One Hand Cut Of 40 Years Ago,
 J.B. Madden Pursues Activities
 Almost Unconscious of Handicap
Victim of Pre-Labcr Lcgis- lation Days Nears Anni- yersary of Accident at Local Factory.

July 29. 1SS9,,- the 40th anniVer- is a day long to be remembered by J. B. Madden of 15 Winthrop street, for it was on that day that a 60O- pound hammer dropped on him, chopping off his hand and placing him perilously near death from loss of blood. The accident happened in the Stanley Works.
 In the 4o years which have cIaps- ed, MT Madden, who is one of the best known of this city's residents, has shown what a person handi- capped with the loss of an important member can do with proper deter imitation. Three months after his accident he left New Britain Gen eral hospital and returned 10 work in the Stanley Works where he con tinucd in employment for IS years. He has taken and creditably filled positions of various sorts since that time and, excepting where posses sion of two hands is absolutely es- scntial. he has worked on almost unconscious of his great loss. To- day. Mr. Madden goes through hIs daily activities, more cheerful and efficient than thousands of his fel- loWmcn who have never known physical misfortune.
 MT. Madden was q victim of the days which preceded labor lesis,d ton and the compensation act, Had he suffered the accident today, his employer would be required by law to write him a check for approXi mately S5.000, defray surgical and hospital bills, and otherwise com pensate him for his loss. In those days, an increase from $1.35 q day 10 S1.45 was the silver lining in his dark cloud

TWO-CENT

TWO.CENT POSTAGE
Climaxing q century Of postal prog
ress. the rates on letters was reduced
to 2 cents in the United States on
Oct. 10. 1883.
The first federal law on postage In
the United States was passed in 1892
and set the rate at 6. g.. 10. Is, II. 20.
~. and Is cents for distances Of 80,
60, 100. $50. 200, $50. $50, o. 400 miles,
respectively. for single letters. The
law defined Q single letter as q single
sheet or piece OF paper.
The earliest letters consisted of
single sheets Of paper folded and adj
dressed upon the sheet. An envelope
would have subjected them to double
postage.
Postal stamps were first issued at
New York In 1917: stamped envelopes
were first issued in 1853; letters were
first registered in 1855; free city de-
livery was established in 1863. ana
money orders were first issued in
1864.
TWO years after the 2-cent letter
postage went into effect the post
office department inaugurated the
special delivery system, and the rural
delivery first began in 1896.

Shooting at a Toothache

A workineman IN the town Of Santander, Spain, awoke
the other night with q toothache. He paced the floor for
q While, cursed in elegant Spanish. and did the other
things that toothachc victims do; but all were futile. SO,
at last, he got out his revolver, stuck it into his mouth
ana shot the offending tooth to kingdom come-inci-
dentally inflicting a grievous wound in his cheek.
The reporter who wrote the cable dispatch describing
this Incident remarked that this spaniard had more
courage than most sufferers with toothache. And that is
a statement with which we would like to take issue.
II a toothache is bad enough the sufferer viii do any,
thing. How many Of Us have not. at times, reached the
stage where We would gladly use q revolver on the Offend
ing member? Many or most Of us, beyond q doubt.
There are two maladies that lift q man bevond himself.
toothache and seastckness. The spaniard's action is per.
fcctly understandable.
