The suit of the grand lodge of Con- | necticut, Ancient Order of United Workmen, against Mary E. Burns and others, which is to be tried at New Haven, is one of the most important fraternal cases which has been tried in some time, and the decision will have ' widespread interest in fraternal insur- | ance circles all over the country. | John W. Burns of Waterbury was a ember of the order and remained so ' twenty years_when he died. At death Mrs., Burns and Attorney | Lynch of Waterbury, who was admin- istrator of the estate, tried to collect | the claim of $2,000. | The grand lodge, however, refused to pay the claim on the ground that had been in the liquor business, is against the rules of the wr- ion. He had been in that busi- r three years before his death. The estate claims that while the| | rule might have been passed against allowing liquor dealers in the organ- | ization during his term of member- ship, that it did not apply to him, and t did the right was waived by that the society accepted his | dues for three vears after he went into ‘;hu business which the organization | bars. Word has been received at the grand {recorder’s office that at the annual election of offic for the vear 1911 of Thames lodge, No. 13, of Groton, the following officers were chosen: Master foreman, D. Lovett: overseer. Willard recorder, C. 8. Woodhull Davlis; Henry Balley; financier, guide, Cornell: inside watchman, Birt| ; outside watchman, Michael | trustee. Lincoln Holloway. The instailation ceremonies wilt be heid probably on the last meeting night in January and the lodge expects to have its annual rollcall at that meeting and s counting on having the presence of several of the grand lodge officers.

The indica- tions now are that it will be ready for the formal opening about Feb. 1st, and before long a large committee probably be appointed to take c! of the plan. In the preliminary of what might be done when the home is opened, a programme has been sug- gested that would extend over several days and evenings to make this a no- table occesion. OWLS. Narwich nest of Owis will be ready for the opening of its new hall by next Tuesday evening, as the committee has made good use of the week given them in which there was no meeting and the | refinishing of the rooms has been ac- complished, the furaiture provided and | all arranged to have the rooms in shape for the meeting next Tuesday night. Those who have seen the rooms | have praised the committee’s taste and good judgment in what has been done to make the Owls’ headquarters a spe- clally attractive place for both soctal and business gatherings. The accom- modations provided in the Stead block will be the entire third floor of the building. There is a large room fitted as a hall for the business meetings of the nest, connecting by sliding double doors with the adjoining eocial room. In the rear of the social room is a smaller room which can be used for committee or other meetings or pur- poses. The work of furnigshing and | refitting hae been under the following committee: W. R. Balcom, George H. Stanton and William Harvey. ORDER OF PROTECTION. Thames lodge, No. 326, had its usual meeting on Tuesday evening in For- esters’ hall, disposing of routine bue! ness and making arrangements for the installation of its officers, which wiil be on the 17th of January. Deputy William Kingdon of New London will be the installing officer and Grand Sec- | retary Jeremiah Wall is expected to attend with others of the grand offi- cers. Slater lodge, No. 509, began the year with its meeting on last ‘Wednesday evening in Pythian hall, at which Granéd Warden P. E. Whalen of New Haven, Grand Guide James L. Wheeler of New London and Deputy Adelia B. Walden of New London and Grand Trustee E. M. Newbury of thie city were visitors. One new member was initiated and the officers inastalled, making 2 busy evening for the lodge.

The New England Order of Protec tion now has 68,000 members, it was stated, of which 15,000 are in Connect!- cut, and what won praise for Slater lodge was the fact that it had taken in about 30 members since institution and now had 64 on the roster.

The bill now before the house of rep- | resentatives at Washington providing for a fresh codification of the laws of the United States proposes and proper. the abolition of the circuit courts as courts of original jurisdiction. There was undoubtedly good reason for the creation of the circuit courts as a re- | lief to the justices of the supreme court, who originaily did thd work. of circuit judge, each in a particular cir- cuit, but in recent years there has been little to différentiate between the cir- cuit and district courts. The elimination of the circuit courts does not impiy in any sense the elim- ination of the existing circuit judges. Their work eince the creation of the circuit courts of appeal has been main- Iy the handling of appeal cases, all original jurisdiction being in a large ineasure left to the district judges. The abolition of the circuit court will there- fore cause no hardship nor make any change in the personnel of the federal Judiciary, but there will be a better dofinition of the authority and jurisdic- tion of the different grades of judges.— New Orleans Picayune.

The receipts into the reclama- | tion fund to Juue 30, 1909, were $58.- | £39,408.92, and the estimated total re- 1 seipts to Jume 30, 1910, are $65,716.- | 179.06.

The total cash returns to the reclamation fund from water right | building charges to June 30, 1910, were | $502,322.25 and from water right op- | eration and maintenance charges $240,637.19. In addition there was to | June 30, 1910, an additional revenue of $2,086,173.78 derived from sales of | town lots, sales of water, leases of power, etc., which are under the law ! credited as a reduction of the cost of the project from which the receipts | are derived. On June 30, 1910, the governmenut was prepared to supply water in reclamation projects to 876,.- 624 aeres of land, and the area of lands included in the projects now un-' der construction amounts to over §,100,- 000 acres. No new projects have been undertaken since March 4, 1909, the efforts of the government having been | directed toward the completion of the : thirty primary projects theretofore um- | dertaken. | The additions to the reclamation | | fund from the sales of public land, | while approximating between $6,000,- | 000 and $7,000,000 per apnum since | 1902, were found to be insufficient for | the completion of existing projects with such expedition as the necessi- | ties of the settlers anA landowners | within the projects undertaken seemed to require. I accordingly recommend. | ed the issuance of certificates of in- debtedness or bonds agalnst the recla-| mation fund. The act of June 25, 1810 (36 statutes, 635), which authoriz- ed the issuance of not exceeding $20.- 000,000 of certificates of indebteduess repayable out of the reclemation fund, made the appropriation subject to the conditions that it should be expended upon existing projects and their neces- | sary exteusions and that no part of the same shouid be expended until | after the projects had been examined | and reported upou by a board of sarmy engineer officers of the United States army and approved by me as feasible, | practicable and worthy. The board of { | engineers sofscted spent the summer fu fleld examinations of the projects and has submitted to me its report upon each of the projects heretofore undertaken, together with recommen- dations as to the allotment of the pro- ceeds of the eertificates authorized to be issued. In addition, pursuant to my | Milk river, Mor.tana. request, the board has submitted its recommendsations for the allotment of rived from the sales of public lands to earry on worthy projects not ipating in the distribution of the loan. The report of the board is based nof derived from personal conference with the fleid officers and employees of the reclamation service and data furnish- ed by such officers and employees. In addition, settlers, landowners and oth- er parties interested in the projects were given an opportunity to be beard. The feasibility of the projects was con- sidered from an engineering and eco- nomic standpoint, the board giving consideration to the character of the projects, whether international, inter- ; state or intrastate, the relative amounts , of public and private lands capable of irrigation, the money already expend- ed, the necessity of completion of the projects in order to secure its return, the existing contracts or agreements ‘with water users’ associations and pri- vate individuals and the protection of water rights. The board also points out the importance of certain addi- tional legislation authorizing the sale of surplus stored water and the mod- 1fication of conditions of payments for water rights on certain projects which will otherwise fail of returning their cost to the reclamation fund. The sec- retary of the interior in his annual re- port to me has recommended similar legislation. The board recommended the allot- ment of the $20,000,000 provided by the act of June 25, 1910, to the following named projects: alt river, Arizona.... uma, Arizona and Callfornia Grand valley, Calorade. Uncompahgre, Colorado Payette-Boise, Idaho .

Strawberry vallay, Utah Sunnyside, Yakims, Washington. Tieton, Yakima, Washington...... provided by said act be charged against the projects on the amounts contributed for their completion The rocommendation of the board for the tentative allotment of the gen- eral reclamation fund among the va- rious projects for the years 1911 to 1914, inclusive, was as follows: Yuma .... Grand valley Uncompahgre . Minidoka .. Payette-Boise . Huntley . Milk river . Sun river .. Lower Yellowstone . North Platte .. Truckee-Carson . Rio Grande ...... Missouri pumping Bellefourche Okonogan Shoshone $2,250,462 *500, No allotments either from the loan or from the general reclamation fund were recommended for the foliowing projects, except for uecessary main- tenance and operation: Orland, Garden City, Kan.; Carlsbad, N. M.; Hondo, N. M.; Kit- titas, Wapate, Benton, Yakima project, Washington The lgst named projects are, with the exception of the Kittitso, Wapato and Fenton units of the Yakima projeci, completed or pearly completed. With respect to the said three nnits of the Yakima project, the board recommend- ed development of a general system of storage reservoirs for the Yakima val- , provided congress authorizes the sale of excess stored water, so that the return of the cost of building of reservoirs may be secured, but did not recommend any allotment of funds for the construction of reservoirs or ca- nals specifically for the said units. After careful coneideration of the re port of the board of engineers I ap- proved the same, belleving that 1t sets forth a plan for the distribution of the loan and of the available reclamation fund that, from an engipeering and economic standpoint, will best secure the speedy completion of these proj- ects, which, because of their charac ter, the needs of the settlers, treaty or finterstate relations. water rights and prowpt return to the reclamation fund of the moneys in- vested, should be given the preference in comstruction and completion over such projects or parts of projects which are more remote and may prop- erly wait until a later date for con- struction or secure water through pri- vate canals in the event the govern- ment is authorized to dispose of sur plus water to the owners of such ca- nals. ject to the condition that the amounts allotted to the various projects mmy be adjusted and modified from tiwme to time, as s found necessary for the in- telligent and proper prosecution of the work and the advantage of the service. I have authorized the seccre- tary of the interior to call upon the seeretary of the treasury from time to time, as the same are needed, for the funds provided for by the act of June $5, 1010, in accordance with the al- ‘otments recommended by the board and approved by me. Pursuant to the recommendations of the secretary of the interior and of the board of armiy engineers, I earnestly f:commend the enactment of a law which will permit of the disposition of any surplus stored water available from reclamation projects to persons, associations or corporations operating systems for the delivery. of water to individual users fer tlie frrigation of ey FALL and WINTER | Heavy Dress Goods for ladles’ cloaks, | suits lndxc-{'l;;Q'i!;sTgs&r.

This is a repre sentation of a sprig containing four leaves, varying in this respect from the other similar varleties of the year, which show but three leaves the sprig.

The most birdlike reptiles in the world are the beautiful iguanas of tropieal America. The smallest mem bers of this family, belonging to the | genus anolis, swarm in the bushes and | trees of the West Indies and in man; points resemble humming birds. Gosse in “A Naturalist's Sojourn In Jamai ca” gives a vivid description of them On a bright dey hundreds of these | brilliantly colored creatures may be seen on trees and fences, entertaining visitors by their gambols, leaping from brauch to branch, fearlessly enmtering houses and even alighting on individ uale. When irritated they will sud denly change their brilliant eolors for a dull sooty brown.
