LOCAL NOTES.

Charles Goodhue King and chauffeur with Edward P. Lyman of this village took an auto ride to Hartford, last Sun day.
 Carpenters are busy this week on B. Gustaveson's s summer residence in re- pairing the damage done by falling chimney on the ell part, which blew down by the strong wind of the last days of 1907.
 Charles Douglass of New Haven was again here at H. McCan's, last Sunday.
 Miss Julia Moynihan of Bridgeport concluded, last Friday, weeks visit here at Miss Kate Bronson's and re- turned via New Milford, to her home again, where a responsible position as teacher in the High school in Bridge port awaits her, this week.
 We omitted to mention in our cor respondence that connected with the Christmas decorations at Pavilion hall was the stage auornment by 55 fox skins secured by A. G. Caskey during his hunts here and most kindly loaned by him to enhance the attractions at the hall and to the entertainment on December 5, and the effect for Christ mas, was all that could be desired. More men with his public spirit here would be great accession to the i'm provement of this village. He is ever found on the side of charity, congenial- ity and good cheer and unity of pur- pose. When it is considered that his collection of skins, all got by his own unerring markmanship are so dear to him that he felt he could let them re- main at the hall through the night, after the entertainment, his contribu- tion seems most generous and excep- tlonal for the success of the Christmas celebration here.

ANNUAL ECCLESIASTICAL SOCI-
 ETY MEETING.
 At the annual meeting of the Eccle- 'siastical society on Monday afternoon of last week, Major Walter Burnham, Hon H. o. Averill and Edward 0. Sperry were chosen committee for the year ensuing; Sherman Cogswell, clerk and treasurer; Edward 0. Sperry, collector; the other officers and ushers about the same as last year. A reso- lution was passed during the meeting to make the pews free to all during the coming year or that the expenses of the society shall be borne by volun- tary contributions with the aid also of the church fund. It is to be hoped this move may result in large church attendance and more interest taken in church matters by a greater number of families than in the past years here.

AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

Rev J. E. Herman delivered a most excellent New Years sermon from his pulpit here, last Sunday, and several faces were seen in the congregation who have not been seen there before in some time. Dr Herman by his agree able manners and pulpit discourses draws all men unto him. His pulpit oratory and sociability in the past can hardly be excelled.

TRIP-PACIFIC MEETS REDUCTIONS OF OTHER
LINEs-TALK OF LOWER RATES ON OTHER TRANs-PACIFIC
BOATs-ASIA

The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany has made a cut in the passenger
rate between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco with it's s. S. China.
The new rate will go into effect some
time in December, if not before, and
for sixty dollars, instead of seventy
five, one may travel from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu or from Honolulu to
San Francisco in this comfortable
liner, while he may make the round
trip for $110,
While the above is the extent of de-
finite announcement, it is believed that
it is but the beginning of a cut on all
the boats of the Pacific Mail line be-
fore many months pass, and that the
Korea, Siberia, Manchuria and Mon
golia will soon come under the same
rate of sixty dollars, first cabin, one
way, and $40 round trip, between here
and San Francisco.

PEARL HARBoR TRIPS OCCUR MONDAY AND TUESDAY FIRST
SQUADRON FINISHES CoALING ON FRIDAY-KAHUKU SENT
WIRELESS TO FLAGSHIP ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PROVED
SUSCEPTIBLE PRACTICAL TOWING.

One week from tomorrow, October
%, the entire Pacific fleet leaves Ho-
nolulu for Magdalena bay, according to
official statements made aboard the
flagship West Virginia this morning.
Honolulu, therefore, after all, gets
nine days of the fleet, in two install
ments. Ten days was the original
plan, but a day less is not enough to
be classed as much of a disappoint-
ment
On Monday and Tuesday next there
will be special trips in the U. s. s.
Iroquois to Pearl Harbor for the bene-
fit of officers of the fleet and local
government representatives, when the
site of the future great naval sta
tion will be looked over by men who
are today helping to make history.
TOWING TEST MEANS MUCH.
The test of towing torpedo-boat
destroyers from San Francisco to Ho-
nolulu and hence to Samoa and return
has proven most satisfactory accord
ing to officers of the fleet and reports
will vouch for the success of the great
experiment. The result of this long
towing test means that battleships or
cruisers can tow torpedo boats or des-
troyers any distance; that they can
be towed from San Francisco to Ma
nila which is significant in the TACT
that warships with destroyers in tow
are the better protected in the event
of night attack, for then the black
devils can cut loose and make it hot
for an enemy.
WITH LITTLE COAL LEFT.
The destroyers came in here yester-
day with very little coal left. Aboard
the Preble there were but two or three
tons remaining, and this because steam
was kept up all the time, the destroy
ers being ready to handle themselves
should lines part. And, as stated yes
terday, the lines parted several times
all except the line of the Perry.
RUSHING COAGING.
Until late last night the vessels oi
the first squadron of the fleet were
playing their searchlights on the Goa
piles and the men were throwing Goa
into the bunkers Coaling will be rush
ed. so that the men of the fleet may
have shore liberty as soon as possible
Now there are officers and first class
men ashore, but general liberty vii
not be granted until coaling Is accom-
plished.

Francisco and Oriental ports.
The Asia, formerly Of the Occidental
& Oriental Company which company
was taken over by the Pacific Mail,
may be taken off this run altogether,
according to late advices.
1t is stated that but for the fact that
she is of British registry shhe would be
kept on this run or might be put on
the local run between Honolulu and
San Francisco. If she had American
registry the cut in passenger rates
that is about to apply to the China
would also be applied to the Asia.
Through the accident of registry, there
fore, Honolulu loses a good boat in the
Asia.
There will be on change in the sche-
dule of the China as far as is known at
present
This cut in the Chinas rates meets
the cuts made by the Matson line and
followed by the Alameda Of the Oceanic
line.

A NEW YORK WEEKLY NATIONAL PROMINENCE COMES OUT
STRONGLY ADMISSION HAWAII TO THE UNION AS A
STATE FOLLOWING UP SUGGESTION SPREAD BY SECRETARY
GARFIELD PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The New York Independent, lead
ing National American Weekly, has
the following:
That Arizona and New Mexico will
be admitted at the next session of
Congress at States there is. or should
be, no doubt. They wisely rejected
the proposal that they be admitted as
one State preferring to wait till their
own populatin and the will of Con-
gress allowed them to come in as Sc
parate commonwealths. Both terri
tories had a small population in 1900,
but other existing States had a smaller,
and irrigation and mines are drawing
in settlers. They will both be worthy
States.
But there is one other Territory
which we would have made full State
and that is Hawaii. We would have it,
not because it can compete in size
with other new States, although it's
area is larger than that of Connecticut
/ and Rhode Island combined, and some
what smaller than that of Massachu-
sets, nor yet because its population
easily commands admission, altho In
1900 two states had smaller popula-
ton than the $4,000 then accredited
to Hawaii, and several others had a
population not much larger. We have
in view the international Importance of
Hawaii, with which scarce any other
State can make comparison, and the
importance of Hawaii to our future
national interests.
Secretary of the Interior James r
Garfield has been visiting Hawaii and
studying it's conditions and advantages
and we doubt not that he would be
pleased to have it made full common
wealth. He carried to Hawaii these
significant words:
THE President wishes not only thai
: Hawaii shall have been annexed to the

in the stream alongside the British
bark Hollywood. AS she got abreast
of the flagship West Virginia she hois-
ted the Stars and Stripes at her fore,
a flag so big that it made the little
cruiser look still smaller, and belched
twenty-one gun national salute. She
was answered by the saluting battery
of the Naval Station, gun for gun, and
then the Catinat saluted Rear Admiral
w. T. Swinburne's flag, the American
flagship responding, gun for gun.
SECOND SQUADRON COMING.
No wireless messages have yet been
heard at Kahuku from the second
squadron of the Pacific fleet. Tonight
they will probably communicate.
Wireless Expert Isbell was busy last
night working on the perfection of the
Kahuku wireless stations sending ap-
paratus, so he was not listening. The
second squadron is expected here on
Friday, about noon. By the time the
second detachment of vessels puts in,
the first will have coaled The collier
| Saturn. loaded, will not give up any
of her coal here. She will probably
precede the fleet to Magdalena Bay.
FLAGSHIP WIRELESSING
The flagship West Virginia was last
night in wireless communication with
vessels of the second squadron. During

keeping silent so as not to interfere

On Saturday night last the West

from the Kahuku long-distance sta,

was on for sending, reached the first
squadron of the Pacific fleet. This
fact came out this morning and pre-
vious silence in this regard Is but al
indication of the modesty of Exper

United States, but that it shall be in
corporated in and become one of the
United States.
Now what are the objections? We
presume that, as has sometimes been
proposed, California would like to have
Hawaii annexed to itself, but that is
impossible. Hawaii is not only too
far separated in distance, but its in
terests are such that it could not con-
sent to be dominated by Californian
sentiment and legislation Hawaii
has its beautiful history of which it is
proud; and it is has also its institu-
tions and habits which are not those OF
the continent That suggestion can
be dismissed
Another objection is the conglo-
merate population of Hawaii-Ameri-
can, Portuguese, Chinese and Japa.

Minstrels Dedicate n Monument to
the Memory of Colonel
Haverly.

The long neglected grave of the one
time power of the theatrical world, Col
onel Jack Haverly, was fittingly marked
last Tuesday WITH a handsome monument
to his memory contributed to by many Of
his old-time associate friends and en-
ployes. Colonel Haverly, who at one time
had in his employ Charles Frohman, ALI
Hayman, Frank Mckee, Daniel Frohman,
and many of the present-day magnates
of the theatrical world, died almost pen
niless seven years ago, and was buried
at Mount Peace cemetery, in Philadelphia.
1t was only recently that 1t was discov-
cred that his last resting place bore no
headstone or memorial. Messrs. Cohan &
Harris, George van and Sol Bloom, all
prominently identified with the theatrical
business Immediately started a fund for
a monument as a last tribute to Colonel
Jacks memory. The dedication ceremon-
les occurred at Philadelphia last Tuesday,
and were attended by more thar 600

IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. 25,-(special.)-
The indications are that the State Teach
ers' association will endorse the recofnmcn-
dations made by the committee appointed
by the governor this year to revise and
codify the school laws of the state. Prof
F. S. Ensign, state high school inspector
for the State university, n chairman Of
the committee on resolutions of the asso'
citation, states that he has all confidence
that such IN endorsement will be made
He has talked widely with those Interested
in school matters over the state and the
consensus Of opinion seems strongly in
favor of such changes in our school law
as are contemplated in these recommends
tons OF the committee
Owing to delay in printing, copies OF the
bill have not been distributed as yet and
the only knowledge among most OF the
school eachers as to what the bill con.
tains is from newspaper outlines of the
recommendations. However, It Is expected
that the bill will be ready to distribute
by next week.
Another matter which will come before
the association will be action upon the
proposition to change the time of holding
the meeting from the holidays to October
The change has been agitated for som,
years n this time 1t seems to have back
ing enough so that it will undoubtedly b,
brought about.
