FAVOR PARCELS
 POST SYSTEM
Connecticut Rural Delivery Men Adopt Resolutions Urging it-T. F. Crane Re
 elected

New Haven, Feb. 23-The COnnecti- cut Rural Letter Carriers Association in their annual convention at the Oneco Hotel yesterday endorsed the parce,s post for the reasons that it's es establishment would be for the con Venience of their patrons, and would increase the revenue of the Post Of flee Department. It would enable the more than living wage, making it possible for the carriers to educate their children and lay by something for the future, in the words of the resolution passed. The carriers main tain that living expenses have in creased to such an extent that they need more than ever before an al- lowance for horse feed and equip ment.
 The watchword of the speakers and officers of the association was "pr ganize." It was borne upon the car riers present that the association, if 1t wants to get any legislation for it's benefit, must get it by united effort, that the association must be increa sed in numbers from 1s5 to include every rural carrier in the State, over 200 To secure new members, the secretary of the association, Julius E. Woodruff, was authorized to appoint men to can vass apportioned districts in the State to secure new members.
 President James O'Keefe said that Congressman Reilly assured the rural carriers that there would be granted a. ary. The allowance for the rural car riers is now $1,0O0, out of which they have to pay for horse maintenance and other expenses. Throughout the States the associations are working for a salary of $1,200, with $500 fo-. horse main ntenance, and they seem in a fair way toward securing what they are after. He urged also upon tho members, as did the other speakers of the morning, Postmaster Howarth Of this city and National President Kelly of the Carriers Association, the need of organization The gag" law, too he said, would be abolished, and any government emp eye who criticised his condition would not be liable to dis missal Ninety members of the asso- citation were present at the morning and afternoon meeting and-took din ner at the Oneco at noon.
 The former officers were reelected as follows: President, J. F. OKeefe, Middletown; vice president, T. F, Crane, of Bridgeport; secretary and treasurer, Julius B. Woodruff. Berlin. MT Woodruff was authorized to ap- point his own assistant. J. F. OKeefe of Middletown was named delegate to the National Rural Carriers conven- tion
 It was voted to hold the next meet ing Labor Day, in Bristol, at which tionaI convention will be elected.
 Letters were read from associa tions throughout the States, emphasizing the growth of the organization, and the need for renewed effort in stimu- lating membership
 A reSo' ution was passed requesting the National Letter Carriers Associa- tiOn to appoint a representative at its next annual meeting to confer wi h the National City Letter Carriers As sociation to bring both associations into closer relationship for their mu- tual advantage.

THE NEW LYRIC

Only three more performances re- main of that extremely delightful farce offering at the new Lyric theatre, 'srhe Marriage of Kitty" and after yester- days immense audiences, with the re- sulting advertising which invariably comes from pleased theatre goers, the house will be packed to the doors this evening, tomorrow afternoon and to-nnorroW evening The entertain Ideal type for holiday week, was re- ceived with acclaim yesterday and Miss Cleveland and all the favorites of the company were rendered recep- tions which virtually amounted to ova- tionS
 There are a few good seats left for
 The Marriage of Kitty but if they are not called for early, they will be all gone So If you are desirous of seeing this brilliant success, get your seats early.'
 opening Monday evening, and conIin- ulng with the usual Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday matinees, and at the regular Lyric prices, will be that ma, '-The Two Orphans the greatest success which emanated from the pen of that brilliant writer, Lawrence DEnnery, and which has nobly stood in this play that the late Iamented Kate Claxton played in so long and with such unheard of success and in which she was playing the night lyn theatre fire.
 The old play has had thousands of promotions, probably, by every st ock company ever organized some good, some bad, some merely indifferent It mas been the subject of several re VlVals' by a,l-star companies, but through all its vicissitudes it has stood the storms, and to-day is as zf 0aT, tive favorite with the people, and cer- tain to be received here next week by immense audiences, who will enjoy the performance as much as though 1t were an absolutely new play.
 But the grand old play will have a Tar different treatment in the hands of the Frank Carpenter Stock com pany than it has usually had. This is really an organization which amounts closely to the D ane of an "all-star" company, and it will give to The Two Orphans" a rendition which will be a most pleasant surprise to all who see it. Miss c eveland will be seen in the character so remin- iscent of Kate Claxton, as Louise, the unfortunate blind girl; and is there reading of the character which will be fully equal, if not superior to any which have been given it before? Miss Carpenter will the Henrietta, Louise's sister, while Miss strickland will be seen as Mother Frochard; Mir. Con ness, of course, will be the courtly, galalnt Cheva fer, and MT. Carroll the Jacques of the play, both TO es in which they will fit like the hand in the glove.
 The part of Pierre, the hunchback. will also be adequately cared for, and the entire Carpenter company will as- sist in the cast, in the other charac- ters. The stage settings will surely be all that can be possibly required, for Mir Carpenter has had MT. Schrock. the scenic artist, at work night and day the past week, preparing the cab crate stage mountings demanded by the piece, and which he is only too eager to give.
 Get your seats early for 'HThe Two Orphans; this will be the real dra- matic treat of the season, and every one will be eager to see this splendid company in So great an offering.

ANDREWS ACTUALITIES
Man Fatally Shot--Miss YOung's
Birthday Party--ReligiOus Notes.

Andrews, March 4:-There was a
serious shooting affray just across
Black river near Wars Crossing,
on the Marion branch of the G & w
railroad at an early hour last Satur-
day morning which resulted in the
killing of a white man named Lo-
gan. The facts in the case, as far as
your correspondent can ascertain
them. seem to he that Mr. Julius
Cumbie and Mr. Logan were broth
ers-in-law and that Mr. Logan had
abused his wife in some way. She
left her home and went to her bro
theirs (Mr Cumbie) for protection.
Mr. Logan followed her there in an
intoxicated condition before day
light last Friday and entered Mr.
Cumbie's premises. making some
threats. He was ordered not to en-
ter the house and was shot in at
tempting to do so. The dead man
bore a rather bad reputation in that
community. Mr. Cumbie is generally
known in his neighborhood as very
peaceable and inoffensive man and
has never. been known to be in trou-
BILE with any one. He was born and
raised in this community. The mat
ter is deeply regretted here. The
general opinion of the people seems
to be that MIR Cumbie is not to
blame for the awful deed. 1t ap-
pears that drinking on the part OF
the unfortunate man who lost his
life was the primary cause of the
whole thing. The above facts are all
that can be obtained at this writing.
Miss Mollie Young, the accomplish
ed daughter of Mr. D B Young, gave
box party for the benefit of St
PauPs Methodist church on Satur-
day night, February "a. Quite a
neat little sum was raised. All who
attended the entertainment report
having greatly enjoyed it. The
writer took pleasure in the playful
games that were entered into by the
school children. Miss Young is noted
for entertaining her guests and es-
pecially the school children. They
all have the most loving respect for
this charming young lady. She is a
great church and school worker.
The children say they would like to
attend another if Miss Molie will
head the party.
Little Murphy Morgan, the eldest
son of F Morgan, died last Monday
about noon from the effects of pneu-
monia. Both of MIR Morgan's sons
were very i'll, but the younger, we
are glad to report, is gradually con-
valescing. Both boys were taken
first with measles, followed by pneu-
monia. The bereaved family has the
sympathy of the entire community.
Presiding Elder Holroyd preached
