 Stratford, July .26-The selectmen will hold '1adies',-day'' on two dates to accommodate those women who will be made voters for the. coming cleo tion. The dates selected are Aug. and Aug. z. The ladies of the Strat- ford Equal Franchise League will cam vass the town before these dates and visit every woman who signed a blank indicating her desire for, equal rights. All the necessary informa tfon will be furnished by the ladies of the league and arrangements will be made to have all applicants for the franchise visit the town hall in body and be made. It will be neceSSary to appear on one of the dates mentioned. Wives who are not natives of this $cotlIftfy but whose husbands have been natuT- alized are eligible without further ac- ton. Women are legally entitled to vote on all questions affecting the education of children. This includes appropriations for school purposes and all other educational business, whether before the people at the reg ular election or at any town meeting. The Equal Franchise League proposes to have at least one woman on the Town School committee next year. The Progressive party has promised to nominate WOH1dn cdnQIQdCS OL it's town ticket The Social Labor party has made the same promise. Enough Democrats have already allied themselves to the movement for wo- man representation on the School committee to insure such a nonina- tion. Should these fail the women of the town will run an independent ticket, which will carry not only carl- didates for the School committee but for every other office in the town The women have put their hands to the blow and will not turn until they have accomplished what they have set out or-representation on the School committee which they are legally en- titled to. All necessary information will be given at the meeting of the Equal Franchise League which takes place next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock atSthe residence of Mrs. Win ton in King street. Every woman ln- terested in the education of her chill dren should attend this meeting pre- pared to join the organized en0rt which will not fail.
 Mrs. Frank Ladd, an old resident of Stratford was taken to the Bridge port hospital on Wednesday and un-, derwent a, surgical operation from which she is slowly recovering; Her daughter, Georgiana Ladd, was taken
 
 day where an operation for appendi- citis was performed. Neither the mother or daughter is aware that the other is ill Miss Ladd was visiting friends in Danbury when, she was taken with acute appendicitis The family have many friends in town who will be pained to learn of this double affliction. Mrs. William Camp, who is at the Bridgeport hospital, is slow ly recovering from injuries received in fall from a. trolley car Mrs Alva Baker, at the same hospital, IS still in: a dangerous situation Mrs. Robert Wheeler is recovering rapidly and. is cheerful. Mrs. D.. c. Wood still continues in a condition which gives her friends great uneasiness. The Stra tford contingent in the hospital now consists of five well known la dies all suffering from serious mala- dies.
 The .sOld ~Stratford team which made a record for the town for Sev- eral years but has not been active for several seasons past, has reorgan1zed and will be again seen on the dla- mond next Sunday afternoon when a game has been arranged with the of Bridgeport. The latter is a team of fast players capable of making the old timers extend them selves even in their best days, and a good game may be expected. The linelIp of the Stratfords: Buddington, n. Flood c: Walter Park, 1b; E.. Bene- dict, 2b; c. Knapp, 3b; J. McGahay, ss; Frank Evitts, If; Walt -McGahay, cf: Frank Goodwin, If. This places the .'old fellows in their original po- sitfon and they will be watched with interest in their efforts to come back.
 The shobo ride'' is the latest diver sion and it was exemplified for the first time in this vicinity yesterday when Capt. Glass of New York, mas his son, Lawrence, toured to Stratford in ali automobile and called on friends. Capt. William Porter of White. street, and Weldon Bayies of Oyster Bay, were found at their work on the dock in the uniform of the active oyster man liberally decorated With mud and sea weed. They were captured and loaded in the motor car and carried to Savin Rock. No attention was paid to their protests and desire to get into their Sunday clothes. They were exhibited to the. startled visitors of the resort as the only untamed oyster pirates in captivity Much sport attended the trip.
