K. OF C. NEW HALL.
Merry Gathering of Knight and Their
 Friends at It's Opening.

several months ago committees from the four local councils of the Knights Of Columbus were appointed to secure a suitable hall wherein all might meet. The task was an arduous one but diligence and zeal crowned their labors, for last night was thrown open ill Platt's building magnificent headquarters
 The opening of the hall was signal lzed by one Of the most pleasing and profitable gatherings of Kniphts of Columbus ever held in this city. Not only did the local members come out in large numbers but many visiting Knights were present from New Ha- ven, Norwich, New Britain and New York.
 The newly elected officers from the various councils were installed by Deputy Tevlin of New Britain. The meeting was then turned over to Dis trlct Iepufy James \. Hynes of this city. who presided over the social session and filled the position with ability and skill.
 Speeches were made by the Rev fathers Slocum. Crowley, Bray, Mar tln and Coppens, Mayor E. c. Kilduff. Cltg Clerk M. J. Ryan, John C. Thomp- son. besides which songs. recitations and instrumental selections were ren- uered by several local and visiting knights
 At II o'clock recess was declared ana all adjourned to Murray hall, where an appetizing lunch had been prepared by prominent caterer. whose aids handled the several hun ufed men in admirable style After lunch the social session was resumed ana II was in the wee small hours when the happy gathering broke up.
 Besides the clergymen already men tloned there were present Fathers Me Guane. Broderick and Kennedy, and all seemed deeply interested in the success of the order
 A few words about the hall may not be amiSs in this connection. It IS situated on the top floor of the Flatt building on East Main street and Is a model of it's kind. High. light and airy. provided with ante rooms. lockers and every known de- wee for the proper conducting of so- clety meetings. it bids fair to become the most prominent society hall in the city. Light is furnished both by gas and electricity. and the ventilating system Is perfect. The order has gone to d great expense in fitting up the place and 1t is probable an entertain ment of an elaborate nature will be given after Easter when the public Will nave an opportunity of patrOniz- Ing them. The hall is leased for seven years at the end of which time it is the deVout wish of every Knight of ColumEuS. the order will be able to dedicate q building of it's own worthy or itself and its illuStrious founder.

WASTE IN THE KITCHEN.

Do the older girls remember that not long ago this column contained a story about a girl who kept house and did not please her father? Here, taken from the Sanitary Home, is q list of the mistakes likely to be made by such a girl as she:
 In cooking meats, the water is thrown away without removing the grease or the grease from the drip ping pan is thrown away.
 Scraps of meat are thrown away.
 Cold potatoes are left to sour and spoil.
 Dried fruits are not looked after and become wormy.
 Vinegar and sauce are left standing in tin.
 The tea canister and coffee box are left open.
 Bones of meat and the carcass of turkey are thrown away. when they could be used in making good soups. Sugar, tea. coffee ana rice are care lessly spilled in handling.
 Soap is left to dissolve and waste in water.
 Dish towels are used for dish cloths, napkins for dish towels, and towels for holders.
 Brooms and mops are not hung up.
  by not closing dampers when the fire is not used.
 Lights are left burning when not in use.
 Tin dishes are not properly cleaned and dried.
 Good new brooms are used to scrub kitchen floors. . Silver spoons are used in scraping kettles.
 Mustard is left to spoil in the cruse. Vinegar is left to stand until the tin vessel becomes corroded and spoiled. Pork spoils for want of salt. and beef because the brine needs scaldlng. Pickles become spoiled by the leak ing out or evaporation of the vinegar. Cheese is allowed to mould or be nibbled by the mice. Woodenware is left unscalded and left to warp and crack.
 These may seem small leaks, but in the aggregate the loss is considerable Sanitary Home.

CHARACTER IN HANDWRITING.

Sheaf of letters from people he did not know was placed before q so- ciety man who had made chirography a study, and who claimed that char acter could be easily read from a per- sons handwriting. As i'll the case of other wizards, it was hard to tell where personal knowledge came in, or if his deductions were purely the result of his theories. but certainly some of his hits were remarkable for their accuracy. As he seemed quite ready to explain the reasons for his assertions, he obtained many con- VertS.
 Heavy down strokes. he said, are the signs of strong passions. Letters that increase in size toward the end of q sentence bespeak sincerity. Those that diminish in like ratio signify in sincerity. X slanting hand shows an emotional nature, inclined to be senti- mental. A few words in a line denote extravaganza, but not generosity, the latter quality being shown by q long final stroke to each word A short, abrupt stop to each word indicates sell fishness. Flourishes show affection and self-esteem. Down strokes to y's betray opinionism. Large capitals and small letters mean pride. A ten dency to leave a hook on q dash line ending d word shows q love of DOW CT. High writing shows nobility; thin high writing q religious mind. Go ing below a line with the curves of a letter betokenS a vivid imagination. Lines that have d tendency to slope up show courage. those that slope down betoken despondency. Letters that are sharp and pointed at their base mean severe temperament Closed letters like 'as' and "o's' If left open at the top show frank dis position, combined with a sense of honor. Naturally vertical handWrlt- ing indicates reserve and independ- ence. Words written as if in chain show a studious disposition. A dash under the name is sign of self-con- sciousness and also of a wish to be popular. If words are widely sepa- rated the writer has q quick intuition. Very round tails to 'g's" and 'y's" be- token q lack of self-control and short dashes show suspicion.
 Of course different characteristics taken together sometimes alter results and it is only by long practice, accord ing to our expert that q correct de- duction can be drawn from an ordi- nary letter.-New York Tribune.

POLICY OF CONSOLIDATED ROAD
Active Competition, Instead of Pas siye and Receptive Attitude

tl Active Competition, Instead of Pas
 sive and Receptive Attitude
 President Hall of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co says the New York Post, said yes terday that Second President Percy R. Todd, who will take office here on February 1, will have full charge of traffic on the whole system, both freight and passenger business. President Hall states also in regard to freight traffic, that, while the policy of his company has hitherto been pas sive and receptive, it will hereafter be active, and the company will make vigorous efforts to secure freight busi- ness to which it is entitled. He adds that of late the freight business of the company. has improved as com pared with a few weeks ago and that the recent changes in coal properties he regards as favorable to it's traffic interests. '-
 The strong impression left by Presi- dent Halls statements is that the di- version of western freight by the Bos- ton and Maine over the Fitchburg line has been sufficiently serious to compel the New Haven company To adopt pretty aggressive measures to recover through freight business.

AN APPEAL TAKEN
TO HIGHER COURT

A garnishee case involving the question
of extension of time for the service of
summons has been appealed from the
second District Court to the Supreme
Court to decide upon that particular
point of law The case is that of the
N. S. Sachs Company VS.. j. o. Spencer,
defendant, and Jas. F. Magoon, the gar
nishee. wherein the plaintiffs endeavored
to collect money owing them by Spencer
from Morgan, who had sold Spencer's
household effects and still retained the
money derived from the sale.
A summons was sent out for Spencer,
and when the case came to trial in Judge
Dickeys court, the summons was re-
turned with the notation that he could
not be located. Attorney Peterson, rep
resenting Mr.. Morgan, moved that the
case be dismissed by the court on the
ground that the defendant could not be
found and service had not been made
two days before the time set for the hear
ing, under the law.
Lorrin Andrews, attorney for the plain
tiff asked that the time be extended in
order to give the police more time to
find the defendant, who was believed to
be within the courts jurisdiction, but
seemed to evade the police. The request
was denied and motion to dismiss the
case granted. The plaintiff noted an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court on points Of
law 1t is his contention that if the
court has no power to extend the time.
defendants can easily get without the
reach of the law, and plaintiffs would
have no remedy in the courts.
