But few people in Newtown or sur rounding towns are conversant with the new laws governing tires on heavy wagons. It is said that few of our local citizens have been held up in Danbury and Bethel by officials who have called their attention to the law. Section 2032, Page 535, of the Revised Statutes reads:
 Section 2O32. Width of Tires. All vehicles used upon any highway in the transportation of merchandise shall be equipped with tires of width as follows: All vehicles having an iron axle two inches square, or an axle of equivalent strength, shall have tires not less than four inches in width. All vehicles having an iron axle one inch and three quarters square, or an axle of equivalent strength, shall have tires not less than three inches in width. All vehicles, having an iron axle one inch and a half square, or an axle of equivalent strength, shall have tires not less than two and one-half inches in width. All vehicles so used on or after July l, 1903, and having an iron axle two and one-half inches square, or an axle of equivalent strength, shall have tires not less than five inches in width. Provided that the foregoing provisions regarding tires shall apply to such vehicles as were already in use within this state prior to July |, 1896, only on and after July l, 1903. All wheels so used, requiring re-rimming Or retiring, shall be made to conform to the provisions of this section re- garding the relative width of tires and size of axles. Every person who shall violate any provision of this section shall be fined not more than one hun dred dollars.
 This was amended at the January session as follows:
 Section 2032 of the General Statutes is hereby amended by adding thereto the following: Owners of a wagon or wagons not conforming to the above requirement., who shall file with the town clerk of the town where said wagon or wagons are used, on or before November l, 1903, a sworn statement setting forth that the said wagon or wagons were owned and already in use by them in this state prior to July l, 1896, shall be exempt from the penalty attached to this section. The select men of each town shall, on or before August l, 1903, post a notice in every school district in their respective towns, setting forth all the require ments of this section and the penalties for noncompliance with the same."
 Approved, May 29, 1903. '
 Five persons in Newtown have com piled with the above section, as fol- lows: John M. Beardsley, George B. Dean, John M. Beers, George w. Nor throp and James Green.

REV C. Fl, SMITHRESIGNS 5.. ATE AT PLYMOUTH
ro ACCEPT A CALL TO BARRE, MASS.

The pastor of the Congregational Rev 0. H. Smith, resigned his office at the close of Sundays Com service, the resignation to take effect, November 16. MrSmith resigns to accept a call to the Congregational church at Barre, Mass. He came here from the Windsor Avenue church in Hartford, having previously served the churches of Belchertown, Mass, and Burlington, Conn. The poor and destitute, the friendless and afflicted have ever found friend and helper in MT Smith and it is with a deep sense of personal loss that many will learn Of his departure. In the Grange and Pomona, as we'll as in the State Grange, where he has been chaplain, he has won wide circle of friends, which is equally true of his relations in Odd Fellowship, he having been chaplain of Franklin; lodge of Thomaston and grand chaplain of the state for some time. There is not lazy bone in his body and his active nature will find exercise to Barre's gain. His only son and baby daughter lie in Plymouth's Gods acre and Rev and Mrs Smith and their two daughters, Mabel and Pearl, will have many Plymouth ties that can never be uprooted. The letter of resignation:
 To the officers and members of the First Congregational church, Plymouth, Conn.,, Greeting-Having received call to another field of labor, I hereby resign my office as pastor of this church, said resignation to take effect November 16, 1903. I request that a dismissing council be called as soon as convenient, that I may con. clude my labors according to Congre. gational usage. In closing nearly nine years of service as pastor of this church, let me express my hearty thanks tc the many friends who have loyalty up held the work of the church and the pastor during these years. Wishing you grace, mercy and peace I remain

that the Pere Marquette railroad at various

Center, Doyle, Avoca, Croswell and Mem
phis for interstate shipments of hay and
grain, although meantime furnishing cars
at other points for other shippers, includ-
ing the competitors of the complainant
The complainant alleges the attitude Of the
railroad company is discriminative
The Wabash and the Texas and Pacific
railroads have filed with the Interstate
commerce commission answers to orders of
the commission regarding the recent adj
vances in freight rates. The roads admit
making certain advances. but aver that
answer admits that these advances have
operated to some extent to increase the
total rates on such traffic from points west
of the Missouri river to Chicago and Mis-
sissippi river pointstI but says that the in
crease is only slight and is necessary and
proper considering cost of Transportation
and general conditions.
The Texas and Pacific says the prime
object of its advances in class and COM
modify rates is to produce sufficient revenue
to bring reasonable return on the prop
erty of the road. The average tncrea Sc
made by the tariffs of March Is, 1903. on
the Texas and Pacific. 1t says, does not ex-
coed 10 per cent. 1t adds that every item

Gen. Payne Hopeful Of Reducing the
Rate to Two Cents.

Pos or General Payne il hopeful that

part elca- % 4 have treaties with all Of the
EuroI.t countries that will reduce the
postage on parcels sent between those
countries and the United States. III his
last ann / report Mir. Payne recommend
ed met cd parcels post arrangement.
Notice been given the German gov
eminent of the termination of the last
treaty and the desire to make new one
which will reduce the postage on parcels.
The new treaty with France will likely
become operative July 1. Negotiations are
more or less advanced with other countries
of Europe, among which are Great Britain.
Italy and :. ..ild Norway.
The POSTMASTER General is also hOpeIui
that be.u.s long there will be a uniform
letter post,.ge rate of cents between the
countries OF europe and the United States
He has had conferences of late with
number of the diplomatic representatives
of these governments in Europe.
Any embarrassment that may come in
the way of successfully negotiating for
cheaper postage for letters sent to and de-
livered from foreign countries will come
from the fact that some of the countries
charge a greater postage for domestic SER
vice than does the United States.
For instance. Italy has a Accent domestic
postage for letters, and the government
does not see it's way clear to deliver mail
to foreign countries for one-half of the
cost charged its own people.

CONDEMNS LABOR LEADERS
Archbishop Bruchesi Of Montreal Out
in Pastoral Letter.

ST. JOHNS, N. B., April 2S-In a pastoral
letter the most Rev. Paul Bruchesi, Roman
Catholic archbishop of Montreal, condemns
labor leaders and organizers, and advises
the laboring classes to pay no heed to strike
agitators, but to look for arbitration on lust
and reasonable demands. In part the arch
bishop says:
Responsibility is not incurred by those
leaders and writer's who profit by the
slightest conflict between labor and capital
to foment discord and rebellion and to in
spire hatred toward employers They are
the most dangerous foes Of the people
whose interests they pretend to serve. Let
not our laboring classes heed their sug-
gestions. They have absolutely nothing to
gain. Deceived by these false friends and
urged on by them 70 commit the most
lamentable acts. they will, on the contrary,
forfeit public sympathy"
