 10 o'clock. It is expected to finish the case today

 A number of important games of the national roque tournament were play ed on the Rockwell street grounds on Wednesday, and as the result ex- Champion Clark leads the bunch of ex- perts for first honors, having beaten all corners thus far, including Cham plon Bosworth and the undefeated Champion Cox. He shut out Bos- worth, winning from him in the fastest game of the tourpament thus far, by not allowing hif1 an arch. The game lasted but 20 minutes and was the first defeat of the champion and most important game for Clark to secure.
 Cox Enters Game Again.
 The arrival of Cox on the grounds was the cause for a general welcome to the three times champion, and he got into the fray at once and played four games during the day. Unfortunately he was pitted against some of the best players at the start off,, before he had a chance to warm up and get acquaint- ed with the courts. This is the result

How fO Remove A
 Bad Complexion
(From London Fashions)

Cosmetics can never really help poor compilations; often they are posi- lively harmful. The sensible, rational way is to actually remove the thin veil of stif1ing, half-dead scarf skin from the face and give the fresh, vig- orous and beautiful young skin un- derneath a chance to show itself and to breathe.
 This is best done in a very simple way by merely applying mercolized wax at night. like cold cream. and washing it off in the morning. Good mercolized wax can be obtained from any well stocked druggist. It absor5s the disfguring cuticle gradually and harmlessly leaving brilliant natural complexion. Of course this also takes with it all such facial blemishes as red blotches, tan. moth patches. sal lowness. liver spots, pimples. etc. As freckle remover and general com plexion beautifier this old fa shioned remedy is unequaled.

Went by Launch to Hartford.

Raymond Wulf, who started moro than a week ago to make a trip to Springfield accompanied by his cousin, Lucius Parsons of New London. in 9 25-foot motor boat. was compelled to give it up on reaching Hartford. He learned that repairs were in progress on the locks at Windsor Locks. so that he could not go through, and he re- turned to Gales Ferry last Saturday. The trip was carried out without ac cident as far as he went and was a highly enjoyable experience for the two young men.
