niversary.
 Mrs. Myron Willis, 120 Commercial street. New Britain, attempted to com init suicide by drinking laudanum on Saturday night on Main street about ID o'clock. Emetics were adnainis- tered and Mrs. Willis was taken to the hospital. Saturday was the 14th anniversary of the Willis couples wedding, and according to Mrs. Will lfs,s her husband, who is a brick ma son for the B. H. Hubbard company, left home about o'clock to celebrate the event. She followed soon after and met her husband on the street and he refused to recognize her, she said.

Rev. J. o. 6arrows of Stoninston Has
 Pocket Picked-Loss BPS.

There was slick case of pocket picking Tuesday morning at the local station on board of the 10.50 Central Vermont train. The loser was Rev. J. 2. Barrows, a retired pastor of the tlrst Congregational church of Ston- ington.
 Rev. Mir. Barrows came to this city on an early train from his home and was boarding the Central Vermont train to go to Storrs. where he was to look after some cemetery work. He was jostled in the crowd by a man coming one way and another going the opposite way. When he got ready to sit down he found that his wallet, containing $26, was missing. He has teneded out upon the platform and saw the two men who had bumped into him, but before he could call the attention of the authorities to them they had made their escape.
 Capt B. H. Richmond was notified and with Officer Grady made a thor ough search for the men, but could not locate them. It is believed that the pair were experts and .on their way to operate at the Stafford fair and got out of town at the first op-
 MT. Barrows described the men as being about 30 years old, wearing dark suits and derby hats. They were fair ly we'll dressed. The minister left this city on the 4.0S Central Vermont train to go to Storrs to finish his errand.

PEEVIsH TOWARD AMERICA.

toms Inspection

Mrs G. NJ Cassatt an American who
has been abroad many years. had a
wrangle with the customs officials yester-
day after her arrival on the Mauretana
because her baggage was not passed with
out examination. While the other 63S cabin
passengers were cheerfully submitting their
trunks and hand bags to the inspectors
Mrs. Cassatt protested that her baggage
should not be opened. She had an ''ex-
pedite" from Collector Loeb, she said, and
she understood that it provided for a waiv-
ing Of examination.
When informed that an expedite" merely
meant that she would not have to wait in
line for an inspector and nothing more,
Mrs Cassatt said with much indignation:
This is a fine state of affairs I'm glad
I've been away from this country so long
and am sorry now that l came here at all.
With all these customs regulations. this
country is becoming what one might call
an unfit place to visit"
The customs inspectors waited patiently
until Mrs Cassatt had finished her protest
and then examined her baggage.
