The republicans will have the pri- mary system in operation this year and it will undoubtedly prove vast improvement over the old caucus method with it's crowds and made quate space. There has been talk of the introduction of this system in New Britain ever since the time when M. c. Webster and c. J. Parker were nominated for representatives. The caucus was called for Turner hall but the attendance was so large that an adjournment was taken to the state armory across the street. There is ab- solutely no place in New Britain where a largely attended caucus can be held with any pretense of accom- modating the voters and giving them the proper sort of opportunity to cast their ballot for their choice of candi- dates. The democracy has the con- vention method which is unsatisfaC- tory in many respects and is about as unrepresentatiVe method as could be devised. The sixth ward holds a primary for the nomination of candidates for the common coun- ell and always without friction, the voters being given an opportunity to select whom they please without their choice being known to anyone. There is no one who has given the matter any serious thought or who will give 1t any such consideration but will say that the primary iGthe best and fair est way to nominate candidates for public office With that men can vote for whom they please and have ample time to do; can vote going home from work or after supper if that suits them best and there is no inconvenience and no dissatisfaction
 The republicans are setting a good ex- ample for the other parties in this respect and they will find when the plan is in operation that it will meet with the approval of the entire mem- bership of their organization. If the democracy would do the same an irn- portant step toward the most satis- factory method of choosing candl- dates would have been taken.

PASSING OF AN OLD ACTOR.

There is always something pathetic about the passing of an actor. When taken away suddenly their last stage utterances appear significant. It will be remembered that when Henry IT, wing died on the English stage his last words were Into Thy Hands, Oh Lord" and as he finished the line he expired. They were the lines in the play and they proved to be his last on earth. New Britain has had case almost identical, though the ac- Irving.
 John Walsh had been amusing the patrons of Keeneys theater this week in little Irish sketch and had for his companion his son, who has sweet tenor voice. The old man sang we'll, too, and danced, using a ways carried his own orchestra. Those who heard him play the flute as he sat on a box at the river front and saw him dance an Irish jig with out making a single misstep never thought that the light hearted little Irishman was nearing his end and that when he sang his song "I Want to Go Back Home Again last night that his wish would be gratified and that the home would be the one from which no actor returns. He sang the song with pathetic sweet ness and as the last sound of his voice died away and the curtain had descended he was taken suddenly i'll and died early this morning. It was the first case of the kind that New Britain has had and the pass ing of the old actor created the deep- est sympathy for the son and sor- row for the parent, who had his wish in words gratified at last. Those who have heard him sing will be sorry to learn that he will never sing again or amuse an audience with his droll Irish stories.

"pEMOCRATN OF NORWICH"

Who is the democrat from Nor u,;ch that has issued the circular ask ine the democrats of Connecticut to elect delegates who will vote for ,rhar,es w. Comstock in the demo- Ara+ic convention as the party's can didate for governor? It is in reality ar anonymous communication, most ,,ndignified method of drawing atten- ion to a great public man. If MT. romstock is a candidate for the nom ination who is back of him. who Is the democrat from Norwich who says that city has claim upon the party and who states that victory is sure for the democracy? If he has all this information why is he afraid to give his name?
 The anonymous author says that no day is more fitting to send out this message than July 4, the 136th year of American Independence; for de- mocracv was born when the Declara- tion of Independence was signed. But the document was not signed l36 years ago; as matter of fact it was signed in 1776 which Is 13S years ago and it may be possible that the Norwich democrat intended his proclamation to have been issued two years ago. He says he has no other choice of candidates but is for

Big Year in Church Building.
(New York Sum-

Reports received here from various parts of the country indicate that this will be buster season in church building than for ten years past, de- spite the talk of financial and indus trial depression.
 Contracts thus far let call for struc- lures that will cost between $35,0O0,- 900 and $4O,OO0 900. While all of this money may not be spent upon the buildings before the end of this year, contracts uncompleted at the begin ming of the season will make the total expenditure this year approximate $4O,OOO,OOO.
 This sum is about $5,0OO,000 above the average for the last ten years.
 The Roman Catholics are among the most active this season. They are following the pattern of Vienna, Paris and Rome in multiplying the number of parishes in large cities, feeling that their parishes in many cases are too large In the southern states much building of small Catholic churches is going on.
 The Episcopalians are also active. They are building catnedrals in sev- eral important cities. The Christian Scientists report fewer building pro- jects this year than formerly.
 New York will spend from $5,000,- 900 to $s,OO0,OOO this summer, chiefly on Manhattan island. Chicago has in hand Some s3,OO0.OOO in church projects. The south and southwest, New England and the Rocky noun tain regions report the largest num- bers of projects, although in many cases amounts involved are small.

The health department has had little tilt with the common council. The former has adopted a rule that applicants for plumbers licenses must pass an examination by a committee of the health department. One ap- plicant failed to pass and the coun- cil passed a resolution directing the board to grant the application and the board has naturally refused to ac- cede to the request. 1t is difficult to find fault with the board of health in this instance, for unless it exercises some power over those who do plumbing and sees that no one except those who are competent to do the work properly are engaged in 1t, then there is no use in having building laws and a plumbing inspector Several years ago the master plumbers wanted to draw up certain rules and then asked the common council to appoint one of their number to see that the rules were observed. This was such a preposterous proposition that 1t was not seriously considered, but the con- ditions today are altogether different
 It is important that the work be done properly and the first move in that
 
 potent persons doing it. The law, however, should not be so sweeping in its effect that it would be neces- sary for house owner to employ an expert plumber every time a faucet is leaking, for to do so would mean an expense that would be little short of waste. Such things will happen oc- casionally in every house and if the 1ov, hof
 censed plumber can make the repairs then the cost of maintenance will soop reach a high figure. What is meant, and if it isn't it ought to be, is that in the erection of new buildings the plumbing should be properly done; that means that it must be done by competent workmen, and where there are breaks and similar troubles the work shall also be done by the same class of help. A great deal of a l plumbers work is concealed from view and for that, if for no other req . l son, it should have some guarantee | of permanency, otherwise disease may 1 be the result The common council l has certain powers, but it ought to l leave to subordinate bodies Hhe settle. ment of such matters, as they have 1 direct charge and which can be best l settled by them. To have one body l insisting upon one mode of procedure and another saying that it can be dis carded with mpunity is not apt to | work out to the satisfaction of the | city. It cannot be otherwise. It has ] always been more or less difficult to l install anything new in this city, and l it has never yet been done without l certain leaders taking the bull by the | horns as it were and pushing ii l through The board of health may l have to resort to the same methods l before it will be able to carry into ef-

 melon, this one consisted chiefly of' water, but it was not raised in Wall street. It was raised by one of Mir. Bryan's Florida neighbors, and is guaranteed to be one of the biggest ever seen in the. national capital. If the republicans in congress need any further basis for their attack they will find 1t in the fact that the melon was divided among the correspondents and reporters who make daily calls at the department of state. This is clearly enough an effort by the secre- tary of state to corrupt the press and assure himself of favorite position, top of column, next to pure reading matter, for any contribution to the papers he may feel inspired to make.
 Persons whose own experience has led them to believe that the depart ment of state hands out only lemons will learn with a sort of bitter in- terest that its fruit resources are more extensive than they had sup posed, and that on occasions it can cut melon. which the sagacious will see is the same thing as a lemon, with a slight transposition of elements

TNDEPENDENCE DAY.

It is a hundred anu ehAA " oAo>-~ wears ago since the declaration or .independence was signed ana tnls .countrv became free from the gov- .ernment of England. The war was still being waged against foreign op- Inression, but while there were money land men on one side there were men land determination on the other ana lit was the latter who were triumphant lin the end. In Massachusetts where The English first sought to subdue the |Amerscan spirit there are many hls- toric places, to which pilgrimage | is now being made, showing where the small number of farmers and con- Itinentals carried the day before tnelr rod coated foes and where the young and aged people of the present stop land raise their hats in reverence Tor |the memory of the men who gave |urr tEeir lives to make American the hc,nc of liberty. No other land has seen such remarkable progress in such a. space cf time; no other coun- |t,.v has such a representative gov kernn,ent where the majority rules. Lrhere there is such prompt acqui- |cscence in the expressed will of the people and> where the inhabitants en- |ioy such prosperity as result or |their toll. Americans differ on many |ouestions buts it has been this differ ence that has >made the country pro- rressive, that ,has made it's people natriotic and home loving.
 Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the signing of the declaration or independence and the manner or
 ce,ebration has been the most pecu-
 liar of any commemorating national
 event. Church bells have pealed,
 cannon have been discharged and
 there has been speechmaking, orators
 growing eloquent over the accom-
 n,ishme ents of the country and even
 the little children joining in the gen.
 eral rejoicing. As the country grew so did the celebration, new features
 being introduced until recent years
 when it was realized that the hre-
 works and the incidental features or
 that part of the celebration have been
 working a great danger, that human
 lives have been destroyed and that
 the ,time had come when there must

 are none of tour holidays like it. l, is not compared with Christmas, be- 4 cause that is the anniversary of the X Creator of the world to whom we all owe so much, but the Fourth of July

We read in the Boston Transcript


 that "a method of sewing hairs in the human scalp in cases of partial or total badness ihas been successfully used in several instances by Dr. Szekelv at the hospital of St. Stephane at Budapest. The number of hairs "planted' in the head of a patient has been as many as 5o,o0o. One hundred hairs are drawn through punctures in the scalp to every square centimeter, and as both ends are left free, the number is thus 2O0 or over 1000 to each square inch" The press agent of the Bald Head club of America has not been heard from on the subject as vet, but we understand that the banuuet of the club, scheduled for next fall in Winsted, will be held at the appointed time, just as though pr. Szekely never existed.-Water- bury American.
