h'GANN CUT SHINES.
New Haven and Bridgeport in the
 Big Elks Parade.

ID the big parade of tbe visiting Elks at Buffalo Wednesday the two Connecticut lodges in line were from New Haven and Bridgeport.
 New Haven lodge 9 turned out 75 members in line. They presented a splendid appearance. dressed in Beau Brummel uniforms of white duck, trimmed with purple. The men wore bell-topped high hats and long white coats, with white duck trousers and purple stocks. They were headed by the Electric City band in very hand some uniforms and were in charge of City Judge Richard Tyner, esquire of the lodge, and Exalted Ruler Edward A. Rourke. State Senator McGann led the band as drum major and ex- ecuted many fancy steps to the great delight of the crowd. The splendid appearance made by this lodge elicited unstinted applause
 Bridgeport lodge 36 presented nov el feature. The members of this lodge were headed by squad of sixteen of the regular police force of Bridgeport. in charge of Sergeant Webb. The lodge had 125 men in line. dressed in white uniforms trimmed with purple. They presented very pretty appear ance as they marched with great ac- curacy in charge of Captain Frederick H. Masterson. past exalted ruler of the lodge. This lodge was headed by the Wheeler X Wilson band. Leader ]. NJ. Fulton of the American band, and Bovine played with the band.
 The Elks voted to repeal two rules adopted at last years meeting al Gin cinnati. making the decisions of the committee on laws and the committee on grievance and appeals final. These rules left no right of appeal to the grand lodge and proved objectionable. The proposal to cut down the size of the grand lodge by limiting its mem- hership was then debated at length, but the question was not decided.
 Best appearing lodge in parade: Toledo lodge. No. 53. first prize of $500: Detroit lodge. No. 34. second prize of S1O0 silk banner: most unique uniform. single prize $500. awarded to Cleveland lodge. No. IS: greatest mi lage. $500. Fl Paso lodge.

 Al the afternoon grand lodge session the southern lodges led a fight to SC cure passage of a resolution debarring saloon keepers and others connected with the liquor traffic. from member shin in the order. The northern lodges nnnosed such a move. The matter was laid over and will probably come ID a- Denver next year. i resolution to affiliate with the Canadian order of EIks was defeated.

MILK MUST BE PURE
Dealers Say the New Law Will Cause
 Lots of Trouble.

Some of the milk dealers are not sat isied with the milk ordinance and claim that instead of resulting in a better quality of milk it will have a tendency to lower it. They claim that the new order of things will practical ly do away with the Jersey COW by farmers who supply milk to Water bury dealers and the substitution therefor of inferior stock, simply be- cause it yields more milk, though of far inferior quality. It is said that the Jersey will not average over ten or twelve quarts day while good Hol- stein will often give from eighteen to twenty quarts. A man who has had lot of experience in the milk busi- ness would like to make a wager with the health board that you can add two or three quarts of water to the milk without any adulteratien whatever. But you can't do this. No matter how far it is above the standard you must not reduce it by the use of water. This is what makes some of the farmers mad From time immemorial the pump was an important feature of the milk supply and to think that it is to be abandoned at this stage of the worlds history is something few of them can stand and keep cool. It is likely that another effort will be made to induce the board to change the or dinance so that milk that comes up to the standard will be acceptable so long as it contains nothing worse than water. It is not likely that the board will recede from the position it has taken on this question. Chairman Rod man said in answer to a query of this nature that if milk was above the standard, all right. but that nobody could reduce it no matter how much it might be above the requirement.. adding that adulteration was just what the board was aiming to do away with. It is an interesting question all around and while the average citizen doesn't appear to take much stock in it, the milkmen regard it as the most impOr tant matter that came before the pub lie in years, and they are right. For the present at least the milkman is obliged by law to sell his milk as it comes from the COW. Some of them consider this as much of a hardship as to compel sugar dealers to elim- mate sand from their stock, but for all people know they may do that some day, too.

 As far back a history traces. crack CTS in one form or other have been val. ued as an article of food.

Indeed. the cracker at its best was never known until Cneeda Biscuit was given to the world by the National Biscuit CO. That was only six years ago. but since then more than 300.0D0. Op0 packages have been sold. and in all the history of the world no food has more fully supplied the needs Of young and old than Uneeda Biscuit.

ROW IN THE THEATER
Harry Delaney Tells Why He Thrash.
 ed Leading Man Simmons.

The final act at the Jacques last night was quite lively. It was wit messed by only few and the princi- pals were Harry Delaney, stage hand. and Earle C. Simmons. the lead ing man in Poli's own stock company. Simmons was unable to play his part in Monte Cristo' this afternoon, and Mir Delaney is expecting things to hap pen.
 There are several versions of the disturbance. George Hoey, the man. ager. claims he knows nothing about it and was not in the house at the time it happened. It makes very little diff ference to Simmons when or how or where it occurred. He was confined to his room to-day, while Delaney claims he merely stuck up for an op- pressed fellow worker and in defense of the nationality of his own father.
 Simmons's story is to the effect that he was taken unawares and that the stage was empty at the time. He says he was knocked down and two or three stage hands jumped all over him. Delaney. he said, threatened him sev- eral times and one or two members of the company were jealous of his sue cess and popularity. For some days he had been ill with stomach disor- ders. and was weak and unable to de- fenf himself. He is under the im- pression that but for the interference of Willard Dashiell he would have been seriously hurt.
 Delaney said that Simmons had been making himself as disagreeable as possible since his appearance in the theater. 4 property boy named Mar tin Meyers seemed to he his particular aversion, for, according to Delaney, Simmons tried in every way to make Meyers's job unpleasant.
 Last evening. before the curtain went up on the last act Simmons de- livered a speech at Meyers in which he threatened him and called him names. Delaney was near by and heard the whole outburst. Simmons seeing him turned upon him and closed with the remark that he would do for him also and called him a son of a dirty Irish Mick. simmons was ready 10 90 on the stage at that time and Delaney managed to hold his temper.
 After the act. however, Simmons let loose again. according to Delaney's story. simmons is a good deal taller than Delaney. and. in pusiustic par lance has quite a reach" but De- fancy. if short. is strong. so that when the first blow was passed.by Simmons. Delaney tucked. took Simmons in his arms and foored him. Then it was rough and tumble. and Mir Dashieli came upon the scene and took Simmons away.
 Miss Grace Hayward. leading wo- man of the company. lodged inforIna- ton with the authorities this morning that duplicates a number of the stage hands.

CAME FOR MONEY
Hrs. Renna Came From Italy to Look
 After Lax Husband.

All the way from Naples Italy, Mrs Vincenvia Renna came to know why her husband Eugenio had cut off her monthly allowance. Three weeks ago she arrived in Waterbury and only quite recently found out her husbands abiding place. Last evening she mad him arrested for nonsupport ana It was expected that the opening chapters of romance would be disclosed in the city court today But to suit Attor. ney Bauby. counsel for Renna. the case was put over to Monday.
 About fifteen years ago the Rennas were married in Naples. They got along fairly well but Eugenio became ambitious and he came to this coun- try about fifteen years ago leaving his wife and their children in possession of a restaurant business which he established shortly after marrying.
 Three years later Renna went back to Italy and brought over his children leaving his wife and the restaurant in prosperity. His idea was to make money at both ends. she at her restaurant in Naples and he at his business here. Still the defense claims Renna sent monthly sums to his wife to save up. The defense will claim that every month since the first parting ten years ago in Naples. Renna sent his wife money and they claim they are able to produce the certificate of the money orders.
 About year or two ago. it Is claimed. Renna ascertained through a friend in Naples that his wife had be- come a disorderly person. whereupon he stopped sending her money. His counsel will claim that she sold out the restaurant and her household goods and became rather indifferent in her conduct
 Rennas friend in Naples kept him informed of his wife's doings and when she made Up her mind to come to America to ascertain what he was do- ing she wrote him to that effect. So watchful was the friend of the wo- mans movements that on the day she arrived in New York Renna received a letter that she was on the way to America and had probably landed aG New York by that time. This put Renna on his guard so that he was ready to receive her when she present ed herself to him a week ago
 Mrs Renna insists that her husband married the woman who is his house. keeper. a claim which is denied. The state has obtained a number of letters to prove all that the woman claims.
