 The rate at the present time is twenty cents per k. W, with a ten per cent. reduction for cash. In con nection with this important reduction in cost to all users, the buyers of electricity who use large quantities will half-cent lower than the flat rate to users through the Blackstone valley.
 Few Changes in Train Time.
 Only two changes are noted in the running time of trains for passengers in and out of Danielson under the new trai nschedule that becomes effective Sunday. The south bound train now due here at 10.4S a. m, will hereafter be due here at 11.e1 a. m; the south bound train now due here at 6.15 D. m. will be due here at 6.27 D. m. All north bound passenger trains through Danaelson will run on the same schedule as at present, as far as Dan ielSon is concerned. No early after noon south bound train is added, as had been hoped, so the break in south bound train service will be from 11.D1 to 6.27 D. m.

STATE FARM PROBABLE. Judge E. M. Warner Pleased at Pros psct of Establishment of Referma-

Judge F. M. Warner of this city, who has been an able. earnest and enthusiastic worker for the establish ment of state farm for drunkards, was delighted Wednesday over the fine hearing held at Hartford Tues day in relation to the establishment of such an institution. There was no opposition before the committee of the legislature that has the various bills on the subject under considera- ton, but there was as strongly a rep resentative gathering present in fa- vor of one or more of the bills as is ever seen at the state capitol to lend aid in furthering the passage of pend ing legislation. Judge Warner char acterized the remarks before the com mittee as the best and strongest set speeches he has listened to in long time.
 Judge Warner appeared as the rep resentative of the state Christian En- deavor association and of the Prison bill that has the backing of the pro bate Judges, police, city court and town court judges in Connecticut and many of the lawyers of the state
 Indications seem to be that some enc of the bills introduced will be passed by the present legislature and that the state farm so long. so ably and earnestly advocated by Judge Warner will become a reality.
 Judge Warner points out that no attempt at the reform of drunkards ds now made III the ja1lS of Connecticut, where the drunkards are almost in variably sent after an appearance in court He believes that they should be segregated, and allowed the fullest op- porfunfty of environment and oecupa- ton as aids to becoming valuable cit 1zens through the permanent shaking off of the drink habit He is conf1- dent that a state farm such as is ad- vocated would be a certain source for such q reformation.
