RETIRING.


 The first navigator to prove that the continents of Asia. and America are not united was Vitus Behring, 8 Dane who died on the island since named after him 173 years ago o-day, Nov. 28, 1741- Behrtng was in the service of Empress Catharine of Russia wheM he set out on his last but memorable expedition. The object was to dis cover whether Asia and Alaska were separate or joined. Crossing Siberia. the Danish explorer sailed from tho Kamachatka river in 172s, and pass ed through the strait now called BeTl- ring and across the sea which also bears his name. Without seeing Ann erica, he concluded that the corti- neats were not united, and returned. On a later voyage he landed upon the American coast and gave it's name to Mount St. Elias. On the return trip his ship was cast upon an island, nov called Rehring. near the Aleutian group. and there the brave sailor died. Behring's crew. after many privations. succeeded tnl returning to Asia, with spells which laid the foundation for the Alaska fur trade.

 PARDEE SAYS

New Haven, Nov 28-Analysis of the membership of the next general assembly has been made by William s. Pardee, g. member Of the lower branch in the last House from New Haven. and author of bills to create new towns within the limits of the city of New Haven One such bill was passed by the last Senate and killed in the House The object of Mir. Pardee's bill was to give New Haven additional representation in the House. At the last session bills to accomplish the same end were in- troduced tor Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury and Meriden, but each failed Of passage.
 In kis analysis of he incoming leg islature, MT. Pardee says, in part:
 Out of 258 members in the House only 31 were reelected, namely 512, per cent. only, or one in eight The habit of the state in not sending hack rep- resentatives makes it over and over again an amateur House controlled by a few experts. ''
 As to the Senate, MT Pardee points out that seven representatives were elected to the upper body. Of the 35 senators sitting in the last body only four were reelected. about the same percentage as the representatives MT. Pardee sums up his analysis by saying:

 BIG OPPORTUNITY.

Opportunity is knocking at the door of North America-knocking loudly with cIub--according to John Bar rett, the director-genera1 of the Pan American Union and the leader in the movement for bridging the gap which has so long separated Anglo-Saxon and Latin America. The eminent preacher of Pan-AJnerican prosperity and progress will celebrate his forty eighth birthday to-day, as he was born in Grafton, Vt. Nov. 28, 1866. Mr. Barrett not only knows Latin-Amer- ica Hike a book" but also has a, wide knowledge of his own country, having been born in New England,i and edu- cated at Dartmouth, Worcester, Mass Academy and Vanderbilt University at Nashville After completing his edu- cation he went to the Pacific coast where he was first a teacher in an Oakland academy, and later reporter and editor on the stans of papers in San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle and Portland, Ore He began his diplo- matic career twenty years ago as min iSter to Siam, and served in a similar capacity in Argentine, Panama and Colombia before taking up his pres ent work in 1906.

Hartford, Nov. 2a.-Attorney Gem eral John H.

Judge Light holds that if the law contemplated the placing of the de- partment under the law the effect would be the practical abolisnment of the state police commission
 A new civil service question has arisen: Does the appointment of a superintendent Of the capitol come within the intent of the law? Opin- ions differ. Mr. Wright, secretary Of the commission, asserts that it does.
