 Born at New London, Connecticut, in 1869, Major Richard F. Freeman,
 Republican nominee for lcongressm n in the second district, is young enough to take full advantage Of the opportu- mites presented by any place of high responsibility in public life, and old enough to bring to such service that disposition of prudence and common sense which comes through mature Judgment and long experience with men and affairs Al 45 man is in his prime.
 For success in any work, especially for the breadth and activity of a career in Congress the importance of wide foundation and completeness of educa tion, not only from books, but more vi- tally from the harder won Knowledge accruing from the actual contact and battling with the realities Of life, can not be oYefestimaled. In this Major Freeman k except onaliy well equip ped.
 He brought To his chosen profession, the law, an academic training which has made possible the enviaole posi- ton he has attained at the bar. liar yard gave him the degree of Master Of Arts, cum iaude, in 1891. He is gra. duate also of the Tale law school Twenty years of varied legal practice have taken Major Freeman into every state of the United States except Flofi. da, and earned for him at home ian extremely creditable reputation. As evidence of his standing il may be mentioned that within the last year the probate eases under Major Free mans charge have involved estates aggregaling nearly S2,000, 900 in value. He has been three times prosecuting attorney in the city court of New Lon don, and has for years been accredited as an authority in criminal law.
 A man of affairs, NJ ajor Freeman has also been man among men. In his fTaternal associations, as Past Grand Master of Brainerd Lodge of Free Ma sons, AS Past Exalted Ruler and Past District Deputy of the Elks, in his va rious club memberships, and years of service in national guard AS Regimen tal Sergeant Major during the spanish war, and Judge Advocate since, on the Connecticut Brigade staa, he has gained the widest cquaintaneeship, and become very broadly known AS n thoroughly democratic, fine hammered, and highly esteemed gentleman.
 As public speaker Major Freeman is possessed of an unusually persua- aiye eluquence. lie is master of his subjects, an excellent deoater and n thorough patliamentarian.
 Major Freeman is an ardent Repub- lican, In his interpretation of the party principles he is neither to be cIassed as radical or reactionary, but represents wholesome Connecti- cut standpoint that should particular ly appeal at this time when politics of the Democratic administration have had so little respect for Connecticut interests or Connecticut sanity Among those who know him, Major Freeman is considered to have a remarkable in. formation in the whole field Of Ameri- can politics.
 In appearance, address and pres ence, Major Freeman suffers nothing in comparison with the States best. He is an able, conscientious, generally admired citizen, well worthy of an of flee of distinction, certain to grace il, if elected, aud he comes, before the Re. publican voters ot eastern Connecticut with abundant claim upon their hear tiest support. com.

The Christian as a novel was a great success. Later it was dramatized and it brought fame and wealth to Miss Viola Allen. It's present form is it's pest, inasmueh as the talky dialogue of the novel and drama have been eliminated and the many scenes which were omitted in the stage version, are utilized in the picturized version. It is a superb production of wonderful story, and having been made by the justly celebrated Vitagraph company, who provided it's best players and the most sumptuous production they could conceive 1t becomes photoplay masterpiece.

BIG SELLING ORDERS
 STOP BULL RAIDS

New york, March 11-Opening American Sugar was the weak spot in the early trading today It was under pressure from the outset and it's recent decline was extended by a. fall of 1-z from yesterdays close to e7 5-S, the lowest since 1907.
 The general market lacked the strong tone of the preceding session. While selling was not on a. large scale, the active shares were frartionaily lower Lehigh Valley, St. Paul Can adian Pacific and New Haven deciin- ed about a. point. National Biscuit rose one point.
 Noon-BuIlish sentiment was chill- ed by the appearance of large selling orders today when attempts were made to carry further yesterdays rise. Liquidation was renewed in American sugar and the eastern railroad shares, among which losses ran from one to three points. Traders found the buy ing to be Of poor quality and widened their selling, so that a large part Of the list was forced under yesterdays close. s5s

AER0PLANE BREAKS
 TWO OFFICERS DIE.

Salisbury Eng. March 1.-Two more officers of the British army fly ing corps were killed here today. Cap tain .. R. W. Allen, of the Welsh reg fment. and Lieut. J. F. G. Burroughs, Of the Wiltshire regiment, while flying over the military aerodrome on SaI- 1sbury Plain, were hurled to the ground from a high altitude owing to the collapse of their aeroplane.
 In recording the three fatalities to British army aviators within two days, the London newspapers say they make a tragic sequel to the congratu- lations expressed to the country last week by Col Seely, secretary for war. on the fact that deaths of army aviaf0rs had occurred within a, year.
 The secretary for war attributed this record to the superior safety of Brit ish aerop1anes and declared that flying was now as safe as or safer than navigation in submarines.
 The recent flying exploits of Wins taon Spencer Churchill. first lord of the Admiralty. are subject of much criti- cisrn on the ground that a cabinet minister has no right to risk his life in foolhardy exploits.

CompliuDent5 on the superiority Of Bridgeport's mercantile methods were many in the address of Harry R. Drummond, an advertising writer and sampler of merchandise who spoke under the auspices of the Publicity club in the NewfeId building last evening.
 MT. Drummond las taken part in a number of campaigns for honest ad- vertising, and though a young man, is widely experienced. He proved high Iy interesting, Instructive and enter taining He said he found the stores of Bridgeport, as a rule, the cleanest. from a business viewpoint, than any he had seen east of Denver.
 He spoke of his personal expert ences in the Bridgeport stores, and pointed out the effect of injudicious advertisine both in newspapers and display cards, as 1t applied to his wis it's in the stores.
 He instanced a sale of goods at seven cents a yard, marked down from ten cents, and soon to be re- salesbeople were unable to explain such a condition of affairs, and that the statement that the goods. worth ten cents, sold for seven and soon to be returned to ten, tended to destroy confid ence in the business methods of the establishment.
 He read a newspaper advertisement of clothing sale. announcing big re- auctions, and attacked the method of public confidence in advertisements generally.
 His talk was punctuated with many anecdotes of pointed interest, dealing with the effects of good and bad ad- vertising
