TOWN TOPICs. The Popular Wallace House.
1T LAKE oUAssApAUe, M1DDLEBURY.

AT LAKE QUASSAPAUGs MIDDLEBURY.
 Among the places for 8 delightful days outing, Lake Quassapaug, Middle bury, is the most desirable hereabouts. It Is easily accessible to Newtown, Wood bury, Southbury, Watertown, Roxbury and Washington people; in fact, to all of THE BEES readers.
 The Wallace house, what can be said of this more than to say it Is in it's usual first class condition? Some improve ments are made every year. During the past season, MT Wallace has put water into the house and barn. The water is taken from about 400 feet out in the lake, and pumped by special steam pump in- to tank which holds over 2, 900 gallons, and then comes through pressure to hotel and barn. Thls gives not only nice clear pure water for drinking and cooking purposes, but also protection in case of fire. Faucets have been placed on vari- ous points of the premises, so that free ice water can be had by the patrons. Mir Wallace has another engine which he uses for making ice cream and other pur- poses where steam power is required. It is unnecessary to say that the hotel has an excellent cuisine, and every appoint ment for the pleasure and convenience of guests. Miss Hinman remains another season and looks after the interests of the guests as usual. The dock which was washed away last season has been replaced and made more substantial than ever. The fleet of boats, over 40 In number, have been repainted, and are second to none in the state for sailing, rowing or fishing, and will be In charge of MT Colson, who is salt water boat man. The steamer White Deer has been thoroughly overhauled, and will be en. gineered the coming season by Fred Mil Ter, who is we'll known as an experienced engineer. Thomas Parker will look after the interest of the stables, the same as last year. Take 1t all in all, MT Wallace thinks that he was never better prepared for serving the interests of the public than this season.

On and Off the Street.

While in Bridgeport, the other day, the writer invaded the office of George Sommers, superintendent of the great works of the Bridgeport Brass Co. This concern employs some 800 men and is one of the. substantial industries of Park City. MT Sommers takes kiRdly interest in Newtown. His father, Dea Sommers, was one of the pillars of the Congregation al church. Mr Sommers says he Is called on m good many directions for contri- buttons for benevolent work, but that he always reserves gift for the Newtown Congregational church. While in this office we were introduced to their gentle manly secretary, F. J. Kingsbury. The latter introduced the writer to "Happy Days" Pitman. Happy Days" is as much a completion of Will R. Pitman's name as the act of exhsling is 6 compile tiOn of the act of breathing. The name is widely known among wheelmen all over the country, for Happy Days" has been awheeling for nearly quarter of 8 century. He was in fact the second man to bring & wheel to Hartford. Col Pope brought the first to show to the Weed sewing machine people. Not long after Happy Days" came to Hartford and was really the first man to ride wheel about the city generally. The 12th of last April was his .50th birthday and the Pope company's pad almanac of that date bore the following;

"Will B. Pitman,
(Happy DaYs.l


 Will R. Putnam, who is 50 years old, takes pride in the fact that he was the first American to tour awheel and the first to win regular bicycle race. Hun- dreds of people in New England associ- ate Mir Putnam with their first sight of a bicycle. His original tour from Boston to New York took place in 1877. Dur ing p years of practical cycling, MT Pit man has used no wheel but Columbia. 5 Although Happy Days" states his age as 50 years, he doesn't seem it, when he is talking to you or you see him, by 30 years. This is due to his living out of doors and to healthy exercise. His home is In New York, and every spring he is among the first to take plunge in the ocean. That he comes out feeling inyiQ- orated is only another sign of his vigor- ous constitution. But it is to the bicy- cle that Mir Pitman gives the greatest credit. To quote him exactly, he says : 'I need hardly state that am an adyo- cate of cycling for every person who is able to manage wheel. Every clear day for 22 years have ridden wheel and feel could hardly do without it. During that time cannot say have had an hour of sickness and it ia only natural that l should feel in favor of the king of pastimes which has grown like healthy child. I know many other instances where men have pedaIled all machines from the boneshaker to the present an- de-siecle chainless. Some Of them have been virtual wrecks of health when starting, yet are now men In every sense of the word.' It would be well for some of our present day scorchers to talk to Mir PitmaD or have him talk to them, for although hel has ridden hun dreds and hundreds of miles, he Is not a fend for mileage, but rides for pleasure and enjoyment. Happy Days" did missionary work for the bicycle, SO now he Ia doing missionary work for the bi. cycle lanterns. He has always used on e and has always thought 1t best for every one to do the same. He is with the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, now, and can tel why their "Search-iight Lantern'' with It's sswishbone'' bracket Ia thA best to usa.

Senator Butler Incorporates a Provi-
sion in the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion Bill for the Construction.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The
senate committee on appropriations
today agreed to incorporate provision
in the sundry civil appropriation bill
providing for the construction of a
submarine cable connecting the Unit
ed States with the Hawaiian Islands.
The amendment adopted is the one in
troduced by Senator Butler, and it pro-
vides for the laying of the cable by
the United States and for it's subse-
quent ownership by the government,
the navy department to perform the
service and the cable when completed
to be operated by the postoffice depart
ment,
Senator Buffers original proposition
provided for the extension of the cable
to the Philippines, but the committee
decided not to make provision for this
extension because of the uncertainty OF
tenure of the United States in the last
named islands.
Senator Butler made a statement be-
fore the committee showing that the
cable could be laid to Honolulu for
So, 942. 900.
WASHINGTON, February 25.-An
effort is being made in the senate to
get the Pacific cable bill, which is in
the sundry civil appropriation bill as
an amendment, changed so as to give
the contracts for laying the cable and
constructing the wires to an eastern
and a Chicago firm respectively.
lockwood Hoar son of Senator HoaY
is here working up the deal.

DEATH OF ]. 1. SOUZA.
Passing of a Highly Respected Portu-
guese Citizen.

Joseph l. Souza, a highly respected
member of the Portuguese colony, died
at 1890 o'clock Saturday morning, at
his residence on Punchbowl street,
near Pauoa. He had been an invalid
for about two years, from lung troub-
les.
He was native of st. Michael, Azores,
and came to the Islands with his fami-
ly sixteen years ago. He was mason
by occupation.
The funeral was held from the Cath
Ollie cathedral at S:45 o'clock yester-
day morning. 1t was very largely at
tended. The pail bearers were old
friends and neighbors who had known
him during his years of useful life. The
COncordia band was in attendance at
the funeral, and escorted the remains
to the Catholic cemetery, where the in
terment took place.
Mr.. Sousa leaves a widow and eight
children. These wish to extend the
expression of their gratitude to the
neighbors and friends who attended
the funeral and extended other kindly
offices, and to the members of the Con-
cordia band.

AN ARMY OF 10000 MEN
AUTHORIZED BY THE BILL IN
THE SENATE.
OF These $1,000 are to be in the Regu-
lar Army and $4,000 are to be Volun-
teers.

WASHINGTON, February 24-The
senate committee on military affairs
reported the compromise army reor-
ganization bill just before adjournment
of the senate, at $3.50 p. IN. The bill
had been framed at the war depart
ment last night by the officials of that
department and a number of senators,
and was under consideration by the
senate committee and its sub commit
tee during the greater part of that day.
The bill as reported differs i'm many
details from the bill read in the house
today by Huh, but the general frame
work is the same. In the new bill one
section covers the entire increase Of
the army, and it reads as follows:
That to meet the present exigencies
of the military service the president is
authorized to maintain the regular ar
ry at a strength not exceeding Sc. 900
enlisted men, to be distributed among
the several branches of the service ac-
cording to the needs of each. and raise
force of not more than $4,000 volun-
teer infantry, as he may determir
from the country at large under the
general law, or from the localities
where their services may be required,
without regard to citizenship or edu-
cational qualifications. and to force the
same into not more than thirty regi-
ments organized as infantry regiments
of war strength in the regular army"
