You see, she has a habit of hosting
the window in our room every night.
Sometimes I forget it. and then there's
a wild squabble. Frequently she wakes
me up in the night and asks me to see
If it is open. If don't she nags at me
until morning. A night or two ago re-
solved to give her a hard scare. / rolled
up a lot of old newspapers into a long
bundle and laid the package down by
the window. OF course she was asleep
and didn't hear me. Then I opened the
window little ways and crept into
bed. Sometime after midnight she
nudged me and said: "Jim, Pm sure
you didn't open that window. It's like

TOTAL ABSTAINERS.

Thirtieth Annual Convention Will be
Held in ST. Aloysius Hall Next Tues
day.
The thirtieth annual state convention
of the Catholic Total Abstinence union
Of Connecticut will be held at St. Alloy
sius hall, Meadow street, next Tuesday,
September IS. The leaders are SAN
guine that the convention will be a
great success and will mark a new and
aggressive epoch in the history of total
abstinence in this state
There are now ninety societies in
good standing in the Connecticut union,
and these will be represented in the
convention by one hundred and fifty
delegates Bishop Tierney of the Hart
ford diocese, who takes a deep interest
in the furtherance of the total absti-
nence cause, has signifled his intention
of being present. The bishop was pres
ident of the national organization for
term which ended at the recent national
convention held in Philadelphia. when
Rev. D. F. Mac Gillicuddy of Worces-
ter, Mass, was elected president. The
latter will also be present at the state
convention. j. Washington Logue Of
Philadelphia, first vice president of the
national union, and one of the most elo-
quent and effective temperance speak
ers in the country, will attend. and it is
expected that all the distinguished gem
tlemen will make addresses.
Rev. Walter J. Stanley of the Hart
ford cathedral, president of the state
union, will probably be continued for
another term in that position, The ma
tional convention of 1901 will be held
in Hartford, and it Is considered the
proper thing to have a Hartford clergy
man president of the state organization
for that occasion.

uation which has worked UP with mas

leading characters, the Migrants, are
both played by women who make up as
boys of widely differing character, but
equally pleasing. The character of Fan
Fan will be portrayed by Neva Harri-
son, who made a pronounced hit in
that part last season. Claude, the sick
ly boy, will be In the hands of Lottie
Briscoe. Other prominent members of

Instead Of the big meeting scheduled
to take place last evening by the jour

to see the master plumbers as was ex-

last evening that matters are at a
standstill 1t is now said that the re-
suit of the session of the master-plumb-
ers the other evening was not as fav-
orable to a settlement of the difficulties
as was at first supposed. Six plumbers.
