A curious feature OF the Republican
national campaign occurs in the nth
Ohio district which was one of the
last districts In the country to elect
delegates TO Chicago. After Taft OF
Ohio had swept the country and his
nomination was conceded by all OBJ
servers, the 18th Ohio district elected
anti Taft delegates. The politicians
of that district cannot be accused OF
leaping for the band wagon.

GOOD FISHING IN THE lAMolLlE
Efforts Made to Prevent the "Hook-
ing Up" Process In That Stream

Milton. May Is. Fishing has been
excellent in the lower Lamoille river
during the past few days and large
catches have been made among which
the forty-fve pike taken by s. b.
Howard Of Westford, is one OF the
largest. The practice of hooking up"
which has been practiced largely for
many years, Is now declared illegal
and not as much is done as in the
past, but still enough to keep fish
wardens busy while the fish are run
ming up the river.
Only two arrests have been made as
yet, Horatio Lamphere is reported
as getting the better of the officer and
having his fare paid back to Milton,
and Willie Beeman is reported as
paying $40 for the fifteen pike he
caught recently by the hooking up
process.

The Ashes Of Grlee.

An urn containing the ashes OF Ed
ward Grieg has been permanently
placed In a natural grotto, situated in
a cliff at Troldhaugen. near bergen.
The grotto can only be reached from
the water side, as the rocks at this
point jut down straight into the ford.
After the urn has been placed In posi-
ton, the grotto is to be hermetically
sealed and marked up by a marble
tablet Steps are also being taken for
the erection of monument to Grieg,

AFTER THE CLUBS
Nan Representing Knights Tem.
 plars Bsre Investigating.

At a meeting of Oscar II lodge. No 50, Independent Order of Good Templars, held Saturday night, Hugo Cederholm was appointed to take steps to see that the liquor license law is enforced in Waterbury. The lodge proposes to go after clubs, speak easies and other places where liquors are said to be sold contrary to law.
 MT Coderholm presented himself in the office of Clerk Marsh of the superior court this morning and asked to be shown the list of the names of the clubs in Waterbury. He was told there was no such list In the office but that he might ind 1t at the town clerks office. He said he had been there and was told there was no such list in existence that they knew of in that depart~ ment. He was informed by MT Marsh that probably he might find such [ list in the office of the state secre- tary in Hartford. He then asked if he could see the list of the names of the licensed saloon keepers in town and he was told as before that there was no such information to be had at that office but possibly he might get it at the office of the superior court in New Haven.
 In talking about his visit MT Ced- erholm said that 1t is the purpose of the local lodge of Knights Templars to see that the law relating to clubs and the sale of intoxicants is adher- ed to. It was his opinion, he said, that there are clubs in this town which have neither >licenses nor charter and exist only one day in the week, Sunday. He said that such clubs are illegal because they are not incorporated and. that they have no respect for the liquor laws. What he was going to do in the mat ter he did not care to state.

LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS

 Given to Charitable Societies.
 New York, Dec 7.-Children who send letters to Santa Claus and drop them in the letter boxes for delivery by the postal authorities are not likely to hear anything from their missives, for there has been an order received from the post office depart ment that mail addressed to a myth ical person shall be sent to the Dead Letter office in Washington and burned.
 The post office officials here be- lieve there will be no permission granted this year to give the letters to organizations, so that the writers may be remembered during the holi- day season, because up to date no such order has been forthcoming.
 Last year the order came about December l and before the holiday had passed great deal of trouble resulted over the disposition of the letters. It may be that the trouble of year ago has had something to do with the Don-issuance of the or der this year.
 The advance guard of letters of this nature Is beginning to arrive. and as the large stores begin to dis. play their Christmas goods this num- Der will be increased until it makes quite volume in the days mail.

Circlng the field once the navigator
turned his machine in the direction of
Rheims. Soaring over the tops of trees,
it quickly disappeared from the view Of
the delighted spectators. An hour later
q telegram was received from Farman
announcing his safe arrival at Rheims.
The time Of fight was twenty min

height reached was between l2U aad

was a strong wind behind the craft, it
interfered with the working OF the
motor, but that the steering was easy.
