 Saturday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Mallory served papers on John Young, of Derby. at his cottage at Milford Point, in summary process proceedings brought by the heirs of the George T. Smith estate, to which the strip of beach on which Young and others have cottages belongs. For some years the cottagers have paid very nominal rem tai for the use of the land. This year when it came time to renew the leases under which they rented this land the price was raised and in some cases re- Istrictions were placed in the contracts. Not all the cottagers renewed their leases and this suit brought against Young looks as though some who have not renewed would have to move off the beach

MIR. sToEcKELs MUSIC SHED.

Test of it's Acoustic Properties Satisfac-
 tory to the Designer-Not Quite Sea-
 soned Yet
 Norfolk, May 1O-The music shed erected by Carl Stoeckel on his grounds at Norfolk to test certain theories of acoustics was used Friday night for concert purposes, and at the close MT. Stoeckel was satisfied that he is in fair way to reach the end at which he aims. At the close of the concert he said that the hips which are on each side of the building to add to it's seating capacity should be removed and that the stage should be made deeper. He feels that a further test should also be made after the timbers of which the shed is constructed shall have be- come dried, feeling that this will in crease it's resonant qualities. The building is constructed of lumber fresh from the yards and it has not yet had chance to dry out The building, MT. Stoeckel said, will probably stand for month longer, and may be used again in that time.
 The concert in itself was a charming illustration of the exquisite taste and gracious hospitality which govern all similar functions, whether musical or social. at Whitehouse in Norfolk. Tn concert was ostensibly under the aus Ipices of the Norfolk Choral society, each member having limited number of tickets. In this way fully six hundred persons enjoyed the playing of nearly sixty men, who have been doing duty throughout the season in the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera company of NewYork. and the fine singing of Mad anne Louise Homer, member of this company.
 The hall, or shed, as MT. Stoeckel is pleased to call it, will be used once more for the annual prize oratorical contest by boys in Litchfield county on Friday of this week.

 We, the republicans of Connecticut, in state convention assembled, express our unwavering fidelity to the principles of the republican party as set forth in the national platform of 1900.
 We heartily endorse the administra- ton of President Roosevelt under which the country has attained com mercial development and prosperity un- exampled in modern times. He has dis charged the duties and responsibilities of his high office with such marked fidelity and conspicuous ability, and his wisdom and statesmanship has so im- pressed the country at large, that his nomination is demanded by the repub- licans of the country and his election is assured by the people.
 We respectfully recommend that the delegates chosen by this convention act as a unit in securing his nomination.
 The resolutions were adopted with cheers.

PREDICTS HOT SUMMER.

That we are to have hot summer is the conclusion of Farmingtons weather observer, Professor Stenson. He says that in the last fifty years the average temperature has not varied more than five and one-half degrees. Consequent ly as the winter has been abnormally cold the summer will have to be corres- pondingly warm to strike the average. He figures that the average tempera- ture for the simmer must be somewhere in the vicinity of seventy-eight degrees in order to bring the mean temperature of the year up to recorded standards.
