THE REAL MIR. MULvIHILL

Certain contemporaries continue to make yelled as sauts upon Denis Mulvhin, because he has been con of wckedy and maciously receiving an endorse for county commissioner from the and senators for Fairfield county after of the hottest contests the history of this political division of the state u
 Upon former occasions MT. Mulvihill, wickedly and aciousy, and against the of the state caused himself to be nominated for by the overwhelming demand of his fellow citizens and then elected by the largest majority given to mayor in Bridgeport
 The aforesaid people having msconducted them. selves proceeded again to elect MT n t9er chle1 m mayor of Bridgeport
 They then nominated him twice again, but he was beaten by of the smallest prates ever given against a candidate for that office
 Since Mayor Mul7ihill's defeat no mayor Bridge r,ort has held the than But mayor of Bridgeport entered the office with any thing like majority, mayor came back to the office for the second tire nominated the second time
 All of these things the said Nulvihin brought about by the vickeness of his heart the sincerity of his tves the soty of his views and the confidence which the stupid people of Bridgeport had in him.
 Under~those circumstances dear contemporary, isn't it ittle say useless and uintelgent to refer him in sighting terms9 Is it not affront to the
 whole people of Bridgeport to condemn without evidence one whom they have so signally honored

The first governmental recognition of the unnecessary waste Of human life in American mining operations result ed in the organization of the United States Bureau of Mines, under a law approved by Congress three years ago today. Several experimental stations for studying the problems of mine saf- ety were established. At the princi- pal station the work in the laboratories on mine accident problems is supple mented by experiments conducted in a small coal mine under the conditions of actual mining. The bureau also conducts an educational campaign in behalf of mine rescue and first aid to the injured work. As a result of the
 bureaus work, 1t is expected that
 mining fatalities will gradually be re- duced to the rate prevailing in Euro- pean countries where the government has long enforced stricter regulations for the protection of life and limb. The first English act for the regulation of mines was passed over half a. cen tury ago. A comparison for one year shows that, Of every thousand miners employed, 47O were killed in the Uni ted States and 1.31 in England In the same year 2.40 out of each thousand were killed in Prussia, no in France. 1.O7 in Austria, and 1.03 in Belgium. The last named country affords better protection to it's miners than any oth- CT. the average for several years past

uNAsHAMRD TO BE HUMAN.

Whatever else may be ashamed of let me not be ashamed of being hu- man.
 I may well blush. for my little store of knowledge, for it might have been greater; and for my imperfect wis dom, which might have been sounder; for my sinss that might have been fewer; and for my righteousness, which is paltry enough.
 For excesSes, lacks, and want of bal ance. may be justly blamed, but for any genuine human feeling I have no right to hang my head.
 So I dare say frankly that love to eat and to drink I love woman and the child. I love my slippered ease and a crack with good company love adventure and the shining sail, love a roustng book, a. clever play and fair fight.
 And whatever pride or joy is built upon the contempt Of others I hate.
 The best part of the heritage the Twentieth Century brings me Is the privilege of being wholly human and not ashamed of 1t. To quote from William Watson's recent poem: For now the hour of dreams is past;
 The gibbering ghosts depart; And Man is Rnashamed at last
 To have a human heart. Dr. Frank Crane in Woman's, Word
 for June.

One of the most famous of the an cient fairs of Europe is that of San ls1dro, in Spain, which will be revived to-day. For centuries the hermitage or San 1sidro, near Madrid, has been the scene of a great fair on each fif- teenth of May, when the grand pill gr1mage and festival of San Isidro draws thfther crowds of the popula- ton. The commercial side of this as of other European fairs, has gradually dwfndled, as modern methods of ex- change of commodities have made such gatherings, for purposes of trade, wholly unnecessary.
 Fairs were established in Flanders in the tenth century, and soon spread to other countries. Earth oIomew Fair at smtthf1eld, in the heart of Lon dons was founded in the twelfth cen tury, and was long a great assemblage of the business community of the kingdom, with mountebacks, merry andrews, giants, dwarfs, and other freakish amusers, as a side issue. Gradually the great annual mart lost it's importance, and became mere resort for the social refuse of London, which resulted in it's entire abolition half century ago. Greatest of the old commercial fairs of Europe is that of Nijni-Novgorod, Russia, which is still held each summer, although it, too, is probably nearing it's end. In it's palny days this yearly mart at tracted as high as 10000 buyers and sellers from all over Russia and Asia, while the total value of gods brought to the fair averaged not less than fifty million dollars.

England has erected and planned several memorials in honor of Flor ence Nightingale, the angel of mer- cy'' who was born in Florence, Italy, ninety-three years ago yesterday. The city of London's memorial, which oc- GuiIdha1I, assumes the form of mar hle statuette three feet in height. Miss Nightingale is pictured as setting out on one of her heroic errands Of smer- cy. The Lady of the Lamp" is shown bareheaded and in the simple gown of the Victorian period, standing with a candle in her left hand, while with her right hand she is shielding her eyes from itn light.
 It was at Scutari, recently the scene of such stirring events. that Miss Nightingale had her first experi- ence of the terrors of war. It was during the Crimean war, when the hospitals on the Bosphorus were crowded with sick and wounded, that Miss Nightingale, who had early man ifested an intense devotion to the aIIe- viation of suffering, volunteered to go out and organize a nursing force at Scutari. Lord Herbert accepted her services. and she Immediately depart ed with. thirty-four nJrses.\ She ar rived at ConstantinopIe on the eve of Inkermann, in time to receive the wounded into wards already crowded by 2,500 patients, and a few months af- ter her arrival in the Near East she had 10000 sick and wounded men un- der her care. In 1855, while in the Crimea, she was herself prostrated, but refused to leave her post to go home, and on her recovery remained at Scutari until Turkey was evacuat- ed by the British. After the war was over fund of a quarter million dol lars was raised to enable Miss Night ingale to establish an institution for the training of nurses. Full of years and honors, the ''angel of mercy died in 1910.
