Dennis Moran of 27 South B street, who works on the Ponemah farm and is gardener for Agent John Eccles. has been reused to righteous indignation by what he unquestionably believes is the poisoning of a favorite hound. MT. Moran feels that there are people in the village who would get even with him for stopping them crossing his garden, by doing just such thing as batting a palagable looking piece Of meat with arsenic and placing it be- fore his dogs.
 He has two dogs, one an S-Year-oId hound, the other a harrier. Both ap- peared i'll Sunday and when he let the former dog loose Monday the animal was considerably swelled. Since that time although he has searched the neighborhood. MT. Moran has not seen the hound and he believes that the dog went off and died. The other dog evidently did not take so much poison for it is recovering.

 Forty Years at Block Island.
 For more than forty years now Mr. Gilbert has been spending considera b1e of the summer at Block Island. His memory runs back to the time when there was but one hotel on the Island and he has seen the changes and de- velopmenus that have made it a mod ern summer resort With all the changes, the health giving sea breezes have been the same and he is expect ing to spend another summer there at the Adrian, which is the hostelry where he has stayed for a number of years past. Forecaster Johnson refers in his last letter to another summer at the island, and speaks of taking over his 35-foot launch, which he says is a fine, sea worthy boat in which he will be pleased to entertain his friends In talking with Mir. Johnson, MT. Gil- bert has become firmly convinced that there is a good deal more than chance when Horace hits it right on the weather, and he thinks the state made a mistake when it refused to have anything to do with the prophets scheme for educating young men in the reading of the weather signs that Horace has studied out. From what MT. Gilbert has heard of Weather Prophet Johnson's apparatus at Mid dle Haddam, he would be interested in investigating it himself, but he is hoping first that he may induce MT Johnson to be his guest here during the coming summer.

CORNELL'S CHOPPY
STROKE WINS.
ithaca Crew Beats Harvard Varsity by
a Leneth-Freshmen Win by Six.

Boston, May 30.-Sixteen strong
armed Cornell oarsmen swept Charles
river today, the varsity crew defeating
Harvard in a beautiful race by fun
length. while the freshmen completely
outclaSsed the crimson eight, winning
by six lengths.
1t was Cornel's short, choppy stroke
that proved superior to Harvard's long
rhythmic swing. The Harvard oars
men seemed TO have plenty of power,
but for some reason Stroke Cutler was
content with an even 32 from start to
finish, and although this held Cornell
for the first mile in rough water, in
the last half of the race Cornells swift
paddles and numerous spurts drove
their shell steadily away and there
was a bit of open water between the
cedar boats as they darted across the
line. The time on the varsity race
was Cornell 11.23, Harvard 11.27. On
the freshman race it was Cornell 11.15,
Harvard 11-36.
The Caseadilla school of ithaca top
ped off the day of victories by defeat
ing the Stone school of Boston by two

kveen the years 1900 and 1906, accord
sng to the special census report on

now IN press.
Out of every 1000 people in the $50

those which had a population of moro
than $4,000. there were 469 church
members, while for the area outside
these cities were 363, and for the en-
tire country there was 391. As COM
pared with 1880 the report shows a
gain of 80 commandments in each 1000
of population for the principal cities
and a gain of 81 outside of them.
Female members in 1906 outnum-
bered the male members by 81 per
cent. In continental United States,
while in the principal cities the excess
of female members was proportionate-
7y less, being 960.526. or 23.5 per cent.
