Governor Will Not Attend On
 Bridge Opening
Date Was Not Made to Suit His Convenience, Since He Has But Three Days to Consider Bills.
Special from United Press.)

New Haven, Aug Ex-Governor Baldwin will not attend the opening exercises at the new Connecticut river bridge at Saybrook, next Thursday. The bridge commission was given to understand that he could not attend on that date, said Governor Baldwin, today, and they did not see fit to name a day convenient for him.
 The Chief Executive of the state showed his displeasure.
 'The committee on the Saybrook- Lyme bridge asked me to make an address at the opening of the bridge. I agreed to do so provided a satisfac- tory date could be arranged" he said. T stated then, however, that in view of the probabl session of the legisla- ture during the present week and the hope of reaching adjournment on Fri day, August 25, that I could not ar range to attend, this week, unless on Friday afternoon or Saturday and that I could not favor the adjournment of the legislature on Thursday afternoon to attend the celebration.
 'I said I thought it important that the legislature should stick to it's work until they had finished 1t but I be- ueved it could be finished by August 25, provided they worked Thursday afternoon and whether they did or not I should be busy Thursday after noon with my executive duties.
 "The Governor of Connecticut has for the consideration of bills present as in most states but only three days. Consequently, every legislative day he has to reserve, if possible, for the consideration of bills.
 'I shall not be present on Thurs day afternoon at the bridge opening"

Used Another Mans Less.

In the hall of the house of represent atives there is painting of George Washington. He looks a most com manding person, with the stature of giant and faultless physique. But looking att the portrait recently pub lie man commented:
 ''That is a good deal of sham. George Washington never looked like that, though I've no doubt he would have been proud to appear so magnif- cent.
 Notice the legs" the speaker con- tinued. ''They are perfect beauties, but they are not Washington's. They are the legs of General Smith of New Jersey, soldier of the Revolution.
 Tt happened this way" he explain ed in conclusion: Washington had quite unimpressive legs, and the artist who painted that picture was so dis satisfied with their shape that he per suaded General Smith to lend his faultless members as models. So, while we have the face and torso of our great first president, the support ing legs are those of one of his gen erals. Long may they stand"-Wash- ington Post. ''>

Women and Stocks.


 Women spectators have habit o1 giving to brokers orders with a string attached to them. A woman who owned some bank stock asked broker to sell it at 25O if he thought she could not get any more for 1t. The market in this stock had been inactive for months, and 25O was the highest price ever recorded for 1t. The next day the broker had a chance to sell the stock at 25O It so happened that on the same day a lively demand for this bank stock developed, and before the day was over 1t was selling at 300. The broker wrote to his woman customer that he had sold her stock for $25o share and would she send her certificate to him for delivery to the purchaser? She refused to deliver the stock.
 'fYou ought to have known better than to sell it for 250," she remon- strated. T am going to sell it today myself for 30O.''
 It was not until the broker appealed to the courts that he succeeded in get ting the stock from the woman Strand Magazine.

Police Bow Out
 Of This Club
Believe it Has an Arrangement For EquitabIy Sharing the Cost of Maintaining a Stock of Liquors

The Mechanics Club, 760 Hallett St. received an unexpected visit from a squad of police on the hunt for liquor law violations. yesterday. After the police made a careful survey of the premises they decided not to molest the club. for they were satisfied that under the recent decision of Judge Poster the club was not in the cr1n- fnal class A store of liquor was open- ly displayed there. but no drinking was in progress when the police ex- amined the place. Inasmuch as Judge Roster has ruled that legitimate club may dispense liquors when such transaction is merely incidental to the club lie, Lquor Agent Wagner, who led the raid. bowed himself politely out of the club rooms.

Death In Factory Eires.

The question is often debated as to whether persons who lose their lives in fire developing with great rapid ity undergo extreme physical suffer ing. An authoritative opinion Is ex- pressed by the New York Medical Jour nal, which says: Unnecessary an guish of mind has probably been felt by relatives of unfortunate workers killed in factory fires by reflection on the supposedly agonizing pain caused by such a death. Where a great bulk of highly inflammable substances is quickly consumed in closed space the result is the production of large quan- titles of carbon monoxide This gas, 1t is well known. combines with the haemogobin of the blood to form a compound that refuses to combine witA oxygen. The result is speedy and probably painless asphyxiation be- fore the flames have had a chance to attack the bodies of the victims"

Not the Answer He Expected.


 One of Lord Desborough's best anec- dotes relates to a clergyman who was far more at home in the hunting field than in the pulpit, says London Tit Bits. On the morning of meet he was much annoyed at having to off, ciate at funeral; but, this over, he mounted his horse and started in pur suit of his friends. On the road he sought information of an old woman with donkey cart.
 Well" she said. If you ride to the top of the hill you will come to a 'meenister.' Then if you turn to the right you will be likely to come up with them.''
 Handing her shilling, he said, My good woman, why did you call the sign post minister?"
 "Why, you see, sir, it's like this: We used to call lem sign posts, but since you've been in these parts we calls 'em meenisters, 'cos, though they points other folks the way, they never goes themselves. Go on, Neddyw

Dainty Snails.

The writer who qualified the snail as foul and unclean" was guilty of a libel. Snails are most dainty feeders and strict vegetarians, as many gar deners know to their cost. Apparently three centuries ago snails were more popular in England than they are now. The fastidious author of ''The Faerie Queene" gives recipe for their prep aration:
 With our sharp weapons we shal thee
 fray
 And take the castill that thou lyest in; We shal thee fay out of thy foule skin, And in dish, with onyons and peper, We shal thee dresse with strong vyne-
 Gare.

ASSEMBLY MAY ADJOURN BY
 AUGUST 3I
(special from United Press. ]

Hartford, Aug. 21-Adjournment of the 1911 General Assembly session is expected to come next Friday, or August 31. This was the expert opin- ion in legislative circles, today. The slight uncertainty regarding the date was laid to the House, which has re- peatedly upset prediction by it's ap- parent indifference to hard work. The Senate has adopted a resolution call ing for adjournment, August 25, but the House has twice tabled the same measure.
 The prediction that the Legislature would extend it's session to mid-Sep- tember and even later is not generally held here. Most of the legislators are heartily sick of the delay in adjourn ment and as soon as they can force aoticn on the big matters pending, the closing ceremonies will be ordered. Other signs of the end are the ap- pointment of a committee to present gifts to the speakers in the two Houses the appropriations of the next two years. Committees are out on direct primaries. death damages bill and the workmen's compensation act. Action is expected to follow closely the hand ing in of the conference reports. Mat ters of much less importance to the State have generally resulted in lengthy OeDaLoS III the E1OuSe ana or these a few still remain on the cal endar There is the question of re- a apportionment and state tax Both these subjects are scheduled to come up, this week and the possibilities of disagreeing action between the two Houses are considered bright
 The Thursday session will be cut short by the opening of the new Say ook-Lyme bridge over the Connec- ticut River, to allow special train full of legislators to take part in the ceremonies.
