TRAVEL ON THE INCREASE.
Hotel and Railroad People Look for a


Hotel and Railroad People Look for a
Brisk Season.
The travel at the hotels begins to slightly
increase as the fall season opens and the
hotel men begin to feel that the business
season is started.
The De Soto register shows a much larger
number of names now than a few weeks
ago and SO do the other hotels. There is no
northern prospecting travel as yet, and
there will be none for some time to come,
but large number Of drummers are on the
road placing orders for spring goods.
The chief increase in arrivals at the hotels
is from points in this aud adjoin-
ing states; business men from the country.
The fall season always causes larger
movement of the interior population. The
steamship arrivals are also increasing The
railroads are doing a good business, but it
is chiefly local.
The hotels have no reason to complain of
the su nmer's business. The number of ar
rivals has been large at all the hotels De-
spite the fact that the De Soto was added to
the list this year the other hotels have done
about as large business as last year.

GERMANIA WITHDRAWS.
The Bridgeport Society Leaves the
 Saengerbund.

The Bridgeport Society Leaves the
 Saengerbund.
 The Germania Singing society of Bridgeport has withdrawn from the Conn .cticut Saengerbund, owing to dis satisfaction at the manner in which the Concordia society of that city secured the flag, which was contested for at the last meeting. All are familiar with the contention that arose over the Concor- dia's victory. It was said that the so- ciety imported professional singers, which enabled it to secure it. The case went into the courts and the Concordias won. Since then other societies who expected to capture the flag with amateur singers, have not entertained the best of feeling for the victorious or ganization. They have shown it in many ways and particularly so by re- cent steps. The Bridgeport society with the Arions of New Haven was the initial one to take the step, and the Bariche Harmonic of New Haven, the Mannerchor of Hartford and others may follow.
 About sixty-five members of the Arion society of Brooklyn will be the guests of the Concordia society for two days some time in September. The Concordia were hospitably entertained by the Arions on their recent visit to Newark and they propose to reciprocate in regular Waterbury fashion.

VICTIMS OF MILITARY TAX. /
Who Are Liable and Who Are NOt-A
 Sample Bill of Costs.

The question arose this afternoon in City hall as to whether male persons un- der 21 years of age were liable for mili- tary tax. On referring to the tax list and the statutes it was found that such persons although liable sto be called on for military duty are not compelled to pay the S2 military tax till they are 21. Apropos of this, why is it that the writs sent out to the delinquent taxpayers give the amount due as S6.29. On con- sulting various persons to-day who are supposed to know it was claimed that the costs can not exceed the face of the bill. Here, however, is the different costs tackled on the original bill: Copy 75 cents; service, 12 cents; endorsement, 24 cents; travel, 40 cents; justice fee for drawing writ, $2.45; docket fee, % cents; percentage on the g at the rate of of per cent, 8 cents; total, in- cluding the original bill, $6.29. Several minors in town today received writs for the amount but claim they will give them no attention.

CONNECTICUT HUckLEsERRIEs.

The Season Good One and the Bringcr
 of Pin Money to Many Housewives.
 The Connecticut huckleberry season is now at it's height, and thousand women and children in sunoonnets and "straws" are in the rocky old pastures daily gathering the crop. They quit the towns at sunrise daily with multitudi- nous baskets and pails, and trail home at nightfall, tired, brown and hungry, with a wealth of shining black berries. While New York and Pennsylvania have the big blue berries, Connecticut is the home of the huckleberry, and no where else is the crop finer or more plentiful. It is no unimportant crop, either, for by means Of it the country housewife gathers her pin money. It begins to ripen early in July and is not entirely gone until Septem- Der. At first the gatherers sell their berries at from twelve to fifteen cents a quart, but the prices quickly dropped and now it is from six to eight cents. An expert picker can gather from a peck to half bushel of the round hard berries in day, and it is freely admitted in the country that the "women folks' can pick two huckleberries to every one gathered by the men,. In many old country towns the housewife makes out to amass from $25 to $6O by berries in a season. The berries are sold to the town or village dealer, and by him shipped daily to the big markets.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

It is rumored that Tim Keefe, recently released by the New York club, has signed with the Philadelphia club. It is said that he refused to join with any other club until he had heard from the Philadelphia management.
 First Baseman McQuery and Pitcher Miller, late of the Washingtons, have been signed by the Troys, and good catcher and second baseman are being sought after.
 Brodie, of the Bostons, has made one error in forty three games, and five er- TOTS during the season.
 Boston's association team has the dis tinction of being the only team in the league or association that has not yet been whitewashed.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club base ball team and the Acmes played a five inning game of ball Saturday on the Rifle range grounds and the Acmes won by score of 15 to 6. The batteries were Delevieleuse and McAlenny for the Brooklyns and Donahue and Fox for the Acmes. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Athletic club at the end of the third inning, only two hits being made off Donahue. In the next two innings the Acmes batted out hit after hit making nine runs in one inning and six in another. The pitcher for the Brooklyns is a new one and is being given trial.
 The constitutional convention of the l.. A. w., to be held at Hartford the second week in September, promises to be largely attended and very spicy affair. The bone of contention will be the amateur rule. Members of the league will come to Hartford with vary ing intentions. Some want the present rule stiffened up and some think it should be unchanged; others hope to get it modified in the direction of liberality, and still others are determined to have it knocked altogether endwise.
