Dogs Chase Deer.

A smal,; deer was being chased by two dogs lae. week in the upper part of Westport The little creature was going down one side of the a fence, being hotly pursued by the dogs, when an opportunity was Sffered he jump ed the fence and the logs lost his trail. Meantime the deer walked along the fence and jumping do yn on the other side ran. The dogs sOo1 got on his track again, but a man droSS them off. It is getting to be quite a som mon occurrence to see dogs chasing deers in WestpOrt. s'
 Jumped from Second Floor being in flames, Mrs. George Benjamin commanded her infant son to jump a second story into her arms. The lad jumped. He escaped unharmed, but the mother frail woman, was dashed to the ground and. badly bruised and cut. A wing of the house was completely gutted. The origin posed that the oil stove exploded. The loss is estimated at about $200 fully covered by insurance.
 A portion of the roof and upper story of the former l.. F. TreadWell homstead at Danbury was burned away Monday morning by a fire of unknown origin, causing a loss that is estimated at $2,0C0. The house is the property of F. D. Marsh and is leased by Letter Carrier Philip F. Owen, who sublets the upper floor to Mrs. Alice Carrodus.
 The fire apparently caught in the attic over the room that Mrs. Carro- dus used as a kitchen. From appear ances it is thought to have caught from the chimney as two large holes in the chimney that had apparently been there for isome time, were dis covered when the roof was torn away. The largest loss is to the building, although MT. and Mrs. Owen lost much of their property and Mrs. Car rodus lost much of hers. The entire loss is covered by insurance.
 Struck by Motorcycle.
 Mrs. Anna Swartout, was struck by a. motorcycle, ridden by Oscar Roeh- der, at Shelton, Saturday morning, as both were on their way to their respective places of business. Mrs. Swartout was rendered unconscious by the blow and while no bones were broken was badly shaken and consid- erably bruised.

 Scared by Blackhand.
 That one letter from the Black Hand Society is about sufficient for the av- craze person, is the opinion of Vito Carella, who runs a small .shoemaker's shop at Noroton. Last Thursday, Vito received a letter from the Black Hand demanding s150, the refusal of which meant his departure from this world No place was mentioned where the money was to be delivered but he was given twenty days to think it over, at the end of which tifEe a second letter would be sent. It is supposed this missive would contain instructions. # The letter bore the postn1ark Noro- ton, and Carella, who is a quiet, in- dustrious fellow, trying hard to e4Se out few sayings that he might bring his wife and three children to this country, never had any idea he had any enemies. His family are at pres- ent in Venoncia, Italy. Lugi Gugliano, also a cobbler, has shop in Glen- brook. Carella had barely received the letter before he locked his shop door and went to Glenbrook, and con- suited his brother-in-law. It was de- cfded to leave the Noroton shop in Gugliano's charge. Carella not wish ing to wait twenty days to see what the second letter might say. He im- mediately went to New York, and took passage for Italy.

 Lo:t Many Oysters.
 James A. Sn..th. the South Norwalk oysterman repor,s the loss of a thou sand bushels of small. oysters on his grounds near Pilot Island in peculiar manner. A tow and string or oarges anchored on the grounds during re- cent storm, and the .barges not only crushed and pushed the oysters deep in the mud. but they made long holes in the oyster beds, which will preclude the using of dredges on 1t for seVerel years. An oystermen who had some stock near by lost some large oysters in the same way.
 Flowed up Relics.
 While w. F. Norris was blowing in his orchard in Plumtree district, Bethel, recently his blow struck some obstruction. Investigations showed that he had run the blow into mass of metal There were bayonets. parts of saddles, parts of harness, powder flasks of zinc and copper, and an dirons. Various theories to account for the buried articles are advanced. one of them, and probably the most reasonable is that they were buried by colonists or soldiers during the Revolutionary war.
 Less Than Par Offered.
 The town of Stamford has failed to get a. par bid for the $220,000 Of school bonds it is endeavoring to float. There were two bidders-N. w. Harris & Co. of New York, and Merrill, Oldham & Co, of Boston. Neither bid could be considered. because both were below par. The legislative authority to is- sue these bonds stipulated that no bid below par be accepted and that the interest on the bonds be not in ex- cess of 4 per cent These are cOndi- tions which, in the present state of

It is intimated from Washington that Representative Hill will support, actively. the Mclean candidacy for Senator, and it is believed that this will greatly strengthen McLeans fight against Bulkeiey. Presumably. this not only means that Hill is grateful for McLean's support against Brande- gee. but also that Mclean, if elected. will aid Hill against Brande- gee when the latter's term expires. But Mir. Hill will probably find. as he did on the previous occasion. the flaw ley county machine arrayed against him. and thus against his efforts to aid Mclean.

At recent conference of con1rnercia; organizations in New York city, called for the purpose of attacking the al- legged extortions of the express com panies, Frederick B. De Berard sub- mitted a report of his inquiry into ex- press capital. earnings and rates. His conclusions were:
 l. That the returns from capital the operation of express service are rom z3 per cent. to 115 per cent. or mora
 2. That the rates which yield these
 excessive returns should be reduced to a basis which would afford only a value of the property employed
 B. That the present basis of rates. besides being excessive. is false and unjust, as 1t imposes widely varying charges for nearly identical services.
 l. That the entire system of express rates should be readjusted by the In- fer-State Commerce Commission on a basis which shall provide for: Trans pCrtatfon charges based on distance, and graduated in proportion to weight. size, and possibly value in certain classes; terminal charges based upon wagon service, and applying uniform " to all shipments. irrespective of the distance between points of shipment and delivery.
 Commenting upon these conclusions. a New York paper says:
 We think that in the process of reaching these conclusions this inyes- tigator has made very liberal allow ances to the express companies and has underestimated the profits from actual investment in their business. Yet there is no question that the nfh hnr- of the United States are entitled to relief from charges which bear no relation to capital invested. and which outrage the principle, so often laid down by the courts. that a public ser vice corporation has no right to col iect more than fair return on the capital actually used in giving the service As we have often shown. too, the result of these unjust charges to small shippers is big factor in high prices for necessaries of life, because they prevent direct communication of manufacturers and producers with consumers and give the great indus trial combinations an advantage over small competitors.

HARMONY OF DRESS.

A beautiful woman also studies the harmony of painting a well kept home; takes care to have the house painted with paint that will continue to look bright, clean and fresh look ing. The l.. & M. never becomes dingy, because only chemically pure colors are used; only the finest White Oxide made from metal; only the finest White Lead; only the purest Linseed Oil; only expert paintmakers produce it with machinery-a thou sand gallons at a time. Contrast this with the costly and crude production of White Lead Paint made by hand labor with a stick in a pot-a few gallons at a time. l.. & M. is sold by Harry Rider, Bridgeport; Northrcp Bros, Southport; D.

NEW FUNCTION" IN CONGRESS.

The Payne -Aldrich tariff law pro- vided for the creation of a tariff board This provision was only al- lowed to pass. after being so amended as to restrict the boards activities to ascertainfng for the President what countries should be given the maxi mum or minimum tariff rates. It was further hampered. probably purposely, by a failure to provide for its ex- penses.
 President Taft appointed the board promptly. and its members are not regarded by the high protectionists as rig1dly orthodox; indeed. one organ has called them free traders" The President also interpreted the law as giving the board full authority to in vestigate all tariff problems. and he has now asked for an appropriation of $250.000 for the boards expenses.
 The matter has raised e fresh ''ruc- tion'' ih Congress Insurgents and Democrats are endorsing the Presi- dents appeal for funds; the Republi- can regulars. led by Aldrich. Payne, and others of the high protective stripe. are antagonizing it. The latter fear that it will lead to a. new tariff revision and might endanger the fat piclrings provided for their proteges in the present tariff.
 The Republican regulars have not at any time evinced enthusiasm in sup port of President Taft's policies; his railroad bill and now his position up- on the tarif question are not to their liking. They gave the former a per functory support in the House, with evident knowledge that the Senate would materially amend it.
 The Insurgents are developing clearly their policy of treating every meas ure upon it's merits. whatever its po- litical effect or whoever's tag it bears
 Our own belief is that the tariff boafd can. if it wishes. do a great public service, and that Congress should grant the appropriation asked for by President Taft. The tariff should be changed. radically in some of it's sched- ules.

Now that summer weather approaches every one who has a veranda will be making it into a pleas ant living room. If a porch is enclosed with .Vudor Shades it is as private and secluded as an indoor room. Vudor Shades are made of strong, straight grained strips of wood, woven together and ap- piled to stout and durable fixtures. They are stained in soft dull green or brown, pleasant to the eye, and they serve to keep out too hot sunshine and too cool breezes. These are dimen- sions with prices. Easy and quick to adjust:
