felt that could only give such testi-
mony for what it was worth, but fortu-
nately obtained access to Il private
diary in which all the important fea-
lures of the weather have been regular
ly and systematically kept for period
of eight years. These records give but
two theometric observations day,
about sunrise and sunset, so that IL
Il mean as generally understood can
not be obtained, but the data given
does establish beyond a doubt that the
conditions at Hot Springs are eNcep-
tional, as compared to the Black Hills
country in general. This also estab-
fishes the fact that as winter climate
Hot Springs corresponds more closely
with that of the same altitude and lat
itude hundreds of miles furthar south,
minus the disagreeablc winds which
there prevail, and which are here con-
spicuons from their absence.

III ,7ir,,, he Dear M.ut.

Col. kellar helped make the laws
that were passed last winter and he
naturally feels little pride in seeing
them ed-especially those for
which he is largely responsible. For
instance he caused the game law to be
amended and doesn't want to see it
violated, no more than any other good
citizen does. He therefore calls our
attention to the fact that the law pro-
vides that it is unlawful for any shop
keepers or butcher to sell the CARCASS
es Or parts. of carcasses of deer with
out his keeping in said shop, exposed
to public view. a certificate in writing
showing when. where and by whom
each respective animal was taken, with
it's weight and sex: which certificate
shall be preserved unto the end of the
year in which il was made. and no shop
keeper shall have in his possession any
such carcass or parts of carcass after
the both day of December, nor shall he
purchase any such carcass after the 9TH
day of December in any year. The
violation of this law shall be punished
by fine of not less than s25, nor more
than s1G0, for the first offense; and for
the second offense not less than $50
nor more than 800, and by imprison-
ment in the county Jail for not less
than thirty days nor more than three
months.

Newtown loses one of it's substantial and highly esteemed citizens in the death of Philo Clarke, who breathed his last on Wednesday afternoon at about o'clock. His illness dates from Thank giving time, and he has been patient sufferer during all these weeks. Mir Clarke was born July l3, 1918, and was the son of Zachariah Clarke and Han nah Tousey Clarke. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs Booth and Mrs Walker.
 The subject of this sketch was of type of citizenship that this or any town can Ill afford to lose. He was 8 man of positive convictions, and noted for integrity in all his dealings. In his religious life, the same sincerity was ap- parent. He was man who ornamented the Christian calling, and Trinity church of which he was a member, sustains a real loss In his death. In the settling of estates and other public business, his services were in demand. MT Clarke was chosen president of the Newtown Savings bank in October 13, 1883, sue ceeding the late Simeon B. Peck.
 The funeral will occur on Saturday at l 30 p. m., from Trinity church.
 A more complete estimaGe of MT Clarke's career will appear in a subse- quent issue of THE BEE.

Two we'll known citizens of Newtown Street had an experience the other night that they do not care to repeat. One of the pair Is popular merchant and soci- ety man, and the other favorite in so- eiety circles. It appears these men were on the way to the hnal meeting of the Mems Whist club at the town clerks res idence, the hour being shortly after can de light. Coming up the Street to the alley, between the residences of Attor- ney Beecher and Conatable Blackman, which leads to Carcas avenue, they turn ed down the hill and entered Ronalds' Park at an aperture Ia the fence. They then started, as they supposed, for MT Wright's. The merchant trudged along with the lantern, shouting to the slim man to hurry up, who was having des- perate time with hls rubbers. Their jour ney seemed q long one, and first they knew they collided with the exhibition building In the south part of che grounds. "Ginger, how Is this ?' shouted the mer- chant. "I didn't know they had moved the buildings" meekly piped the slim man. "Let's climb the fence," shouted the merchant. It was done, but the mer- chant had hard luck, tearing a yard of lining out of his oveTcoat. They then trudRed up to Carcas avenue, and started back again, as they supposed, to the point where they began their pilgrim age. But Instead, they brought up in the ditch at the foot of the hill below Mir Jonas They kept up the hill, and see ing light, brought up against MT Gan. non's hennery. Discovering in disgust their location, they made for the road, meeting the genial driver of local stage. They then set out down the road for the Boulevard, and although some what late managed to avoid an explana- tion. They didn't attempt to apologize for their somewhat bespattered appear ance, hiding their feet behind convenient chairs. The slim man was so excited over the adventure that he skipped out of town the following day, and at last re- ports was in hiding In Danbury. It Is not known how the facts got out.

Every woman wants one or more black dresses. If she is to be content with only one, that one should be good one-black that will remain black as long as she chooses to wear it, or even make it over.
 The distinguishing feature of our Black Gown Stuffs is their reliability, their durability. The richly beautiful black continues in full, dependable and entirely satisfactory shade as long as the goods last. The principal saving comes with the last half of the service rather than the first pert, when the longing for a good black is not dis. turbed by any change to rusty brown or other undesirable effects.
 The seasons new blacks, like goods in colors, the plainer weaves predomi- nate. Among the most conspicuous ones are the canvas, kurl canvas, diago- nal canvas, mohair canvas, cheviot, etamine cheViot, diagonal cheviot, pop lin, granite, granite mohair, etamine, serges, henriettas, mourning cloths, melrose and an assortment of the open meshed and diaphanous stuffs such as grenadines, lenos and the like.
