Pennington. Conn. oct. 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's day in Pennington
provided quite a notable addition to
the historic annals of this ordinarily
quiet old town.
The intention of the presidents sis
ter, Mrs. Cowles, to make the occasion
a private affair. was considerably over
come by the anxiety of the people to
see the president and to take his hand.
Throughout the morning there was
no particular demonstration, but in the
middle of the afternoon the turnout of
| toWnSpeople added to- the influx of
several hundred from Hartford and adj
Joining townships enlarged the thrOngs
to proportions much beyond that to
which Pennington is accustomed
Everybody on the street was inquir-
ing when and where the president could
ne seen, but the mass of people went
away satisfied for the president made
three dashes through portions of the
town. In the last of these he rode out
in an open carriage through the big
crowd assembled on the principal street
corners just at the conclusion of the
ceremony of planting a Mckinley me-
mortal oak Men and women youths
and maids pushed and struggled to
touch the presidents hand as he lean
ing far out of the carriage endeavored
10 reach as many as possible without
delaying a more formal reception which
awaited him at his sisters home
The presidents day was filled with
enjoyable rides, walks and receptions
1t was concluded this evening with a
dinner given at the home of Com
mander and Mrs. CowIes. Among the
guests t the dinner were the president
and his daughter. Miss Alice Roosevelt:
Secretary Cortelyou. Assistant Secre-
tary Barnes. United States Senator's
Joseph r. Hawley and Orviile H. Platt
and their wives and Governor George
p. Mclean.
Climbed a Mountain.
Between his two rides the president
and few friends took long tramp
to Pinnacle mountain. An interesting
incident of the morning drive was the
greeting of $50 school children. attired
in white. waving flags at the president
as he rode by.
The afternoon was chiefly devoted to
receptions, first to the young woman of
the Porter school and second to the
guests invited by Mrs Cowles to meet
ators and their ladies assisted in receiv-
ing.
One Of the features of the day was
the planting of the Mckinley oak on
the pubic green, opposite the pictur-
esque and historic Elm Tree inn.
President Roosevelt declined to take
part in this. on the ground that it woulI
not be in good taste to do so on this
occasion after having declined other
similar invitations. Governor Mclean
and Major Harrison of Hartford were
the principal speakers at the exercises.
The town was well pOliced by deputy
sheriffs and constables. the customary
warning having been sent out in adj
vance by the chief of police at Wash
ingtoa The secret service men followed
the presidents party as far as posi-
Die, but were unable always to keep
track of the rapid changes
The president viii leave Pennington
at BIO a m. tomorrow and viii arrive
in New Haven about an hour later.

THE NEW FISH LAW.

There are many radical differ
ences between the new and the
old fish act, which fishermen need
to note carefully. This is partic-
ularly the case with respect TO
the open and close seasons for
game fish and the minimum size
of the latter which may be legally
killed. For example, the black
bass season and that of pike, pick
eral, pike-perch or Susquehanna
salmon, rock and calico bass does
not open hereafter until June 10.
Sunfish, hitherto an unprotected
fish, has been placed among the
game fishes and given the same
open and close season as the 9th
er fishes just mentioned. While
the open season for black bass is
delayed for two weeks, the close
season does not begin until Feb
ruary Is, instead of December 81,
as formerly. Under the new act
black bass may not be killed less
than z inches in length. The
trout season will open as former
ly, on April Is, but will not close
until July 81, an extension of tif-
teen days. No trout NAV be kill
ed less than 6 inches in length.
Under the new law, game fishes
are clearly defined, and no device
may be used to catch them, ex-
cept rod, hook and line, or hand
line, having not more than three
hooks. Specific devices, some
hitherto prohibited, may be used
to catch catfish, suckers and eels
at certain or any time of the year
under stipulated restriction.
Among them may be mentioned
outlines, fyke nets and dip nets.
A section of great Importance for
bids any person, under heavy
penalty, to apply for any game
fish, to be planted in any waters
in which the public are not allow
ed to fish. Another declares that
wherever an owner applies for
game fish for a stream, the wat
ers thereafter shall be free tC
public fishing.

Misfortune.

The family of Mr.. B. M. Logue,
of Ayr township, have been the
victims Of more than ordinary
misfortune this summer. Soon
after removing from Franklin
county, Marshall,a young son, be-
came afflicted with rheumatism,
which seems to stay with him.
Six weeks ago, Orville, a telegraph
operator in the employ of the
Standard Oil Company, stationed
in western Pennsylvania, bruised
a finger of his right hand slight
ly, and blood poison followed, and
since that time he has suffered
much-at times it was feared the
hand would have TO be amputated.
Then to add a third to the list,
Lester was splitting wood in the
woodhouse Mt home, Tuesday OF
last week, when the axe glanced,
and he cut his right foot almost
off, about halfway between the
toes and the instep. 1t required
fine surgical skill TO mend the
foot, and it will be a good while
before he is able to use it.

Watch Found After 80 Years.

On July 13, 1869, Mr.. George
G. Scott, of this place, was driv-
ing a two-horse buggy from this
place TO his brothers, at the foot
Of Sideling Hill, and just after he
had started down the other side
of Scrub Ridge, a masked robber
stopped him; and, pointing re-
volver at him, demanded his
pocket book and other valuables.
Among other things taken was a
gold watch which Mr.. Scott
priced highly as it had belonged
to a deceased brother. While
Mr.. Scott had his suspicious, he
never thought aloud, and nc
trace of the guilty party or the
stolen property was found until
a few days ago. Mr.. Scott heard
that a gold watch had been sold
at the public sale of the personal
property of John Daniels, Esq,
by his executor, in Licking Greek
township, and purchased by ia
cob Strait, of Harrisonville. Mr.
Scott called on Mr.. Straight yes
terday to see the watch, and as
soon as his eyes fell upon it, he
recognized it as the watch thai
had been stolen from him almos'
thirty-two years ago. Mr.. Dan
iels was a farmer, and for many
years served as Justice of the
Peace, he also bought, repaired
aud sold watches, and it is sale
that the watch in question was
purchased by him about twenty
years ago, but none of the mem
bers of the family can remember
from whom and he had no ide;
that it had been stolen, as he fre
quently carried it and tried tC
sell it on several occasions.

Their conduct was ineXcusable,
