1899 LAW MAKERS MEET
C0yNECTICUT'S LAST GENERAL AS
 SEMBLY AT WEST SHORE.
Listen to Informal lSpeeches-Governor LOunsbury Absent-No Organization Ofthe Law Walkers ContempInted

The members of the 1899 legislature met at Savin Rock yesterday for their first reunion. About two hundred men, including most of the senators, sat down to one of Stewards best dinners at 1 o'clock. Governor Lounsbury was not present. Following the dinner, Speaker Frank Brandagee of New London, who acted as toast master for an entirely informal list of after dinner speeches, called upon a large number of the law makers to make a few remarks. These remarks were entirely lacking in weight or in political bearing, the object of the diff ferent speakers being to say something amusing. Five minutes was the time allowed each speaker to pour forth his eloquence. During these informal speeches small knots of men gathered together and discussed Connecticut poli- tics and made combinations for the promotion of this or that political boom. After the dinner with its subsequent speeches the members of the last legis- lature inspected the west shore with it's many possibilities for excitement, un- der the guidance of the New Haveners present. Those living in remote parts of the state took early trains for home, this being the reason for the early din. ner.
 While no organization was perfected at yesterdays meeting one undoubtedly will be in the near future. The concen- sus of opinion among those present was in favor of some definite organization to insure the repetition of such suc- cessful annual reunions as that of yes- terday proved to be- No new executive committee was appointed, the commit tee composed of the following men standing until next years meeting: Chairman, David Callahan of New Ha- ven Senator Pendleton of Stonington, Representatives Roberts of Hartford, Brett of Waterbury and Bridgeman of Norfolk.
 Following was the menu of Caterer Stewart Little neck clans, clam chowder, steamed clams broiled blue fish, French fried potatoes, olives, cu- cumbers, tomatoes, oysters, spring chicken, boiled new potatoes, chow chow, green corn, sweet potatoes, wa termelon, coffee, cigars.

TALL AND EXALTED,
Our Home Sweet Corn, Too.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Noting the very favorable report of our recent corn weather on the prospec- tive crop of the west both as to quantity and heighth, perhaps the like effect on the home crop ought not to be entirely overlooked of greatness inasmuch as our own garden sweet corn has testified in it's caring to a desire to get up in the world to a heighth of more than six feet and thus exults in the safety of it's place of exaltation from searchers for table use. Others can doubtless give testimony of like results.

alf Time at the Big Rubber Shop

Half Time at the Big Rubber Shop
 Overtime at the Clock Shop. the L. Candee rubber factory will go on half time. This is not because business is dull, but because important improve ments are to be made in the electrical departments of the big shop.

 Business in some of the departments of the New Haven Clock company is SO pressing that good many of the hands have been put on overtime and are working extra hours in order to keep up with the orders.
