 SUICIDE VICTIM

 grieve. Phone SIS.

Litchfield, May 2-Guy Beatty, 58, a resident of Litchfield for sev- eral years, died early Sunday after noon from bullet wounds in his right temple and abdomen, that were self-infiicted, according to Medical Examiner Dr. Harry B. Hanchett, of Torrington. Though neighbors after hearing shots fired, investigated and summoned Dr. John Kilgus, of Litchfield and the ambulance from Torrington, the man was dead be- fore the arrival of the ambulance.
 MT. Beatty, who lived on West street, had not been seeen by neigh bors during the morning and ap- parently had not left his home be- fore inf1icting the wounds that caused death. His act was ascribed by friends to ill health which over- took him following the death of his wife in March, 1887.
 Investigating for trie police were Deputy Sheriff James J. Drury and state police from Canaan barracks.
 MT. Beatty is survived by a son, Ernest, now student at Duke uni- versity, Durham. N. c. Funeral ar- engagements are incomplete.

WORKERS AND MACHINES

The theory that machinery is to blame
for unemployment and other economic ills
is declared to be an utter fallacy by Dr.
Robert A MilIikan, famed president of the
California Institute of Technology, who
says that only the creation of new ma
chimes and new products can solve their
economic problems.
He points out that the standard of liv-
ing in any country is determined by the
total quantity of goods and services pro-
duced. which means that the use of more
science, and consequently more machines.
is necessary to raise this standard. Com
pairing what American wages will buy as
compared with those of some other ma
tions, DIR. Millikan says:
THE American wage worker gets IT.
times as much buying power for an hours
work as does the worker in Great Britain,
1872 times as much as the Swedish or Dutch
worker, 30 as much as the German work
er, and more than times as much as the
worker in other parts of Europe, outside
of Russia, where the average buying pow
er of wages IS perhaps less than one-tenth
of what it is here"

On March II, ST. Patrick's day IS cele-
brated as the national festival Of Ireland
and its observance is more or less general
among Irishmen and their descendants
throughout the world. The date is said to
be that of st. Patrick's death, but even the
year is not known, although it is thought
TO have been about 400 A. d.
Three noted Patricks are said to have
flourished in Ireland during this period,
and accounts concerning them are so OBJ
scure and confusing as to cause some
doubts as to whether ST. Patrick was
real or only legendary parsonage.
According to tradition, however, st.
Patrick was born in Britain and played an
important part in introducing Christianity
into Ireland, after six years in slavery into
which he was sold by hostile Scots, who
abducted him at the age of about 16.
Finally making his escape, he decided
to devote his life to the conversion of the
Irish. His mission as priest began about
the years 425, and he became a bishop
about AL His ministry is said to have been
attended with much success, hence his
designation as IreIand's patron saint, al
though not an Irishman himself.

To you this poem you inspired.
When, on your graduation day.
BY all of us you were admired?
We felt so honored to be there.
To hear the music that you
played,
And all felt certain in eur minds,
You quite deserved the grade
you made.
In truth, you made picture rare,
With your fair beauty and your

Among all your companions there.
You looked much like a fairy

With eager ear and wide-open
mouth,
We listened to you in a trance;
Our eyes intent on your skilled

That brought forth such sweet
conSonance.
May you continue TO succeed
In all you set your heart upon,
And may your name IN fame arise
To one in music paragon.

Prices enjoyed bulge in the fore
noon when the trading pace was

many were around top marks at the
close. Transfers approximated l.
600 900 shares.
Besides the aviation section. mo-
tors, rubberS, Steels and Specialties
along with selected rails attracted
buying interest.
The fact that year-end shifting of
commitments for the income returns
generally was taken in stride did
much to encourage recovery forces
and some who had been waiting for
more substantial reaction were
said to have stepped back on the
purchasing side. In addition busi-

cheerful and foreign affairs SEEM
ingly were less painful marketwise.

Postal Receipts Soar
To An-Time Peak
For November
D. &. Total Is Boosted
22.6 Per Cent Ahead
Of Same 1887 Month
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Receipts at the Washington City
Post Office during November estab-
lished an all-time record for that
month, registered particularly
good gain over November, 1887, and
pushed the figures for the first II
months of this year far ahead of the
corresponding period last year, it
was announced today.
November postal receipts in the
Capital totaled s770,85929, in COM
parison with s631 ,517.39 a year ago,
a sharp upturn of $139, ,34190, or
22.6 per cent. In smashing the No
vember records, receipts were also
the largest of any month this year.
In the first II months of 1888
receipts at the City Post Office
reached the sum of $6,S27 ,625 .96, in
comparison with S6,493 ,99923 in the
same 1887 period, it was learned to-
day. This was a gain of $3.50, ,62673,
or 5.13 per cent.
Both the November report and
the summary for the longer period
are highly gratifying to postal Off
cials. The sharp November increase
followed a substantial gain in Octo-
ber, when revenues were also the
best on record for that month. The
gain over the same month last year
was $85, 1897, or 1855 per cent.
Trade Upturn Reflected.
November was the fourth success
sive month in which previous in
come figures had been exceeded
The September receipts made history
by a gain of $1,000 over Septem-
ber, 1887, or 1916 per cent better
than in the previous year. The Wig
orous advances ended all misgivings
as to the years final results.
The November report indicates a
trade upturn in the Capital that is
unmistakable, as postal receipts are
always considered one of the best
oarometers of general business con-
ditions. From present indications,
December receipts will make another
impressive showing and lift the 1888
total still higher above the 1887
mark.
Postal receipts in the first IL
months of 1888 compare as follows
with the corresponding months in
