the;r routes and the purchasers are usually those, of foreign birth of which there are now so many in this city. These people do not understand what is required Of them in regard to the sale of milk and it is difficult to make Is disposed of the new proprietor comes around for license and he is unable to give his own name so as it can be understood and neither is he able to tell from whom ne buys his milk. It is necessary that the milk inspector should have this informa- tion and it has been necessary on rnore than one occasion to refuse the applicant a license until he can obtain it.
 The inspection of milk at the time the office of inspector was created was much more easy task than 1t is at present. Then the law was new and the greatest difficulty was in getting people to accept it, while now the greatest trouble is in getting dealers to understand what they must do, how they shall keep their barns and what the character of the milk they sell must be. The whole business is un- oergoing n change, just as Is some other business. The foreign element has become so large in New Britain that it is gradually crowding out others who have been engaged in some form of trade for a great many years. This is bound to continue and as the Herald has often stated, the time is coming, and it is not very many years away either. when the population will be such that the foreign element as it is called, will be strong enough to govern the city. Tn the meantime the regular officials are having their own troubles with those who may one day become officials themselves.

When Corbctt beat Sullivan in New Orleans almost nineteen years ago the battle took place late at night and consequently the newspapers made no effort to "COVer it as they did in subsequent battles. The late William Siering. who at tho time kept a cafe On Commercial street, made his place the rendezvous for all the New Britain sports the night Corbett won the heavyweight championship. The bet ting was strongly in favor of Sullivan and the disappointment of his sup Dorters as the news came in that the old warrior was being beaten, was plain to be seen. Each one had different theory as to the cause of Sullivan's poor showing and it was after midnight before the knots of men left the streets after discussing the battle, the vanQuished and the victor. Sullivan was always an idol with the New Britain sports, and it used to be said that there were many who diSliked COrbctt for years for no other reason than that he peat John L.. who was regarded as invlnciblc. Corbctt and Fitzsimmons fought in the day time and it used to be esti- mated that fully 2,000 people gathered On tluTCll SlTe0I lIldU aIIoTnOOn to listen to the megaphone report given by the Herald as the fight proceeded. There was never as much enthusiasm manifested in prize fight before or since. The late Thomas H. Brady said tc the About Town Man" a few days later that the opening of the after neon session of court in Ohio where a patent case in which he was inter, ested was being tried, was delayed that day while the judge and lawyers discussed for several, minutes the probable winner of that famous con- test There was only a fair amount of interest displayed in the Jefferies- Johnson fight, the> news of which the Herald also gave on the megaphone, no paper being issued on that day. The Johnson Willard contest Is in about the same category so far as in torest is concerned as was the former battle, and while few bets have been made on the outcome the admirers of the men, if they can be truthfully called admirers, are only lukewarm. Martin Julian, who knows as much about fighters as any man in the country, was here as advance man for q singer some months ago, said to the About Town Man" that Johnson could beat any of the present day heavyweights in their best days. The only question now is what has been the effect of his dissipation during the past few years.

spring Time in Maine.
tBangor News ,

Tn" boys are now in punts and scows down to Gundalow cove catch ing the fishes which are good only before the water gets warm in the spring of the year.
 Day by day one watches the tasseIs oi the alder and the fluffy blossoms of the pussy willow unfold
 One wonders when if will be muddy going. and if the mud will be very. deep this spring, as it has been often times in springs past
 One goes down cellar and breaks off the sprouting tops of beets and carrots and fancies he is compound- ing a wonderful salad for the deloc- tation of himself and neighbors.
 It is, however nothing but a ore liminary to the spring housekeeping when the cellar windows are taken out and screens inserted. One can praise God for the coming of Il real spring this year as in former years.

Bidding for Fuel. Gfartford Times.)

Wholesale coal dealers in business on Connecticuts water front are reported to have been invited by cable to bid on furnishing supplies of bituminous coal for the French government; and in response to the invitation representatives of the bus mess are reported to have started for France Ito secure the business War has closed some of te French and Belgian coal mines, and some of these natural sources Of supply are reported not only to have been taken by the Germans but to have been ruined for all present practical purposes by explosions To what extent this country may be called upon to furnish fuel for the strick- en countries probably depends upon the length and extent of the de- structiveness of the war, and predic- tions concerning these are as varied as they are valueless. At present, the business Of furnishing fuel knock at American doors. and one must admire the pluck and push of American business men who unhesi- tatingly respond, with combined eau tion and shrewdncss.
 Of the effect upon this country. it would be foolish at the present stage of developments 10 be in any great degree fearful Ii should be kept in mind that the present for eign demand comes at time when supplies in this country. despite pro- longed strikes in some of the coal regions. have been accommodating and at Il season when the dtmands for home consumption usually rccede. On the other hand. American in- dustries arc very generally quickcn- ing their pace and likewise their consumption of bitumlnous coal. By these industries more than by home consumers the effect. if any. will be felt first; and the most of these will not be slow to act in self-protection when it becomes evident that the foreign demand is to become large enough to materially tax the Ameri- can supply.
 For foreoign countries in time n, war as we'll as for industriaIIy oc- tive countries in time of peace. there Is no more necessary contmodit,. aside from roodstuffs. than fuel Tho advantage lies with the country tl,, has it to spare, and sees to if trat It does not spare too lavishly.

NATIONAL POLITICS IN CITY
 ELECTIONS. . -
CITY

Chicago is to have d municipal elec- tion next week and the campaign is being waged on national issues, the republicans calling attention to the large number of unemployed and tell ing the voters that the democratic national administration is responsible for it, while the democrats are asking if in the event of victory by the re- publicans the Chicago common coun- cil will revise the tariff and restore prosperity to the people. Those who laugh perhaps at this kind of a cam paign, but there is no mistaking the fact that the party in power is always at disadvantage when business is poor and all know 1t isn't good just now, although the ,season is almost at hand when business will surely pick up. The republicans, however, cannot gain anything by such a cam paign in the long run because there is no relationship between municipal and national politics, neither has any bearing on the other, and while vic tory may be won because of dull busi- ness it more apt to cause ill feeling afterwards when the victor is unable to provide tho remedy promised dur ing the campaign.
 Chicago like New York. conducts it's elections on any kind of an issue that produces results or promises to produce those desired If the nation al administration will do the work then it is pressed into service, if not something else is provided and the people as Il rule fall for it. If Chicago will see to it that only good men are elected to office it will not make any difference what kind of an adninistra- ton is at Washington. What is needed citywise is capable and honest officials and their attitude on the tar fir and currency question is of no inn portance.

Objection Made to Keeping Stores
 Open Fast Day.

Editor Herald;-Much unfavor- able criticism has been made in regard to the late edict of The Chamber of Commerce to open wide the various places of business on Good Friday and to close tight such days as New Years" "Columbus' day, etc. The public in general and many business men are loud in their complaints about the latter action of The Cham Der of Commerce. Of all holidays Fast Day should be observed above all
 Have the gentlemen of The Cham Der of Commerce no scruples in re- gard to any religious observance whatever? They tell the business men and their clerks to labor on the very day they should not do so.
 If canvas was made among the members themselves we would say that practically all would be more than pleased to close on this particu- lar day. The directors of The Cham bcr of Commerce have certainly made an error that is condemned by q great many of our citizens. Fruit, drug and cigar stores do not come under this plan so they are not to be blamed for opening on every holiday. The com- munity in general would welcome some real benefit that The Chamber of Commerce can do for at least d start.

Mathewson \ Scrmoi..
,Ncw York Press.)


 You may have noticed that Mr. Christy Mathewsun. the famous pitcher of the Giants, is coming into form and looks forward to another successful summer in his business or throwing baseballs for the New York club and the entertainment of New Workers.
 There is something to Dc learned from the career of this young man and old pitcher. He is orc Of many who have in various ways capitalized the recently grown American spirit of Let George do it. But MT. Mathewson's way Is more whole some than many others
 We Srudgingly take the trouble to elect governors, mayors legislative bodies, appoint commttces-and so on. Then we feel much annoyed when it develops that these men re- qnire some attention at our hands. We are too constantly looking for somebody else to do everything that we feel should be done instead of attending to it ourselves. We have even in thousands reached the point where We are welded to the idea of Nicarious excerise-and these huge concrete ball parks and highly paid ball players are the result. We would rather pay money to see some one else take outdoor exercise than do it ourselves.
 MT. Mathewson was naturally will ing that we should. He has gained springy muscles. bouyant health, an unfailing digestion and an cx- cellent income out of our fondness Tor watching others do what we should be doing. But MT. Mathew son is not entirely parasite. The next best thing to enthusiasm over your own outdoor sports is enthusi- asm over nnother's. The enthusiasm is net gain. The sunlight. the cheering, the tense interest. the glow of triumph-these are all physical and mental benefits. They are n greater good when they come in your own manly play. But they are good things even when we come by them vicariously

 Our many wants to fill: An unseen force which drives a car Wherever man doth will. A force which needs no fire,
 No smoke it's way to tell, No sizzling steam to puff and blow No gasoline to smell, No horse. no mule, no OK,
 Before the car we find, The car itself runs on ahead,
 The trolley trolls behind. Blest be the rails that tie
 The country and the town. The rails which all are free to ride Who pay their nickel down. 1 know that some may choose
 A jitney car to hail. But prefer to take a car Which runs upon the rail
