claimed that the eastern part of the

man (Henry), attorney general (Phelps),
and collector of internal revenue (Lake).
Mr.. Abel's nomination was seconded by
George E. Keeney of Somers. George
W. Randall of Rockville presented the
name of A. P. Dickinson of Rockville,
the present sheriff. His nomination was
seconded by W. Frank Fay of Rockville
The first three ballots resulted in 26 for
each candidate. After the third ballot a
recess was taken for dinner. After din
ner the fourth ballot was taken, and the
result was 81 for Dickinson and 25 for
Abel. On motion of G. E. Keeney the

Fair Notes.

While it is to be regretted that the
piekpockets were able to make so many
hauls it is nothing that the society can
help. The certainty of a big crowd at
the Stafford fair brings the Hght-fingered
gentry with the rest.
Ben Dodge of Providence made capt.
tai announcer. He has a loud, clear
voice and an easy flow of language. These
qualities, combined with his gentlemanly
appearance and talent for running his
part of the program smoothly, made him
a valuable addition to the executive force,
and it is hoped that he will be with us
next year.

AS the time draws near for the nomi-
nations for members of the general as
sembly, the voters should bear in mind
the effort that is to be made to defeat the
reelection of Senator Joseph r. Hawley
who so ably represents the state of Con-
necticut in the U. S. senate. Senator
Hawley is one of the most valuable mem
beers of the senate, and his health is good
and he is fully able to fulfill his duties
and should be elected for another term.
Extra efforts will be made to place men
in nomination who are antagonistic to
his reelection, but we believe a large
majority of the republican voters of the
state of Connecticut are in favor of his
reelection for another term Every voter
should attend the caucuses soon to be
held, and have their candidate picked out
beforehand, and make an effort for their
nomination.

hereafter conduct its tourist excursion
business under it's direct supervision.
All the good features of the old system
will be retained and additional advan-
tages will be added.
The Rock Island personally conducted
Tourist Car excursions to California
have always proved their right to be
called the best by carrying the most
people, and exceptional inducements
now offered will maintain the high
standing they have reached Choice of
two routes is given. Excursion via Ell
Paso ana the popular Southern route to
Los Angeles and San Francisco leaves
Boston every Monday. Excursion via
Colorado and the Scenic route to San
Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Bos-
ton every Wednesday.
A cardinal advantage of the latter
route is the opportunity afforded for a
lay over at Colorado Springs for suffi-
cient time to visit the famous natural
wonders at Manitou without delaying
the journey.
This tourist car system can offer
advantages enjoyed by no other route

THE FOSTER FAMILY.
History Being Compiled by Col. F. G.
Pierce,

Col. Fred c. Pierce Of 100 washington
street, Chicago, ILL.,, Is engaged in COM
pilling the history and genealogy of the
Foster family in America, from the
time of the first arrival in the Massa-
chusetts Bay colony In 1886 to the pres
ent time The family includes num-
Der Of emigrant ancestors, as will be
seen by reference to Savage, and all
will be fully traced in the Forthcoming
work. 1t is extremely doubtful If any
other family for one generation, took
any more prominent part in the early
history of Massachusetts, than those of
the Fosters. John Foster was an early
printer in Boston, and took an active
part in province affairs. He designed
the coat of arms of the state of Massa-
chusetts, and there is a strong proba-
bility that the crest was copied from
the Foster coat-of-arms. Governor
Hutchinson, and his brother, the form
er the acting colonial governor of Mas
sachusetts during the revolutionary
war, and for some time prior, and a
very prominent citizen, were both con-
nected with the Foster family. Among
others who were very prominent were
Hon. Jedediah Foster, Judge of Wor-
cester county, and a most estimable
citizen; Hon. Theodore Foster, mem
Der of congress from Rhode Island:
Hon. Abial Foster, member of congress
from New Hampshire for two terms;
Hon. Dwight Foster, Jr.. attorney-gen-
eral Of Massachusetts; Hon. Lafayette
S. Foster of Norwich, who was presi-
dent of the Uuited States for one day
