South Norwalk, Oct 5.-Local inter- est to-day was centered in the cleo tions held in the new town of South Norwalk and the 6ld town of Norwalk. Each town had voting places in the dis tricts in South and East Norwalk, and as a result of the feeling in both places there was a large vote boiled. The indications are that more than two-thirds of the voters favored the town of South Norwalk, while the old town was supported by about one third. The opposition ito the new town was headed by Representative Jeremiah Donavan, who had number of supporters, and every effort was made to get out good vote. early in the day. There was no trouble of any kind, and good feeling prevailed on all sides. The candidates for selectmen in both towns will be elected, as there are only three nominees in each town. The town of South Norwalk will have a republican majority and the town of Norwalk democratic majority.

Many Places In Connecticut
 Voting To-Day.
EAST HAVEN HEARD FROM.

First Place to Get It's Returns-Re- Y. publicans Win and So Does License
 Considerable Excitement Down
 Norwalk Way.
 New Haven, Oct 5.-In all the towns of Connecticut except New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Derby and Naugatuck, the annual elections are being held to-day for the choice of town officials. Tn some towns also the question of license is again being con- s1dered, this affording the chief ele- ment of interest in the result. AS far As weather conditions are concerned, the day seems to favor large turnout of voters at the polling places to re- ward the efforts of party managers to that end. Although in an off year when there is no election of state of ficers to occur in November, these ".little town elections" lose some of their importance in a general way as forecasting later results, tEay are still followed by party leaders with cons1d- erable interest. In many instances the voting is still largely on party lines though only local self-govern- uent is concerned
 The most unusual SltuatlOn present. ed in connection with the town elections Is in Norwalk and South Norwalk and arises from the dispute over the di- vision Of the town of Norwalk by the last legislature Those citizens of South Norwalk who hold that the gov ernor's veto of the bill setting off the city of NorwAlk as a town distinct from Norwalk was not legally binding have a ticket for town officers of South Norwalk in the field while the town of Norwalk, disregarding the al legged division also had voting places in the districts of South Norwalk and East Norwalk.
 In New Britain the chief interest centered about the question of consol' idation of the town and city govern ment as provided for in the proposed new charter.
 A special election for judge of pro- bate is being held in Ridgefeld to choose a successor to William O. Sey- mour. The democrats have nom1n- ated George P. Ingersoll. son of the late Governor Colin M. Ingersoll, and the republicans have named Henry F. BisseE.

Wells IN UNIVERSAL VOGUE.
Chiffon and Tulle Are Popular for
the Face and DrnperIes
on the Hat.

Wells may be said to be the universal
vogue with fashionable women al pres
ent, and in those of the European coun-
tries from which we draw advices of
the mode and supplies of millinery
wares. The veilings continue to be Of
chiffon and tulle-the former variously
worn over the face, and used for drap-
cry on hats-the latter worn exclu-
sively over the face. Whether of one
or the other gossamer tissue, they are
this season mostly in black and white,
or in gray effects of black and white,
or of white and black, the fancy of the
existing mode seeming not much to
favor fancy colors in these tissues, says
the Millinery Trade Review. Wafer
spots and the other figures of velvet
in black and white relieve the veilings
both of chiffon and tulle, while chiffon
gossamers show in some cases embroi-
derry and other enrichments of design
in manufacture. and those of tulle
threadingtraceries, seeding and other
interesting conceits, of design, tending
to their beautifying effect upon their
fair wearers.
The "Elsie"s veil, which has fanciful
bordering at the lower edge, and is
worn to fall loosely, after the man.
ner of the wells of lace of two score
years ago, or in the days of our moth
ers, is just now much affected for the
beauty veil; although seen mostly in
chiffon, printing on tulle is among the
new ideas to give variety to the manu-
facture for yelling purposes, and large
open meshings vary the close of ma
lines weaves. When the range in price
for wells, from 12 cents to S12, is quoted
the range in variety and quality Of
manufacture can be imagined.

WHERE GOD is.

We used to sit together, my Uncle JOB
and /,
Ana watch the sunset glory where it lin
gered in the sky;
Wide fields of crimson, purple edged; great
citadels of flame
The shifting play of shade and ray In some
fantastic game;
The shadow host that leaped ana ran to
kiss the fading world
Ana WHISPERED ''peace," and peace, and
.ueace," ere the day its banner furled;
And as we watched the lambent flames
that quivered in the air.
NV uncle doffed his hat and said: my
boy, our God is there"
the shady trees
Ard heard the songs of all the plros, the
whisper of the breeze.
Atar the landscape stretched away through
summer lands of cheer;
Eorpotten wrong in Natures song that
souls enraptureG hear;
Above. a sea of deepest blue, with isles of
feecy cloud,
Ard birds to voyage Ger the main tnat
never mortal plowed;
And long we'd sit, and long we'd dream
and know the 1aytide cheer;
Then uncle would in reverence say: MY
boy, our God is here"
Long years ago my uncle died, the sunlight
on his hair,
But wheresoe'er he bides to-day, know
his God is there.
For If by chance he should not reach the
heav'n through spaces dim,
Where'er he went would be content; he'd
take his heav'n with him;
And, watching all the shifting scenes OF
Mfe's fantastic play,
Jye learned one truth, and learned 1t well
and e'er humbly say:
"The God we love all gods above, the God
of praise and prayer.
Is ever in the loving heart that longs tt
hold Him there"

what Education viii Do.

A railway company was erecting
line of new poles along highway.
One of the men engaged to fill in the
dirt and clear up around the piles was
an Irishman. He had not got beyond
his first pole, but stood pondering how
to dispose of the dirt, which had filled
the space now occupied by the pole
His sense of the fitness of things must
have been strong, for he was averse to
piling the loose dirt around the base
of the pole, as is the custom. A negro
wayfarer stopped for match, and the
freshman asked his advice. IF was
a-doin' dat job, I'd JUS dig hole bout
where you'ah standin' and shovel de
dirt into it. Much 'blige!" As the
negro sauntered away, the Irishman
scratched his head and murmured:
"Well, it's not to be denied that eddica-
ton has been afther-r doin' a gr-r-eat
deal for-r tn naygur-r."-PhiIade

WILD MEN OF BORNEO.
Traces of the Original Side-Show
Fakes Have Been Found by
Scientists.

Two men of science are exploring
the island of Celebes, adjacent to Bor-
neo, bent on proving the existence of
that creation of the county fair and
the "side show" the wild man of Bor
neo. DR.. Paul and DR.. Fritz Sara sin
are the explorers who are hunting the
| wild man on his native heath, says
the Chicago Tribune.
When the two scientists landed at
Macassar they heard stories of the
existence of the wild men, and these
they thought to be merely myths. 1t
was said that type of primitive mem
was eXtant and to be found in the un-
explored wilds.
| Their informants said the wild men
were SO shy and untama BILE that it was
almost impossible to get near them,
even to catch glimpse of them. The
stories were not generally believed in
Macassar, and the explorers thought
at first that escaped criminals had
taken to the mountains and had
frightened the natives into believing
them to be wild.
| Upon further inquiry they learned
that the wild men, or wood men,
were confined to a certain district,
and were subject to rajah. They
proceeded to this district, bearing
gifts to the potentate. Under the in
huence of wise distribution of pres
ents the explorers Sc worked on the
rajah that he agreed 20 show them GER
tain types of the wood men, who were
held in captivity.
He had man, two women ane
a child brought before the scientists
who decided at glance that they
belonged to primitive race of man
These specimens, lowever, were haE
tanned and had been in captivity 81
long that they had lost many of thu
characteristics of their race. TIL,
rajah added that the real wild mel
lived in the mountains.
/ Protected by nature to large ex
tent, they lived in the fashion of mel
of the stone age, without many o
the accomplishments of gentlemen
of that period. They defended them
selves with stones, not even havin:
learned the art of making the ston
hatchet, which indicates that the,
are considerably behind the state o
civilization in which our ancestors o
the stone age lived.
They are cave dwellers, not havin!
learned to build shelters, and prob
ably not caring to. They ar
homogeneous. Culture is at such
low ebb with them that they canno
even count, and they do not know hov
, to tell lie. They are in such prim
tive state that they have to tell tn
! truth. Possibly their vocabulary j
not sufficiently developed.
These stories of the rajah have in
, terested the scientists, and they ar
now in the mountains trying to fin
the real wild man of Borneo."

INDIANS USE BREAKFAST FOOD
Members of the klamath Tribe Util-
ize Seeds of Species Of
Water Lily.

Breakfast food unknown in the
modern markets, but which has been
in use by the Klamath Indians since
aboriginal times, has been discoy-
cred by Frederick v. Colville, botan-
list of the department of agriculture.
who says it is more palatable and
more nutritious than many of the
patent foods now in common use.
The food consists of the prepared
seeds of the "wocas," large yellow
water lily, which grows in the Ka-
math marsh on the Indian reserva-
ton of the same name in southern

West Indian Coffee.

It seems good deal of trouble, but
it might pay to try the recipe for MAX
ing perfect coffee, according to West
Indian coffee planters idea of perfec-
ton. Roast the coffee just before US
ing it by placing the green beans in an
enamelled saucepan, constantly stir
ring to prevent burning. Put one large
tablespoonful of powdered coffee for
each cup required into jug, and pour
boiling water over it. Let the coffee
stand in the jug for half an hour,
strain through linen or cotton bag
into the coffee pot, and serve. 1t will
be very strong.-N. Y. POST
