O'CONNELL MAKES
 MAIDEN SPEECH
Asks Pay Increase For Shell Fish Engineers and Gets
 Senate Vote.
Especial to The Farmer1

<
 Hartford, May 17.Asenator John M. o'connen of Bridgeport. on the next to the closing day of the Senate today made what was really his maiden speech when he spoke at some length in favor of the bill which will increase the salaries of the engineers of the shell fish commission from $2-, 900. to $2,50o. The civil engineers who are semp1oyed in laying out lines marking the locations of the public oyster and other public shell fish grounds have heretofore received $2,- 900 per year with fees which amount ed to between $500 and $9Oo. These fees will be turned over to the state treasurer in the future under the new law. fe
 Senator O'ConneI1 explained that under the new arrangement between $500 and $4oo would be turned into the state treasury every year more than the increase which it was in ad- dition to the increase which it is pro posed to give the. shell fish com1nis- sinn engineers. Senator O,ConneI said he had no personal interest in the bill, but he felt the new arrangement meant a saving to the state. The bill passed the Senate.

 She swallowed four seven-and- one half grain bichloride of mercury tab f lets after attending mass at the church. Instead of taking the tablets whole, she cfewed them and washed them down with water, a performance so unique that@medical men are watch ing her case with intentness.
 Swallowing tablets in a. chewed state will hasten death, but it allows great CT play with the stomach pump. Her stomach was thoroughly cIeansed by pr, J. H. +Beaudry, emergency surgeon, and whether this will save her life or not is, expected. to beeknown in a, few hours ,ss

STOCK MARKET

New York. May 17.--Opening-La Saturdays price recovery was resum- ed on broad and general scale at the outset of to-day's trading, standard shares gaining to 2 points while war speciaIties rose to T, Bethlehem Steel making the greatest advance. Trad ing reflected confidence in a satisfac- tory adjustment. of impending interna.- tionaI complications, London's market for our shares showing frmness. Deal ings were fairly large but without spectacular feature. United States Steel was the only stock to show ,un=. usual activity at the opening, a block of 4,60O shares being offered at 52 E to s53, against last weeks close. of s51M
 Noon-Initial advances were follow ed by a reaction, resulting mainly from selling for profits. This condf- ton in turn gave way to still a higher level for some of the leaders, notably Steel. Specialties, however, failed to retain more than a fair share of their advance, Bethlehem Steel, for exam pie, yielding 8 points. Trading slack ened before the end of the first hour, becoming almost stagnant by midday. Bonds were strong.

 Runaway Horse While
 Big Gathering Admire

A runaway team of the Adams Ex- press Go. headed dow1f Fairfield ave nue towards Broad street this morn ing, was stopped by Special Police man Alexander Howell, who had diff dculty in controlling the frightened animal.
 The team was drawn beside police headquarters when the horse at tempting to turn around without the driver, was struck by a light tying weight attached to it's bridle. This scared the animal and it ran with rapidly increasing speed towards Main street with Howell in pursuit. Grabbing the brid1e of the animal near Harrison street, Howell brought the horse to a standstiH in front of the Blue Ribbon garade. He was commended by policemen who had watched the chase from windows ot the building.

 A man seldom thinks of breaking a bad habit until he finds that the bad habit is breaking him.

 The old fashioned man who used to get up at 4 a. m. and milk the COW now has a son who cusses the milkman be- cause he makes noise when he rat ties the bottles at a. m.
 There isn't much difference between the man who hasn't any brains and the man who doesn't know how to use what little he has.
 When you hear a man Dragging that he never made a mistake in his life you can bet that he isn't married man.
 Before he gets her he thinks that she is not bit like other girls. And after he gets her he knows that she isn't Truth is more of stranger than fic- ton.
 Some women are glad they haven't any children, because if they had they might not have time to attend all of the mothers meetings. We are all attracted by our oppo- ] sites Maybe that is the reason why a woman who is a good talker usually cops out man who is a good listener.
