The fact that at present there are
deadlocks in the election of United
States senators in three states, and
that scandals are of such frequent
occurrence in these elections, has
again directed public attention to
the reform so frequently and
! strongly suggested that senators
, be elected by direct vote. The
movement is not partisan, for pa
pers of all parties are strenuously
urging it. Thus far no valid reason
has been urged in favor of the re-
tention of the old method, the only
difficulty being the tedious process
necessary to bring about the re-
quired constitutional change. The
reform will undoubtedly be brought
about within the next few years, as
practically no opposition has ap-
peared,

Although only two weeks of the
life of the fifty sixth congress re-
mains, the best informed men in
Washington cannot say with any
degree of certainty whether there
will be an extra session of the next
congress because of necessary work
left undone at this session. The
ship subsidy bill is still stumbling
block in the senate. Its opponents
say there is no possible chance for
it to be voted upon at this session,
and some of its supporters agree
with them, but those in charge of
it refuse to allow it to be shelved.

EAST VILLAGE.


 The entertainment given by the juniors of the East Village Methodist church, last Thursday evening, was a great success. For this pleasant af- fair credit is due to Miss Hattie Smith, daughter of Rev Arthur Smith of New Haven. Miss Smith, while spending her vacation here, has not been idle, but has given the people the benefit of her elecutiOnary powers in preparing the children for the entertainment. The little ones, one and all, showed excellent training. Miss Gail Staples, daughter of Judge Staples of Shelton, assisted in the evening program. Miss Staples appeared in her usual ease and grace in three recitations, and was a charming addition to the evenings enjoyment. Last of all came "Auld Lang Syne" in "Ye Olden tyne" cos tune, which was antediluvian indeed, and created no end of amusement. At the close all wended their way to the parsonage and made lively work for the ladies serving ice cream, cake, etc. !, to their numerous patrons. The sum of $32 was added to the parsonage fund.

The commissioners on the estate of Mrs Susan Chipman, Messrs M. C.. Rodgers and w. J. Brew, were in session at the Brick building on Saturday, in regard to the bill of George E. Fair child against the estate for $602 for the care of Mrs Chipman.
 MT Fairchild was the first witness and he testified that he was hired by Elmer w. Fairchild, Mrs Chipman being in need of constant care. Mrs Chipman's trouble was general breaking down from old age and her inability to walk much. There was no organic trouble on account of her feet. No price was agreed on between his brother and himself. He testified that the service was worth what he charg- ed, and would be willing to pay the same price for himself. There was no physician called except at the time of the last sickness. MT Fairchild said he did not know Mrs Chipman had made a will, therefore did not know he was one of the legatees. At differ ent times Mrs Chipman gave MT Fair child presents of money amounting in all to $2l, in amounts varying from Sl to $5. Mrs Chipman was sick in bed at various times in all about four
 weeks. MT Fairchild said he felt jus titled in charging $1 per day in view of the fact that he was to receive about $2, 100 from the estate in legacies. Did not say to anyone that she had paid him for all he had done.
 Miss BriScOe testified in substances: Mrs Chipman was an aunt of my mother. It was my practice to come over quite often to see her. Called at irregular intervals, twice day or twice a week. Sometimes Staid half daI or half an hour. Have staid all night when George Fairchild was away. Always said she paid her way Never did anything for Mrs Chipman unless she paid me for it. Have seen her wait on people. She always wanted to be at work sewing. Did what light work she could about the house. Paid me perhaps half dozen times.
 Charles L. Briscoe testified as fol- lows: She always paid me for anything I did. Has paid me as high as $lO at a perhaps 20 times. Was woman that never wanted to be idle. Had a talk with MT Fairchild about this claim. Asked him if Aunt Susan had ever given him any money and he said she had, but did not state how much.
 Mrs Charles l.. Briscoe testified: Mrs Chipman was my aunt. Called on her several times at her home in the past two years. Was busy person and was busy whenever she was able to work. Always paid her bills. AL ways paid me for anything did for her. Heard conversation between MT Fairchild and my husband. Am one of the legatees. Would not charge anything if had taken care of her. If had not been related would have done it for S1 per day. During the week she was with me she was able to take care of herself.
 Attorney Beecher appeared for the estate and MT Fairchild rested his claim on his own testimony. There were no arguments. The commission CTS allowed $75. The amount of Mrs Chipman's estate was about $10,0OO.
