and the owner Of the fee abutting on
the highway and the water. find
however the weight of authority to
hold that where a highway termi-
mates at navigable water, the public
have an easement in and a right to
public landing place. The supreme
court Of this state in discussing the
question has said:
when a highway is laid out to
navigable water and there termi-
mates, there could be but little reason
to doubt that 1t was designed for the
purpose of loading and unloading
the water; and it would thereby be-
come a public landing as an incident
to the public highway"
Burrows VS.. Gallup 80 Conn. 499.
So Used for Years.
Furthermore the end of Henry
street has for years been used as a
public landing place with the appar-
ent acquiescence of all who might
possibly assert adverse claims. It is
true that the deed Of the property on
the north of this slip makes the
south boundary of said property the
south line Of Henry street extended
easterly from the face Of the stone
wall at the foot of said street to the
channel Of the harbor. 1t is unneces-
right or interest in this slip which
may have been conveyed by this
deed. I do not think that the grantee
has acquired any title or interest
therein which would warrant his in
terfering with the right of the pub
lie to use this slip.
I would therefore advise you that
the terminus of Henry street at the
harbor is public landing place and
that the public have an easement in
and right to use the slip in front of
said street.
Respectfully submitted this gath
day Of April, 1911.

CITY Attorney

CITY ATTORNEY
SAYS CITY MAS
RIGHT IN BASIN
The Finding.

To the Honorable Common Council
of the City of Bridgeport.
Gentlemen
The city attorney would respect-
fully submit the following report
relative to the slip or waterway at
the foot of Henry street. Some con-
fusion has arisen in this matter. due
to the misuse of terms. In q resolu-
ton, adopted at your last meeting.
the subject was referred to as an In
and title to the Henry street basin.
This basin, so-called, is an area
south of Henry street. used by the
city for sewage purposes. So far as
know. there is no controversy as to
any rights in this basin. The ques-
ton concerns rather the slip at the
foot of Henry street. I am Informed
by the harbor master that the occa-
sion for having this matter inquired
into was some uncertainty as to the
rights Of the public in this slip, in
view of. certain claims made when
he sought to remove a vessel which
was obstructing the same.
This question has not been refer
red by you to the city attorney, but
the city engineer. at the request OF
the harbor master and director Of
public works. had the land and
effort to determine the rights in this
slip. The records do not themselves
define or fix the rights Of tho public
in the slip, but these rights are to be
determined by the application Of le-
gal principles to the existing condi-
and otherwise and therefore present
questions of law. Consequently the
engineer asked me, as city attorney,
TO take the matter under considera-
ton. You have requested that re-
port be made to you, and therefore
in NIL I'M
I submit the following opinion:
Laid Out in 1886.
I find that on December IA, 1885,
a resolution was adopxed by the COM
mon council asking the city attorney
for advice, as to what steps should
be taken to claim Henry street as a
public highway On March rs, 1886,
investigation he found that Henry
street ran to tide water. 1 find fur
Their that on May 18th following, pro-
ceedings were instituted to formally
lay out Henry street. On Decem Der
6, 1886, a resolution was adopted by
ing Henry street as a public high
way, from Main street to the harbor.
The matter was referred to a COM
20 assess benefits and dam
which committee. in due course.
"'ade report and the report was con-
f1rmed.
Court Decision.
1t therefore appears that Henry
street was laid out to the harbor.
When, as in this case, the terminus
of sire, t abuts on a navigable
stream, the authorities are not
agreed as to the rights of the pub
lie to use the water front for dock
purposes or as a landing place. The
law is not positively fixed as to the
relative rinarian rights of tina nnhIin

The present estate of AbbGtsford
was formed during the years 1871 to
1917 from various small farms, the first
nne purchased bearing the "inharmo-
NOUS designation" CLARITY Hole. AFTER
Sir Walter SCOTS death in 1884 a com
mittee of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption of the estate. and
Mr.. Cadet, the publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving the rights over
SCOTS works. The library and museum
had been given some years before by
the creditors. AS his son, Lieut.. Col.
w. Scott, died on his way home from
India, the property descended to J. r..
Lockhart, his so~n-in-law, and thence to
his daughters husband, ]. r. Hope
Scott, whose daughter held the estate
for some years. Many Scott relics are
preserved in the house, notably his
chair and writing table In the study
and his hat and gloves in the hail.

PRESS AS A HOSTILE POWER

ted the severest restrictions for au-
thors and printers, as well as for the

EVOLUTION or THE NECKTlE
II Was Intended at First to Protect
the Throat, and Its History Dates
Back TO the Stuarts.

The necktie, now a purely orha-
mental detail OF dress, once had a dis
tinctly practical use. 1t was intend
ed to protect the throat. Its history
may be traced from the time OF the
Stuarts In England, when immense
rufus which served as neckcloths n
collars, we're worn. Later meckclotns
or cravats were adopted, and DO doubt
were a welcome change from the stln,
uncomfortable ruff. They were OF
Brussels or Flanders lace, tied In a
knot under the chin, and the ends
being allowed to hang square. Still
later they were worn much longer,
the ends being passed through the
button holes of the waistcoat.
The lace neckcloth was succeeded
by small cambria bands, but was re-
introduced In Queen Anne's time, and
did not go out of use entirely until
about 1875. Then a broad silk ribbon.
tied In a large bow In front, was
worn. and this in turn was followed
by a white cambria stock buckled In
Sio DdCh, anu W mubAiH No'oecs
which were tied In front In an I'M
mense bow.
In the early part Of the last cen-
fury the stiff linen collar mad begun
to be worn. and the ravat was passed
twice around the collar, and tied in
a fanciful bow in front. About'1820
cravats were made very wide in the
center. and tapered off toward the
ends. Forty years ago stocks and
cravats began to disappear and scarfs
to take their place. From these s%carfs.
gradually growing smaller, was de-.
veloped the modern neat necktie.

Curious Marriage Custom.

the coming home with his bride can
hardly be considered a very happy
man, for the irato amazons often in.

the lady pursuers are some of the

LINES OF LEAST RESISTANCE
Fallacious Philosophy Upon Which
Most Parents Act in Train
ing Children.

Many youths are trained along the
lines Of least resistance. Their
careers are watched so that they may
not run against obstacles and disap-
pointments. They get all the money,
clothes, idling, pleasures they want,
without making a single effort to os-
sess them. 1--WE want John to ha e
a good time now, for after awhile he
may not have it," Is the philosophy
upon which many parents act.
1t is great folly. The boy who is
put on the lines of least resistance
and meets with few If any adversities,
gathers little strength of mind or
character There is no gliding for
ward. There is no step In advance
mat does not involve an effort. The
boy whose path Is made smooth and
easy for him is like the pupil In

key, He got his lessons, but he died,

HOW BUKNT CORK is MAD;
Product Of theatrical "Palnt Factc
rles" Just As Are Other Cos.
metics Used by Profession.

The popular impression as to tia
application of burnt cork by minstrel
performers and actors In general /,
that it Is rubbed on the face and
hands of the player from g cork whose
end is charred In a convenient "a,
Jet. This impression is, however, In
correct. The burnt, cork used by min.
strels and others is the product Of
the theatrical paint factories" lust
as is any other cosmetic or pigment
employed by the profession.
One house makes 1t in the follow.
ing manner: The corks are placed IN
three tin vessels, resembling washboIl
ers, with holes punched in their side.
and bottom. Alcohol Is sprinkled over
the corks and then they are fired
When the corks have been properly
charred they are placed in muslin
sacks, which are kneaded In barrels
of water. This operation forces the
powdered charcoal through the sacks
into the water.
When all the charred corks have
been worked through the sacks into
the water in this way the water Is
drained through a close canvas sack,
and what remains In that sack Is
ready for the performers. The stuff
Is put up in cans, from which, when
the minstrel is ready to black up
he takes a little of the black paste 10
his hands and applies 1t to his face,
neck and sometimes his hands.
