interest of Senator Newman.
 T feel that this statement ought to pc made, when Senator McNefI af-
 tempts to use this insincsre conduct or his part in. an effort to make the public believe that we are politically indebted to him. Tn his personal con troversy with MT. Frank c. O'Rour1co of the Seventh district, he need not have dragged in any reference to me or made a recital of the pretended favors that he has done for me or any of my friends. He will yet learn that he has made a big mistake in repu- diating and deserting the men who have always disinterested1y sought to advance him in public life Under the influence of the AebFag aggadocfo-- and threat with which the Atmosphere of the Walker -Russell-Boucf1er circle Is charged, he boasts what he Is going to do to MT. Frank O'Rourlze in the Seventh district. MT. O'Rour5<ess friends in the Seventh district accept the challenge.
 They recognize this as a personal contest between Mr. OsRourIxe and stronger man politically in the Seventh district Senator AIcNen will realize on the night of the primaries that 1Ir.7 ORourlke's friends will resent the in- suit that MT. McNeiI has seen ht t0 cast upon him and will rally to his support.
 T may add that Senator aFcNeu,s activities in Hartford were in the main calculated to, strengthen the existing crowd of Republican office holders. lobbyists and common council bull doz- CTS in this city. Our distinguished sen ator has at last come to the end of playing both ends against the middle and we shall see if he is as good @ man in open fight as he is in under ground methods

plants would be admitted to the build ing. The men then filed into the oapi- tol and a committee of four headed by Attorney Patron entered the of fees of the state board when Chair man Rowland appeared
 Chairman Patron said:
 We, the Foss strikers, demand a public hearing.''
 Tt will not be granted,'' the chair man replied, land, further, we are now considering other matters which have been set down for hearing today. Usually, when there is a desire for a public hearing, those interested show us the courtesy of asking for a formal date."
 The chairman then withdrew and the committee left the boards office and proceeded to the governors chamber.
 Patron presented letter from the strikers addressed to the governor in executive instruct the board of con- diate hearing A few minutes later the committee withdrew and, followed by the rest of the strikers, marched to to a, hotel in the vicinity.
 Later, Gov. Foss announced that he had no right to instruct the state board to do anything. He would well come a public hearing, he added, but under no consideration would he change his attitude regarding the mat fer of wages.
 Today's demonstration was the re- suit of the recent refusal Of the state board to set 8 date. this month, for a public hearing on the claims of the strikers.

 The suggestion that it will be better practice if the voter signs his name to the application, refers to applications made orally to the registrars. MT. Pullman believes it would be better if the voters name were signed to ap- pIication slips made out by the regis trars, rather than that the registrars should sign his name for him.
 Voters may register until o'clock, Saturday night. Those not registered upon the list of their party by that time will not be able to participate in the nominations of the party to which they belong.

Voters may make application in writing, by printed slip, or orally for registration on party lists. This is the opinion of City Attorney John S. Pull man, who adopts the same view of the law that was earlier taken by Attorney General John H. Light in an opinion given to Representative Lynn W. Will son. MT. PulIman's opinion is as fol- lows:
 General Registrars of Voters.

CONNECTICUT MANUFACTURERS REFUTE CALAMITY CLAIMS
 OF U. s. SENATOR MILAN
Letters Read Tn Senate By Stone Missouri Indicate Real Sentiment In Mills of Eastern Connecticut Penrose's Statement Torn to shreds By Authenti- cated Testimony.

"It is d queer thing to preach a healthy mans funeral, even when he is healthier than he ever was before.'
 Senator Stone did the Senator from Connecticut the honor of chasing him with the model of the standpatters, Boise Penrose, who is fast descending into the depths of oblivion with the prosperity of the nation under one arm and a portrait of the late and la mented Matthew s. Quay under the other.
 Tn his expose of Senator Penrose", Senator Stone said:
 The Senator from Pennsylvania said last week that he had accurate information to the effect that the Sharpless Cream Separator Go. had closed down and moved it's entire plant to Hamburg, Germany; that, ex- cept for the dumb silent structures which a. few months ago were full of the music of industry, there was not a vestige left in Pennsylvania of that great industry; and that hundreds of people previously employed there had been thrown out of work. A day or two after that I called attention to a very strong disclaimer by the presi- dent or some one of the chief off, cers, of that corporation, most ern- phat1cally denying the accuracy of the information upon which the Senator pred1cated his statement, and saying that their corporation was in full blast; that 1t was carrying on it's bus mess now; that 1t intended to carry it's business on; and that they had no thought of suspending it. So the Senator was evidently mistaken, all though positive in his assertion. Now I will produce a little additional tes- timony on that subject"
 He then read from the West Ches- ter, Pa. Star a report to the effect that the plant was busy and was obliged to lengthen it's running time. Sena- ator Stone also exposed the calamity Sena tors by calling the attention of the Senate to an Associated Press re- port showing that during the month of July past eleven hundred and eight, five more freight loaded cars passed the same point at Altoona, Pa, going and coming, than had passed the same point during the previous July, and that that was record breaking ship-4 ment, being a thousand more than had ever passed that point in any | July.

. Ho,u Rob;nl,ood Met
Little JOIN

After sending his message to the
sheriff, Bob turned to the forest That
evening he found band Of men sit
ting about a fire, eating, venison.
This company of men had been
thrown together by common misfor-
tune. A few days before they had
talked Of a leader, and had decided
that they would obey him who should
humble the proud Sheriff of Noting
ham. So it was that Rob was made
leader of the band under the name Of
Robin Hood
: All that summer Robin lived in the
forest with his merry men. At last,
however Robin became weary of idle
ness. He longed for adventure.
"My lads" he said, II must cen see
what is going on in Nottingham
town."
SO he discussed himself and set
out, whistling merry tune. Several
of his men followed, to be within the
sound Of his horn.
Upon leaving the forest, Robin
came upon a stream which was
swollen by recent showers The only
way of gaining the other side was by
means of log that lay across from
bank to bank.
On the opposite side Of the stream
Robin saw man coming toward the
log, so he FASTENED his steps to cross
first. The stranger did the like and
the two met in the middle of the
stream.
"Give way, my man." said Robin
~ would cen cross this stream, on
my way to Nottingham"
"Give way yourself, fair sir re-
torted the stranger, who was much
taller and heavier than Robin, "for I
would cen cross this stream, on my
way from Nottingham. I give way
only to better man than myself"
II see must, then, show you the
better man." replied Robin coolly.
Since he had been made leader of the
band, Robins opinion Of himself had
not grown smaller.
"Tarry where thou art" he added,
It'll get me a cudgel like thine
own" and he bounded back to the
woods, from which he soon returned
with a stout oak STAFF about six feet
long.
"One-two-" began Robin, as he
regained his place.
"Three!" roared the stranger. and
brought down his star with mighty

Ny story today is of kittens ad-
venture.
There was once little gray kitten
whose name was Tabby. Tabby was q
very nice cat. but she had one bad
habit. and this was to steal the milk
and cream. One day Tabby, having the
house to herself. thought she would
look for some cream. Going into the
pantry she spied a small milk pail, so,
thinking she would help herself. she
put her nose into the pail, and seeing
there was little cream she forced her
head down through the small opening.
After she had all the cream she
wanted she tried to get her head out.
but to her surprise she could not.
Soon after the lady Of the house re-
turned. She heard terrible noise and
on opening the door she saw poor
Tabby running through the house with
her head stuck fast in the milk pail.
Not knowing what to do for poor
Tabby she called for my grandma,
who went over and by carefully work
ing poor Tabby's head around at last
set her free. think that was Tabby's
last adventure stealing cream for she
was so frightened.

A FAITHFUL FRIEND.

Tommie and Margaret were coming
home from school. 1t was In January
and the snow was very deep. Margaret
said. "what is that lying by the road
there? It looks like an animal"
It was dog and something had run
over its foot It could not walk. Tom
went over to 1t. It had no collar on and
30 they took It home on their sled.
They bound the sore foot up and he
was no better for months, and when
he did get well he could not walk
very well.
One day as they were on the bridge
Margaret fell in the water. 1t was very
deep and she could not get out. Tom
screamed for help but no one was
there but our faithful friend and that
