Pennsylvania ave rue will be cleared of all vehlcles.street cars and pedestrians at 9 o'clock by an order issued by the superintendent of jiolice today. Whits House Farewells. The most affertlmr of all the fare wells at the White House was when the president called all the clerks, messen rers and other attaches of his execu tive staff into his office late today. He made a few remarks, telling them how irroatly he appreciated the way they had assisted him in the seven years of his administration. Both he and they, he declared, had worked in common for the welfare of the nation, and both had done their best. He wished them all farewell and rood luck. Thon ha shook linnd.s with each of them.

It fair, cool and pleasant, as has been predicted, the ceremony on the stand in front of the capitel will be prolonged in order that the audience ir. attendance upon the I.roceedings within the senate cham ber may make its way through the r arrow corridors to the Inaugural stand in time to see Mr. Tat take the ath of office and hear him deliver liis inaugural address. In event of rain Mr. Tan will immediately take the oath and begin his address, which, in ail probability, would be materially shortened. Today's Progran-.me. The programme for the day has been carefully prepared. From to 9.30 a. Hi., cabinet officers, tlie Joint inaugural committees of the senate and house, and others, will assemble at the White Jiouse, and at ten o'clock the start for the capitol will be made by the pres ident, president-elect, committees, cab IneV arid other officials. Because of the fact that there will be veterans In the parade, the hour fixed for ar rival at the capitol has been extended to 10.45 a. rn. During the morning hours congress win have been in ses sion, and it has been agreed thatvthe business of the senate shall conclude at 10.45 wbh a recess will be taken for one-half "hour. The families of the (resident, president-elect, vice presi dent and vUe president-elect axe ex pected to take seats in the family gal lery at 11.10.

At 12.35 the vie presi.'ent will di rect the sergeant at arms to execute the order of the senate frr the inaug uration. President-elect Taft and oth er distinguished guests on the floor of the senate will occupy about fifteen minutes In reaching the inaugural stid, but probably half an hour will be consumed by the occupants of the ..galleries in reachiag the stand.

Washington, Mttrob. 8. It was two In ni mm B&aa S ductule Umizlxt vhma THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE LAST TIME. William Howard Taft and Mrs. Taft stepped from their automobile, in a driving rain, and entered the White House for the night, to make it their home for the next four years. There was no demonstration whatever mark ing the arrival ot the new teaant of the executive mansion. He was ad mitted by the attendants and with Mrs. Taft went at onco to the private por tion of the house, where President and Mrs. Roosevelt received their guests with the simple cordiality and lack of ceremony wrich long intimate acquain tance have eestablished. That the president-elect and Mrs. Taft are quartered at the White House tonight is due to the thoughtfulness of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, who, re alizing the convenience of such an ar rangement, extended their hospitality. White House Dinner Guests. Besides the president-elect and Mrs. Taft, the White House dinner guests Included Senator-elect Root and Mrs. Root; Senator Knox, who is to be Mr. Tart's secretary of state, and Mrs. Knox; Representative Nicholas Long worth and Mrs. Longworth, daughter of the president; Admiral and Mrs. Cowles, and Miss Mabel Boardman. The dinner, which was late in its com mencement, was prolonged unusually, but in anticipation of the strenuous day tomorrow, Mr. Taft found the ar rangemnts of his hosts permitted of a reasonably early retirement, and betook himself for the night toi the southeast bed chamber, constructed out of the offices which were occupied by Presi dent McKinley, being the southeast corner of the second floor or tne oia building. A Day Filled With Personal Incidents. Like President Roosevelt, Mr. Taft had a day filled with personal incidents. The Boardman residence, where he has made his home since his arrival in the city last Saturday, filled up early with callers, and the demands of friends and politicians on theitime of the incoming president were greater than he has ex perienced since his election. The pur pose of most of the callers, however, was to extend good wishes. It was just getting dark and the rain w as coming down in cold torrents when Mr. Taft heard the strains of "Home, Sweet Home." by a brass band. He ran down the stairs and out of doors from the Boardman residence without his hat. As he had anticipated, there was the Citizens' Taft club of Cincin nati, a hundred strong. Foul Weather Friends the Best. fiive me the friends of foul weather rather than those of fair weather," was his cheery greeting to his fellow townsmen, who cheered him lustily. A handshake and a cheery word of rec ognition to each man. was given, as a line was formed which passed with rapidity under the portico where Mr. Taft had taken his position. This was the first greeting to the Cincinnati friends of Judge Taft. They are-to partake of lui.cheon with-. President Taft at the White House tomorrow afternoon. Incoming President Meets Old Class mates. The Yale class of '78, of which Mr. Taft is a proud member, had their in ning with the president-elect this aft ernoon. He drove downtown, met them in the rain and proceeded to the his toric steps of the navy department building, where all posed for a group picture. After his dinner Mr. Taft found time to go to the Willard hotel for a few minutes to be cheered by his old classmates, who were holding a smoker. The news of the day so far as ap pointments are concerned was summed up in the statement by Mr. Taft that Beekman Winthrop, who recently de clined the position of the assistant sec retary ot state, had' accepted the sec ond place in the navy department, where he will be assistant secretary after March 4. Willis Moore, chief of the United States weather "bureau, sent Mr. Taft a telegram tonight telling him'- that tlie weather tomorrow in Washington would be tlear and cold. This was re ceived with evidences of decided ap preciation by 'Mr. Taft on account of the steady downpour throughout the day and evening. PRESIDENT-ELECT FE'.LS THAT HE WILL MAKE GOOD Hopes to Be Able to Stand Just Criti cism 'Doesn't "Care a Durn" for Un just Criticism. Washington. March 8. "I felt in all my bones and nerves the disposition to 'make good,' declared President-elect Taft, tonight, in addressing about 700 Yale alumni, at their smoker. "I hope with nerve to be able to stand Just criticism and to improve by it, and not to 'care a durn' for unjust criticism." Rousing College Cheer. The appearance of Mr. Taft was the signal for long applauss, followed by z. rousing college cheer. "The spirit of Yale," he said, "is the spirit of democracy, every man doing his best and if he does this having the support of every other Yale man. That is all I ask for." He was greeted with loud shouts of "No" when he said there had been Yale men before him who would have teen able to fill with more credit than himself the office upon which he is about to enter. About to Enter Upon Perilous Journey ''Many circumstances have worked together to place me where I am," he aid. "There is much luck in the com ing of opportunities to man. I am glad however to have drawn a lucky num ber. I am about to enter upon one of the most perilous Journeys any man in our country can enter upon. Great obstacles can tie met by the observ ance of common -sense, couraije, the sense of proportion and the absence of wellheadism which principles are ir.eulc.ated at Yale, xae disposition to meet each oifficulty as it arises will accomplish what ought to he done. A man ought not to put himself in the attitude of fearing these difficul ties but have the courage to meet them as they come. That is my hope. If it proves otherwise men t will not ttave 'made good.'" You'll Make Good!" This -mrau -reeted hv ahouts of "Yon'K make good!"

HartHord, March 3. The continua tion of the hearing on the automobile measures before the house was resum ed again today and while there are a lew who favor radical changes in the law which is at present on the books the gryat majority in the discussion seemed to be united on how best to set the present law enforced. The at tendance was not as large aa it was yesterday, but it included a number of members of the different granges throughout the state, who had their grievances against the automobiles to rtRister. The first matter taken up was that regarding the senate bill introduced by Senator Reed and entitled "concern ing reKistration, numbering, use, speed of motor vehicles, and the licensing of operators of such vehicles." Senator Reed explained wherein the measure was different from the state law at present.. It aimed, he stated, to exercise a greater deterrent effect on those who are inclined to drive cars at a reckless pace through the roads. He desired to have a measure enacted which would cause the forfeiture of licenses entirely under certain condi tions. The measure also wipes out the one-eltrhth mile clause as evidence in regard to speed. There were no other speakers heard In favor of the bill. R. J. Woodruff of New Haven ap peared in regard to the present law. He wanted to have it amended so as to allow prosecutors to more easily secure convictions. Mr. Stoddard, representing the Bridgeport Automobile club, spoke in favor of an amendment to the present law, allowing local authorities to per mit races upon the public highways. He went on record as being opposed to the taxation of persons coming into the state from other states and thought it would be a very bad thing. Former Representative Allerton of Middlebury stated that he was op-, posed to fixing an arbitrary rate for a speed law and thought that no such law could be enforced as carried to an arbitrary limit. A measure doubling the fees for au tomobile licenses was then taken up. This was favored by Mr. Duffv of West Hartford. He thought that the reason why the roads are so quickly destroyed is because the automobiles go over them at such a high rate ef speed, and he thought that the fees should be doubled in order to provide a fund for the reimlr of the roads. He slated that the grange which he rep resented is in favor of doubling the fees. Mr. Piatt, of Milford said he believed the law must be made more specific to secure enforcement. He was not in favor of speed traps, but thought that women who are driving on the public' roads are not safe under pres ent condition. William H. Gibney of New Britain was of the opinion that the automo biles are allowed to go too fast and that the roads are being unnecessarily destroyed. Mr. Duffy of West Hartford, In an swer to a remark by Mr. Piatt of Mil ford, that the drivers of cars do not stop when people in carriages hold up their hands, or when policemen want them to, said that i a few shots were fired at them they would stop readily enough. Walter S. Schutz of Hartford said that the previous speakers had emit ted that about 75 per cent, of the au toists are all right, and he called at tention that there is about the same per cent, of law-abiding citizens in every matter which is -punishable. He thought that most of the violations come from the small towns, where there is little or no attempt made to enforce the law, and that where there i3 a lax enforcement many people will naturally try to evade the law. He made the suggestion that the state police be asked to assist in the enforcement of the law. He further called attention to the fact that there have been so few cases of violations of the law reported to the secretary of state and if that phase of the law was carried out there would have been a very much better condition f af fairs throughout the state. He also favored an amendment to the present law to the effect that where the view is obscured for one hundred feet that autolsts should drive on the right hand side of the road. This practically closed the hearing. SIX TROLLEY CARS PILED UP ON A STEEP DOWN GRADE. One Man Killed, Ten Persons Injured at Dorchester. Boston, March 3.

The Observance Of Sunday HEARING IN SENATE CHAMBER AT HARTFORD. MAYORS AND CLERGYMEN SPEAK. Measure Not Intended to Break Down the Puritan Sunday -Baseball Play ing Salo' of Soda and Ice Cream. Hartford, Conn., March 3. The sen ate chamber was crowded and the gal leries well filled, many -women being in the audience, today, when the leg islative committee on judiciary took up at the state capitol for hearing the bill on Sunday observance which pro vides for the sale of any article of food, soda water, ice cream and con fectionery or newspapers, before 10 o'clock Sunday mornings, and between 4 and 6.30 in the afternoon, and also allows b$- permission of the local au thorities baseball games on Sunday where no admission is charged. For and Against the Bill. Mayors of several cities spoke for the bill, and clergymen from Hartfoi J and New Haven opposed it. The hear ing consumed the greater part of the afternoon, and at its close, late in the day, it was continued tor two weeks. Mayor Hooker of Hartford opened the hearing, stating that the measure was not intended to break down the Purl tan Sunday, but rather aimed at a leg islative interpretation of Sunday ob servance. He 'said it would allow a man to go somewhere else besides to church on Sunday, would give him a chance to spend- the day in the open air, and would do much toward keeping the young men and older persons out of mischief or worse. Baseball for Factory Workers. The bill did not aim at legalizing professional baseball, but would allow those persons who had been shut up in facTories all week a chance to get into a healthy and enjoyable game. There was no idea of commercialism in the measure. But baseball was not the sole idea, he said, for if It was the iaiue woujd be divided on that point, and if a man wanted to be elected mayocall he would have to do would be to run on a baseball platform and he would be unanimously elected. All Men Do Not Want to Attend Church. He poke of the conditions in the congested and tenement districts of Hartford, and said the provision of the bill would be for the people living there in the nature of works of neces sity and mercy, because it would allow them to procure on Sunday morning the necessaries of life. With the sum mer coming on and the promised, hih prices of ice, the por people would not be in a position to 'buy ice to pre serve the food-tuffs they would other wise be compelled to buy on Saturday, and would not consequently have as wholesome food. He believed in going to church, went every Sunday himself once at least, and oftener if lie felt especially good. But all men did not want to go to church, and he would provide some cller avenufs for them on Sunday. Sunday Evening Movina Picture Shows He referred to the moving picture shows given on Sunday evenings and said in most cases the pictures and songs were of an indifferent nature. but that in one case at a performance which he attended to find1 out what the shows were like there had been one picture which was distinctly elevating in cnara.cT.er ana wmcn taught the sanctity of the home, and it was that picture which the audience had an- plauded vigorously. The attendants at sucn snows, he said, were usually for eigners who could not understand the English language and he thought tlfat if the churches would take hold ot these moving picture exhibitions and put on moral and" elevating .pictures there was a chance to preach sermons every Sunday nisht to thousands of people. Mayor Landers Favored the Bill. Mayor Landers of New Britain. speaking in favor of the bill, endorsed what Mayor Hooker had said and add ed that conditions in New Britain were similar to those in Hartford. Mayor Dunn of Wllllmantie said that the mayors' association had considered the bill carefully and were favorable to it Seventh Day Adventist View. A memorial from the Southern New England Seventh Day Adventists was presented to the committee urging that no Sunday legislation be enacted and taking the ground that any such ac tion was against the constitutional guarantees of religious liberty. Pastor Tullar Against the Measure. Rev. E. C. Tullar of New Haven, representing the district superinten dent of the Kew York East confer ence of the 'Methodist Episcopal church and about 75 preachers under the dis trict superintendent, spoke against the measure. Present Law Sufficient, Says Rev. Dr. Dent. Rev. Dr. Dent of Hartford said be was opposed to tho bill personally and as the representative of the federation of churches in Hartford. 25 in number. He said the mayors who had spoken reflected on themselves their local governments and their judiciary and had admitted that they had come to a place where they could not govern themselves. He claimed that the measure savored of paternalism and to destrey local option in all the mat ters it referred to. It was Juvenile and childish in its nature. He be lieved that the various local govern ments should be allowed to deal with such matters in the light of local con ditions. A uniform set of regulations would be of value only when there were uniform conditions demanding such. The present law. he said, was sufficient and he believed the les specifications made the better.

Mayor Dunn of Wlllimantic and Representative Guil ford Smith, his colleague, who is pres ident of the board or 'trustees of the St. Joseph's hospital in Wlllimantic, appeared before the Joint committee on humane institutions this nfternoon in behalf of the resolution introduced by the latter which makes a state ap propriation to the hospital.

There is a bill of that nature before the committee but Judge Walsh said tnat the measure now in hand did not cover the situation fully and promised to submit another to the committee. He said he regretted that there was a need for any sucn bill but the need seemed to exist.

There is a growing sentiment In town in favor of making some arrange, ment foT the establishment and tnainr taining of a free bed in the Day-Kimball hospital at Putnam. Of the sur rounding towns that receive benefits for patients, without cost, from the institution mentioned, Killingly during the past year was close to the top of the list. For comparative purposes the following figures from the report of the superintendent of the hospital, showing how towns have benefited, are of inter est in considering the matter: Brook lyn, 46 days' care; Eastford, 1 patient, 3 days; Thompson, 13 patients, 265 days: Killingly, 12 patients. 193 days; Jewett City, 2 patients, 59 days; Pom fret, 10 patients, 122 fVvys: Putnam, 24 patients, 488 days: Woodstock, 8 pa tients, 199 days. The figures cover a period of a year. Of the towns mentioned above Put nam, Thompson maintain a free bed for residents of those towns and a free bed is provided for needy patients through the generosity of several resi dents of Pomfret. Killingly, receiving a good share of the free service that the hospital is enabled to give, is out ranked by the other towns in Mberallty towards the only hospital in this end of the county. It Is hoped that some plan may be devised that will bring to a satisfac tory solution the matter of providing a free bed and place Killingly on a basis of liberality commensurate with the benefits received.

Special Attorney Charles I Torrey prosecuting for the state at this terra of the Windham, county superior court nas estaousned a hi?h speed record for handling the criminal cases that were expected to occupy all of this neek by clearing up the excessive amount of criminal business in two cays, and when court adiourned at S o'clock Wednesday all but seven of me rorty cases, these to go over until the next term, had 'been disposed of. Short calendar will go over until March 9 (Tuesday). Assignment of cases will be made on Friday at 10.30, Cleric Warner having been so nott fied by Judge Curtis. There were some surpH.es in the cases that came up Wednesday as well as some interesting developments. Jail for William Carpenter. William Carpenter a. minor, of Wil llmanoc, charged with breaking and entering, on two counts, at the store of Giraca Brothers in Willimantic. pleaded guilty to the first count and was sentenced to one year in Jail. The second count was nolled.. The police captured carpenter on his second visit to the store. Tlie young man was on parole from the Concord reformatory at the time. Attorney A. G. Bill was assigned to Carpenter. Dio Gets a Year. Joseph Dio of Putnam, Attorney W. B. Harvey of Willimantic assigned as counsel, was sentenced to one year in Jail. Dio was charged with an attempt to murder and attempted burglatry and wilful injury to private property, at the home of Randolph Bullard of Putnam, and was bound over from the Putnam city court on October 24, 1908. The trial of the case was begun, but after one witness. R. H. Bullard had testified, and it was demonstrated that the charge of attempted murder could not be proved, the count was nolled. Dio pleaded guilty to injury to the property and was sentenced by Judge Curtis. $75 Pine for Victor Peloquin. Victor Peloquin of Willimantic was fined $"5 after entering a plea of guil ty on the charge of Illegal sale of liquor. The case came from the Wil limantic police court where Peloquin pleaded not guilty, was found guilty and a fine of $56.06 Imposed Attor ney G. W. Melony of Willimantic ap peared for Mr. Peloquin.

Attorney Brad ford of Putnam was assigned 'by the court in this case. RYALL AND HUGHES. Cases Nolled Surprise of Wednesday's Session.

The surprise of the day earns when the cases of Thomas Ryall and James Hughes of Danielson were nolled. The men were chsrged on four counts with breaking and entering. The only wit ness of any importance that the state would have been able to introduce against them was Willie Rvali, the 9 year old son of one of the prisoners. Willie furnished the information to the police that led to the arrest of the father and Hughes, and told how he had been taken along to assist in the breaks. In the opinion of Special At tory Torrey. however the evidence of the boy was not sufficient to warrant the belief that a conviction could be secured Rnd consequently he recom mended to the court that the cases be nolled. SHAME OR CUNNING? Charles E. Ferguson of New Haven Mystifies Court. In the person of Charles Edward Ferguson, the court was called to pass upon a case unusual and interesting in certain aspects. Ferguson was charg ed with breaking and entering the house of Aledia E. Weavers on Janu ary 2 of this year. He was captured while trying to escape from the house and has since been held at the Jail In Brooklyn. He has been one of the tnly two prisoners to plead euflty at the first opportunity, seemingly seek ing no possible opportunity to secure release. Ferguson's later attitude to wards the court, which sought to show him leniency brings him into the lime light as a man of interesting person ality, perhaps of nvjch honor and may be unusual cunning. There Is not a tingle characteristic of the criminal in his makeup. He is tall, about fortv vears of age, with the hallmarks of the honest working man uron him. He ehrank from the Inquisitive eyes of the court audience and outwardly mani fested the shame that had come upon him. So striking were these outward appearances, that Judge Curtis was evidently impressed with- tiie possi bility of Ferguson's misfortune and commenced an inquiry into Ferguson's last. Bit by bit the Judg was able to learn the few things that Ferguson v-as willing to relate. The prisoner said he was a e- Haven man, a teamster and sawmill mplove. He left that city two weeks before the new year to seek for badly needed em ployment, went to Providence, then to Danielson. everywhere failing to get work. The last place he called was at the new dam, across the Quinebaug, ntflr rMtnn'c hrM.a n.ntl.... sent him on his way, and he walked i'j oiooKiyn, wnere, worn out, tired, cold and hungry, he had sought ref- iiita from 1 ha .A! rl Kv trance to the Weaver house. i ears dimmed Ferguson s eyes when he snoke of an nM m,tl,.. k. -trn and two littlo nhiirt New Haven, to whom ha has not writ ten since iour days before-his arrest. More than thia tWmnn nmi be induced to tell. Even in a private conference with Prosecutor Torrey, Ferguson would not consent to give the address of his relatives if under the promise that should his statements be verified he would be leniently dealt with.

At the end of twelve weeks of sched uled games In the Eastern Connecticut duckpin league, and with six weeks more to g-o, Captain Bliven's Weaterly team No. 1 Is leading the league, with the Norwich Warriors, under Captain Julian Harris rigrhu after them. The Warriors are going .t a fast clip and any slips now toy Bliven's men will give the Norwich five a chance to win out In the homestretch. The Westerly leaders are' the only team that has played cut lis full schedule of 36 games to last Monday night, so that total pinfalls do not compare well at the present time, but on averages we get a- line on the roll ing of the teams to date. As shown In the complete figures given below for the six teams. Westerly No. 1 has a lead of 7 pins and a fraction with Nor wich Warriors second, the teams show ing in this order on team averages: Westerly No. 1, 462 1-3; Norwich Warriors, 406 3-S3; New London No. 2 442 2-33; New Loudon No. 1, 433 SS-SS; Westerly No. 2, 431 11-M; Nor wich No. 1, 423 4-30. Westerly's big record team total of 1310 accounts in a large measure for their Mg aver age and will be a hard thing for the other fellows to beat out Individual Leaders. Of the individual high averages. Clarke of Westerly has 97 1-3, but this is only for three games. Kennedy, a new man on Norwich No. 1, shows the good average of S6 6-8 in 9 games, but Bliven of Westerly No. 1 is the real leader with 96 3-36. Harris of the Norwich Warriors comes next with 92 32-3. then Hnldsworth of Westerly No. with 93 8-36.

Recovery in Latter Part of the Day Did Not Hold. New Tork.March 3. It was a day of small things In the stock market, and the meagre business came almost entirely from professional operators. The traders who had bought stocks yesterday on a rising suale up to the clcee of the day were somewhat dis concerted over a number of develop ments which confronted them when they started business today. They un loaded their light holdings as a con sequence with some precipitancy. While this selling was light the de mand was even lighter ami the result was rather violent breaks in prices. The professionalism of the market was demonstrated by the suddenness with which extreme dulness followed the completion ot this selling of the trad ers. Finding no Influential following for the hasty selling, they f-ni over their fright and re-purr-ha-ed the stocks sold earlier, thus working the price recovery of the laUor part of the day, which, however, did not hold. A sudden drop in the price of copper warrants in London received more at tention than did the renewed claims of further large sales of refined copper In New Tork. A good effect was pro duced in the latter part of the day by the announcement of the placing of the year's orders for steel rails bv the New Tork Central system. The recov ery proved unstable, however, and prices slipped back and made a weak closing. The low prices realized at yesterday's sale of New Tork city cor porate stock compared with the sale in November had a slightly chilling ef fect on the bond market. The tone was irregular, and there was less ac tivity than of late. Total sales, par vrlue, $4,320,000. United etates bonds v. 're unchanged on call. STOCKS. Blsu.

Abe and Collins Each Get Fall 'Then Bout Goes to a Draw Called Off at 12 o'Clock. At the Bijou theatef In Westerly on Wednesday eight, Abe the Newsboy of New London and Bill Collins, the Cen tral Village strong man, put up the greatest wrestling contest ever seen in the burg, going at a fierce gait and with much rough work for two hours and 50 minutes, which brought them up to midnight, when Referee Jack McGrath of Norwich enforced the us ual rules and stopped the bout, de claring it a draw. Each man had one fall to his credit when the bout stop- The star bout followed a preliminary of a half-hour In which Winn, the In dian, of New London, got one fall in 17 minutes 45 seconds from Salvey of New Haven. The star event began at 9.10 and put the house into an uproar as the two wrestlers struggled for the mastery with all the strength and science they had. Abe secured the advantage of the first fall, flopping Collins in 35 minutes with a full-nelson. After a rest Collins forced the fighting and bore Abe shoulders down in the end of 27 minutes 35 seconds with a head lock from which the Newsboy could not escape. For the balance of the time neither could get a fall. Both were warned for rough work as their tempers got hot and the crowd kept clamoring for a fall, but neither could pull the other down before the clock reached 12, when the referee stopped the bout. For another meeting to settle the question of supremacy, a $100 bet was made by J. G. Briggs, backing Col lins, with Charles Peterson, Abe's manneer OPEN HOUSE BASKETBALL.

Zeller, the new owner and manager of the Springfield baseball club, gives out the following in the Springfield Republican of what will be doing when the practice season opens in Spring field: On the state at present are the fol lowing: Pitchers, Parker, Luby, Mc Lean, Porray, Zaaratkey and McDufHe; catchers, Connor, Hirst, Cahill and Whiting; first base, Zeller; second base, Collins; shortstop, Pinkerton or Burns; third base, Mulcay and Scan Ion of Brightwood; outfield. Rising, Wr.ite, Maggert and Peloquin of South bridge. Joe Connor is practically sure of catching, but the other catchers are not Hirst may be sent to another club. Whiting is a trifle young for league ban and may not be used. One other backstop, not on the list new, with Conner look lhVe the backstopplng end. There are half a dozen pitchers on the book, with Parker, McLean and Luby as veterans. A left-hander is to be signed. Jawn Hess belongs to Nashville and will in all probability not be with Springfield the coming season. 'MoDuffle pitched a few games witif Worcester last year. He is worth a trial. In the infield Tale will be replaced at first by Zeller. Collins, the craak from Haverhill, will get second base, and Scanlon of Brightwood will be tried out at third- A deaf mute named Mul say from Brooklyn has been so highly recommended by Tom Daly, the old Brooklyn star, that tSpringfleld will give him a chance. Mulcay Is a six footer who In addition to being com petent in a baseball way is believed ti be somewhat of a sprinter. What will be done with M-cAndrews is one of the unsettled problems. The veteran out. field will be back again and Nelson Peloquin of 43outhbrid'ga will be give a a show. Peloq-uin is a good hitter and has done well with the semi-professionals. Of course be will have to hustle to beat out any of the old men, but as he has shown up so well the past two or three years it has been thought best to look him over. BURNS WVSNT BEATEN. But It Was Coming to Him Britt Says Police Stepped in Too Soon. James Edward Britt, the native son from the coast, who is cutting a wide path xln England, has given his Im pression of the Burns-Johnson fight pictures to London Sporting Life. Britt says that the Canadian was strong and going; fast when the police interfered. He says; "The rounds axe very much the same .Burns always trying and ag gressive end Johnson waiting and con fident. The film is always clear and distinct and free from vibration. Ev ery movement of both men can toe easily followed. The battle can b aptly described as too much Johnson, in that Johnson was too big and strong for his lighter opponent. "In all other department of the game, however. Burns vas the equal of the big black, and had they been equal in size I do not hssltate to say it might have ended differently. Con tsarv to general reports, the films dis closed the fact that, although beaten, Burns was not outclassed. At the time of the police interference Burns was strong, although taking consider able punishment; he could have con tinued indefinitely, or at least have fin. iehed the twenty rounds. "It was early apparent, though, that barring a knockout Burns had not much chance to win. To sum it up briefly, It was more Johnson's slse and strength that made his victory possi ble than superior fighting ability. "Seated at the National Sporting club, watching the gallant stand made by Burns, the smaller man, I instantly thought what might have happened had Johnson been fighting with, a man of his own size and weight. "Suppose, for instance, it had been Jeffries?" "After seeing these pictures I feel safe in predicting that if Jeff is half as good as he was when he retired he would have no trouble in beating Johnson. "These pictures are sure to convince the public more than anything else that Jeff need have no fear of the big darky should he finally decide to re enter the ring." NOTES OF SPORT.

PRESIDENT TAFT. The whole country takes oft Its hat to President William H. Taft today, ths man who will take the helm of the old ship of state and direct her course through calm waters if It is possible, but who will lay her course and make ths port of Destiny whether the seas run high or the winds whistle, or the lights are all extinguished along the coasts. He has already offensively (to some) hobnobbed with the south-and estab Ushed pleasing personal relations, he has called the negroes his "colored fellow cltlsens," and he has declared 3.1s belief that historians within two decades will rank Roosevelt as sec ond f no president this country has ever knewnr except Washington and XJncoln, giving him third place In rank among our great presidents. In all af this he has foreshadowed that he Is of full presidential. size that he Is not timid where it Is most credita ble to tie manly. President Taft promises o be a most successful and practioal chief executive because he hns a masterly knowledge of all the administrative problems which are confronting the republic, and has special equipment mich as few presidents have had. He enters upon hts duties as the chief executive of the nation today with the full confidence of the neo. le. He is no less antagonistic to lawless combinations of wealth than has been Ills predecessor, and to his credit be it said he does not know how to com promise any Issue where rfsrht is in volved or where honor would suffer by so doing. He believes in all the poli ties of the country which have made Boosevelt's administration at times tumultuous, and while he will proceed In a more conservative way to en force law he will be no less firm or determined. Taft will make enemies, 'hut they .rDl be enemies that It will lie greatly to his honor to overcome. He will be the servant of no class or combina tion, but a true and faithful servant f the people. THE POLITICAL NAVY YARDS. The political navy yard is a positive source of graft and a glaring mani festation of folly. It has been pro tested against by all Investigators for: a score of years and among them are some of our ablest admirals. Govern or Lllley, when in congress, did his country a great service by showing the matter up, If he was overwhelmed by a committee of five of the ablest lawyer-congressmen In the house. They could temporarily down Llllny, but they cannot suppress the unbusiness like and condemnable things which he Ibravely exposed. The New London Telegraph, in an editorial upon appropriations made in the house, said: 'Take the nary yard proposition, for an example. The result of scatter ing thorn all along two coasts, thereby favoring senators In several states, has Ibeen to deprive the country of any yard whatever that would be capable cf handling a number of damaged warshlpa at one time. Great is the Norfolk yard. This yard, where most of the vessels of the Atlantic squad ron, go for repairs has only four dry docks, and not all of them will ac commodate battleships. In order to hastily repair damages to a number of ships, it would be necessary to run the rink of scattering them between several widely separated yards or to handle them slowly, one after another, at one yard. The folly of either sys tem Is manifest. England has BoH-ed this problem In a very simple man Tier by centralizing Its docking sys tem and providing one yard equipped with seventeen floats large enough to care for her greatest fighting ships. "It may not set well to take a les son from England, but unless we do this nation will live to regret that it did not compel its congressmen to do their duty Vy the nation Instead of rushing into a grab to make their own political lives secure." Ths Bridgeport Standard, following the same thought, declares that "since Governor Lilley first called attention to thlg most conspicuous instance of mismanagement, many others have seen a light, and, what Is more to the purpose still, the press generally, has discovered the patent abuses of the (present system and does not hold its hand in pointing them out. We are making that a matter of political pat ronage which should be only a mat ter of tha best possible arrangement for the public interest and the welfare of the great service which Is most in timately affected." This is a matter that will be reme died when the clvf! service spirit has fully taken possession of congress. A CROWDED PRISON. It is not a good sign, neither 13 it pleasant reading, that the Wethers tield prison is not big enough to com fortably accommodate the convicts of this state. It does not Indicate that civilized communities are working out well the problem for the betterment of the people. Overcrowded prisens and overcrowd ed insane asylums do not look well upon the face of the twentieth cen tury, they do not spek well for our reformative efforts, some of which are old that they now and then appear to e palsied. An exchange, advocating the estab lishment of a reformatory In this state em a means of relief, says that "there are between one hundred and two hundred prisoners at the prison now who would be at once transferred to the reformatory If such an Institution was in existence, and who would therefore be given the chance to which they are entitled to he made whole, morally, if such a thing is possible," The Bulletin does not regard a re formatory as a cure-all for the trou ble. The large per cent, of children who grow up in ignorance, and the In creasing per cent, of men being in capacitated for labor by excesses and oppressive methods In life, is tlio fruit ful aoarce of crime. "Working from the bottom up would appear to serve a better purpose than working from the top down. A re formatory may serve a good purpose, bnt the trne corrective fore Is not to it temaA Mi ere it l lower down, DO THEY NEED A SAINT? Who would think that the a-jtomo-biiists needed a saint? o far as The Bulletin can Judge wHat the automobile needs Is a level beaded, careful, large-hearted man at the brake, and if every one of them had that the automobllists would have no use for a patron saint. News comes from abroad that the automobllsts la Europe have been can vassing a list of the saints to see which of the canonized ones could safely be chosen as their patron. Several sug gested themselves as suitable up to a certain, point that upon further study Into their past revealed attributes not wholly favorable to motoring and to motorists. So finally good Saint Chris topher has been chosen, and on dash boards of many automobiles inconspic uous medals, depicting the saint in his traditional occupation of safeguarding the traveler on his way, are placed To all parts of the world where auto mobiles are owned and driven, the Frenchmen say, this adoption of a pat ron saint will extend, since tradition grips men aifd women of every nation ality. So we need not 'be surprised to live long enough to see automobiles in Nor wich with a. picture of Saint Christo ;her on the dashboard. BOTH HOUSES COMMITTED. The national house of representa tives passed, on Monday, a forest re serve bill, the one that Congressman Weeks of Massachusetts has been try fng for a long time to get before the house for a vote. Several times the senate has passed a bill, different from the Weeks bill, but with the same ob ject, only to have it fall In the house. It is doubtful whether the house would have consented to vote uron the meas ure and to pass it but for the certain ty that there was not time left to get it through the senate. So the measure fails, as usual, because it gets through only one house. The vote in the house was a close one, being 157 yeas to H7 nays. Both houses are now on record as favoring some measure for forest reservation, and when con-gre.-'s gets to work in the long session next winter, the outlook for the final passage of a good law by both houses ousht to be better than it evr has been before. Waterbury American. This is a remarkable way of Wind ins the eyes of the people. There wag one who eaid: "You cart fool part of the people rirt of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all the time." It is true both houses are now committed to the principle, but they are playing with' it as they did with the pure food act and It may be twenty-one years before we frt a law passed, and then it may prove to be a weak one. EDITORIAL NOTES. Fewer men marry for money than yrc think. They marry for everything else but that. When the February bills are paid we shall fee! more like taking hold of March In earnest. Now the courts of Oklahoma know what the supreme court of the United States thinks of them. The man who claims that he spanked Roosevelt has to admit that he waa a very small boy at the time. Happy thought for today: You can not always tell by a man's looks whether he has cold feet or not. The candidate who can pay one hun dred thousand dollars to become a senator is trie very one who ought not I to get the election. Another member of the douma has been sent to prison by the czar. He would like to send them all to a hot ter place than that. Continuing congressmen on special committees aft-ir the!.- term of office has expired, at the full salary, is a new political wrinkle. It Is nearer a fact than congress will admit, thnt if Roosevelt does not get a white rhinoceros in Africa, the people h ill share in his disappointment. The precipitation In February heats all records for tire month In 29 years; but it was a good thing for Fairview reservoir that February hustled. The science of picture taking has advanced no that one's picture may be tsV-en tliroue-h a stove lid; but what is the special advantage of that? To be able to fine the Standard Oil less than a million with assurances that it can 'be collected does not ap. rear to he satisfactory to the govern ment. Those who are enjoying the com forts of home today are envied, no doubt, by some "people who are in Washinc-ton where great things are taking p,lace. Tha fart that a dark planet is go. lng to collide with the sun, is not ex citing so much comment as whether Colonel Eryan is going to run for the presidency !n 1912. The old spelling bees of the long ago are coming into fashion again. The fellow who can spell best cannot al ways write best, though. President Taft will soon begin to meet the fellows who are looking for a soft snap, and he will show them it is not easy to find one. When President Taft takes the oath of office today the churches of Chi cago have arranged to send up pray ers in his behalf, and the great in dustries to blow their whistles. Xow that the prospect Is Are that through the revolving bowl of mercury we shall soon be able to see Mars as he Is, the question is asked: "What Hhal! we think if the first thing we behold is a man with both hands in his trousers pocket looking at us?" Are Speechless. "People no longer call it 'snivel service."' observes the New York Eve ning .Mail. They don't call It anything. They are speechless. Rochester Her ald. Uncle Joe's Conservatism.

Woman in Life BLENDING GOODS. A dressmaker whose work is recog nized as that of a master of her pro fession gives these suggestions Xor blending colors: Black "tones" some colors, but not oil. The effect is something merely to lull the colors and itself, without reme dying the difficulty. Gray may be combined with pale pink, rose color, lemon, pale yellow or burnt orange. Deep blue and dark red are a safe choice if the .blue predominates. Some blues and yellows are good to gether, but asain the blue must pre dominate. Iark olue cloth may be ornamented with a toueh of sulphur or mustard color or braided with gold. Tan looks well with Almost any shade of blue, and gray iblue are good wich tan. Genuine, shades of helllotrope are harming with pale, dull yellow. Light blue and jmre violet are to be avoided. Paie pastel blue is beautiful with the new shade known as wistaria Faint shell pink is possible with enppery brown, and is effective In brightening olive green. BLACK SATIN BOOTS. Satin boots instead of suede ones are gaining headway every week. They are worn with smart afternoon cos tumfes when one does not walk. It has been decided by tha fashion able girl that the high-heeled patent- uher slipper is not dressy enouga ror the resplendent gowns worn at social affairs between i and 7 o clock. The flat-heeled or high-heeled pump ha-s entirely gone out except for the most inf rmal wear. Glrls use It at home in the evening and always dur ing the day with short skirts. When the warm weather comes in it will be again in first style for street wear. The satin boot, however, is the aft ernoon footgear. Otherwise women wear high-heeled satin sltppers with open-work slik stockings. FASTEN IN FRONT. Ail the women who rightly protest ed agaihst frocks that fastened in the back should be happy this season, as the majority of models hook; or button in trout. Kven the most dressv hall gowns close at the left or right side 'of the front, and this fashion spreads down to the simplest shirt waist. only a few of the French blouses and the shirt waists Itft over from other seasons now fasten in the back. It is no longer a dressmaking dis grace to let the buttons show through. They are now frankly revealed. There fore there is not much of a problem about fastening a frock. One Just has to put buttons and button holes. Kven smart gowns will button through from neck to hem in a straight or bias line. This idea is carried out on most attractive affairs of old blue or Egyp tiiti red messaiine with the buttons covered with the material and slip ped through butnnholes bound with a wide strap of satin. 1 It now ret-t solely with the woman and her dressmaker as to where her frocks shall fasten. If she is sensible unci lias tlie fastening in front she will be relieved of much care aDd trouble this season. NEEDLEWORK SUGGESTIONS. No. 8X3 'Design to he transitu.. to a shirt waist, opera in the front or back, developed 1n silk, satin, batiste, nne lawn, organdie or nainsook work ed in e;elet and French embroidery with mercerized cotton or sjlk floss.

The scalloped border worked in solM s4itrh and the design Jn eyelet embroidery. Diet Affects Skin. People who live largely on fat tend to acquire greasy, shiny, perspiring skirr. Those who take too little fat tend to get dry, shriveled skin. Cndue consumption of tea, coffee, c;oa and chocolate will make the skin sallow. Milk brings about a delicate, satiny skin. Often a "beauty doctor" will advise a patient to take no fat whatever save that contained in the milk she is to drink. Girls Proud of Sham. Nowadays girls rather pride them selvej on their shams, and will calm ly admit to everything upon them he Ins a pretense but their teerth. Those still must bear the hallmark of na turs, even If filled with glass or gold. Water Impairs flavor. White fi.-h should be thoroughly washed before cooking; do not leave It in the water an instant longer than is necessary. If one does, the flavor Is greatly impaired. Serving of Oysters, liaw oysters should always be serv ed on the half shell, no matter how handsome your oyster plates. Doughnuts. Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter with two cups of sugar, add four heat en ckk. nutmeg to flavor, a pint of sour r.iilk or buttermilk, with a level teaKpoonful of .baking BOda dissolved in it, Hour to make a, soft dough. Fry in deep, hot lard. Half of the dough may be put in a stone crock and set i'i 'i cool place and fried at the end of several days, when It will be found as good as at first. Excellent Cookies. One eup of butter creamed with two cups of sugar, four eggs beaten lieht. three teaspoons of baking powder sift- ea '-iLn ave cupa ex sou, xmuoef Ut A i 3 and in the Kitchen, aslte- R out, sprinkle with sugar muu uojto an a net oven. Scalloped Cranberries. Moisten two cups of soft white bread crumbs with half a cup of melted but ter. Butter a pudding dish, sprinkle In a layer of bread crumbs, add a layer of stewed and sweetened cranberries, twelve large seeded raisins, a little grated lemon rind and a little sugar; continue the layers until the crumbs are usea; cover and 'bake for half an hour in a moderate oven. Serve with a. nara sauce. Buckwheat Cakes. Pour two cups of scalded milk over one-miro cup of bread crumbs grated or rolled fine. Add salt and one-auar- ter yeast cake dissolved in one-half cup of lukewarm water. Also add buckwheat to make a hatter thick enough to pour. Let rise over night. In the morning heat well, add one ta blespoon of molasses, one-fourth tea cup of soda dissolved In one-fourth teacup of warm water. Bake, saving one-half cup of butter with which to start another mixing made in the same proportions. Most people are safe In using grid dle cakes very liberally, and, even with self-raising griddlo flours the expense is very light for breakfast So much time Is saved that the self-raising flours for such uses are perhaps an actual economy, in most families. Tailor-made Suit will be Braided. The very last word from the fashion centers Is to the effect that the smart suit for spring and summer wear will have a much-trimmed short coat and skirt showing a few plaits. Buttons, bands, braids, buckles ana bindings may be employed to embellish a single suit, and the arrangement, if properly accomplished, will prove most attractive. The illustration shows a suit of taupe broadcloth, braided in soutache. The skirt has inverted plaits at inter vals and is cut six inches from, the ground. The hat is a youthful, becoming shape, oniy slightly mushroom, devel oped in straw to harmonize with the suit, trimmed in plumes several shades lighter of the same hue. This suit will look well built of wood cock brown worsted braided in a dark er shade, the hat of black straw trim med in white marabou. Smaller Sailor Hat in 1909. "How about the sailors?" some wom en always want to know; and for them comes the cheering news that the sail or will be as welcome a summer oc cupant of the hat trunk as ever. The 1909 sailors, however, are not such monstrosities as were permitted last year. If there is any exaggera tion it is in the crown, not in the brtm of the new sailors, for crowns promise to he very large and low, setting far out on the brim and leaving very little of the latter showing. Velvet ribbon ibanda will trim many of the smart colored straw sailors, and sometimes long quills of the curving sort will sweepi backward at one side. Contrasts Popular. The Idea of making the crown and brim of a bat of contrasting" material, but in the same color, is new, and has evoked great admiration. Danish Apple Cake. Crush six pieces of toasted bread or rolls cut In two and bake in oven. Put into kettle with butter, sugar and a little cinnamon, heat and cool same. Take three cups of apple sauce, put into a buttered" dish a layer of crunibs, then apple sauce, next fruit jelly, and so on, having last ayer crumbs. Bake for half an hour. When baked and exiled serve with whipped cream, and jelly. Shrinking Materials. Before making the white linen dress :-kirt, or any material that h liable to shrink, fold the goods carefully and place it in a tub and cover with water. Let It get thoroughly wet. Stretch the clothes line as tightly as possible, hang the goods through the center and pin perfectly straight on the line. When dry let two persons stretch the goods, as curtains are stretched, fold it with the wrong side of the material out and irort it double, with the seam running through the center of the goods on the length of the material. In shrinking colored prints for children's clothes, add turpentine to the water and it will set the color. A teaspoonful is used to a gallon of water. Luncheon Decoration. A decoration for a luncheon that is seldom seen, yet which mayi be mado charming, is a low silver bowl filled with pansies of all colors. If the stems are not specially long a piece of wire netting can he placed over the top of the bowl and the pansies stuck in It The effect is enhanced If the bowl is set on a large round mirror surrounded with a border of small ferns. At each plate have a small pot of growing pan sies, which may later be given as sou venirs. These look well If the pots are set in small paper cases made of, stiff cardboard covered with silver paper. Should there be a guest of honor, her plants may be larger than the others, or the case may be larger than tha other, or the case can be a small di ver Jardiniere. The caidle shades should carry out the predominating tones of the pansies. Silver candlesticks should be used if possible. Effective shades can foe made of white paper garlanded with artific ial pansies. HOME GARMENT MAKING. The Bulletin's Pattern Sarvloe. zsor GIRL'S ORGS. Parle Pattera He. 287 Allewea.

Of the three senators who felt that the excellent legislative biography pre pared by Mr. Taylor should be "paid for by those who wanted it instead of by the state, the New Haven Journal Courier crlves a brief account which dwells much on the pulchritude of this minority, apparently in the belief that their attitude was the more striking because their portraits would adorn Mr. Taylor's pages better tban some others This is taking an unfair advantage of these gentlemen. They cannot Well explain that consciousness of their beauty added merit to their decision; they cannot even say that ths thing never occurred to them. There are things that must be taken for granted. To notice them would be to take a jesting remark seriously. Then they are all men who voted on high princi ple, and instead of getting ipraise or blame they are put off with an admis sion that they are "fine looking fel lows." Hartford Times. A Yale Man in the Cabinet. It looked for a while as if there would h no Yale man in the Taft cab inet Considering the strong coterie of Yale men with whom President Roosevelt of Harvard has buttressed himself officially, and considering how strong and loyal a Yale man Judge Taft is, it is somewhat strange that this peculiarity of the coming cabinet has escaped general comment. The Yale man who is said to fc slated for secretary of the treasury is Franklin MacVeagh of the class of '62. Mr. MacVeagh is the embodied proof that the same man may be scholarly, es thetic and idealistic and yet he a first class practical business man. He is the head of one of the largest whole sale grocery firms In Chicago and the west, and is also prominent as a bank er. As a citizen he has always stood for Independence and has taken a great interest in all popular move ments. Except foe his age (he Is now nearlng 70, which may or may not be a handicap, according to the point of view), he seems peculiarly fitted for the place, for he has thorough knowl edge of and sympathy with the west, while as a business man he has al wavs been in close touch with the east.

Main St., Norwich, Conn., says: "My son procured Doan's Kidney Pills for me from N. D. Sevin A Son's drug store, and their use proved of great benefit. I had felt miserable for some time on account of disordered kidneys. Mornings when I would arise my back would be so painful that I could scar cely straighten and at time I could not do any work. Troubles with the kidney secretions hothered me, then action being too frequent and other wise unnatural. I waa subject to dizzy spells, and more than once came near falling on this account. My face bloated and there was also a percepti ble swelling of my feet and hands. I tried various remedies and doctored a great deal but nothing gave me any relief. I was sfcout discouraged When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills but I had only taken a few doses when I had reason to place great confidence In them. The use of one box put an end to the lameness in my beck, restoring my health and benefiting me in a gen eral way.

Price 25 Cents For Large Bottle. MITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Cf. 4 Jfc.H-V White Decision Favors Town of Norwich. Demurrer of Suit of Town Against Uncas t aper Com pany Sustained Case is Over Taxes Which Company Refused to Pay. An important, decision relative to several suits which are pending over taxes due the town and city was given on Wednesday by Judge Waller of the court of common pleas, when he sus tained the dmurrer of the plaintiff in the case of the town of Norwich vs. the Uncas Paper company, which de murrer was argued several weeks ago. The suit is over taxes of 1904 due the town from the company, as alleged. In 1905 the legislature passed an' act requiring the assessors to give notice to all property owners when It was contemplated raising their property in the tax list. This, it is claimed, they failed to do In the case of the Uncas Paper company, which had its list in creased and failed to get notice of such intention. Because of that, the couu sel for the Unoas Paper company held that they could not be required to pay the tax on the amount of the increase. There waa no dispute regarding the SECOND NUMBER OF SPECIAL MUSICAL COURSE. Flonzaley Quartet Heard With Great Pleasure and Admiration at Slater iH all Two Encores Given. Norwich waa particularly fortunate in the second number of the special musical course arranged by Messrs. Mitchell and Tlrrell to be able to hear the Flonzaley quartet, one of the fam ous company of four players of the times. Slater hall held a music loving audience of good proportions, and the rounds of applause given the musicians manifested their admiration and ap preciation, and so Insistent was it that two encores were given, something which all audiences are not favored with. Throughout the five numbers of the programme the same precision and beauty of tone was maintained. There was "finish, warmth and technique throughout, showing perfection of style so marked that It was easy to forget the substance of the music 4n delight of the manner In which it was played. The quartet attained the ef fortless fusion, of manner and matter, the goal of all expressive arts and musio most of all. There was the nic est and surest of technical perfection. Justice of intonations, sensitive bow ing and all the primary but difficult virtues of the player upon stringed instruments. The tone was pure, not being in the least clouded or roughened bv any of the players, and the virtue of sympathy was communicated to the audience by the magic style and the In sistence of beauty. The quartet played as one, so clever was their work. Whether the quartet in D minor of Mo zart's or the quartet In G major of Beethoven, and Dvorak's quartet in A flat major or the muslo of old Leclalr, it seemed to flow into design and orna ment. The tone was ample, deep and sonorous, with the sonata by the elder Leclair. In Which the players imparted the large force of imagination, giving it a curious, grave eloquence. In Beehoven's quartet the tone was warm and rich, there being delicate shading and melody. The sonata was for two violins and violoncello and a difficult composition. Glazounow's courante was a pretty fclt of music, with much melody. Even nunrrber waa riven In a mas terly manner, which was inspiring to the audience, who round the end had been reached all too soon.

Two wires were reported down on Preston bridge. former amount.but the company claim ed it should pay the same tax as the year before, and that the Increase could not be collected. Town Counsel Amos A. Browning entered a demurrer to this, claiming that the legislature of 1907 passed a healing act, in which was provided that where tuch increases occurred they should be allowed to stand. This the company claimed waa unconstitution al. Judge Waller's decision on Wednes day sustained the demurrer, as he held that the healing act was constitutional and legalized the action of the assess ors here, as well as in other places. The taxes in dispute amount to sev eral hundred dollars, and the city has a suit against the same company for taxes due the city for the said in crease. Whether the case will' be carried any further is not known at the present time. ACKNOWLEDGED MANY GIFTS TO INSANE HOSPITAL.

Rev. Neilson Poe Carey, conduct ing the service, assisted by Rev. P. S. Irwin of Christ church, Pomfret, who was also the preacher. His seasonable discourse, urging a closer and more faithful following of the Christian doc trines, was from the text Revelations xiv, 4: These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. Mentioning the quite prevalent esti mate of the small number of those to be saved In comparison with those wh. are found in the broad way that lead eth to destruction, yet, said the preach er. It will be no unworthy number that will swell the final triumph of the Lamb. The apostle saw a great mul titude which no mn could number, who were the. ultimate glory of Christ's victory. But of these referred to in the text, what is their general charac teristic? What special feat places them standing closet around the Lamb. The text answers they follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. In the minds of many there is a very general belief in religious truth, yet how few there aro that have any deep and convincing thoughts upon the CONNECTICUT WILL BE IN THIRD DIVISION. Big Changes in National Rifle Match Interest Norwich Men. Since the action of the national board for promotion of rifle practice in mak ing such sweeping changes in the con ditions for the national match, Nor wich riflemen have been earnestly dis cussing the probable effect the changes made will have on this event. Last year Captain J. A. Hagberg was on the Connecticut team. The national match was established by congress in 1903, and a magnificent trophy was provided for it, to which the National Rifle as sociation added the Hilton trophy and the Soldier of Marathon. Congress an nually appropriates the money for the prizes which accompany the trophies, anil the match is shot under the direc tion of the war department. Each stale and territory and each branch of the regular service Is entitled to rep resentation by a team of twelve shoot ing members. .Last year there were fifty competing teams. Heretofore there have been six prizes, which went to the six leading team?, but" this- year the-national board, with the approval of the secretary of war, -has decided to change the rules so the teams will be divided Into three divisions on their record In Camp Perry last year. In the first division will come the U. S. Infantry, U. S. cavalry, U. S. Marine corps, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Nav al Academy. Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Washington, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon, Maine ami Ohio. In the sec ond division will be Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Colorado, California, New Tork, Maryland, New Jersey, Minne sota, Kansas, Missouri. Hawaii, Indi ana, Michigan, West Virginia and Kentucky. The third division will In clude Wyoming. Connecticut, Nebras ka, Tennessee, Delaware, North Dako ta, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Mississippi, Lou isiana, North Carolina and those not represented last year. The prize for the first division will be the national trophy, for the second division will be the Hilton trophy, and for the third will be the Soldier of Marathon, in addition to which there will be three or four money prizes in each division. AH teams will be eligi ble to win the national trophy, but only the teams -in the second and third di visions will be eligible to win the Hil ton trophy, while none but teams in the third division can win the Soldier of Marathon. There will be about $4,300 in prize money for this match. Another Important change will be the substitution of the B target for the silhouettes In the skirmish run. On invitation of the governor of Ohio the national matches will be held on Ohio range at Camp Perry during August next. INSURANCE ADJUSTED ON CHELSEA BANK BUILDING Bank Will Receive Practically the Full Amount No Action Regarding Any Sale. It was stated on Wednesday by a di rector of the Chelsea Savings bank that the Insurance on their building damaged in the recent fire had been practically adjusted on Wednesday, the work being done by Mr. Hughes for the insurers an.d John MeWil liams for the bank. A few details remain, but the work was nearly all completed and the bank will receive practically the full insurance. Regarding the many rumors about the possibility of the bank selllne- Its fite and what remains of the present building, the director stated that noth ing had been done. The bank Is now located In the Geer building, where It will remain until a new banking house is reaay, tne location or which is un certain. The front wall of the burned build ing has been taken down to the level of the second floor and the remainder will probably not be disturbed until there is some change in the new build ing to be erected there. What fur nishings of the bank that were not used In fitting up Its present quarters in the Oeer building are in the old building, but the street in front has been cleared of the debris.

They believe in the certain plain verities of religion, but these other points thev say may -well occupy minds of the clergy, but they are not for us. They base their bener upon tne certain nis torical facts of tha gospel, but think little upon the doctrines founded upon these facts toy the apostles. To these the text cannot apply, they follow the leading of the Lamb only to a certain extent. They admit the expediency of public service, but when urged to take hold on prayer or you urge tnem on to partake of tne sacrament tney re coil. They shrink from the practice of what would lead to a higher line of life. They follow a high principle with a low practice. Is this picture alto gether imaginary?

Brown Represents New York Bankers in Case Against New Haven Road. The supreme court at Hartford heard arguments Wednesday in the case of Donald Mackay and others against the New Tork. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. Frank T. Brown of Norwich represented the plalntins ana 15. D. Robblns and H. W. Asher of New Haven the railroad company. The case went up on an appeal by the company from a decision by Judge Joel H. Reed in the New Haven county superior court sustaining a demurrer to the answer. The plaintiffs are bankers in New Tork city, and they seek to compel the company to execute a guaranty on a certificate of preferred shares of the New England Investment and Security company. The defendant admits an agreement by the Consolidated Rail way company to do what it-Is asked to do by the plaintiffs, and that the de fendant is also bound bv this agree ment. Then the defendant says that it is constrained' by the laws of Massa chusetts to refuee execution of the guarantee in question. It Is the de sire of the defendant to give this guarantee, as it is stated in the de fendant's brief, and counsel think that the faets should be called to the court's attention that the court may finally determine the defendant's rights In the matter in the state of Connecticut. In the argument certain complex matters connected with the charter and various amendments and the dif fering attitudes of Connecticut and Massachusetts toward the company figured voluminously. A conflict of laws Is set up by the railroad com pany. As an Illustration the following is given: "By the law of Connecticut a ma jority of defendant's directors must be residents of this state. For the sake of illustration let us suppose that the law of Massachusetts is so amend ed as to require a majority of defend ant's directors to be residents of that state. The defendant could not com ply with both laws. Let us suppose that it continued to obey the law of Connecticut. "The attorney general of Massachu setts brings an action to compel the Massachusetts corporation to obey tho Massachusetts law. Thereupon the at torney general of Connecticut brings an action to compel the Connecticut corporation to obey the Connecticut law. if the courts or both states ac cept the theory that the New Tork, New Haven and -Hartford Railroad company, though two distinct corpora tions a corporation of Massachusetts and a corpt ration of Connecticut has, by the law of both states, one name, one organization and one aggregate of property and liabilities, how must they decide the cases supposed? "Let us try to apply to this conflict of laws the views of the Massachu setts attorney general. "According to his view the decree of the Massachusetts court enforcing the law of Massachusetts against its own corporation reaches the ConnectI cut corporation as an inconvenience which arises from the dual character of the defendant as a disadvantage which results frtm defendant s accept lng corporation by more than one sovereignty. "The decree of the Connecticut court enforcing the laws of Connecti cut againirt its own corporation reaches the Massachusetts corporation by the same reasoning. "Each corporation, then (the Massa chusetts corporation and the Connecti cut equally), la at the same time re quired by the courts of two separate sovereignties to have a majority o its directors reside within their separate territories. "The attention, of the court Is aeked to the question whether a doctrine which thus results In absolute antag onism between two sovereign states can be accerted as a doctrine of pub lic law." In leading up to the general basis of which the argument given above Is an illustration the brief quotes a Mass achusetts act of 1872 which merged the company in Massachusetts into tW purely Connecticut corporation) and provided that the consolidated cor poration should- be subject to the charter of the Connecticut corpora tion and referred to Its own corpora tion as mergf-d. Mr. Brown said that Connecticut did not regard that it gave to the cor poration a right to enter Massachu setts and do anything against the law of that state. Neither did Massachu setts have a right to charter a com pany to do anything within the law of this state. Mr. Robblns asks the court to re move the doubt prevailing as to the extent of the defendant's corporate powers and the valialty of hundred of millions of the company's securities, "that all men will know the law upon these subjects that will be administer ed in the state which first incorporated the defendant, and within whose ter ritory most of the propertv is held." In the course of his argument Mr. Rrabbins said that he found widespread in that state an opinion that it could not be possible that any other state stood in quite -the same position that the old state stood.

Several months ago there appeared in London, after engagements in Vien na and Berlin, a company of dramatic artists from the stage of that country which lins lately been uppermost in the public mind on account of the calamity which has appalled the world. These players came from Sicily and the stage of their efforts in their na tive country was that of the cities which were so completely wiped out by the earthquake. At the head of the band of Sicilians was Mimi AgugTIa, and her w-k in the various plays pre sented simply astounded the dramatic reviewers of the world's greatest me tropolis and she was hailed unreserv edly as the greatest exponent of the realistic iu dramatic art who had ever be?n seen on the London stage. The sensation created by these new artists attracted the attention of Charles Prohman and he arranged to brine the company to America, where, under his direction, they appeared rn New lork and various other cities, duplicating ir this country the success they had achieved abroad. So greatly impress ed was Mr. Frohman with the extraor dinary qualities of Mimi Aguglia that he has just signed a contract for a long term of years with her to appear in English under his direction and at the clos3 of the present tour the gifted ariast will sail for London anf there. aftV twelve months' study in English, sne nviil appear under Mr. iTonraan'j management in the tongue of which she is now almost entirely Ignorant. An opportunity to see this unusual company of players -will be afforded local theatergoers when Mimi Aguglia and her associates appear at the Broadway theater this evening in Zaza, The performances, although given in Italian, are fully as easy to follow and as interesting throughout as though given in Knglish, since the facial ex pression, pantomime and phytical vis. uallzation of the roles portrayed by Signora Aguglia axe so complete ,and marvelous in detail that familiarity with the tongue of their presentation is almost superfluous. The Great Divide. "The Great Divide." the most strik ing dramatic success the American stage h3 seen for a quarter of a cen tury, will be played at the Broadway theater on Friday, March 5th. This news will be received with delight toy our playgoers, for no drama of recent years has commanded so much atten tion as "The Great Divide." For near ly two entire seasons it attracted crowded houses to the Princess and Daly's theaters and Academy of Music, New York, having been presented in the metropolis more than 000 times. The road tour is undar the direction of Henry Miller, whose name is insepara bly linked with the success ou the play. The cast was selected by the famous actor-manager with reat care and the production which will be seen here is an exact duplicate of the New York original. "The Great Divide" has been pronounced by many critics to be the "Ions awaited X3reat American play.' No other drama has so well reflected the manhood, the freedom, the honesty and the indomitable spirit characteristic of the people of our great country. The story of the play represents a conflict between the free, untrammelled spirit of the west and the traditions and conventionalities of the east. It tolls the romance of an eastern woman and a western man whose wooing was strange and! whose life together was dramatic. BREED THEATER. To those iliking good clear comedy pictures theYBreed theater offers a fine line this week. Included in the list are "Mrs. Jones Entertains," "The Hu man Wheal," "The Bewildered Pro fessor" and "Jack of All Trades." These are extremely funny, while the dramatic pictures,. "The Cord of Life" and The Ingrate." are intensely- in teresting and thrilling, abounding with strong scenes. Mr. Cooper sings "To the End of the World With You," and Madam Morelle sings "So 45ocn We Are Forgotten." The Roderick Theater. Large audiences attended all per formances at the Roderick last night and all went away thoroughly pleased with the performance, the feature pic ture, The, Little Coxswain of the 'Var sity Eight, being most generously ap preciated by all. The usual change commences today and with it an en tirely new and better class of pictures will be shown. For a feature picture will be shown The Cross Roads. It will prove no doubt the best of its kind ever shon. There will be an abun dant amount of fun and drama in the remainder of the programme, which win include It It Don't Concern You Let It Alone, Bill Wants to Wed a Toe Dancer, Too Much Snuff and The Shepherdess. Mr. Q'Neil will sing a southern ballad. In Dear Old Dixie Land, thus completing one of the best shows we have ever had. CONTEST OVER WILL. Woman Claims Estate ot Millionaire Supposed to Be Widower. In Bridgeport interest attaches to the reported contest over the will of Alfred Oilman, nephew of George L. Gilman, the millionaire' tea merchant, whose estate was in litigation for years. Gilman owned property in Bridge port and his will is now before the surrogate court in New York city. He is said to have left a second will with out revoking the first one. When Gil man lived here it was supposed; he was a widower. Now, it is understood, a woman claims the estate. The Del-Hoff, HAYES fROS Proprietors. Broadway, Norwich. Coaa. Running Hot and Cold Watsr.

JACKSON PRACTICES THIS MODERN DENTISTRY Everybody Can Possess Teeth of Nat ural Beauty 'No Pain. In this day of Porcelain Dentistry one who suffers the disadvantages of an unsound and unsightly set of teeth is his or her own worst enemy. 'Tis not the intention of the writer to dwell extensively on the matter of being thus handicapped, .for every possessor of a poor, repulsive set of teeth knows too well the disadvantages which very often extend even to a tortuous degree. A person who rather than open his mouth to talk, thus exposing; the decayed condition of his teeth, does not enter In a con versation, is often mistaken for ignor ant, or, so to speak, a "dummy." Still this same person may bo the wit of the company, a brilliant man or wom an, and is sacrlflcins' the onnortunitv to "make good simply because of self consciousness or rather consciousness concerning the repulsive) or detectable iaise set of teetn tie so zealously at tempts to hide. iSuch a person Is his own worst enemy. Since ths Inception of ths practice of Porcelain Dentistry in this city by Dr. Jackson at the King Dental Parlors many people have been released from ths- bondage or poor teeth to find Ufa far more worth liv- inar. for such teeth are not only a men ace to health, but to social aspirations as well. Th "old school" dentistry was all right. It served Its purpose of providing teeth to masticate with, but it did not go far enough to restore the natural beauty of the mouth. This is the mission of Porcelain Dentistry to rive you a set of teeth either by filling process, inserted teeth, or bridsrework that will so olosely con form to nature as to bs absolutely non-detectatole. No s)ld or metal of any kind is used In ths practice of thus modern dentistry, for metal Is In strong and ugly contrast wltn tne ooior with which nature has endowed the teeth. but Porcelain is nature's counterpart and whila shades Of teeth vary Porce lain is by a unique and practical pro cess baked so the precise shading of your teeth will be perfectly matched. In this way you are, through Porce lain Dentistry alone, riven a set of non-detectable and teeth, that you are glad to show. If yon are the possessor of bad teeth, don't remain in tne put-it-off class any longer, but act at once, for you're robbing yourself of much of the good in life. You will find it one of the greatest reliefs you've ever experienced to be ablo to talk and emile without that ever uneasy sort of feeling- that ne one you are addressing is looking critically at your teeth, porcelain ientistry is lor you because it is the dentistry that will do the most for you. The methods era ployed in ths practice are positively painless. No long aruiias; or mallet ing the operation Is rapid and does away with the pain and tediousness of the old time methods. Dr. Jackson would like to have a talk with you about your teeth. He will tell you without cost what ne can ao for you. Visit him at the King Dental Parlors, Franklin Square, over Somers Bros.', any day or evening.
