New York. Oct. N.-whfle admitting that 8 suit for a separation is in pro- gress and that it will hardly be de- tended. friends of Colonel and Mrs. John Jacob Astor to-day continued the policy of secrecy with which the af- fair has been surrounded.

None of the part ies will talk and the legal papers have not been filed.
 At the hearing which Referee Charles H. Young has already held, evidence in the form of af1davits have been filed. Colonel Astor was accom- panied by his attorney but whether there has been objection to the receipt of the afndavits cannot be learned

|DANBURY WANTS
 SALOONS REDUCED

The County Commissioners have re- eeived an extensively signed petition from Danbury asking that board to limit the number of saloons in that town to 40. Already there are over 80 saloons, which the petitioners think is too much for a town the size of Dan- bury. The population according to the last census was 19,474. The new law provides for one saloon to every 500 population. The commissioners are powerless to reduce the present number, but it will be many years be- fore Danbury is allowed a new saloon. The petitioners thought the new law could be interpreted so that the num- Der of saloons could be reduced to one to every 800 population.

BOUCHER TALKS
 ABOUT MODOCS

Tn the Twelfth district last night Stephen F. Boucher, Democratic can- didate for city clerk, made a trernen- dous hit when he said: "The opposi- ton press has been referring to the Democracy of the city as the Modocs. Now the only reason that I can find for this term being ascribed to the Democratic party is that the head of the Democratic ticket is an enthusias- tic member of the Improved Order of Red Men. I make this statement be- cause find by looking up the Modocs that they were a famous tribe of In- dians long since obliterated but who lived in this section of the country be- fore white men tread these shores. Any man who is the kind of an Indian that Edward T. Buckingham is known to be among the great tribes of this country is a fit warrior to be the big chief of the reservation of Bridge port." .t

The sewing-and-notion sale has assumed place as a store event. Women have come to count upon it. It is an occasion for the filing of the sewing-basket. It is a time when personal notions are bought with an eye to the future. And it is a time when economy is easily prac- ticed; when savings are made with as much ease as ones money is spent.
 Today we tell of such a sale which ought to set a new mark. There has never been one where qualities were better, or values great CT, or prices lower. There has never been one where so much of goodness was to be had for so little of price. Everything for the sewing basket is included; there is
