Mr.. and Mrs. Powers of New York
were guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ger
ould from Sunday morning until Wednes-
day morning. Now those who have read
Frank R. Stockton's 1.-THE Lady or the
Tiger" can fully appreciate the remainder
of this paragraph. Mr.. Powers Isl the
cartoonist Of the New York World, and
Is said to command the modest little sala-
~ of $500 per week, while Mrs. Powers
Is former Stafford girl, cousin to Mr..
Gerould, and we'll known here formerly
as Miss Lena Hyde. The couple regis
tered at the Springs house last Thursday,
where they stayed until Sunday morning,
when they shouldered their little grips
and walked up to this place. Mrs. Pow
srs stated that there was some trouble
between two leading New York dailies
and that her husband was keeping out of
the way TO avoid being mixed up In the
affair. Tuesday Mr.. Powers became the
special and undivided attention of party
Of new arrivals, consisting of three men
and one woman. 1t Is stated that the
senior man of the party Is Mr.. Stillwell
of Hartford, the state representative of
the New York Journal, and that the wo-
man, Miss or Mrs. Patterson, and the
other two men are also connected with
the same paper. Their sole object ap-
parantly was to watch every movement of
Mr.. Powers and also for an opportunity
for Miss Patterson to interview the gentle
man. Their hopes for the much desired
interview were not realized. Wednesday
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Powers had
friend drive them to the State Line, where
they took the train south, giving their
would-be friends the slip and a good
chance to make another start. Mr.. Still
well and Miss Patterson were at the
Springs house this morning and the two
men are still at Blacks hotel. AS far
as can be learned there is no criminal &C.
tion In the matter, simply a breach of
contract. To onlookers the proceedings
appear to be about as childish as lot of
children playing "hide-and-coop." After
the parties have all left town the whole
details of the affair are promised.
