 "Uncle Jerry" Donovan continues to administer "calls" to everybody in Washington. The entire Illinois dele gation was the object of his latest at- tack. What interests Bridgeport Democrats is how "Uncle Jerry" can be so interested in other things and not breathe a syllable about placing two Democrats ill federal offices here that are now being capably filled by Repub- cans.-Bridgeport Standard.
 A pertinent question from corres- pondent of the New York Times: eff we are to admit to the Hall of Fame the names of some of our great fnan- ciers, would it not be well to wait for about 10 years after their death?" Of course that correspondent had the late J. P. Morgan in mind. American

Baby's Name.

It was an eventful day for Rose the day her little sister was born. She was delighted and took no pains to conceal her great joy. At the same time she felt great increase of age and dignity, and announced to her mother, at tho first opportunity that she no longer wished to be called Rose" but by her own name-Frances.
 "We called you Rose, dear, when you were a baby" said her mother, with an indulgent smile, "because you were so fair and sweet that you reminded us of a rose. Can you not think of some flower that your little sister resem- bles?''
 Rose curled herself up at the foot of her mothers bed and meditated deeply for few moments, then she went over and took peep at baby sleeping peace- fully in her crib.
 "I think we might call her Currant, said the little tot.

Letters From the People
Our Mothers.

To the Editor of The News:
 I see that the prisoners in the Min nesota state prison at Saltwater raised a fund by general subscription of all it's inmates, to buy carnations to wear on Mothers Day. This shows very plainly that mothers are venerated in the hearts of all men. don't believe there is a man on earth, no matter how depraved he may be that does rot carry a fond remembrance of his mother, the dearest and best friend that any man is blest with in this unfeeling, world of sin and greed. She is the one friend that always remains true. If her sons go astray she is sure to forgive and strive to turn them to ways that are good; and her tender mothers heart will never acknowledge that her boy is entirely bad. May the Ruler of all things strew blessings of cheer and comfort along the pathway of every good, true. generous, patient mother is the wish of yours truly.

1 Did Not Know.

 I did not know that love could be so dear, And sweet and innocent. I always thought it was some flaming thing, Red and magnificent. It was as if my heart, wandering Superb and without care, Through hothouse blooms of love, all fragrant hued,< Had found wild rose there. Clear-eyed and wonderful, my dreams came back With time fantasies; Of country paths beside deep clover fields And gnarled old trysting trees. I did not know that love could be so dear, And sweet and innocent. I always thought it was some flaming thing, Red and magnificent.

Get Together. Pull To ether.

The Friends That Love Us Always. TheYfriends thatj love us always,
 In the good times and the bad; The friends that love us always Are the friends that keep us glad. The friends that cling in tempest
 As they do in calm are those That have made the paths of hardships Seem the paths of song and rose. The friends that love us always,
 When we go their way or not, Are the friends that hearts remember
 When the others are forgot. The friends that stick the closest
 When the trouble grows the worst, The friends that love us always
 Just the way they did at first; They are the crowning jewels
 Of the coronets we weave In the dreams of tender moments
 When the troubles start to leave; And we lisp their names forever And we see their faces clear; The friends that love us always,
 In the sun or shadows, dear

A WoMAN'S ISSUE.

On Saturday of this week the Ney Haven Union will be edited entirel, by women of the New Haven Suffragis League. In making the announcemen the editor says: . -.... .-.. .......A
 The Union will be prepared, edited, written and published un- der the immediate and personal management and direction of the Woman Suffragists of New Haven!
 In word, the Woman Suffragists of this enlightened city will ex- clusively boss The Union and mere man will have nothing to do, with it except to set the type and print the paper.
 On the date mentioned the Woman Suffragists of New Haven will have demonstration in this city that will emphasize the solid and convincing growth of this move ment locally. Elaborate prepara- tions have been made for the event.
 It is admitted that no more tell ing argument of the acknowledged ability and of the advancing thought and adaptability as we'll as the capability of women, can be presented than this plan of turning over to the Woman Suffragists of New Haven the right to the unre- stricted privilege of getting out a newspaper. The Union is pleased to have these intelligent and brainy leaders in the movement for equal rights accept the proposition to do a little newspaper publica- tion of their own on this moment ous occasion.
 And the women have gone into the plan with an earnestness that IS sure sign of success. They will write all the news of that day to be published in the paper which is to be absolutely under their con- trol. No man will put pen to a line of their copy.
 The only object The Union has in this rather surprising innovation in the newspaper field in Connecti- cut, is to give the women an oppor- tunity to show what they can do in the newspaper line.
 As some of the most capable news paper women in the country are located in New Haven, and are presumabl, members of the League, it is reasonable to expect that The Union, next Satur day, will be a creditable production even to so well-edited newspaper a the Union. Nevertheless, the Satur day issue will be watched for with in terest.

Weariness.

Weariness. I am weary of ladies who sag, And who finger and loiter and lag; Who are hipless and spineless, Whose figures are lineless; Who walk with Rosetta drag. I am tired of costumes that slink, That crawl and that cling and that kink,
 That are Poiret expressions Of insane obsessions In yellow and purple and pink. I am tired of cultures that hide Ears, eyes, and some more things be- side;
 Of hats like big powders, That rest on the shoulders, With three-foot stick ups at the side. I simply am hungry to see Some woman break loose and be free To dress herself neatly, And walk about deetly, Ignoring Dame Fashions decree!
