Connecticut has had five state houses, the present City hall, in Hart- ford, being the third. <Sanford’s His- tory of Connecticut says: “The first general court was held in Hartford in April, 1636. The meeting house of the First Congregational so- ciety had a court chamber, where the general court was held. In 1720 the first state house was finished, It was a wooden structire, 74 by 30 feet in size, standing on Court House square. It had front and side entrances, and was occupled until 1796. Tts cost was 700 pounds sterling, the town of Hart- ford paying 250 pounds. “The next state house in Hartford, and the third built by the state, was the structure now known as City hall on State House square, the founda- tions of which were laid in 1792, the ing being occupied by the state in v, 1796.

But real estate men, ire competent to judge the value of real estate in East Hartford, have told the adjutant general that the sum which Mr. Hansen has paid for the property i$ as much as the property is worth and that, in all probability the state has received a good price for it. The range was abandoned In defer- ence to the objections of residents of the town who thought there was some r to life by the use of the range practice, The range has been use for some time and the ad- jutant general was authorized to sell it by a resolution passed at the last session of the general assembly. the Catamount Proved to Be.

William Merritt Chase, whose col- lection of paintings has attracted wide- spread attention at the art gallery of the Bridgeport public 1 since March 1, addressed about 200 art en- ihuuiut. at the library lecture room Thursday evening on modern art. One |of the foremost painters of the age, the founder of the Chase school of arts and artists, Mr. Chase was listened to with the closest attention. His ad- dress partook more of the nature of an informal conversation than a lecture. Dwellmuyou the progress that a made in art, and of the eminence of Columbja among the na- tions, Mr, Chase encouraged students to pursue their inclinations rather than the ideals that held up to them by oth- ers. pardonable egotism he cit- ed his own case as am example of the difficulties that beset the young stu- dent.

Keeoper of Sound Light Left Assistant and Embezzled Wages. ¥Friday night a young man wearing the uniform of a light house keeper ap- plied at the police station for lodgings. He told Sergeant Webb that he was the keeper of the Green's Reef light off Roton Point, and was without money. The man was given lodging. When Superintendent Birmingham ap- peared at his office Saturday morning he was told about the lodger with the uniform. “Hold him: he is wanted by the po- lice of Norwalk,” was the comment of the superintendent. The Norwalk police were notifled, and later the lodger was turmed over to them. The man's name is John M. Kiarskori, and he suddenly left his light house about fourteen days ago in charge of his assistant. Kiarskori took with him the check for his wages and that of the assistant, and also cashed that, too, Then he pro- ceeded to have a glorious time, and keep away from his light house. His absence was finally discovered when a light house tender went to the Green's Reef light house “and there found that the assistant had been obliged to be up night and day and during that time had little to eat. The federal government will now deal with the absconding light house keep- er.—Eridgeport Tellegram. COULDN’T STAND IT. Oppressed by Absence of Fire, Horse Turns in Alarm.

Both meet- ings have.becen unsuccessful as far as reaching any agreement is concerned, says The Palladium. One of the mas- ter buflders said that the next prop- osition will have to be made by the carpenters as both py the mater bulld- ers have been refused. About 93 per cent. of the carpenters and joiners in New Haven are union men, and if a strike is ordered the city would be in a bad condition, as this is the time when all the spring bullding is starting. By asking for the increase and half- holiday, the carpenters claim that the pay would te about the same as it is at present when the men are obliged to work a full day on Saturday, There are three local brotherhoods of carpenters and joiners in New Ha- ven, Council 79 being the largest. ‘The carpenters have asked that the increase start the first of next month, according to the report, and as it is the Intention of the two organizations to get together in the near future and see if the matter cannot be fixed up without a strike being called.
