Sterling's Baen Here.

? Mir. and Mrs Julian H. Sterling of New Haven have been spending a few days in Canaan, while Mrs. Sterling has been having her teeth trested by Dr. Ross. They have many friepds in this -neighborhood, having spent a season near Twin Lakes couple of years ago, and it is not at all improbable that they may yet purchase a snian farm in this locality and settle here. as they are de lighted with the country and people hereabouts. Mr, Sterling is ar artist. journalist and anthor, and achieved a considerable degree of celebrity some years ago as the writer of series of startling yarns from Bridgeport. to the New York papers, which created sen. sation, especially, among readers who failed to detect the Munchausen talent with which the serious series fairly reeked. There's nothing in the lit'ry line that Sterling cannot do, and when itcomes to writing verses, he's poet. too.

CANAAN WATER 0. K.
Analysis by State Chemists Gives
 " Pumped" Water Clean Bill.

Analysis by State Chemists Gives
 " Pumped" Water Clean Bill.
 Water pumped into the reservoir of the Canaan Water Company from the well" near the Borden milk plant. is ''all right, according to chemical anal ysis made at the laboratories of the state board of health, and consumers need not fear any harmful results from using it for any purpose.
 Having learned that some persons were suspicious of the corporation water since the shortage of the reservoir sup ply made it necessay to start the pump to replenish it. Dr. F. H. Lee, local health officer, in order to definitely and officially settle the question of purity or contamination, about a week ago sent a sample of the water, taken from the well, " to the state laboratory for anal ysis. The result of the examination was received by Dr. Lee Saturday, and gives the water a clean bill of health.
 The bacteria percentage is even lower than was found in specimens from the same suree some months previous, and is practically negligible. The conclusion of the finding of State Chemist New land. is as follows: r
 "The number of bacteria are low and no objectionable types were found.
 "This supply appears to be safe and satisfactory for drinking purposes at this time" ~
 In view of this verdict, Dr. Lee says there need be no apprehension on the part of the public, concerning the water from the pipes of the corporation.

Suffrage News.

At Seattle, Washington, March 2, the official count of ballots showed that George F. Cotterill had been elected mayor of the city over Hiram 0. Gill by 315 majority. Gill, who stood for an "open town" was defeated by the womAn's votes.-Hartford Post. ' Dr.. Emil G. Hirsch in his Sunday sermon at'the new Sinai Temple in Chi cago referred to the question of women voting as mo matter to laugh at." : It was suffrage Sunday in Chicago, and score or more of ministers made the question the sub ject of their ser mons, among them Bishop Fallows of St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church. Dr. Hirsch's subject was "Shall Women vote?"
 Ut is no question to laugh at," he said" A leisure class is necessary to un- corrupt government. A man to give his whole time, labor and devotion to his country. must be tree from the burden of providing his daily bread. Women constitute the leisure class here. and have 8 wide knowledge and understand ing of the deep questions of the day, and should have right to vote on them"
 He paid high tribute to Jane Addams and Mrs. Ella FlaEg Young, Superin- tendent of Schools, as examples of wo- men who were highly capable of exercis- ing the right of voting.
 Bishop Fallows sad: "There is not 8 right belonging to men that is not the right of woman. ''-New York Times.
 With regard to the suffraRettes' win dow smashing in London, Lady War wick who is visiting the q. s. said:
 "That was stupid tactics. They made a mistake, but we are all apt to make mistakes. Why, even men make mis- takes sometimes, don't they? she re- marked with a smile.
 What effect will it have on the suf- frage question ?' the Countess was asked.
 ''The action of handful of women will not effect a movement that is world wide. I do not believe in militant methods. I am peaceful woman. But militant methods attract attention the cause would not otherwise gain"
 "Do you think the suffragists will succeed?"
 ''It is bound to come because half of humanity wants it, and when that many persons want 8 thing they generally get it."-New York Times.

Citizens Dafend Oysters.

Many citizens called upon Mayor Rice of New Haven to protest against the board of health ruling that clans and oysters taken from the harbor flats can not be sold here for food.
