Stayed Too Late.

When the people on one of the streets in the north part of the city awOke early this morning they were surpris- ed to find an automobile standing in front of a house, in the same position that it was when they went to bed the night before. The automobile was driven onto the street to bring two young men from Bethel to call upon some we'll known young ladies and in- vestigation disclosed the fact that the young men were asleep in the auto It appeared that when it finally be- came necessary for them to leave the home of the young ladies at an ex- termely late hour, it was so very late that they did not wish to attempt to go homt, so spent the remainder of the night in the auto.-Danbury News 21st.

 A Shooting Affray.
 Edward Nelson, a Swede living in Georgetown, is in the Norwalk hospi- tai, suffering from a revolver wound in his leg. It appears that Nelson and two persons named Frederickson, had been out together Saturday evening. On their return to the Frederickson home they found an Italian there. They started in to do the man up, but he drew a revolver, and fired several shots. The first bullet entered Nelson's thigh, while the second bull let went through Gus Frederickson's hand. Neither was very seriously in jured. Nothing has been heard from the Italian since the affair.

What will happen when Teddy comes Home,'' is the caption of an article in the June American Maga- zine. Promising that the Ex-Presi- dent is still popular, the writer says:
 Think of the men and institutions that have hated him and have wish ed to destroy him-Hanna, Whitney, Mckinley, Quay, Platt, Foraker, Can non, Aldrich, Hale, most of the law yers, most of the members of the Supreme Court and the inferior fed eral judiciary, Pierpont Morgan, Har- -iman, J. J. Hill, the great industrial corporations, the railway companies, She banks, many powerful newspa- pers, college presidents, organization republicans, organization democrats and altogether they have not only not stopped his political career, but they have actually accelerated it. If he were a little older we might know what to do with him, but he is in his prime, and he is as charged with energy as when he left Harvard. His enemies, and they are the bittereSt enemies that mortal man ever made, can only hope for chance to end his strange political career-chance or the habit of the American people of building a triumphal arch hurriedly out of bricks so that they'll have something to throw at the hero when he has passed through.

State Senator McGovern of Hart ford has lately visited New Haven and will. 1t is said, manage the Bulkeley campaign in that city. He is a keen politician and has long been Senator Bulkeley's right hand man in Hartford. After he had gcne.' says the New Haven Journal Courier:
 There came a report that the Ger man, Irish and Italian elements were to put strong democratic ticket on fcot in the coming campaign The idea is that a legislative ticket of some sort will finally be brought out in this state which will insure Sena- tor Bulkeley the votes he requires to return him to Washington for the next six years.
 This announcement is not parti- cularly intelligible, unless it means that the three elements named are 10 nominate an independent Demo- cratic ticket and to thus effect the election of Republican candidates. We doubt very much whether even McGovern, though aided by Bulkeley money, can successfully work such a scheme. The Irish and German ele- n.ents are not so gullible; on the contrary, they are pretty we'll ac- quainted with practical politics.

Trolleymen Not Ready to
 Report Arbitration Plan

The members of the New England conference board of trolleymen, which has in hand the articles of arbitra- ton between the members of the various trolley unions in the state and the Connecticut company, are not yet ready to submit them to the company for consideration No arbi- trators have been named. It will probably take some little time for the articles of arbitration to be drawn, and when they have been presented to the road, that body will also have to make counter suggestions. The night, will act promptly when the ad- vices from the trolleymen have been received. There was no meeting be- tween the men and the road yester. day.
