Says Evelyn Is Really
 Remarkable Woman

.'EveTyn Nesbit Thaw, the wife of Harry K Thaw is, in my belief, a much misunderstood as well as a re- nnarkabIe woman Thus spoke Chas. DeIand, at the Hotel Stratf1eId yes- terday. t.I knew her when she first went on the stage. first saw her re- hearsing for her part as the flower girl in the FIoradora Sextette when I was playing the part of Tweedle- punch in the original production. Old man Fischer came across the stage wit ha little Hedging of a girl, pretty and dainty. She was accompanied by her. mother. Under MT Ffscher's direction she kept the part assigned to her and displayed much grace. I have seen her since and but recently at the New York theatre where she fsl now appearing She has 1ost~none of that youthful spirit and looks and is indeed an artistic dancer. I am firmly convinced that a very errone- ous impression exists as to her, as art is foremost in her thoughts. I do not believe that she is appreciat- ed by her husband who is said to seek to keep her from the stage"
 MT. Deland, himself an actor of note, having created parts in the .Deacon's Daughter,'' as well as having been seen in the part now taken by Frank Worthing in Naughty Anthony is now upon the vaudeville stage where he is eminent in tabloid comedy. He is appearing at present in a one act comedy written by himself en- titled 'On the F,ire-escape.'' In this screaming farce he is assisted by Mary Carr The piece opened a successful three days engagement at Polls thea Ire yesterday.

ARMOR BIDS FAIL
Secretary Daniels Rejects Those Of Three Companies Because
 They Are Identical

Washington, Aug. 29-Secretary Dan ieIs has awarded contracts approxi- mating $1,OS7, ,445 to the Carnegie Steel company, J. B. Kendall company and the Carbon Steel company for mater iaIs for batt1eship 39, building at the New York navy yard.
 After a conference yesterday with representatives of the Carnegie, Beth lehem and Midva1e Steel companies, Secre etary Daniels rejected all their bids for arn1or plate for the same bat tleship. All were identical on all classes, as well identical with sim liar bids submitted by the same com panies for armor plate for the battle ship Pennsylvania.
 Secretary Daniels, who expressed a desire to know by what process of mental telepathy'' the three conpan- ies had arrived at identical figures in all classes on two occasions, was told by their representa- tives that there was no agreement understanding among the companies and that they did not know until the bids were opened that they were Identical.
 stThey contend said the secretary, I%that 1nasmuch as the navy depart nnent some years ago divided three contracts equally among these three concerns when their bids were not identical, the destruction of competi- tive bidding was due to the depart ment and not chargeable to them. The policy seems to have been that, if the three companies bid different amounts the department would send for repre- sentatives of the three concerns and divide the contract equally among them on the basis of the lowest bid. Naturally this destroyed real competi- ton and the cost of armor plate grad ually increased until no really com petitive bids were submitted at all.''
 Secretary Daniels requested the rep resentatives of the three companies to send him a detailed statement show ing the actual cost of the manufacture of armor per ton. No action toward awarding the contracts is likely until these statements have been received and studied. MT. Daniels said he might then ask for conference with the heads of the companies and might visit their plants.

PRoGREssIvEs BEeIcg FR.Ay

PROGlRESSIVES BEGIN FRAY.
 The Progressive party committee oe Newtown held a meeting Tuesday and decided to nominate a full ticket for the town election, as recommends by State Committeeman E. c. Birge of Westport They claim to hold the bal ance of power in the town, and pro- pose to draw their candidates from the three leading parties in town, placin g only such Democrats and Republicans on their ticket as have expressed Pro- gresstve tendencies Tn this way they believe they can emphasize their party autonomy, and to large extent direct the selections of candidates by the two old parties. In any event, either by direct nomination or endorsement they propose to continue factor in the po- liticaI field of Newtown in the direc- ton of the Square Deal.
 GLEN HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS
 A. J. Gallagher is making decided im- provements to his property in Rocky Glen. A force of a dozen men are en- gagged in building a, concrete wall from bedrock on the Pohtatuck along the boundary line of the property some thirty feet high to level wf4h the street. The precipitous banks.swill be filled in and thus will be gained a strip 20 feet wide the whole length in the rear of this popular hostelry Besides permitting addition to the hotel when needed it will give access for teams to load and unload in the yard instead of by the narrow street in front, as now done. That clever handy man, J. Jacobson, has the job well in hand, and expects to finish in about two weeks All the men on the work are townspeople, and MT. Gallagher is to be commended for his civic thought fitness in giving out this contract so the money will be of benefit to our people, instead of being carried out of town, as it would be, if some out-of- 1own contractor had the job. Besides the improvement is being done by days work and under the direct supervision of the proprietor, who is building for the future as well as the present. It does not take a far-seeing eye to dis 1 cern that the Glen House will stand at the entrance of the model village which will grow up on the plain below when the Connecticut Light and Pow CT Co. builds it's dams across the Hou- satonic; and this hotel will grow with the growth of this model village.

''The oldest boy broke out with eczema in the worst form, starting with rash on the face when about two months old. Then sores cOrnmenced behind the ears, then the rash broke into sores all over his face. Dur ing the day it would dry up and form scabs, later in the day a watery substance would ooze out and commence itching. During the night he would scratch and in the morn ing his face would be all raw. His hands, n1ghtgown and pillow were covered with blood. I had to make bags out of flannel to put on his hands and put a hood on his head I then started using Cuticura Reme- dies. From then on the face started to heal and kept at it until he was cured" (6igned) Mrs. G. Karcher, Feb. Is, 1913.

LIMIT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY
Person Is Free Moral Agent Where
Exercise of Privilege Does Not
Conflict With Laws.
By C. N. HASKELL, Former Governor
Of Oklahoma)

CBy C. N. HASKELL, Former Governor
of Oklahoma)
The liquorites, in pleading for q
right to carry on the liquor business,
cay that the person is free moral
agent" and such privilege Is guaran-
teed by the constitution OF our land.
Yes, grant it, when the exercise OF
that privilege is not in conflict with
the public welfare.
Two adult citizens possessed of
money are not permitted to take a
deck of cards, engage in a gambling
game with their own money, their own
cards and their own time. Why? Be-
cause the law has decreed that it is
destructive to the moral tone of the
community.
Two young men engage in prize
fight. 1t is their own fists they are
using; they are both of age, but the
law has decided that the welfare of
the community cries out against brutal
sport.
We have gone farther, and have
said that open selling of poisonous
drugs shall be prohibited by law. We
say that a citizen may not purchase
bottle Of carbolic acid and drink it;
we deny him that privilege. Why?
If he is bound to kill himself he might
as we'll do it in five minutes with
carbolic acid as in FIVE years with
whisky in fact, ! favor the carbolic
acid route
We have laws that say that certain
kinfolk shall not marry. Think Of in
vading this privilege of the citizen!
For the welfare Of the public the
law has gone farther 1t has entered
your home. 1t has taken the control
Of the minor child away from it's
father, and has said, You must edu-
cate him" 1t prescribes compulsory
education of the children that belong
to the father, are under his roof for
support, and under his control in their
infancy
In nearly every state in the United
States the law takes from the father
and the mother the right to control
the labor of children and provides a
code of laws which shall re&.late child
labor.
Do you people who az sA$esoubt as
to whether prohibition u 1arhterfer-
ence with private rights realize how
extensively you have already invaded
the private rights in the TGAfof
the public welfare? And yet, there is
one great evil-the liquor traffic
which remains. In localities it is IN
subjection. But that Is not enough;
1t must be conquered.

HAY GAPS FOR ALFALFA.

Alfalfa should be raked and either
put in the barn or II it is not sufficient
ly dry, put into hay cocks. 1t is mat
ter Of economy to have two or three
hundred hay caps (made Of six-cent
cloth one yard square) to use in case
Of bad weather. You may think this
is considerable bother, but poor al
falfa is poor stuff, and when we re-
member that good alfalfa brings US in
actual results nearly as great returns
as wheat bran, we can better realize
the importance Of taking care of 1t.
If any Of us had SOC "hay cocks of
bran" in the field, we would take care
of them, but with alfalfa we think of
it as lust hay"
These cloths may have wooden pegs
or some sort of weights attached to
each corner to hold them in place; the
pegs can be pushed into the hay to
hold the corners fast. Hay caps will
soon pay for themselves in finer
quality Of hay guaranteed ny their
use.

MAMMOTH TRUST IN WHISKY
Principle Upon Which Saloon Is Built
Is to Secure New Recruits
Levies Immense Toll.

The most dangerous principle upon
which the saloon is built is this. 1t
is not fashioned to supply the de-
mands of men whose passion for
liquor has been developed, but, with
the cunning which only the lust for
money can inspire, it Is fashioned to
teach new generation to drink. The
saloon system is the recruiting sta
tion of the whisky trust and brewery
combine Under the law Of life, the
men already enlisted in the army Of
drink will be dead within the limit Of
twenty years. The slogan Of the sa-
loon is, New recruits! New re-
cruits!" AS hundred thousand men
drop out of the ranks, hundred
thousand new recruits are made.
Never a manned and bruised and dy-
ing man falls out Of the ranks, that
the saloon is not ready with a new
recruit, and from this vast ever-in-
creasing army, the masters of the
liquor interests are yearly drawing a
thousand million dollars in toll.-Hon.
Seaborn Wright Of Georgia.
