MAJOR SHIRTS, OF COURSE.

Famous old Governor Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, was directly ors indirectly the source of many a good story. Here is one that I do not think has found its way into print: One day at a political gathering he was approached by a well-dressed individual, who shook hands warmly with him. The governor was a bit bothered, and confessed he could not recall the hand-shaker' s name
 .'Why, you must remember me, Gov jernor'' said the latter I'm from Richmond. I made your shirts.
 N-Why, of course" said the governor, with all 8 politicians tact. Gentle men, this is my very excellent neigh ber, Majer Shirts. ts."-Washingt Post.

NEW MILFORD.

Aug, 15-The past week has been an anxious one to the tobacco growers of this town, the extreme heat increasing the danger from severe thunder storms accompanied by hail. Fortunately the crop has escaped so far.with the excep- tion of the storm last Friday, which in- jured somewhat few crops in the southern part of the town. The hail passed over narrow belt and cut only few pieces. Harvesting has com menced, but not largely, the great heat making the operation of cutting @ haz- ardous one on account of the danger of sunburn. Many fields are now ripe enough to cut, but so long as the sun continues to give out such @ burning heat the harvesting must proceed with great caution. The crop Is fine one, having made a very rapid growth, which is an essential condition to a fine leaf, and, if it comes off well, will prob ably bring remunerative prices, The tobacco growers are this year hoping that the restriction in the Cuban pro- duct will be the means of giving them e1 cClLSi lCbuIil LOl lllCll ldboi lliall the5- have experienced during the past few years Undoubtedly there is a somewhat less acreage of tobacco in this town this year than last, but the reduction certainly is not fifty per cent. as has been reported by some papers. Possibly it may be a third less.
 The bicycle races at Conetia Park, next week Thursday, August 20, under the auspices of the New Milford Wheel club, promise to be very interesting occasion to the wheelmen. There are ten events in all and are as follows: One mile novice, open to all riders liv- ing within ten miles of New Milford; A mile open (same conditions); one mile open to all amateurs; half-mile race between Fred Pepper and Frank F'antz one mile club championship; one mile closed to New Milford riders; one mile open, all amateurs; one mile handicap. New Milford or within ten miles riders; half mile ride and run; five mile handicap, New Milford riders or within ten miles. The races will be- gin at D. m. A varied assortment of prizes to be won are on exhibition in the window of w. G. Barton & Co.'S. dry goods store.
 John Owen of Hartford, in the em- ploy of o. D. Case & Co. of that city, was here Friday and Saturday of last week putting new desks in room No 1 of the Center school building. Under the new grading for the coming school year this room will be No. 3, while No, I and 2 will be in the addition now be- ing built to the school house.

GRADING PRISONERS.
New System to be Introduced in the
 State Prison.

New System to be Introduced in the
 State Prison.
 The board of state prison directors at their last meeting at the prison, all the members being present, heard the re- port of the special committee on the classification of convicts, and after brief discussion adopted it. The special committee was made up of PresidenaJ. W. Cheney, Secretary Thomas D. Wells and w. c. Reynolds, of the board of di rectors and the warden of the prison. Jabez l.. Woodbridge. The classified tion proposed is as follows:
 Grades-The convicts who occupy the cells in the west wing shall constitute the first grade, and all the other male convicts shall constitute the second grade.
 Promotions--Ail prisoners upon arri- val shall be entered in the second grade. Promotions from the second to first grade may be made by the board of directors upon the written re- commendation of the warden.
 Qualifications for Promotion-The qualifications which shall render a pris- o11er eligible for promotion from the second to the first grade shall be gene ral cheerfulness and obedience to rules; steady effort in labor; healthy condi- tion of mind; absence of punishment for period of at least six months prior to the recommended promotion.
 Reduction in Grade-A serious viola tion of the rules and a violation of the qualifications for promotion shall sub- feet a prisoner to forfeiture of member ship in the first grade. Reduction in rank from the first to the second grade shall be made by the warden, No pris- oner so reduced shall be eligible for re- entrance to the first grade within a year after his reduction.
 Dress-Convicts in the first grade shall wear a cadet blue wool suit with short sack coat.
 Extra Privileges-Prisoners in the first grade shall be entitled to write one letter each a week; to spend one hour a fortnight in conversation, debate or lit erary exercises; to burn their cell lights until 8:45 D. nl.: to better quality oi tobacco than is issued to prisoners 1T the second grade; to one meat ration g day; to crockery dishes in their cells.
 The classification thus adopted vii go into effect October 1, at the begin ming of the fiscal year of the prison There is yet some work remaining to bt done on the new west end, which con tains the western cells which are to bf occupied by the prisoners of the frs grade. and the new uniforms are to bt made and much necessary work to bt done before the grades can be estab' lished. This will occupy the greater part of the remainder of August ant the month of September.
 There are twentytwo prisoners to gC out by expiration of sentence thi: month and nineteen to go out in Sep tember. Meanwhile the courts are no in session and there is no increase O. the prison population, making this z favorable season for beginning tht work of classification.

Were Defeated.

Havana, June 14.-Thomas Dawley,
the correspondent of Harper's Weekly,
arrested sometime ago on the charge of
being in communication with the rebels,
was released from MORO castle, where
he has been confined since he was taken
into custody. Incomplete details are
received of an important battle at Ma
jasa. Unofficial reports state that Gomez
is in command of the rebels, who num-
bered 5000 men. He made a manouvre
with the intention Of leading the Span
ish commander to believe that he in
tended to surrender the troops encamped
on the plains Of Saratoga. The ma
noeuyre failed of the desired effect which
was to compel the Spanish force to re-
treat. The rebels attacked the troops
with maohetes, but the latter repulssd
the charges. The battle is said to have
lasted AZ hours. Gen. Godoy, with a
strong Spanish force, arrived on the scene
and with his assistance, the troops sue
ceeded in forcing the rebels to retire
The rebel loss is said to have been 500.
The troops lost four killed, two officers
and 32 soldiers wounded.
