Charlie Miller Gets
 Send Off in Canaan
Popular Elk Regarded Very Highly by Folks in Vest
 ern Connecticut

Charlie Miller of GA Sanford avenue who is a we'll known Elk and an equally we'll known trainman on the passenger train between New Haven nd Pittsf1eld, stands pretty we'll in Ca- naan. The Connecticut Western News of that town gives Charlie the following send off:
 Charlie H. Miller, though young man-as well as good-looking one may be ranked as a veteran brakeman on the Berkshire division.
 He went into railroading over 20 years ago, as brakeman on work train, from which he graduated to Conductor Dan Thorp's freight train the next year. In 1893 he was trans ferred to the old Wilson Point freight running between Great Harrington and Wilson Point, on which he re- mairfed until 1896 when he was pro noted to the position of passenger brakeman on Conductor Clark Lanes train, running between Pittsfield and Bridgeport. This position he held for aboat 12 years, or until 1898, when he was assigned to his present run, on Conductor Fred Woodruff's pas senger train, running between New Haven and Pittsfield.
 He is one of the best known and most popular brakemen in the ser vice. and enjoys an extensive acquaint- tance all along the line. He has two brothers, Lyman and Morris, who have been in the service of the road as brakemen, II years and 10 years respectively Charlie has wife and two children, and lives in Bridgeport.
 He is an enthusiastic and skillful hunter and fisherman, and knows all the best trout streams from New Haven to Pittsfeld. A few days ago he came up to Falls Village, and in company with that local fronting ex- pert, 'Wilr' Argall, captured a record string of trout. As dog fancier and breeder he has a wide reputation. He has at present eight female dogs, and seven pups, of the Boston bull variety. which is his speciality, and has sold pups, at prices running as high as $500 to parties as far off as Florida.

Professor Guilty :. Indignantly Resents
 Unjust Criticism
Says Ball Room at SteeplechaSe Island is Conducted on a
 High Plane

Daniel Guilty, the we'll known danc- ing master and proprietor of the Colonial ball room, called the atten- tion of the Farmer today to the ball room at Steeplechase Island, against which have been directed numerous criticisms of late.
 People who characterize the Stee- plechase Island ball room as a low resort do not know whereof they speak," said MT. Guilty. T have too much at stake to allow my reputation to be jeopardized by being connected with a lawless> establishment. I have accepted the management of this part of the island from Captain Boyton, who has given me personal supervision and unrestricted regulation of the place.
 'In the first place. I want to ob- ject most strongly to the charge that young girls are allowed to frequent the bali room. The rule is that young girls are not allowed to go into the ball room unless we are satisfied that they are accompanied by parents Or guardians. Minors, in fact, are not in the dance hall at all unless accom- panied by older persons.
 "I want the publicNto know that the character of the ball room at Steeple- chase Island is such that I am proud to have my name coupled with it, and believe I may say my reputation in the community for conducting first class establishments ought to give weight to my statement.
 "I have a number of experienced as- sistants, who like myself know by ex- perience how to discriminate in the personnel of those we admit. If any person is really interested in this sub ject, and sincere in his belief that the ball room is not properly conducted, I would gladly have him visit the isl- and, and inspect the ball room at lei sure. Then he will be satisfied that conditions are model"

manship naturally f1ourishes among a people habttually self-possessed and masterful, habitually like to see things as they are.
 We have accordingly acted upon constructive, not destructive, pro- grams; by process of common coun- cil and not by process of impatient revolt. We have been masters of our own life and of our own fortunes because we have been masters of our selves.
 It is for such reasons as these tf14t we take leave to be proud of the history of American freedom. It has not been the pursuit of phan- toms. We have made slow con- quests of opportunity. We have rev. serve our purpose. We have treated constitutions like vehicles of life and not like mere lawyers documents, and this because we have always known what it was we would be at. We do not interest ourselves in our politics because 1t is the means of our life. Our object is that every man should have his free opportunity; that no man should enjoy privileges not open to his ne1ghbor; that no man should rule us without our consent; that the instruments employed, whether polit- tcal or economic, should be our own, to be used as we deemed best. Our
 
 broad. hard headed, definitely aimed and contrfved, and we shall remain free and powerful so long as we re- tain this spirit and this method.
 l dwell upon these things because so many men in recent months have seemed to fear that we were about ID experience a change of plan and a loss of the prctfcal genius which has so far safeguarded us. They seem to fear this because there is now so much plain speaking about the things that need to be remedied But this is the ground of our safety, not of our danger. We shall endanger our lives only when we cease to be out spoken and candid and fearless of the truth. It is the spirit of America that we should know her people, her con ditions, her prospects ,as they are. If we speak plainly it does not mean that we shall act hastily or unjustly On the contrary, it means that when we do act we shall know what we are about and shall reproduce the spirit of American liberty in our thoughtfulness as we'll as in our au- dacity. Every step Of American de- velopment has safeguarded every thing that deserved to be permanent and cut off only what was an excres- cence and unsuited to the deeper pro- cess of our life.
 The future will be like the past and will reveal an ever increasing genius for that which builds up, puri- fes, strengthens, Eliminates and con- serves for the prudent uses of pos terity

Fourth Of July Costs Uncle Sam
 Thirteen Lives

Thirteen deaths from the old fash toned celebration of the Fourth of July was the total reported in the United States, according to figures compiled by the Chicago Tribune last night.
 The nationwide spread of the sane Fourth movement brought fruit in the smallest number of celebration casualties ever recorded. In nearly every city where the use of explo- sives by individuals was prohibited, no accidents were reported. In oth- CTS where the discharge of explosives was permitted under limitations, there was a decided falling off in the number of the dead and injured as compared with previous years
 The death list of 13 compares with 28 reported the first night of last years celebration, when the sane Fourth movement was effective in fewer cities. The number of injured reported is 294 ,as against 1,785 re- ported up to the same hour last year. In 1909 there were A killed and 2,361 wounded.
 Of the 50 large cities, which have ordinances forbidding the use of any fireworks or the restricting their youths to the least harmful, nearly half had their new ordinances in force for the first time.
 Giant hrecrackers took the lead in the number of fatalities, causing five of 13 deaths. Revolver and fire arms were second, with four. Gun powder caused two, and the toy pistols, for merly the chief death agents, caused two deaths.
 The holiday generally was cele- Drated with parades, speeches, con- certs and displays of fireworks under municipal regulation.
 In Chicago there was only one per son killed, a little girl, who died as the result of burns, when a firecrack- CT set fire to her dress. Thirteen in- Juries were traceable to fireworks. Six were burned by gunpowder, three by other varieties of fireworks, one by f1recracker, and three were shot. The neat killed many more than fell victims to the sane Fourth.

TRoLLEYs WERE FREQUENT.

The COnneCt1cut company nandIeu the immense throngs in an able man. ner yesterday. It was a particularly trying day for the motormen and con- ductors, who had to put in the hard est days work of the year in order to help make the holiday pleasant for the general public. Cars were run on very short schedule, and while there was the inevitable crowding, due to the hot weather and the holiday, con- ditions were not nearly so bad as might have been expected.

habit of half-doing things will final
ly destroy the very structure of the
mind and viii certainly prevent his
or her full success.
In George Elliot's "Middlemarch"
we see an illustration Of this in the
description she gives of the gradual
decline of Mr.. Vincey'S prosperity
from the time he began to use cheap
dyes recommended by his sham
religious brother-in-law, which were
soon found to rot the silk for which
he had once been famous. 1t is
not the man like Mr.. Vincey who
succeeds but one like Adam Rede,
who drives straight the nail and
planes true the board.
The following readable little story
is worthy of reflection by every boy
and girl who reads it and also
worthy of emulation is the method
used by the boy in the story:
IT'S DONE, SIR.
One day All employer said to a
youth beginning life as clerk, Now
tomorrow that carga of cotton must
be got and weighed, and we must
have a regular account Of it,,
He was a young man of energy.
This was the first time he had been
entrusted to superintend the execu-
ton of this work. He made his ar
rangements over night, spoke to the
men about their carts and horses.
He resolved to begin very early in
the morning, and he instructed the
laborers to be ready at half past
four. His master came in and
seeing him sitting in the counting
room, looked very black for he sup
posed that his command had not
been executed.
Il thought" said the master, you
were told to ger out that cargo this
morhing?"
It's all done sir" said the young
man, and here is the account of it,
He never looked behind him from
that moment-never! His CHARGE
ter was fixed, confidence was estab-
Iished. He was found to be the
man to do the thing with prompt
ness. He very soon came to be one
who could not be spared-he was
as necessary to the firm as any of
the partners.
