he worked in Millerton. N Y., from May until late in November, helping build the electric line, wiring the streets and many of tho buildings. His first ten days work was helping draw poles from the mountain.
 In 1908 he worked in Sharon for the Berkshire Power O., finishing about the middle of August. #
 He had saved up to 'this time nearly $500, and the latter part of August en- tered the New York Electrical Trade School and took five months course in three and one-half months, getting his diploma about December 20, averaging S7SeS i'll his studies. He paid all his own expenses, which were little over S325.
 Not being able to get & position after finishing his schooling, he enlisted in the United States Navy January l2, 1909, for four years, passing ffrst.olaHs physical and electrical examination. Had he been twenty-one years old he could have been rated third-class electri- elan, with pay at $Ss per month, but as he was under that nge, he was put in the electrical school at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one of the best in the world. His pay is now $17.60 per month, no lost time, first-olass board, medical attend ance, and an outfit worth s80.
 After being in the school few weeks scarlet fever broke out and he was one of the victims, being in the hospital seven weeks, but in bed only three days.
 Young Wilbur is a member of Elm wood Camp, No. 60, woodmen of the World, of Sharon. and takes pride in be- longing to the order.
 Uncle Sam is very strict with his boys. They must arise at 5 A. NJ, be very neat about their person and clothing, do their own washing and mending. attend to their duties promptly, and be in bed at 9 P. M, unless they have shore liberty. Liberty can be had every Sunday and every other night if the men have no marks against them. Wilbur sleeps in hammock, and says the grub is the best in the world.
 He has host of friends in Sharon and vicinity, and after completing his course in the electrical school he hopes to have the pleasure of informing them that he has captured the rating of second class electrician, which pays $44 per month.
 Nearly everything on bettlsship sx- cept eating, sleeping, and saluting the officers, is done by electricity, and it is his aim, after years of work and study, to get the position of electrical gunner, which carries good salary with it. As he has begun at the foot of the ladder his many friends hope he may succeed, and should this country ever go to war with foreign nation may our boy from Sharon be permitted to fire the shell that shall echo round the world.

 Canaan only got one man on first in the first inuing and he got no further. Then came Millerton with their streak of luck and the lost ball, which resulted in chalking up home run to Hughes credit. In the second Canaan went out in one-two-three order and Millerton succeeded in getting only one man as far as first. In the tn I'd Hughes for Millerton went out on hit to second out at first, Husted took second on Frank Stanton's error, Poole and J. Burns famed. In this inning Bills flied out to pitcher, Heffernan and R. Stanton famed. In the fourth Traver got first on an error in right field but failed to score as the other three up made goose eggs. Millerton went out in short order in the fifth and Canaan also failed to score.

CANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY AUGUST 12, 1909.

Ware, the celebrated diving dog, widely known under the stage name of Freddy Turtle" When @ stone was thrown some distance out into the lake the intrepid Dooley dove gallently off the pier, swan manfully out to the exact center of the widening nipples, pointed his little tail toward the stars, gave a few kicks and disappeared from view for some time, reappearing with the stone in his mouth. He repeated the trick several times and finally regained the pier where he very .modestly acknowledged the salvos of applause with which he was greeted.
 In the canoe doubles George Roberts and Stuart Ketcham carried off the blue ribbon, Dr. Russell and son second, Sherrill and Ernest Hawley third, Mary Mable and Miss Mac Williams fourth. In the double canoe race for women first honors were carried off by Miss Mabie and Miss acWilliams. second by Miss Mary Mulford and Miss Maud Lumb.
 J. Clinton Roraback and H. Morgan were slated for the tub race but owing to their inability to find tubs of appro- priate proportions this race was can celled.
 The result of the rowing races was as follows: Edgar Blake first, O. V. Sherrill second. In this race John O'Hara got away in fine style and had

 J. Clinton Roraback acted as official starter, with megaphone and pistol, and the first event was the race between launches of over three horse power. Five entered in this racs. The course was triangular, the boats circling flag opposite the end of the island and from there turning east to circle another flag near the old picnic ground from which the home stretch lay in straight line back to the start The launches circled the final flag Tn the following order; 0. s.

In the double rowing event there was a hot contest for first place between the boats manned by McLain and Sherman, Bodley and Anderson. A mishap in the latter's boat near the finish spoiled their chances and McLain and Sherman took this race with Blake and Reeves second.
 The surprise race was amusing. Three contestants swan from one pier to a second, there donned sundry feminine garments, sunbonnets, aprons, rubber boots, etc and proceeded to race back much to the amusement of the specta- tors. The winner was Jack Morgan. seo- ond MT. Russell, third O. V. Sherrill.
 The above events having been con- cluded the ball game was called between the Twin Lakes team and the Canaan Seconds. This was witnessed by quite number of people and resulted in tie with .the scofe 1l-11 at the end of the seventh.
 The most spectacular event of the day was the illuminated boat parade in the evening participated ill by about & dozen launches and other boats, which con- gregated in front of Robert Peirce's cot sage. Hundreds of Japanese lanterns illuminated the string of launches and

It Receives 2,OOO Abandoned Babies
 Every Year.
 In a niche above 8 doorway in a great building uptown is marble statue of a woman holding little child close to her breast. Beneath her, through a swinging door that has not been locked in Sorty years, women pass into the Found ling Hospital with their babies in their arms and come out with their arms empty. says the New .YoMx Sun.
 A single white cradle in the entry of a bare reception room receives and rescues nearly 2,O00 babies year, says Pearson's S Magazine. The room where the mothers relinquish their babies is called the sad dest place in New York.
 There is nothing in the receiving room but the little cradle and no one in sight, though a matron is always in waiting near by. She never forces a mother to confession, but if possible persuades her to tell why she wishes to desert her child and perhaps in- fuences her not to give it up but to begin life over again. A mother must understand that the choice is with her. The matron may give the mother ten or fifteen minutes in which to decide, but the choice is final.

EXPRESS D|TCHED
 NEAR CORNWALL
THREE CARS WERE DERAILED
Assistant Superintendent ]. w. Carr was Injured and Other Passengers Badly Shaken up-Tender Truck Caused the Trouble.

When the evening mail from the south failed to arrive Saturday inquiry brought out the fact that the Berk- shire express, which left New York at 3:30 and was due to arrive here at 6:47, had run off the track at Cornwall Bridge The accident happened as the train swung into the switch at that point going at a good rate of speed. The trains time there is fast but it was run ming on time when the accident hap pened. Assistant Superintendent J. W. Carr of the railroad was the only one injured.
 The first warning that something was wrong came as the engine and tender struck the switch. There was a jolt that threw the passengers out of their seats. The baggage car, buffet and parlor car, went off the track and pounded oyer the ties for about twelve car lengths and were stopped with another jerk by the application of the emergency brakes.
 I Assistant Superintendent J. w. Carr, who has only lately recovered from injuries received in a similar accident, happened to be on board the train. At the first warning of danger he ran to the platform of the car: where he was sit ting. He reached the steps just as the second shock came and was thrown violently of the train to the ground. His condition was such that he was at once removed to the hotel at Cornwall Bridge and from there taken to New Haveh for treatement. 1t was at first thought that his back had been injured or else that there were internal injuries but it is now believed that his condition is due only to the nervous shock.
 All of the passengers in the train were thrown violently from their seats but so far as could be found when they reached Canaan on relief train sent from Win sted to bring the passengers to the junction here, none had suffered any material injuries. There were 20 passen. gers. for the east and nine for the west. Of the latter five were bound for Lakeville, four for Ore Hill. They arrived in Canaan about midnight and were sent on their way east and west on special trains provided by the railroad company. A special was also sent down from Pittsfeld to carry passengers bound for that destination, So far as could be learned there were no passengers for Canaan.
 It was found that the cause of the dc. railment was one of the trucks on the tender. This had evidently been off the track for some little time prior to the accident, but it had not been noticed. When the engine started into the switch at good rate of speed, however, the de- railed truck tore up the track and conse- quently derailed the three following cars. The cars themselves remained up right and were uninjured, so that they were aftervard removed on their own trncks.

and then took chance on getting to third on his wishbone. The fact that the second baseman threw wild to third saved Bills life and brought him home for Canaan's 8 first run.
 Canaan made two more runs in the eighth on an error by first and hits by Brewer, R. Stanton, McCabe and O'Con- nor. Millerton also made one more in the ninth on errors by Bills and Demp- sey and hit by Hughes.
 McCabe was in the box throughout for Canaan and pitched a good game, striking out eight Hughes for Miller ton famed 12.

The others continued and the race was won by Ketcham first, Russel second.
 Three contestants entered in the short swimming race which resulted as follows: Jack Morgan first, Lswrrnce Eddy second, o. V. Sherrill third.

Company's weekly review Of trade to-
morrow Will say: ~
The near advent Of the holidays
and the close Of the year naturally
curtails operations in most primary
markets, though retail trade is cor
respondingly augmented and every in
dication points to a very large distri-
button Of merchandise.
The difficulty experienced by the
steel mills in making prompt deliver
les in the for some abatement
in the demand for finished products,
while the lull in pig iron buying is
becoming more pronounced produc-
ton rapidly ~overtaking consumptive
requirements.
Cotton goods are steadie and lar
ger purchases Of grain goods hav
been made on contract. Jobbers are
buying in a very limited way and are
taking their inventories.
Advance business for spring now being
charged is better than advance or
ders taken in the pas four jobbing

New business in boots and shoes
Is less in evidence but the demand has
shown a healthy Improvement. Trade
in leather continues quiet but the
market remains in a very strong posi-
ton.
