Fears Aroused.

The affidavit further sets forth that
large number OF electors Of the state
OF Utah, who are not familiar with the
facts In the case. Will vote for Jacob
Johnson, when. as 8 matter Of fact, he
Is not entitled TO be voted for, thereby
depriving them Of the privilege Of voting

Johnson has not complied with the cam
paign contributions and publicity acts OF
the national congress.

davit. Judge Morse ordered that the Sec

strained from certifying Judge Johnson S

THIRTY YEARS AGO.
August s4. lssa.
items of local interest taken from the columns
 of The Press, thirty years ago.

The West Stafford Congregational society expect their new bell of seven hundred pounds this week.
 H. Denham, senior of the firm ot H. Denham & Son, has bought the dry goods stock of the o. H. Stevens estate, and will open the store for business.
 Samuel Lee of this village has leased the Forest mill of Joseph Null len for one year, with privilege o1 two. MT. Mullen, who lives in Brookfeld, Mass. where he has an other mill, has been running his mill in Stafford upon woolen yarn, which is sold to Charles Fox 6 Go. of the Foxville mills.
 Postmaster E. F. Whiton some seventeen years ago made the first stylographic pen ever made, but did not patent it because he was convinced of what has since been demonstrated that pen of this style had little practical value He has for some years used a fountain pen of his own invention and make, however, that seems to be a perfect thing in it's line.
 E. E. Butterfield was very effusive- ly greeted in New York a few days ago by a man, who, however, made fullest apology on finding that he was not the man taken for. He ascer- tained during the interview MT. B. s residence, and few blocks further on his pal greeted MT. B. as warmly of course, having the correct name this time And how were all the people in Stafford, and would MT. Butterfield kindly take charge of a package of business cards and hand to l.. W. Crane, and might he call upon MT. B. at his hotel, and would MT. B. call at his office on Pine street, and where was MT. B. stopping? "I am not stopping anywhere" was the reply, 1T am going right on;" and he went. Some years ago Gov. Hyde was similarly greeted on Broadway by one of these confidence men, who called him "Mr. Brown of Cleve- land "But am not MT. Brown of Cleveland. My name is Williams of Buffalo. Apologies followed, and the governor passed on watching curiously for the rest of the little game, which he had tread about. |" Soon came sharper No. 2. "Why, MT. Williams 1 how glad I am to meet you, when did you leave Buffalo? and how are my friends -" But am not the man you take me for, " again said the wicked governor. My name is Johnson, and live in New burgh." " With look of surprise the baffied rascal left him, and the scene was repeated with a third man, to whom still another name was given, upon which the combination of sharp CTS lost all confidence i'll the veracity of their desired victim and threw up the game.

Sir Edwin Arnold as an Editor

Sir Edwin Arnold was perhaps the most suave man who ever paced Fleet street. His correspondence must have been enormous, but 1t never seemed a tax. He hailed a contribution from an acquaintance with thanks on one day, begged forgiveness on the next for a days inevitable delay in publica
 ton and on the third offered his con gratulations. At first sight people thought the friendly manner too good to be true. but Arnold proved true on long trial.

Bears One Crop and Dies.

The sago palm tree bears but one crop of fruit It's load of nuts is its first and final effort in the way of fruit bearing The nuts become ripe and are strewn in thousands around the tree until the great stem stands up by itself, empty and bare. The branches turn brown and drop one by one to the ground Inside the trunk the work of decay Is going on until what at one time was mass of white sagO and pith becomes nothing but collection of rotten brown tibers- One day the trade wind blows more strongly than usual. and the leaf1ess column of the trunk falls with crash. destroying in it's fall many of the young palms that are already springing from the nuts scattered some months before.

 Flax weaving. according to a recent authority. is 4.OO0 years old as an in dustry. Egypt was the first country to raise flax. All fine table linen Is made from water spun flax, as water is essential to its manufacture. Vapor has been tried. but unsuccessfulIy. The process of manufacture has i'm proved but little in 4.OOO years. the linen made by the Egyptians being often found in an excellent state of preservation. wrapped about the bodies of mummIes.
 There ia no grass bleached linen to day. as grass bleaching Is too slow a process. Chemicals are used to short en the work
 Very little flax Is raised in the Omit ed States because the air contains tOO little moisture The finest lawns and handKerchlefs are made in Ireland and the Scotch linens wear perhaps better than any. Straight line patterns do not wear as we'll as figures with rounded edges

Prida of Race.

Many stories are told of the pride of these long descended country squires. They have held their own even with peers of ancient creation. A great friend of the Duke of Norfolk who died in 1816-Jockey of Norfolk was an old squire who always main tained that his name Huddleston was corruption of the Saxon Athelstan and consequently much more ancient than that of Howard. Like the duke. he was great toper and at dinner one day rolled off his chair to the floor. The duke ordered a member of his family to raise him up. Never" hic- cuped the old man-''never shall it be said that the head of the house of Hud- dleston was lifted up by junior mem- Der of the house of Howard" ''Then, old friend" answered the genial duke ''as Howard is too drunk to lift him up he will lie down beside him." and he did.-Manchester Guardian.

The weddinu Cake.

The custom of having special cake at weddings was introduced into Eng land by the Romans This cake. or. rather. biscuit. signided fruitfulness. hospitality and prosperity. The rice that was showered upon a bride had a similar meaning. For many centuries after the Romans left the custom was to break the biscuit over the brides head. and then the fragments were picked up and piled before her for dis. tr1bution to her friends At the resto- ration Charles H. returned with a small army of French cooks, who speedily converted the ancient biscuit into delicious piece of confectionery. iced if with sugar and gradually adorn- ed it with emblematical devices till it lowered into the amazing structure which the luxury of later times has de veloped.

Once every three months the com pany issues and delivers to it's sub- scri bers all over the state the Con necticut Telephone Directory" con- taining the names, number and ad- dresses of all those who had telephone service when the book went to press. To-day this book is not only list of telephone subscribers, but is as we'll looked upon as handy reference in many other ways. In addition, this book, if one cares to look back into the first days of telephone history for a comparison, gives a vivid idea of what the growth of telephone service in Connecticut has been. If we were to compile figure of all the tele- phone directories in the United States and compare it with the first direc- tory printed, the contrast would be astounding.
 A few figures, based on the coming issue of the directory, should be of interest to everyone, and are presented
 
 all over the state, will consist of 100, 900 books, each volume contain ing 544 pages, exclusive of the covers, or total of 54, 400, 900 pages for the entire edition. If these books were spread out singly, as closely as they could be placed, they would make a flooring of telephone directories one inch thick that would cover thirteen acres. If they were placed one on top of the other, a paper tower would rise towards the sky one and -tenths miles high, tower that would be lost in the clouds. If one were to separate the pages and spread them out, they would form blanket one and one-fifth miles square.
 Again, the total weight of the issue will be practically seventy five tons, the weight of single book being one and one-half pounds. In addition to the binding and printing of these di- rectories, approximately one hundred and two thousand thumb holes must be cut and thousands of additions, cor rections and other changes made, the total number for the last output being seven thousand five hundred and twenty seven.
 So it may be seen that the tele- phone directory as it stands to-day is a tremendous proposition, one that would probably have frightened the telephone pioneers of those old days half out of their senses. It is some inh

 Miss Sarah Sweet of Augusta, Me. is visiting her parents, Mir. and Mrs. o. A. Sweet, on East State street.
 Invitations are out for the marriage of Hawley s. Keeney, son of MT. and Mrs. G. l.. Keeney of this town, and Miss Lena E. McCray of Hampden. The wedding will take place at the brides home Sept. 2.
 Everett Robbins has sold the house on Main street near the Heimann & Lichten ruins, recently bought of T. l.. Oushman, to H. D. Moulton. MT. Moulton is taking the house down and moving the lumber to South Monson, where it will be used in constructing building there.
 Rev. and Mrs. F. w. Mcconnell have gone to Ohio to visit relatives, after which they will go to Lynch burg, Va., where MT. Mcconnell has been appointed adjunct professor of the English Bible in the Randolph Macon college for women. He has been pastor of the Monson Methodist church for about IS months, and his successor has not been appointed.
 Maple lice are becoming quite numerous on some of the shade trees of the town. Last year several fine large trees were killed by this pest. As the lice were on but few trees last year little was done to exterminate them. The trees were taken down and. burned, and it was hoped that this pest would be disposed of by that method Evidently other methods will have to be resorted to. The work done on the spraying of the elm trees has been remarkably satisfactory, for the elms never looked better at this time of year than they do now.
 The water commissioners have nearly completed the work on the Seneca Conant farm, which is to give reserve supply of water in case of confagration. The old dam has been rebuilt and the pond will cover an area of about two acres, with an average depth of about 10 feet. It will contain 9OO,O 900 cubic feet of water. An intake has been built so that the water in this reservoir can be turned into the mains at short notice. The bottom of the pond has been graveled, and as the water in the brook is exceptionally pure the supply will be a valuable one.
 A largely attended and very inter esting meeting of the A. A. Gage camp, Sons of Veterans, was held Tuesday evening. A communication from the division commander of Con- necticut was read and action taken. The communication was request that the local camp assist in the institu- tion of new camp in Stafford Springs, Ct, on the evening of the 24th. It was specially requested the degree team of the local camp do the initiatory work. A committee was appointed to look after the necessary arrangements. Besides the degree team, about 20 members expressed their desire to go. Commander AL berty proposed that the party go by automobile. Undoubtedly this meth cd of transportation will be adopted.

SPEED MANIA is DISASTROUS
Public Has Gone Crazy Over Matter of
Rushing, Says Traveller, Who
soon Forgets Himself.

Yes, SIR said the man who had his
feet in a chair in the smoking com
partment of the car, you can trace
nearly every railsoad accident to the
mania for speed Safety is a Sec
ondary consideration. The first OBJ
Ject is to get there in a hurry. Look
at the advertisements of the differ
ent railroads. You'll see that speed is
always emphasized. If one road can
make the run from New York to Chi
cago IN 20 minutes less time than it
taxes on some other road the fact is
prayed up in big type, as if it were
the most important thing IN the world
The public has gone crazy over this
matter of rushing. Get there quick is
the great object. We've got to be edu-
Gated up to the idea that speed is not
the only thing which should be con-
sldered. The man who thinks his time
IS so important that the gain or loss
OF an hour is vital ought to be chuck
ed into well and allowed to cool off.
Say, porter, how are we running?
Seems to me this train Is merely
creeping along"
Yes, sab. We're about 20 minutes
late. The heavy rains have made the
track unsafe along here and we got
to go kind of careful"
"Confound this road, anyhow! I'll
never travel on it again Why the
dickens can't they get people in on
time!''

MEANING OF FAT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever a prominent person dies, espe-
Cially If he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
Of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanQuish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled it's flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the great
conqueror of all-the angel of death.

West No Place for consumptiyes.

=
Physicians in all OF the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent of the 6,0000 900 people in this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
had 1t. Every year, the health authorl-
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumptives, hopelessly diseased,
come west to die. For these cases,
the climate of this section of the coun-
try can do nothing, and they are com
PEELED to die in strange surroundings
and thousands of miles from home
and friends. The National Associa-
ton points out further that from so
to 60 per cent of these advanced
cases are too poor to provide the
proper necessaries of life, and they
are either starved to death, or com
PEELED to accept the meager charity
which this part of the country af-
fords.
