 Pine Grove Camp, August 17.-This is practically the last week of secular affairs at camp until after the Chau- tauqua and Camp meeting ends. Thus far life here has been mainly that of 8 very quiet, and pleasant summer colony. and what attractions there have been furnished by the Womsn's Association and the younger sets Tennis Club. These, however, have not been in any sense backward ; on the contrary they have managed to keep the social life of the camp quite up to an entertaining standard.
 Beginning next Sunday morning life here will take little different scope, for then begins the ChaatauqHa with public worship ut the usual morning hour and Sunday School at noon. All through that week there will be numer- ous attractions as announced in the programme, published exclusively in the NEWS of August {. ..E ..
 W1Iu buS Op5uluR UT Uu6 SnhuthuQuA there is sure to be an increase in the number of camp residents, and by the time the annual camp meeting opens the attendance here should be at its height.
 There are not as many on the grounds this year, up to the present time, as there have been ill years gone by. Many of the cottages are as yet closed, nor is there that stirring lite here that has marked the Grove colony of other days. I presume various reasons lmay be assigned for this, but those who are here are enjoying life pleasantly.
 Many are looking forward to the appearance of Fannie Crosby at the camp meeting, the world famous song writer, whose inspired hymns have stirred so many hearts in the days gone by and have been sung around the world. Bowed with weight of years and afflicted with blindness, Fannie Crosby is, nevertheless full of the spirit of truth, and that grand harmony which may be traced through all her songs is manifest in her charming personality and voiced in her testimony for Christ.

How The Political Game is Being
 Played By The State Politicians
Connecticut Statesmen Hold Their Annual Concave at Savin Roek-Prominent Candidates in Evidence Much Eating, Handshaking, Cigar Smoking and Wire Pulling.
Continued on page 5)

A bright and witty writer in the Waterbury American gives one of the best story of the gathering of the politi- cal hordes at Savin Rock last week pub- ishsd in any paper of the state. We learn from it that there was a terrible turmoil in politics down at Savin Rock last Wednesday. The turmoil whirled about the state legislative reunion, which has as its ostensible object the eating of a dinner at the Colonnade and as its real object the earnest, reverent and voluble of politics by every legislator, ex-legislator, candidate, aspirant, con- stable, Postmaster. sheriff, Town Clerk, probate judge, ward leader, delegate-to- the conventional 1882, intimate friend of Gov Buckingham, dairy commissioner, staff member and hanger-on of the Re- publican party who could spare the time, raise the money and make himself heard. There were 725 feeders at the dinner.
 Naturally the interest centered around the Bulkeley- Mclean and Goodwin. Lake fights. All four of these gentle men were there. The Bulkeley shouters got control of the Colonnade, which

9EAA\R 17.-Summer is wan
 AAT lns ns Ionp ona 1t s.for. %1.i this hGs delightful life out-of-doors will end and we will once more take up the duties and responsibilities of business life and domestic cares. But these days of the waning summer are among the grandest of the year. Here in the wildwood we appreciate them more than in the city. We feel nearer to the great heart of na- ture.
 There is in the odor of the woods, the breath of the flowers, the song of the birds, the beat of the waves against the shore, the ripple of the water along side the boat, an element of inspiration which raises one out of the orbit of self and throws the mental man into closer rap port with nature in all it's harmonious relationship.
 That this fact is appreciated by the many who are making the lake side their camping ground this season is evident from the delights expressed by one and all. That the season has been most enjoyable one here is attested by the re- marks one hears on every side. Unlike the majority of camping places, the Twin Lakes are in measure restricted to the few rather than the many.
 The grounds are not given over to promiscuous gatherings, as are the shore resorts. Rather is the settlement here @ family gathering, so to speak. People come here year after year because it is quite, and is away from the promiscuous crowd. and because, being as it is, the entire family may enjoy its manifold delights unrestrained, which could not be done were there the elements which go toward swelling the transient crowds of the free -for-al resort.
 There are many handsome cottages here, arranged with all the comforts of home, and the social life. limited though it is, is pleasant and wholesome. while the fishing in the lake is good and the boating excellent. It will be genuine regret when the time comes to break camp. Some are already doing this, for the call of business life has to be needed,

ID THE
 ANAN|AS CLUB
Fishing as it is In Canaan and Vicinity This Season-Some Big
 Catches

The Ananias club had special session Monday evening at Humphrys drug store to test candidates for membership One candidate said that while fly fishing recently he accidently landed one of his flies across a tempting spot and felt a mighty jerk on the line. He was not st first sure as to just what kind of a fish he had struck, but knew it was 8 large one. He played him for over an hour. The fish would rush first one way and then then another, and the line fairly whistled through the water. Finally he wore the fish out and brought it to land. Instead of fish it proved to be an immense muskrat. The hooks had settled over it's body and caught so fast in the fur and hide, it was impossible for the animal to break loose. He was landed on light fly rod and weighed about 15 pounds.
 Another aspirant thought that a pretty fair fish story, but did not think it equalled days fishing he had in the Konkapoot. He stood in front of Humphreys store that morning and cast fly over the tops of several build ings into quite pool of the river and landed one of the handsomest mackeral he ever saw.
 A bystander who had heard the stories said that while those might satisfy amatures they did not compare with the cinch that a young man at Twin Lakes had on fishing. He might be seen any morning when the weather was right, standing on the bank of lake Washanee whistling, His voice was so sweet that the charmed fish came right out of the water and marched Indian file to this mans cottage to the music of his soft whistle and as the fish passed along each was knocked in head with a club and some big ones were thus caught.
 Without 8 dissenting voice the narrator was voted life member of the Ananias club and the others were placed on probation and given second trial in the membership competition.

The name of Theodore Roosevelt for Temporary Chairman of. the New York State Convention, reject ed by the state committee, by a vote of 90 to Is, and the selection of Vice President Sherman instead, marks the petty revenge of Billy Barnes of the Albany machine, and a small corterie of self-admiring political bosses of kindred ilk, who are quak- ing in their shoes through fear that if Roosevelt comes back there will be apower injected into state poli- tics which they can't down, hence their efforts to prevent such come s back The end of this act is yet to come and Roosevelt, we believe, will not only "come back" but will be powerful factor in the political fu- ture.
