CREMATION AT BRIDGEPORT.

Town Clerk Robert Weber of Bridge port will make strong effort to bring about the organization of cremation society, and in the near future will call public meeting for the discussion of the project The meeting will be ad- dressed by members of cremation societies in other cities, who will ex- plain the workings of their organiza- tions. It will be on the plan of the New Haven Society, which now has 270 members Il charges an initiation fee of S2 and yearly dues of $2. Its opera tion Is for mutual benefit, and upon the death of a member the society assumes the expense of cremation, which is about $50 All persons, without re- gard to religion or nationality are ad- mitted to membership, although the membership is composed exclusively of men, notwithstanding the absence of anything in the constitution forbid ding the admission of women The heirs of members of the society whose bodies are not cremated forfeit all claim to the amount equivalent to the expense of cremation

AUG UST DIYS AT SARATOGA.
Famous Resort Has Returned to the Ser
 vice of Mammon.

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 21.-The height of the season is now on at this famous summer resort. Everybody seems to be happy and enjoying the many pleas ures offered In Saratoga daily. Every one seems to be on the move, trying to take it all in. For the past two sea- sons dullness reigned in Saratoga. The new village managers caused an ordi- nance to be passed suppressing gamb- ling of every kind, for which this fa- vorite spa had been noted and by which it had seemingly prospered for so many years. Last year the merchants were without trade; the hotels were half empty; nothing refreshing could be found in the village but spring water; in fact, bankruptcy Was almost the re- suit of the new code of morality. At the end of last season it was evident a change in the management of Saratoga government must be made; a meeting was called, a new set of governors were voted in, a set of officials who 'see through glass darkly' have this year the mana cement of the affairs of the village. The famous clubhouses were opened, the roulette tables and faro banks set in motion, horse racing with pool selling permitted-in fact, everything that is pleasing to the sport ing fraternity goes on unchecked, un- molested, with the hotels all we'll filled,

Yesterdays Stock Market Strong With an
 Upward Tendency.


 New York, Aug. 27.-To-day's mark ct was strong throughout and the up- ward tendency of prices was practical ly uninterrupted by reactions. The demand was so keen and the advance in active stocks so sharp that many active stocks were sought out and nov ed in the market, all at notable gains The movement even touched some of the extremely low priced, almost dis carded issues, trading in which always arouses apprehension in conservative minds that an upward movement is about to culminate.
 The strength of the market was ap- parently based on renewal of full con- fidence in the improving tendency of general business. Some of the roads are making record returns, but all are showing increased earnings. Fuller de- tails of reports of some of the western grain carrying roads show that the total improvement in their business Is due to the movement of general mer- chandise westward rather than to the movement of grain eastward. and this is taken as an important index of the improvement in general business. The continued ease in the money market in view of these evidences of awakening industrial activity causes surprise, but cheap money is in incentive to the spec ulation.
 The break in the grain markets was regarded In the stock market as going to prove the safety and abundance of the grain crops and melted special &C., tlvity in the granger shares. Rock Island took the lead in the group and moved up points net during the day. Burlington gained over a point, and St. Paul point. Chicago Great Western Jagged In the movement and fell off fraction.

NINE GENERATIONS IN ONE
 HOUSE,

HOUSE.
 E, M. Stoddard writes to the Nor Wich Bulletin:
 In a late issue you print letter from your correspondent of the town of Franklin, who cites the Aver property in that town as having been in the same family for eight generations, In Ledward, Allyn's Point least side of the Thames river has been in the same family for nine generations. It was granted to Robert Allyn about 1856, His son John next had it. Then fol- lowed Robert (third), Thomas (fourth), Thomas (fifth), Cyrus (sixth), Thomas (seventh), Cyrus (eighth, present own er). He has son Thomas (ninth) liv- ing with him.
 In Groton the James Morgan home- stead was lived on by nine generations. The land was first granted to James Morgan, about 1654-5, who settled on it, and was followed by six James Nor gans. The seventh James died without male heirs, and the property went to
  James (eighth), who fell heir to it, lived there, and had one child named Lucy (ninth), and sold the place few years since. He now resides in the village of Groton, or Groton Bank. Thus there were eight James Morgans representing eight generations, and then Lucy, mak- ing the ninth generation.
 I think the Christopher Avery family of Groton could duplicate the Morgans in generations on their original home stead. Probably the Denison family can do the same.
 The Cheesboroughs, Stantons and Wheelers of Stonington are likely to have their original grants and count nine generations The Gardners, de- scendants of Lion Gardner of Saybrook, Conn.,. have, I think, held Gardners Is- land for ten generations.
 These are few only of the first emil grants, but enough to show that eight generations are beaten.

Buffalo, N. Y, August 27-At the G. A. R. national encampment to-day Colonel Simeon J. Fox of New Haven. Conn.,, introduced a resolution request ing congress to properly vindicate Dor ence Atwater, native of Plymouth Conn.,, and who made the list or rec ords of the deaths of prisoners at An dersonville prison during the civil war Because MT. Atwater refused to com ply with certain demands in regard to the record he had made he was jrnnris. oned and honorably discnarged.
 It has long been generally believed that a great injustice was done MT. Atwater, and several attempts have been made to have congress set him right.
 MT. Fox made strong speech in fa- vor of justice being done MT. Atwater The resolution was referred to the new commander-in-chief, General Gobin. and the chances for favorable action are good.

IRISH FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Debate on . Motion for the Relief OF the TAI
payers OF ireland.

Debate on . Motion FOR the Relief or the TAX
payers OF ireland.
LONDON, March 29.-The Lord Mayor Of Dub
lin. accompanied by two officials Of the Dublin
Corporation, appeared at the bar Of the House
of omnon to-day and presented a petition
praying for financial reform in ireland.
In the House of Commons to-day Mr.. Edward
Blake. Nationalist. member for the south divis-
ion Of Longford. opened the debate on the qucs.
ton of the financial relations between Ireland
and Great Britain by introducing o motion for
the relief of the taxpayers OF Ireland. contend
ing that the contribution OF ireland to the
treasury Of Great Britain was ~unjustly dispro-
portionate to Ireland's population and resources.
Mr.. Blake said that the report Of tho comnis-
sion on the financial relations between Great
Britain and Ireland had proved that tho latter
country was unduly taxed. 1t was the duty Of
the Government to take carly steps for tho
adoption OF remedial legislation.
Mr.. John Redmond. Parnellite. seconded Mr..
Blake's motion. He said that the appointment
of the new commission was q dishonest evasion.
and was intended to shelve the question for an
indefinite time, but IL would result in Fastening
the day when Ireland would find in her own ma
tional Government the best safeguard against
Mr.. Thomas r. Whitaker. Liberal, moved that
while the exchequers OF Great Britain and Ire
land remained cOnSOiiuateu,A al PORTIONS OF the
United Kingdom must be regarded as ono coun-
This motion was seconded by Mr.. Thomas War
ing, member for the north division OF county
Down, who ~ classed as a "Constitutona1ist and
Imperialist"
Sir Michael H~icks-Beach. Chancellor Of the
Exchequer. speaking In behalf Of the Govern.
ment, said that the opposition ascribed every
Great Britain. In 1917 the Irish and English
debts had been consolidated and the exchequors
Of both countries amalgamated. Tho act had
been passed by Parliament by q unanimous vote,
because IL was felt that it would be u great re-
lief to Ireland. He denied the. stories of the
poverty and misery that were said TO prevail in
ireland.
Sir Michael declared that a system Of taxation
based upon taxable capacity was never success
full owing to the constantly varying conditions
in all parts Of the Kingdom.
Sir Michael further said that if tho Govern
ment restored to Ireland the 22, 1900 600 she
claimed as the excess OF taxation she had paid.
sho would contribute nothing TO the common
expenditures Of the United Kingdom, but would
receive tribute from England and Scotland.
There would be a further Inquiry into the mat
ter of the financial relations between Great
Britain and Ireland, tho Government desiring
to do full Justice, but, 4 would In NO wise depart
from the system established in 1917.
The debate was then adjourned.

A RIDING SHOW FOR CHARITY.
An Entertainment ut Durinnd's 10 Ala tho
Church Settlement Club.

Church Settlement Club.
Durland's Riding Academy was gay with lights
and music last night and crowded to the doors
at the entertainment in aid of the Church Set
Element Club, an organization of thirty-threo
young women, formed to secure funds to help In
tho carrying out Of the practical charities Of the
Church Settlement Home, 800 East Eighty
fourth street. of which Miss Marion L. Quincy

in the performance had the pleasure Of knowing
that the affair was n decided success and that
the charity will be benefited in a substantial way.
A pretty effect in the opening ride, in which
sixteen equestriennes and their escorts were
aligned, was that each OF the women imperson-
ated a flower, the corsage bouquets and costume
effects telling the favorite bud or blossom Of
each. Stately chrysantheInums tho regal rose,
the modest violet and dainty gansy had each its
place In tho floral list. as well as such ld-fash-
joined blooms as daffodils and lilacs.. Jeu do
barre, fancy mannuvres by a class of women,
high jumping, and tandem evolutions by twelve
members OF the Monday Evening Equestrian
Class, directed by Baron Wellington. were other
features. A great novelty was an exhibition By
Madame Marentette, who showed a high-scho6l
horse in harness,
