 THE SCENERY AND THE TOWN.
 Newtown thou art, ssNewtown Been thou still, Newtown the city of magnifi- cent distances; the city with it's railroad depot In a swamp and the city proper on a hill, with no connection between them except a mud road in spring and winter and 8 dust road in fall and summer, lined upon one side only with sheep path, along which pedestrians are compelled to wend their weary way. Yes, there is one other connection between the depot and the city, pair of horses and wag- on. People will become accustomed to almost anything and probably the deni- gems of that great city have become so accustomed to walking along 8 narrow sheep path that they would feel lost If 8 nice sidewalk were built from the top of the lofty hill upon which the city Is built, to the swamp below, on the edge of which the depot stands guard. That great city supports two hotels or, at least, two hotels are there whether they are supported or not. That Is the city where all the people are 30 rich or so poor, so generous or so stingy, they will not give poor hard walking gentleman of the road 8 bit of crust with which to exercise his long dormant digestive or gans. That is the city that advertises to hold the greatest fairs that are held any where on earth. These fairs, however are advertised in the newspaper. and edi tors Of newspapers all have free tickets of admission. Editors must, therefore earn their tickets by advertising the fail in baIloonish spirit. Though that grea city Is situated on hill, the guna Q

TWENTY YEARS HENCE.

Many changes will take place in twenty years. This town will have more manu- featuring concerns. Electric cars may be running between Newtown and Bridgeport, also through the principal streets of this town. Little shrubs just breaking through the ground will have grown into beautiful shade trees. Many wars may take place in twenty years, and many men may have fought and died. Our teacher may be President of the United States, and all the scholars who now attend this school may be doing thriving business of their own.-[Composed by Eleanor Cav- anaugh, aine years old.

To be Given by Dorscht Lodge by
 Special Request.
 Dorscht lodge charity concert next Sunday night at the Hyperion theate1 promises to be the best one of the sea sons series by that popular organiza- tion of prominent musicians The announcement that the lodge had, in response to popular request, decided to give an extra concert, was hailed with delight by those who have attended the previous charity concerts given and enjoyed the high class of music rem dered. Miss Sadie Thompson of this city has. been engaged as soloist The concert will take in some respects the form of memorial to the late D. w. Reeves, the famous bandmaster and leader of the great Reeves band. The Second Regiment March, the famous piece known from one end of the coun- try to the other as Reeves great work, will be played by the Second Regiment band the bugle corps, the orchestra and the drum corps. The consolidation of these organizations was considered one of the best features of the last concert, and to hear them play the Second Reg iment March is alone worth going to Sundays nights concert to hear.

 CALLED BY MIR. TYLER.

 Connecticut is entitled to four dele gates-at-large and eight county dele gates to the national convention that nominates president and vice president. The deegates-at-larg are nominated by the state convention, but the county delegates are chosen by district con- ventions These are the same men. and the work is done practically at the same time, but it requires the concur rent action of the state central com mittee and the district committees to combine these. By selecting the same time and the same delegates all the work can be done in the same day. TO secure this concurrent action, MT. Fyler has called this gathering to order to get the usual authority from the diff ferent district committees to call in their names, the district meetings at the same time he calls the state con vention. This has been so arranged for the past eight years or more, but often the arrangement has been made by mail. This time the various com mittees will meet personally Those who take up the committees of the dis trict are:
 First-C. l.. Burdett of Hartford, S. C. Hardin of Glastonbury, Edward La tham of Suffield, W. B. Sprague of An dover and A. Korper of Wilmington.
 Second-Frederick L. Tibbals of Mill ford, c. w. Charter of Merden and Charles Bright of Middletown.
 Third-John Hopson of New London, Robert A. Gray of Groton, E. H. Davis of Plainfield, c. N. Daniels of Wind- ham, and Samuel G. Johnson of Boz rah
 Fourth-O. R. Fyler of Torrington, J. H. Roraback, N. l.. Webster of Thomaston, Whitman s. Mead of Greenwich, Edwin O. Keeler of Nor walk, Allan w. Paige of Bridgeport, and James E. Miller of Bedding.
