Shipping Interest.

British shipbuilders say that it is almost impossible at present to obtain a contract for the construction of a steamer to show a profit, as unless prices are cut very low the owners say that they will wait until prices come down, or try and secure a second~ hand vessel.
 Expenditure of 20,0OO,O0O by Con- gress to complete the inland water way between Boston and Beaufort, Me. has been recommended by general board of army engineers. It is pro posed to construct a 12-foot canal. 90 feet wide, with an increase later to sea level canal 25 feet deep.

 In his report on the trade of Japan for the past year the British Com mercial attache at Tollio states that one of the most interesting features has been the business In steamships, not so much of the extraordinary large increase. but because of the attitude adopted by the Japanese authorities in the Kwantung leased territory, which permits ships obtainable the IlSHt to ny lhe JdPdd0S5 nag dhd eh- toying nearly all the privileges of or dinary Japanese steamers, while they escape the payment of high import duty-Darien and Port Arthur being free ports.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The whole oak tree is in the acorn and the whole man is iR the child All that is done te him, to help eF hind CT hm is of value CT harm to hiFa ac cording te the degree to which he uses it and incorporates it into his will words and works.
 We marvel why two children grow ing side by side in the same family school and society become the one strong and good. the other weak and bad. But it is no greater mystery than why of two plants in the same soil one will transnute muck into white lilies and the other into red roses. The principal study in the schooIroom should be by the teacher to learn and guide the child's activi- ties. The chief moral help a child gets in the home is what he is inspired to do; what he is told not to do has little to do with making character

The construction of the Jewett City road in Lisbon is being pushed rap idly along, but it will probably be two months before the five mile stretch is completed. This is a gravel road. This has been a stretch of road which driv- CTS have eXecrated in times past, and it will be a great relief to the travel ing public to have it put in such shape as is contemplated There has been much cutting and filling to do in many spots, and this has been done accord ing to the best modem methods by the use of the steam shovel, which ac- complisEes a great amount of work in a day.
 The Jewett City-Flainfield road through Griswold is practically finish ed Two miles of this is of gravel and the other mile is maca dam.
 Tn the town of Norwich the Occum road is about completed, Here a mile of the road is macadaTn and a mile and a half gravel.
 Bids have been submitted for the construction of a mile of road in Vol untown, but the contract has not as yet been awarded, Next week bids will be received for the construction of a piece of road in Voluntown, and also for a stretch on the Lebanon road in Franklin.
 When all tine work Tn hand has been completed considerable will have been accomplished towards improving the principal highways in this section.

GUILTY ON ONE COUNT IS PLEA
Made By William Henry Dennis Charge of Wife Abandon ment For Another Woman-Sentences For Pisceno and Dinetrio Trial of Rubey Parker on Charge of At tempted Arson Begun.

Just as the superior court was about to adjourn here on Friday aft ernoon for the week, States Attorney Hull informed Judge Gardiner Greene that he had a matter that he wished to bring before the court and he told the judge that William Henry Den his was ready to change his plea. He was accused on two counts of abandon ing his wife and living with another woman.
 Attorney Albert J. Bailey who has been counsel for MT. Dennis, had been in conference with him an dwith the states attorney during the day and when MT. Dennis was put to plea he pleaded guilty to the second count in the charge. States Attorney Hull said he would defer asking for sen tence until later.
 Previously when presented, MT Den his had pleaded not guilty to the charge made against him. The charge to which he now pleads guilty is that of abandoning his wife and living in New York with woman named Vivian Campbell alias Mrs St. Dem is.
 Mr. Dennis was formerly from Yam tic and is a carriage painter by occu- patton and said to be an expert at the business. He married a Norwich woman but deserted her and the fam fly of children. and from evidence which the police have pieced together, it is said. he lived for a time in Bos- ton with a woman who is now in West erly, but he deserted her without mar rying her. The first count against him was for abandoning his wife and liv- ing with Loretta Davis of Boston.
 According to information secured by the state police, who arrested him in New York, 1t is believed thaG he was married to the woman with whom he lived there. Prosecuting Attorney Hall who prosecuted the case when Mir. Dennis was presented in the Norwich city court said Thursday that it was understood that Mr. Dennis was mar ried to one of the women with whom he lived after he deserted his wife.
 In the morning session of court Mike Dimerio, alias Michael Angelo Niezieni, of New London pleaded guilty to the charge of assault with intent to kill and highway robbery on Melville Ma son of Mantle and William Messenger of New London in Mantle Aug of last year He was given from five to ten years in state prison.
 Dimerio was one of d quartette of Italians who on Sunday. Aug. 4, 1912, held up Mason and Messenger In Mantle while the latter were driving to the station about o'clock to get Sunday papers.
 Later in the day three of the quar- Dimerio made his escape by reason of

the uncertainty of the number of men concerned in the holdup.
 Dimerio was later connected with the holdup and he was traced to New York, where two attempts to arrest him failed. The third time ne was arrested by New York police at the instigation of two state policemen and extradited to this state and bound over to the higher court.
 Pisceno Goes to Prison.
 After disposing of the Dimerio ease Judge Greene pronounced sentence on John Pisceno of Groton, whose trial was finished late Thursday afternoon, and against whom the jury returned verdict of guilty on two counts after the case had been in their hands 30 minutes. He was given from four to live years on the first count and four years on the second.
 There were two counts in the accu- sation against Pisceno. one because of hls attack on Mike Scarrano and the other upon Albert c. Rivers, the Plant poultry farm manager. In both of the assaults a revolver was used and upon both counts he was charged with as sault with intent to kill and murder. The jury found him guilty of the lesser degree of assault, that of intent to kill.
 For Attempt at Arson.
 About 1920 o'clock the states attor ney called up the case of the state vs. Rubey Parker, a grocer of East Lyme, whose arrest on the charge of arson astonished his neighbors when it oc- cured. The information against MT. Parker charged him with attempted arson on June 9 in setting fire to a barn owned by Israel Wilensky.
 The charge had been arson but the states attorney changed 1t to attempt darson when he found that the barn had only been slightly scorched. The fire was started in a bastment part of the barn.
 MT. Parker pleaded not guilty. He is defended by Judge Bush and At torneys Geary and Boyer.
 Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher was the first witness when court came in in the afternoon. He explained a large map of the location of the prop erty and also ten photographs that he had taken. The questioning of the attorneys for both sides was much along the line of whether a view of the barn and the immediate surround ings to the south could be had from the house which is shown on the road. MT Pitcher gave it as his opinion that some apple trees and an inter vening rise of land would largely cut off the view.
 Court adjourned at 4.35 and he is to take some more photographs. ac- State Policeman Downing was with graphs on September 4th.

It is the habit of the blackcock to strut and fight with his rivals in an open arena, while the gray hens sit round as queens of the tournament.

 There was a hermit in the center of London only a few years ago, according to the London Chronicle. His hermit age consisted of a cellar-the sole yes tige of a house in Clare market pulled down and forgotten by it's owners He lived there for a long time, supported by scraps of food from the tradesmen of the neighborhood. and might have lived there longer still if a journalist had not discovered him.
