Thirty years ago, or so, wealthy
New York city man bequeathed his
native New England town a hand
some sum for the establishment OF
a free high school to bear his
name. In the settlement OF his es-
tate litigation developed and the
value of his bequest to the town OF
his birth became an uncertainty.
Discussion of the situation in town
meeting resulted in the selection of
a committee of three to go to New
York and retain the late Hon. VIII
liam NJ Evarts, who will be remem-
bered as having his country resi-
dence in Windsor, this state, during
may years, to look after the towns
interest.
The committee selected comprised
a judge of the supreme court, a con
gresham and an eX-cOngTessmdn.
Arrived in New York, these dignitar-
les interviewed Mr. Evarts. the judge
introducing his fellow members, and
also himself, by the various titles to
which they had the right. After the
business of their call was over Mr.
Evarts said to them:

call from such distinguished citi-

state Option" Defeated.

There will be little disposition on
the part of sincere and broad-minded
workers in the cause of temperance
to criticise adversely the action of
the House of Representative yester-
day in defeating what is commonly
known as the State option bill. The
measure was not one that made any
appeal to those who desire to com
bat the evil of the saloon but who be-
lieve the fight should be waged open
ly and by direct methods and not by
indirection.
This bill provided for a double
vote on the question of granting liz
uor licenses to be taken at the an
nual town meetings. By one ballot
a citizen would declare his prefer
ence on the question of granting Ii
censes in the State and by another
on the question of granting licenses
in the town in which he was a voter
The result of the vote on the ques-
tion OF granting licenses in the State
was to be certified by town clerks to
the secretary of State whose duty il
would be to determine the number of
votes for and against license cast in
the State and within twenty days af-
ter the taking of the vote notify each
town of the total number cast for
and against. Should a majority on
the first question, that is as to
granting licenses in the State be in
the affirmative licenses might be is
sued in such towns as gave a MAORI
ty for license in voting on the second
question. IT, however "a majority of
votes in the entire State on the first
question was against license no Ii
cense could be granted within the
State except those of the fifth class.
1t requires no particular keenness
to perceive the such a measure was
a direct blow at the principle of
home rule. 1t was an attempt TO ac-
complish by a devious method an end
that if desirable, should have been
sought by straightforward means. To
those who devised it and endeavored
to bring about its enactment it may
be said that they erred grievously in
adopting such a tortuous method.
There can be an honest difference
of opinion as to the wisdom of local
option but that does not justify such
efforts as have just been made to
destroy it by indirection. If these
ill-advised advocates of temperance
legislation feel that the local option
system is harmful let them put that
issue squarely up to the people to
decide. No other method will win
very general support or create any
lasting feeling of confidence in their
propaganda-M Journal.

There is nothing in the world will in
duce a chameleon to take even the
slightest apparent interest in its sur
roundings unless it be the sight of
what it considers a toOthsome insect.
The chameleon's method of taking its
prey is very curious, being effected b.
shooting out an enormously long,
wormlike tongue, the end OF which is
dubbed and covered with viscid Sc
cretion to which the insects stick and
are thus drawn into its mouth. The ac-
tual projection of the tongue is made
with marvellous rapidity. The eyes Of
the chameleon are very curious. They
are very largo. but, with the exception
of small opening in the center are
covered with skin. They are also en-
tirely Independent of each other, with

ture is looking forward over its nose
