BROTHERHO0DS MEET
Successful Gathering of Men at the
 Methodist Church.

Methodist Church.
 The United Brotherhoods supper in the dining room of the Methodist church, Tuesday evening, was another successful affair in the series that began last winter with the affair at Pilgrim church. Ninety-one men, of various church denominations, and non-church members, were present and enjoyed a sumptuous repast, furnished and served by the ladies of th5 church.
 The guests assembled Tn the audito- rum. up stairs, before the supper hour. and enjoyed a short session of social and informal intercourse, until Pastor Corn ford made the startling request that the company proceed to Ego below"
 Below, the guests seated themselves at the tables, which had been arranged to accommodate IA feasters, without crowding. At one table were seated a male quartette, consisting of G E. De Hart, Ivanhoe Scott, Henry H. Scutt and John Armstrong. with a we'll bal anced supporting chorus, and School Superintendent George J. Vogel, who presided at the piano. Several inspir- ing songs were sung during the festivi- ties. <r,
 President Louis E. Hester, of the Methodist Brotherhood, opened the pro- ceedings by calling upon Rev. J. E. Tinker for the invocation. The efficient corps of young ladies who served as waitresses then proceeded to bring on the abundance of good things, which were enjoyed to the full by the hungry brothers. and MT. Hester, after a brief speech of welcome, introduced Pastor Cornford as the toastmaster. and it was fine selection. MT. Cornford was a live wire in that capacity, and had fun with number of the guests who were not looking for it. He gave his esteemed marrying contemporaries, Rev. Gillette and Judge Ford, an-occasional good natured dig in the ribs, not overlooking Dr. Ross, the matrimonial lecturer ' He introduced as the first speaker, Rev. E. O. Gillette, who, as usual. was enter taining and effervescent with humor and witty allusions and got back at Cornford Tn dextrous style on the mat rimonial business, keeping the guests on 8 broad grin or convulsed in hearty laughter. s-
 Beacon H. B. Stevens, aged 81, the oldest male member of the Methodist church. was introduced as one of the "boys," and gave timely and appro- priate talk, full of wholesome admoni- tion, which was warmly applauded.
 Rev. MT. Ridgeway, of Great Barring ton, a former pastor of the Canaan church, who was expected and sched- uled for speech, failed to appear, much to the disappointment of his friends among the guests.
 The principal speaker came last Rev. Dr. R. E. Wilson, presiding elder of the Poughkeepsie district, who spoke for about half-hour in a most entertain ing manner. He told funny stories that set the listeners in a roar, and grew earnest and eloquent in dealing with the problems of life and human expert ence. It was an address full ot thought and earnestness, and concluded with congratulations to the United Brother hoods of Canaan and appreciation of the privilege of being present.
 The festivities closed by singing America, and the guests dispersed well pleased and resolved not to miss the next supper.

 We most heartily endorse the nomin. ations of the Republican Party for the State offices, and in presenting the name of Edward B. Gaylord, of Winsted, as candidate for State Senator from the 31st district, we place before the people man ot large business experience and one in whom all can place unlimited confidence that he will, if elected, exercise his right to vote upon matters coming before the State Senate without fear or favor of any person or corporation.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
NUMEROUS DECLINES.
Stock Market Sensitive to Pending
 Federal investigations.

New York, June 11,-With two inn portant federal investigations under way in this city, 1t is hardly to be wondered at that today's stock market reflected more than a moderate de- gree of sensitiyeness. It IS clear from what has already transpired that the inquiry by the congressional commit tee into the relations of the large financial institutions with the stock exchange is going to take larger scope than was at first believed. This is evident from the fact that several of the leading commission houses have already been notified that it Is the in tention of the investigators to have them appear before the committee and give information relative to re- cent market operations. This is un- derstood to apply especially to a cer- tain industrial security whose meteoric advance earlier in the year excited considerable cynical comment.
 Disappointment arising from the failure of the United States supreme court to take action before the sum- mer recess on several important cases in which the financial community and investors have a legitimate interest including the status of the coal trans portation companies and the Union Pacific Southern Pacific merger, help ed in no small measure to increase the feeling of dissatisfaction prevalent in various quarters. This was shown in the pronounced weakness of the anthracite shares, which registered more material declines than any other active issues excepting American Can.
 The greater part of the selling took place in the morning. when Lehigh Na How of16 di11 HCpIirnH tl1po0 T four points, respectively, while Union Pacific and some of the grangers sold off one to over two points.

 APPARENTLY A FAKE.
Dave Fitzgerald Refused to Referee
 After Third Round.

New Haven, Conn, June 11.-Johnny Coulon of Chicago, the bantamweight champion, tonight figured >in 9 fight with Frankie Hayes of St. Louis which fans looked upon as a fake. The bout was scheduled to go ten roonds, but at the end of the third Referee Dave Fitzgerald left the ring, refusing to oficiate in what he said was frame up. Upon leaving the ring the referee declared that the boys had been faking from ths start and that they had re- fused to fight after he warned them.
 Chief of Police Cowles ordered the fight to go on and Mike Doherty, the announcer, acted as referee. The boys went at 1t again. but before they had been fighting 8 minute Hayes went to the floor. He remained there until the count of eight, but after couple of seconds went down again, this time being counted out. The fighters were roundly hissed as they left the ring, the crowd being of the opinion that the knockout also was a fake.

Party Left Grandstand Without Inter

New York, June 11-An appeal to the umpire for protection from the abuse of spectator this being the first time that big league player has taken advantage of the rule permitting it since the memorable Ty Cobb incl dent a few weeks ago, was made to- day by a player of the Brooklyn team during the game between the Brook lyn Nationals and the Pittsburgs in Brooklyn.

 Drivers of automobiles especially would do well to observe the following simple rules, and drivers of all other vehicles would also profit by their pre- cepts:
 Rule In passing a team coming | toward you, turn to the right
 Rule 2-In overriding a team or | auto turn and pass on the left.
 Rule 3-When driving through a well travelled or congested thoroughfare with the intention of turning into an intersecting street, to right ur left, it is always good policy to raise a hand to warn other drivers that you are about to enter the street at hand, and in so doing turn a wide and square l corner, entering the street on the right.
 Rule If one is contemplating slowing down or coming to a stop, raise the hand straight upward.
 Rule 5--In a thiclSly congested city l where traffic police regulations are en- forced, blow horn or whistle 10 attract l oficsr's attention and signify by your hand your course; he will then give you signal to proceed
