STATESANIT0RIUMS
 READY FOR OCCUPANCY
Fairfield County Institution Will Contain O8 dsWaer Hard
 to Get For Hartford County institution

The three state tuberculosis sana- tariums are nearly ready to receive patients, and the question now before the commission is what names to give the institutions. It has been sug- gested however, that they be named in honor of ex-Governor R. s. Wood ruff, the late Governor G. L. Lilley, and the present head of the state, Governor F. B. Weeks It was through the efforts of MT. Woodruff that the question was first brought before the General Assembly. and through the efforts of the succeeding governors that the bill was passed and the com- mission created.
 The institutions are situated in Fair field, New Haven and Hartford coun- ties.
 The Fairfield county sanitarium at Shelton will house 1OS patients Dr. William Stockwell, who for the past few years has been practicing in Suf- field, will act as superintendent and Miss Anna Lockerty ,who has been acting as matron in private sanitari- ums for the past few years, will be the matron. Patients will be taken at this sanitarium on and after Aug l.

JUDGE ROBERTS0N'S STATEMENT ABOUT UTILITIES AGITATION
 STIRS STATE BUSINESS MEN
New Haven Road Director in Published Interview Says Proposed New Elm City Depot and Stamford Identification Held up Until Bill Has Been Disposed of by
 Next Legislature

New Haven, July 11.-Consiier-
 able stir has been created among
 business men and others in this city
 and elsewhere in the state, by a pub
 lished interview with Director A.
 Heaton Robertson of the New Haven
 Railroad, in which he was quoted as
 saying that the new s1,500,0O0 depot for New Haven and the $10,000, 900 extension of the electrical zone east of Stamford will practically be aban- doned until this agitation regarding tthe proposed Public Utilities bill has been desposed of by the next Legis- lature. While some opinions were expressed, most business men were | so astounded they wanted more time to consider the matter. President Jones, of the State association, called it absurd.
 The crux of the interview reads l this way:
 'T do not think the depot will be | built while this agitation is on.''
 And what agitation do you refer to?"
 70, this talk about the public utili- ties bill and other things" | Continuing, Judge Robertson said | the road had planned to erect in New Haven a depot costing s1,5O0,0O0, but he said he could not feel like sane tioning it while the agitation which he had explained generally was on. What about the continuance of the electrifcation of the system ?''

WHY JEFFRIES LOST.
If He Had Only Been Tipped Off Right on the Brand of Tobaccos
 He'd Won.

Jeffries could and should have won the fight with Johnson. It was his own fault that he did not. Now lis ten and learn why. It is known every where that Jeffries is a great smoker. So was Napoleon. Daniel Webster. General Grant. all great leaders of men, These great men. however. were unlike Jeffries in that they knew the kind of tobacco to smoke. Jeffries would puff away at any kind of old weed Had he been careful and smoked the best-say for instance any of the brands that is handled by D. D. Smith at his Fairfield avenue em- porfun1-there would have heen no question of the result. All of the lead CTS of men in these parts know the kind of tobacco that Dan Smith han d1es just as all of the up-to-date sportsmen know the kind of equipment he deals in for huntsmen as well as for the followers of Isaac Walton. No matter what you may need in the line of tobaccos or cigars there is no place where better goods for the money can be had Why 1t is common knowl- edge that the famous users of the de- licious nicotine weed all up and down the Naugy and Housatonic valleys come to Dan Smiths for their brand
 It's too bad that Jeffries wasn't piped off in time. Had he been he would have put it all over the big Smoke"

located at Meriden, will be ready for patients in about three weeks. Dr. J. B. Dinnan, who has been a practicing physician and surgeon in Meriden, will have charge, and Miss MacAmee will act as matron. The building here was originally the Undercliff Sanitarium, with only twenty-five beds, but now additions have been made, so that 10 patients may be accommodated.
 At the Hartford country sanitarium, located on Newington mountain, the buildings are nearly complete, but there is still trouble in getting water. The artesian we'll has been sunk more than 400 feet, but the result is only three gallons of water a minute when it should be forty gallons. It is be- lieved however that the drill is near ly through the trap rock and will strike a large vein of water within a few days. The sanitarium will ac- commodate 114 patients. pr. Richard Moriarity will be the physician in charge, but the matron has not been chosen yet.
 Dr. Henry c. Clifford of this city has been appointed medical director of the Hartford county sanitarium and surgeon-in chief of all the sanitariums. The commission in charge of this work is composed of Dr. George H. Knight, John F. Gunshanan and George E. Hall, with George I. Allen clerk.

 That is the same thing. replied the judge.
 ''It is estimated that would entail an expenditure of S1O,000,000. should not think the road would go into such expenditure at the present moment"
 ROBERTSON ENIGMATICAL.
 Judge Robertson, when asked re- garding the interview last night, said: T may have said it" and I may not I don't know what the circumstances may have been which governed my utterance." Tn other words, he said if people not conversant with the con- ducting of great railroad corpora ton were going to run fthat corpora tion instead of the directors, that would make some difference. And he asked the reporter if it wouldn't That was all he would say.
 President Mellen was out of the city last night and could not be reached.
 Vice President E. H. McHenry ot the road, who has charge of the Stamford electrifination and much of the new work on the road, said re- garding Judge Robertson's utterance:
 "A director is director, and is better fitted to know what he is talk ing about than I am. I have no rea- son to doubt the. correctness of his views on this matter, but wouldn't say whether it would be so or not"

1t Is one thing to be a charming and
gracious hostess-it is another to be an
agreeable guest. In the home of DR.. and
Mrs. Frank L. Whitman at present there
are both. Mrs. Whitman has entertained
this week very informally two attractive
guests. They are Miss Cola Barr Craig
of Selma, who is a lovely blond, and
Miss Margaret Houston, also of Selma
These two young ladies represent en-
tirely different types of beauty, Miss
Houston being a decided brunette, tall
and slender. Her portrait appears In to-
days issue of The Age-Herald.
Two attractive visitors who have been
present at all the society functions of the
week were Miss Mary Brown of Atlanta
and Miss Bette Holman of Indianapolis.
They were the guests of Mrs. Roberta
Kolb and Miss Annie Kolb on Seven
teenth street. Miss Brown was already
a favorite visitor here since she was the
guest last summer of Mr.. and Mrs. W. D.
Nesbitt. She is a brunette with bright
brown eyes and a vivacity most charm
ing Miss Holman, who leaves today for
her home, made many admirers while
here by her delightful personality. Their
pictures are also reproduced here today.
Miss Annie Kolb, their hostess, returned
this summer from Columbia university,
where she graduated with distinction.
She is most unusual, since she is
superb artist in all the athletics. splen-
did swimmer, a mistress OF fencing and
fine oarswoman. She will remain with
her mother during the summer but she
expects to spend the winter at their
old home in Georgia.
One of the most admired visitors dur
ing the season was Miss Richardson,
Miss Ellen Percys guest, who left this
week for her home She made many
friends while here and was one OF the
sweetest and most popular visitors Bir-
mingham has had in long time.
So, although the weather has been in
clement and in many instances a de-
cided drawback to pleasure, visiting girls
and their hostesses are keeping things
from stagnatfng, and when the weather
becomes too hot for dancing, and the
young people leave for homes and re-
