 He had a great big heart just a match for his physicai proportions and no worthy appeal was ever made to him in behalf of a cause of charity that went unheeded. He was identi- fled with the Elks, Odd Fellows, Eagles and Tigers perhaps more prom inently with the Elks than the oth- CTS.
 this city and went to work for the erstwhile firm of Glover Sanford & Sons. hat makers, whose plant stood where the works of the A. & B. Mfg. Co., are now located. Following a res- idence here of several years he went into business for himself, for a part of the time being located in Danbury. of the F oward Avenue Hotel in How ard avenue. As a business man his reputation was Of the best. He had an army of friends recruited from all ranks. In his big bluff way he went through life helping everyone he could, consequently he made and retained friends.
 Tn his fraternal associations he was most popular and always in the fore rank in the matter of entertainment. Although he died a comparatively young man. being scarcely over 50, he lived an active. pleasant life and saw much of it's ups and downs.
 Besides his widow and children, Cor don, Daniel. Christine and Fred. he leaves two brothers. Samuel and Peter. and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Britton and Mrs. Sarah Cornelia of Philadel- phia.
 Tn politics he was a Republican, though in local affairs he was gener- ally found lined up with his friends without regard to political affiliations. His last appearance in public was about six weeks ago when he went to Waterbury with the local ant'ers to attend the dedication of the new lodge home of Waterbury lodge of Elks. Bridgeport lodge of Elks. of which he was an old and valued member, will meet in srecial session tomorrow aft ernoon at Elks Home to make suitable arrangements for the funeral which will be held Monday afternoon.

 The other letter produced was from Marock to Miss Moskil when the lat ter was waiting for him to come to marry her in Worcester. The letter literally translated is as follows:
 Dear Loving Annie--Let us hope in Jesus Christ. I am writing to you by the will of God. I am here Ondian Orchard). What you wanted me to write to you about on the train. be- will come to you on the second Fri day. loving Annie So I am very much in love with you. Annie. I can't stand 1t either day or night. I am dreaming of you. and think of noth- ing else but you, Annie dear. Don't be scared. Annie dear I will come to you dear, Annie my dear. My boss has gone to the old country. I send you my best regards very much my dearest Annie. Your loving Joe.''
 The states attorney sought through witness Julia Lukas to show that the paper upon which one of the letters purporting to come from Marock' 8 mother was written was American pa- per not in use where Marock mother is living. The court would not admit the testimony.
 That Marock and Laski knew each other all their lives was shown by the evidence of Joseph Guideles. a resident of Indian Orchard. He stated that Marock and Laski were born in the same town in Austria, had played to- gether when they were boys, and had left the old country together settling in Massachusetts.
 Horace H. dickson the local station CT was shown one of the letters and he identified the paper upon which it was written as American web. He held the paper up to the light and showed that it had been made for a firm in Ithica, N. Y. This was in a water stamp. The European D per has not the water stamp upon it. while the paper on that side is woven diff ferently. The other paper was shown MT. Jackson, which he identified as also American make, but there was no water stamp upon it. It wes the cheapest kind of paper manufactured.

Foulard IS
 favored silk.

Seemingly there is no doubt as to the position that the women of America will accord to foulard silks for the coming season. They are to be first; to stand at the top; to be the mostrfav- ored of all.
 The way you have admired and bought fou1ards during the past week and more proves it to our satisfaction. Bridgeport is not a whit be- hind the rest in deciding what it wants.
 And foulards are prettier as we'll as better than ever. With excellent quality, they have rich depth of color and tasteful patterns in white upon those rich-colored grounds. Many of them, the Cheney and the Shedwa- ter for illustration, are proof against injury by water spots. Many have self-col- or patterns woven in satiny effect; some have pretty de- signs traced out in white. Then there are changeable foulards with white dots, these of special interest be- cause so new.
 There are literally hum dreds of foulards to choose from:- -Shedwater, Cheney. imported, and American of other good makes.
 Cheney foulards are 85c yard.
 Shedwaters are 75c yard.
 Imported double . width are $1.50 yard.
 Attractive American foul ards are shown for 75c soc and as little as 39c yard.

The Farmers Angelic Office Boy Denies that the Race Was Fixed.

Several hundred dollars posted on the result of the roller skating race between Dick Barrett, the Farmer s mail clerk and Peter the man mon- key at Polls theatre last night, was returned to the bettors this morning All bets were declared off because of the indications of a prearrangement tetween the contestants to loaf dur ing nine of the ten laps and have t out the last lap. Peter from the start cut the corner. Peter was in the pink of condition as evidenced by the solor of the soles of his feet when the socks were removed in the dressing room scene of his regular act
 Barrett was easily distinguished from his competitor by white rac- ing suit with green stripes. Peter, W ho won the Organ Grinders Sweep stakes last year, wore a black cos tune that matched his pompadour hair.
 From the crack of the gun Peter showed indications of unfairness by sbbing at the neither extremity of his opponent whenever the latter came within reach.
 At all times the crimson topped pride of the Farmer office had the lead. The first indications the audience had that Peter was not on the level was when he started his monkey bus mess, trying to give his competitor the foot. Several times he tried to trip

Handsome gray wOOlens have
 rust come.

There is unusual style and beauty about a gathering of gray WooIen stuI1s that has just arrived. Fresh from their trip across the ocean, they seem to bring a special charm.
 Of vigoreaux or of pana- ma weave, they are of the right weight for spring cos tunes. And yet they are light enough, so they will prove suitable for wear OH any except the hottest of summer days.
 With this capacity for ser vice, they possess unusual good looks. Dark shades of gray are striped with lines of white. Medium light hues are striped with hair-lines of black. Some of the exam ples are of one prevailing shade with invisible stripes produced by the method of weaving. There are some pronounced stripes that will be particularly attractive when made into suits.
 Value is true and full for they measure 50 to 54 inches in width and price is $1.25 and $1.5O yard.
