ore than that. There were only a few
cyciers who had the courage last year, to
ride without leggings or CATERS. although
their more venturesome sisters in Paris had
been doing that very thing for two seasons
or more. But the gaiter or leggings is
doomed in 1896. OF course many women
will wear them, but not those who are con-
sidered to he authorities on the subject of
bicycle dress. 1t has been discovered that
the high gaiter carries too much warmth
with it; that it impedes the free use of the
leg; that it hinders circulation, and that it
is quite Unnecessary any way, but more
particularly that it is no longer in fashion.
Consequently it is doomed.
1t will require more courage than most
women foresee for them to be truly fash
ionab!e in bicycle dress at one leap. They
will have to grow up to it and an wait for other
women to lead the way. The average girl
rider in New York has the latter accommo-
dation thrust upon her all the time, and
without the asking, either. The large col
ony of soubrettes and the gay young women
employed by the vaudeville theaters are
not bit bashful about leading the way in
the matter of fashion, particularly when
that fashion gives them liberal chance to
show off their charms.
One young woman has taken time by the

rides through the park the horses almost

 Willimantic Journal: An interesting trio of distinguished gentlemen enjoyed a quiet reunion in Willimantic last week Monday. William StOrrs, Esq, for many years past superintendent of one of the great coal companies of Scranton, Pa., but formerly a resident of Willimantic as local station agent and superintendent of the New London, Willimantic & Palmer (now Central Vermont division) rail road, is on visit to Connecticut friends, and on Monday came from Hartford with his brother, Dr. Melancthon StOrrs, the famous physician, to call on their old schoolmate, Judge George Lincoln, of London, Ohio, who Is here visiting his sister, Mrs. E. A. Buck. The three were boys and schoolmates together on old Westford Hill in Ashford, where all three were born, and Judge Lincoln and Will liam Storrs had not met for forty years. They drove about Willimantic and to Mansfield Centre, where the StOrrs boys have erected fine monument over their parents graves. Judge Lincoln visited the old school house on WestfOrd Hill a few days ago, and found therein the iden- tical benches upon which he and the Storrs boys sat together, and the old school room looked just as it did sixty years ago, save that the seats had been changed around little. In the old days, he says, 1t was common to have forty to fifty pupils there, but now scarce half a dozen assemble for the winter term.

A preliminary and preparatory confer

A preliminary and preparatory confer ence of the anti Bryan democrats was held in New Haven Monday, all the con- gressional districts of the state being rep resented. The Hon. Lewis Sperry, of Hartford, presided over the conference, and Commissioner William A. Wright took notes as secretary. The first busi- ness before the meeting was the election of delegates to the interstate conference at Indianapolis next Friday. MT. Joel A. Sperry of New Haven, Judge Charles G. Root of Waterbury, and the Hon. David A. Wells of Norwich, were elected unani- mously. If any instructions were given these gentlemen as to what they shall do at Indianapolis, the nature of the instruc- tions were not made public.

 "The railroad collision exhibition con- pany' is the formidable name of an asso- ciation which is going to make railroad wreck to order for the people of Detroit. The roads concerned are the Detroit, Lansing and Northern and the Flint and Pere Marquette, and the scheme is to run together at full speed two locomotives each attached to number of freight cars. All of this rolling stock is ready for the scrap pile, anyhow, and the expectation is that large crowd will be willing to pay for seats in grand stand from which the wreck may be seen in safety. The collision will be made on a spur track near Detroit. At Columbus, O., recently 10000 persons saw a similar wreck, which was described as truly thrilling specta- cle. A similar exhibition that had been planned at Coney Island has been given up, as it was considered too risky even for Coney Island.

Springfield Republican: It will be just as we'll to bear in mind that the policy of the silver men is going to make big claims in the east in the hope that the effect will be to increase their chances in the west. We are going to have big racket of the Chinese gong sort. It will begin with great intensity as Bryan makes his ap- pearance in New York city, and will be continued as long as circumstances may permit. Mir. Williams, of Massachusetts, is the advance agent of the demonstra- tion. But after the heavy guns of the gold men are we'll mounted on every stump the real fighting will begin. When all is over victory is pretty certain to go to the side of conservatism and good sense. This is arguing from experience and some knowledge of the American people. It is quite too early for figuring on any other basis.

 The lives of Mckinley and Hobart, by Hon. Henry B. Russell, is out. It is the object of this book to give clear, impar tial, authentic and complete history of the public career and private lives of William Mckinley and Garret A. Hobart from boyhood to the present date; to record facts, incidents, anecdotes, stories and ex- periences that will reveal the true charac- terer of the men, and enable us to see them exactly as they are. It tells of the humble circumstances of McKinley's early days, of his life as boy, of his years of unremitting toll, of his life as country schoolmaster, of his splendid war record with it's manifold thrilling experiences, of his career as law student and country attorney, how he came to enter political life, of his achievements in congress, of the momentOus events that have trans pired since, and the prominent part he took in them; of his record as governor, of his marriage, his home life, and so forth. In short it is the most complete and exhaustive record of his life and work that can possibly be written, for much of it was penned by his own hand. He sup piled abundant material to the author, and gave him access to important data and facts that have not been supplied to any other writer. This is not only one of the best but it is the cheapest campaign book extant. It is handsomely printed, on fine paper, durably bOunda and is sold for one dollar and upwards. Its high quality and it's low price mark an epoch in the history of subscription books. lis author is distinguished as one of the most brilliant journalists of our day. As a personal friend of both candidates, 1t was natural that he should be chosen as their biographer. The illustrations are mainly from photographs supplied by Mckinley himself and by members of his family. They are beautiful specimens of the en- graver's skill. The work is published hy the old and well known firm of A. D. WOrthingtOn & Co.,, Hartford, Conn.,, who want agents everywhere for it, and whose | imprint Is sufficient guarantee of the eX- cellence of the volume.

HOLLAND,

Jasper Weeks and wife, Catherine, (cOl Ored), were brought before Justice David Brown at Holland Tuesday for exposure of infant child with intent to abandon. The couple are servants of Charles Un- derwood and came from the south in July. The infant was found Sunday af- ternoon in "Bush" pasture, about one third of mile from the house, secreted in the brush. MT. Sparrow and Sylvester Rider saw soap box and their curiosity was aroused. On making an investiga- tion they found the child, which, on being uncovered, screamed, frightening the men. They found Selectman George Kibbe, who took charge of the infant. The child was probably born last Thursday. It was fully developed. Weeks said that he placed the child where found, but SUD- posed 1t was dead. His wife testified in similar strain. She acknowledged ask ing her husband when he returned if the child had holIered much. The justice decided that there was not probable cause for binding over and discharged the pris. oners.
