An extremely pretty wedding was SOL
smnized Tuesday evening in the Birming-
ham Methodist Episcopal church. The
contracting parties were Mr. Benjamin
Porter and Miss Hattie Downes, daughter
of D. w. Downes. The ceremony was
performed at 5 o'clock in the afternoon;
but long before that hour guests began to
flock to the church, filing 1t completely.
Promptly at the hour named the bridal
party formed at the doors and proceeded
Down the aisle to the strains of Nendels-
sohn's Wedding March. The impressive
wedding service of the Episcopal church
was used by the pastor for the ceremony.
Seldom is wedding graced by more
charming bride. The maid of honor was
the brides sister, Miss Ruth Downes The
best man was Mr.. Edward Swift. The
ushers were: Messrs. Edward Downes of
Bridgeport, Harry Birdseye, Theodore
Bassett, jr., and F. E. Bradley.
After the wedding an informal reception
was held at the home of the brides father,
and the happy couple became the recip-
tents of many congratulations. They left
a little later for an extended wedding tour.
Mr.. Porter is superintendent of the Anso-
mia and Birmingham Electric railway, and
it is chiefly through his management that
the road has reached its present high
point of good working order. The pres
ents were many and costly.

Harvard shall not take part in the Mott
Haven games next spring. So the athlet-
ic committee have decreed. They must be
consistent about the New England rule
this year, they say. Last year they re-
1axed the rule to the extent of allowing
Harvard to share in the Mott Haven
games and the cricket club to play their
regular match at Haverford. They also
proposed to let Harvard play O., football
game in alternate years at New York in
case Yale accepted the dual league, but
this year the, rule is to be maintained in
violate. The Harvard Athletic association
petitioned early in the fall for permission
to send team to the Mott Haven games
as usual, and the cricket club petition
ed for leave to play their intercollegiate
match at Philadelphia. At the last meet
ing of the committee both these petitions
were refused. The athletic association
therefore is left without q prospect of
any intercollegiate games. Unless some
games are soon arranged to take the place
OF the Mott Haven meeting, track athlet-
les at Harvard must suffer severe re-
verse, Tor there will be no interest in the
regular college meetings without an inter-
collegiate contest In prospect. As the
only colleges that play cricket are outside
of New England, the cricket club wouId
seem to be In IN equally disastrous pre-
dicament.

Since the close of the free clinics SO gem
erously given to the poor by DR.. Daman he
has been kept very busy at his offices, 928
Chapel street, consulting and treating con-
stantly from MORNING until night. The
remarkable efficiency of this system is ex-
empli6ed by the constantly increasing
practice accorded to this eminent special
list. People are brought to him from all
parts of the state, while several are from
distant states. One lady went home last
week to Camden, N. j., while another re-
turns to her home at Montclair to-day
Both of these ladies are highly pleased with
the treatment and now declare themselves
well.
The wonderful efficacy of this method of
treatment may be seen every day upon our
own streets, several of whom would not
have survived until now, in all probability,
had not Dr. Damon cured them. Those
wishing to consult the doctor will find him

If you are sick you should at least get his

The action of the Consolidated road in
respect to legislative passes will surely be
commended by the people of the state. It
is a regrettable fact that the free ride bust
ness has tended to prolong sessions, delay
work and possibly at times demoralize
legislation. The last general assembly
passed an act forbidding further legisla-
tive passes. The Consolidated road will
will observe the law, but will furnish
transportation at the lowest Communication
rates. This is the proper course.-Hart-

Mails For Branch Offices in New

dred Letters Sent Direct Yesterday.
Yesterday at the postofice Mr.. Sperry
inaugurated the new plan spoken of a
few days ago by which letters sent to
New York city from New Haven in any
of the sub-postofice districts will now be
sent to those sub-postofices direct, in
stead of to the general or main Office in
New York, as heretofore. By the change
these letters arrive at their destination
several hours sooner than by the old way.
Yesterday in the first three mails thus
sent direct to the New York branch post
Offices no less than 500 letters were dis
patched. This is the first time to Post
master Sperry's knowledge that this plan
has been put in operation in the history
of postal affairs in this country. 1t was
hardly expected that the plan would be
put in force until January /, but with his
customary energy Mr.. Sperry began the
work at the earliest moment possible.
