MIR AND MRS II. w. BROWN ENTERTAIN.
Mr. and Mrs Fl. w. Brown invited a
few of their friends to the Carter
house on Sunday afternoon to 5
O'Clock tea and to meet there Miss
Grace Granniss and Fred Cook Of Ter
ryville, guests there OF the house.
Most of those invited gladly accepted
and we're most pleasingly entertained
The program commenced with an ad
dress by Mr. Cook, who recently made
q trip around the world, and in the
hour allotted him he could but briefly
describe many places visited, but
grouped his observations and impress
sions so. Interestingly that all regret
ted when he brought us back at the
end of six months voyage to New
York City again. At the close OF the
lecture, which was given on the We
randa Of the Annex cottage to the no.
tel, all were invited to the dining
room of the hotel proper, where a
table was spread with all the food va
rieties of the season, most desirable
and temptingly arranged. 1t is need
less to state that this part of the en-
tertainment was partaken of with
most appreciative relish, and after an
hour passed In this manner the veran-
da of the hotel was again found by the
guests, and Miss Louise Beeman, wish
ing to add to the pleasure of all, went
over and opened the west door of her
cottage and arranged her new Column
bia graphophone to render most fine
selection of Sacred hymn records she
had recently secured with the instru'
ment. The effect was most charming
and inspiring and seldom has the writ
or felt the power and sweetness of mu
sic as was experienced by this most
charming rendition. After this ex
ercise was over the guests reluctantly
babe Mr. and Mrs Brown, Miss Gran
Miss and Mr. Cook goodnight, feeling
that a very delightful and satisfactory
evening to mind and body had beer
passed by their kind invitation, al

Robert G.. Whittlesey received on

er, Mills, at Trenton, N. j., and he
went ION Monday of this week to at
tend the funeral obsequies. OF a fam
lily, 10 years ago, of five brothers and
a sister, all settled in different por-
tions of those United States, but this
one here remains to still bear the fam
lily name and only two had passed the
three score mark in age at their de-
cease.
Slowly the few remaining guests are
departing from Lake Waramaug and
one after another of the cottages
about the Lake are drawing their cur
tains for the last time this season and
seeking their winter homes. The ex-
ceptional warm weather of September
has undoubtedly kept more than the
usual number of cottages open, but
soon the appearance of vacancy will be
apparent on most of them.

Il. Doe, OF the municipal court, has de-
cided that Percy L. Ward, local agent for
the Jung Brewing company is not entitled
to recover the S312.20 found to be due him
from Edwin st. John, a candidate for
mayor Of Saltwater in 1904, for beer, wills
Ky and cigars, distributed gratuitiously
among qualified voters in order to induce
them TO vote for Mr.. ST. John. The court
found as fact that the two men partici-
pated knowingly and actively in the dis
tribution and that their conduct tended to
promote an illegal and immoral purpose.
In a memorandum Judge Doe says that
the beer, whisky and cigars so sold to Mr..
st. John were to be used to influence
voters there can be no question. None of
It was delivered to Mr.. st. John at his
nome or place of business, but was deliv-
cred at different times at different places
IN the city, and that so-called election beer
parties were held at such places. Both
men testified to such racts, and to the
agreement to furnish the articles, and
there was no dispute or denial of these
facts. The court ends with the statement
that in view of the evidence the contract
Was illegal and the court could not lend
its aid to enforce the payment Of the sum
demanded.

number of wagons Will be operated by
the stockmen this year. and everything
In the line of cattle and horses will be
rounded up in the territory directly
west of here. The incoming of thous-
ands of new settlers, who for months
have been occupying the entire region
through which the Chicago Milwaukee
and st. Paul and the Chicago and
Northwestern railroads are extending
their lines from the Missouri river to
the Black Hills, has sounded the death
l1nell of the cattle raising business over
a wide extent of country west of Fort
Pierre. Stockraisers are gradually be-
ing forced to abandon their old ranges
and retire'with their herds to the more
remote portion of western South Da-
kotu, where they for the time being at
least will be safe from the invasion
Of railroads and settlers. The stock
men will soon hold n meeting for the
purpose of determining upon the date
when the roundup will commence.
