Location of Hose

purchased some months ago and which
has since been in the office of A T. Rora-
back, was placed on the new hose car
riage last week and the entire outfit of
hose and other fire fighting equipment
Is now in the shed in the rear of Badg-
ley's meat market.
At the Lakes
People are now fiocking in large num-
bers to Twin Lakes and the season will
soon be at its height. 1t is expected
that many from the cities will spend the
Fourth there. The amount of baggage
handled at the Canaan station
for Twin Lakes cottagers is larger thus
fan, this year than ever before.
Garbage Cans Suggested
A Canaan business man makes the
suggestion, and a good one it is, too,
that the Village Improvement Society
procure a few large cans to be placed at
convenient points in the village for the
purpose of receiving old papers, banana
skins etc. Something of this Bort would
take care of much of the litter which is
now seen in the streets.
Canaan Lady Burned
Mrs. Charles French was severely
burned few days ago. As she re-
moved stovelid, the flames shot out and
ignited the sleeve of her waist. The
fabric was in flames to her shoulder al
most instantly. Fortunately Mrs. French
had the presence of mind to smother the
flames with an old garment which
hung near. Her arm was quite badly
burned, however. and she has expert
enced much pain since the accident.
Selling Connecticuts Building
Samuel A. Eddy of New Haven was
i'll town Monday. His family are now
occupying their cottage on the banks of
Twin Lakes. Lawrence Eddy rode his
wheel from New Haven to the Lakes, a
distance of about 70 miles, in one day. q
rather unusual feat in these days. Mr..
Eddy, Sr.. is now In Norfolk, Va. where
he went to close the negotiations for the
sale Of the Connecticut building on the
Jamestown exposition grounds. On the
return trip, he is to stop over in
Washington.
A Canaan Pianist
Miss Gladys DeHart accompanied
Miss Grant to Hartford as she had an
engagement to play in Springfield that
evening at a concert under the auspices
of the Hartford School of Music. We'd
nesday evening she played at the closing
exercises at the conservatory. The
Hartford Courant says: "Miss Gladys
DeHart is a pianist with great deal of
conscientiousness and very accurate
touch. Her number, Mendelssohn's I'D
Minor Concerto called for an accurate
ear for time but Miss DeHart was equal
to it"
Couldn't Stop
The Pittsfield Journal says: A Great
Darlington man was allowed to take
motorcycle and fellow who understood
it started the machine for him. The
rider went to Canaan a distance of Is
miles and not knowing how to start it
up, turned around at a rapid clip and
returned to Great Darlington without
stop. SO far so good but then he rode
to Housatonic, five miles more. The
machine stopped on it's own accord and
had to be shipped to the home Office.
He has since learned some points about
the machine.
