The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-01-24

In an account of the wreck of the sailing ship Carnarvon Bay on King island, Australia, it is related that when the vessel struck the captain calmly took a cigar from his pocket. bit the end off and lit it before order ing the boats to be launched. Even this display of lack of fear did not en- tirely prevent some degree of panic among the men, however, and seven men pushed off in the port lifeboat, leaving twenty-two to scramble into the starboard boat. In spite of the captains orders the men in the port boat refused to come alongside, and those in the starboard boat shouted that if they did not put off the masts would fall on them. Instead of hurry Ing to the boat the captain strolled to his cabin and collected his papers. After he had entered the boat he transferred five men to the port boat and made for Tasmania, 100 miles away. He and the mates steered in turn, while the men bailed with empty biscuit tins, and forty eight hours later both beats reached land.-Chicago News.

 Trenton, N. J., Jan. 24.-The "Old Guard of the New Jersey Dem ocracy went down to utter rout, today Gov efnor Woodrow Wilson, with his lieu tenants, forced the prospective cleo. tion of James E.

Jr., the Newark banker, who had the backing of the state machine, withdrew his name and released his followers from their pledges. The result was that when the vote is taken in joint bal lot, tomorrow. Maritime will be named.
 Smith issued a bitter statement. blaming Governor Wilson for "dus- rupting'' the party.
 In commenting on the outcome Of the Senatorial balloting, this after noon, Governor Wilson said:
 s'I can sincerely say that it is what I expected for I hadn't the slightest doubt that the Democratic members of the Legislature would act in re- spect of their responsibilities to their constituents. This situation IS in the line of the manifest movement or pup lie opinion all over the country.
 t'The Democratic majority of the Legislature is to be congratulated upon having had the opportunity of instituting this great and salutary change and there is every evidence that they have done it with heartiness and satisfaction
 Albany, Jan. 24-The sixth joint bal lot, today, for United States Sena- tor resulted in no choice. William F. Sheehan still holding the lead.
 Sheehan received 85 votes, two of his supporters being absent. The bal ance of the Democratic votes were scattered between 10 other candidates while Depew received the complete Republican strength of 30.

Hartford Jan. 24.-Senator Bartlett today introduced 2 petition wherein Joseph Niedzwieckzi. of Erfdgeplcft asks for the return of s200 bond de- clared forfeited in the Criminal com mon pleas court of Fairfield county some time ago: the petitioner repre- sents that he became surety for one Michael Malz. of Brid geport. who was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to months in jail for a misdemeanor committed in that city.

Marshal Tureen and His Soup.

maTSnat ur0en ana t1fS SOuPs
 There is quaint old shop in London which still bears the name of Samuel Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup in the English capital. Amid all the changes of the city Birch's shop in Cornhill survives in the guise it wore when its owner was lord mayor of London in the memorable year of Wa terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc tion in many fields. He was an orator and a patriot; he was colonel of the city militia and accepted with great good nature his nickname of Marshal Tureen; he was a man of letters, pro- duced plays that held the stage and books that were readable, though now seldom read. One of his plays, 'The Adopted Child" was popular long aft CT its author had killed his last turtle. His daughter married Lamartine, and one of his sons, a fine classical scholar, begat family of scholars. Yet Birch's claim to fame rests most upon the fact that he was the man who made turtle soup popular. City merchants, templars from the inns and dandies from the west end all focked to Corn hill, the turtle house of all London Argonaut.

4.t.ss and s1is Load.


 Strictly speaking, ''atlas" is mis- homer for a map book, since 1t was not the world, but the heavens, that the ''atlas" of mythology upheld. Mer- cator, the famous Dutch geographer, who made globes for Emperor Charles V. of Germany, was the first to use the name in this connection, choosing 1t as a convenient and in some sort an appropriate title, because Atlas, the demigod, figures with a world upon his vhoulders as a frontispiece of some early works on geography.
 Atlas, it was said, made war with other Titans upon Zeus and, being conquered, was condemned to bear heaven upon his head and hands. Lat CT tradition represented him as a man changed by means of Medusa's head into a mountain, upon which rested heaven and all its stars.
 In any case, Atlas was always asso- ciated with heavy burden strongly borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War wick say to Gloucester:
 Thou art no Atlas for so great a weight
 It is not difficult to see how by an association of ideas this came to be chosen as the name for a book of maps which upholds and exhibits to us the whole world.

 CHAPMAN'S DEFENSE
 IN USURY ACTION
(Contiued from Page 1.)

"It is obvious that if this statute can be used to enable the defendant to escape the payment of this note up- on the facts proven. injustice will be done to the plaintiff. who was entire ly innocent of any intention to obtain usurious interest. or to oppress, or take advantage of the defendant. In- deed. the claim made by the defend ants attorney is so ineuuitable that the defendant himself when on the witness stand. repudiated it. It was unnecessary to determine whether the counsel. against the wish of the client. expressed in open court. can still be heard to defend, on the ground that upon the facts in this case the defence lacks legal as well as moral merit''
 Attorneys Garfield. Judson and Pullman appeared for the plaintiff, and Attorney Paul S. Chapman for the defendant.
 When answer was made to the suit, counter claim was entered by the defendant. claiming damages of $250. He claimed he left his home. ell Fair field avenue. in charge of the plain tiff for some time. On his return the furntture and house were considerably damaged. During the progress of the trial the countersuit was withdrawn.

 "How?'' Emily looked round sharp ly. And Mary, too, was all atten- tion.
 Well, we've been threatened with disturbances for some time, and now, think, they are coming, upon us. You see, John, though of excellent militant spirit, is man of peace. I think, if my information and suspi- cions are correct, we're going to have a-warm time."
 "Do you mean there is going to be fghting?" Mary questioned, in some alarm. Her husband smiled round on her, and the alarm instantly vanish ed from her face.
 "Yes, I think SO. By the way, Emily" he went on, with studied un- concern, 'I have little cattle-post out at Pitsani, fifteen miles west of here. It's fairly we'll equipped do- mestically. In fact, I've had it pre- pared. Well, supposing it becomes necessary, would you mind taking temporary refuge there?

 She paused before making a reply When she did so her words came slowly.
 'I don't think John would leave here," she said doubtfully.
 ''No. not ordinarily. I know" the man replied quickly. 'But then"
 "Yes?''
 Both women waited eagerly for the next words. Mary made no effort to conceal her anxiety. Emily was purely inquiring. This talk had lit tie that was new to her. In the old days her life had been lived in the midst of such dangers.
 "You see," Elwood went on, eff John were here, and I came to him. and said, John, old friend, there's going to be a desperate kick-up, and Mary will be in danger. while I am sbusy with-affairs,' he wouldn't hes itate. He would leave his black charges at once, and you two would be promptly carried off into safety. He would guard you with his life if necessary"
 The man had infused quiet play fulness into his manner which de- ceived neither of the women. They both understood that the moment was one of emergency.
 ''Then, for the moment, I will as- sume his responsibilities" Emily said at once.
 Thanks. I knew you would" FL wood gave something very like sigh of relief.
 At this point Mary broke in.
 "But, Ferman," she expostulated. "is there so much need? It seems so selfish to burden Emily like that Is there no other way? I should not be afraid-with you"
 Just for a moment the girl had yielded to her feelings. She would rather share any danger with her husband than leave him. There was such a sense of security for her in his presence; besides, she felt that with her at his side he would be less likely to run into danger hamself. Her outburst brought her a gentle encouraging pressure from Emily, which had the effect of confusing her and mantling her cheeks with deeep blush. She realized that she had been trapped into saying more than she intended.
 'I'm afraid, Mary, there is need. Besides, I do not intend Emily to have the whole responsibility. There will be Tanta with you. And Sat urdag will have a whole army of trained fighting men under his charge"
