''Is the Power of Will Possible of Development, or Is It Natural Vir- tue?" will be discussed Sunday after noon at 3.sO o'clock at the Y. M. c. A. The subject will be presented by J. D. Brock, physical director, and will then be open for general debate.
 MT Brock believes that the educa7 tion of the will is not only possible, but that in the complex living to-day evidences of this is each person's ability to concentrate upon a question at issue, thinking through to a de- cision, and then abiding by that de- cision: difficult at first. but gradually more natural and easy. Many facts will be brought out in the discussion, which is open to all, and an invitation is extended to any man dn the city to come.

OYSTER GRO MERS
 AT BIG HEARING

Hartford. March 27-Havii1g heard those who favored an additional tax upon the oysternen of the state the finance conlnittees yesterday heard general the oystermen agreed that they were facing a calanitous cAtas- uophe.
 Senator Mead of Greenwich said that twenty years ago. there were 50 men in his section engaged in the oys- ter business where now there are only about fifteen and they are all small dealers. He said that the po1lutton of the waters had worked against them and, as conditions are now. he was opposed to any additional tax upon the industry
 MT. Homan said that Virginia was once the oyster state, but Yankee brains saw that the oysters might be brought here and developed and they were finally grown here on hitherto unprodnctive ground whom the state laws were liberal. NO state,'' shout oyster culture than Connecticut 2
 The business here 15egamt to decline in 1884, owing to the increasing pol Iation of the tidal waters and the state is not necessarily, he said, an. oyster state Just because it happens to produce seed oysters. The seed
 oyster is feeble critter. MT. Hoz man explained, and is a risk for five
 years when it is ready for the mar ket. Now the oystermen carry the seed to Rhode Island or Massachusetts waters to develop because of the pol Iutton of Connecticut waters.
 Both the productivity taxes suggest ed, MT. Homlan said. were offensive beyond imagination.', Both are ut terly impossible, he said, because if the oyster boats were forced to meas ure their catches it would mean a double crew and increase the expense 100 per cent. while. if the boats had to come to the wharves for inspection they would be forced to await the pleasure of the inspectors and in the summer might suffer the loss of their entire eaEgoes.
 Mir. Homan Insisted that the oyster men already pay a tax to the state and they also pay 8 tax to some of the towns, New Haven and Orange for instance. He said that the she11f1sh commission every year squeezes a lit tie more from the oysternen. Why not treat us,'' said Mir. Hornan. Hike the peach growers or the tobacco growers

Washington. March 26.-one of the unique characters in the United States senate is James E. Maritime. from New Jersey. MT. Martine is in class by himself, according to the press pen sketchers. The newspaper paragraph CTS delight in Martine. He is am ora tor, for one thing, an orator who in- dulges in flights of rhetoric that sometimes stagger as well as delight. Then, again, Maritime, so the corre- spondents point out, is never afraid to indulge in any debate, especially if he can wave the stars and stripes in Wordy imagery. Before Senator Mar tine defeated former United S States Senator James Smith. Jr.. of New Jersey for the Democratic seat, through the efforts Of woodrow ,Vil- son, then governor of New Jersey, he had run for pretty nearly every office in the state and had never been elect ed But he kept right on, and a queer political turn of the wheel landed him in the senate.
