81, by the state master, o. S. Wood,
the Hon. J. H. Hall of Glastonbury and
b. C. Patterson of ToFrington. Meet
ings are being held through the state
in support of the bill, which will give
independent telephone companies the
right to operate in the state. In the
Farmers Alliance the telephone bills
some fifteen in number, have had par
tial airing. In spite of the grievances
that have been brought to public at
tention in the state, particularly In
Glastonbury, where a great public pro-
test has been made, the Southern New
England Telephone company, Of which
the Hon. Morris F. Tyler of New Haven
is president, has given capital service
to the public. In the cities of the state
and in the big towns the, complaints
have been of a minor character Rep
resentative Smith of Hartford is the
manager of the company here and has
taken the utmost pains to give the city
and its tributaries the best service pos
sible.
Men who have served in the general
assembly usually find it interesting to
revisit the capitol. This is so with
Judge Morris B. Beardsley OF Bridge
port, whose son, Samuel Fayerweather
Beardsley, is a member of the govern
or's staff. Judge Beardsley, while q
member of the house some years ago,
rendered the state mastery service in
bringing about state prison reform. He
Was on the committee with Senator Z.
P. Jones of Greenwich, a noted and sue
cessful physician of that city. Senator
Root of Waterbury was also member
of the commission charged with inyes-
j tigating the management of the prison.
| When the Judges son, Colonel Boards
/ ley, graduated from Yale university
and the Law school, he began practice
| i'll Bridgeport with Judge Beardsley,
under the firm name of Beardsley and
Beardsley. The fact was Wittily spok-
en- of by the judge, who has been a
life long admirer and reader of Charles
F., Dickens, as recalling Domby & Son in
one of the great writer's novels. Judge
Beardsley enjoys his Hartford visits as
much as anything in his happy and in
teresting life. In a few months there
=, will be repetition Of the incident of
Beards1ey and Beardsley in Hartford.

i Senator William E. Atwood of New

of the Mechanics National bank Of that

by the loss of his wife by death. His
