LONDON April 1.-Real consterna-
lion has been caused in the neigh
borhood of the hop exchange by the
news that the White Star liner Adri.
attic, which steamed from New York
on Wednesday. has on board 1000
tons of American hops which will be
dumped in this country in about a
week. This is the largest consign-
ment of hops ever shipped 10 this
country from America
At first the hop people of London
refused TO believe that 1000 tons of
hops were being brought over here in
one consignment This means about
$4,000 bales. and 1t was doubted If
The Adriatic. monster ship that she is,
could carry such an enormous cargo.
However. Inquiries made nj the offices
of the White Star liue confirmed the
report.
Three Thousand tons of hops on the
.AdEiatic is equal 10 nearly a third OF
the total foreign imports for one year.
The quantity of hops sent to England
from other countries, including Ger

9,60S tons a year. English hop grow
ers are convinced that a gigantic at
tempt is being made t capture the
English hop trade. Importers of
American hops do not disguise the
fact that they think 1t is an easy mat

A GREAT LECTURE.

The Town hall was crowded to its utmost, Sunday afternoon, to hear John T. Shea speak on the benefits of No.License. MT Shea is from Cam bridge, Mass, which nas voted No-Li- cense without break for twen ty-two years. He says its more than 100, 900 citizens have prospered far more in proportion in that time than people of license cities. The value of property, the large increase in saving bank de- posits, the low number of arrests, the condition of poor, the average earn ings, the significant increase in number of scholars in public and High schools, the substantial gains in business for local merchants, the brightness of homes and the state of the churches they all show why Cambridge has steadily refused to let in the saloon again. Mir Shea brought out these facts forcibly. Mir Shea knows at first hand. He has been alderman of the city. commissioner of streets and a member of the Legislature from its constituents. He is prominent lay man in tke Catholic church and na- tional leader of the temperance move- ment. He impressed all his hearers as broad minded student of affairs, a believer in the Brotherhood of man, and on fire for righteousness. His hear CTS, without regard to politics, he is a Democrat, and without regard to re- ligion, were carried away with his log ic, his pathos and his eloquence. He left the finest impression of unity for his great work upon his audience. J. Stuart Halpin presided over the meet ing. Seymour s. Green introduced the speaker. The singers from the Adven- tist church sang. MT Green made a statement showing exclusively his positive stand on his question and bis hope that the policy of No-License be continued. He spoke of the better business conditions because of the great sum of money being turned into channels of helpful business instead of into the liquor traffic. He read the following letter, with the request that it be published in our local papers.
 A WORD FROM HON s. S. GREEN.
 Mir Editor: In view of the fact that I am being placed in false. position before the voters of our town by the license party, l would ask you to kind ly publish the following: l am be- liever in no license for our town and the assertions of the party who want license, that favor an affirmative vote, are false. Maliciously and basely are their statements made at this time to influence voters. l signed the peti- tion (as 1 have many times before) to vote on this question, because believe in the fairness of the law, which gives a town the privilege to say whether they will or will not have license. l believe, Sir, the saloon is a curse to our town, both morally and commer- cially, and l have confidence in our people that this will be the verdict at the polls. Truly yours,
 s. s. Green. September 16, 1908.

NEW VOTERS WILL DECIDE THE
 QUESTION.

Will it be license or no license in New Milford next year? This is the question that is being asked on every hand. The 200 or whereabouts new vot- CTS this fall in New Milford to be made will probably settle the question. Of this number the anti-saloon people will probably have a majority. The talk of a large majority for license seems idle after studying the list. At the best, The Bee believes it will be a close vote, with the chances favoring no license. Contingencies may arise that will change the outlook. But this is the present situation from the standpoint of a disinterested, careful observer, who speaks without passion or partisan bias. \

MILLINERY OPENING AT THE
 BOOTH & BENTLEY STORE.

The ladies have been out in force. this week, to inspect the new styles in millinery at the store of the popular c. H. Booth & Bentley Co. Hats are not as large in style as year ago, the colors are more subdued. The box tu1- ban is the smallest style imported from abroad, this year. The dark shades prevail and the Pocahontas bands are very popular. The Keppel shape is one of the new shapes. Ostrich plumes, combined with flowers are worn, the same as heretofore. The Gage hat, with black satin ribbon effects is very striking. The wing effect in trimming is very popular. The Castle shape hat is stunning creation, especially if it be trimmed in blue. In the children's hats the flats prevail. Altogether, it promises to be very successful sea- son millinery at this store. Miss Emily Hughes is at the head of the millinery department, this season, assisted by Miss Barker and Miss Houghtaling. To-day and Saturday will be good days to look over the styles.
