 Ansonia, Sept. 11.--As result of R. c. Miller's address The Second Emancipation" delivered before large audience at the local M. E. church Thursday evening twenty-five citizens of this city signed a petition which they presented to Mayor Stephen Charters to-day asking that the question of license or no license be included in the call for the cleo tors meeting in November, The ad- dience that the petition was circulated and this morning the required number of names were secured. This is the first step in the no-license crusade in this city and now that 1t has opened it's promoters will keep the question before the public at all times T'he movement for no license has been on foot in Derby and shelton for some time past and petitions have been cir cllated in both places. The people in those two towns felt jubilant to-day when they heard of the success of MT. Miller's stirring address for they know that not much of gain would be realized even if their places went no license and Ansonia did not, in No- vember, as this city would be so near that these addicted to the habit of us- ing the liquors could easily came here and secure all they wanted The time for such a movement Is the present, and those who are working diligently among the voters say they are meet ing with great success and feel confi- dent that if not victorious in closing the saloons this year they will do so two years hence.

Tho Attentions Of the stores Umbrella
Man Not for Carriage People Only.
The common idea Of the umbrella man

riage customers and shelter them, and
such no doubt IL the primary purpose OF
his employment, but mat least one case he
extends his services TO include customers
who depart by trolley car. =.
1t IL TO be supposed that II his duty seemed
divided betweensa customer leaving the
store for her carriage and one leaving 1t
ut the same time for q trolley car his uT--
brella would be held over the carriage rider.
but whenever opportunity offers he affords
the woman bound for q car the same shelter.

tracks TO take O oar on the other aide.
Sometimes women leaving this store
to take a car on q rainy day hurry, not
knowing the protection that awaits them;
but II they hurry the umbrella man hurries
with them, 30 that they soon realize his
presence and that Of his protecting UNI
brella. 1t seems proper 70 add that, his
bearing, toward the car customers whom
he thus escorts L. precisely the same as his
bearing, toward the carriage customers; he
Is equally ready In service and polite IN

MORE WOMEN USE CABS.
Cheaper Cab Fares One Cause, Desrel
Frecks Another.

Frecks Another.
Probably more women In New York use
cabs now than ever before. this being due
In some measure to the present day cheaper
cab fares. but still more perhaps to the now
greater than ever costliness Of women's
apparel, which prompts a woman caught
out In n shower to pay 80 cents or a dollar or
30 for q cab rather than take the chance Of
damaging an expensive garment.
Naturally the cabman. who 1t might be
mentioned is not dull about anything. Is
quite alert to this increased readiness Of
women to hire cabs. and he Is far from slow
In taking advantage OF It. Unlike the far
/, mer, the cabman reops in rainy weather;
and his best harvests he gathers in those
heavy showers that come up unexpectedly
on clear days and promise when they once
get started to continue In a settled rain.
In these circumstances. from wherever he
is II idle the cabman starts for the ladies.
and he knows just where to find them.
Here. for instance. is q shopping store
over whose front entrance Is q great glass
awning extending to the curb: a big awning
with room enough for scores Of people
under 1t. and this space is now pretty we'll
occupied by won en- In fine clothes who had
COm0 Out uiiu oii6ht pnfVo w hhu tbCiIl-
selves now on emerging from the store
caught In q steady hard shower.
There are fifty women here perhaps, In
all sorts Of glad garments. waiting for this
shower to clear up or for other relief; and
that other relief In the shape Of cabs has
already begun to come.
Across the street Is q great hotel with
many cabs about, but M comes from
there, for they all are or will be wanted by
the hotel. From other directions other car
riaEes begin to come, private b~roughams
and coup3s for their owners and public
cabs, hansoms and taxicabs, these last In
numbers. their drivers hiking straight
for the big glass awning from under which.
as they know by experience. Il will be o
cinch to snap up q fare.
Up sweeps O taxi or hanson, coming with
a rush through the rain, and UP as he halts
goes the cabman's finger for about one
second, which Ii quite enough. and out from
the throng comes q woman who steps into
the cab. and the carriage man on the side
walk slams the door and away sails the cab.
everything on the jump.
So the cabs come n 20, svooping down
from both directions till they've captured
and carried Oh about ~three-quartsrs OF the
women. Good business for the cabman.
But then things calm down q little and
presently when the cabs come UP together.
they fight for q single CUSTOMER.

Elkins Won't Stop Marriage to Duke

e%quivocal.
Senator Elkins is said to have given
the matter careful thought and de-
cided that on account of the dukes
high position, the young women would
soon force merited recognition.
Queen Helena is one Of the most
uncompromising enemies Of the mar
riage. Her majesty, a princess OF
Montenegro, seems anxious to show
her devotion to the dignity Of the
house of Savoy, which her own mar
rage imperiled, as disappointed match

Save among Republicans and So

cording to a dispatch, reflects, dis
tortedly, the royal opposition. The
Italians are angry because the Ameri-
cans, instead of loudly rejoicing that
Miss Elkins was to marry into the
royal house, have taken an unenthusi-
astic attitude toward the love affair.

most two the size Of Gen. Funston.
The officers all came back the same
day. This much was expected when
the ambulance drove into the post
empty about 1920 a. m. There were
eager inquiries concerning the where
abouts of the officers, and the driver,
waving an arm, said: "Oh, there or
thereabouts. We vas in a hurry, SO
we walked back"
Undoubtedly the 40 were tout there
somewhere but they were a long
time crossing the finish line.
Everybody was in good spirits at
the finish or said he a There was
little doubt about Gen. Grant. He was
as hard as nails to start with, having
done some 800 miles of saddle work
this season.
There was a corps Of surgeons In

turned prodigals. A minute examina-
ton was made of all the victims, and
the results, comprising pulse, temper
ature. weight and respiration, were all
tabulated.

e ENATOR ELKINS will not oppose
- the marriage of his daughter kath-
crime to the duke of the Abruzzi after
all. The wedding probably will be
,solemnized in November.
If the duke were as sure of this as
is Washington society, he would be
spared a lot of worry. AS a matter of
fact. the duke is about to start for
Washington, fearing all the while that
the senator will withdraw his consent
to the marriage on account of Queen
Helena's ~unrelenting opposition.
The duke fears Senator Elkins will
play the part of a high spirited Ameri-
can and endeavor to prevent the mar
rage, fearing that with the Italian
