WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
PROTEST AGAINST DRIFTING ON THE
BICYCLE PATH.
Tho Law Covering the Matter Is Daily
Violated 49, Burgess Pagnnm Has Nearly
Recovered from His Long Illness -
Other Borough items.


Other Borough items.
Notwithstanding that notices of the
law have been posted conspicuously all
the way down to North Haven there
has already been violations of the law
against driving on the bicycle path.
"wednesday, two young men in buggy,
and both under the influence of liquor,
were driving along on the path for full
ly mile until they were warned by
one of the residents, and finally took
to the road again. Only yesterday
tracks of a horse and wagon were
found on the reconstructed bicycle
path near the higgins property. Fair
warning has been given and any per-
son caught violating the statutes will
be dealt with as they deserve.
A Wallingford citizen, speaking of
the matter yesterday said that If the
North Haven officers would cert half
as much energy in looking after the
yiolators of the law who persistently
drive on the bicycle path, as they do
when some one is suspected of furnish
ing some thirsty person with glass OF
lager, they would do just as much to-
ward performing their duty to the
state.

been i'll for seven weeks, expects on

ENTERTAINMENTS.


| A good sized audience witnessed the
| presentation of Her Atonement" al
the Hyperion, and the favor with which
it was received promises well for very
successful engagement. The story
starts with the murder of a peculiarly
repulsive villain, who has no redeeming
qualities, and the murder is charged to
innocent people. Among the women the
/ villain has ruined is a daughter of
/ She is arrested on suspicion and set
free. His valet is also arrested, as is
also the young hero. Her atonement
saves them and happiness is brought
to the many suffering ones at the fall
of the curtain. The strongest value a
play of this type can have nowadays is
the mounting and scenery. Among the
principal scenes was ferry boat cross
ing the river, which is loaded down
with soldiers and the realistic picture
of a train and it's load of soldiers
There are two big military scenes
which call for a large number of men.
In addition to the soldiers there was
large and competent cast for the speak
ing parts. Margaret Robinson took the
leading role and maintained it with
much credit. Kate Denim Wilson was
excellent as the mother. Ethel Blande
did we'll as the IrishWoman, and Louis
Aldrich, who has many friends in this
city, was most acceptable as the colo
mel Jessie Busley in the comedy role
made one of the hits of the perform
ance The audience appreciated all the
good points in the piece, and applauded
each act The play will be repeated
this and tomorrow nights and should
be witnessed by large audience at
both performances.
WILLIAM H. VESTS MINSTRELS.
William H. Vests big minstrel jubi
lee will be at the Hyperion on Monday

Mrs. Anderson, who was sentenced to

We issue 10 our county sub
scribers this week "A supplement
containing a sketch of the
career of the Hon. \. Z. Cor
man in the Senate of the nited
States. 1t is very gratifying
To his many friends To see that
the press of the entire country,
except a few narrowmind
preiudiced sheets. are giving
him credit for what ne really
is-one of Americas leading
statesmen. Laying aside any
prejudice the reader may have
nursed against him. il must be
admitted by every fair-minded
person that a man who com
manded the respect and admir-
alton of his colleagues i'm the
Senate. Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike. that Mr.. German
did. must be a great man. and
his grasp of all national ques
tions and his readiness in de-
batting them with the best
debators i'm the Senate showed
him to be possessed of a wonder-
full store of knowledge and the
ability TO give attractive eX-
preston To it. The South owes
him debt of gratitude for the
mastery manner in which he
led the Democrats in their
successful fight against the
Force Bill. Maryland has been
greatly honored by keeping Mr..
German in the Senate. a. he
was the one man inquired for by
nearly every visitor 10 the
Senate and Maryland was given
credit for sending to that body
a man of brains and intellect.
one who stood leader among
the greatest men of the nation.
Last Friday. March Sd. Mr..
German completed his eight
teenth year in the United States
Senate. and owing To the State
having fallen into the hands of
the Republicans he was sue
ceeded by Hon. Louis f.. Nc
Comas. member of that party.
Mr.. Germans last acts in the
Senate and in which the better
thinking element of the coun-
try was with him. was ID fight
the imperialistic policy Of the
administration and the Hull
Army Bill. While Mr.. German
has stepped out of the Senate
of which he has SO long been a
leader. vet the indications are
that he will continue t. be a
great leader of the national
Democracy. and perhaps may
have greater honors conferred
upon him than ever before.

POPPING SEAGULLs' NECKs.
An Ingenious Alabama Bog Describes
what He Thinks Rare

Say have been having barrel Of

Il have been popping seagull uecks
popping them 10y the dozens. by the
hundreds. Fine sport. Never saw any
thing like II in your life. Say, do you
know whether the seagull is worth
anything M all on the market for any
purpose whatever9 tfitis, can make
fortune without any outlay Of capi
tai at all, and at the same time have
the greatest sport in the world"

closely as 20 the nature of this posi-
bly, profitable industry of popping sea
gull necks explained: We'll YOU see.
