 Tuesday evening at Grange Hall a very enjoyable program arranged by Mrs. F. H. Mitchell was carried out. The paper by Mrs. c. Nj. Beresford, "Reminiscences of Washington was excellent. The story by Mr. Allison SP. Smith which was announced prev iously was a most interesting one and rendered more so in consideration of the fact that the historical romance occurred in Stafford, Conn, about the year 1878, when that place was visit ed by flood. MT. Smith s father moved there with his family in 1879 SO the surroundings and people were really a part of the life and interests of the Smith boys who carry fond re- collections of youth wherever they go. Those who heard the story were well pleased and the %Heroism of Jack Underwood" will probably be heard of and read again with interest SeV- eraI visitors were present at the meeting, MT. and Mrs. Arthur J. Smith, MT and Mrs. H. M. Tienan, Mrs James w. Gordon and others.
 Mrs. Herbert Wright accompanied Mrs John R. Peck to New Haven yes- terday.

THREE PLATOON
 SYSTEM HERE
Police Commissioners Are Com pleting Plans for Radical Changes in Depart
 ment Work

That the three platoon system will be in vogue in Bridgeport within the next two months became known to- day when it was learned that patrol men changing post the new detail posted today looked for only about one months service on such beats.
 Superintendent Birmingham refused to discuss the question at this time but admitted that he had been at work upon plans for a three platoon, system which would later be submitted to the police board.
 In departmental circles it is stated that the three platoon system will un- doubtedly go into effect about May 1st, if not sooner, but in view of the shorter number of hours which men will be compelled to work, and the greater territory as we'll as more com plete covering of the various beats. it is believed that the number Of men at command will be far inadequate for the present outlined plans.
 The fixed post system will not be used, and at the present time it is not believed feasible to keep reserves in sleeping quarters at the central station but it is probable that two or three men will be kept on inside duty at the various stations ready for emergency work
 Commissioner George Hill, president of the Board when reached on the telephone today said: ''It is true that we have been working for, some time past on a three-platoon system, but as yet it has not been completed as many features are to be considered. We are aiming to properly patrol every beat at all hours and with the number of men at our disposal to do this requires considerable forethought. We have not as yet been able to plan dednitely."
 The Commissioner then proceeded to A e Y0V-nS SeF1f time, no fixed posts are contemplated. It was intimated that such might later follow. Facilities prevent night re- serves being lodged at headquarters or station houses.
 Sergeants will be worked on the streets eight hours at a stretch, with a lieutenant and sergeant on duty in each station
 Four new men will be added to the detective force, which will provide for two plain clothes men on the Streets at all hours of day and night and a reservea force for special detail under direction of Captain Arnold
 As elaborated at present the new system will be practically as follows.
 The first platoon will go on duty from a. m. to 12 noon from 12 to 4 p. m. The second platoon will cover from 4 to 8 D. m., and from p, m. to 12, midnight. An additional detail will also go on duty during the mid night hours from p. m. to 12 mid night and from 12 to a. m. that property may be better protected. The third platoon will be on duty from IF midnight to a.. m. and from to s a. m.
 l While Commissioner Hill refused to admit that the number of men to | carry out the three platoon system l successfully would be inadequate and l in the manner they desire, hf acknowledged that some difficulty was being encountered in the arrangement | of beats and shifts owing to con- l tingencies which had yet to be over. come before the men could be definite | ly assigned.

GARDEN OF EDEN
 PAYMENT APPEALS
 TO STAMFORD MAN
Casts Conventional Clothing Aside and Refuses to Dress Even for Appear ance Tn Court.

John Fitzpatrick, AS years old. is a resident of Stamford, which is an orderly city, and usually persons re- siding there keep their clothes on when appearing in public, but not so with Fitzpatrick, who yesterday in sisted upon disrobing in front of the new Po1i theatre building on Main street, to the great enjoyment of a host of urchins and the embarrassment of many more sedate pedestrians Po- .Hceman Gregory who happened to be passing took the man into a neigh boring door way where he remonstrat- ed, and finally coming to the conclu- sion that he had an insane man to deal with called the patrol.
 At the police station Fitzpatrick completed his disrobing act in a cell. and when court was called it was found impossible to get him dressed ln time for an appearance. The situ- astfon explained to Judge Carl Foster, >his case was nolled and he was turn ed over to the Charities department which in turn will hand him over to the Stamford authorities.
 When about to depart for Stamford, Fitzpatrick resisted efforts of the de- pertinent to dress him and Alexander Morrissey whose long training with insane has qualified him to handle the most recalcitrant was called to assist in the operation, which was performed very much in the, style of an animal training act. Morrissey later said that in his years of experience with Insane this was one of the most de- plorab1e with which he had come in contact. But Fitzpatrick dressed.

WOODS ELECTION ASSURED.
Caucus Indicates Iowa Man
Will Head Congressional Committee.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Representa
tive Frank Woods, of the Tenth Iowa
district, will be the new republican
congressional committee chairman to
succeed former Representative Mckin-
ley. of Illinois. This was apparently
assured last night at the joint caucus
of members of the congressional COM
mittee.
Owing to the fact that some of the
delegations were not fully represented,
the entire membership of the commit
tee was not made UP, and the commit
tee itself did not meet for organiza-
ton. But republicans of both pro-
gressive and regular factions conceded
Mr. Woods would be the choice for
chairman. He was elected committee
man from Iowa.
The new committee will meet in a
short time and take formal action on
the Craftsmanship. 1t Is the feeling Of
most Of the committee that q progress
sive republican should be chosen. Mr..
Woods is known as one Of the most
progressive Of the Iowa delegation in
the house and as an organizer OF ca
pacity Moreover. he il personally
popular with republicans Of both fac
tions. Other candidates have retired
from the field. For these reasons hil
selection seems certain.
Senator Kenyon did not attend thu
caucus last night. ~ he Is opposed t.

CHINESE FAR SUPERIOR TO AMER.
IcAN COUSINS IN PRODUCING
QUALITIES.
EGGS WEIGHING FOUR
OUNCES NOT UNCOMMON
American Consul at Antuns, China,
Submits Report That Surprises De-
partmsnt Of Commerce Officials in
Washinston-six Eggs to the Pound
Not Uncommon.
[special correspondence.l

Washington. Aug GA movement
American hen to lay larger eggs has
been initiated by Consul A. A. William
son, of Antung, China Hitherto. 1t has
been generally supposed the hens OF
this country had all their foreign rivals
beat by hopeless distance in respect
to egg production. But Mr.. William
son has made report to the depart
ment of commerce which dispels this
illusion and shows the Chinese hens
are superior and that there are great
possibilities in introducing the fowls OF
try
Seven eggs to the pound is the high
est American average, but Mr.. William
son AYERS he knows Of an ordinary hen
over in in South Manchuria that lays
eggs weighing four ounces or over. This
would mean four eggs to the pound.
At this rate. two persons would be able
to get fair breakfast out Of one egg
and the cost of living would receive
body blow. such as the tariff revisers
can not nope to administer.
Some Remarkable Stories.
Mr. Williamson tells remarkable
stories of the large eggs OF China. he
says China has long been known as an
reproducing country but the discus
sion has been mainly with reference
to south and central China Manchuria
has not thus far figured but as q matter
of fact the best eggs are to be had in
South Manchuria Mr.. Williamson has
made a personal investigation into the
egg situation about Antung. He says
"the hardy hens Of this region lay eggs
that average. according to the hen.
from FIVE to seven to the pound. and
six to the pound is common and usual.
He then adds:
1T may be Of interest to breeders
and eggs farmers in the United States
to know that have seen within the
past week eggs weighing over Tour
ounces, produced by an ordinary hen
Of no particular breed fed on corn and
kept in confined enclosure. This. how
ever. is not a daily performances. The
fowl referred to Is a black hen. Of no
particular breed. but resembling q
Iangshan. She lays an egg weighing
four ounces or over at least every third
day and lays an egg every day for about
a week or ten days. when there is an
interval Of two or three days during
which no eggs are laid. The smaller
eggs average six to the pound.
'Other hens bought in the market
average six eggs to the pound. with
white or brown eggs. there being no
standard, of course. What these hens
could do If fed and cared for scientific
ally can not be told but they should do
wonders"
Mr. Williamson also says he has seen
eggs as heavy as four and a half
ounces. The Chinese hen makes such
records without any special care and
little protection from the weather. They
forage for themselves and are little
sheltered from the cold. Some Of the
large eggs have been sent to Norway
Mr.. Williamson thinks It possible tc
improve the size Of American eggs BY
the introduction and careful breeding
of some Of the fowls to which his report
refers.
