EDGAR ALLAN POE ENTERED BUNGALOW Man Had Frozen Ears In Spite of Fire in Garbage Pa A man who gave his name as Edgar Allan Poe was arrested in the Ander- son bungalow at Stonington by Sher- ift Broughton and was ordered to leave town. He acted like a man who wasn't in his right mind. . Both his ears were frozen and he said he had been subsisting for the last four da on oysters and snails that he sot along shore. But the queerest part of the case was the explanation that he gave for his_presence at the bungalow. He said that he was in the employ of the government and was engaged in m CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION IN RATE AGREEMENTS Testimony on Sound Lines Resumed Before Interstate Commi; Adrian H. Boole, special agent for the Interstate Commerce Commission, resumed his testimony Monday morn- ing at the hearing on the proposed separation of _the Sound steamboat lines from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad company. Mr. Boolc took up the conditions existing on the New London and Hart- ford water lines. The Hartford and New York Transportation company, he testified, has favored certain shippers and receivers. He said that there Were numerous instances of discrimi- nation in freight rate agreements and ing an imaginary line for coast de- |cited several instances which, he de- fense purposes.

He took the shovel, went out, and left it | standing against the doorway. That was the last seen of him until Satur- day afternoon, when William Hallett, who is employed as watchman for the summer cottages at Wamphasseft Point, saw a man, with the aid of his binoculars, on the veranda of the bun- galow. Mr. Hallett notified James S. Anderson, Jr, and in company with Sheriff Broughton they went across to investigate. They found Poe in the big living room of the bungalow, which was black with scmoke from a fire that the man had been burning in a_garbage pail. There is no chimney there, the cooking in summer time being done with oll stoves. of a meal place. from Poe just how long he had been there, but it looked as though he had spent some time there prior to his visit to the town court room on Tuesday.

Color Bands Used to Designate Differ- ent Automol Routes. Men from the state highway depart- ment were in this section of the state Tuesday painting color bands on the telegraph poles along the main trunk lines. The poles are to be painted different colors, indicating the differ- ent routes for the automobilists to fol- low.

Besides the Central Vermont |and New Haven-owned lines there is an independent service, known as the Chelsea line. Mr. Boole offered exhib- its to show that strenuous efforts had been made to divert traffic from the independent to the New Haven's boat line. The witness then offered as an ex- hibit a letter from C. S. Mellen, show- ing that the New Haven had ‘con- tinually endeavored to secure the dis- continuance of the Central Vermont water service, so earnest were thelr endeavors to suppress the last frag- ment_of Sound Line competition.” A bitter controversy arose between these two companics over the New Haven's effort to restrict the competi- tive power of the Central Vermont's line. The result was, Mr. Boole said, that the Central Vermont boat line s restricted as a competitor of the ew Haven line, except in a very limited degree Further exhibits showed that the ew Haven controls or owns substan- tially_all the deep-water wharves at New London, Groton and Norwich, the three interchange points on the Thames river. The situation in Providence next came from Mr. Boole’s exhibits and statements. He sald that the Joy Line was used by the New Haven, although ostensibly independent, to drive out the independent Enterprise line.

These ten troops at the ime of the last officlal ro- port in 1915 had a total of 699 men. In time of war, however, the Fifth Militia cavalry would be recruited up to a strength of 1,202 men, and Con- necticut would be asked to furnisi two additional troops, making her quota 401 men.

SEEN AT THE OPENINGS. The Bow a Conspicuous Featurs of Spring Millinery—Tints Which Are Favored—Novelties in Combinations. The bow is the thing in Spring mil- linery. Whether high or wide, flat or at ex- treme angles, it is so arranged as to be the conspicuous feature of most of the new designs. In spite of all that has been said about a famine in dyes, and the con- sequent dull tints of millinery, no- body misses any of the gay and fa- miliar tints, either in straws, ribbons, flowers or wings. To be sure, much gray is favored, but it is a soft, springlike tone which would he employed in hat-building, during almost any season. Pustel shades are greatly liked and are artistic In effect and cof- bin Some of the new and most popular are jonquail, Du Barry pink. dove gray referred to, a delicate sreen paler than reseda and soft shades of blue. Of course black and whits still have a great vogue: and theer are tints of rose and brown which are greatly liked.

A large eallor in white and sulphu georgette crepe was faced with black straw. Black picot ribbon combined with ribbon in the sulphur tine encir- cled the crown.

FEAST OF PURIM ON MARCH 19TH. Is Minor Feast Commemorating De- liverance of the Jewish Race. Puriin, a minor feast in the Jew- ish calendar, falls this year on the ueteenth dey of March. The read- s of the Book of Esther from a perchment sc-eli on that da; consti- es the principal fearure in tne nagogue service. The f(east recalls the deliverance of the Jews of Persia through the intervention of Queen Esther and her sman Mordecal from a threatened massacre planned by Haman, the king's vizier. In the words of the Book of Esther it com- memorates “the day wherein the Jews had rest frrm their enemies and the month whici was turned unto them from sorrow ic gladness and ‘rom iourning urto a good day.” It was e w531 that the day be suservel in a ous spirit t finds express'on in sending portions to_one another end gifts to the poor. (Esther, Chap. 9, verse L3t The 1cast bears the name ot Purim, becavse it recorded thal Haman tte arch caemy of the Jews, sought 0 Aix .ac day of their desiract'on Ly castine Furim e o a popular kiven in the Book of Esther, means “lots” The feast is more social in character than religious. It does mot require ces- sation from labor or any special re- lgious ceiemony other than the read- ing of the Book of Esther and the reciting of a few special prayers in- spired by the event commemorated. In former timee the celebration in some places partook of the nature of a carntval. At present the story of the Book of Esther is mot unfre- quently _presented in dramatized form. The injunction to remember the poor was and is observed faith- fully. During the centuries of perse- cution, the feast of Purim was quite popular, 'due, perhaps, to the fact that the story of deliverance from the plottings of the tyrants, which the day recalled, brought hope o fa similar_deliverence from the evil de- signs of existing Hamans.

Splendid Laxative for Elderly People Has Been Prescribed by Well Known Physicians for Many Years The Infirmities of age are especially manifect in a tendency to constipa- tion, and call for tre ment that will afford relief inl an e . natural man- mer. The rapid action of cathartic remedies and purgatives that shook the system should be avoided, more especially as the relief they offer is only temporary and is usually more than offset by disturbance to the vital organs caused by their violent action. Nearly thirty vears ago Dr. W. B. Caldwell, Monticell . prescribed a compound of simple laxative herbs that has since become the standard household remedy in thousands of homes. It acts easfly and gently, yet with positive effect, without griping or other pain or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans.. is seventy-one years old, and after using a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, wrote that it had done her a world of good and that she intends to keep it in the house always. Druggists sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle. It is MRS. RACHEL ALLEN a spiendid remedy and should be n every home. A trial bottle, free
