great crowd of delegates, the Oaks
Hotel and several big summer cot
tages on the camp ground have been
leased for the week
AT the Oaks Hotel meals are being
served to the visitors by large num-
Der of people especially secured for

the number to be taken care of were
too small. and large number of cots
had to be secured to accommodate the
ones who could not be provided for in
any other way. The town people are
helping to care for the visitors, and
many private homes have been thrown
open for the guests of the city at this
big convention, the largest ever held
here.

BREED THEATER.
The Lonely Villa Thrilling High
Class Picture.

Another cool evening and another
packed house. nearly every seat in
the big house being occupied by a
delighted auditor, was the state of
affairs at the Breed theater Thursday
evening. Surely, the thriller OF the
evening was the big picture, The
Lonely Villa, a splendid story of a
suburban home. despicable burglars,
an absent husband. a frightened fam
lily, an automobile breakdown, which
is reported to the Isolated family, only
to find that there are burglars in the
house, the hurried return in a gypsy
wagon just in time to capture the
miscreants.
LA Tosca, the magnificent film dart
OF Pathe's, is the wonder of the sea-
son, the we'll known story being en-
acted by the entire force of the Come
die Franchise. Paris, which is "a suffi-
cient guarantee of its excellence. This
picture is one of the longest films ever
made by Pathe in a continuous form,
and ii is doubtful if it was ever more
perfectly acted except by the divine
Sara.
Miss Grace Alvin, the excellent So
prano, who has lately come to the
Breed theater, is increasing in popu-
larity every performance. and the
patrons are not slow to recognize this
lady's fine ability. She sings for
concert number, AS Long as the World
Rolls On, with such refined taste and
excellent conception as only a well
tutored singer can. Many of the
best musical critics in town are visit
ing this .theater to hear this talented
lady sing, and all are of one opinion,
high grade singers ever heard in the

oILING THE ROADS.
How Fairfield Has Preserved Its High
ways in Spite of Constant Use.

Two years ago the town of Fair
field spent $4,000 in building new
road through the section known as the
old post road, distance of about
three miles. Today, the town can boast
of the finest road between New York
and Bostbn, due to careful and effec-
tive treatment. Out of town residents
and motorists have been loud in their
praise of the thoroughfare and claim
that a finer road cannot be construct
ed in this part of the country for the
same amount.
On May l, Selectman Charles Fox
supervised the sprinkling of asphalt
oil over this stretch of road in five
days at an expense of 1898, using 1900
gallons of oil which is marketed at 3.9
cents per gallon. This is the cheapest
product that the Standard Oil company
handles, although it has proved highly
efficient in every instance. Selectman
Fox in an interview stated that the
town had found that the cost of
sprinkling the road with water for one
month would equal the cost of the same
treatment with oil for one year, al
lowing three coats of oil.
Due to the kindness of o. G. Jen-
nings, the town borrowed the appa-
ratus which spread the first coat of
oil, and it was found so efficient that
arrangements are unter way to pur-
chase regulation size sprinkler An
other coat win be spread in the latter
part of next month and still another
in the early fall before the weather
becomes too cold, as this element eff
fects the consistency of the OIL BY
spreading three coats every season, a
road may be kept in excellent condi-
ton through the winter months
Besides the dust-setting effect of
the oil on the roads. it has a tendency
to make them waterproof and shed the
heavy rains during the spring months
If road that has received the oil
treatment be torn up it will be found
that the gravel and oil have mingled
together and formed a sort of cement,
thereby insuring the proper position of
the bed of the road.

Town Clerk Bill.
The bill passed Wednesday. making
the terms of Office of town clerks ex-
cept in certain instances. four years,
and regulating Office hours, was recon-
sidered that amendments might be
presented An amendment was laid
in cutting out the fouryear term. Mr..
Burnes said that there was no pride
of opinion on the part of the judiciary
committee. which had turned in the
favorable report. Mr.. Burnes main
tanned that there should be some
kind of office hours and in this he was
supported by Mr.. Higgins of Winches-
ter, who asserted that attorneys often
went to offices of town clerks in small
towns and found them closed.
There are two sections to the bill.
One amendment struck out the first
section and another the second.
Mr. Burnes told the house that the
second section allowed ar deputy to
represent the town clerk and that
either the clerl; or a deputy should be
on hand two days in the week.
Finally out of a parliamentary
tangle came motion by Mr. Ogden
of Wilton to postpone indefinitely and
this carried.
School Supervision.
Mr.. Brins.nade of Washington ex-
planned the favorable report of the
committee on education as to bill
concerning school supervision. He
laid in an amendment correcting cler-
ical. errors. The bill extends the
supervision idea to smaller towns than
hitherto. and the state board of edu-
cation is authorized to fix an agents
salry. On the motion of Judge Car
rinston of Winchester the matter was
tabled.

dealing with the bill lately passed
appropriating 100000 to establish

were suspended and the resolution
was laid in and explained. The res
olution corrected a technical mistake
