Kemp had some blank shells which he found last summer following the manoeuvrres of the troops about Hampton and he put a shell on the stove to see if it would explode.

E,, held its first meeting for the month of March on Thursday evening in the 'Elks’ home with a good number at- tending interested in the annual elec- tion of officers for which this meet- ing was the assigned date as nomina- tions had been made in February. Exalted Ruler William W. Beckwith was unable to be present as he is con- fined to the house with an attack of neuritis so that Laurence E. Millea, esteemed leading knight, presided in the early part of the meeting, during which three candidates were initiated. The election of officers resulted as follows: Exalted ruler, Laurence E. Millea. Esteemed leading knight, John J. Connelly. iEsteemed J. Kehoe. Esteemed lecturing knight, James J. Casey. Secretary, Edward T. Walsh. Treasurer, William R. Balcom. Tyler, John P. McCormick.

The installation of officers will take place at the first meeting in April, when appointive officers to be named are esquire, chaplain, inner guard and organist. Committees to be named at the same time are sick or relief com- mittee, house committee, and auditing committee. The past year loyal knight, Stephen in the lodge under the leadership of Exalted Ruler Beckwith, has been onme in which a progressive record has been made, a steady gain in membership being re- corded and the finances of the lodge /having been maintained in a satisfac- tory condition, During the same period the construction of the addition to the Elks’ home has been begun. Under the newly eclected exalted ruler, who is one of the most popular members of the lodge, a similar pleas- ing record of achicvement is confi- dently looked forward to. Mr. Millea joined the lodge in 1909 and for the last three vears has been an officer. He became esteemed loyal knight in 1912, filling that office for two years, and for the last year has been es- teemed leading knight.

He is employed by the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Co., as wharfinger at Allyn’s Point, having charge of the re-loading plant at the coal docks there.

Mr, Vincent immediately tendered his re: ignation, declaring he would not accept the or- der of the railrcad to be suspended. Vincent stated Thursday afternoon that he was undecided as to what vo- cation he would adopt now, but de- clared he was corsidering enfering up- on labors that would be more renum- erative than that of a railroad special agent. It is rumored that Vincent's activi- ty in the recent G. Curtis Morgan case had much to do with the in- tended investigation, it being contend- ed that Mr. Vincent devoted time to matters not corcerning the interests of his employers by associating with state and local Frosecuting authori- ties. MISS COVELLO'S CONDITION REMAINS MUCH THE SAME ‘Recovery Dependent Upon Avoiding Complications from Now On. The condition of Miss Raffena Co- vello, who was shot two weeks ago last Wednesday night by Angelo Ritar- co, remains much the same as it has been ever since the shooting. She is still at the Backus hospital and while there are some favorable symptoms, it is impossible vet, it is stated, to say surely that she is past danger. The bullet which entered her back, passing through the intestines and cut- ting them, caused wounds from which there was much loss of ‘blood and made her condition such that it was impossible to attempt to locate the bullet and it has not been advisable to make any attempt to locate it since then. Dr. Rush W. Kimball performed the operation of exploratory laparot- omy, giving her a chance for her life, at least, if no unfavorable symptoms develop ' later. She is taking some slight nourish- examining physicians and both testi- fied that Connor is not insane. The application was accordingly denied by Judge Calkis. License Fees are Overdue. The county commissioners are to hold their weekly meeting in New London today when they hope to se- cure the payment of the license fees in that city to the number of ten that are long overdue.

MYRTLE BAILEY’S HUSBAND WILL SEEK DIVORCE. Wants to Follow the Paths Does Not Approve. Says She He Raymond Bailey, husband of Myrtle Bailey, the young woman who appear- ed as complainant in the last session of the superior court against Attor- new G. Curtis Morgan, has decided that he would be a much happier man and free from trouble and humili- ation if he was separated from his wife, So he has decided to institute proceedings for a divorce. Bailey de- cided this today, said the New London Globe on Thursday, when his wife went to Norwich, where, according to her husband, she was to mingle with ecquaintances whom he did not ap- prove of. Balley declares that he will have nothing more to do with his wife and that he will not pay bills which she may contract. Bailey and his wife were joined in wedlock less than three months ago, having been married December 17th by Rev. J. P. Brown. Since that time their married relations have been somewhat other than they should be and Bailey now declares that he will free himself through the courts of the ties that bind them together. Bailey stated vesterday that he had offered his wife a good home and was willing to provide properly for her. but that she does not accept his off- ers but desires to go places which are, not of his aprroval, In New London on Thursday evening Myrtle Bailey and Frances Fraser Lyon came out of Frank's Inn about 10.30 o'clock, accompanied by two men and happened to meet Mrs. Bailey's husband on the street. He began to upbraid his wife for what she was do- ing when she retaliated by calling him names and followed this up by spit- ting in his eve.

ARGUMENTS BY ANTIS Made at Hartford—Mrs. Eben Learned Among Chairmen Who Spoke Bricfly. ‘When the anti-suffrage hearing was held at the capitol In Hartford on Thursday the red rose of anti-suffrage supplanted the modest violet of the Vvote-seekers who had been at the cap- itol the day before. Weakness had been apparent in the suffrage case, as presented Wednesday afternoon, according to Miss Marjorie Dorman, one of Thursday afternoon’s speakers, and for these weaknesses, these openings in the line, the antis plunged. “For one thing,” said Miss Dorman, after Wednesday's hearing. “they made too much of the working weman's plea. They don't realize that all the working women in the country, if allowed to vote, couldn’t offset the male vote which could be marshaled. It would only be about one-fifth of the workingmen's vote.” Mrs. Danlel A. Markham, president of the Connecticut Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage, made the opening address. She sai We believe that the work which the legislature is doing this year will be as_effectual as in former years, the safeguarding of the state, the home and the race. “I represent 16,000 women over 21 years of age who have joined the Con- necticut Association Opposed to Wom- an Suffrage. “As you look about this house and see the roses you can identify the an- tis. The rose is our emblem. Two years ago the legislature defcated the measure under consideration two to one. “We are sure that after you have heard the reason why we oppose suf- frage for women you will do likewise. ““We are constantly having it pointed out how women have progressed from the spinning wheel to the school, to college or to Industry. “What is the climax of this progres- sicn? The business of the state of Connecticut has been suspended for two days that the men of this state can discover what the women of the state really want. You have given us possession of the house, and the whole circumstance bears out’the contention of the anti-suffragist that without the burden of the ballot the interests of the women are protected by the men, “The Connecticut Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage has slowly and surely grown until now we have 31 organized branches, 16,000 women over 21 years of age, from all walks of life, and from all parts of the state.” Miss Elizabeth R. Burnell, was the nd speaker, “The men of Connecticut, we be- lieve,” said Miss Burnell, “want to be just to the women. As a matter of simple justice we ask you to keep this burden from us. Women do_not want to vote! Miss Burnell asserted that half truths are dangerous, and that her side believed that legislation is but the outcome of public opinion, which men and women alike form. In con- clusion she said that the ideal of the antis is the conservation of ‘women, believing, that womanhood has dis- tinctive characteristics which make it the completement of manhood,' and that it may conceivably spoil, its own special glory by seeking to! be none other than masculine in its| range and domain of action. Miss Marjorie Dorman, sanized the National iVagearners' League Opposed to Woman Suf- frage, spoke on the question from al business standpoint, opening with the statement that economy and ef- ficlency in administration were never more needed in our state and federal goverr ments than “today.

Selden of No. 270 Broadway, which had been left standing by the curb in frpnt of the Otis library, starteq off down hill by itself Thursday evening, about 8.30 o'clock, running into the rear end of ‘Dr. E. Stark’s smaller machine, which was standing farther down the street. The machines were locked tightly to- gether by the back and front fenders and were pulled apart with difficulty. The fenders were considerably bent. Mr. Selden believed that somebody For Rheumatic- Neuralgia Pains Rheuma Dissolves the Uric Acid Which Settles in the Tissues of Tender Nerves Rheumatic neuralgia is one of the most painful forms of rheumatism. It is due to weak kidneys allowing a set- tlement of uric acid in the tissues of the body near the tender nerves. There is no swelling or fever, but agonizing pain. Liniments may ‘dead- en the pain, but the disease must be cured through the kidneys. Rheuma, the splendid remedy for all forms of rheumatism, quickly dissolves the uric acid crystals and passes them off through the kidneys and bowels, and the immediate relief is so pro- neunced that you won't guess you are being rid of rheumatism—you will know it. “I_suffered with rheumatic-neural- gla for six y S. Tried different rem- edies, but not benefited untfl I used Rheuma. I have taken three bot- tles and am entirely free from the dis- ease. I was so bad I could not sleep nights; now I sleep well, and my kid- neys work perfectly.”—P. W. Miller, Catawissa, Pa. Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma, and will return your money if not satisfied. It is inexpensive, but worth many times its cost. CUMMINGS & RING Funera!
