MISS HUME'S VACATION

Miss s. J. Hume, the lady missionary at the City Mission hall, will take this year much needed vacation, being a.b- sent from the city after August IS for about one month. Miss Hume has not for several years taken the full months vacation to which she Is entitled, not only by the vote of the directors of the missionary association, but because of the constant pressure upon her of the important work for women and children in which she is engaged. The mothers meeting will be discontinued during her absence, but some representative of this part of the work will be at the mission hall every Wednesday afternoon to meet any who may wish to come for advice It is the hope of her many friends that Miss Hume will return to New Haven fully restored to health, as well as refreshed by pleasant vaca- ton.

The Mayor Has a Conference With

 The Mayor Has Conference With Secretary Candee.
 Mayor Studley has been watching the congested street traffic at the corner of Chapel and Church streets more espec- ially since the Fair Haven and West vile road completed its scheme of send- ing the cars directly across Chapel
 street, without the annoying system of transferring previously in vogue. Yesterday afternoon his honor held, by appointment, a conference with Sec
 retary Candee of the Fair Haven and Westville road. They met at the cor
 ner of Church and Chapel streets and
 talked the situation over thoroughly. It
 was explained to Mayor Studley that of necessity the blockage of traffic at that point cannot be obviated at pres ent; the traffic scheme is new to the public and has not yet become familiar, either to team drivers or foot passen- gers. The railroad company has ex- perienced men there to avoid confusion as far as possible, and policemen are at the corner day and night to guard against accident. Just at present good judgment is most to be desired. both on the part of the trolley men and the public. It is impossible to establish rigid rules until conditions have been tried and imperfections discovered, The mayor and MT. Candee discussed the matter thoroughly, and both with the view of doing everything possible to mitigate the crowded state of traffic at this point.

NIANTIC ENCAMPMENT.
Larger Number of Military Than Usual

Larger Number of Military Than Usual is Expected.
 Indications appear to point to an un- usually large number of men at the an- nual encampment of the Connecticut National Guard next week. The com panies of the Second regiment will at- tend with full ranks and the case is said to be the same with the other regi- ments. Troop A, of this city, will at- tend with three officers and fifty-nine men, adding that number to the ordi- nary force, as this is the first time the troop attends an encampment as part of the National Guard of the state.
 The usual number of horses in an encampment is about 130. This year the number will be nearly 200, divided as follows: Governor and staff, 12; General Frost and brigade staff, Ii; regimental commanders and staff, 60; Battery, 4 officers guns and caisson, 3; Machine Gun Battery, 13; Troop A, 62; total. 1o5.
 The oats for the horses were shipped Friday. The hay is already supplied as it is grown and cut on the encamp- ment grounds.
