For the second time within three
months and the third time within
three years the plant of the New Ha-
ven Union, on Center street, was Wis
tied by fire, when a blaze about 1890
last night entirely burned out the edi-
torial rooms, causing loss estimated
at $500.
estimated by Alexander Troup, the
business manager, at about 5000,
while it is thought that the loss to the
building which is owned by the estate
of Mary Mansfield, will be under ST.
OOO Other firms which suffered loss
from the fire are the Gilbert Corset
Company, whose plant is on the third
floor to the extent of 81, 600. and the
National News Press Association re
ported a loss of $500, making a, total
of about ST 800 All the losses are
covered by insurance.
The fire is believed to have started
under a, typewriter desk, as the re-
suit of the combination of mice and
matches The blaze was discovered
by an unknown man.
Mrs. Alexander Troup, widow of the
founder of the Union, was addressing
a meeting of the Political Equality
Club in the New Haven Y. M G. A

some of her Z companions. Calmly

BANK DIRECTORS LIABLE.

The opinion has prevailed in Missis-
sippi for years, and has been practiced
to such an extent that bank directors
were little less thau figure heads in the
management of these institutions, that
their positions carried with them no re-
sponsibility whatever. Banks would
organize, elect president, vice president,
cashier and directors, and tnen open
for business, the directors leaving the
management of the bank to the presi-
dent and cashier, the directors regard
ing their positions purely ornamental.
The result of this loose method has
been the bankrupting of NUMBERS Of
Mississippi banks by trusted presidents
and cashiers. The failures came, and
Investigations proved that none in the
communities were more surprised than
the directors themselves, who never
thought it worth their while to investi-
gate for themselves the true condition
of the banks. The Supreme Court of
issued warning to the directors that
they are as much responsible for the
failure of bank as are the ones who
systematically pilfered it as president
and cashier. In other words, that the
uiIBClOFo muSb u tuGiI UWu personal
knowledge keep posted as to the safety
OF the funds of the bank.
This matter came before the Supreme
Court by suit brought by the Gates
Mercantile CO., of MendenhalI, Simp-
son county. This company brought
suit against w. G. Ellis, one of the
directors of a bank of that county that
had failed, the suit being brought TO re-
cover money that had been lost by the
banks failure.
In stating the opinion of the court,
Justice Reed well said:
Directors of the banks are not Just
| for ornamental purposes-it is obliga-
tory on them to meet and look closely
after the condition Of their bank. and
this case is. only of neglect, and to such
an extent that all the directors are
liable"
In speaking of this decision the Mag
| nolia Gazette says:
This decision opens a door of relief
which has hitherto Deen closed TO tue
banks depositor who lost his savings
i because OF the carelessness of directors
who were charged by law with the duty
OF overseeing the bank 8 business and
Regulating it, affairs. Yaxoo Herald.

WILLIAMS AND VARDAMAh.
An Outside Expression from the N. o. Item.


Nearby states will watch with interesl
for the truth or error in a report now
running through the Mississippi news
papers that John Sharp Williams and
James K Vardaman have forgiven, II
they have not forgotten, the enmities
stirred during the last two senatorial
campaigns In the state.
Once they were friends, and James
K. Vardaman made the famous proph-
ecy that John Sharp Williams would
make one Of the best senators that ever
sat in Washington from Mississippi or
any other state.
Williams never went SO far with ref
erence to Vardaman, but in some con-
tests within the commonwealth he
helped him.
Then Williams defeated Vardaman
for the senate by a narrow margin OF
some few hundred votes that most Mis-
sissipplans agree would have been
wiped out had the campaign lasted an
other week.
Then Williams added salt to the
wound by leaving Washington to take
up rapiers for Leroy Percy's hopeless
fight before the people.
Percy was defeated, Vardaman was
elected to the senate and Bilbo to the
post of lieutenant governor. Factional
feeling rose to height in Mississippi
never equaled even in that region of un-
trimmed talk and aggressively inde-
pendent action. ''We'Il get John Sharp
next tlme!" was the freely uttered
threat from the extremists of the Var
daman-BilDo faction. Vardaman was
quoted everywhere as having declared
tnat he would punish the senior senator,
who had ventured to interfere ia con-
test not his own.
The reported ending OF the feud has
general interest.
Williams has made good Vardaman' s
prophecy concerning him. Scholarly
courageous, independent, genuinely
progressive in the best sense OF thai
much misused word, he is one of the
dependencies of that element of the
Democratic party from which must come
action that will justify its control OF
the federal government. 1t would be
a national misfortune TO lose him fron
the United States senate.
AS to Vardaman himself, there il
much more to him than the temper and
cast of his campaign speeches would
indicate. He made good governor

The Perfect Baby

Through a baby contest" conduct
ed by the University Settlement in
New York, the perfect baby" has
been discovered. He is little Abe Edel-
owitZ, three and half months old.
II is, perhaps, significant sociologically
that Abe is no eugenic child that
his parents are Woodworking people
and that his birthplace was in New
Yorks East Side--the worst and most
congested district OF the most popu-
lous city in America.
The baby's mother has accepted the
verdict of perfection in her son as
though no other could be given. The
child weighs AL pounds, is 26 inches
high, II inches around the chest, IS
inches around the abdomen, and his
head Is 1863 inches In circumference.
Mrs. Edelowitz described her sys-
TEN of baby culture-she had never
thought OF II as a system before-as
just natural with an entire absence OF
medicine. When he wanted to nurse
she said. she let him. and when he
cried she made sure that nothing was
hurting him. and then let him cry II

window, letting him sleep or wake as
