FREIGHT PRIVILEGES To Receive and Deliver the Same as Other Trolley Lines of the State—Charter Amendment For Groton and Ston- ington Was Argued in the House. v i (Special to The Bulletin.) An act to amend the charter of the Groton and Stonington Street Rail- way company was taken from the house calendar in the state legisla- ture, Wednesday afternoon and cre- ated much discussion. The amend- ment was to authorize the company to transfer freight, as a common car- rier, on its line of rallway. and de- liver the same to consignees on its route, or to other street railway or railroad companies.: This has been done ever since affillation with the Norwich and Westerly Tractlon com- pany. Another section of the proposed of the charter, Mr. Avery of Groton spoke in favor of the adoption of the amendment, claiming that it only gave to the com- pany the same legislative rights that were given to the Connecticut and every other trolley company in the state. Mr. Malbie of tion as such pri anby raised objec- -ge would tend to obstruct the highw and cause gen- eral public inconvenience. Mr. Healey of Windsor Locks asked ‘Mr. Avery to name a single trolley in the state that had the islative right to c ight. No answer came. Mr. 1id this was only a forerunner of what would come if the amended charter were uged with gmendment acts asking for pany in the state. He said he was op- SUPT. DUFF HAS GROWING FAMILY AT THE PARK. Livestock and Aviary Increasing—In His Fifth Year at Mohegan Park, At park, the present time at Mohegan Supt, John Duff is finding his time occupied with the clearing up work and the care of his family of livestock, which has now grown to considerable proportions. With the deer, pheasants, ducks, geese, Hunga- JOHN DUFF rian partridges and rabbits he has a varied and interesting collection un- der his care. The pheasants have only recently begun to lay, and he is collecting the eggs with a view to putting them un- der some faithful old biddy hen who will bring off a brood of young pheas- ants. The laying flock now numbers 14, which he has in the pens. One hen has already done her duty increasing the population of pets at the park, and has hatched a brood of downy little yellow dueck- lings. There are 14 in the flock, which i the same number of ducks as wers hatched last vear. He intends to set| some more duck eggs. Supt. Duff intends also to secure| some teal eggs and raise a hatching of eggs These are a varfety of duck | of a dark brownish or mottied color, | The latest addition to the park fam- ily has been a flock of 3 Hungarian | partridges which were secured from | the state through Senator C. S, Avery, | They have been given their liberty, but they still come around every day for the feed which he makes it a practice to seatter for them, They wander at liberty in the park, Some rahbits were presented to the ! up to the park, The seven deer are| in good health and an addition te the| deer family is expeeted Supt. Duff is now in his fifth year as the Mohegan park superintendent, | and has proved unusually efficient in| all the work that he has been called | upen teo de. Besides the landseape;| gardening, whieh was one of the Parf! Iy requirements, he has had read | building, laving eut of ball fields and | playgrounds, the eare v and the livestock, and numereus smalj de- | tails in varibus other lines, ASKS FOR PARTITION OF THEIR INTERESTS!

Mr. Ryce of West Hartford also spoke in opposition, claiming the com- pany was asking unusual privileges. He made motion to table to give Mr. Avery opportunity to amend and the motion prevailed. Later the matter was called from the table and the language of the amendment modified, and presented in that form by Mr, Avery. This amend- ment was discussed, the amendment rejected, and the measure again tabled for further amendment. Then Mr. Ryce of West Hartford came to the rescue, and the matter was again called from the table. The amendment prepared by Mr. Rce was then presented and adopted. The amendment struck out all of the first section of the act, except the name of the company and date of incorporation, and left the second section which pro- vided for the repeal of the seventeenth section of the charter. This section prohibited the company from engaging in the freight business, a section which doeg not exist in other trolley charters. It was presumably placed there to sat- isfy those who appeared before the hearing at the time petition for the charter was being considered by the legislative committee, and to remove an obstacle that might have caused unfavorable action. Now the com- pany is not prohibited from receiving and delivering freight and, in that re- spect. has all the rights exercised by other trolley companies.

Nothing good for the American trade can come from the adoption of the proposed ad valorem methods of levy- ing duties on imported silks, according to Charles Cheney of Cheney Brothers and present head of the Silk Associa- tion of America. This extract from an article by Mr. Cheney in the cur- rent issue of Dry Goods gives his views on the matter: “The broad silks imported into this country are mnot staples. They are chiefly novelty fabrics that fluctuate in value according to the whims of fashion. It is therefore unreasonable to assess an article ad valorem when its value may change while it is in transit and which value is beyond the power of any appraiser to determine. “The cost of production varies in dif- ferent countries. It is less in Japan, for instance, than it is in France. Naturally American manufacturers need relatively more protection against Japanese silks than against ¥ren:n silks. Specific duties would bear evenly upon the products of all coun- tries, but under an ad valorem system the most dangerous competitor would be the most highly favored. All par- ties interested in this schedule, in- cluding the French chamber of com- merce, have been united in the sup- port of the specific basis. 'BEvery se:- retary of the treasury, with one ex- ception, for the last half century has advocated specific duties for silks, “The present schedule is probao'y the most satisfactory textile schedule ever in force in this country. It will be a real misfortunt if it is abandoned in favor of the unsatisfactery and il- logical one proposed. HIGH MASONS WiLL GATHER IN NORWICH.

Carlos Dart of Niantic Dies Half an Heur After Being Found. Under circumstances that indicated suicide while despondent, according to Coroner Franklin H. Brown, Carlos Dart, 72 years of age, a former New Londoner, was found with his throat cut and a superficial wound over the heart in a brook beside his home in Niantic about 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, as a result of which he died about a half hour later. The wound- ed man was found by Wallace La- tham of Niantic, who has been taking care of Mr. Dart for the past four months, during which time Mr, Dart had been in a poor state of health. When Mr, Dart was found by La- tham his body was partly in the brook and the wounds indicated that thay had just been inflicted. He was groaning, but unable to talk, and he did not utter aword, according to Mr. Latham, before he breathed his last about a half hour later, when he had been brought into the house. Mr. Latham stated that he had not the slightest doubt that Mr. Dart had committed suicide, asserting that he had attempted to take his life be- fore. He said he had surprised Mr. Dart in the act of self destruction not long ago, when he found him attempt- ing to cut his throat with a razor. Carlos Dart was 72 years of age and a native of New London, coming of one of New London's oldest families. For about 20 years he conducted a grocery store on I'own Hill, and .was well known in the city, where he had many friends. He went to Nian- tic to nake his home about ten years ago and lived in Pattagansett avenue. He is survived by two brothers, ex- Mayor M. Wilson Dart of New Lon- <on and J. Vincent Dart of Providence, a sister, Mrs, M. H. Beckwith of New London: one son, Frank Dart of New Haven, and a daughter, Mrs, Philip Faraci, of Buffalo, N. Y. SUMMER PLANS FOR STATE NATIONAL GUARD.

Norwich members have received their invitations to a grand summer ceremonial session of Sphinx Temple, | Mystic Shriners, which is to be held in |Hartford in Foot Guard armory on {May 28. Always unique and original, |the foreword of the invitation reads as follows: First in the hearts of her children! {Her brow is crowned by the glittering circlet of the Connecticut, where the shadows kiss the river while the roe |shad dart under the sewage of Massa- chusetts, and the sunlight crowns the hills; her bosom, 'neath the fleecy |staple of a thousand fields, outvies the | Parian stone, and in that bosom, are |treasures surpassing far Golconda's glittering hoard, or Ophir's shining {gold; her hills and vales are so divine- ly fair that jealous skies seem to hem |them in with azure walls and stoop to {kiss them at the horizon; stretching |in wondrous beauty to the seashore’s "shlmmpfing sands, where the mocking {birds are singing and the dog tree ! blossoms grow, and old Ocean makes unceasing plaint that it can but touch {the hem of her garment and kiss her isnowy feet. Here, 'tis said, an Indian hieftain, having led his dusky follow- ers over mountain, river and plain, in quest of a land of pure delight, espied a very Eden, and striking his spear into the earth, exclaimed, “Connecti- fcut!” *“Here I am.” Here, too, in the {fullness of time, near four hundred years ago, bold Pineda, guiding his storm-tossed bark into the quiet wa- ters within New London harbor’s beautiful shores ,raised his pious hands in gratitude to heaven and said “a million dollars will dig it out.” Among the toilers in Connecticut |are many loyal Knights of the Temple, and likewise unregenerate Sons of the Desert, who would come. beneath the protecting dome of our goodly Temple and eat salt with us. At the next Ceremonial session on the 28th of May, before the water is pumped out of New |London harbor, the Woman's college built, or the legislature adjourns, an opportunity unique and epochal, and that will never oceur again, will be given to said Sons of the Desert to join Sphinx Temple ,the best Shrine in the United State: Colonial Dames’ Annual Meeting.

Then it crosses to a cherry tree and covers balf of it where the branches are bare with its hundreds of blossoms—the other half of the tree has its own leaves. Some years ago Miss Carrie Thomas, whose home was on Washington street, enter- tained a lady from England, Mrs. Wis- tar by- name.
