The trip has of I~I Bevans was delighted with his visit best previous to his departure. MT Bevanus was delighted with his visit and many an interesting story can lie relate of his visit to the land of Em- met, Graham, Moore and hundreds of other persons as well known all over the world.
 -The youths ill this section do not believe in waiting for Halloween night to come before performing the various tricks which are associated with the celebration of that event So anxious and nervous do they become in awaiting this night on which they can do so many mis- chievous pranks that they have to do something for their hard strung nerves. So they have already started to remove gates, to lombard houses with cabbage stalks and so on. When number of property owners made an inspection of their premises this morn- ing they found their gates missing. Some of the gates have not been found as yet.
 -The Highland Stars were clearly outclassed in their game with the Third Congregational basketball team i'll the Third church's gymnasium last night. The Third church players play ed with more dash and vim than their opponents and their team work was far superior to tiat of their opponents. Still the game was at times very in- teresting when the Stars would make q spurt. The score was 1926 in favor of the Third church team. Manager Selby of the victors would like to ar- range a game with the Green Peas of the Y. NJ. c. A. He is confident that his players would prove their super iority to the Green Peas if such game should be arranged. The win ming team consisted of Selby, H. Nich- ols. Sattler, E. and I. Johnson, while F. Nichols, Callan, E. Wood, Mitchell and Feldt were their opponents.

LIGHTING THE CAPITOL.
Nearly 4,0OO Lamps to Be Utilized-ll-
 lumination of the Dome.

The contract for wiring the State capitol for it's lighting by electricity has been awarded to the New England Engineering Go of this city, as an- nounced in yesterdays Democrat. the local concern naming the lowest figure of any of the dozen bidders. The price is approximately $10000.
 Other firms, corporations and com panies submitting bids were: Thomas Oakes x So, c. N. Knox. Rice x Bald win and the Hartford City Gas Light Go. all of Hartford: Hawkes. Electric Co. Boston; New Britain Electrical Construction Co. New Britain; Perkins Electric Co, Torrington; Elm City Electric Co. New Haven't Brown Elec- tric Construction Co. New Haven; E. c. Wilcox, Meriden, and J. D. McGuire, New York.
 The contract was awarded by Comp troller Chamberlain. by authority vest ed in him by the last general assembly. During the session of that body the committee on Capitol furniture and grounds, in pursuance of resolution introduced, looked into the matter of lighting the Capitol by electricity. That committee reported favorably and the legislature appropriated $I6.000 for the purpose of equipping the edifice ready for the turning on of the current. The Capitol is now and always has been lighted by gas.
 ComDtroller Chamberlain had at his command the services of Prof William LisDenard Robb. professor of physics at Trinity, who is also an electrical ex- pert. as consulting engineer.
 The contract provides for wiring Tor 3.931 electric lamps, and that will be the number installed in the building. The wiring will be exclusively in con- duits, and all wires will be concealed. Every room. closet and corridor in the great structure will be provided with lighting facilities. lncandeScent. Nernst or arc lights may be used ac- cording to arrangements, which will be made later It is probable, however. that Nernst lamps will be used to q large extent, and it is practically cer- tain that the building may be made al- most as light as day when the work is finally complete and every lamp doing it's duty.
 particular feature Of the lighting will be the illumination of the dome. inside and out For the interior S36 lamps will be utilized. This number will include all within the dome radius. from the first floor upward, and may consist of incandescent arc or Nernst lights. Tn the center of the top of the interior of the dome will be located large Nernst lamp. Other lamps will be fixed in circles below if.
 The wiring of the Capitol will re- auire about three months time. The Hartford Electric Light Co will fur nish the current. Conduits have al- ready been laid in east and west Bush nell park and on the Capitol grounds. and eventually al1 electric wires in that territory will be under ground.

PARSONS BANK DEPoSITORS.
Not Satisfied With the Offer Made by
 Mrs Parsons
Editor of the Democrat:

Mrs Parsons.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir: As a depositor in the Par sons bank, beg leave to make few remarks on Mrs Parsons's offer to her creditors, namely 100 cents on tn dol lar to all creditors that deposited money after MT Parsons.s death, and 42 cents on the dollar to all creditors depositing previous to Mir Parsons's death. On the face of 1t it looks very magnanimous on her part, but come to analyze it and it certainly is very small offer. She simply offers 100 cents on the dollar to all those whom Judge Wheeler and jury has ordered her pay, and she then offers to her less fortunate creditors 10 cents on the dol lar, with B they have already received from the receivers. There is, believe, about S1a per cent left yet from the assets of the bank in the receivers hands, and Mrs Parsons figures this S1a per cent in on her offer of 10 per cent. So you see, Mir Editor, she of fers her partnership creditors only 11a cents on the dollar out of her own property. The only creditors in favor of accepting her offer are those who deposited their money with her after Mir Parsons's death and whom the court has ordered her pay in full. l think, MT Editor, if Mrs Parsons makes her partnership creditors any kind of a liberal offer they would sign her release inside of twenty-four hours. Say 20 per cent. Let her give us enough out of it so we can afford to hire good lawyers to fight the Holmes $ for the remainder of our money.
 Yours truly, A DEPOSITOR.

LARGE NUMBER TOOK SUPPER.
One of the Pleasing Features at St
 Joseph's T. A. Fair.

One of the Pleasing Features at St
 Joseph's T. A. Fair.
 Another large crowd was present at the St Joseph's fair in the City hall last evening. From , until 8 o'clock the genial waitresses were very busy in serving delicious suppers to q large number of people. These suppers are very popular, as evidenced by the large number which has already enjoyed them. While supper was being served the diners were entertained with piano selections by Miss Cecilia Castory. Many persons ayailed themselves of this opportunity of having a two-step while waiting for a seat at the table. The stage entertainment last evening was good and heartily applauded. Dancing is q feature of the fair. One of the most attractive places in the hall is the fancy art booth. Here the ladies love to finger and admire the delicate texture of the gorgeous array of fancy articles before them. Here is displayed to view everything that suits the fancy. The following fine stage program has been arranged for tonight: Wilson Tessier in head bal ancing and trapeze act; Theresa Me Nally, in song and dances. The talent ed little singer and dancer will show you how the Highland Fling should be danced. Altman and Curley, the Washington Hill famous and eccentric comedians, will appear in specialties.

Home for the Poor.

Editor THE NEws:-I would like to
call the attention oil the tax payers of
this county, to q matter, that was in
formally brought before the county
commissioners about year ago and
which each one of them, as individuals,
thought was good scheme. / refer
to the purchase, by the county, OF n
suitable piece OF land, say half sec.
ton, for the purpose of making or
creating a poor farm.
BY buying now, raw land, instead
OF a year ago, we vii! have to pay at
least 100 per cent more and to put
this matter off six months longer, we
will have to pay at least 80 per cent
more than now. All of us are aware
OF the fact that it is only question of
time as to when we will need such an
institution in this county and also the
longer this matter isdeierred the moro
it will cost us. Therefore we ought
to bring this matter before the COM
missioners by petition at their next
meeting.
lst. In the matter of dollars and
cents, it would be saving to the
county; because if We did not need it
now or in the course of two or three
years, We can buy it much cheaper
now than then; and till there is
necessity for it, we could lease it and
actually get some revenue from it.
2nd. The fact OF the county hay.
ing a poor farm would put backb
into the would be paupers. If they
knew that instead OF being supper, ted
in house OF their own, or rented
house, or boarded around among the
farmers, they would have to go to the
poorhouse, more OF them would be
more independent and seli-supportlng.
The writer does not have the figures
to show what our poor house costs
the county year, this being written
to bring the matter before the people
OF the county so the proposition can
be discussed; the necessary steps taken
to bring the matter before the COM
missioners at their next meeting.

The following clipping is taken
from the Santa Rosa, (Cal.) Republi-
can: "Vice Principal Charles d. Sny-
der of the Santa Rosa high school,
has accepted an appointment as in
structor in the Lowell high school Of
San Francisco, and his decision to
leave this city will be learned with
deep regret by his many friends. He
has been a popular member Of the
faculty for several years, and the stu
dents of that institution have come
to respect him both as teacher and
friend. At Friday nights meeting of
the Board of Education, arrangements
will probably be made to allow him to
make the desired change as soon as
possible. Professor Snyder is grad
uate of the Leland Stanford Junior
University, and is editor of the period
ical published by the alumni. He
hopes to remain in his present posi-
ton until his successor is appointed"
Mr.. Snyder is an Adams county boy
and is sustaining our reputation
abroad. He is brother of VIM. Say
der, one of our merchants. The father
lives in the southern part OF county
and is an early pioneer.

Keep Your Business Secrets.

Keep Your Business Secrets.
Adversely reveals the true colors Of
every man. The merchant is no ex-
ception. Ordinary mortals can be
happy and OF smiling countenance dur
ing prosperity, but it takes the fellow
with the real "stutf" in him to main
tain his mental pose when everything
seems to be going against him, says
the Michigan Tradesman.
We present you this homily because
in periods OF quietude, when business
is dull and shelves are creaking under
their merchandise, merchants are
prone to reveal their fears and mis-
givings to their employees.
Some OF them do it in one way,
some in another. One merchant viii
stride up and down in nervous, ex-
citable and irritable mood, finding
fault with things that under opposite
conditions he would allow to pass un-
noticed. Another will, Immediately
upon entering the store, HE himself
to his private Office, there to remain
in gloomy seclusion all day. A third
will sink into habits Of Incidence,
and by his unwonted neglect OF mai
tiers Of detail astonish the entire force
of subordinates. Any one OF these
attitudes works incalculable harm.
1t is the danger OF injecting those
about him OF which the man who wor-
ries should beware.
OF course, every successful man is Il
worrying man. The load he carries,
especially in dull periods, precludes-
the possibility OF his being otherwise.
But there is no sense, no wisdom, in
making of ones outward demeanor q
mirror in which the perturbed condi-
ton OF ones mind is reflected. It
can not possibly do any good 10 hetray
worriment, and it may do incalculi-
BILE harm.
A pleasant sdlutation for everyone
always has wholesome and inspiring
effect. But ii any ono pario cal he
singled out as the time wien cheer
fulness and buoyancy are absolutely
indispensable, it is when the aspec; Of
things is murky. It is them, more
than at all other times, that every
one in the factory, from superintend-
ent down, needs encouragement
needs an animated example OF how
not to "let your spirits go down"
You say, with business bad and
bills falling due with nerve destroying
regularity, it is no easy matter to be
cool, collected and cheerful.
OF course it is not. Hit were, hun
dreds who have gone down in defeat
would be in business today. 1t takes
courage, resolve, force and determine
ton as well as caution to win IN bust
ness.
Resolve each morning as you start
for the business to be cheerful, no
matter how bad trade may be, and
you will have contributed to your.
business factor for success that is
not outweighel in Importance by any
other feature OF your business.
