The Hartford Evening Post of Aug. II,
has the following relative to former
resident of Stafford:
A prominent republican of Windham
county few days ago stated that there is
possibility of Representative W. A..
King of Windham being nominated for
lieutenant governor. In the opinion of
this gentleman, who is in close touch with
what Is going on in republican politics,
circumstances may develop which will
bring Mr.. King into the race. At the
present time 1t Is not thought that Mr..
King has any thoughts of entering into a
contest for any Office on the state ticket.
Many of his friends throughout the state
would like to see him sent back to the
house from Windham and become can
didate for the speakership. 1t is ques-
tionable, however, whether Mr.. King
would consent to this. 1t Is learned, on
what is considered pretty good authority.
that Mr.. King Is very friendly to Mr..
Light of South Norwalk, who, 1t is said.
will be candidate for the speakership, If
he Is sent back to the house. Some of
Mr.. Kings friend maintain that he (Mr.
King) will not put any obstacle in the
way of Mr.. Light, if he decides to enter
the fight for the speakership. This being
the case, it may be that Mr.. King will
consider the lieutenant governorship, If ii
Is offered him by the party managers.
This Office would not take up 80 much OF
this time as some others, and might be
congenial to him.

Yes, they are quite the fashion just at pres
ent, in fact they are the thing. Do we believe
in weddings7 oh, yes, indeed; that is, where
the parties are old enough.
OF course we do not believe in real young
things, who don't know their own minds, get
ting married, but when people arrive at the age
of discretion and are old enough to know what
they are doing, then its all right.
Then again, some people are welded to wrong
notions and mistaken ideas, for instance, when
they are married to the habit Of buying their
groceries ION time," and paying too much for
them. Now, that's a big mistake, and they
ought not to stay so welded, but get divorce

Pinero Plans No Plots.

Il never begin with a plot. The
plot grows out of the men and women
conjure up. l expect them to tell
me the story" That is Mr.. Pinero's
sef-confessed method of playwriting.
He writes to satisfy himself, not to
make money; but he writes so well
that he is a rich man, who lives in
mansion in Hamilton Terrace, and en-
tertains with something like splendor.
A very charming, exceedingly we'll
hammered, courteous gentleman, he is
extremely popular, and the profession
loves him. for he makes actors and
actresses almost as often as he makes
plays To his training more than one
leading player owes nearly everything.
Everyone knows that Mr.. Pinero was
once an actor. Nowadays he seldom
goes to the theater save to rehearse
one of his plays.
