Ladies of Pilgrim Church Will Serve
 Hash Tomorrow Night.
 For the Brotherhood supper which is to be held at 7:30 Friday evening, it was decided not to issue cards, but men wish ing to attend should notify some mem- Der of the committee of either Brother hood as soon as possible. It Is a great help to those planning the supper to know early about how many are to be provided for. The price for the supper and the pleasant evening is only thirty five cents. This is not denominational affair and the men of any church are welcome. It is a get together chat should benefit all. The program has been previously announced. pr. Smith, who will be the guest of honor. was a prominent member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, had held a prominent appointment in the city gov ernment and when he recently left his pastorate in Seattle he was given a re- ceptiOn by the city Brotherhood at which the mayor of the city, the presi- dent of the University of Washington, the former president of the National Congregational Brotherhood and other prominent laymen in the city made ad- dresses in his honor.
 MT. Frederick Garvin, who will be another honor guest of the occasion, has become well known and is honored in Canaan since he took to farming it here in the summer at Anketel farm. He has very large legal practice in New York city has been president of the Board of Education in Orange, N. J., and held the position of president of the Brotherhood in the large Presbyterian church at East Orange. He will be at home among Brotherhood men.
 Since MT. Cornford's witty toast mas tering of the last supper the Brother hood men will know better than ever what to expect from him. He will be welcome addition to the toast card.

Wakeman and WiIke s-sarre.

A copy of the Wilkes. Barre, Penn. ,, Chamber of Commerce Journal has been sent to The News by MT. Walter Wake man, formerly of Lime Rock, now a public accountant in Wilkes. Barre. It IS a splendid issue, devoted to the bank ing interests of the city, and it's statis- tical contents are largely the handiwork and head-work of MT. Wakeman. A perusal of the Journal is admirably cal culated to give the reader an exalted idea of the importance of Wilkes Barre as one of the foremost cities of Pennsyl- vania financially, iudustrially, and commercially. Incidentally, the proud position which the city holds in the galaxy of the Keystone cities, is largely due to the patriotic enterprise and ac- tivity of Its Chamber of Commerce, whose success shows, in large way, what may be accomplished for a com mumty, in proportionate ratio, by such organization as the Canaan Business Men's Association.

WOMEN IN CONVENTION
Big Meeting of State Suffrage Asso-
 citation In New Haven.

The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association held it's 43rd annual conven- ton at the Hotel Taft in New Haven, Thursday and Friday of last week. The remarkable growth of the Association is shown in couple of comparisons. At the convention of two years ago only eight leagues in the state wero repre- scented, the total membership af which was about 400. Last year there were IS leagues represented at the convention, and their total enrolment was 4,O00 members. At the convention last week there were about 300 delegates, repre- senting 47 affiliated leagues in the state, whose total membership is 10000.
 The gathering was the most interest ing aud important in the history of tho suffrage movement. Reports showed that the income and expenditures of the association had reached Sl0,000, while two years ago they were but $350 and year ago B ,0O0.> This was independent of the expenses of the individual leagues.
 The meetings were held in the spa
  cious ballroom of the Taft. on the tenth floor, which was elaborately decorated with suffragist banners and flags, and the 300 earnest, vivaoious. handsomely gowned women made moving picture in color and action, that was imposing and worth going far to see.
 The convention was called to order, Thursday noon, by the president, Mrs. William 1 Hincks, of Bridgeport. who introduced Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, of New Haven, wife of the dean of the Yale Law School. Mrs Rogers gra- ciously eXtended'the welcome of the city to the delegates. The response on be- half of the visitors was charmingly made by Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, of

DOG WENT ON STRIRE
Uncle Toms Bloodhound Wouldn't
 Pursue Eliza.

Uncle Tom and his Cabin with acces- cories, etc., were the attraction at Town Hall, Saturday night, and amused slim audience, The. show was described bySan eye witness as "something fierce" and calculated to bring tears to the eyes of the older patrons who had seen the old drama performed, on the same stage, by competent players.
 The one diverting feature of the show was the manifest humiliation of one of the "ferocious bloodhounds." The ami anal was so much ashamed of the com pany he was ln that he declined to play his part. When he was "sicked' on Eliza who was making her perilous way across the wooden ice, to escape the fiendish Lagree, the bloodhound refused to pursue the fleeing lady, evidently reasoning it out in his canine mind that the sooner she got across the stage and out of sight back of the wings, the bet ter. So the sagaciOus beast, instead of chasing the fugitive, turned tail and JuulpSu OIl Gil6 SId36, GdhluS 4C1uS0 OO- hind the friendly stove, where he pro ceeded to go to sleep and let Eliza go on about her business.
 After the thrilling drama high class concert was given, all for the small sum of one dime, ten cents. which kept a few of the spectators after hours, and which was described as in perfect keeping with the punk quality of the drama.
 It was just such a show, throughout, as is needed to foster the disgust of local play -goers and make the town an un- profitable one for performances of real merits-when they do come this way.

New Plate Glass Front in Farnum's

 Contractor Lorraine is making a nota- ble transformation in the appearance of the front of Mrs. w. H. Camps build ing occupied by Farnum's drug store. The old front has been entirely removed and new and enlarged plate glass front installed the old and unsightly "stoop" which obtruded upon the side walk has been removed, and the entrance to the store is being made decidedly up to-date and metropolitan. The change gives a largely increased amount of light to the interior of the store, besides making the exterior one of the most at tractive in this section. The sidewalk is to be put in good repair, and when the work is completed the Farnum drug store will be as handsome an emporium as any town of Canaan's size can boast. And thus the march of progress oontin- ues to march.

A GREAT HARRINGTON SCARE
Protests Against Removal of Switch
 Yard to Canaan.

Whether the switch-yards of the Berk- shire Division will be transferred from Great Burlington to Canaan IS matter not yet decided, though it is the sub ject of much hot and acrimonious dis cussion in Great Burlington, and has plainly developed into a political and personal issue.
 The agitation was started with the contention that the switching caused too much noise and filled the air with too much smoke to suit the sensitive people living near the yard, and it was asserted that Great Burlington would be better off without the industry" At the same time the railroad officials concluded that the yard was inadequate any way, and it was planned to transfer the switching to Canaan, and orders were issued to that effect by President Mellen. About this time the business element of the town woke up to the fact that the transfer would mean the re- nIoval of about fifty railroad men and their families from the town, and the loss of a considerable volume of trade Then the business men got busy peti tioned President Mellen to let the switch ing De done where it was, and never mind the noise and smoke. An indigna- tion mass meeting was held Monday night, in which the subject was thoroughly aired, personalities indulged in and some strenuous graInmer employ ed. The element favoring the retention of the "nuisance" were vastly in the majority and another committee was appointed to see President Mellen and tell him the town wouldn't part with the noise and smoke for any considera- tion. At present writing the matter is in statu quo, and decision is expected from President Mellen soon.

 On account of error in voting for more than the law allows, all the straight Democratic Justice tickets voted in Falls Village were thrown out. as well as a number of split tickets. leaving curious number of votes re- quired to elect the following eleven ;: F. k.
