A PRACTICAL EDUCATION.-The Storrs Agricultural School was established "for the education of boys whose parents are citizens of the state" This institution, located in the town of Mansfield, affords a rare opportunity for young men desiring short, practical course in the sciences especially relating to agriculture and hor- ticulture. Students are taken directly from the common schools-a preparatory year being provided for those not fitted to enter the regular two years course. The cost is very moderate. In the past many students have paid nearly their entire expenses by work upon, the farm and about the buildings and the grounds. A well equipped farm of 1SO acres affords means for practical instruction, this be- ing found a valuable supplement to the scientific teachings of the class room. The importance of 8 thorough education for farmers is more fully appreciated than ever before. Farmers and farmers sons should look into the merits of this-the agricultural school of Connecticut-and profit by the advantages there afforded. Examinations are to be held at Hartford, Storrs, Putnam, Bridgeport and Winstead. The Hartford examination will be held in room 90, capitol, Sept. 9th, and the one at Storrs at the opening of the term, Sept. 21st. lz

Hartford Times The man who gave his name as James D. Allen, and who was sent to Holland jail under $15O bonds to await trial at the September term of the superior court for forgery, has been iden- tified at Jersey City as Edwin Stoddard, of !Chicopee, Mass. He was supposed to be a we'll known criminal, and there was no surprise when a friend appears who claims to be Lawyer Wood, of Boston, and paid the $150 bonds. He went from Rockville to Chicopee, where he operated on a small scale, and then went to Jersey City, where he forged the name of John S. Wolfe of Pittsfield. He was identified by means of a photograph sent out by the Jersey City police. He proves to be one of the sharpest forgers in the country, and has operated in many states. He has served term in the Joliet (Ills.) prison, in the Hampshire county jail, and at va- rious other places. Among his aliases are Hamilton" 'Allen," s'Tenney," Woods, !" "Wolfe," etc. He is wanted at Rockville, at Bloomington, Ills, Bos- ton and Chicopee for forgery. He held the responsible position of bookkeeper for the Ames Manufacturing Company in Chicopee some years ago, and his family connections in that city are all respected citizens. The checks forged by Allen in Rockville were on the New Britain Me chanics National Bank. He also operated in Simsbury, Southington and Hartford.
 In this city he forged the name of Robert Walker to a check, on which he obtained the money. If the persons interested in the matter had been willing to coperate with Captain Cady of the Rockville po- lice he would have gone to Holland jail and later to Wethersfield. Captain Cady was convinced at the time that he was a we'll known criminal, but could not get the parties in the other towns who were defrauded to take any interest in the mat ter. His last offense will probably put him behind the bars again. Captain Cady will get his picture and place it in the Rockville collection. .-..

Reports from southwest Georgia indi- cate very intense feeling of dissatisfac- tion among the melon men. It is claimed that the shipment of melons this season has resulted in dead loss instead of a profit. Commission merchants in the northwest in telegraphing for melons promise good market, but in making returns they say that when the melons arrived they found the market glutted. One man shipped three car loads of fine melons, and in return he received eleven cents. The explanation was that railway freights and commissions had eaten up the money.

Arthur Upham, well known in Connec- ticut, formerly employed at the Richmond stove works, Norwich, but who preferred prize fighting to honest labor, has come to grief in Galveston, Texas. For selling liquor contrary to law he has fine and costs amounting to $500 to work out on the poor farm. As Sundays and foul days are deducted, and but fifty cents day allowed, it will take him nearly five years to satisfy this claim of the state of Texas against him. 4g7

IF the Stafford Springs fair is not a suc- cess this year it will not be because of untiring effort to make it such. Prof. Northrup, who made fine success last year with balloon and parachute, is again engaged for both days. He offered to make the drop head downwards, but the directors prefer not to have any extra hazardous features introduced. The sight of parachute drop is most beautiful one without increasing it's danger, and the better class of spectators best enjoy it, knowing that with proper care and a good clear place of descent it is reason ably safe. A bicycle race for amateurs has been provided, mile heats; premiums, a gold and silver medal. Professor Geo. s. Pratt of Bridgeport has consented to act again as judge in the poultry and pet stock exhibition, place which he has filled for many years, and none are more competent. Joshua Wood and Chas. W. COmins are superintendents of the poultry department. F. E. Fitzpatrick will have charge of the athletic exhibition. This is good selection, and this prominent feature of the fair will be in good hands and be made attractive. All signs are now promising for good fair. Of course with the necessity of securing some new attractions each year, many features oi each fair must be experimental and there are always some disappointments, but enough is assured this year to make il certain that visitors, will go from the fail grounds feeling well repaid for their at tendance. .

 arranged upon so grand and magnificent a scale as that at Bennington this week. This celebration is the continuation of & long series of events covering a century. The 18th of August, the anniversary of the battle of Bennington, is to the people of southern Vermont what the Fourth of July is to the nation. For nearly fifty years there has been more or less prepa- ration for the building of suitable mon- ument. The cost of the monument. and site has been in round numbers $1OO, ,0OO. Massachusetts contributed $1O,0OO, New Hampshire $7 800, the national govern ment $40, ,OOO, and Vermont $15,OOO and a supplemental appropriation for the site. The balance was raised by private sub scriptions. The monument stands on 8 commanding site, 283 feet above the Wal lomsac River. This river flows through the village of Bennington. The founda- tion of the monument is the solid rock The structure is an obelisk built of native stone and faced with Sandy Hill dolomite The height from the base to the top of the capstone is 3O1 feet 1Ot inches The monument at the base is 37 feet inches, by 37 feet 4 inches, running to point at the top. From the lookout room the battle field is plainly visible, seven miles away. The program of dedication exer- cises was as follows: Introductory ad- dress by Hon. Wheelock c. Veasey, pres ident of the day; prayer by Rev. Charles Parkhurst, chaplain, Boston; address of welcome by Gov. Page, address and transfer of the monument to the state by ex-Governor BE Prescott of New Hamp- shire, president of the Bennington Battle Monument Association, address of ac- ceptance on behalf of the state by Gov ernor Page, music, oration by Hon. Ed ward J, Phelps of Burlington, remarks by President Harrison, music, benediction. Secretary of War Proctor and several other prominent gentlemen accompany the presidential party. Rev. c. Edwin Griggs, of Chaplin, took train on the New England at Hartford last Thursday afternoon to return home, and died before the train started. He had come to Hartford on business, and just before starting for the depot visited the office of the state board of education at the capitol, where he remained half an hour or more, appearing In the best of | spirits. On reaching the depot with his arms full of bundles he entered the car and sat down, but had scarcely done SC before the passengers in the car saw he was i'll. The depot officials were imme. diately notified, but before they could re- move him from the car to the baggage. room he was dead. MT. Griggs had been troubled with heart disease, which was doubtless the cause of his sudden death He was GA years old. He was member of the Connecticut senate in 1868, from the thirteenth district, also of the house of representatives in 1886. He was 8 prominent citizen of Chaplin, where he had taught the principal school for many years. He had held the offices of judge of probate and first selectman, etc. He leaves a wife and three daughters. One of the latter teaches at the Seymour high school, and the other at East Windsor Hill.

Mrs. Louis Young committed suicide by drowning herself in the Connecticut river, at Middletown, recently. She was % years of age and had been suffering from melancholia. In letter for her husband she professed great anxiety for her children, and said: "There are three hair cloths in the clothes basket that I intended to make up into dresses for Bea- trice, and some deep embroidery for an- other, and enough of some little blue- checked gingham for two by putting white yoke and sleeves in one. Georgie will need some flannel skirts and stock ings, and Beatrice the same. The things to be made up are in the bureau drawers in the children's room."

Gen. John Stark, who commanded d the battle of Bennington, was born a Londonderry, N. H., August 28, 1728 and when he died, May 8, 1929, at Man chester, but one revolutionary general Sumpter, remained alive. Stark's career was interesting throughout, although his name is most intimately connected with the battle at Bennington. In 1752 he was l made a prisoner by Indians, and ransom. ed after several week. captivity. He fought in the old war against the French much to his credit, and when the news oi Lexington reached him on his NewHamp. shire farm, he at once raised regiment of volunteers and with them formed the left wing of the American line at the bat. tie of Bunker Hill. Thus Stark was prominent in two of the most famous bat ties of the revolutionary war. He served under Washington at Trenton and Prince. ton, and then he went home because con- gress had overlooked him in its list oi promotions. In that same year, 1777, Burgoyne's invasion began. Stark &C., cepted commission under the governor of New Hampshire, but would not receive orders from Gen. Lincoln of the conti- tinental army. He marched into Yer mont with his New Hampshire brigade. and the Vermonters and Massachusetts volunteers placed themselves under his command. After the battle of Benning- ton, he joined Gen. Gates, and with 8 new force of recruits he cut of Burgoyne's re. treat from Saratoga. Gen. Stark was one Andre as 8 spy. He served during the remainder of the revolutionary war with out special interest.

IT is a step towards better politics tha

IT Is a step towards better poI1tlcS that democratic papers are advising Gov. Page of Vermont to appoint Judge Phelps, a democrat, to fill out the unexpired term of Senator Edmunds, who has resigned. This is in line with the efforts to have democratic postmasters retained in office. A party which can urge it's opponents to such non-partisan acts may be considered to be on the verge of adoption oi such lines of action for itself. Here in Con- neeticut, for instance, we may look to see the next democratic legislature divid- ing the county commissioners party wise, just as they have been urging the repub- licans to do. r4.- .sG
