The Gayety of the Socialists.

With a socialist administration giv- ing balls, and a republican declining even an inaugural one, our topsy -turvy politics seem more upside down than ever. And when the gayer official is one with title so suggestive of comic opera as the Mayor of Milwaukee, a reader instinctively looks for the foot lights. The republican, being a pro- gressive, might be expected to ask for an inauguration characteristic of his proposed administration-"dir cer- tain. simple"-even though he is the governor -elect of so sunny state as California. But ones idea of social ism is of social reform in somewhat different sense from that of popular izing such public utilities as waltzes and quadrilles. As the mayor says, however, when we look into each oth- CTS eyes, as we did last night, we find that the other fellows are not so bad after all" It might be well for the first republican congressional caucus this winter to take the form of a ball. care being exercised that the speaker and certain of his fellow partisans should Hook ineo each others eyes" One detail must be watched By an oversight, the programmes of the Mil waukee affair did not bear the union label. This will be remedied. it is ap- nounced, at the next dance.-New York Evening Post.

DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS

Town hall. About 100 were present. Judge Harry D. Back as a member of the court of burgesses explained the need of revising the present charter, and the provisions of the proposed charter. drafted by a. committee of the court or burgesses. He stated that much contained Tn the present charter had been incorporated in the revised charter, with such new features as seem desirable, and also that there icism in the draft presented to the meeting, which has been called to see what action the electors would take relative to the matter.
 Dr. Robinson criticised one or two features of the draft presented, but on the whole those at the meeting had very little to say, the tendency Delng seemingly to hesitate and to await developments. Some or those present were frank enough to say after the meeting that they knew little apout tne present charter, less about the propos- ed one, and did not feel competent tof discuss the proposed revise. The res olution naming. Dr. w. E. Hyde, Frank T. Preston and K. A. Darbie as a nom mating committee to present une names of a charter revision commit tee to the meeting was presented to the meeting by Arthur G.. Bill, the names of the committee brought Tn De- ing accepted. The meeting also yot- ed to construct a sewer before Sept. 1 through Mechanic street, from Acad- emy street to a point north of Hutch ins street.
 Boat Train Delayed by Accident.
 The northbound boat train due here at a. m. was delayed an hour and a half Friday morning by an accident to the locomotive that disabled it near Killing1y pond, about two miles souch of Danielson. The locomotive of a northbo1nd freight that finally came along was used to push the stalled passenger train into Danielson, from where the switcher from the Putnam wards took the train to Worcester.
 The Ladies' Art club is to meet next Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. F. A. Jacobs of Broad street.

March Directresses,
ON WAITING ORDERS.
Capt. E. L. Darbie May Be Sent to
 Texas.

Capt. EIbert l.. Darbie, Thirteenth company, c. A. C.. is on waiting orders for directions to proceed with other Connecticut officers of the National guard and expects to leave here for Texas in a few days to participate in the war manOeuvreS.
 Capt. A. Putnam Woodward, o. O., and Lieut.. Hal R. Eaton find them selves so situated that they will be unable to leave, so Captain Darbie will probably be the only officer from this section that will travel down to the banks of the Rio Grande.
 It is optional with the local officers as to whether they go or stay. but Captain Darbie does not foresee any thing to interfere with his going and relishes the plan so to do. Just when he will leave is uncertain. but it will probably be at such time as the other Connecticut officers get away.
 Commission Appointed to Consider
 Change in Charter.
 Representative Frank P. Warren Dr. Rienzi Robinson, Judge M. A. Shumway. Frederick A. Jacobs. Tim otny E. Hopkins, Arthur G. Bill and Gordon A. Johnstone were named as members of a commission at the spe- cial borough meeting held Friday evening, to draft such amendments to the present charter of the borough of Danielson as may seem advisable, or suggest changes in the proposed char ter, or draft a new one. The com mission is appointed without festric- ton as to what it shall revise or ad- wise in the way of a charter. No time limit has been fixed for the filing of it's report.

 Forest A. Marcy stated that he had received a letter from MT. Price post marked Brattleboro, Vt. in which Price wrote that he understood that Minnie (Nrs. Price) had instituted di- vorce proceedings and that he hoped she would be successful in securing it.
 Edward Bailey of West Woodstock took the stand. His story was as fol- lows: Something over three years ago Mrs. Price came to his home in West Woodstock. scantily clad and in a generally destitute condition. She asked if she could not do the house. work for her board and clothes. He took her in and a short time after her child, Stanley Francis, now over three years old, was born. She has resided with and worked for him since that time.
 The court reserved it's decision.
