FAIR HAVEN NOTES.

Cnapel street, corner or LIoyu street, to-day. This sub-station will prove convenient for many people who do not wish to go clear up to station A. Some months ago there was petition in circulation for sub-station in AL derman R. B. Healys drug store on Ferry street, near the corner of Front street. but it was turned down. There 1 is a large population in that nelghDor- hood, and doubtless the time will come when there will be a substation in that vicinity, for the new sub-station on the corner of Lloyd street is three blocks away.
 Mrs Morris Finmark, of 16O Front street, who has been at the New Ha-
 ven hospital three weeks, where an operation for appendicitis was perform ed, is not progressing toward recovery very satisfactorily, and another opera
 ton will probably be necessary within
 few days, She is now quite weak and will have to recuperate before the operation can be performed.
 John A Mclaughlin, clerk at station
 A, was a delegate at Middletown Tues day to the state council of the Knights
 of Columbus. Many local members of
 the order are interested in the matter l of a lower rate of assessment for the older members but the supreme ofil-
 cers do not regard any lowering of the rate as feasible They say that the
 rate is now on a good workable basis,
 is safe and correct, and that while it
 may be difficult for some of the older
 members to meet their dues, it would
 be unwise to lower the assessments, if
 safe insurance is to be furnished There
 are many members of the order in Far 1 Haven. Loyal council has a large membership and many belong to other
 councils in the city.
 The men of the East Pearl Street M. F. church served supper in the church

 beef, lobster salad, cabbage salad,
 mashed potatoes, two kinds of bread,
 olives, tea, coffee and ice cream It
 was the universal opinion that they
 served a fine supper, It is now about
