They'll Never Elect
 This Fellow Again,

Hartford, Dec. 29.-In a town not a thousand miles from Hartford-a town where a nomination on the Republi- can ticket is equivalent to an cleo tion-it has always been the custom for the newly elected representative to entertain the town committee and other workers of his party at the polls with an elaborate spread on election night at one of Hartford's best hos telries.
 Owing to the spirited contest in con- nection with the United States sena- paid this year to the entertainment feature in selecting the nominee as usual. After the caucus and the smoke of battle had cleared away, it was whispered about among the boys: will he make good?''
 ''I don't think so,'' muttered one, doubtfully.
 "Sure he will,'' insisted another "Why the meanest man this town ev- CT elected, gave us a blowout, didn't he?'
 seYes, but what kind of a. blowout was it? Didn't have no oysters on the half-shell, did we?'
 That's so."
 "Nor cocktails, nor wine, nor ci- gars, nor"
 Cocktails, oysters on the half shell; say, he don't know to-day what a cocktail is, and as for oysters on the half shell, why he never saw one"
 "He done the best he knew,' broke in an old-timer, Its the best he knew. Why, there's lots CT fellers gits ter be representatives that comes through the whole session without any lunch and brings home every cent of their salary. An if what I've heerd tell is true some on 'eIn-''
 Never mind that" interrupted the practical politician. what we want to know now is, Will this chap set 'em up?"
 Election night came, and the boys were tired and hungry, for the day had been a strenuous one. Eagerly they watched the counting, which ow- ing to the number of split tickets was necessarily slow and ran far into the evening.
 The candidate for representative hung around only long enough to find out that his election was assured then said:
 That settles it. Now I'm going home and get good dinner, I'm nearly starved" and without even sayiag goodnight, he left the crowd that had made him a possibility with their eyes bulging and mouths water ing.
 There was but one in the party who had sufficient strength to even whis- per. Turning sadly to the chairman of the town committee he gasped:

Headache Waters Bring
 Death to Hartford Man.

Hartford, Dec. 29.-John J. Daily, 9 years of age, died at his boarding house at No. 324 Trumbull street Sun- day evening and Medical Examiner H. s. Fuller is of the opinion that death was due to poisoning from head ache wafers wh; oh Daily had been &C., customed to take as a remedy.
 Daly had been subject to pains in the stomach for some time and on Friday had a severe attack Sunday Dr. George R. Miller was called in and gave the man some medicine. He called again in the afternoon and Dr. Miller advised him to go to a hospital but this Daly did not want to do. He died shortly after.
 pr. Fuller and pr. Miller investigat- ed he case and found box that had contained a dozen headache waters and an ingredient of these, pr. Full Ter said was acetanilid. Medical Ex- aqniner Fuller said that one powder contained four grains which was all together too much to pass out to the public. He understood that the man had taken two of these powders and three of them would probably have been sufficient to cause death if he was in a weakened condition. There were five powders left in the box so that if was not possible to state how many the man had taken on this last occa sion. Dr. Fuller thought that death was accidental.
 MT. Daily had worked for George W woolley & Son for many years and about a year ago went with the Hart ford Rubber Works company. He returned to the Woolley firm about a week ago.

Rev. J. D. Kennedy Ill At Danbury And In
 Serious Condition.

Rev J. D. Kennedy, rector of St. Joseph's church Danbury, is seriously i'll at the parochial residence in Dan bury. He has been suffering from gastric fever. and recently pneumonia threatened to develop. At the pres ent time he is said to be out of danger, although he is still a very sick man.
 For the past two weeks, Drs. Strat- ton and Selleck of Danbury have been attending Father Kennedy, and worh- ing hard to carry him over the crit ical periods./ Several local priests, friends of and at one time co-worhers with Father Kennedy, have been at his bedside whenever they could spare the time from their own parish duties
 Father Kennedy'S present trouble is said to have been brought on by the tremendous strain he was compelled to undergo in settling the hatters' strike of few years ago. At the time he spent many months in working up plans by. which the matters and em- ploNers could settle the strife that was working havoc in his town.
 Father Kennedy was often at work orr the labor problem all the night long. and then would attend to the duties of his parish the next day. He had been known to return from a tire some days conference with the labor men in New York city to go to the bedside of sick person to spend hours there.
 While Father Kennedy won a nota- ble victory in settling. the matters dispute, his health was gradually tn- dermined. until the breaking point was reached. He gave up only when nature no longer would allow him to keep going.
 Previously to handling the labor trouble Father Kennedy had estab- lished St. Joseph's parish single hand ed doing work that was almost Her. culean. In only a few years from the time Bishop Tierney divided the Dan bury parish, Father Kennedy built his church and the paroch al residence and then freed them entirely from debt and has succeeded in making his parish one of the most prosperous in the diocese.
 Father Kennedy has hundreds of friends in this city who hope for his early recovery and return to his for mer good health. He has been Ma tiona1 Chaplain of the A. O. H.

New York, Dec. 29.-The German ! system of supervising the health of l hotel employees for the protection of -uests is being put into force in the larger New York Hotels.N A large Broadway hostelry employing 45O ser wants put the system into operation this week.
 The serving of food by infected waters lmper'lS the health of. pa- irons. according to sanitariums. "The hotel guest, said one manager, in speaking of the innovation, "is at the mercy of the management of the hotel which he patronizes in respect to the selection of employees. A hotel ought to protect its guests from diseases Just as any private householder would protect himself and family"
 "Only recently it was brought to my attention that man and his wife and child who had been staying at a hotel. whose name should have been 8 guarantee for the utmost cleanliness became infected with a horrible skin disease. It was learned that a scrub woman who suffered from the disease guests room. The disease had been communicated to a cut lip and thence to his wife and child"
 The question of requiring similar in- spection of dining car walters pre- sents more difficult aspects to the health authorities attempting to solve the problem. They point out that Congress should authorize a National Health Bureau, as recommended in the presidents message, one of the towers of which might be to super wise the sanitation of interstate car- riers.

Irish Patriot,
 In New London,

Not Many Men Alive To-day Who Have Had Capt. Con

New London, Dec. 29.-How many persons are alive to-day, who can boast or having been sentenced to death and escaped not only the execu. tlon or sentence, but life sentence i? capt. Edward O'Mara Condon. who is here for brief visit can.
 capt. Condon is known as the Irish patrlot ana in Ireland his name is reversed. It was in England where the captain was sentenced to deatb
 he was one of band ofgsturdy Irish patriots that tried to liberate Fenians imprisoned at Manchester. The bold attempt failed, the Irish patriots were captured and all were Sentenced to death. 'o
 Finally the sentence was comnuted 10 lire Imprisonment and the captain served F years in prison Then of nces m his behalf were made by Sec retary Blaine and Minister Walsh. captain Condon was liberated then on tne proviso that he should not visit Great Britain within 20 years time.
 He came immediately to America. Where he had previously made his nome. and has since been here, being m the government service for the greater part of the time. He visit ed Ireland year or two ago and re- ceived great ovation, being acclaim ed as a patriot. With him on the trip was another of the band that at tempted the liberation of the Fenians at Manchester and his colleague re- ceived an equal ovation.
 He gets the title of captain from his services in the civil war as captain of the we'll known Tammany regiment in New York city. It was after serving in this regiment that he went to Ire land.
 Captain Condon is in great demand in his travels through the country as a lecturer. He delivers patriotic Irish addresses and has gathered a reputs- tion as an authority on Irish litera- ture and history. Captain Condon is now an inspector of public buildings for the treasury department and is here to inspect the local postoffice building. He visits New London ey- cry year or two.
 The captain is much interested in athletics and witnessed many Gaelic football games on his recent visit to Ireland. He thinks that our game of football is rather rougher. He is very proud of the endurance and stamina of Irish athletes and believes them second to none in this respect.
 Captain Condon has many friends here as is the fact in every city he visits. Last time he was here for sev- eral weeks. He is a fascinating con- versationahst, full of anecdotes of ad- venture and he has story of his own life to tell not lacking in ex- citement and interest.

FIRES BREAK ALL
 NEW HAVEN RECORDS

New Haven, Dec. 29.-With but two days of the old year left officials of the fire department are now positive that the record of 1910 for the num- f,er of fires, the amount of damage and the loss of life will exceed any other year in the history of the de- partment. The jail fire tragedy stands of the present fire officials. The near est thing to this misfortune was that at the old Judson packing house blaze on Winchester avenue in 1901 in which four firemen were killed. One thing in the records is especially noteworthy and is important in show ing the seriousness of this years fires and that is the number of second alarms, nine of which were rung in this year with two third alarms. while in former years record of three or four second alarms was con- eidered out of the ordinary.

Quillings of taFeta or soft silk are very effective when used as a trim ming on gowns. For outlining tunics or over-dresses, or for similar pur- nose on sleeves and cuffs, they give a tone to a garment often impossible with a more elaborate trimming.
