PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC, TWO YEARS OLD, IS NOW
 WE'LL ESTABLISHED

It was two years ago today that the stage was set for what proved to be one of the quickest, most thorough and successful revolutions in the history of the world. In the twinkling of an eye the Portuguese throne was over turned and King Manuel and his roy aiist adherents fled for their lives to England, that refuge alike of mon archS and anarchists. Tomorrow the republicans of Portugal-noW large proportion of the total population-will celebrate the second anniversary of the proclamation of the republic. Re- cent attempts of the roya1fsts to re- gain control have but strengthened the government of President Manuel de Arriaga and the republic now the northern part of the country has any considerable part of the popula- tion remained loyal to the old regime, and even these have become discour- aged by the futile raids of Capt. Cou- ceiro, who, at the head of a. band of mercenaries adventurers and royal surrection was quickly put down by the republican troops, who showed themselves vastly superior to the roy alists, and the victory for the gov ernrnent arms was complete
 The roya1ist invasion also afforded the government an excuse for deport- ing many monarchist cIergymen. Owl ing to the anti-religious attitude of the republican officials, practically all of the representatives of the church have favored the restoration of Man uel to the throne. The. governme has retaliated by wholesale banish- ment of the religionists. Like most revolutionists, the republican leaders in Portugal were practically all free thinkers and atheists, and A1fOnse Costa asserted two years ago that within two years he would have up rooted Christianity from e Portugal That period expires today, and while the prediction has not come true in it's entirety, it is certain that Chris tianity is very much on the wane in Portugal. The republican newspa pers which includes all the important journals of Lisbon ana other large cities-indulge in frequent and bitter attacks on Christianity, which they describe as gross superstition. ' The teaching of science has replaced. that of religion in the schools, all the institutions of learning formerly con ducted by the Catholic church in Port uga1 have been seized, and the new generation that is growing up knows neither God nor Manuel. In some of the text books used in the Portuguese schools Christianity is described as an ''outworn superstition" and the existt- ance of a Diety. while not denied, is alleged to be ''unknowable'
 The strike Of the employees or the Lisbon Traction system, owned by Scotch capitalists, has been one of the most serious matters the government

FIRE DRILLS TO BE ADOPTED BY LOCAL
 MANUFACTURERS

State Factory Inspector George l.. Mclean proposes to interest local raanufa cturers in the plan of factory fire drills This is in line with a gen era1- campaign conducted throughout the state and several deputies have lteen appointed by MT Mclean to work up interest in the plan in the different cities and towns. William Ainsiey of this city is one of the de- putieS He is at present working along this line in New Haven but will begin the local campaign the last part of this week
 At a demonstration drill at the New Haven car works yesterday, where ia the factory was gotten out of the shop. the fire doors were closed and all the valuable papers were taken care of, within two minutes. The demonstration worked so well as TO make the drill a permanent thing in the shop and other manufacture rerS of New Haven have taken hold of the project with zeal. There is nothing compulsory about the plan but the rs1arufa cturers seem universally will ing to adopt it.
 The RirdSey- -SOmerS corset plant of this city has had the fire drill in operation for some time past and has perfected a system which works splen- CTS have taken hold of the plan and it is MT. Ainsley's aim to get it adopt ed by all the plants in the city MT.

REVIEWS

RUM IN STAMFORD
(Middletown Sum-

It is unfortunate for Stratford that in the opinion of many of it's inhabi- tants, one of it's foremost citizens is believed to be secretly interested in a drug store at the center of the town which is in reality rum hole. This shop has done more to dem oraIize the town, and ruin it's young men, than even Capt. Bonds famous place, which has just been raided. There is a back entrance to this famous shop, a narrow passage way, which is well trodden by stream of men about the town who visit the back store to get a drink. All the people in Stratford know the facts but thus far they are, or have been, at the mercy of the big attorney with the soI1orous voice, who rules the town meetings and defeats all attempts to abate the nuisance. More than one man has had to be sent to Middletown a result of in temperance. Another man in this same Stratford is rather too fond of hard cider, and when he takes an overdose he breaks out at caucuses and town meetings setting all the peo- pie by the ears. It is a farce which the town has endured too long. Just now he swears that he will go for the big sonorous attorney, and get him. When rogues fall out it is possible honest temperance men may gain their rights.

An interesting display of Sectional Bookcases is in OUT Furniture Store at present Those persons "who are build ing homes are strongly re quested to call and see the practical demonstration Of the G1obe-Wernicke Book Units" as the separate sec tions are called, with the tops and bases that accompany them. You may house more books in small space with this method than with any other. It IS the most con venient and in the long run the most economical. When you are obliged to move, your cases containing the books are transferred intact without any trouble of pack ing.

THE WISE MANS INSISTED.

The way of the Wisest Man in the World is beset with trouble. When he attempts to ram Republican tariff doctrines down the threats of Bridgeport factory employees they drown the sound of his sonorous voice in shriI cries of We want Robert Hunter"

UP GOES COAL.
1Ansonia sentineI.l

(Ansonia SentineL)
 Eight dollars a ton is being charged for coal in Norwa1k and in Hartford and in several other cities around the state-or a dollar more than was charged last spring, and -s1.50 more than was charged in some of these cities a year ago. At the time of the strike, last spring, it was figured out that an increase of ten cents a ton would pay the increased wages grant ed to the miners. Who, then, Is pocketing the rest of the money? Ev- idently, the operators, the railroads, the nidd1erpen and all of the rest who have grip the situation have come in for increases also, not of 10 cents ton but considerably more, The consumer feels the pinch
 The coal barons say there is pIen- ty of coda surplus of 500.0OO tons, but the retailers claim they cannot get it fast enough to fill orders. The New York Sun says: Fears of a shortage and consequent strike prices seem entirely unjustifed- There is no reason to suppose that any con sumner who refuses to pay an abnor- maI price for coal will fail to get a supply at a normal figure. The fact that the mines are producing enough coal to satisfy the need should re- move all anxiety
