NORTHFORD.

 Miss Edith Cooke, who has so suc- cessfully taught in the Montowese school the past year, will teach in Plainville during the coming school year.
 Miss Ellen Coffey, of New Haven, is visiting here, dividing her time between her aunt, Mrs. Patrick Costello, and her cousin Mrs. Dennis Dwyer
 Miss Grace Foote and Miss Bertha Foote, of North Branford, are enjoying protracted visit with their aunt, Mrs. Ellen Baldwin.
 Mrs. Francis Stevens spent last week with Representative D. S. Stevens at the latter's cottage at Stony Creek.

 Two-thirds of the appropriation re- gently voted by the town of North Branford for road improvement under state auspices will be expended in the Northford section this season. Of course the amount of work which may be done will depend upon the percen- tage of the entire appropriation which the state may allow. But it is probable that the work on the highway toward New Haven will be completed as far as the town line. and something may be done in the upper portion of the vil- lage. This improvement, in connection with the work now being done by the town of North Haven, will give us such a fine driveway to the metropolis of Connecticut that we wont care much if we don't have any trolley line. If it should prove that trolley magnates have been waitnig for the state and the towns to do their grading for them there may be some tall kicking in case a future proposition should arise to tear up and utilize for other purposes the paved roadway which the taxpayers have provided for the use of those who may still have occasion to use other ve- hicles than trolley cars.

TATTooING DOGS BREASTS.

The Latest Fad That Has Become
 Popular With Canine Owners. A decidedly novel occupation which has. of late, been noticed Is that Of tattooing the names of their owners upon dogs Several months ago there appeared in Northwest Baltimore young man who is engaged in that pur- suit, and during the time he remained here did a good business Among the dogs which underwent the operation is pretty little fox terrier belonging to Charles F. Wohrna, which rejoices in the name of "Booze,' and fine bred bull terrier Zip" the property of the Chesapeake Brewing Company. Both animals bear upon their breasts, where the hair grows thinnest, the names of their respective owners.
 Contrary to the belief of some that the operation is cruel, painful one, those who have seen it performed de- clare that the animals apparently ex- perienced very little pain. The opera ton lasts about fifteen. The animal is usually held by two men, one having hold of the hind legs while the other holds the front paws. With set of very fine needles the operator then goes to work, defty pricking the letters into the skin, just deep enough to draw few drops of blood. Then he pours the Indian ink over the wounds, or rather scratches, and the operation is over. In a few weeks the sores are com pletetely healed, and the animal bears during the remainder of the existence an unmistakable mark of Identification The price of the operation is 50 cents- Baltimore American.

 ENCOURAGED.

This is a very important week with the Young Mems Christian association building committee and those who are in a position to know say there will be a very decided reduction made in the amount yet to be raised. Five hun dred dollars was reported to-day, leav- ing $32 800. The citizens of New Haven have responded so nobly that it would be a pity to see the association lose the Polo rink property now that it seems almost within reach. The re- markable part of the canvass is the fact less than 300 persons have contributed S21750o A general appeal has just been made and the officers believe that there will be a very general response because of the universal interest in the work. Let everybody have a share in this worthy enterprise even although the contribution is small.

TO plead to the indictment charging
him with manslaughter in shooting his
sister, Miss May Fosburg, on Aug. ~

voice. The proceedings lasted but ten
minutes. None Of Fosburgs relatives
was present. S. N. Taylor, a lawyer
from St. Louis who is an intimate
friend of the Fosburg family and who
took a prominent part several months
ago in looking up the movements OF

SWIFT CRUISERS PLANNED.
COMMITTEES Has Ambitions to Build
Twenty-two-K nut War Vessels.

COMMITTEES Has Ambitions to Build
Twenty two KNIT War Vessels.
Washington, July ia powerful
warship which can steam 10000 miles
without recoaling at speed Of 22
knots is the kind of an armored cruiser
the Naval Board of Construction now
has under consideration. Such a yes
sci could steam from a port on the
North Atlantic to Manila without
stopping at any South American or
North American port. She could cruise
for long period without putting into
port and her great speed would make
her safe if she fell in with a squadron
of wandering battleships or cruisers. .
These cruisers, two in number, will
be Of IA 1000 tons burden and will have
a coal capacity of 1000 tons. The ar
mored cruiser Brooklyn has capacity
of 1850 tons and the New York, also
armored, capacity of 1,150 tons.
The speed of twenty-five knots is
one knot faster than the contract
speed OF the Brooklyn and the New
York. In tonnage and general design
these vessels will be practically similar
to the armored cruisers California and
West Virginia, now under construc-
ton.
The board has decided that the two
ships shall have either eight-inch or
seyen-inch rifles in their main batteries,
but has not chosen between the two
calibers. 1t has been practically deter
mined, however, that if eight-inch
guns are selected they will be mounted
in turrets, but there will be no turrets
for seven-inch guns.

ROBERT S. FOSBURG.

nose the contracting firm of Robert l..
Fosburg & Co. They have built many
factories and installed the plants IN
and out of New England. They came
here a year and half ago to construct
the Stanley Electric Companys new
works. Mrs. Fosburg, the mother. had
been visiting relatives in st. Louis,
and arrived home Saturday evening,
Aug. 10, 1900. The house was dark
ened before midnight and the mem
bers of the Fosburg family and their
guest, Miss Sheldon. retired. Then,
little more than an hour later, there
was a terrible cutlery. The startled
neighbors heard frantic calls for as
sistance. A struggle was going on IN
the Fosburg house. Two pistol shots
were heard, followed by screams OF
women and the hoarse shouts of men.
From an open second-story window
Robert L. .Fosburg appealed: Will
no one come to us? We are being
murdered by burglars Those who
rushed in found May Fosburg, shot
through the head, lying dead on the
floor of her bedroom. Her father had
been 50 beaten that weeks elapsed be-
fore he recovered from the blows. May S
mother, too, had been badly hurt, but
not so seriously as Mr.. Fosburg. Rob
ert Stewart Fosburg had received one
blow at the base of the skull that had
deprived him of his senses. A tale
was told of burglars, three in number.

belonged to the Fosburgs. The Sits
that had been made for the eyes would

slightly disarranged the pillow slip

unoccupied room through which the
burglars are said to have twice passed
a gold watch and some other jewelry,
not of great value, had been left un-
touched. The only article missing was

were taken and by these Chief Nichol-
