TO MANUFACTURE BEER.
Liquor Dealers May Start a Brewery
 in Hartford.

New Haven, Oct 27.-Plans are be- ing made by the Retail Liquor Deal CTS association of Connecticut to manufacture their own beer, and an opinion Is now held by the associa- tion to buy a brewery in Hartford, where the beverage will be made for dealers throughout the state. A meet ing will be held in New Haven in the Knights of Columbus building Octo- Der 29, when local dealers and dele gates from all over the state will meet to decide definitely upon the question.
 The reason that the rtail dealers are planning to manufacture their own beer Is that the brewers refuse to lower the price, although it is said that reduction has been made all over the country except in Connectl- cut, where there is state association of brewers The price of beer here is SIP barrel Throughout the country it ranges from $9 to SIP. The price year ago, before the brewers made the increase, was $11 a barrel.
 It was stated in the offices of the several breweries in the city yestcr- day afternoon that there was little if any real foundation for the report. In several of the offices 1t was denied that such a move was under cOntem- ulation. In one of them it was said that 1t had just been heard in the office and that it had also been heard that a brewery was to be opened on State street.

MISS RoosEvELTs FASHION.
Washington to Follow Her Lead in
 Wearing Evening Gowns.

Washintgon, Oct 27.-Although Miss Rooseevlt's formal entry into society has been announced to take place at a white house ball on De- 2S, the presidents daughter fs already meking herself felt. She has very decided convictions on the matter of dress. Miss Roosevelt s recent appearance at the theater in full dress, departure from all Wash- ington precedent, was most accept able to society, which has made up it's mind to follow her example.
 The occasion was the production of a new play at the National, when Miss Roosevelt appeared with her parents in the presidential box wearing a low-necked gown of light blue satin crepe, made in the pre- vailing close. straight lines, with its upper portion almost entirely of white lace. The latter had flat flounce across the slight recolletage and also formed the sleeves, which came to the elbow. A large cor sage- bouquet of gardenians gave a festive touch to the gown.
 Another dparture was the absensc of gloves, rings or bracelets.

JOE LETTERS PLUNGE

Chicago. Oct. 27.-Revelation showing the poverty of Lord and Lady Curzon who was Mary Letter. after their return from India where they had ruled oyer millions of sub jects in regal splendor and disclosure of the actual sum $9,O00,OO0 that Joe" Letter dropped in his famous plunge in the wheat pit were made public for the first time yesterday in the suit of Hugh Crabbe against the Zeigler Coal company for. $416, on trial in Judge Eberhardt's court.
 Because of Letters unfortunate speculation as was shown his allow ance is now only 54,000 year while both his sisters are receiving more than twice this amount. Lady Cur zon's poveryt followed her to her grave. When she and Lord Curzon returned to England they could not open their magnificent London house Carlton House Terrace. but were forced to- take rooms in hotel and live inexpensively while waiting for funds to arrive from America. The financial difficulties of the Curzons were caused by the immense drains made upon Lady Curzon's purse by their establishment and entertain ment in India.
 At this time, however Lord Cur zon and his children are receiving $68,000 a year from the, Levi z. Letter estate besides the income from $1,700,000 .placed in trust. Joseph Letter receives 4,500 month from the estate. When he dropped $9,000,O00 in the wheat pit his father assumed $7,0OO,O0O of the burden. When he died however he charged each one of the children up with the money they had received from him before his death. Lady Suffolk who was Miss Daisy Letter receives an income of $f25, ,000 a year, as also does her sister, Mrs Colin Campbell, formerly Nancy Letter.
 Lady Curzon's letter in which she told of her financial straits was writ ten to Hugh Crabbe in February, in 1907. A short time after this Lady Curzon died and Lord CurzOn received a settlement in part of the l.. z. Letter estate. It appears that he was paid too much money and because of this he was informed that his income from the estate would be forwarded to him less $10,700. His Lordship expressed s.horror" at this and said so plainly in letter to MT Crabbe.

Extra value in q umbrellas at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S.
 Up to [ o'clock this morning the Branch reservoir had gained two inches after the rain, but at noon to-day it had lost quarter of an inch of that, so that the situation at the present time is about as bad as ever.
 The police have been as yet un- able to procure any information which would lead to the discovery of the person who placed the 3 days old child in the cellar of the block at A Meadow street on Saturday. Eli Robarge. one of the tenants, found the child in an old carpet. The detectives have been working on the case, but it is one of those affairs which are difficult to unraveI.
 The full degree team and about 50 members of White Oak camp No 3 turned out yesterday for the first time. After the parade they return ed to Pythian hall where they were served with hot coffee and sand wiehes by manager and assistant manager of the Woodmen of the World base ball team.

"I wonder why 1t is," remarked tho stranger to me.
 "Why what is?' queried.
 He groaRcd and explained thus:
 "Why is it that chefs at restaurants think that the mere addition of a to- mato to anything under the sun just1- fies their calling the combinatiomsome- thing a rEspagnole?
 "Is eggs rEspagnole.' My curi- osity is at once aroused. What ask myself, do the Spaniards do to eggsr So I order eggs l'Espagnole.' What are they? Eggs with tomato.
 T see chicken fricassee a rEspa- gnole' Nothing but tomato mixed with chicken. And thus 1t goes on and on through life, continual round of hopes deceived. Spanish sauce is to-, mato catchup. It is absurd; 1t is care less. Chefs have no right to be so lazy. Why, if the same degree of care lessness is allowed to run rampant through other classes of men besides chefs I do not doubt''-
 Here the stranger got positively tragic.
 T do not doubt that the good old phrase walking Spanish will be ap- piled to stepping on tomato. I fear It; I fear it."

New York, Oct. 27.-To-day's political programme is one of in tense activity throughout New York city and state. Both presidential candidates are here, hurrying from point to point in the city and nearby towns. MT Taft started for the out lying suburbs early in the day, going first to Yonkers at $40 and then to series of cities and towns along the Hudson as far up as Troy. MT Bryan devoted himself to greater New York, beginning at 3 a. m. in City hall park, then after few hours sleep addressing a Broadway meeting, then going to Brooklyn and Long Island city, and later swinging across to Jersey City.
 Both of the gubernatorial candi- dates also devoted their attention to New York city. Governor Hughes came down from Albany, speaking en route at Catskill, and reaching New York this afternoon to fill speaking engagements here, Long Island city and several suburban points. MT Chanler gave his attention to New York city and Brooklyn.
 Attorney-General Bonaparte is among the notable speakers sched- uled to appear here tonight. MT Hearst is also expected to make another address dealing with the subjects which have attracted wide- spread attention of late. MT Sher- man the republican vice-presidential candidate arrived in New York to- night after addressing meetings at upstate points during the day.

MAN RAN WILD
Cleared Path Before Him by Bran.
 dishing Horsewhip.


 The people in the vicinity of West Side hill were thoroughly scared about I o'clock this morning when they learned that a crazy man was running through the streets brand ishing horsewhip in his hand and flashing everybody who came in his way. They later breathed sigh of relief when they heard that the man was arrested before he had done any serious accident. Patrolman Maurice Healey brought him to the station.
 The man gave his name as Charles Brown but the police do not think 1t right. He has been employed the past two months by James Tyler of Middlebury but the past few days he was acting queerly, so this morning MT Tyler discharged him. Tyler was later driving to town and agreed to bring Charles with him as the lat ter is said to have resided on South Leonard street until a short time ago.
 On West Side hill Brown jumped from the wagon and grabbing the horsewhip started pell nell through the street. He lashed every man woman and child who crossed his path and struck Ernest Clark, a young man, such vicious blow on the face that cut of six inches in length was made. Before he had gone very far though he was arrest ed by Patrolman Healey. He will in all probability be taken to the Brookside home as Dr Brennan pro- nounced him violently insane and said he was very dangerous man.
 Charles formerly worked for Baker Tom Kelly who has known him about three years. He Is about thirty-eight years of age.
