THURSDAY, JUNE IS. 1907.
A DOG TALE

The proposed dog law. which IS on It's way through the Connecticut legislature, appeals to us as being most excellent measure Among other things 1t pro- vides for registration and tagging, which are sufficient. It requires the town clerk of each town to send to the selectmen before June of each year list of all who have registered dogs, and then re- uuires the selectmen to search for unreg- istered dogs by the dog warden, whom every town is required to appoint, and that sufficient provision Is made for the compensation of injuries caused by dogs, and for the destruction of dogs which kill animals or attack human beings. Ii this bill becomes law, it will bring order into matter which specially needs attention in view of the recent prevalence of rabies, and the certainty that danger from that source is not yet over. A law very similar is in force in New York state, where thousands of sheep are killed annually by dogs, and it is working nice ly. Under it's provisions hundreds of worthless CUTS that have no owners, or whose owners decline to pay the tax, have been put out of existence. The tax provides fund to pay for sheep killed by dogs and the numbered tag serves to indentify the owner of the dog caught killing sheep The sheep owner is thus enabled to recover damages from the dog owner, if the said owner is finan- cially responsible, instead of appealing to the town for compensation to be made from the dog fund. Several dogs have been shot while in the act of destroying sheep and the tags taken to the town clerk, where owners names are enrolled opposite the tag number. Denial of own ership is thus impossible and it places the responsibility for the depreciation just where it belongs. If it is a good law for New York, it will Joe equally good for Connecticut.

Meat prices have been advanced one to three cents per pound. And the butchers, who are compelled to pay whatever price the trust sees fit to name, are the ones who will be the greatest sufferers just at this season when garden truck is coming on, when eggs are plentiful and when it is possible to ob- tain various other substitutes for meat. An excellent opportunity is offered to people who desire to become vegetarians and they will take advantage of it.

The church was tastefully decorated and the child ren excelled themselves in song and rec itation which must have specially grati- fled the training committee, Mrs. Stevens and Miss O.

 The State Road.
 Work on the piece of Church street state road extending from the Methodist church to the residence of Wallace w. Burghardt, a distance of 2200 feet, was commenced early this week. The first work to be done is the establishing of the sub-grade. This necessitates both exca- vating and filling in and it will require drawing in about 500 loads of material in addition to the 600 which will be re- moved when the high places in the road are scraped down. In some instances filling in to the depth of two or three feet will be required. About 800 tons of stone will be used. The surface of the road, when completed, will be gravel, of which it is estimated 400 loads will be required. The plans for the road were made by w. w. Burghardt. Just when the work will be completed is not known, as it is the desire of those in charge to let the road construction and the installation of the sewer pipes take

IN The PARTISAN THEATERS
The Audience Is Better Worth
Watching Than the Stage.
Men Favored for Front Seats Be

II IS not the play. the acting, OF the
applause that attracts and holds the at
tenrion Of the American who is attend
ing for the first time a Partisan opening,
says Leslie's Weekly Il is the audience.
In the first place, the predominance Of
men in the best orchestra seats viii pro-
woke a question which brings forth the
information that in the majority Of the
better class theaters IN Paris the first
three rows OF the ORCHESTRA are sold al
most exclusively 70 men, and, as far as
il is possible. the box Office favors men
for the body Of house, principally because
they do not wear hats, and do not there
fore obstruct the view Of those sitting
behind
Before the curtain goes up the stranger
glances about and IS surprised 10 DIS
corer jewels and gowns decoIlete in the
highest balconies. the part Of the theater
known in America as peanut heaven.
Both men and women dressed as for a
grand ball are perched away up at least
three flights Of stairs. and during the
entire acts they come down and prom
enade with the others and visit their
friends. and few are the wiser as 10 the
location Of their seats. The very fact of
being present al an important opening is
enough 10 give certain social prece-
dence. even though they sat on the raft
ers or chung 20 the chandeliers
Another feature which attracts the
American is that during the entire acts
the men who do not join the promenade
stand up and don their hats the moment
the curtain Is down. and they spend the
entire twenty or twenty-five minutes IN
specting their neighbcrs through opera
glasses. There Is much activity In the
balconies and in the boxes, caused by the
social calls which are being exchanged
In the orchestra rows and family circles
the men and women stand up and opera
glasses are used freely by both. and many
little hirtations are enjoyed between those
in the balconies or loges and those on the
first Eoor
II Is not considered rude TO level glasses
at anyone. whether within few feet or
up in the balcony. but IL Is rather con
sidered compliment 10 the face. or more
often the shoulder. that attracts such
close inspection. Il is true that the
French are famed for their polished man
ner. bat il is equally true that In the
eyes Of an American. the toughest cow
boy possesses a better appreciation Of re-
finement than the dapperest member OF
the French nobility. and especially is this
noticeable in a tbeater.
