SINGLE TAKERS MEETING
INTERVIEWING ADDRESS, DEXTER

He is the Editor of the Single Taxer of
 of New York City and His Remarks
 Were Very Much Enjoyed Exercises Were Held at the Home of William
 Trueman of 4O9 Edgew 0 ood Avenue. The Single Tax club of New Haven
 celebrated the sixty-second anniversary
 of the birth of Henry George yesterday
 at the home of William Trueman, 4O3 | Edgewood avenue. sThe meeting was
 called to order by MT. Trueman at 4
 o'clock about twelve single tax enthu-
 siasts being present. After some re-
 marks of welcome by MT. Trueman,
 who paid honor to MT. George in few
 well chosen words he read very inter- esting section of Henry Georges well known work Progress and Poverty" The portion of the book that MT. True man read to the members Of the club was that part that made the writer fa- nous, and it proved very instructive 10 all who heard it. After the reading MT. Trueman introduced, as the speaker of the day, J. J. Murphy, the editor of the National Single Taxer of New York city.
 Nr Murphys address was q very powerful one, and was not only greatly enjoyed by all but was thoroughly in- structive to all present. Mr. Murphy dwelt at length on the life of Henry George and spoke briefly on some of his works. The speaker also referred to the first celebration in honor of the apostle of individual liberty and said that at that time there were probably not more than fifty cities and towns in the Unit ed States that observed the day Now, he said, the number has increased to many times that size and he thought that before many more years the num- Der would be much larger than 1t is now.
 Mir. Murphy gave many examples H. frustrating the good of the single tax and told some stories of degenerate life in New York that appealed to the listen- CTS. The labor question was discussed and instances of the honest working man now unable to find employment were given to show the benefits of the single mode of taxation.
 The address of the speaker was about | three quarters of an hour in length and | 1t was only too soon, the listeners thought, that he was obliged to bring 1t to a close. At the conclusion of his re- i marks MT. Murphy announced that he was ready to answer any questions | that the people wanted to ask. Several | of those in the audience inquired as to | some points of interest concerning the | single tax, and were readily answered
 MT. Trueman's lawn and house were decorated with flags and | bunting and on the front piazza was [ large picture of MT. George, and under | it was an inscription from Progress and Poverty

ests. It is probable that he will collect data and bring home photographs to be used in new lecture to be delivered during the coming winter
 Dr. Ernest D. Chipman of Waterbury, formerly of Fair Haven, and Miss Jane Greenwood, will be married at Belve- dere, Cal, the last of the present month. Dr. Chipman is a son of MT. and Mrs. Dwight Chipman of Pine street. After the marriage the couple will take an ex- tensive trip through the west, arriving in Waterbury about the middle of Oc- tober, where they will make their home.
 The large electric motor of the Manu- facturers railroad has been sent to the works of the General Electric company in Schnectady N. r.. for repairs. Sew eral fuses are burned out and complete repairs will be made taking nearly a month to complete.
 M. J. Barnes, bookkeepsr for the S. c. Burwell company, begins his vacation to-day MT. and Mrs. Barnes and two children will go to the Thimble Islands for few days.
 Most of the local clergy have return ed and preached in their respective pull pits yesterday. The church choirs which enjoyed vacation in August also re- sumed their services. At the Grand avenue Baptist church Rev. S. H. Cain of Indiana preached.
 Mrs S c. Bradley, Mir and Mrs. Pier pont os Grand avenue have gone to Hartford to spend a week with Mrs. Bradley Kelley.

ANTHONY CARROLL'S STATE

Concerning the Grove Street Pavement
 Trouble.
 Anthony Carroll, who after having passed a civil service examination was appointed inspector on the new Grove street pavement by Director Troup, Saturday afternoon left the work and resigned his position after a failure to compel the contractor doing the work to conform, as MT. Carroll alleges, to the specifications for the contract. Mir. Carroll said last night:
 T left the job rather than to enter into an agreement to beat the city City Engineer Kelly came to me and told me not to be particular about en- forcing the contract specifications against the contractor, MT. Brazos, l then told MT. Kelly that if that was what he wanted I would not stay there and that he might get some other in spector. I told him that I would not overlook imperfections in the work. I left the job at ? o'clock Saturday after noon. As there was no director, MT. Troup having resigned and left the of flee, I could not report to the director"

"TONY's" POOR TAIL.
The Victim of Unconscious Energy on
 the Part of a Shore Resort Bull Ter


 The Victim of Unconscious Energy or
 the Part of a Shore Resort Bull Ter
 rler.
 There is a certain bull terrier at 8 shore resort within fifteen miles of New
 Haven that is we'll worth writing up
 not because he Is a world beater when
 1t comes to mixing it up'' with other
 dogs or because he has six toes on each
 foot, but because he is just what bull
 terrier isn't.
 ] This particular bull terrier is one | that would attract the attention of any lover of dogs as he is well built, of good size, clear eye and is quick and 1 handsome. He has the necessary short ears and has the appearance or the gen. uine sandy article He is ot the brlndle l type and his name is "Tony. This dog Tony is as afraid of cats as dar- | key is of a ghost and the pet rabbit on the place can make him do anything that he wants to, that Is, he would if he could. Anyway Tony sneaks away as soon as Bunnie hobbies in sight, in all probability thinking that the rabbit Is long-eared cat made especially for the purpose of putting to flight just such timid animals as himself.
 What Tony lacks in bravery is more than made up in another direction. The incessant manner in which Tony Wags his tail has been frequently commented upon by visitors and one day some of hn probably for want of something else to so set about to calculate, if possible, the number of times that Tony really wagged his tail during the brief period of one minute. It took three people to do the registering, but when 1t was ac- compished the results were so start ling that further Investigations were immediately in order and the figures that were compiled were something re- marka ble.
 The, wags during the first minute were reckoned, as has been said. by the combined energies of three persons. One scored the Wags of the first half min ute, another scored those of the last half minute and the third took the time. The scorers were kept busy, but not withstanding the rapidity of the 'wag gin correct account was kept. To the astonishment of the official scor- CTS" the total number of wags during those 60 seconds was 240. At this rate his tail would wag 14400 times an hour and allowing twelve hours day the sum total of wags would be f72S00. Now the number of wags during the day Is probably much greater than that figure. Tony is out bright and early every morning at 5 o'clock a. m. and doesn't retire until D. m., making a day of sixteen hours. That is allow ing Tony 57,eO0 wags or 14,4o0 wags for each of the four hours not counted in Tony's day. So it is regarded certain that the tail is the victim of at least 172So0 wags a day.
 A little more figuring. Tony is at the shore about six months, but from May to October 1 the bull terrier is in his element. From May to October l are five months or say 150 days. If Tony wags his tail 172,800 times in one day, during the five months he will wag his tail the astonishing number of 25, ,920, 900 times. If that isn't uncon- scious energy the writer would like to know what the meaning of those words is.

LATEST FAIR HAVEN NEWS
ETC CARGO OF ICE RECEIPED B |
 WOODBRIDGE ICE COMPANY.

The Oyster Season Has Opened but the
 Shipments Are Light-services In the Churches Yesterday Observance of
 Labor Day Across the River.
 The oyster season has opened but shipments as yet are not heavy. Warm
 weather interiors with shipping, and
 orders are for limited quantities of op-
 ened oysters The outlook for the sea-
 sons trade is good. The stock is de-
 veloping we'll and the quality promises
 to be good.
 The oyster trade in New York opened
 on Saturday. A considerable amount | of stock was sold for the city trade,
 but shipments to the west are reported l small yet. A few cool days resulted in orders from the west, and when the oysters were shipped warm weather came again. The planters insist on bringing oysters to market during the hot weather and so the market is often overstocked in which case they have to return them to the beds, which is un- profitable. Some orders have been re- ceived from as far west as Washington and Oregon, but many dealers hesitate about filling orders owing to the hot weather.
 The Woodbridge Ice company receiv- led another cargo of ice on Saturday from the Kennebeck river. Maine, cargo of 1,075 tons. They expect to re- ceive several more cargoes before cool weather. The ice is landed at the wharf of H. Konold & Son.
 r. A. Smith has purchased of Oliver E. Maltby a lot at the corner of Lom- bard and AtWater streets.
 Ten of the members of the Outing club at Morris Cove have purchased an eighteen foot catboat of Dr. Hide brandt.
