The population of Litchfeld county

The population of Litchfield county
in 1900 was 51,214, and ten years later,

ton. The aggregate list of the entire

PAT SENT IN HIS CARD.

There was a lull in business in one of
the district courts, and in one corner of
the room there was a group of court
officers and attorneys engaged in story
telling. OF course, the Irish had to be
made the butt of some of these tales.

Hon. T. III. Franklin, two raw Irish
men settled in Southern Louisiana.
They went into the cooperage business
and did fairly WELL Finally one of
them branched out as a levee contrac-
tor and made a fortune. When he had
accumulated his wealth he was filed
with a desire to return to his native
country and take a position in the front
rank of society that his money would
bring him. He disposed of his interests
over here and went to his native
country, where he purchased a dilapi-
dated castle and took on all the airs
of Irish aristocracy. A few years later

ness concluded to make a trip to Ire.

LITCHFTELD's STATISTICS.

Gathered for 1910 by the Waterbury

Perhaps some antiquarian, who lives
to ponder over statistics, will be inter

growth of the various towns Of Litch-

fetal facts and figures regarding the
various towns of the county, taken
from the census of 1910. 1t will be OBJ
served that Winchester was then one of
the smallest towns in Litchfield county,
In point of population, and that quite a
number of towns surpassed Winchester
In other respects besides population:

REBELS CONTROL
LUzON ISLAND
Its Conquest Is Nearly
Complete.
ALL BUT MANILA AND CAVlTE
sPANIARDS DRIVEN OUT OF
EVERY POSITION.
ALL BUT MANILA AND CAVITE
General Otis Notifies Aguinaldo to
Withdraw From the Suburbs of
Manila or Take the Con-
sequences.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE Manila cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
September 9, says:
The insurgent conquest of the island
of Luzon is rapidly approaching COM
pletlon. Recent authentic reports an
rcunce the capture of successive Span
ish positions and at present the rebels
control every foot Of the island except
Manila, Cavite and a small portion Of
the province of Albay.
They hold over 5000 Spanish prison.
ers and have recently captured several
thousand rifles, some cannon, large
quantity of ammunition and several
armed stands. The Spaniards held out
valorously, but were fighting against
the inevitable.
1t is undeniable that the action Of the
insurgents in pursuing the campaign
after an armistice was declared has
caused much useless suffering and de-
struction of property and has annihil-
ated their every claim to be considered
in any respect as the allies OF the
Americans. Their motive has been
twofold-first, an implacable hatred Of
the Spanish, with an innate racial
thirst for revenge, and secondly, their
wish to place themselves on record be-
fore the world as a successful revolu-
tionary government and as complete
masters of the Luzon provinces and as
many adjacent islands as they may
have to occupy before the Philippine
question has been settled by the Paris
commission.
They are now free to with draw their
troops to make an expedition against
Panay and to capture Iloilo. Bv con-
tinuing the campaign now, regardless
of the armistice, they put themselves
in the wrong with everybody, just as
by crowding into the suburbs of Ma
Mia, and refusing to vacate the same
unless compelled by superior force, they
have put themselves in the wrong with
the Americans.
Their action is doubtless due partly
to the disorganiZation of their force,
which, by their own confession, con-
sists Of an aggregation Of Independent
units with chiefs, each ambitious of
power and distinction and all strug-
Cling for positions which will secure
for everybody booty or otherwise pri-
vate fortune. This INSTRUMENTATION.
which naturally affects the irresponsi-
BILE individuals, has been constantly
fomenting the irritation resulting from
the dual occupation Of the suburbs of
Manila. The situation has been i'm
possible from the beginning, and con-
flicts have been avoided only by the
great tact and extraordinary patience
Of the American troops, who Loyalty OBJ
serve their duty Of preserving the peace
Of the town.
The policy Of permitting the insur-
gents to occupy the Spanish positions
has been fruitful in many difficulties.
not the least of which Is the stimulus
given to the conceit of the natives, who
consider themselves the conquerors of
Manila, although they captured not a
single position when the town was
taken.
General Otis has attacked the COM
