 We give up one hundred and seventy-fve feet of count CT space to the display and sale of waists, wrappers and tea gowns. A great space for Springfield; but we couldn't do with less-the stock is SC varied, the assortments SC complete.
 It is a great stock, compris- ing all the leading styles o1 the best manufacturers Strange indeed, if everyone cannot find something to suit among the vagaries of this collection. The prices are lower than such goods ever sold for before. Here's a few illustrations taken at random from the stock: At 25 cents-Women's ging-
 ham waist, plaited back and
 front, 1ull sleeves; sizes 32
 to 34 only.
 At 25 cents-Women's laun-
 dered waist, blues, pinks,
 and fancies.
 At so cents-Women's striped
 gingham waist, plaited back
 and front, full sleeves. At 50 cents-Women's fancy
 printed cloth waist, Jabot
 front, full sleeves, plaited. At 58 cents-Women's black
 and blue sateen, with spots
 and stripes, worth ST. At 75 cents-Women's best
 print waist, circular feilled
 yoke, trimmed with white
 braid.
 Maih noor oI fyncnOn street building.
 Another lot of Scotch ging- hams at IS cents. The great cutting of the last few days has badly eaten into the as- sortment---many of the best styles are gone. Every sold- out pattern replaced and many new ones added. Scissors will fash once more, and the best of styles will go just as quick ly.

 Brooklyn's annexation of all the outly- ing towns in Kings county includes Coney Island-and it opens new and better era for that great resort. Last Sunday the new regime went into effect. It was a new Sunday experience for that question able show place. Coney Island is now a part of Brooklyn, of which city it is the thirty-firs ward. It is now policed like the rest of the city, and violations of law will no longer be winked at or openly en- couraged. All the licenses for liquor shops in Gravesend expired Sunday, and Coney Island came under the control of the Brooklyn excise commissioners. The licenses for all shows must be issued by the mayor. All the ''dives' and "fakir" shows are closed, and the excise regula- tions will be enforced just as in the rest of the city.

ROCKVILLE.

Hartford Courant: A feeling seems to be growing among the democrats of the city, especially among the rank and file, that the post office appointment silenld be decided by public caucus. Fnis plan of arriving at choice does not seem to win the approval of all the candi- dates. It may yet, however, be the ulti- mate means of solving the difficulty that confronts the party, for it is evident that some very bitter feeling may arise from the fight now pending, and it is under stood that Congressman Sperry has no desire to mix in it. The situation at present is the same as it has been for weeks, with the difference that one can hear quiet rumors, and can readily un- derstand that there is considerable work being done that does not appear on the surface

Judge Jairus Carpenter of Madison
 Wis.,, has offered to present district No. 1 of his native town, Eastford, with If. brary of over $1OO value, being a full list of books recommended by the Wisconsin state superintendent of schools. The only condition, that of acceptance by the dis. trict, will probably be complied with. Judge Carpenter, who is cousin of Judge Elisha Carpenter, has done much for the schools of his own city and state.
 The Berlin Iron Bridge Co.,, of East Berlin, Conn.,, are again running full time, ten hours per day, six days in the week. The fact that this company has been able to give employment to their force on full time during the year past. when almost every industry has been more or less seriously affected, is surely a good recommend for the management and the quality of work which they manufac- ture. With the exception of March (and March is the dull month in the bridge business) this corporation has run full time for the past year. We do not think there is corporation in the state of Con- necticut, if there is one in the United States, that can boast of a similar record. The company now has contracts on hand sufficient to keep their full force employ ed on full time until the first of July, and as at that time the busy season in bridge building opens the company hope to be able to continue full time during the en- tire year.

Last summer the house was occupied by New York la- dies, who before marriage were the Misses Thatcher of Stafford. They opened the house to very large family of little folks, children of well-to-do New Workers, who availed of this opportunity to give the lit tie ones the benefit of pure air and pleas ant country home under the care of trusty parties.
