.DR. SWAIN TO SPEAK TO INSTITUTE
 ON IMMORTALITY

At the South Church yesper In- stitute Dr. Swain has been asked to speak on the subject of Immortality. The committee has shown much in- terest in having this theme treated in its various phases. It is especially appropriate to the Lenten season and it is thought the discussion Of it will meet a deeply-felt want. Many ques- tions relative to immortality have been asked. Most of them will be reserved for treatment later in the series. The first address will be fundamental to the full appreciation of the discussions that will follow.
 The general subject will be sum med up in the question, "How do we know there is a future life? The first step in answer to this will be to consider. How do we know there is an unseen, spiritual world? This second question underlies the former one.
 Miss Elsie Smith. violinist, of Strat- ford, will play at the Vesper Institute of the South church, 5 o'clock Sun day afternoon. Her selections will be "Andante." Mendelssohn concerto; Aid for G String" Back; "Adagio.' .'' Ries; "Andante," Gluck. Miss Smith played at the mems meeting of Feb 18th in Polls where she was we'll re- ceiyed.

date. has withdrawn his name. and MT. S1eehan has annourced that if a majority of the DeInocr al ic members sign a call for new caucus. he will agree thereto and hold himself bound to abice by it's result. There cannot be doubt that the 62 participants in the previous caucus will sign the call for new one. bat the 24 Insurgents have not yet stated whether or not they will take part in the new caucus and abide by it's r~~alik If they be- lieve that it will merely renominat te MT. Sheehan. they will probably plea d consistency as reason for not at- tending.
 If the 62 would agree to crop Mr Sheehan's name, the "A Insurgents might be induced to attend the eau GUS. It remains to be seen whether new candidate. acceptable to both elements of the party, can be found. If not. continuance of the deadlock may be expected.

BRIDGEPORT NEEDS
 STAMFORD TERRITORY

The eventual destiny of suburbs is annexation, and the less the distance between, the closer the approximation of interests and the more fully popu- lated the line of communication. the ford is practically a suburb of Bridge port, and its annexation is a matter of mutueh interest and benefit.
 Bridgeport finds it necessary to ex- pand.s in order to accommodate man. ufac11ring interests which desire to locate here but object to being located in small town. It Is demonstrable that Bridgeport has lost industries through inability to provide for them acceptable locations within it's own limits. with all the advantages of city sites. Expansion seems practically impossible except eastward.
 Hence it is that there is now pend 1ng before the General Assembly a bill providing for the annexation of a certain large portion of Stratford-aH except two northern districts. The measure provides for referendum to the voters of Stratford and the Board of Aldermen of Bridgeport. It seems to be an emidentfy fair proposition. Under this provision. the voters of E@atford can reject the bill. The town has about 1000 voters. and it is understood that a somewhat strong annexation sentiment exists there. though perhaps not now a majority.
 It has been stated in hearings at Hartford that Bridgeport does not desire the proposed annexation. This statement is. in our belief unfounded The question has not been agitated here. except perhaps in manufacturing circles. When the matter is fully placed before the Bridgeport people, 1t will be exceeding strange if even one dissenting voice is heard. Bridge port needs the territory-needs it ur- eently-and it is only question of perhaps brief time before expansion will be granted.

SOUVENIRS FOR VISITORS AT HAiDSl ME NEW STORE
Ideal Cloak & Suit Co. Opens Fashionable Establishment i'll SratfieId Hotel Block

Those of the fair sex who like cloaks, suits, hats and waists that possess character quality and are true to the ideals of fashion should not fail to attend the opening of the Ideal Cloak and Suit Co.,. 1231-1233 Me in street in the Stratfield Hotel build ing, Saturday March 4.
 All day tomorrow the management of this new establishment will present souvenirs to those who make it a point to visit the store and inspect the handsome line of new. goods which will be on display for the first time.
 The store which the management has fitted up with mission fixtures is one of the most delightful retail stores in the city, and no money has been spared in making it place where goods can be displayed under the best of conditions, and with com fort to the customers.
 In extending a general invitation to the public to attend the opening the management is particularly anxious to acquaint the public with the new styles in Spring millinery. All of the hats are the creations of expert trim mers and are true types of the reign ing Spring styles in such a variety that all types of wearers are sure to find something that is sure to become them.
 Catering to the public in the mat ter of providing dress waists is an art that the management of this establishment has mastered. The poli- cy of the company has been to of fer variety of colOrings and patterns as well as sizes.
 Ladies like large assortments to se- 1ect from and if they see a garment they desire they do not Ike to be in- eormed that the proper size cannot be furnished. All of the goods offered in tha waist deDartment of this store are guaranteed to fit the wearers.
 The line of tailor made suits which the Ideal Cloak and Suit Co.,, have stocked their new store with for the Spring trade are of the highest type of workmanship to be found in the clothing market. The development of the business of making tailor made clothing for women has advanced with great strides so that, with the class of goods this firm is offering. garment is fitted to the form with the accuracy that gives the impression that the garment is mould built from the most accurate of measurements. The day has past when it was neces- sary for the ladies who like tailor of many hours under the tape mea- sure and of being fitted to crudely pasted parts of garments. The anxiety, undergone in the old days, to know how a garment was going to turn out when put together is no long CT suffered by the wearer. Tailor made garments are taken from the case, and shown to the prospective wearer who knows at once whether she is going to like it or not.
 The Ideal Cloak and Suit Co. has so perfected it's fitting system that its system of fitting is all that it's name implies ideal.

Since Jan. 17th. a deadlock has ex- feted in the New York Legislature. the Democratic ma jority being una ble to agree upon a candidate for Depew's se<st in the U. s. Senate. The Demo- cratic caucus. with 62 members pres ent. nominated William F. Sheehan by a unanimous vote. but A Democrats refused to attend the caucus or to be bound by it's decision. and supported E.

 The principal and practically the only argument used by the "A 'Tneur- gents" against Sheehan. the caucus nominee. was that Tammany sup ported him.

.LORlMER VERDICT WILL BE COSTLY
 TO BIG BUSINESS
Especial from United Press,


 Chicago, March 3-The Chicago Tri- bune, which by publishing the start ling White confession brought about the Lorimer "triar' in the Senate, bitterly assails the verdict by which Lorimer retains his seat. Tn part the Tribune says, editorially:
 "The vote, when corrected, leaves Lorimer majority of four. This is the mathematical measure of his win dication.' The quality of the votes cast will more than wipe it out in the sense of the nation.
 "If MT. Loriner is proved innocent he is welcome to his seat. If he is innocent and his supporters are prac- tical men who take to mathema tics in matters of honor, they may now congratulate themselves upon the fact that his vote may continue to be cast in their interest.
 "One of the greatest lawyers of the country, one who has established an international fame for statesmanship (Rootl conservative of the eonserva, lives, warned the Senators that if they would preserve the government of our fathers they were not at lib- erty to reject the testimony in this case which shows this seat to be fill ed as the result of corruption
 "Yet 46 Senators have rejected it and the decision of the highest delib- erative body in the land strikes straight at the heart of our Republi- can government.
 '.Let them go on. now that they have begun. Let them fill the cup Let them make use of their votes against reciprocity as they have against the recapture of the Senate by the people through the direct elections. Let them fight tariff reform and ev- cry measure devised for pruning of their tenacles, for the protection of representative government, of law abiding business and of general well fare.
 "They have won a glorious victory It will be the costliest in the history of government by big business in this country"
 In separate editorial headed Sen ator Cullom" the Tribune says:
 ''The vote of Senator Cullom in fa- vor of the corrupt election of Lorimer will arouse pity rather than anger An aged man approaching the end of his earthly career, he was subjected to pressure far too great for hs suc- cessful resistance. His will was crushed by forces he might have been able to withstand in the heyday of a career not very aggressive at best. But at this time he must be account ed only another pitiful victim of the powers to which stronger men have succumbed. It is pathetic that the close of his career should be shadow cd by such an act.''

WHY LoRD1ER WAS ACQUITTED

But for ten Senators who retire from Congress on Saturday (4th). Lorimer of Illinois could not have remained in the Senate. He would have been convicted instead of acquit- ted. This fully explains why such important matters as Canadian reel procity. appropriation bills, etc. were sidetracked to permit action upon the Lorimer casa The 'fnterests'' whose money. it Is believed. was used to elect Lorimer. desired his vote in the next Congress wherein their strength will be much less than for many years. This fact. rafher than the arguments advanced in debate. was probably the main factor in securing Lorimer's acuuittai. It is with great regret that we find il Democrats among those voting for acQufttal, all of them from fhe South. Az the Senate Is Repub- lican. che responsibility for it's action rests upon that party. however scat Nering and misguided Democrats may havs voted. There were enough Re- publican votes to have unseated Lori mer. but not enough Democratic votes to acouit him. which is the real test of party responsibility.
 The vote was 46 to 40. Among the A6 votes for acquittal were those of Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee of this State. Of the 40 votes for con- victiun. 2 were cast by Republicans. including IS by Progressives. and IS by Democrats. It appears from these figures that but Republican regulars voted for conviction. that 35 regulars voted for acquittal. and that the re- tention of Lorimer Is really dne to <he regulars who habitually vote as ''the interests demand and of whom 10 were. at the time. within less than two days of retirement from the Senate
 The Senate's action means that bri- bery. even though confessed and not disproven. does not invalidate an elec- ton: that as evidence of bribery can very. very seldom be secured except from the confession of the bribed and the bribers. bribery is practically legi- timized and has become unpunisf1able: and that bribery may effect it's pur-. pose-as in the Lorimer case. by re- ducing inc total vote-without voiding the legality of the election.
 It is a sad day for the principle of honest elections when such prece- dent is established by the highest leg tslative body of the country
