Increase in Membership.

referring to the suggestion that has
been made that the committee on rules
should be increased in membership, if
you make a committee with eleven mem
bers why not make it twenty-one? And
If twenty-one why not forty-nine? If
it is difficult to get a quorum of three
how much more difficult would it be to
get d quorum OF eleven? If you take
away the committee on rules you must
provide something to take its place.
There is a general public belief, due to
lack of knowledge, misrepresentation and
demagogic editorials and press reports,
that the committee rules issues an
order to the House and that it must
obey the order. The committee on rules
does not wish to have defeated on the
floor of the House any measure which
it may present. and as it should assist
the majority to work it's will, the re-
publican members of the committee en-
deavor to learn sometimes by caucus or
conference what the desire of the
majority are"

By Dynamite Cap-SIiver Necessitates
 Operation on Another Youngster.
 Emelio Castagna, an Italian boy aged seven years, whose parents reside near the Peirce & Freeman branch of the New England Lime Company. Canaan, was severly injured Wednesday. He found a cap known as dynamite ex- ploder and held it in his left hand while playmate touched match to it. The explosion which followed, shattered the thumb and two first fingers on the hand. Dr. F. H. Lee was called and after dressing the injury temporarily, took the boy to the House of Mercy :, where the fingers and thumb were am- putated at the first joint. The boy will probably remain in Pittsfeld about ten days.
 On Sunday evening Erlc Borg, seven year old son of Goran Borg, residing on Church street in Canaan, while playing on the kitchen floor, ran @ large silver into his leg and it was broken off below the surface while an effort was being made to dislocate it. Dr. Lee was called and found it necessary to admin ister an anaesthetic in order to remove the silver.

to resent a snub with this rejoinder, Brethren, you will treat your chairman with becoming respect or you may take your church and go to h-with it."
 Ezekiel Dadoll invented and manufact- ured here the first foot stove. William P. Burrall, another Canaan man, was the first president of the Housatonic Railroad, over which the first train en- tered Canaan, in December, 1841. John Foster, the village blacksmith of more than half a century ago, was famous wit. .... E..-
 Samual Bryant was the first settler in Canaan. He came here with his six sons from Stamford, Conn.,, and his seventh son was the first white child born in the town. Charles Isaac Lawrence in 1751 built the first substantial house here and, still in good condition, it is to-day the residence of Mrs Hiram Eddy, the widow of the eminent divine. Of this house, which is known as the. Isaac Lawrence Tavern. Hawthorne wrote:- . there is a doorstep two or three paces large in each of it's dimensions, and on this is inscribed the date when the builder of the house came to the town namely, TAI Then follows the age and death of the patriarch (at over ninety.) his wife and their eleven child ren. It would seem as if they were buried there, and many people take that idea. It is odd to put a family record on spot where it is sure to be trampled under foot. , There are several hundred descendants of Lawrence in the Canaans today.
 Likewise here are descendants of such Canaan Revolutionary heroes as the two Jonathan Gillettes, father and son; Gap tain Nathaniel Stevens, this four brothers and brother-i in law, Samuel McClary, who was one of the guards over Major Andre at his execution. The Gillette homestead, which stands northwest of the village. is still in the family. On the site of another Gillette house is the home of Dr. Charles w. Camp, who married the daughter of the late Judge Miles T. Granger. of Canaan, who was judge of the Connecticut Supreme Court and member of Congress. Dr. Camp has been @ practising physician here for thirty years. is medical exami- ner of the town, and has been Repre- sentative in the General Assembly and held many other offices. ~
 Captain Stevens built fine house at East Canaan, which is kept ill good re- pair and occupied by hls descendant, H. O. Stevens, who has one of the best farms i'll Litchfeld county. Another landmark is the Douglas house, where Hessian soldiers were quartered as prisoners while on the march from Bot ton to New York. It is said that in the stone walls of the house can be seen the staples to which they were bound.

 Limerick Line.

Of Clayton, Mass, Sends the best
 Limerick Line.
 The limerick we presented last week proved to be somewhat of stickler and lines do not equal in number those sub mitted during former weeks. The ladies found it different thing to think up" lines for limerick which is. perhaps. so far removed from subjects with which they arc familiar or which appeal to their interest. therefore the one we present this week will, we trust, be found more attractive to them. The winner of last weeks limerick is L. B. Tinker of Clayton, Mass, and this is the line he sent.
 "The country is all in a stew,
 And the President in perplexity too,
 And I havn't doubt
 It was all brought about
 Because the trusts are not getting
 their due.
 Here are other answers submitted to last week s limerick. By the things Teddy's been trying to do.
 Gladys M. Pulver, Canaan By the number of bears that he slew.
 Mrs. G. V Capron, Falls Village By somebody's too radical view.
 F. A. Emmons, East Canaan. The president is after the whole crew. By the majority being opposed to the few. e+".. By trying to make Roosevelt blue. By capital and labor differing in view.
 H. B. Stevens, Canaan. By various causes, don't you? By Gentiles and not by Jew. Through our multi millionares too. High living and guests not a few.
 Albert Sheppard, Pittsfield By the many political views. By our navy that's now on her cruise. By the changing from Teddy to Hughes. Mrs. A. k. Benton, Canaan Valley By Teddy's plain talk to few.
 A. E. Benton, Canaan Valley By rumors of war, not a few. By big lot of talk that's untrue. By the rag which the newspapers chew. By the Trust Bust Hullabaloo." By the campaigns approach into view. By Bill Bryan's big boom. (Nothing new.) By the blank which reformed spelling drew.
 Alice O. Dean, Falls Village By reports that stretched out as they flew. Winifred Dean, Falls Village. Because the trusts are not getting their due. -.. Becausc Billy may fail to pull through. Because Hughes has the white house in view.
 By the men who have nothing to do. For fear Taft may be knocked black and blue.
 Cause the Yankees have children so few. l.. B. Tinker, Clayton, Mass.

A Spiteful Scribe.

The Great Harrington correspondent of the Pittsfield Journal evidently "has it in" for Canaan basket ball players and has written for his paper several malicious and unwarranted paragraphs relative to them. He also alleges that Great Harrington base ball players have not been fairly treated here which statement is not ill accordance with facts so far as we have been able 70 lrsrH.

The Base Ball League.


 FrOm EaSt Canaan comes the intelli- gence that the members of the base ball team in that village are favorably i'm pressed with THE NEWS suggestion relative to the formation of a vicinity league. And now let us drop word of caution. If this league is organized, let there be an iron-clad agreement against any of the teams engaging players from outside the respective villages. We have in mind two amateur leagues which went to smash because professional players were hired by first one team and then another until the expenses be- came so heavy that they could not be paid. The leagues disbanded ill the middle of the season when had there been a rule providing for home players only, there is every reason to believe that the schedule so arranged would have b?en carried out. Unless each club is willing to make the home player agreement, the league idea might as we'll be abandoned because it cannot succeed unless such an agreement is made.
