CONNECTICUT NATIONAL GUARD
The Talk of T Change of Reorganiza-
 tiOn Has About Died Ont

inc 1alk Of T Change of Reorganiza-
 tion Has About Died Out.
 So far there is apparently no def- hlte plan or movement for the reor- saniZation or reform of the ConDecti cut National Guard, says the Hartford Globe although q few months ago it was said that such project was under way and would come before the next legislature. Interest in the idea has not grown. and it is the present pre- ValIlng opinion that no change will be effected at this session.
 A disposition is shown to await the action of congress on the militia or na- tional guard question and certainly nothing can be accomplished by that body in the short session of three months If the nation is to follow the example of other countries of military importance and have a national re- serve force of some kind, partially un- der the state auspices and partially under the federal government, it is be- neved to be advisable to make any changes now which would only have to be abandoned when congress did get around to action on the lines mention ed.
 The stand taken by the military ex- ports of the federal war department is altogether adverse to the present na- tional guard system of the various states. ill respect to the one item of furnishing bodies of men who can be at once made q part of the volunteer forces in time of war. The experience of the war with Spain was sufficient to demonstrate this fact to the satis- faction of the war departments: and it may be confidently expected that any system of national reserve forces which the department may induce con- greSs to adopt will present the most radical changes from the national guard or state militia plan.
 The aim. therefore, of those who have the Connecticut National Guard interests at heart. is to improve the personnel and discipline of the present guard. without any changes in the plan of organization until such changes can be made intelligently and definitely, and with full consideration of the pos siblp effect of federal legislation on the militia formation.
 The state agitation which has in years past touched on the methods and discipline of the state camp-shown last year in connection with the dry camp" regime-may again re-apDear in connection with encampment details: but. as has been said. there is as vet no demonstration of any plan to bring about q reorganization of the guard, | as talked of while ago.

Heavy purchasing in antici- ,ation of big selling is the cause of these broken prices ere the season has barely daWned.
 It's our way of doing things. Judging by present conditions we would have to make these ', reductions later, as our stock is very large; and to close it out in season, it means big selling from now until Thanks giving.
 It is against our principles to carry dress goods from one season to another, and so it is SELL NOW AND SELL AT ONCE, in order to turn stock within the limit, which is what we propose to do, as the fol- lowing prices prove: 75c HOMESUNS 55c A YARD:

TO ABOLISH BOUNDARY.
Commissioner Favor a Proposition
Which In Needed.


1t is probable that the attorney for the
District will be directed by the Commits
sioners to prepare a draft of bill to be
introduced in Congress designed to abolish
Florida avenue as a boundary line be-
tween the city and the remainder of the
District Commissioner Wight has recon-
mended to his associates that their attor-
ney be so directed. Commissioner Ross has
approved his recommendation, and the
matter is now before Capt. Beach, the En-
gineer Commissioner, who will, it is be-
Heved, agree with his associates in the
matter.
Commissioner Wight. in making his rec
concentration. suggested that the proposed
bill provide for the abolition of Florida
avenue as the existing boundary line be-
tween the city and county on and after
July 1, 1900. and that all laws sand regula-
lions now applicable in the city be made to
apply on and after that date to the entire
District, except, of course, those which
could not, because of their character and
requirements, be made applicable to the
whole District.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wight, Florida ave.
nue. is today not much more than an inn
aginary boundary line, and in view of the
fact that in very many directions the city
has extended beyond across this thorough
fare into the suburban sections, is, in his
opinion. alone sufficient reason why 1T
should now be eliminated, and 1t Is under
stood that his associates so agree with
him.

is alleged to have sent through the mail to

For the second time since the beginning

into the court room he walked hurriedly to

To Disregard Diagram Blank,
The recorder stated, in denying the mo-

to disregard all that part of the diagram
blank that did not pertain to the alleged
description of the defendant and that of

has utterly failed to make case against
this defendant, and that he has not been

him SO. Believing this, as we do, we rest

The defendant leaned over and whisnered
to his wife. She smiled as the converse tion
proceeded.
Mr.. Osborne then asked that the recorder
instruct the jury to disregard all that mart
of Expert Persifer Frazer's testimony re-
garding the microscopic measurements Of

asked this because of not having been abe

The jury was SO instructed by the court
