Men, so Striking and so mournfully 'a~pfcal of sn expiring race. Exam pies of chiaro oscuro equal the. best work of the ancient masters, includ- ing even Rembrandt himself. lacking only the colors which painters use. There are indications that color will not long be beyond the reach of the photographic artists. The Lumiere Bros. have already produced plates. which enable transparencies to be created by direct action of the light. The hoped for result is that color prints may be some day reproduced from the plate. Given this conquest of the clements and their compounds, photography will take on the facility of the brush, while retaining its own great advantage of fidelity to na- lures truth. To those who would know what progress has been made in this field is recommended the photograph of a woman and child, who stand under a cherry tree in bloom through which a warm sum- light filters. This is art and its crea- tor is an artist.

Senate Rider
 haItS Provision
 For Reformatoly
Special from United Press. ]

Hartford, Sept. 13.-The House ad- bered, yesterday, to it's former action, insisting on 17 mill tax on oyster beds. The Senate favored 15 mills, the pres ent rate. The tax is placed on the valuation of the beds as determined by the clerk of the state fisheries board -The disagreeing action means that the state loses $S.000 a year, &C., cording to Senator Peck, of Danbury.
 Because the bill appropriating $364, 900 for the Cheshire reformatory contained a Senate rider for a small appropria- tion for a teachers guild, Speaker Scott ruled, today, that the measure was improperly before the House. The reformatory appropriation is for cur rent expenses and buildings. Either the Senate must take off the rider or there will be no appropriation.
 The bill calling for a uniform stock transfer Law was rejected in the House.
 The House concurred with the Sen- ate in definitely postponing the Wep- awaug river or Milford water bill. Representative Evarts reported that the conferees had been unable to agree and his motion carried that the House adhere to it's former action in refus- ing to favor the demands of the New Haven Water Company

THE SUN ARTISTS

Is photography fine art? Are photographers artists? We fancy that he who visits the collection of photographs in the ball room at Steepiechase will find but one answer to these questions. and that strongly in the affirmative. The fine arts are those in which taste and imagination play the dominant part. No mere juxtapcsition of sunlight and chemi- calls could perform the miracles of artistic and faithful beauty shown fdf instance in the Curtis Indian pie lures. There had to be synthesis with a mind highly endowed with concepts of order and form, of light and shade. Only imagination could transfer to plate and paper these spiritualized views of the noble Red

A TYPICAL CONFLICT.

It would seem that the long lead ership of President Donahue of the State Federation of Labor is termf- mated, since he declines to become again a candidate for the presidency of his organization. The contest now resolves into struggle between the radicals and the conservatives for control of the office. The contest is a repetition on small scale of social battles waging throughout the world in every part of society. New ideals are in conflict with old and new wine trys to get itself contained in old bottles. President Donahue's last important speech to the delegates was an indictment of socialism. He de- clared that the radicals sought to de- liver the Trade Union movement to the socialist party. It does happen that MT. McLevy the opposition can didate is a socialist, and indeed the candidate for mayor of his party in Bridgeport.
 No intelligent man will deny that the socialists have long been seeking to control the labor movement, not only in this country but everywhere. The Labor party in England is dis tinctly a party of socialist doctrine. In this country MT. Gompers, head of the American Federation. who has denounced socialism in even strong CT language than MT. Donahue uses, is supporting socialist candidate for mayor in Los Angeles, one Job Hartman, an orator of note.
 The lesson is plain. Old party leaders must make policies accept able to the great body of workers or the old parties will be confound- ed by new political movement of staggering dimensions and imposing force. The old parties must not be |officered by the lackies of great wealth, or they will find themselves without a rank and file. The choice throughout the world appears to be between evolution and order, or rev. olution with it's conccmitant disor- der, confusion and pain.

THE NEW HAVEN REFERENDUM.

At the meeting of the New Haven Board of Aldernien, Monday evening, President Frederick L.. Perry intro duced a resolution submitting pro- posed bond issues of $S50,O00 to the voters in the city election which is to beAheld on Oct. 3. The legislature was much kinder to New Haven than to Bridgeport, since the referendum to the people was made automatic in that city, while in Bridgeport a peti- tion of 15 per cent. was required and but thirty days was allowed in which to obtain it. Good practice lies be- tween these two extremes.
 The petition should be ten per cent. Ninety days should be allowed in which to circulate petitions and veri- fy names. The automatic referen- dunn has the advantage of cucumber ing the vote with matters which may have been settled to the entire satis- faction of the electorate by their rep- resentatives.
 The idea of requiring a petition is that there shall be some indication upon the part of the electorate of demand r. for, submissions General practice through the United States has fixed the number of petitioners at ten per cent. of ,ithe number last voting for governor or mayor. or five per cent. if an entire state is affect ed. Ample time is given for the de- verification of signatures and the like. The most illiberai feature of the Bridgeport referendum was not the large petition required, by the limited time allowed in which to ob- tain and verify signatures.

SQUIRRELS PREDICT
 LONG, HARD WINTER
(Rockvile Leader.l

Those who predict winters by the goosebone route will have to sit UT and take notice of a new method used by VI. F. Smith of ansas City, lessee of Fairmont Park. Mr. Smith pre- diets weather four month ahead ot time by squirrels.
 fsThere are more than three hun- dred walnut and chestnut trees in FNairmont Park" MT. Smith said ''Nhey will bear an extraordinary large crop this year. That usually is a sign of severe winter. But the most po- tent sign is that the thousand or more squirrels in thespark already have be- gun to lay by their winter store ot nuts. Usually, they wait until Sepe- tember before gathering up their win ter supplies. It looks to me as if we were going to have severe win ter, and a long one.''

CORONER IS DISPIEASEO
Davis of MiddIet0wn Angry al Tactics of Railroad De-.
 tectiveS
Considers Their Treatment of Men Under Detention in Connection
 With Recent Wreck Near Middle
 town as High Handed.

Mlddletown, September 14.-Coro- ner Davis is greatly displeased al the turn affairs took in the cases of the four men held under deten- tion at Haddanl jail to appear as witnesses at the inquest into the ford next Monday morning. at 10 o'clock. The railroad detectives, who submitted the men to grueling Cross-examination without any au- thority whatever.
 The coroner made it known that the men should be questioned only after they were told of their rights In the casa. The railroad detectives and the attorney for the railroad ad- mltted that this was correct and then the coroner ordered the men locked up, as they were in the custody of the police. :
 Instead of locking them up the men were kept in the city court room until o'clock on Tuesday morning where they were compelled to sub init to questioning of all kinds, and when their answers did not suit the detectives they say they were yer bally abused and in vile language. The noise of the examination arous- ed people in the house next door, who heard much of the conversation.
 This is the first time that the third degreee' has ever been used here and the comment Is of a distinctly un- favorable character.
 The coroner, said this morning that although he thinks the action of the railroad detectives in examining the men was high handed in the extreme, he will not take any action. He thinks. however, that they have laid themselves open to a charge of con- tempt of court.
 In the case of Alfredo Cecchino it is almost certain that a sad mistake has been made. William Varson, who is in the employ of the railroad company,and resides in the other half of the house with Cecchino on Bridge street, says that Cecchino was at home all the afternoon and evening of the wreck and could not possibly have been anywhere near Maromas. Mrs. Varson and their son substan- tiate this statement.
 In the case of Stefano it is said that he was working on the Air Line road, all day Sunday, until 6 o'clock 1.-the day of the wreck) and that he did not return to the city until 6:30 p. m., and that he is able to account for all his movements after that time.
 Public opinion is very much differ ent concerning the accused men from what it was directly after their ar- rest

IfiE INNOCENT JUSTICE.

Justice Peck of Stratford Is up and at it again. Staunch upholder of the Sabbath that he is, how could he be expected to know that drinks are served in his town on Sunday. True, everybody else knows it. But to the innocent all things are innocent. Should the honest justice see way farer inibibing cocktail on one of the broad verandas of his bailiwick. he would see in it a very beautiful Biblical lesson. The idea that, any body was breaking the law would not occur to him. But with Sunday baseball it is different. No such sim ners must come into Stratford, the justice would see them afar off, hale them to his court and make proper example of them.

INAppREcIATIvg GOVERNOR.

Prof. Frank p. Turner of Ouachita
College, was talking at a Monticello
garden party about the girl graduate:
The girl graduate, with her clear
eyes, her pink cheeks and her supple
figure in its white gown, is, indeed, a
sight for the gods. Mentally, too she
is as delightful as she is physically.
ut is false to believe that all girl
graduates are like a certain governors
daughter. She, a sh yrt time after her
graduation, said:
Papa is so egotistical!'
How so?' asked a friend.
"'Why, after hearing my graduation
essay, he still insists upon writing his
own speeches.

between home and export prices, have
been increased or decreased in re-

The vALuE oE IDEALS

There is one thing we ought to hold
in such sacredness that no considera-
ton could induce us to dilute it, and
that is the quality of the life, the
quality of our ideals. Whatever else
we are careless about, we can not af.
ford to carry through life low ideals,
second-class personalities or demora-
lized mentalities. However humble
our homes or ordinary our environ
ment, we should keep the quality of
the life, the personality, at the high
est possible standard. We should al
low nothing to deteriorate it.
The vast resources and great com
mercial prizes of this country are so
tempting, so fascinating, that by the
time they are ready for active life
our youth are so saturated with com
mercialism, so ambitious to coin every
bit of their ability, their education,
their influence, their friendships, al
most everything into dollars, that all
else is neglected.
Whatever your career, guard your
ideal as the apple of your eye, the
pearl Of great price; for everything
depends upon the direction in which
that points. If it points downward, no
amount Of money or influence can re-
deem you from mediocrity, or even
save you from a degraded life. Man
Is so made that he must follow his
ideal. He can not 80 up if his ideal
points down.-Orison SWEET Marden

GERMAN SYNDICATE METHODS.

Consul General Gaffney writes from
Dresden that a German syndicate does
not, as a rule, control any works as
such, like the American trusts" but
simply the products of the works
Thus a German business manufactur-
ing a dozen different articles will be a
member Of a dozen different syndi,
Gates and not a unit of a single cor
pOration.
/ There are syndicates governing
every important material and article
of iron manufacture, from ore, coal
and coke, to l'ates, bars, wire, ma
chiCery and even nails There are also
district syndicates where local condi-
tions are of a special character. These
syndicates work in great harmony,
considering the conflict of interests.
The usual method of procedure is for
number of the expert officials of the
syndicate to visit the works included,
and to record the geographical situa-
| ton, mechanical equipment, product
i've capacity and special aptitude of
each of the associated concerns Or
ders received are allotted and prices
fixed by the syndicate. Each estab-
| lishment gets its due share of the
| trade available, regard being paid, Of
course, to the location and capacity
of the works. For example a Russian
or Austrian order would, other things
being equal, be allotted to a Silesian
firm, while an English one would go to
a Westphalan shop. The country is
mapped out into trading zones, and
everything possible is done to avoid
waste, overlapping, delay, and high
cost Of transit.
The syndicates are really manufact-
urers' trade unions and cooperative
associations combined, and their Of
ficials and agents attend to a wide va
riety of commercial, legal and other
matters in the interests Of their con-
stituents. Raw materials are bought
and finished products are sold on the
most highly organized and economical
lines
In 1897 some Of the German syndi-
Gates adopter the export bounty pol
icy. Since that time iron and steel
manufacturers have been subsidized in
respect of goods produced for export
The unions controlling fuel, iron, raw
steel, etc, have supplied materials at
cheaper rates when such materials
have been required for manufacturing
for export than when needed for goods
for the home market From time to
