NO DIGGING THIS YEAR.
Connecticut MiIitismen Will Have
 Their Load frightened.

General orders, No. 40, from the Ad- judant Generals office are as follows:
 1. So much of G. o. No. 2S, A. G. O., c. S., which designates August 10th to 18th, inclusive, 1912, as the man euver period is changed to read August 10th to 18th, inclusive, 1912, it having been determined to conclude operations August 17th, and return troops to home stations August 1Sth 1912.
 2. Attention is invited to paragraph 13, Instructions for the Connecticut Maneuver Campaign of 1912" which directs that ''No entrenchments, gun pits, obstacles etc, will be actually constructed" This having been de- termined, in order to tighten the sol dier's load as much as possible, the box of intrenching tools mentioned under (F) in G. o. No. 35, A G. O., c. S., will not be taken by companies participating in the Connecticut Man euver Campaign.
 8. Commanding officers must re- member that they will be held respon- sible for the care of property during the Maneuver Campaign.
 While the maneuvers simulate war, they are not war, and there is no reason for abandoning or losing property at a maneuver than there is at a state encampment.
 Every man. before going to the man euvers, should be cautioned to take care of the propery in his posses sion, whether it is his own, or that of another left in his care, and com manding officers should hold each man personally responsible.

CHARGED CENT A GLASS
 FOR DRINKING WATER.
After That People Began to Keep Away From Mystic Peace Meeting End Announced Wednesday.

No more peace meetings for Mystic, is the decision arrived at by the of ficers of the Universal Peace union, as announced Wednesday afternoon by Charles F. Hastings of Philadel phia, treasurer of the union, who was in Mystic Wednesday on business con- nected with the disposition of the so ciety's property here. The grounds, known as Peace grove and comprising some Il acres, together with the Peace temple, are now offered for sale through MT. Hastings for $3,000. Mys- tic has been the meeting place of the Universal Peace union for nearly half century; but so little interest has been taken in the annual meetings here for the last several years that the officers of the society have decided to give it up as far as Mystic is con cerned, the time and place of the next annual convention which will be the forty fifth, having been named for Sept. 5, 6, ' and at Buck Hill Falls N. Y, where the work of the promul gation of the principles of peace will be furthered by means of a Chautau qua.
 MT. Hastings said that he did not thing the work would be carried on this summer at Peace grove by the
 
 met with the Universal Peace union for over a generation, and stated fur ther that President Palmer Whipple has expressed considerable discour- agement at the lack of interest show locally. A sect styling itself the Later Rain society has communicated with MT. Hastings relative to hiring the grove the latter part of August for a few days; but MT. Hastings hopes that the union will be able to dispose of the property before that time.
 Beside the falling off of about all interest locally in the conventions here of late years, another thing that has detracted from the work carried on by the Universal Peace union was the foundation of the American Peace society by Andrew Carnegie. MT. Hastings said that he thought that the Universal Peace union would eventually merge with this society, thus losing in a large measure its own identity.
 Keen disappointment would have been felt if the announcement had been made here a few years ago that the Universal Peace union intended to change the place of it's annual conventions; but the movement as far as Mystic is concerned has been dying a lingering death, until the at tendance at it's meetings here, which used to average 7,50O people a day had fallen off last year to about 75 There is no doubt but that a grave mistake was made the year that it was somehow or other permitted tc charge one cent a glass for drinking water at Peace grove. To have to pay for drinking water after that long, hot, dusty drive from ten to SE miles back country was too much. Ii was the beginning of the end so far as Mystic people were concerned and so far as people from Ledyard Center Groton, North Stonington, Preston Voluntown, Norwich, Central Village and a score of other places were con- cerned, too.

Mason Smith was born in Scotland, Conn, and went west 34 years ago, taking up a claim at Ulysses, which is about 39 miles from Lincoln, the cap ital, and 90 miles from Omaha He Is engaged in the horse business on a big scale, also raises wheat, corn and oats. and has prospered as the result of industry and good judgment.
 He married a Ulysses woman and they have five children and five grand children
 MT. Smith will spend two or three weeks visiting relatives hereabouts; he has two sisters, Mrs. Calvin Cook of East Norwich and Mrs John Bab- cock of Scotland, Conn.
 Business in the west is exceedingly good, he says, surprisingly so for a presidential year
 The progress and Improvements in and about Norwich amaze him. espe- cially the trolley facilities. He opened his eyes to see five or six big cars, from as many different directions, loading and unloading passengers ev- cry quarter hour on Franklin square, where he remembers a single hourly horse car. a watering trough and the liberty pole. The convenience of the fine big cars on the Montville route, past his brothers house, struck him as the greatest wonder of all
 He Is fond of his western home. but thinks Norwich is a pretty hig, hand some city to come back to, and is pleased at the cordial welcome he is l receiving as he meets with old time friends

A SUMMER
 TOILET REQUISITE

There has never before been on the market, to our knowledge any sub stance that would bleach the skin un- less it contained injurious acids or corrosive sublimate. The enforcement of the Pure Food and Drugs Act has made the marketing of these articles illegal.
 Therefore. we feel the readers of The Bulletin will welcome the news that the Lee & Osgood company, our progressive druggists, have secured the agency for Norwich of Whites Skynbleach, a peroxide cream com posed mostly of Earth Alkaline Perox- ides and which contains no acids or injurious substances of any kind
 It does its work by reason of the fact that when rubbed on the skin, previously moistened with warm wa ter, the free and active oxygen which thereby becomes released not only bleaches the skin but thoroughiy dis infsots as well. Ths person afflicted with discoiored skin and wishing to obtain that creamy white skin so much desired, will find Skynbleach a. most valuable. efficient and simple preparation to use,
 Ask the Lee & Osgood company to satisfy you that Skyn bleach will re- store 'harmiessly' your normal com plexion and skin. Peroxide Product company, Nsw York.

REMARKABLE GROWTH
 OF TELEPHONE BUSINESS 100000 Directories,' Weighing 75 Tons, Distributed in Connecticut Every Three Months.

Once every three months the tele- phone company issues and delivers to it's subscribers all over the state the Connecticut Telephone Directory" :" containing the names, numbers and ad- dresses of all those who had telephoe service when the book went to press Today this book is not only a list of telephone subscribers. but is as well looked upon as a 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.
 A few figures, based on the coming issue of the directory. are of interest. The issue. as used all over the state, will consist of 100. 900 books, each vol ume containing 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 close ly as they could be placed, they would make a flooring of telephone directo- ries one inch thick that would cover 13 acres. If they were placed one on top of the other. a paper tower would rise towards the sky one and siX-tenths miles high, a tower that would be lost in the clouds. If one were to separate the pages and spread them out. they would form a blanket one and one fifth miles square.
 Again, the total weight of the issue will be practically 75 tons. the weight of a single book being one and one half pounds. In addition to the bind ing and printing of these directories approximately 122.OOO thumb holes must be cut and thousands of addi- tions. corrections and other changes made, the total number for the las; output being 7,527.
 So it may be seen that the tele- phone directory as it stands today is a tremendous proposition, one that would probably have frightened the telephone pioneers of those old days half out of their senses.

Sailors Barred From Lincoln Park
Acting Secretary Winthrop of Navy Department Writes h. dignant Letter to Governor Baldwin-Wants Legislation to Present Discrimination Against Uniforms Manager JF. Drew Kept Men From Dancing Only

from very respectable homes, many of them from Connecticut.
 New Haven Conn, Aug. S.-Govern- or Baldwin when seen tonight said that he had not yet received the let ter of Acting Secretary Winthrop, and declined to enter into any discussion of the matter.
 Manager James F. Drew of this city said Thursday night that on the day in question the sailors were admitted to Lincoln park and >to the pavilion, but were refused tickets to dance and were not allowed on the floor. This action was the result warranted by former experiences he has had with soldiers and sailors in uniform, and he feels justified in barring them from the floor for the best interests of his patrons.
 The sailors admitted to bystanders that they were unacqUainted with any people at the park with whom they might dance, and the general behavior of many of the men while on leave does not make them desirable addi- tions to any gathering. It Is the cus- tomary policy among managers of dance pavilions to treat all uniformed men alike.

A despatch from Washington Thurs

A despatch from Washington Thurs day night said:
 Acting Secretary Beekman Win throp, quick to resent any reflection upon the naval uniform, today wrote to Governor Baldwin of Connecticut calling his attention to the fact that on July 20 five petty officers from the battleship Missouri were refused ad- mission because they were in uniform to Lincoln park, an amusement place near Norwich, Conn. Secretary Win throp, stating that the men were per were sober. neat in appearance and orderly, said;
 The navy department, therefore, would be much gratified if legislation may be secured in Connecticut along the lines of the laws enclosed (copies of Massachusetts and other state laws) and thereby prevent further discrim- in9tion of the kind above noted
 The quality of the personnel of the navy and the marine corps is such that discrimination against them while in uniform is most unfortunate and un- necessary, in view of the excellent character of the young men who are now being enlisted, the vast majority of whom are self-respecting and come
