FIFTY YEARS AGO.
CouNFERFH,rFs.

Several we1I-executed ssteas's on the ThemRson bank. of this state,< were ensred in this city yesterday after noon and evening. At the same time, as we learn by telegraph, similar commercials were circulated in Bes- ton. Officer Hunt arrested a man, last evening, who had been engaged in the business of passing the notes, and heswas taken to the 1eck-up. On his person were found some 30 or $40 of the couuferfeit stuff and a smaI amount of good money. It is probable that there is a swarm of the rascals engaged in the business throughout New England and bust ness men and others should be on their guard against them.
 The fellow arrested was brought before Justice Lord and fully com mitted He gave the officer two names-Brown and flaw kins-and claimed to hail from New York He passed bills on R. T. FIitchfns, Man ming, the Main street confectionery store, and Adam Steiger. the Wall street lager beer saloon keeper, and tried other establishments without success. He had an aecomplice but the rogue succeeded in making his escape.

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

With much confidence does Ambas-
sador Bernstorf express his belief that
harmony win be restored between this
country and Germany within two
weeks and that relations will be friend
lier than ever. It is to be sincerely
hoped that what he says will prove
true to his prophecy. That is what
this country wants and as the arnbas-
sador probably realizes by this time
It il entirely up to Germany to do its
part.
The ambassadors attitude is only
such as he has maintained right along.
He has relied upon promises, however,
to assure the continuance of friendly
relations and the promises thus far
have proved to be empty ones. Itfhas
been repeatedly told what Germany
would do and how it would reform
its submarine policy, which has been
the cause Of all the trouble, but repe-
tition Of protested acts have continued
Germany has persisted in playing this
country as an easy mark, until no
respecting nation could tolerate il
longer.
AS the result Of his Interpretation
Of the American feeling and his last
conference with Secretary Lansing. his
statement furnishes ground for the be-
lief that he realizes that it is time
for something more substantial thar
unkept promises and f1imsy excuses
He must understand that this gov.
eminent is tired of the backing ani
filling which Germany has been doing
and for which he to a large degree may
he responsible. If the imperial Ger.
man government will be guided by his
advice and he makes clear the atti-
tude of the United States and advise:
accordingly what he anticipates may
become a reality. He and Germany
must understand, however. that bluff
will not do.

DUE TO cAREEssNEss-

What must be the feeling of a per-
son who is brought to the sudden
realization that he has taken a dose
OF deadly poison. though he may be
in perfect health, with everything to
live for. and have no desire or inten-
ton OF ending his life? It must be a
time. when, If he thinks Of it at all.
he recognizes that he is paying ter
rife price because Of carelessness.
This, however, is what is occurring
almost every day. Many are the rea-
sons given in such cases, as wrong
labels, the placing of poisoris with
medicines, the similarity in looks of
the dangerous and the harmless and
scores of others with but little or no
variation. In all such instances there
is the lack of proper regard for dead
~ poisons. There Is no evidence of
adequate precaution and too often a
deliberate disregard for personal safe

CONNECTICUT CAN DO IT.

Information comes from Oregon TO
the effect that apple growers in that
state have made a deal whereby 100,-
600 boxes of apples are to be shipped
to merchants In Holland next month.
This Is one Of the results of the ex-
tensive cultivation OF the fruit in that
section where 1t is one Of the big
industries. That by no means rep-
resents the whole crop, but it is a
stable order for foreign consumption
which shows what can be done when
there is a proper handling Of the bus
mess.
Oregon is doing in this respect only
what New England can do. Just at
the present time the peach CROP in this
part of the country is at It's height and
it is larger than ever. Even here the
fruit is being brought into the city from
all directions in large quantities for
consumption here and elsewhere. 1t is
coming by large wagonloads and by
boat and what Is being demonstrated
by the peace growers is entirely pos
sible with apples.
Connecticut has apple growers who
raise just as attractive fruit as can
be grown anywhere. Connecticut can
do as well in producing apples as Ore
gon If the proper attention Is given &c
it. Orchards must be cared for just
the same as any other business They
will not produce satisfactory results
through negligence, but when it comes
to making use Of practically unused

HAS cARRANzA CONTROL

From the notices which have been
sent to consular representatives in
Mexico warning those in three Of the
northern states and urging them to
notify all Americans to leave that sec
ton, the government proposes to take
no chances with any resentment which
may follow the efforts to improve con-
ditions in that republic.
The appeal of Carranza for a con-
ference for the consideration of the
international aspect of the Mexican
situation may or may not be a fore
runner of the recognition of the Car
rama government. What 1t may bring
forth from the other leaders is equal
ly uncertain and it is wise that full
provision for the protection of Amer
lean lives be made.
How successful Carranza will be in
the expected conference depends en-
tirely upon the proof which he sub
mits to the representatives of the Pan
American republics. That he claims
three quarters or nine-tenths of Mex
leo amounts to little unless he can
show that he has control there which
will permit him to set up a govern
ment maintain peace and convince the
ENJOYS that he can and will protect
humanity and foreign interests. He
must show whether he is simply the
nominal head of the forces or wheth-
er he is in actual control and prob
ably his greatest opportunity for DEM
onstrating that lies in the suppressing
of the attacks upon Americans along
the border near Brownsville, which Is
Carranza territory. His control must
be looked upon as weak and a mis-
| homer as long as such depredations
are permitted. Mexican border deaths
do not reflect to the credit of what
ever Mexican faction may be respon-
sible for them,
