Before There Were Naval Uniforms.

A little prior to the Revolutionary
war, says the Newport Bluejacket.
there was no such thing as naval
uniform. The officers wore civilian
clothes or some sort of an adaptation
of an army uniform as suited their
fancies, and the men dressed any how.

cue,. or pigtail, and with lovelock
or two struggling down either side of
the face. The sailor seems always to
have been given to wide trousers, ex-
perience having taught him that his
neither garments must be so construct
ed that they could be easily rolled
above the knees when washing down
decks. Sometimes the old time sailor
did not wear trousers at all, but a
sort of kilt like Il highlander's. Look
at any old print showing man-o'
wars crew as late as 1918 and see
what a motley lot of garments are
shown on the men. Some of them
even wore stovepipe hats upon their
heads.

His name is Obadiah Brown.
He says the town does not improve,
But runs along its ancient groove,
He'd like to see it spread and grow,
And yet he does not help, you know.
Instead of buying things for sale
Right here in town, he's sent by mai.
For many years and bought his things
From those faroff Mail Order kings.
No wonder, Obadiah Brown,
This home OF yours is ShopIess Town!

WANT OPEN GAME
SEASON REDUCED
BroRTsMEN DESIRE SEVERAL
CHANGES IN THE STATE
GAME LAWS.

a movement Is on foot in Atlanta
amd other sections of the state to
have a bill introduced in the next
legislature shortening the open hunt
Nag season by opening 1t Nov. Is in
stead OF Nov /, as at present, and
closing it Feb IS instead of March
!. Local sportsment seem to gener-
any favor the movement.
The department of agriculture has
Seen investigating the feasibility OF
introducing the Chinese pheasant in
ase state, but under present condi-
ions The officials fear It would be OF
little use TO stock the woods as the
birds would be killed out before they
Rad Increased to any number.
Hunting Is not considered good by
many hunters until after the first
srosts which kill the weeds and the
opening OF the season a few weeks
gater than at present would readily
make little difference with them.
Efforts are also being made to
have laws enacted prohibiting the
sale OF partridges under any condl-
Son and also importing a tax upon
all hunters. Local sportsmen gener-
clIy favor both of these propositions
and believe they would go far to pre-
won't the determination OF the part

threatened. The movement was de-
1orred when the legislature met dur
ng the last year because Of matters
Of more Importance. but Georgia

Manager Poli announces another one of those tip-top bills for his play house next week. The Seventeen Human Flags" the former Frank D.. Bryan aggregation of patriotic young ladies who form the flag, will be the headliner.
 Another announcement of more than usual interest is that of the com ing of Miss Bertha Waltzinger, well known in musical circles of this city as former New Haven girl, who has won her way in the theatrical world. She is known as the comic opera prima donna, and has been with De Wolf Hopper, Jeff DeRngelis, Man darm and the Florodora companies. Miss Waltzinger will render several high4class selections as we'll as the latest popular songs in German She has always been great local favor ite.

TELEPHONE SERVICE IMPROVED
Result of Storm Being Overcome in Nearby Towns.

The Southern New England Tele- phone company is just beginning 10 re- cover from the material damage done to it's lines in Saturday nights electric st Irin and several places in the Hart ford d.viyion are yet without telephone service. Conditions are the worst just now in East Hartford where the light ming got into the cables and to some extent into the instruments. In two instances the instruments were knocked
 from the walls by the shock of the lightning bolts, but in the whole di- vision there was not one instance of fire being started from the telephone wires.
 The damage in Pennington was greater than anywhere else in this sec- tion and was caused partly by the tell ephone and trolley wires getting crossed as well as by lightning getting into the cables. In one place in the Farnlington exchange 150 feet of cable were melted so that nothing remained except the hangers and the guide wire and there was not semblance of the cable left except a white streak on the ground where the molten lead had run. Tinemen have been working day and night to get the service in shape again, and now only nineteen circuits in Far mrgton are out of commission where, directly after the storm, every one of the eighty-three circuits in the ex- change was out of order. The damage to the company in the Hartford di- vision cannot be covered by $S0,00O.
 The Putnam division suffered com paratively more damage than did the Hartford, as the Putnam division is .46lalled and the storm was particular- k. severe there, and there were thirty five fires which played havoc with the wires,

 In speaking of the Maine type of rustlcs, MT. Bell says that he discov- cred the real article during his stay in Bluehill. This old fellow was the village oracle, who knew 1t all, and whose chief work was in Sizing up strangers as escaped burglars and convicts. One night last July the safe in the general store at Bluehill was blown open, and, the broken safe att tracted large crowd of curious visi- tors. At one time, when the store was packed with people, the village oracle wedged his way up to the safe and viewed It with a Sherlock Holmes manner, taking in a mental inventory of everything in and about the crack ed iron box. Finally he lit on the stub end of Q cigar; he picked it up and while gleam of superior knowl- edge lit up his rubicund face, he held up the isnipe," looked over the crowd quizzlcally. and in stentoriar voice asked; "Whe smucks7'

 large and enthusiastic audience welcomed "The Blackmailers of Now York in it's first performance of three nights engagement at the New Haven theater last evening. The play is the latest from the fertile pen of Hal Reid and, if possible, eel pses many of his previous efforts.
