have already been made among Eng.
fish people to attend the Durbar at
Delhi, which will be a gorgeous Sc
quel to the coronation ceremonies at
Westminster.
A change had to be made this week
in the date, which was originally ser
for January /, 1912, and it is now n
question whether the function will De
arranged for the latter part of Deem
Der, 1911, or the early part of January,
1912, so as not to conflict with either
the Indian feast of the Mohurrum or
with Christmas.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the
necessity for this change was discov-
ered not by the India Office here, but
by the authorities in India In fact,
Judging by the information which your
correspondent was able to obtain in
Whitehall this week, the Indian Office
here has not begun to make any pre-
parations for the event, important as
i; is. A high official of Lord Crewe's
staff has courteously offered to place
all the available information at the
disposition of American readers when
it should be ready. He said
THE coronation at home comes
first, and until we have got the ar
rangement for that over. we cannot
give much attention to a function yet
year distant"
The same courteous official smiled
when it was suggested that a good
many Americans would probably like
to know the plans as soon as possible,
as they might wish to see the cere-
monies. 1t was intimated that Sleep
ing accommodations might be difficult
to obtain, not to speak of the circum-
stance that King Georges presence
would attract a much greater repre-
sentation of English people than was
the case at the Durbar of 1908. Z
Indeed, it is the general expectation
that the splendors Of the last Durbar
will be paled by comparison with ,
those of the coming one. King George
will be accompanied by Queen Mary,
and, according to the address made by
Lord Hardinge shortly after his ar
rival in India to succeed Lord Mimic
as Viceroy, their Majesties will pro-
badly spend some days in Calcutta.
This will be the first time in the
history of the British Empire that
the English Sovereign has visited one
of the oversee possessions of the
crown, and the effect of the actual
presence of their Emperor upon the
races of the East, where forms and
ceremonies have greater Importance
and prestige than in the Western
world, is expected to be most beneficial
to British rule in the dependency
which, as Lord Morley once said, is
Britain's only real empire.
Only two great coronation Durbars
have been held since India became a
dominion of the crown, but neither
was graced by the actual presence Of
the sovereign. Both were held on
New Years Day, the first in 1877,
when Queen Victoria was proclaimed
Empress of India by Lord Lytton;
the second in 1908, was held in Lord
Curzon's Viceroyalty and was attend
ed by the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught.
Cable dispatches received from In
dia this week stating that the date of
the coming Durbar would be changed
failed to explain specifically why New
Years Day, which was considered ap-
propriate for two previous Durbars,
should now be unsuitable.

PARIS ADOPTS NEGRO DANCE.

PARIS, January 24.-Society in
Paris has a teTpsichorean novelty. t
is a dance called the Argentine Lar
co." the inspiration of which has come
here by way of South America from
the negro communities of the United
States.
It's rhythm is described as that of
the cake walk played adagio. There
is a combination in it of syncopation
with a slow, languorous melody which
is said to be particularly fascinating.
French society seems to be going wild
over it.

Uses and Meaning
 of True Courtesy

Small courtesies of life seem to be entirely lost in the rush for big things. This leaving off of the little things that go to make living worth the while is we'll known and recognized fact to women who crave those graceful at tentions so easy in the giving when the thought is right.
 Many men no longer consider it nec- essary to rise when lady enters the room. If they proffer a chair, it is seldom done with the oldtime alacrity, and a few trips on a city car will be sufficient to convince the veriest scep- tic of the truth of courtesy's deca- dence.
 Be 1t said in favor of man, continu- ally on the rack regarding these omis- SionS, that he is by no means the great est offender. Women who entertain will tell you of scores Of invitations to which they have never even receiv- ed the courtesy of an acknowledgment. "R. S. V. P.'' at the end of a card or note means nothing to woman too thoughtless or too i'll bred to take five minutes for a reply. Such treatp1ent of a sG5Sal SsS2-tesy is an 0ffense gar ish enough to cause the offender s name to be struck from the social list of the hostess.
 The small courtesies of woman to woman are fully as important as those from man to woman, or woman to man.

TAX LIST, 1911

The Assessors of the City of Bridge port will meet at the Assessors Office, City Hall, on the first day of Septem- Der, and each week day thereafter. to and including the second day of Oe- ing the sworn lists of all persons lia- ble to pay taxes on personal property (nameIy, horses, wagons, automobiles, stock in stores, etc.), and real estate, in the City of Bridgeport, making a description of all real estate, each parcel being separately described Gin cluding street number). And if he or she shall neglect or refuse to do so, the Assessors shall fill out a list for him or her and add thereto ten per centum of its valuation.
 The attention of nonresident prop erty owners is called to the change in the law relating to the filing of their lists, as failure on their part to list their property during September, de- prfves them of the right of appeal to the Board of Relief.
 Special attention is called to Sec ton 23O3 of the Statutes, which states that each parcel of property must be separately and accurately bounded and described.
 Post Office address of each owner must be given.

Played See-SaW In Court As An
 Illustration

Bristol, Sept 2.-An unusual side show was afforded those who attend ed the session of the police court We'd neSday morning. The dignified air of the court room was put aside for sev- eral minutes while Mrs. Annie Ricardi was going through some stunts in front of the judge. She was charged with stealing a quantity of lumber from the G. J. La Coufse company, who are building an extensive addi- tion to Martin Loughlin's store on Main street. She was arrested on Tuesday after a quantity of lumber valued at $5 was found in her house at Highland count, near where the building operations are going on.
 The woman could not talk English but she told the court through an in- terpreter that the boards were taken by boys and left near her house She tried to illustrate to the court why the boys took the boards, which turn ed out to be because they wanted some to play '"see saw with. In or der to show the judge how the trick was done the woman got into the game herself and illustrated the per- formance.
 She was holding a 6-months-ol old baby in her arms at the time, but handing the infant over to Court In- terpreter Ralph Carpenter, Mrs. Ri- cardi, who is a young looking Italian woman, took a chair, placed it in front of the judge, walked over to where the exhibit of stolen lumber lay on the floor, picked up a 12 foot plank and put it across the chair. Then gath ering up her skirt she straddled across one end of the board and commenced to "see saw up and down, showing Judge Peck what the boys did with the boards.
 
 Everybody was convulsed with laughter by this time and Judge Peck was one of the most amused persons in the court room.
 Policeman Breshnahan said he saw the woman go to the lumber yard three different times, once as early as o'clock in the morning, to get plank and lumber. Judge Peck did not be lieve the woman's story, and he inn posed fine of $7 and costs, amounting to S14, which she paid during the day.

|GOOD WORK OF OUR
 REPRESENTATIVE

Bridgeport may feel proud of her delegation in the House this year. They have labored hard for a very large number of good measures. Nor is the commendation concerned with laws which are largely in the public eye The conscientious devotion to duty has been extended to many small matters, which have almost escaped attention. The bill prevent ing extortion by money lenders is case in point. This bill has been piloted through both houses by Rep resentative Meltzer, who drew it, and will be signed by the governor. An other measure of interest throughout the state is that requiring trolley companies to bear an equitable share of the cost of new bridges which they are to use in common with other traffic. This bill was introduced by Representative Bent, who devoted much time to impressing it's merits on others. The Governor is favorably inclined toward the bill. It will have the effect of arming the city in it's negotiations with the Connecticut company, regarding the construction of future bridges. Instead of a pal try $30,00O, which was reluctantly paid toward the construction of the Congress street bridge, the city will be entitled in future to a payment equal to the strain that the trolIeys will put upon the bridge to be built, measured by the strain of the total traffic.

THE TROLLEY BILL DEFEAT

The defeat of the Shelton Bridgeport trolley line was plainly a victory for
 the railroad lobby which opposed that measure, reversed the original view of the railroad committee and finally se- cured its rejection in the Senate The Senate voted against it even after Sen- ator Judson had given that body the credit of not wearing the railroads collar, a vote which seems to call for a reversal of his finding, notwithstand- ing that it was made at the close, ,rath- CT than the beginning of the session. To MT. Judson. however, we are in- clined to give credit for some very potent, independent work in behalf of this measure, and we only regret that he could not have been encouraged for similar endeavor in the future in be- half of the people, by the enactment Of the bill into a law.
 Had the bill been passed, we have little doubt but the governor would have signed it and that the. road would have been constructed, promptly, in accordance with the pledges of the They have the reputation of standing by their word in large affairs of this kind as well as in smaller undertak- ings, and they had gone far enough in their plans, we are told, to give every credence that their pledges would have O06n made SOOQ. We are COnVlHcSu that Huntington's representatives would not have worked for the pass age of this measure with the vigor they did, had they not been reasonably sure they were backing needed, ,legit>s innate project, of importance to the public.
 But even in the defeat of the bill, there is an eye-opener for the rail- road. Out of the arguments which have been brought forward for the new line. and out of the determina- ton of the thoroughly reliable citizens who have fought for an important sec tion officials of the company must be able to see to what extent d1ssatisfac- tion reigns and what a large number are clamoring for an easy and quick way of travelling from isolated farming sections to shopping centersA of recog- nized importance. The measure which was lost this year by only small will be even more powerfully backed two years hence, especially if the present trolley accommodations are not reasonably improved.-An- sonia Sentinel.

pledge not to do anything. But promise to give a practical business administration" is anything that it happens to be.
 Here is an evasion which is at such a radical disagreement with the Sem ator's usual frankness, as to create the impression that he is the victim of the interviewer, but since he has not denied the utterance, it must be attributed to him. This is the state ment:
 "Oh,'' he added, eff my friends be- lieve all that the Bridgeport Farmer says in reporting Senator Spellacy'S s speech, that may have its effect. All want to say about that now is that House Bill No. S6 was the personal tax bill It was introduced by MT. Atkin of Torrington. I did not in- troduce the bill and I did not sup port it in committee"
 Nobody knows what Mr. Arnold did in committee. AS chairman of the committee he reported the personal tax bill upon a favorable report. urged it's passage in the Senate and 1t was passed. His opposition did not lead him to make a report adverse to the personal tax nor to oppose the tax on the floor of the Senate. On the floor of the Senate, and with his colleague, Senator Manwaring, voted for it and it became law. The inn plication that the Farmer printed something on the former senator's atti- tude that was not true is entirely un- warranted and inexcusable. If the Arnold should claim the credit. If it is a bad bill he should admit his error. Nothing can be gained by evading responsibility.
 < Here is another evasion. The in terviewer, said:~ s.se
 Speaking of politicians, do you ex- pect to receive support from the same sources as you did two years ago?"
 Well I can't answer that exactly, but if by carrying out every pledge and promise of the party platform as a senator has offended my friends why I can't expect their support" The support referred to is that of a group of men who are under pay by wealthy interests as legislative agents. MT. Arnold does not say, ''These were my friends and stand with my friends" He does not even say, These are for me, but I am not for them" Yet a candid answer was needed.
 About one thing Former Senator Arnold is clear He says he believes that corporations should not pay their fair share of the taxes.
 This is his language:
 we occasionally hear from indi- viduals that the manufa cturerS are being favored on taxation, and that the burden is shifted upon the small home owner. Well this line of talk may have it's effect for immediate purposes but it is not lasting, it will not wear we'll For this reason, with out the effort to induce corporations or manufa cturerS to locate in our cities with assurances. that the taxes are reasonable and that the firm terments in the locality they select, where would the property owner find himself? Our manufacturers are the life. of our city. We must be liberal"
 But the tax is upon the home own CT. and Former Senator Arnold wants it to stay there and if he became mayor he would help to keep it there.

FoRdER SENATOR ARNOLD
 AND THE PERSONAL TAX.

Is there something in the, nature ,f seeking office that changes the dispositions of men who seek it. AL most would the statement by Former Senator Thomas Arnold. in which he announces his candidacy for mayor, give this impression. Aforetime Sen .ator Arnold was recognized as can did man. His views were usually obtainable for the asking, upon prop ar occasions, and were given without hedging or evasion and hence were of assistance to others. But his may oral ambitions are expressed in the language that eharacterizess political uncertainty and that is the hall mark of desire to be all things to all men, There never was a mayor, or candidate for mayor who did not make his strong card a promise "to give the city a practical business ad- rninistration,' a sentence that. means nothing whatever. that comDflssno noth- ing whatever and conveys nc infor- nation whatever as to the kind of an administration that will a.ctSelIy be s.:-1.

THE MORRIS SLOGAN.

Harbor Master Morris should be complimented by the invitation of the Progressive Republicans to be their candidate. Their request is a mark of approval of which any man might be proud. The progressive element in the Republican party is the most vital and the most full of promise for the future. Its representatives were the only ones who survived the last national election, the Republican regulars of the Aldrich type, nearly everywhere failing of reelection to the Congress. The word progressive does not fully describe the nature of the movement which has became so powerful within the Republican par ty. It is protest against the domi- nation of politics by special privilege
 It is an objection to high prices, a de- mand that the nation shall be run for the benefit of the people rather than for the benefit of the combinations
 In Bridgeport the movement appears especially to mean that Republicans resent the conduct of their party by a close corporation consisting of 19 del- egates and a town chairman super vised by several gentlemen engaged in the business of procuring legisla- ton satisfactory to certain monopo- lies or of summarily clubbing out of existence any legislation that is not of the right kind. The harbor mas ter is invited to a bitter fight. He is tEc>a =ean to see it through, if anybody is. \

THE PEOPLES ADVOCATE

tribute which both houses of the Legislature paid Senator Jeremiah Donovan in voting to .i.repress the Norwalk bridge bfh despite the veto of Governor Simeon E. Baldwin. It is exceedingly doubtful if the bill . could have withstood the disapproval of the executive were it not for the respect and confidence reposed in the senator from the 18th by the legis- lators of both houses. State aid for bridges that are compelled to. bear the burden of, trunk line traffic be- came a debatable question with the governor of the state on one score and the senator from the 18th on the other. The General Assembly A Ii listen ed to the arguments by the two distinguished advocates of the respective views and decided over wheimingly r1ff favor1 ofsstne conten- ton of the senator. When one pauses to reflect that both branches of the General Assembly contain, men of . hard strong sense who are not easily moved by appeals to passion it $ highly creditable to the view taken
 by Senator Donovan that he should win out so decisively. The vote h favor of the act in the Senate was much larger than anticipated. In the House it was even more of a sur prise. The best lawyers in the House were against the governor in his view. Every Democratic member from Fairfield county said the bill was just in principle and should become a law, the veto of the governor to the contrary notwithstanding. For mer Mayor Thoms of Waterbury. capable lawyer and a splendid legis- lator. was against the veto. The rank and file of both bodies have come to look upon any measure whffh r has Donovan's sanction as worthy of pas sage. This is largely due to his in- comparabie record as legislator. He fs in no job; not even those in which his friends may have a keen interest. He is straightforward and frank and neither deceives nor attempts to de- ceive any one. He will enter into no trades to secure a temporary advan- tage nor can he be counted on to fa- vor any log rolling scheme. aT He is ever alert constant and watchful for the interests of all of the people, not portion of the time but all oof the time. His legislative record is marked by no absent days and he IS in his seat whenever any bill of lm- Tportance is being, discusssed. He is unquestionably today one of the most influential legislators at the state house. Those who used to regard him as a joke and his outpourings against corruption ands fayoritism as vaporings of a diseased mind now come to listen with respectful atten- ton. Of course he is still dan cerous demagogue' with the lobby lSt, put tneTe IS hot d AiShe' -iiAihuS~ Iesislator at Hartford who will not take off his hat to him. These men know where he stands and they know that he supports nothing that is tains- ed even with suspicion of wrong. When the history of Connecticut leg islatures is written, if the historian is ,nbiased and is concerned only with truth. the name of Jeremiah Donovan will loom up large. It will hardly be cvershadowed by any other we can now bring sto mind.
