E. Merwin, Colo mel F. T. Lee and Hon. Josiah M. Hubbard of Mjddletown, candidate for congress from the Second district, will make addresses.

RedLights on the Bridges,


 A joint committee from the board of public works and selectmen met last even- ing and discussed bridge repairs. Com missioner Atwater's motion for the re- painting of the Quinnipiac bridge was re- ferred to the chairman of both committees, and the flooring of the bridge was referred to City Engineer Hill with power. In or der to guard against further accidents if possible at Tominson and Quinnipiac bridges the committee adopted MT. Barnes suggestion that red lights be hung up at night on the gates to indicate when they are closed or open, and also that the bridge tenders be supplied with life line, ladder and small boat for rescuing any unfortu- nate in the water. MT. Hill said that the Lewis bridge needed refooring, which would cost about $400. This was left with Town Agent Reynolds for action.

THE UNDERWEAR OF THE FUTURE.

THE UNDERWEAR OF THE FUTURE. "Hygienic" they call it. Just a scientific word for sshealthy." that's all.
 The old Romans had a god dess of health whom they called "Hygeia." Think of her when you forget the meaning.
 The "Harderfold Hygienic Underwear" to give its full title, is built on the inter-space plan.
 A double layer of knitting each entirely separate from the other, joining only at the edges all over the garment, sleeves as well.
 The makers claim and promi- nent physicians endorse it as be- ing the most healthy style of underwear. It's designed to keep the body at the right temperature, and absorb all the impure va DOTS.
 No poisonous coloring is possible, as the material is pure animal wool. The soft texture of the inner division cannot irritate the most sensitive skin, perfect blessing to those women who can't bear the touch of woolen on account of the roughness.
 Said to be the only strictly scientifically healthy garments in existence.
 Our ladies' underwear coun- ter carries them because we're convinced of their bona fide character. -..- Do you try them and confirm our opinion.
 These are sizes and prices:

 The Trouble With the Arions. The officers of the Connecticut Saenger- bund take exception to an article published in the New Haven News stating that the probable withdrawal of the Arions from the state Saengerbund was due to the jeal- ousy of the other state societies. They say: 'There was no disagreement between the Arions and the other societies of the Bund, except the offensive stand which the Arions took toward the Hartford Saengerbund on one occasion when they 1 asked that the festival arranged long be- fore by the Saengerbund should be aban- doned in favor of picnic given by the Arions in order to help them over finan- cial difficulty" The officers further state "that the secession of the Arions from the Bund is not desired, only a more reason able behavior and less pretentious claims. Unless these are to be assumed it's resigna- ton is welcome as soon as the charges which at present lie against it are cleared away. Whether the Arion society is able to carry out it's intention to break up the Bund may be left to the future. The bril- liant success of the last festival without the assistance of the Arions initiates against this"

WASHINGTON, Dec 30.-J. M. Matthews,
of Mississippi, who was the Republican
candidate for Congress against Congress-
man Hooker in the last election, is
brother of John P. Matthews, the post
master at Carrollton, Miss, who was
killed by man named Mcbride. Mr.
Matthews, who is in Washington, has
received the following telegram from
Carrollton:
"John was murdered by a mob. He
had been notified by a dozen men that
mob was going to kill him. He saw
the men with their guns and he got a
rife. When he did this the sheriff ar
rested him and placed him under bonds.
John pointed three men out to the sheriff
and asked him to arrest them and protect
his life The sheriff refused. 1t was a
plot and all were in it. John told Lloyd
"a young man working for him) he
thought they would kill him before night.
He stayed at the postoffice until his
second dinner bell rang, when he said he
would go to dinner. They begged him
not to go, but he said he would.
tFWhen he reached the hotel steps Nc
Bride, who was still in his drug store,
shot him down with shotgun, killing
him instantly. Not satisfied with this,
Mcbride fred FIVE shots at him from a
revolver after he was dead. The mob
then began dancing and shouting around
the body with the most vile abuse and
curses John had received several anony-
nous letters telling him he must leave
the town. The murderer goes free and

FEW people have a correct notion OF
the rapidity with which storms travel.
Many think that wild wind storm like
that of last Friday will come from the
wild west to Connecticut in one night.
Yet, as matter of fact, few storms
move as rapidly across the country as
the limited express from Chicago to
New York. One of the New York
papers said in its edition of Friday that
the storm which broke on that city that
morning had ragged in Montana the day
before. This beats any storm record in
existence. The fact is that the storm OF
Friday came from the southwest, and
the highest velocity attained Ivy the
wind was thirty-two milsS an hour. At
that rate it would require more than
twenty-four hours for the storm to
move from Chicago to New York. When
the wind moves at the velocity of a
mile minute there is a hurricane in
the immediate neighborhood.

DENY THE STATEMENT.

The Civil Service COmmissi toners Sur
prised at Mr.. Wanamaker's Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Civil Ser
to the President in reply to the annual
report of the Postmaster-G General, in
which Mr.. Wanamaker said that the civil
service examination ought to be inn
proved by being rendered more difficult.
In it's letter the commission points out
the fact that they have many times asked
high officials of the Postoffice Department
for suggestion as to the improvement
of these examinations, and have also
asked the Postmaster-General himself;
and that the officials have never been
able to give them any suggestions. This
report, they say, is the first intimation
that they have received of the Postoffice
Department having anything whatever to
suggest.
The Postmaster Generals statement
that from one-third to one-fourth of the
men furnished by the commission
through the railway mail service exam
ination have not proved satisfactory, is
denied by the commission in its letter,
which shows that more than nine-tenths
of these men are still kept in the service,
and the commissioners express surprise
that their work is not satisfactory. Thus,
the commission says, the figures of Mr..
Wanamaker's own report contradict his
assertion. The figures also show that of
the postoffice inspectors furnished from
the commissions list, more than 80 have
been retained. There is no class of en-
ployes, the commission says in conclu-
sion, which it is more desirable to keep
from political patronage than postofdce
inspectors. .,
