MARRIAGE A FAILURE. Canaan Woman Gets a
 Divorce for DeseTtiOn
She Tells in Court the Story of Her Unhappy Exper- fence, and is Given
 Custody of Her
 Daughter.

At the June term of the Superior Court at Winsted, the divorce case of Mrs. Emma L. Holt of Canaan, came up before Judge William s. Case on short calendar, last Friday and the applicant was granted divorce from her hus- band, Frank W. Holt of New Haven, on the ground of desertion. She was granted the custody of their nine year old daughter.
 In her testimony before the court Mrs. Holt said that she was married to Frank w. Holt on September 7, 1900 and went to live with her father, Frank s. Joyner, in Canaan. Later, with her husband, she made her home in New Haven.
 A Deserted Wife ... .
 In April, 1906, while they were living in New Haven, he took his clothes and left her and would not let her know where he was staying. She sent her daughter to her fathers in Canaan and went to work in a department store, finally returning to her fathers. She went back to live with her husband in November, 1906, at his request. She re- turned to her fathers on Christmas eve, expecting he would come the next day for visit. He failed to come and sent no word to her. About ten days later he was driving by the house and told her her trunk was at the Canaan station and that he would never live with her again.
 Another Woman in Evidence
 Mrs. Holt further testified that at one time she discovered letter addressed to him from another woman, in which the writer said it would break her heart if he ever went to live with his wife again. Witness said she did not have the letter now as he got it away from her. At the time he was in Canaan he was then on his way to see the lady. She lived near the Massachusetts line. She had since written him for financial assistance and he replied that if she ever wrote again for money she would get reply she would not like. She had since worked in the Canfeld Inn in Canaan. Mrs. Holt's father was also called as a wit ness. l.. J. Nickerson appeared as counsel.

Cottagers, Con- mence Gather ing at Their
 Summer
 Home.
BALSAMIC
 ODOR of PINE
And Beauty of Dingle, Woods and Lakes, Impart, New Life to Jaded Nerves and Afford The Tonic That is Unsurpassed.

The annual influx of summer residents to the beautiful Twin Lakes has set in, and from now on the summer colony will increase numerically as each passing day adds to the list of the newly arrived. Each passing year seems to add new at- fractions to this delightful spot. Nature has been lavish with her gifts and has richly endowed the Lake vicinity. The balsamic ordor of the pine woods, affords a life-giving tonic to those of jaded nerves, while to the lover of nature, the beauty of the lakes, appeals with yearn- ing force, as mirrored III their crystal depths are pictured the grandeur of sur rounding hills, rich in the verdure of summer time.
 There is. amid these wooded hills, and shaded dells, touch of that sublimity in nature which appeals to the human heart with an intensity that robs it of the common place and carries one into the realm of the ideal. Amid scenes such as this, it is hardly to be wondered that from far and near people journey to the Lakes, like the pilgrims of old to the shrine of mecca, there to live anew and closer cling to natures heart
 It is time of busy activity. Cot tages, closed through the long winter months are being opened and aired and rehabilitated, and ring once again with merry laughter, as young, old and middle aged come dropping back to enjoy the woodland solitudes or bask upon the shores of the crystal lakes.
 Among the arrivals THE NEWS notes the following:
 Among the Cottagers
 Arthur Goodrich, and family of Mid dletown, came. last week and are occupy ing the O'Hara farm house for the sum- msr.
 Miss Annie Golden Bartlett has opened her cottage here for the season.

A Notable Event

A Notable Event
 The twelfth annual concerts of the Litchfield County Choral Union was held at the Music Shed on MT. Stoeckel's beautiful estate in Narfolk on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday of last week, June and ?. The weather was anything but June-like, yet for all that there was no rain at the critical times and the hosts assembled and en- joyed the concerts in spite of the weather.
 It was the first season in the remodeled and enlarged muslc shed, and those familiar with the shed were interested in the changes. The building had been sawed in two and the stage end had been moved west thirty feet. This in creased the seating capacity of both floor and stage. The latter has been entirely remodeled and greatly improved. It now seats 425 in the chorus and 10 in the orchestra, which number MT. Paine had before him in these concerts.

The chorus vo1ce-a great composite voice-was never wheezy or strident, but ever smooth and full, even in pianissimo passages. It was a seasoned chorus, for most of the members had sung these works before. The repetition of works which had been sung by portions of the chorus proved very successful.
 Personnel ot the Chorus
 The Requiem Mass by Verdi was sung by the Union in Winsted in 1904, and the Hiawatha music of Coleridge. Taylor n 1901. The Union was then composed of the Winsted Choral Union and the Norfolk Glee Club. Portions of these two choruses and of the Torrington

the umpire will be the reigning
power on the diamond. The most
striking feature Of the revised rules
which have just been given out here is
the Importance which the powers and
duties of the umpires held in the mind
of the revisionists. This innovation is
generally held to be a result mainly of
the efforts of President Thomas j.
Lynch, of the National League, who
used to be an umpire himself and Is
thoroughly familiar with the handicaps
under which that official labors.
A double umpire system for all games
Is officially established by the new
rules. The umpire-in-chief, stationed
behind the bat, will have full charge
of the game, and will alone have au-
thority to declare Il game forfeited.
The field umpire has full authority in
removing and filming players.
The two officials must work in har-
mony, and in case a point is raised on
a decision one umpire may ask for in
formation from the other. But one UNI
pire will not interfere with the other
unless requested.
The revised rules give the umpire alb
solute power over the players on the
bench. This feature has. long been a
hobby with the National League presi-
dent, and aims to do ava with all the
rowdyism from that quarter which has
frequently disturbed the game in the
past.
A new rule gives the ~base-runner the
privilege of turning to either the right
or left after touching first base, where
heretofore he was compelled to turn 10
the right.
