This vas impossible, because the li- cense clerk had gone home and the office was closed.

"As Goes Barkhamsted."

Winsted, Aug 12.-The old adage "As goes Barkhamsted so goes the state" is being completely overlooked in the excitement of the campaign here. Yesterday the republicans of
 Barkhamsted met and elected four Lilley delegates. The antis. however. assert that the familiar saying can not be applied to the preliminaries and that conditions In Barkhamsted have changed anyway. SO that town can no longer be regarded as a cri- terion. That the instIgators of the anti-Lilley club here in their anxiety to secure the names of influential citizens were not especially careful in making their selections Is eyinced by the fact that among the vice presidents announced a few days ago Is the name of Joseph Y. Carey, a well known local contractor. Mir Carey, it is understood. is no friend of Liliey's and when he was asked expressed himself in accordance with his views and he was forthwith elect ed a vice-president of the club. For several days the smile Of Mfr Carsy's friends have been noticeable and tt has finally leaked out that he is ane always has been a democrat.

DISoRDERLY NEGROES IN CAROLINE

Bowling Green, Va. October Both, 1908.
Henry Glory and Warner Fox were
brought here yesterday and confined In
thu jail to await the action OF the grand
Jury. 1t seems that they bad gotten some
whiskey, and having one mule between
them they both rode the same mule TO
the house OF Bowler Fox. rode the mule
into the house and attempted to ride up
the stairs to the room where the wife and
children OF Fox had taken refuge, but the
mule got obstinate and refused TO go
further. so he was tied to the bed post
aud the riders proceeded to mount the
steps, to break IN the door which was
fastened. 1t wss here that they had dis
agreement and fight, and while thus
engaged, Fox's family escaped to a
nearby house During the fight every
thing In the room was broken up, and
one threw lighted lamp at the other,
which set the room atire, but fortunately
there was another colored man whoertin-
guished the flames. Warner Fox also had
a pistol on bis person and was fined
twenty-five dollars for carrying conceal
ed weapons. Warner Fox has seved
term in the penitentlary from this county
for burglary.
Bette Reynolds was sent to jail to
serve term Of three months for stealing
corn. This seems to be a falling with
Bette, for she has been several times be-
fore charged with the same offense. She
has gotten accustomed to spending her
winters ia the jail here, and it seems
hard to break her OF the nabit.

She Suffered For Years Was the
Cause Of Her Death--Was Eighty
two Years of Age-Despite Her Ad-
vancing Years Mrs. Astor Continued
Her Social Domination Until W
Health Caused Her to Retire.
New York. oct. 31--Mrs. William
Astor. who for thirty years has been
REGARDED as the social leader OF New

condition owing to the return OF a
heart affection that had given ner trou-
BILE for years.
There is not a name in the social
register that is so well known from
one end of the land to the other as
that OF Mrs. Astor. Despite her ad'
yancing years. Mrs. Astor continued
to hold her social domination up to a
year ago when failing health com
pelled her to retire into comparative
seclusion.
Il was in the summer OF 1907 that
Mrs. Astors friends learned Of her Ill
health. While she was abroad last
year her son. Colonel John Jacob AS
tor. made the announcement that
Beechwood. the summer home OF Mrs.
Astor at Newport. would not be open
ed. and this led to the discovery that
Mrs. Astor was in poor health WORD
came later from Mrs. Astor While she
was in Paris. saying that she would
open her Newport villa and that she
would make the season there one OF
the gayest in years.
This promise was not fulfilled. how
ever. for when Mrs. Astor returned
from abroad she broke down in Boston
and had to return to New York. she
had remained at her home ever since.
The society functions given and pre-
sided over by Mrs. Aastor have gone
down into history as the most bril-
liant on record 1t Is said that the ball
room 10 the mansion on Fifth avenue
would accommodate 1000 people. It
was Mrs. AstOr who established the

have "let down the bars" when she in
yited 1900 persons 10 one OF the most
memorable social events ever given In
New York. Mrs. Astor received her
guests at these gatherings seated in a
high-backed chair beneath a portrait
OF herself. painted by Carolus Duran.
The Astor jewels were worn by Mrs,
Astor on these occasions. II is said
the Astor emeralds are the fiest in
the world.

activities his wife enjoyed. Mrs. Astor
before marriage was Miss Caroline
