PROTECTION FOR EMPLoYES.
Washburn Crosby Company Provides Men With Accident, Illness and Death indemnity.

On plans approved by James $. Bell and William H. DunWoody, president and vice president of the Washburn- Crosby company, the Washburn Ac- cident Insurance association or organ ization, that has existed for 27 years, has been re-organized on a scale of iberality unparalleled by anything known in mutual industrial protective insurance under corporate direction.
 It is now proposed to take from the or suggests charity and to make it a business proposition. Five cents a week will be the assessment levied upon every member, or $2.60 a year.
 From an income of 3 cents 8. week from every member, the new associa- ton will guarantee: Accident bene- fit of $9 a week, not to exceed twelve consecutive weeks for one accident; on accidental death, legal dependent heirs to receive $500. less amount, if any, paid for weekly indemnity; sick benefit of $9 a week after four days tive weeks for one sickness; on natural death legal dependent heirs to re- ceive $500, less amount, if any paid for weekly indemnity; on death from accidental or natural cause, funeral expenses not to exceed $775 will be paid. The plan becomes operative Mo- Vember 29.
 That cents a week from every employe will not measure up any where near the sum that will be re- quired annually to meet the expendi- ture of the association is recognized by four officials of the company, who investigated the matter thoroughly. They are James Ford Bell. Franklin M. Crosby, John Crosby and Benjamin s. Bull. Based upon past experience the company sees that there will be an annual deficit in the affairs of the association, but it will make this good.
 Another feature of great importance to the workingmen is the lack of any restrictions as to age or physical con dition.
 The Washburn- Crosby company ex- poets that every employe will take ad- vantage of the offer, although there will be nothing compulsory about it.

FELLOW SERVANT LAW To Be Opposed by Railroad Unions, Is
 Is Said

information that comes from New Haven is to the effect that various inn portant bodies of organized labor. en- ployed on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad system. will go before the incoming session of the Connecticut legislature with a bill cov- er1ng the employers liability law and seeking to do away with the clause which now prohibits or flinders the employe from securing a financial rem edy from the corporation for which he is working under the fellow servant clause.
 The matter is one that has been un- der consideration by these bodies for a long time and counsel has been en- ployed, it is said, to investigate just how far the laws of other states apply to this subject in contravention to the present law in Connecticut This will be shown when the proposed bill final ly comes up for hearing in Hartford
 Unions among others interested in the promulgation of the new bill are: The Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Photographers. A meeting of the representative of these to discuss the situation will be held this week.
 A representative of the movement said yesterday that in a general way they would ask to have the fellow ser want clause removed and to place the trainman who was injured on the same grade of remuneration as is the pas senger on 8 railroad. He said that the matter of acceding to the death limit of s5,60e for a death, as is now the law for persons Wi1o are not employees, has not yet been considered.

ANTIQUE SECRETARY
Once Owned by Aaron kinne of Old
 Fort Griswold.

Mrs. Bessie s. Avery of Stafford Springs writes the New London Tele- graph:
 While in Hartford last week visiting stores and shops of various kinds, found on Morgan street. nearly oppo- site the old Morgan place, where J. r. MorGan's father used to live. a little shop where they sold sewing machines. Upon entering this little place I noticed at once an interesting bit of old furn- tare. made in the eighteenth century. l asked the proprietor how he came in possession of it, and he gave me the following history:
 1t originally belonged to Rev Aaron Ninne- who preached in the COnere- gational church in Groton for thirty two years. He was also serving as chaplain at Fort Griswold at the time it was taken.
 Rev. Aaron Kinne was born Sept 24 E7A He married Annie Morgan of Colchester. Conn. Aaron Kinne the

second removed to Glastonbury, where his son Gideon in 1850 built the house where the old secretary was purchased of Gideon Kinne's daughter, it having been in the ia nify for four generations. It was greatly prized but death and removal have broken Np the family.
 The old piece bears the date of 179T. It is a secretary, tall and imposing, with a hood top nicely carved. The upper part is designed as a bookcase and in the lower part are four large drawers The desk part is filled with small drawers, the center one of which is ornamented with g. dainty fan carv- ing and pigeonholes. An especial un- usual feature Is two little candle rests which pull out over the desk and un- der the bookcase.

Poking Fun at Eugene.

To the serious call of the philologer and etymologer may The Sun never be deaf:
 ."To the Editor of The Sun.-Sir: Which expression, floss or fuss is preferable? Are both in good usage? :? I am from Ohio and have been brought up to say fuss (noun or verb); but here in Massachusetts I am laughed at if I use this form. Everybody says, for instance: O whats the use of making such a floss Or: He's all ways Tossing with his machine
 "tIs fossright or is fuss right; or are both right? c. F. P.
 Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, Boston. Dec. 27."
 'Foss' seems to be the favorite contemporary shape of the word. At lease we seldom hear the other and corrupted form. A high Columbia au- thority assures us that the .'o1 is it's original and only genuine vowel, the ''u'' he attributes to sympathetic as similative misapprehension.'' the ori- gin of the word being onomatopoetic. Centuries before the passage 'of drimm's law there was an interjec- ton somewhat like spoof." s.fooh' y Lancaster of "faughD. .booh'' "P' was amended to ..f.' the sibilants call ed iR by fsik analogy with haas. :.

BIG GAME PRESERVE.
Millionaire Has One North of Dan-
 bury.

City Engineer Samuel w. Hoyt, Jr., of South Norwalk, was in New Ca naan last week laying out some work for his assistants. MT. Hoyt has a corps of helpers surveying s> 2,00O- acre game preserve about ten miles north of Danbury, for Q. Chicago mil lionaire.
 Some idea Of the size of this pre- serve can be had from the fact that it is nearly three times the size of the city of South Norwalk. Game in this vicinity is very plentiful, MT. Hoyt says. On one of his trips to the grounds he saw four cartridges and no end of deer and fox tracks, and the neighbors told him that two large wild cats were recently trapped on the preSerVe.

Another determined strike of the oyster openers of South NorwaIk and Rowayton is in progress, two plants being affected, namely, the Northport Oyster company and the Stevens Oyster company. In both places the contention is against the new dipper, by the use of which the growers do away with the costly shrinkage and claim to even up matters, in that they do away with the juices and get a dipper full of oysters and full value

had scholars tell me that they believed
Wildes version and conception was in
reality the Bible story. She is a beautiful
princess the daughter of a vicious mother
and vicious age. Vice is her heritage, her
inevitable heritage; her soul is saturated
with 1t.
she is inexperienced and very young.
Her youth Is In its dewy rosy dawn, She
is just splendid little savage who knows
no law but her own passions She sees
John the Baptist and declared him with a
hunger like one starving. 1t is more than
desire, in reality the demand of soul.
She must have him and will have him, even
though death give him to her.
Her passion is not the kind Of love
which the sheltered girl of today gives to
the little fellow In spats and eye-glass,
who carries his stick Just so II is not a
pink-tea emotion, not a Sunday school
passion But what of that? Remember
Salome was a savage, a compound of
honey and Tigers blood. To Judge her we
must shake the dust of the twentieth CEN
fury civilization from our feet and adopt
the viewpoint of the primal world.
This for me is not horror; II is the
sublimation of love that conquers all
things that sets the triumphant foot upon
death itself and sings its paean of final
victory in salomes last words: 4 have
kissed thy mouth Jokanaan. That kiss
was to her worth dying for"
