FALL AT TAFT
PROVES FATAL

New Haven, Aug. 14-John Murphy,
of 29s East street, died at st. Ra-
phaePs hospital early Saturday morn
ing as the result of injuries received
in a fall Of three stories at the Hotel
Taft Friday afterooOn. Murphy
was a steam filter and was at worls
on the third floor when he fell be-
tween the planks which had been
laid On the Orders for the workmen
to walk on. In the fall he received a
fracture at the base of the skull and
it was this that caused his death.
Murphy was the sole support of his
mother and sister, and the accider{
is consequently even more unfortu-
nate than it would otherwise have
been. His sister went to the hospital
Immediately after the accident and
could not be persuaded to leave She
staid by her brothers bedside until
his death. Mrs. Murphy, the injured
mans mother, is Frustrated and spent
most of Friday night on her knees
praying between sobs for her sons
recovery. She tainted when she was
informed of his death.
The injured man was an expert me-
chanic, but had been out of work for
some time before he secured the lob
on the Taft hotel a few days ago. He
has only a few dollars pay coming
and the outlook for the little family
of which he was the bread winner. is
a black one, indeed.
Murphy was 80 years Of age.

May Bring Case To

Handen Threatens to Take
Question of Exchange
Up There

New Haven, Aug. 14-That the plan
of the Southern New England COM
pany to put in an exchange in Ham
den If carried out will not go I'M
challenged is the statement made by
William Avis, Of that town. He says
that If the company persists in cut
ting off the town front the New Ha-
ven telephone he will make an appeal
to the public utilities commission, un-
der section "a of the act which says
in effect that any person having an
agreement against a telephone COM
pany or public service corpora ton
may write to Or appeal before the
commission to enter complaint, and
the commission may order a hearing
and cause the representatives of the
telephone company to appear before
it.
It is believed that the company will
not for the present; at least, insist
upon giving the Hamden people what
they have emphatically said they do
not want The telephone representa-
tives have on two different occasions,
at the Hamden town meeting and the
meeting of the directors of the Whit

that they would not court any such
action in fact they intimated that
they would go a long ways before
they would be put in such an unen-
viable light before the public.

Mr. Chamberlain-The people Of
Oregon showed by their vote that
they agreed with you, and / think
they showed by their vote that they
agreed with the senator from Utah on
every law to which he has objected.
Mr. Sutherland am calling at
tention to the fact that change Of
1900 votes would have put the law
into operation. Why should the peo-
pie of Oregon or of any other state
be subjected to the burden Of pass
ing on a law of that kind. concocted
by thoroughly irresponsible body OF
men, published and put in this book
at the expense of the state and circu-
lated at great expense among the vot-
ers.
The Peoples Power league, how
ever, proposed. another law, which
was adopted by a small majority:
namely, the law providing for the
election of delegates of the several
political parties to their respective
national conventions, every delegate
so elected being entitled to receive
from the state treasury the amount
of his travelling expenses necessarily
spent in attending the convention, not
to exceed $500. Hereafter when any
group of enterprisin9 gentlemen may
desire a pleasure trip at the public
expense all they will need TO do win
be to organize a party, call nation
al convention and elect themselves
delegates.
L should not like to suggest that
any of these visionary schemes are
being advocated from motives Of self
interest, and yet that sort Of thing
sometimes happens in this cold and
selfish world.

PUBLIC OPINION

Garbage Problem

Editor of the Farmer:
Sir-This garbage question evolves,
developes, makes prominent, the same
old familiar inabecile, General Stupid
ity. who is the most prominent per-
sonality in the sewer, street and school
Company boil the garbage, less the
insoluble and non-decomposable parts.
They fail for want of sufficient evap-
Grating or drying and pulverizing
machinery. AS to treating the pro-
duct with naptha, to extract the oil
Or other elements that might be taken
out, the product must be as dry' as
dried apples or dried peaches.
Fisher boils the garbage, including
tin cans, bottles, brick-bats, horse
shoes, stautary, knives, forks, spoons
and all table ware, 1t then goes
through iron or steel press rolls and
the process takes out Is per cent Of
the valuable part, celulose, sacharine,
acetic acid, oil, and vegetable fibre.
This goes down the sewer in a volatile
liquid condition, it will all float on the
surface of the water. When the tide
flows twice in each "a hours, it car
ries this matter up into the pond and
deposits it on the mud flats, compris-
ing half the area Of the pond.
Now, General Stupidity, every thirty
days you get sixty layers of this val
liable compound to dry, and eVapor-
ate, you don't like the aroma, the diff
f1cu1ty is in the ombination. If any
of these individual doors were in your
kitchen, as boiled cabbage, fried fish
or any Of the doors that go with good
cookery, you would not kick, but eat.
You don't know what to do. Go to
New York, hire McKim, Mead &
White, or r. Herring, pay $1,000 for
advice and not get what you want.
The material that Fisher reclaims
would not appear to me to be of much
value. believe it would make good
fuel and as such equal S. per ton, and
the plant might be run on it, but it is
likely the exquisite, delicate, efferves-
cent, fleeing odor might be visible to
the sensitive nostrils of the Smelling
Committee"
Kind reader, nothing would afford
me so much pleasure as to abuse this
scheme with all the profane e1oquence
1 am capable of. but the editor would
not print it. Neither would /, as edi-
tor.

Railroad Accident.

The combination, 'Hangman's lot"
a woman superintendent and Murder
Creek was too much for this fellow
and he told his mates in the car that
if he died he was going to die with
his boots on, and so when he turned
in, it was in his clothes. Jennings
peeled to his Undertaking and bunk
ed with his squad in the forward end
of the car and went to sleep. The
next thing that he knew there was a
crash and his booted companion was

oaths The awakened sleepers piled
out and found that their section had
smashed into the horse section at
Murder Creek. They were standing on
the brink of a ravine, gazing down in
to a depth which the trains had barely
escaped filing. The section which had
conveyed Mr.. Jennings and his depart
ment had been hauled by two locomo-
tives, the second of which had tele-
scoped the first. Both engineers were
killed.

Two years later Mr.. Jennings was
on railroad entering Kalamazoo
with a squad in a passenger coach. 1t
was early in the morning and those
first awakening were glad to get
breath of pure air after the closeness
of the car and a number crowded up
on the forward platform. Mr.. Jen-
nings was inside and coming to the
world Of consciousness.
Suddenly there was crash and he
heard the cries Of his comrades who
had been sitting on the car steps, The
truck of the car had been condemned
and repairs were to be made on ar

taking just one trip too many; the

STIRRING OLD DAYS
WITH THE CIRCUS
Lessee Jennings of he Hartford The
alter Chats About Thrills with the
Old-Time Show-Accidents in Two
States.
Hartford Times.)

Lessee H. H. Jennings of the Hart
ford theatre was chatting, today,
about the old times when he was in
the heyday of youth and took chances
In the exciting line which he was then
pursuing, the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus. He had met with excitement
when a boy, having fought his initial
skirmish in the battle Of life when he
was left fatherless at z and had
started out ais newsy and had adj
vanced to the distributing of hand
bills for the old Barnum circus in
Bridgeport his home city. From
hand-bills he went to the advertising
car, a wonderland with gay posters
and pictures of tigers and lions and
hyenas and with buckets Of paste and
advertising equipment aplenty. For
several years he toured a wide range
of the country, about four weeks in
advance of the show. On arrival in
CITY he went to a livery and char
tered light business wagon and drove
out into the suburbs and beyond.
Many a barn felt his brush and many
a shed grew grey with portraits of
the man who put his head into the
lions mouth. 1t might be considered
an idylMc life, driving out into the
burgeoning country in April, May and
June and inhaling fresh air and bar
gaining with children of the pillow and
chatting with buxom farmer lasses,
but Mr.. Jennings says that it had it's
faults. There was hard work plaster
ing barnsides and late returns ito the
mother car
''The Fall of Rome.''
Harking back to Bridgeport Mr..
Jennings became stage manager of a
theatre and Sater she took charge of
stage effects for the Kfradfys' Nero;
or the Fall of Rome" an open air
spectacle which had scored immense
success in ST. George on Staten Island
The show was Of the kind where gay
color and nocturnal effects and the
blare of music captivated the fancy
of a large section of the pleasure
loving public It blazed a path of
Roman trfumphal professions and
burning Christian martyrs and captive
Numidians and Carthaginian elephants
half across the continent and taught
school children strange things about
the Roman emperor and 1fctors and
fasces and senatus populusque Ro-
manus.
One day Mr. Jennings found himself
In Macon, Ca, and was told that
Nero was to show in a lot that was
known as '1nangman's lot
'.Why?" he asked.
THAT is the place where they hang
niggers,'' he was informed. eff you
don't believe it, look up and see the
buzzards flying around
Circus people are more or less super
stitious and they were gloomy dur
ing the night that they were enter
tainging the Maconese. But the show
entrained and started on a jerk rail-
road for Athens pronounced Ay-
thens).
1t was revealed to the superstitious
in the show that it was d woman who
was superintendent Of the railroad.
Circus people in those days did not
take kindly to the new women and
some of them remembered the sailors
