WANTED PROTECTION.
But Standish Sisters Were Not Willfhg
 to Pay $5 for It.

But standish Sisters Were Not Willfhg
 to Pay $5 for It.
 Hartford, July 2.-The Standish sis ters of Weathersield, who are said to be very wealthy came to this city yes terday morning and attracted much at tention on the streets because of their dress. The object of their visit was to get an officer to protect them over the Fourth of July. They first went to the police station, but as the jurisdic- ton of the police department does not extend to Wethersfield, nothing could be done for them there and they went to the county building and consulted with Sheriff Smith.
 The women claimed that during ob- servances of the Fourth of July in Wethersfeld. in former years, crowd has gathered near where they live and kept up a racket shortly after sunset on the night before the Fourth to sun- rise the next morning and they said that on those occasions much property belonging to them had been destroyed. They appeared to be very much alarm ed and were in an apparently nervous state because of fear of the treatment they would receive at the approaching Fourth of July. They told Sheriff Smith that Alfred W. Hammer was the first selectman of Wethersfield. They had been to him and asked him for protec- ton, but MT Hammer would not give them special protection and that was what they wanted. The usual fee of deputy sheriffs who do work of the kind wanfed by the Misses Standish is $5 and Sheriff Smith asked the deputies who were in the office if they wanted to do duty at the house of the Misses Standish from sunset the night before the Fourth until sunrise the next morn ing. .,- X ~%-
 The deputies present had engage ments but Sheriff Smith told the wo- men that he would arrange for protec- tion for them and if they came to the office little later in the day he would let them know about the arrangements.
 "Ah, well,'' said one of the women, "before we agree to pay $5 we would have to think about it and we would have to see MT Hammer to see if we could deduct the amount from our taxes and we would not pay the $5 unless we could deduct the amount Sheriff Smith told them that if there was some question about the payment he could not send a deputy for special duty of the kind wanted, but if they wanted special protection and were willing to pay for it he would provide it for them.
 The women left the office to think the matter over.

 big sign in the window of Walk CTS drug store attracted much atten- tion last night. The sign Is an adver- tsement for Quaker Straw Bleach, which is used to clean straw hats. It makes old hats look like new. It is a great money saver and it does not in- jure the hat in any way. The sign contains 174 electric lights, which pro duce a brilliant effect. If your hat is soiled with dust and dirt. go to Walk CTS and purchase q cake of Quaker Straw Bleach for 15 cents. It's a winner.
