The Colored Soldier.

In time of peace the negro soldier seems a hard proposition for the war department He has been an unpopu- lar citizen since Ben Butler raised his first black regim in New Orleans. Now it has been necessary to move the Ninth cavalry out of San Antonio, and the rest of Texas, through the medium or loud mouthed congressman, seems to be preparing protests against re- ceiving it.. The south is not alone in the matter. Not long ago Vermont was objecting to the presence of the Twenty fifth infantry. One reason for retaining the colored troops in the service is that their disbandment would make the disbanding admins tration nightly unpopular with the colored vote. Another is that the negro has proven mighty handy man in time of trouble. From Fort Pillow to Santiago the record of the four black regiments is as fine as that of any in the United States Waterbury American.

LAW FOR LAWYERS.
Judge William H. Williams Admon- ishss Them That Statute Must Be Obeyed.

Judge William H. Williams in the superior court at Hartford last week, let the members of the bar know some thing as to what the practice in the court should be. and the ruling which Judge Williams made will have tendency to keep down the length of the short calendar docket
 Some years ago the judges in annual meeting made rule that where in the time fixed by the rule, the party who was late in filing the pleading would have to get permission from the court before the pleading could be filed. The rule also provided that the party who had not filed the pleading would have to pay certain costs to the other party, unless the right to costs was waived.
 Lawyers in some sections of the state, particularly in New Haven county. didn't like the rule the judges made, and they went before the legis- Aature in 1909, and got statute passed under which the belated pleading could be filed without going to the court. provided stipulation for it's filing. signed by tl1e parties, was filed with the clerk of the court.
 The lawyers in this county have not lived up to the statute. The practice here has been when pleading was due to put the case on the short call endar docket, and the lawyer who wanted & pleading filed would ask in open court for an order. When Judge Williams opened his first short ea1en- dar session here a week ago yesterday and was told that in some of the cases where pleadings were overdue it had been agreed that they might be filed within a certain time without costs, he ordered the cases from the short calendar list and told the law yers to file stfp1atfons with the clerk, as the statute of 1909 provided. At the session yesterday Judge Williams proceeded along the same course and then the lawyers asked questions. Judge Williams told them that if the terms of the stipulation when filed, were not carried out and if the atten- ton of the court was called to it, he would order default or 8 non- suit against the party in default. The judge was asked if an oral statement of agreement, made in court. such as had been the practice in this county, would not be satisfactory. The judge thought . written stipulation was bet tor, and the plan he had suggested was the one he had carried out in other counties of the state where he had been. Because of the ruling, when lawyers now reach an agreement for the filing of 8 beiated pleading, they will file a stipulation with the clerk instead of going to the court. the mat ter will not go on the short calendar docket and it will be up to some one to prepare form of stipulation Judge Williams is the first judge of

One Genuine in 2s Ressars.

Captain Frank Sulzer of the Saliva ton Army tells me of one interesting experience he had with 8 rich Boston merchant. The merchant came to him. and said he was consistently asked for money by men on the streets, who had hard luck story. Rather than see the men go, possibly, hungry he would give them some change.
 Sulxer suggested this plan: When ever the merchant was asked for money he was to refuse. but he was to give the beggar his card with this written on it.
 Captain Sulzer. please give this man a lodging at the Peoples Palace, and put 26 cents for lodging to my ac- count
 At the end of a week the merchant called up the captain and said: T have just given my 25tn O.. K.ed card for charity lodging?"
 "You owe us just 25 cents" said Sulxer 'sOnly one man has shown up here. Twenty -four frauds and one real article'-Boston Record.

A Monster osrm.n naIIeen.


 An interesting story comes by way of London of Germany's intention to put an enormous dirigible balloon into commissions craft so tremendous as like pygmies in comparison. The pro- posed dirixible is to be eight times as large as the counts latest Deutschland, and is expected to transport one hun dred and fifty passengers. in addition to a crew of one hundred, from Europe to America. The, time of passage is to be only three days, and the termini of the line-for there are to be more similar balloons and regular service across the ocean-will be London and New York. This is all very thrilling. but in view of the limited success of the Zeppelin airships and the wreck Of Mir Welman's America last year it is not probable that the transatlantic balloon will demonstrate it's practica- biIity in the early future Providence Journal

State Forests.

At the present time Connecticut has three forests which are under own ership and control of the state. Tol- land county has one of 300 acres, Hartford one of 150 acres and Mid dlesex one of 1,1o0 acres. This is a start in the right direction. and there should be more accumulations of land by the state Taking such land as has been absorbed by the state does not deprive any towns of taxation .in- come to any great extent, for most of it has value of not more than two or three dollars an acre. By planting the state forests with useful trees,a home will be given for the small animals and the game birds, and the farmers will be given a pointer in how to de- velop land which they are too much disposed to put down as useless. In all of the counties of Connecticut there is much land which the state could take over to advantage and 1t should establish more forests.-New Haven pulladillul

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
l Don't Understand.

MT. Editor: If there was law for bidding any one visiting the North pole, is there any such evidence that Peary ever saw it, as to lead to his conviction? But in absence of law, if he has made the discovery. what prac- tical benefit is it to any one in the United States. outside of his own fam fly? If it is said to be in the interest of science, can any one tell what science? It has been said consistency is a jewel. Is there such consistency in the whole story that we find any thing in it worthy of the. name "a JeweP'? If not, was it wise for con gress to make him rear admiral at a salary of S6,000 8 year for life? If not a benefit and stimulated no one to pursue the cause of right, why should congress pass the resolution?

Successful Jewish Colonies.
Both the Zionist movement and the
Jewish Colonization Society have es-
tablished colonies in various parts of
Palestine. Their contention that some
what of the ancient fertility and pros
perity of the land may be restored is
doubtless correct. Better government,
and better agricultural methods will
revolutionize conditions here, as else
where throughout Turkey. But thus
far there has been no conspicuous
success attending the purely agricul-
tural colonies. The Jew has been too
long away from the soil for that. In
the best of the farm settlements, near
Jaffa, the colonists make use of Arab
labor. Their own aptitude Is for
trade.
At Zamarine, in Galilee, one OF the
old Jewish settlements, which has
been In existence for more than twen-
ty years, the people. mostly Rouman-
ians, are on a basis Of self-support,
except for some slight assistance for
the school. Their industry is wine
making. They have quite an Euro
pean community in the midst of Syria.
The order and cleanliness Is in, sharp
contrast with the conditions in tt
berias. However, the latter Is deeply
religious, whereas one old Hebrew
told me that the Zamarine colonists
have no religion. Surely, though,
there was nothing less than reltg-
ious motive back of the words of the
village druggist as he told me that
the people made modest living; mot
so good as we could make in America,
but then, we are in the Promised
Land, you know"
There are now about two-score of
Jewish colonies in Palestine, not to
mention those in adjacent lands. The
most successful of all is In the Island
of Cyprus. The leaders are giving
more and more attention to the trea-
ton of self-supporting bodies, il an
effort to restrict the hurtful effects of
indiscriminate charity. These leaders
are too powerful to have all that they

rather cynically, ''There is as much
bribery as ever in Turkey, only the
prices come higher" This / hasten to
explain, at least in part, on the ground
that the Young Turks are obliged to
work with the tools that they find
ready to their hands.
The natural increase of the Jewish
population of Palestine must be COM
paratively small, as so large a percen-
tage of the colonists are old people
who have come here to end their days.
These are the more religious element,
and they are largely Spanish and Rus

of old persons to be seen in Jerusalem

pathos.

which is in compliance with a rabbi
nical teaching against trimming the
hair. 1t must be confessed that this
gives a decidedly other-worldly ap-
pearance to the male Jews, especially
since they generally affect the long
cloak or gaberdine.
Most Of these persons depend upon
aid from outside Of Palestine for their
maintenance. 1t Is very small al
lowance, and so most of them live in
very meager style. The statement has
been repeatedly made to me in the
Holy Land that Zionism has pauper-
lied the Jews. Certainly their ply
siognomy does not reveal the traits
of alertness and aggressiveness which
characterize the American Jew. If IT
be true, as commonly stated, that ev-
cry Jew here receives his portion"
from abroad, the effect has been mani
testify deleterious. Able to subsist on
a pittance, the incentive to indepen-
dent labor is removed, with the result
