Gov. Weeks. Appointmsnts.

In the appointment of Attorney Cen
eral Holcomb and Gardiner Greene to
the bench of the superior court. Gov.
Weeks recognizes the claims of abil-
ity, locality and political service. Both
gentlemen have high standings as law
yers, both have been closely associated
with republican political progress and
both by their residences represent sec
tions of the state which have expressed
earnest desire for Water
bury American.
Gov. Weeks is to be congratulated
upon the appointment of Marcus II.
Holcomb of Southington and Gardner
Greene of Norwich to the superior
bench. 1t is unfortunate that
any question should have arisen in
connection with these appointments
over the alleged purposes Of former
Gov. Lilley. 1t is understood that the
governor followed the counsel of Sec
retary Goodwin in undertaking to live
up to the wishes of Mr.. Lilley in this
regard, though he could not have been
criticised had he acted on his own re-
sponsibiity. When he took the oath
of office he assumed the right to fol-
low his own exclusive judgment and
for that he could not have been criti-
cised.-New Haven Journal-Courier.
The fact that Gov. Weeks has made
these appointments without delay-and
has named men who are eminentIy
fitted to occupy the places will add to
the feeling of confidence in his ability
and good judgment among those in the
state who do not know him so well as
we do in Middletown. -Middletown

night in camp was without especial IN

after lions, although their roaring was
heard now and then during the course
of the night
At dawn the camp was astir and the
drive speedily organized. The native
beaters set out in all directions under
the instruction OF the "headman,
equipped with all sorts of noise making
devices which could not but arouse any
game within earshot. Some of the
beats proved unsuccessful, but by
nightfall no less than ten species of
game had been bagged.
Kermit's Camera Did Effective Work.
Kermit Roosevelt during the greater
part of the day did more effective work
with his camera than he did with his
gun, he and the other members of the
party allowing Mr.. Roosevelt the much

Details of the actual shooting were
not brought down to Nairobi Saturday

GRAND TRUNK is
ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION
Coming Through Center of New Eng

lengthy article concerning the
Grand Trunk railway of Canada and
It's possibilities appeared last week in
the Montreal Daily Herald. from which
the following extract is taken:
At the present time the Grand Trunk
railway system is attracting the at
tention of the eastern states and its
influence as a great international rail-
road on the business an1 traffic of the
United States is - gnized and talked
about as never before.
The latest evidence of this is con-
tanned in an Interview with a gentle
man from Boston who is closely in
touch with transportation matters in
New England. He says the New Eng
l&nders are looking to the Grand
Trunk as one of their chief means Of
development, recognizing that t is
creating ard protecting a traffic which
the trunk lines would not do of them
selves. The trunk lines devote their
entire energies. he says, 10 the devel-
ODment of MeH Xeesf-lISs erik, and that until
the Grand Trunk took a hand In the
game the interests of the other cities
and ports Of the east had compare
lively little show.
This, says the Boston authority, is
all changed now, and the port OF
Portland and the other cities of the
coast look to the Grand Trunk as their
chief hope. With its main line extend
ing from Portland, Me. to Chicago
and in conjunction with it's Central
Vermont line reaching New London
Conn, after passing through the heart
of New England. it is not only greatly
interested in seeing that freight rates
as well as passenger rates between
New England and Chicago and the
western states are on a favorable foot
ing, but is in a better position than
any other railway system to see that
this is carried out

surprises 1t shows that Independent
of his wife's estate he was worth
about S1,00O000, and that full third,
at least, is life insurance. The will
provides for trust somewhat on the
principle of that governing the A. S.

dent in Connecticut in probate law.

draw $1,000 at any time to embark in

-Four lions are trophies Of ex-Presi-

Hills tonight, and the two hundred or
more native followers are joining with
the American party in the celebration
of the unusually good luck.
Fondest Hopes Realized.
The lions were bagged Friday, and
Colonel Roosevelt's mighty gun brought
three OF them to earth, each on the
first shot. Thus one of the former
presidents fondest desires has been re-
allied. and he is proud, too, that the
fourth of the Jungle kings fell before
the rifle of his son, Kermit, who, how
ever, took three shots to kill his quar-
ry. Both father and son are jubilant.
1t was their first lion hunt, and so
magnificent kill was far beyond their
expectations,
Plans Laid by English Hunter.
Lions have been plentiful in the hills
Tor the past month, and the English
hunter, L. C. Selous, has been out for
several days, laying plans for the hunt.
How well he succeeded can be seen
from the results of Fridays chase.
Mr.. Selous accompanied the former
president, who also was attended by
the usual retinue of beaters. As a rule,
the beaters go into the Jungle with
considerable trepidation, but as Colonel
Roosevelts reputation as a hunter had
reached here long before he arrived in
person, the beaters on this occasion
were exceptionally enthusiastic. They
seemed even eager to play a part in
the fret hunt of the distinguished
American.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL.
There Remains Now Nothing but th
Vote-ProbabIe Rejection.

Hartford, May 2.-The house is al
most through with the public utilities
commission matter-was, indeed, when
it voted the previous question Thurs
day ard shut off everything except the
1lnal vote on the matter-and there re-
mains now nothing but this vote. no
amendments or substitute bills being
in order after the previous question is
ordered. This means the rejection of
the present bill, which has very few
friends. The fact that it proposes to
take away from the legislature one of
its principal powers, that of grant,
ing charters, and places this in the
hands of three men appointed by the
governor, long since condemned the
measure in the minds of most legisla-
tors.
That there Is no real wish for a
public utilities commission is shown
by the fact that many weeks have
elapsed since it was plain that this
bin would not pass and no effort what
ever has been made to either amend
this bill or offer a substitute.
