Trite Thoughts For
Busy People

Stand en- your own feet. You may
appear trife Wabbly at times. but
il Is better to 90 forward without too
many aids. Usually they get in ones
way and cause MIN to stumble.
Interference in a football game is
one Of the chief arts Of the game. II
is not credited with all glory, but i
Is a very effective part Of a football
contest. In the game Of life expect
interference and be prepared 70 dodge
it.
Il is one Of the striking things in
life that all men do not see alike, and
these who do not see invariably feel
it their duty to declare that others
are blind.
Their next important duty is to
stumble in the way of those who see
a goal ahead and are moving toward
it.
Organized Labor is not without this
opposition, which on the whole has
been beneficial, in that it has spurred
both the determined and the sluggish
10 more jealous action.
There are two kinds of opposition.
That which may be likened TO the
resistance Of the soil to the attraction
of the sun. and that which may be
likened to the cut-wOrm. Labor meets
both kinds Of opposition. 1t meets
the natural resistance of honest men
who are unconvinced, and it meets
the dishonest resistance of those
whose chief business is 10 live upon
the vitality Of Labor without giving
anything in return. These are the
cut-worms Of industry.
A man is in bad way when people
cease to speak we'll of him or to eX-
pect the best Of him. He is like a
stray dog whom nobody but boy
likes. There are stray dogs walking
the streets of every CITY. and there are
many men who are in the way of be
coming like them. About the only
place they can ever shine is in the
wilds. And to the wilderness they
turn.
The upward fight of Labor is a fight
for achievement, honor, distinction
and power, as well as for better wages
and working conditions. The ultimate
end of Organized Labor is to lift the
standards of the working man and to
WELD a benefcient power for good
among the nations of mankind.

WHEAT PRICES SCORE

Chicago, March 2S.-Owing large ly to an unexpected decrease of the amount of wheat on ocean passage, wheat prices here scored a material advance today during the early dealings.
 On the other hand, word that rains in Texas had broken the drought over a big section of the state tended at times to bring about considerable selling pressure on July and September deliveries. Init ial prices, which varied from the same as Saturdays finish to 1-4c. Higher, May 1.69 to 1.69 1-2, and July 1.45 S-4, were followed by up- turns with May reaching 1.71.
 Corn, after opening unchanged to 7-Sc, Higher, May 1.17 Is to 1.17- 3-S, reached we'll below Saturdays finish.
 Oats started at 1-sc, of to 1-4c. Up, May 45 1-2 to 45 5-S. Later the market kept mostly at a fractional decline.
 Provisions lacked support.

JOHN F. SWEENEY
 FOUND DEAD IN BED
Accumulated Fortune Through
 ShreWd Real Estate Deals

John F. Sweeney, we'll known in real estate circles and politics, was found dead in bed at his home, 1sa Fairview street, yesterday morning at ' o'clock. News of his death came as surprise although he had been suffering for long time from rheumatism. Of late he had been seen on the street occasionally but 1t was apparent that his health was failing. Upon the discovery of his death yesterday morning Medical Examiner John Purney was called and he pronounced death due to heart failure, which was hastened by the rheumatic ailment.
 Mir. Sweeney made himself con- spicuous for his unusual shrewdness in business transactions, especially those involving the transfer Of real estate. Some years ago he purchas- ed a row of houses on East Main street at a price which many New Britain residents thought was too high. Foreseeing that in the future Landers, Frary and Clark would have need of the property he made the purchase and later sold 1t to the concern, thereby realizing consid- erable sum of money. He also erect ed the building which stands be- tween the Palace theater and the Hanna block on Main street, oppo- site the old Burritt school. These and other projects which he car ried through beside conducting a store at the corner of Hartford avenue and Spring street, paved the way to the financial independence which he has enjoyed for a number of years.
 Mir. Sweeney was a worker for the interests of the Taxpayers associa- ton which a few years ago was the cause of considerable discussion. In this organization he was a fellow worker with the late Isadore Simons and the late P. s. McMahon.
 Mir. Sweeney was born in North Petersburg, N. Y, so years ago. He had been a resident of this city for many years. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Nicholas Crofts of North Mass; one brother, James Sweeney of Cleveland, Ohio, and two nephews, Edward Sweeney of Cleve- land, and Edward Crofts of New York.
 Funeral services will be held to- morrow morining at 7:45 o'clock at the church of St. John the Evan gelist, after which the body will be sent to skiticaugh, N. r., for burial.

HARP|sT TRIUMPHS
 WITH SYMPHONY
Miss Mary Magnell of This City : Given Hartford Ovation

Miss Mary Magnell. harpist, oI New Britain. was the guest soloist al the opening concert of the Hartford
 Symphony orchestra at the Capito theater in Hartford yesterday after
 noon. She was billed on the pro gram as "Hartford girl" evidentl,
 as . concession to the supposed pro iyincialism of Hartford audiences.
 Louis. Eaton was the guest con
 ductor, ably guiding the orchestra through Its first program with skill and yigor. The orchestra, composed of professional musicians from Hart ford and surrounding towns, made a splendid debut before an audience that filled the theater. H. E. Ander- son of New Britain. the city's star violinist, was among the first violins with his music rack behind that of the concert master.
 Miss Magnell enjoyed quite triumph at the concert. She was de- luged with flowers. the five large bouquets being about all she could carry. Her first number was an tIrish Rhapsody" by Pinto, with or thestra, which included many Irish folk tunes. Later She played four solos and an encore. 'Tarantelle." by Pinto, "Berceuse," by Ilinsky, "Bouree," by Bach. "Pastorale." by Bellotti and "The Jester," by serasta. In all of them she depicted the 1 moods in an exquisite manner, coal escing technique with feeling and emotion.
 The orchestra ought to mean de- cided advancement to the musical life of Hartford. Its fine playing was consistently applauded, and the entire band was required to stand upon several occasions to receive the iunstinted approval of its auditors. Few orchestras could have played ;,better at a first concert. Unlike or- .chestras in some of the smaller cities (which depend upon local profession slals entirely there were no necessary instruments missing. the 80 perform CTS including everything but such in- struments as the bass clarinet, bas- set horn. English horn and double bassoon.
 The program included the "Phe- dre" overture, by Massenet: the Unfinished Symphony" by schu- hert; "Silhouettes" by Hadley: ITO a Wild Rose," by Mcdowell; "The Butterfly" by Razek; Indian War Dance." by skilton, and "Fantasie Triomphalc" for orchestra and or gan, by Dubois.
 The pronounced melodic lines of the Massenet overture were read with charm and distinction, as was true of tho Schubert masterpiece. The Hadley number consisted of six characteristic racial styles-Spanish, French, Italian, American. Egyptian and Aflsh. They were of light tex lure shut sumptuously scored. The Butterfly piece was buzzing whirl by the strings, such as Schubert ori- .ginathd with his violin piece known as The Bee" The Indian War ,Dance." from one of the most not able bnites written by an American, was an orgy of percussional ponder

osity. In the final Dubois selection the organ lacked the requisite spirit, the rapid passages being inevitably muddled in effect, as is common with
 organs. But in fortissimi passages the combination of the two big in- struments nearly lifted the roof with
 power of tone.
