If There Isn’t a Wonderful Gathering of Political Lights, It Won't Be Sou- venir Taylor’s Fault. Souvenir W. H. Taylor had to call in the aid of an expresman Thursday afternoon when he got ready to mail the thousands of invitation to the clamfest that is to be attended by ev- ery live legislator that has been hon- ored since 1900 with a seat in the gen- eral assembly of Connecticut. There was basketful after basketful of them. The list of names making up the ad- dresses on the envelopes Included about every big fellow politically in the state; in fact, collectively they might be regarded as a Burke's (or Taylor's) peerage for Connecticut. The clerks in the postoffice had sore arms ‘before they finished the task of can- celling the stamps. If there isn't a wonderful_gathering of political lights at Savin Rock on August 10 it won't ‘be Souvenir Taylor's fault. Petition in Regard to Postoffice Site. Annie Beaudreault, who owns the Cargill house property, will start cir- culating a petition this (Friday) morning that will be sent to the treas- ury department at Washington when it is completed. This petition is to ask the government officials to select a site on Elm street for the postoffice build- ing that was recently authorized for Putnam. The petition states that the undersigned “believe such a site would ‘be more central and more convenient to the public than any other.” No par-— ticular site is mentioned, however, the idea seeming to be to keep the govern- ment from selecting a site in some other part of the city and too far away from the business section. It is undérstood that one Putnam man has offered his property to the government as a site for the building, and that others will do so before July 28, which is the date fixed as the time limit for submitting proposals for sites. Will Discuss Violation of Rule. The violation of the rule which for- bids a manager playing more than two out of town members on his team in any one game is said to be one of the matters that will be discussed at the meeting of the directors of the Eastern | Connecticut league when they get to- gether in Danielson on Sunday. There is adchlrge that the rule has been vio- lated. DEEP REGRET IN GROSVENORDALES, Where Rev. Thomas Cooney Has La- bored Over 25 Years. Rev. Thomas Cooney, who has been pastor of St. Joseph's church at Gros- venordale for more than 25 years, is to leave that villace to become pastor of St. Francis’ church at Naugatuck. This s2nnouncement has been received with deep regret by his parishioners in the Grosvenordales, where Father Cooney’s unremitting labors have won him an irrevocable love. Father Cooney was an assistant at St. Mary’s church in this city before going to Grosvenordale. His educa tion was obtained at St. Patrick’s col- lege, Armagh, Island, at Bastogne, Bel- gium, and at the American college at Louvan, Belgium. He was ordained at Mecklin, Belgium, June 7, 1879. NOANK George D. Johnson’s Power Boat Stolen from Moorings in Mystic and Found Sunk in Harbor—Personals. The power boat Spert, which belongs to George D. Johnson of Mystic, was stolen from the moorings at a wharf in Mystic some time during Tuesday night and was found sunk in the har- bor near the shipyard Wednesday af- ternoon by Allen Rathbun, who was running around the river in a powar boat. Mr. Johnsen was notified and he said that he had missed the boat all day, but had thought nothing of it, as he left her g0 that a workman could go aboard Wednesday morning and repair the engine, which had been running badly, and he thought that the workman had taken her for trial trip on the river, and when he was called up by telephone he was very much surprised. He came down to this place and had the boat hauled out and it was found that the rubber hose used for water connections for the engine had been cut and this caused the boat to fill. This is considered a dirty trick and it looks very much as though it was done deliberately, as there was plenty of gasoline left and no fault could be found with the engine. Mr. Johnson says that h2 considers it bad enough to steal a boat, but when she is sunk when she is of no further use ie going a little bit too far, and if the guilty party is found out he will be prosecuted. Miss Mary Berry of Bosion Is spend- ing the summer at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Coles in Bmith court. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Daniels of Had- lymie are visiting friends in the vil- lage. Inspector Stone Arrives. Mr. Stone, who will act as inspector on the three menhaden steamers to be built at the shipyard for McKazevers Brothers of New York, arrived in the village yesterday. She sloop yacht Countess of Boston is hauled out on the north ways for repairs and painting. Capt. Henry Langworthy arrived in the village Thursday from New York. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Savern of New York are visiting friends here. Stock Market Movements. ‘Wall street has the conscience of a wrongdoer. It shies at every noise and takes to the tall timber at every hap- pening. See how stocks dropped be- cause of Chief Justice Fuller's death. —Memphis News-Scimitar. If those manipulators in Wall street keep hammering down the values, the cost of living will solve itself. The purchasing value of the dollar will keep increasing correspondingly.—St. Paul Dispatch. Evidently the stock market needs something besides a Test cure.—Al- bany Evening Journal. The stock market found in the death of Chief Justice Fuller another reason for worry, as probably will mean fur- ther delay of the anti-trust and cor- poration tax cases. The losses were much greater than they would have been if the -market was not weak throughout.—Buffalo Express. Stocks have gone down according to the natural law that when they can 2o no higher they go the other way.— Sioux City Tribune. ‘When stocks slump on account of poor crops there's a reason for it— Milwaukze Journal. A Good Record. The sudden, premature death of Lieut. Edward Y. Miller, United States army, governor of the island of Pala- ‘wan, in the Philippines, removes a man of a type that deserves value above computable price. Practically single- handed, he could not only lead the Palawans to victory against their Moro foes, but also teach tham to con- quer themselves, change from a nomad to an agricultural and trading tribe, and become friends of the Americans. A person that worked the Golden Rule, he won the powar that certainly not a <ompany, probably not a battalion, possibly not a regiment of troops can now replace, and he drew $183 a month, never asked for promotion, and was always asking for appropriations for Palawan uplift, and none for himself. —Boston Herald. A prayer-book was among the arti- cles found in the stomach of an ostrich dissected in London. STONINGTON bodicbohdd.

The pond once before seemsd to get in a’ bad condi- i tion, and the company cleaned the gond and has kept it 80 ever since, The ueshing of the hydrants seems to help the cause. Found Flint Arrowhead. ‘While Araldo Gardiner was digging in the yard of the Noyes property on ‘Wadawanuck park, south, Tuesday, he found a fine flint arrowhead of large ize.

Henry Spencer, a painter emploved at the Atwood Machine company, died suddenly at his home, on School street, shortly before 5 p. m. Wednesday. He was at work in the shop, as usual, when he was suddenly taken ill and fell to the floor. This was about 4.30 p. m. Dr. Thurber was called, and the unconscious man was taken to his home in an automobile and revived somewhat, but he did not wholly rally from the attack and sank into another one and expired after the third spell. He leaves a wife, three daughters, Mrs. George Avery of New Haven and Misses Maud and Edna Spencer, and one son, Orrin Spencer, of the bor- ough. Mr. Spencer was born in No- ank, and was 54 years old.

The old town booths will be used. The attention of the selectmen to the need of lights in thhem has been made. With the ad- vent of the new ballot they are greatly needed. Unknown Man Buried. Pa., No identification of the man who was killed Wednesday morning has re- sulted, although the selectmen tried to communicate with the address foun The remains were buried by the selec! men at 2 p. m. Thursday at the town farm. The Reasorns Why. One of the reasons why rubber is so high is that the rubber plantatiens have been developed as speculative en- terprises on the gasbag basis. One instance is reported by an American consul in Malaysia. An 2state on which there were rubber trees was sald to a promgtion syndicate for $150,000. Appraisers' were secured and the valu- ation lifted wup through successive viewings to $750,000. Then the pro- moters made it an even $800,000 and sold the stock on that basis. The prices of rubber above the cost of production were maintained so high that the enterprise prospered in spite of that tremendous watering of the agricultural resources, and the people who buy rubber are paying for that watering. It is the same way all over in the rubber business. If the growers do not gat the price the handlers do.— Worcester Telegram. Not to Be Pitied. The pathos of age and pain will give emphasis to the gratitude and regard in which he is held. But Dr. Pearsons is not to be pitied. He has parted with one fortune in exchange for the Ith that is of worth to him v—“which moth and rust doth not corrupt nor thieves break through and steal.” He has risen out of the anonymous ranks of the rich to a place in the history of enlightened philan- thropy. He has nobly lightened him- self of that burden which makes it 2asier for a camel to pass through the needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.—Chicago Tribune. e Rockefelle Best Story. Rockefeller’'s favorite story is about two Irishmen who were discussing him and his wealth. Rockefeller tells it as follows: “Do yez know,” said Pat_to his friend, “that this Rockyfellet is the richest man in the world?” “Yez don’t say so!” answered Mike. “Yis, he is, and ivry toime that clock ticks off a minute he is $1,000 richer.” “Be jabers,” replied Mike, “‘git me an axe and Oi'll smash the clock."—Ex- change. The Popular Neglect. ‘The people of the United States are sovereign. They are the real, as they are the theoretical, source and supply of power, but th2y have permitted their power in large measure to be taken from them and turned against ther They have blindly and weakh tolerate the embezzlers of power and =ncour- aged them to multiply and wax strong, They are confronted now with th practical problem of recovering their own, and of finding ways and means to put an end to wholesale emb:zzle- ment from this time forth.—New York Independent.

Some democrats are out of patience again with Mayor Thayer. Tom Mol loy of New Haven, member of the d ocratic state central committee, is one of them. But we don't see why he should care much. He is without party hope, anyway. He says young demo- crats are joining the Young Man'g Republican” club in droves. “Every- body seems 1o be deserting the party and going over to the republicans,” he says, He is afraid he v be the last democrat left, as he can’'t change his politics any more than his religion. 1t would be entertaining to hear Thayer say what he thinks of Molloy.—Water- bury American. 2 : Where to Trade in Jewett City CIGARS, TOBACCO, COOL DRINKS, W.
