If Mir Sewell means business. residents of Sinons- vile will have the service by October People in that part of the town should make note of this and see how near the manager came to getting it right.

 at Capitol.


 at Capitol.
 Hartford. Aug 1j.-The season for visitors at the capitol is now at its height and every time little child is held up to the visitors register to write name and address the capitol cleaners smile. For a good many years pens and ink were furnished for tlis purpose and the number of visitors who registered was estimated by tie dis stance that the ink spJts r'ics.d on he riaIh'e floor. It used to keep tiIe cleaners ,.sy wiping up tine spots and it was thought that since the custom was inaugurated something like bar rel of ink had been dashed on the marble. Now. a strong chain holds a lead pencil and there are fewer -four ishes on the book. less fanciful names and fewer addresses. Formerly. bttl, boys from Thompsonville would put themselves down as from French lick. Ind. or Dawson City. There Is hui little false registering now and most of the children give their correct addresses.
 One of the capitol officials found re- gently that young couple had code that they worked on the register. When the young woman visited the building in the morning she would reg Ister as Grace Simpkins. City. if she wished the young man to call in the evening. and if the time was not suspicious and 'mommer would like Iv he at home she would put herself down as Julia I.avigne. Hackensacs. x l." When her admirer got to the capitol on his way from work the name on the book showed him how the land lay.
