PISCATORY MISSING LINK

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The museum
of natural history has just received
from Cambua, West Africa, the sec
ond living specimen of lung fish ever
transported to the United States. A
block of earth which enclosed the fish
had a small tunnel-like opening, an
air cell for the dorman lung fish.
The lung fish, which had both
double lungs and gills. is considered
an excellent instance of the survival
Of a race OF animals from the early

not seek to push himself TO the front
in the important Organization work
which is being projected.
Progressive party leaders point out
that although the accomplished won

short time, still there were many
weak spots. These weak spots they
want to strengthen. The fact that
they carried the great city of Chicago
lis source of the utmost encourage

ions why they plan to have Illinois

that the Progressive leaders can bet

At the Chicago conference there

of the new party. 1t will relate to just
how radical the politics of the Bull

One difficulty in the way of advane-
ing with the Progressive party move
ment is the efforts of Progressive
Republicans to reorganize the Repub-
lican party and rehabilitate it. An at
tempt will be made to rally around
La Toilette, it is expected. An effort
also is expected to rally around Sen
ator Cummings. Governor Hadley
seems to bear resemblance to man
who would not be averse to becoming

Then, nobody knows what the
Democratic party is going to do. 1t
will be easy or hard to promote the
Progressive party movement depend
ing on whether Woodrow Wilson gives
the country a genuinely progressive
administration or whether he does
not. II he falls into reactionary
hands, it will be easy. If he steals all
the wearing apparel of the Progress
siye party and runs away with it, the
effect on the Progressive party move
ment will be obvious. However,
Progressive party leaders are going
ahead on the belief there is going to
be ample room for their party, and
for its development. and ample call
from the country for the Bull Moose.

EAST SIDE SALOON MAN HELD UNDER
 BAIL OF Sl,OO0

A large part of the morning ses- sion of the city court, before Judge Carl Foster, was devoted to hearing the case of Samuel Aurillio, the keep CT of a saloon at 131 Willard street, charged jointly with Thomas Mara condo, with committing a breach of the peace with assault upon Joseph Lisofski and William Thomas, against whom charges of breach of peace were also made by the officers.
 The arrests were the result of an alleged act of gambling in which Aur- ct the instiga tion of the proprietor pr through ilI-feeling on the part of nu- merous other hangers-on around the saloon, the two Polish speaking citi- zens, Lisofsik, 24 years old 54 Church street. and Thomas, 34 Church street, claimed to have been set upon by the defendants and beaten and cut in the scrimmage which ensued. Lisofski, stabbed in the arm, attempted conceal nent behind a woman witness upon a nearby porch, but was thrust out to man. who feared to become impIlcat- ed herself. Maraconda showed a large abrasion of the forehead which he aIlaged was caused by a stick 1ii the hands of Lisofski.
 After Auri1Iio had been warned by the court to refrain from using pro- fane language in the court room, Pros ecutor Delaney read a record detah- ing many cutting and stabbing affrays which emana,ted from the saloon run by the defendant at 131 Willard street, and stated it bore the worst reputa- ton ever sustained by a similar place in Bridgeport.
 In his finding Judge Foster dismiss ed the charge of assault against Mara condo, fning each of the prisoners s and costs upon a breach e the peace, with the exception of Aurilllo, in whose case he found probable cause, binding him over for action by the SuperiOr court under bonds of S1.000.

Letter to Henry AtWater.
 BridpeDOPt!

Dear Sir: One of the ways to get rich is to make a quarter look like thirty cents.
 There's a better: make it thirty cents. It has this advantages: one keeps out of jail.
 There are 200 paint-manufact cturers making quarters look like 30 40 50 50 cents and all the odd cents between That is, their paints profess to be paints; and they are, in about the proportions named: they get 30 to 60 cents for a quarters 's-worth; some get 75.
 E There's a better way to paint: De- voc. There are eight honest paints. By honest" we mean not-adulterat- ed and fu1I-measure. These honest ones differ; no two are alike. In one. the quarter is worth 27 2S cents; in another, 30 cents; there must be a, best one in eight; it is the one that takes least gallons to cover job DeVoe.
 To cover; that seems a light way to speak of a paint. No, it isn'e That is what paint is for: to cover It means to hide and protect. The paint that goes furthest is best, wears longest. Go-far is all; and Devoe is the go-far paint.
