WOMAN AND FASHION
Am Attractive Waist.

The pretty and attractive blouse
waist that is simple at the same. time
makes one of the most necessary efe-
ments in any woman's wardrobe. i 1t is
a bit more dressy than the severe tai
1ored shirt waist, yet is not quite SO
dainty as the one in lingerie style,
made either of lawn or fine silk, and is
altogether useful as well as thoroughly

The loss of the two sworn jurors
was offset before the luncheon recess
was ordered by the selection of two
new men, leaving but one vacant chair
in the trial panel to be filed. The
new jurors are Oscar A. Pink, a sales
man, who replaced Mr.. Walker as No.
4, and Wilbur S. Steele, a manufac-
turer, who succeeded Haas as juror
No. g. Both new men are married,
Mr.. Pink being about forty-six years
of age and Mr.. Steele sixty.
When the two jurors were dismissed
Justice Fitzgerald ordered that an
other new panel of talesmen should
be summoned, but the rapidity with
which the places made vacant were
filled indicated. that the Jury may be
completed from the panel of 100 men
which was in court during the morn

Every member of the Thaw family
was present in anticipation of the
completion of the jury and Of the
opening of the prosecutions case.

New York, Feb. Another sensa-
ton was sprung in the Thaw murder
trial during the day when two more
Jurors were summarily excused by the
court from further service in the case.
No reason for the action was stated in
court. The simple announcement by
District Attorney Jerome was to the
effect that counsel for the state and
counsel for the defense had agreed at
a conference to dismiss jurors No.
and 9. They were David B. Walker,
son of John Brisben Walker, and
Louis Haas, both unmarried. 1t was
reported that the defense did not
readily consent to the release of
Walker and Haas, but Mr.. Jerome was
insistent and finally won Thaw's at
torneys over.

SHORT CALENDAR
Apothecarles Hall Case the Only
 One Brought Up.

The divorce mill in the superior court did not operate to-day nor did Judge Gager hand down any decisions in the few cases he has been consid- erlng. Short calendar was short in practice as we'll as in name. there be- Ing only few motions of a minor kcharacter on it and none of them were argued. One of them concerned the
 ptention among the stock holders in NJ Apothecaries Hall company over itl.e disposition of the much talked of 400 shares of stock which was origin ally owned by A. B. Rice. grandfather of the present A. E. Rice.
 He left the stock in trust for his widow upon whose death he decided it should be divided in equal portions among his children. Mrs Ella $. Will Hams wished to have the stock sold in block and A. E.. Rice and his mother, Mrs Helen Rice, offered $100,000 for it. The probate court, however, Ge- cided the stock should not be sold and from that decision Mrs Williams took an appeal to the superior court.
 The motion on short calendar to-day was to have the appeal made more specific and by consent of counsel it was granted and two weeks allowed in which to comply with the order.

OLD RESIDENT HERE
W. \. SceyiIl Talked About Old
 Times in Waterbury.

W. H. Scovlll of Hudson. N. r., was in Waterbury to-day and spent T few hours sightseeing about town. Mr Scovill Is nephew of J. NJ. l.. Scovill, founder of the Scoyill Manu- featuring company, and was born on North Main street, near the place where Thomas Kelly now sells ice cream and other things in that line. Mir Scovill's knowledge of Waterbury goes back to the days of the stage coach and he can tell interesting "reminiscences of the time when the boys thought they were long distance from home when they made trip as far as Cheshire in one of these vehicles He failed to notice familiar face on the streets and recollecting that Captain Ramon was holding down the desk at the police station he went over there and both had pleas ant half hour chat about Waterbury of ye olden time. They counted every house that stood in the immediate vicinity of the center nifty years ago, talked of the school houses where they cut up all kinds of capers, and dis cussed the merits-not word was said about demerits-of the teachers that wielded the rod in their, day.
 When Mir Scovill lived here it was nothing more than an ordinary country town, but now. it is pretty nice sized city and has taken on such a complete change that he wouldn't recognize it at all. MT .Scovill has very reten- tive memory, butmot one whit more so than Captain Ramon and between them they talked enough of old tune Waterbury to furnish material for an interesting book.
 People who came here recently as well as those who were born in Water bury and always lived here don't pay any particular attention 10 what is go- ing on about them, but one who knew the place half a century or more ago and has not kept in touch with its rapid growth, wonders where he is at, especially when he gets into the out skirts, where he used to go fishing and bird nesting and finds that the woods have disappeared, the streams made to run underground and the whole territory covered with man. moth manufacturing concerns and handsome private residences.

There was no lack of funds so far as the committee knows.

ASSIGNMENT OF JUDGES.
Bar Association Have Made Request For Extra Session.

The assignment of the judges of the superior court from the fall term will be made next Monday and. at bar meeting to-day Attorney John O'Neill informed Judge Gager that the Bar association had voted unani- mously to request the presence of a judge here in October and January with the expectation that the lawyers will have about six weeks or more in court over the usual terms.
 Judge Gager said he appreciated the situation and would do all he could to accommodate the lawyers. He referred the difficulty of judge of the superior court being able to hold court in two or more different places at the same time, and that evidently the legislature expected that gift in them, as that body does not intend to increase their number.

A new departure in college and
university work in the United States
is the provision made within the last
few years for instruction in educa-
ton. This has come in response to
two demands. The first was a demand
for instruction in the history, philoso-
ply and psychology of education as a
means of bringing university students
into touch with one of the great en-
terprises of society-the instruction
of the yound. The second was a de-
mand for an effective. training for
of teaching in the high schools and
colleges of the country. AS a result
of these demands many of the lead
ing universities and colleges of the
United States have established de-
partments or faculties of education
A further departure and one in
which the University of Colorado
stands with a very small minority of
the institutions of higher learning in
the country, is exemplified by an
agreement recently made with the
board of education of the city of
Boulder whereby the teachers in
training do observation and practice
work in the city schools. This work
will, in future. occupy from three to
five hours a week throughout at least
one year. and thus the young man or
woman who goes from the university
into the school room will possess a

LET THE WORLD KNOW
"UNDER THE TURQ0ISE SKY"

Denver, Colo, April 1s.-one week
ago the Committee of One Hundred
decided on its plan of campaign to
raise 100000 for the purpose of ad-
yertising Colorado. In seven days
SIT 1000 has been secured, and pledges
in sight mean the passing of the s2O,-
900 mark by the end of the week.
This result, achieved before even
the real canvass is commenced, is
most encouraging. The city of Den
yer will contribute $4,000 to the fund,
while citizens and commercial bodies
will subscribe handsomely, the Den
yer Real Estate Exchange alone hav-
ing pledged minimum of $4,000. The
individual canvass in Denver will be-
gin Monday morning.
Over the state the same enthusiasm
is manifest. Boulder, Fort Collins
Greeley, as we'll as the counties in the
northeastern part of the state, have
either made, or are preparing to make
large contributions. Colorado Springs
and Pueblo, as well as the cities and
towns on the western slope, have eX-
pressed the intention of swelling the
fund very substantially. In fact, ev-
cry section of the state has been COM
municated with, and will aid in the
work.
County commissioners, as well as
the councils of every city and town
have also been asked to aid in the
movement, and within a short time a
representative of the Committee of

all interested the plans which will
