IRA RUGGLES wILDMAN.


 At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ezra Hawley, on Montgomery street, the yen cradle citizen, Ira k. Wiidman, departed this life. He passed away as peacefully as child falling asleep, Monday morn ing, in the eighty-sixth year of his age.
 He was born in Danbury on the seventh day of December, I793 In 1915 he was made a Free Mason in Pine Plains, N Y, and from that event during the rest of his life he was most devoted member of the order. October 15, 1918, he joined by permit Union Lodge of Danbury, and was elected Worshipful Muster in the years of 1922 -24-25-26-27 and A. In 1927 he joined the Chapter and was elected High Priest, holding the office until 1853 period of twenty-siX years, the longest term of this office ever held by one man ill the history of the Chapter. He was post master of Danbury during the ad- ministration of President Polk He also held various offices in the vlllags. By trade he was a shoe maker. He served in the war of 1872, in 1915 he was married. His wife died in 1875) just sixty years af- ter their marriage. The deceased was the father of Mir. Levi K. Wildman, editor of the Democrat, beside whom he had five children.
 His last illness was brief, but apparent ly painless. On Tuesday of last week he Was on the street. but having over ex- erted himself in walking he was confined to the house after that, and died on Mon- day of this week. MT. Willman was one of our best known citizens and one of the very few who began life in the eighteenth century. Although living outside of the village (Beaver Brook district), yet he was a man of such physical vigor as to be active in village matters, and so was ire quently seen upon our streets, walking as readily as i man of fifty. In all business and social relations he was 8 man of un- blemished integrity, and so he has passed to his rest, leaving behind him d name that is cherished by his family and hon. ored and respected by his fellow citizens.
 The funeral took place Wednesday, af- ternoon with Masonic honors. The re- mains were buried in the Great Plain metery.-Ddabury Necs.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

ADDRESS BEFORE THE LEGISLATIVE COM
 MITTEE AT HARTFORD.
 The final meeting Of the legislative committee on woman suffrage was held in Hartford yesterday. Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker said that there are three bills before the legislature; ono asking that women may vote on all questions relating to the sale of liquor; another that they may vote in school districts ]; and the third that all tax-paying women may vote. She asked that Mrs. Lawrence a lady present, might be heard on the first bill, aS she is engaged i'll the tenn perance work, and that lady took the platform. She described some of the manifest evils of intemperance, and argued that, for some reason, men hes itate about taking proper measures to suppress these evils. Women are ear nestly interested i'll the abolition of the liquor traffic, and are urging men to, aets. Driven 10 desperation i'll Ohio, they start ed crusade of their own, and by their prayers and importunities sought to res cue the fallen and persuade the liquor seller to abandon his ways. It seemed to her that as women suffer far more from intemperance than men, they are especially fitted to vote oil the liquor question. If women had the ballot, not | one whether mother. wife, or sister, would cast It except to put n stop LO the traffic. We hope that this bill will pass so that Connecticut may take the lead, and it is for men to say whether we shall have the ballot, and they are becoming, she thought, more disposed to grant it. In this nation we are in tue midst of want and distress; vice is5 destroying the sources of the country, stnd intelligent and right-mindcd men must feel the need | of a reserve force to protect them such as the vote of women can furnish. The lady was li5eraliy applauded.
 1 Mrs. Hooker spoke first of the bill giving women the right to vote in school district meetings, showing in how many matters affecting schools women are not only more directly interested but have more special adoption than men, and asked if there could be any reasonable objection raised to the introduction oi women in these matters. For herself she would be more particular than some il I the employment of school teachcrs. She would have no teacher who did not speak accurately always. because q violation oi grammatical rules is fatnl i'll the educa. ton of a child.

SERIOUSLY HURT.

Mr. Isaac Hawley was seriously injured last Wednesday morning, by being kicked and trampled upon by one of his horses. Mir. Hawley went out to his barn, accom- panied by his little grandson, son of MT. Homer Hawley, and in a short time the little boy ran out screaming. The cries attracted the attention of Mr. Homer Hawley and the hired man. They ran to the stable and found MT. H. laying beneath the horse, and on being taken into the house he was found to he uncon- scious and Dr. r. N. Bennett was im- mediately called, and on examination found that Mir. H had received injuries about the head. On Friday Mir. Hawley was better, but unable to give any infor- nation as to how the accident happened. MT. Hawley is 72 years of age and has been feeble for some time past. We are in hopes that he will soon recover.

Bazaar Patterns.


 During the last seven years We have manufactured and sold nearly five mil- lion (5,000. .0oO) Bazaar Patterns. and in that time we have not heard of a single complaint. When we commenced the pattern business it was our determination to have nothing but the best: to accom- plish this we found necessary to secure the best talent in the country, men who could furnish styles from living models and not from mere fancy pictures We were fortunate in being able to secure the services of Messrs. .Moschcowitz d Bro, Paris, and Moschowitz & Russell. New York. It is to these gentlemen the credit belongs for the excellent fitting dresses cut by the Bazaar Pattern Nctwith- standing the mere nominal price at which these patterns arc sold, the original mod. el of each and every pattern cut by us cost S25 in gold. The result of this seem ing high price ip thc nearest approach to perfection that can be made in patterns. We will take it as special favor to te informed of any imperfeetion in our pat terrs.

FEVERlSET LOVE.

The aecimated young man who has to
work for his living cannot afford TO marry
an unacclimated girl, one WIN has not had
the fever.
Even the richest merchants and largest
property owners complain of the expenses
of running away and summerng up North
for four months in the year.
The arcllmated girl is treasure in Mem
phis. She may not have yellow hair, but if
she has had the yellow fever, she is worth
mint of money as household gift.
The unacclmated young man who has to
work for living cannot afford to marry at
all, because he cannot afford to pick himself
and wife up every summer and skedaddle
towards the polar star. Among the court-
ing questions now to be propounded prior to
asking a girl to marry you are the impor-
tant ones;
"Miss---, have you ever had the yellow
fever?"
"Was il typical case2"
"Are you certain your physician was cor
rect in his diagnosis of your case?"
If the answers not quite satisfactory, other
questions might be put that would develope
the desrsd facts.-Memphis Appeal.

And then she stopped, the violet eyes
dropped, and Cen was himself again, as he
stopped toward bsr, saying!
Very we'll, darling; but must take you
TOO, for security"
Three month after the security was paid,
and the golden link of the marriage tie
riveted the agreement forever, while with
smiling serenity Mrs. Creighton, senior,
looked on, entirely forgetting her old advo-
cacy of Gertrude Mowbray, and her old
aversion to the little country girl whose
"pretty face" had attracted Cons sttentions.
