Skinne lard were united in marriage at eight o'clock Wednesday evening at the home of the groom’s parents at Mer- row. Rev. Leonard Smith of Spring Hill, Manss the officiating clergyman. The Episcopal service was used and the ceremony was attended only by the relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner are to make their home in Merrow. During a dull moment in_ business Thursday afternoon the guietude at the Irvin house cafe was broken by the entrance of State Policeman W. E. Jackson, who, pointing to Max Mark- Off, one of the firm of Kearns & Mark- off, who run the hotel, and who was seated behind the bar, said: “I have a warrant for your arrest! Get your hat and coat on and come along with me!” Markoff never said a word, did as he was bidden and quietly walked up the street with State Policeman Jackson, who lodged Mr. Markoff in the sta tion house. The arrest was made at 3.35 o'clock. The warrant was issued upon in- formation obtained by the state police. | In the document are six counts, re- lating to the violation of the liguor law covering a period of two months or so. The prisoner was released on bail and will be given a preliminary hear- | ing in the police court this morning before Judge William A. Arnold. It is understood that Markoff will attémpt to fight the case, as he ‘s quoted as saying that he has not been selling any liquor on Sundays or i violation of the law. The house has been under ~ close surveillance by members of the state police for somo few weeks. Less than a month ago, it is alleged that an attempted raid was made on the Irwin house one Sunday night when Mr. Markoff was attend- ing a social affair and was away from the house. Nothing was found by the Conferred with Census Men. Harvey M. Lawsom of New Haven, a special census agent for this state, was at the rooms of the Willimantic board of trade Thursdag afternoon, holding a meeting with the local cen- sus enumerators, giving them needed instruction and expiicit directions as to how the work must be done from the commencement right up to the last ditch. A number of localites are {said to have lost a bit of their nerve | before the start of the task. BUSINESS MEN’S ASSOCIATION.

Considering the number of prominent guests about the state, and the various officials of the Connecticut business men’s associa- tions, besides the large number of representative citizens, the event was ome of especial importance and inter- es Upon the arrival of the distinguish- ed guests, who came in on the six o'clock express, five automobiles were in waiting in charge of chauffeurs and members of the reception committee headed by Mayor D. P. Dunn#nd W. C. Norris, and a tour of the city was made. The various schools, indus- tries and prospective sites, as well as many of the handsome residences were pointed out to the party, until the Hotel Hooker was reached, where the festivities of the evening took place. The main dining hall of the hotel was effectively decorated for the feast. Landlord Winter had everything well arranged for his patrons and served BE A QUARTER COMING TO You.

Valentine, of Derby, secretary of the State Bus- iness Men's association. Mr. Valen- tine responded in his pleasing manner for the state association, giving in- teresting data relative to the organ- ization as well as the different asso- ‘clations throughout the state, and spoke enthusiasticaily of the fine’ work that many of them were doing toward building up and broadening out their respective cities. The talk was full of much interesting information. The speaker was accorded a hearty round of applause at the conclusion of his remarks. Rev. Ashley D. Leavitt. Toastmaster Burr, in introducing the next speaker, Rev. Ashley D. Leavitt of Concord, N. H.. formerly pastor of the First Congregational church of this city. gave a rousing send off to the oratorical, young and capable di- vine, which was the signal for spon- taneous recognition. Rev. Mr. Leay- itt'’s talk was on the “Gentle Art of Boosting,” and the boost that the toast master had given the speaker Wai most fitly carried stil] further in some- thing like this: It is always the embarrassment of the preacher that whén he wants to castigate the sinners he must do so before an audience of meek and lowly saints who are faithful to his teaching. You sinmers will never Lknow how much the saints have had to suffer for your sins, and yet what 1 say may be pertinent even here. These are the days when we are hearing the ques- tion: What is the matter with New Englandiflon every side. The implica- tion is that something is the matter with New England. We are in danger of being left out of the procession of real ess. Western enterprise has got the start on us in many particu- lars. But of course the matter is not with New England. If there is any trouble with New England it must be with her men, for we have every resource, every ~opportunity, every _inspiration known in any section of the country. The trouble in so far as I appre- hend it lies in our inclination to ma- terialism. We think we are ubove materialism, but the fact is that its heel is on our mneck in this respect. We are limited by our environment. We are haunted by it. We will not grow enthusiastic over it for fear it is not good enough for such as we to grow enthusiastic over. We will not praise it because to praise it might not_do justice to our critical facilities. Now the real man is free from the clutch of materialsm because Do env- ironment can limit him; he can be en- thusiastic in any situation not because it is worthy of him, but because he knows he <can make it worthy of him or anyone. The real optimism can be an optimist in the dreariest world, will be most of an optimist in the dreariest world, because of his joyous confidence in his power of conquest. True lovalty and heroism seeks the weak and de- {Henseless and then delights in making it great. This is the real basis of the Dest enterprise ,in the west. We are getting it-and ‘Wwill come to our own when we know our own power to make over the world to bhe worthy of our best -devotion. Ex-Governor Lak: Hon. BEverett J. Lake of Hartford, ex-lieutenant governor, was introduced as the next speaker. e did not have any specific topic but talked for a few moments very entertainingly in his characteristic manner of things in general and elicited a hearty laugh or two with his apt after-dinner savings that might well be classed with some of the best of utterances of past mas- ters at the art. When he had concluded the entire company was in excellent humor and well primed for the solid matter that was to follow, although none the less interesting to the assemblage. Mr. Burr then aptly introduced Rep- resentative George B. Chandler of Rocky, Hill, who had a few felicitous words'for the toastmaster and the at- tentive listeners before launching forth upon his pet theme, “Public Utilities. Representative George P. Chandle Representative Chandler spoke on “Federal and State Regulation of Pub- lic Utilities.” He brought out an en- tirely new feature of the utility situa- tion in the state of Connecticut in his discussion of the proposed amend- ment to the federal railroad laws. He said in substance: 1 syspect that the fate of a utilities bill in' the state of Connecticut is des- tined to be settled at Washington rather than at Hartford. I have been watching with a good deal of interest and curiosity the progress of railroad legislation in the present congress, and if the pending amendment to the in- terstate commerce laws finally passes one of the chief sources of opposition to a Connecticut commission will have been removed. “Combination and Regulation” the So- lution. You cannot suspend economic law by statute law for any sustained period of time. If it is cheaper to run two roads under a single managgment. sooner or later they are going th be run under it. And they ought to be. Whenever waste is saved the human race is rich- er. The real problem comes in the dis- tribution of the profits. It isn’t magni- tude we have to fear: it is method. No, we cannot stop combinations, but we can regulate them. Regulation is not a dream; it is an achieved fact in certain_notable instances. 1 am able to see but four ways in which a com- bination ma- seriously injure the pub- c. according ing poor service: a third is by not the same service, and a fourth is by iving inadequate wages.
