WILLING TO FORFEIT.
New Haven Road Doesn't Want Its
Massachusetts, Charter Any Longer.

New Haven, Ct, Feb. 3.-From opinions
expressed by prominent officers of the
New York New Haven & Hartford Rail
road Co it is inferred that the corpora
ton is considering seriously the forfeit
ing OF it's Massachusetts charter in case
that result can be obtained without frlc-
zion between the company and the Mass
achusetts authorities. This is due to the
fact that under that charter during the
recent controversies Massachusetts has
claimed jurisdiction over the property.
The charter in question went into effect
"a wears ago at the time of the merger OF
the New York & New Haven Co. on the
one hand and the New Haven, Hartford
& Springfield Co. on the other. The prop-
erty of the New Haven Co. directly at
.fected by the charter, it is claimed. con-
sists only of the few miles between the
state line and Sprinteld.
| In tire interval since the charter was
adopted practically all the acts OF the
| New Haven corporation affecting its
properties in Massachusetts,, except the
| trolley purchases and the purchase OF
| the stock of the Boston & Maine nave
| been confirmed by the Massachusetts
| Legislature. 1t is believed therefore by
| a number OF officers of the New Haven
Co that if the corporation could fall
back uron its Connecticut charter, ii
would simplify the situation, give the
corporation a much stronger lega! po-
sitinn and probably tend to transfer
many OF the legal questions involved
from the state to the federal courts
The matter is Indirectly affected by the
bill introduced yesterday into the Con-
necticur Legislature calling for re-
port from the judiciary committee on
the subject of Connecticut protection
for her chartered railroad corporations

1 WESTPORT CHURCH MAY
 BE MODEL FOR ST. JAMES
George 0. Lines Gives Handsome and
 Gentle Shetland Pony to Fair.

In the minds eye one can look for ward few, years and see the new St. James church an ornament to the old town of Stratford. Father O'Connor said a day or two ago that the Church of the Assumption in Westport is his model, the contract price of which was but $18,000. He likes the color of the church, it's Ightsome interior, and it's general appearance. To the end that he may begin the erection of the new St. James fashioned along the lines indicated, he has now in progress a grand fair at Red Mems hall. It opened last night with a good crowd in attendance. The music was bril- liant and dancing formed an important feature of the entertainment. The presents which have been donated were massed against one side of the hall and made a fine collection. The Fair tral position, flanked by pictures, china ware, and various articles of virtu. The contributions of the A. O. H. attracted much attention, the din- ing table and chiffonier being massive and handsome.
 During the day George O. Lines was seen driving towards the Catholic rec tory with the Shetland pony which he gave to the fair. The animal is black from head to foot, and in prime con dition, having been in the pasture all summer. It is as gentle as one could wish, and will make the heart of some has materia1ized, all the good people have to do is to help on the cause and make glad the heart of Father O'COnnor

ASHAMED OF
 YOUR TEETH? Do You Always Feel Like Hiding Them?-You're
 to Be Pitied :! YOU REMEMBER
 HAPPIER DAYS When You Could Laugh and Talk and Smile Without Constraint.

Are you ashamed of your teeth Do you always feel like hiding them? If so you are to be pitied for well do you remember the happy day when you could laugh and talk and smile with out constraint or hesitation-and now, you hate to do anything that will re- quire exposing the teeth to view. And after all 'tiS your own fault that you put up with such a burden and hin- drance. Did some one tell you your teeth are too much decayed and brok- en to be filled and did that same some one suggest false teeth? Don't you believe it-your teeth can be made as good as new and without false teeth on plates, too. The Natural dental method is just the thing for your case and you should see Dr. Weidlich in the Citizens Builing, about your teeth. Hear what he has; to tell you and to show you too,' about the Natural, Por- celain method of restoring teeth and mouth as nature intended them to be. pr. Weidlich is, one of the foremost porcelain practitioners or natural den- tai surgeons and is most proficient in every branch of modern dentistry. He is qualified to give expert atten- tion in the rarest and most difficult the most modern appliances in his perfectly equipped offices and operat- ing room. That he is one of the busiest if not the busiest dentist in the city is sufficient recommendation of his ability. In every corner of the city will be found patients of his who now possess admirable sets of teeth teeth they are not afraid to show and teeth which allows them to masti- cate their food properly-and these
 people are ever ready to give f1atter-
 ing testimony to the capabilities of their dentist. Better teeth-better
 mastication-better health and with
 good looking, natural teeth you do
 yourself justice among people for
 whom you care. Get such teeth-the cost is not, as much as you believe
 and you will no longer feel forced to sit around like dumb, fearing to
 speak or smile and expose your teeth Dr. Weidlich will give you an abso- lute1y guaranteed eysmina4ion W-h-

White Sox Win Again.

In a very ragged game OF ball
on Sunday the White Sox won
from Lakeland by a score Of Ii to
8. The White Sox have not play
ed game or even practised for
three weeks and put up the worst
game played SO far. Sivannian
and Mussey did good battery work
for the White Sox. Lakeland
played good game up to the sew
enth inning and had the White Sox
beaten 8 to 5 up to then. In the
last half of the seventh the White
Sox got to Spine the Lakelands
pitcher and everyone belted the
ball which mixed in with errors by
Lakeland gave the game to the
White Sox. Marsh and Alexander
were absent from the lineup.
To end up the season series of
three games of ball is trying to be
arranged with the South Saltwater
ball club. IF the games can be
arranged for and the guards want
a lookin at all they have got to all
be together and present the best
kind of a lineup" says one OF
them.

and had a very trying task as there
we're many close decisions, but he
