PARKINSON APPOINTED.
Takes Place of Court Messenger Vii
 liam M. Gillette.

Before beginning the business o, the weekly short calendar in the dis trict court to-day Judge George H Cowell announced that he had ap. pointed Martin F. Parkinson to the vacancy of court messenger caused by the promotion of William M. Gillette to the clerkship.
 The announcement was not receiv. ed with surprise for it was generally accepted that MT Parkinson would be the choice as a form of compensation for the expense he incurred in the late election as republican candidate for the city sheriff Moreover he wal the only candidate for the position which pays about $700 year.
 The bar association then held g meeting and the committee appointed last week consisting of Attorneys Minor, Lewis and Carmody reported the following resolutions on tho death of the late clerk of the court Linford Fenn Root:
 Whereas, Linford Fenn Root, g member of this bar and for many years clerk of the district court o1 Waterbury, died on the 17th day o1 October, 1907, and
 Whereas, he has been known and highly esteemed by us as young man of courteous, kindly and com. panionable manner, and as an attor- ney-at-law and clerk of the district court has performed his duties faith. fully and conscientiously, therefore be it
 Resolved. that we deeply regret and hereby express our keen sense oi loss for his untimely death and ex. tend to his bereaved wife and other relatives our heartfelt sympathy, ant be it further
 Resolved, that a copy of these re solutions be transmitted to his fam. fly, and that they be spread upon tho records of this association"
 Attorneys Byrne, Lauber and Judgt Cowell spoke on the resolutions.
 MT Minor, chairman of the com. mittee read the resolutions and M Lewis acted as secretary of the meet ing, which position Mir Root had al ways filled.
 The resolutions were adopted and 7 copy will be sent to the widow as soon as possible.

GOVERNMENT MONEY.
Total Placed in Banks by Secretary Cortelyou May Reach $200, 100000.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 26.-When Secretary Cortelyou has concluded the placing of government money in na- tional banks to aid the financial furry in New York and elsewhere there will then be on deposit with these institu- tions something like 9O,O00,0OO of Uncle Sam's hard earned money, the largest sum ever outside the treasury in the history of the country. If the situation in New York continues to be disturbed, and additional amounts are placed with the banks, the total may reach $200, 100000, nearly enough to build the Panama canal, in fact more than was at first estimated as suffi- cient to construct the canal.
 The placing of such huge amounts of government money with national banks is coming to be regarded as an evil and dire predictions are made as to the day when the government may have to withdraw considerable DOT tion of this money. It must be re- membered that every cent of the mon- ey represents surplus, the accumula- tion of several years. Uncle Sam is getting in so much money that every year for some years he has had mil lions of money in his pockets when his balance sheet was struck at the end of the year. MT Cortelyou has now about loaned all of this money out to the banks and should another serious furry come he would have little cash on hand, above the amount necessary to keep for a working balance, to meet the exigencies.
 The deposits with the banks have been gradually increasing for years, the government failing to withdraw much of it, nearly always because the cry of scarce money prevented action. The time is coming, it is predicted, when it will be almost impossible to take much of this money away from banks, even in dull seasons, without the cry going up that the govern ment was pulling money out of circu- lation. All the time the banks are getting the use of the money without paying one cent of interest. They are compelled to do nothing but buy or borrow bonds sufficient to insure the government against loss.
 Prominent financiers say that the time will come when the government will begin to need the money with the banks and then there will be danger in withdrawing it. In case of a war with a foreign country. for instance, with immediate demands for large sums of money. the situation would be embarrassing for the government to be compelled to withdraw millions. The business world would miss the money just that much and a check would follow in prosperous conditions. The same thing is possible should the government receipts begin to fall off. :. as they did several years ago. leaving the expenditures greater than the re- ceipts and deficit in the working balance instead of a surplus. The banks would then have to give up their deposits. or portions of them, thereby curtailing the funds in busi- ness channels.

TERRYVILLE GIRL GONE.
Thought She Has Run Away With
 Workman.

Terryville. Oct. 26.-William N Dennison is hunting for his daughter Ida. She is fifteen years old, was en- ployed at the factory and disappeared Thursday noon. After having dinner at home she did not return to the shop but took the 1 o'clock trolley for Bristol. She was seen later in con- pany with Joseph Farnett, a tenn porary workman here, bound in tho direction of Hartford. Dennison be- came aware of his daughters depart ure soon after noon and began an in- vestigation.
 He discovered that she had Jeff with her best clothes which were con- cealed probably under her working dress. A few articles of hers were missing and they were contained probably in a package which she was seen to carry with her. Grand Juror Hinman was notified and every effort is being made to locate the girl.

PRETTYROMANCE
C0urtship of Tweniy. One Years Culminafes In a RapIy
 Marriage
FATHERS NVALIDS

New York, Oct. 26-When the Rev James J. Byrnes, rector of St. Pat rick's church at Richmond, N. Y, to- morrow night pronounces the words that will make John Seaver and Mar garet NJ. Pfaff husband and wife a courtship that has endured for twenty one years will be brought to a happy conclusion.
 Neighbors and friends, all of whom are thoroughly converSant with the charming romance, knew the couple were to be married some day. That was settled long ago. Behind the dain- ty love story is double example of self sacrifice and parental devotion which is really inspiring.
 Seaver is one of the most popular men in the borough of Richmond. He served one term as coroner and has held many other responsible public po- sitions. At the present time he is con- nected with the bureau of highways He is about forty-five years old and lives in Clark avenue in the village of Richmond
 His next door neighbor is Miss Pfaff. She is a handsome woman still in the thirties A wealth of raven hair lus- trous brown eyes and perfect teeth are her most striking features. Two dec ades have come and gone since MT. Seaver and Miss Pfaff began keeping company. The fellows and girls who were members of their social set at that time have grown families now.
 But Seaver and his sweetheart put the care of their invalid fathers above their own happiness. That's the reason the nuptials have been delayed. There was no lovers quarrel like in most cases where the courtship period is un- duly extended The elder Seaver died about five months ago at the age of eighty-six. Miss Pfaff's father passed away a few weeks ago at the age of seventy-fve. Each left considerable money. and the patient pair will have enough for all purposes.
 The wedding in the little parsonage on the hill is to be simple affair none but the immediate families hay ing been invited. There will be no wedding celebration. At the conclu- sion of the ceremony Mir. and Mrs. sea~er will beg'T house keeping in I pretty little cottage which the brides father had built for her. The recent bereavements precluded any possibility of public wedding, and every attempt has been made to keep the affair a secret,

NO THIRD TERM
President Roosevelt Will Soon Issue an Ullimasum to That
 Effect
WELL FAVOR TAFT

Washington, Oct. 26.-There were indications at the White House yes- terday that President Roosevelt was beginning to abandon his reticence lregarding the third term movement and was willing to relieve to a limit ed degree the anxiety of the friends of other candidates. One of the indi- cations was that after Senator Long of Kansas had talk with MT Roose- welt yesterday morning he announced that his state was for Taft and would send solid instructed delegation for him to the next national convention. Another indication was that Repre- sentative Kennedy of Ohio, who was sent to congress from the old McKin- ley district, came out of the presl- dents office shouting for Taft and proclaiming that the country was wild for him.
 The significance of Senator Longs
 statement is found in two circum- stances. Governor Hoch of Kansas
 made the assertion here that Kansas was for President Roosevelt for a third term and would run roughshod
 over any obstacle put in the way of his nomination. There was a little exasgeration probably about the gov- ernor's announcement, but MT Long was aware that it had some grains of truth in it. Mr Long is a discreet poli- tician and it is very apparent that he
 would not have so emphatically repud- lated the statement of Governor HOch if he had not been confident that Mir Roosevelt would not accept an- other nomination.
 But beyond all this it is note- worthy that since the presidents re- turn to Washington on Wednesday there has been q feeling of confidence among prominent republicans here that MT Roosevelt would adhere to the promise which he gave to. the country on the night of election in November, 1904, that he would not again be a candidate for the office which he now holds. It is intimated very broadly that the president may soon set at rest all doubt as to whether he will adhere to that promise, and coupled to this is the equally broad intimation that he would repeat his election night an- nouncement in terms just as em-. phatic and unequivocal.

REMARKABLE RECORD
Three Persons Killed and Several Injured in a Rear End Co.,
 Iision in London.

London, Oct 26.-Three persons were killed and a dozen were injured to-day in rear-end collision at the West Hampstead station of the Metropoli- tan Underground railroad. The rear train ran by the signals in fog and crashed into a train standing at the station.
 This is the first accident of the kind since London lines were electrified, when a system of electric signalling was installed, which the company said would absolutely preclude the possi- bility of such an accident.
 The Metropolitan has had a remark able record of immunity from fatali- ties. This is said to be the first ac- cident resulting in the death of pas senger although 30O,OO0,O0O,000 peo- ple have been carried since the open ing of the road.

CATHOLICS ACCUSE JUDGE.
AIIese That Wilfley of Shanghai Has
 Injured Their Feelings.

Washington, Oct 26. Lorrin An drews of Shanghai. former attorney general of the Hawaiian Islands, is in America and on his way to Washing ton on a mission that greatly interests many Roman Catholics in China.
 Some months ago President Roose- welt received from Shanghai cable gram saying. Catholics ill meeting protest as outrage Wil1ey's official de- nunciation." This didn't convey much light, and the consular department was asked about it. Then information came that l.. R. Wilfey. judge of the United States court for China at Shanghai, had said things in announcing deci- sions that greatly annoyed the Ameri- can. European and native Catholics of China. It was added that Lorrin An drews was on his way to Washington to present the petition of the Catho- lies asking that a more conservative man be put in his place.
 The petition which Mir. Andrews is bringing to Washington has an extract from a decision in a probate case wherein Judge Wilfley discusses Cath olic church matters. The papers ac- companying the petition allege that not only has Judge Wilhey in official decisions condemned the Catholic cler- gy as the 'popish clergy. guilty of rob ping the poor. the widows and orphans under the name of the church." but also that he spent years in the Philip pines endeavoring to confiscate prop erty of the church, presided at a meet ing in China where a minister de nOunced the church. airs his disap- provaI of the doctrine of transubstan- tiatiOn in public and has otherwise in jured the feelings of Catholics.
