The editors of the New Milford Ga zette and Litchfleld Enquirer, two admir- able papers, by the way, are pulling each others hair in neighborly fashion. The Enuurcr man thinks the Gazette wants the earth because the Gazette man ''made big noise" because Representa- tives McMahon and Squires were snub- bed by Speaker Brooks in giving out the list of committees. The Gazette gives Editor Duffy thrust between the ribs when he reminds him how selfish Litch- field was in monOpolizing the county business. The Gazette came pretty near hitting the bulls eye. It was an aston ishing omission on Speaker Brooks's part and no mistake. If New Milford's lively and capable representatives, the editor ot the Gazette and Comptroller Staub com bined, don't get even with MT Speaker Brooks, before they get through with him, it won't be their fault.

 The far-sighted policy of President Clark of .ne Consolidated railroad, and those associated in management with him on the grade crossing question, is matter of congratulation. No railroad corporation in this country has been more aggressive for the aboishmcnt of dangerous crossings. They are alive to the public demand on this question and are quick to act where lives are endan- gcrcd. It IS a fortunate thing for Con- necticut that this great corporation is so liberally and wisely managed, especially touching these vital questions.

 EDWIN CURTIS IN TROUBLE.
 Misfortune has befallen Edwin Cur tis, an old resident of Strawberry Hill. It seems that Mir Curtis married widow with children, some 25 years ago, and at the time of his marriage, gave his bride a wedding present of deed of his entire property. The wife has recently died without a will, and her children by the first marriage have put in claim for the property, leaving Mir Curtis in his old age without home and destitute of means of support. Much sympathy is expressed for MT Curtis and it is hoped that further developments may put more favorable light on the situation.
 THE LIBRARY BENEFIT.
 The concert in Town hall on Monday evening, under the auspices of Mrs Brown, for the benefit of the library, was listened to by crowded house. The general verdict was, that it was the most enjoyable entertainment ever presented to a Stratford audience. The pleasure of any concert, or lecture, in the Town hall, is greatly marred by the constant pass ing of trains on the railroad. When we get our new library building, in which there will no doubt be hall for public entertainments, it should be located far enough away from the railroad so that an audience will not be annoyed by the thunderous roll of passing trains. The library will receive very handsome sum as the result of Mrs Browns effort. Mrs Elmer Beardsley was unexpectedly call ed upon to accompany some of the sing CTS, and as usual, showed herself compe- tent to meet any emergency.
