The legend Of the origin Of Amritsar
tells how, one morning long ago, al
woman carried her husband in bas-
ket--he being without hands or feet
and placed him in the shadow of a
tree while she sought aims in the
neighborhood. According to the story,
the cripple noticed crow, similarly,
afflicted with lameness, fly to an adj

as its legs touched the water; its
plumage turning milk-white at the

the poor cripple himself became re-

This was attributed to the power of
"Amrit," the water of Immortality

- " ARDWAR, where the sacred
Ganges leaves the foothills Of
the Himalayas and enters the
plains, is still the great place
Of pilgrimage which Braham-
ism has made 1t for SO many ages, and
every year, on the occasion Of it's fes-
tival, draws hundreds Of thousands Of
native people from all parts Of India
to seek redemption in these upper wa
ters Of the holy river, and incidentally
to swell the traffic returns Of the rail-
ways and compensate somewhat for
the Improbable carriage OF "tourist"
flrst-class passengers. The crowds Of
worshipers came for ages before the
railways, but it is only since the Brit
ish occupation that the practical value
Of the river has been extended In such
gigantic systems Of irrigation as the
vast canal which carries of the wa
tiers OF the Ganges at Hardwar during
the season of low food and spreads 1t
over the level flats of the United Prov
inces, writes A. Hugh Fisher in the
London Illustrated News.
The wide river, clear as crystal and
gloriously blue in the bright sunshine
Of that February morning, flowed joy

Attempted suicide.

Because she had been disappointed in her love affair Cyrene Butler, of Dan bury, a colored girl fifteen years old, bury, @, co1ored fir1 15 years old, took evening in an attempt to end her life. She was at once rushed to the Dan bury hospital and after emetics had been administered and other meas ures applied she was soon out of dan ger.
 Some time ago word was received from Poughkeepsie, that James Cody, of Shelton, had been taken in charge there and seemed men nta1ly unbalanced. He was released and came to Shelton and seemed about as usual until the latter part of last week when he com menced acting strangely and Satur- day he was seen to run to the tracks Of the railroad and throw himself down upon the rails for the purpose of committing suicide. An Italian re- moved him from his perilous position, only to have him rush back again and when again seized he fought his res cuer with tooth and nail. Later it was decided that he was insane and he was taken to Norwich.
 Lightning Plays Havoc.
 During the severe electrical storm of last Friday a number of places in Ridgefeld were struck. The barn of EIbridge Jennings was struck and con stunned by fire with all it's contents A bolt travelled along the wires in Bryon park, partially destroying the chin- ney of the house occupied by Albert Cullis and completely destroying the chimney on the house occupied by Ed gar Davis. The lightning went through both houses, splintering beams and cracking walls. One of MT. Davis sons was stunned and all are suffering from shock. At the J B. Brown place a bolt started at an old hickory tree and travelled along a narrow chain to the end. when it entered into a solid rock and completely shattered the rock. The chimney on the machine shop on the F. B. Lewis place was de- nolished. Edward Winery was knock ed unconscious and the others recelv- ed severe shocks.

AUTUMN DELIGHTS IN
 THE WHITE MO UNTAINS

CPress Bureau New Haven Road)
 For a good many seasons the White Mountain hotel and boarding cottage proprietors have been telling their guests that September and October were the most delightful months of the year in the White Mountains. They wanted their friends ta see the m mountains decked out in the wonder full colortng of Autumn.
 The railroads stimulated the desire to go by operating autumnal excur- sions to the White Mountains. Very low rates were charged to the prin- cfpa1 resorts. As result the num- Der of persons who go into the hills of New Hampshire in September and October to spend their vacations has steadily increased. These excursions are eagerly anticipated by hundreds of Bridgeport people each year.
 The dates of sale of the excursion tickets this fall are September to October 10, good returning until Oc- tober 20. The round trip fares are a little more than the one-day fares.
 Most of the hotels offer special rates to patrons of these excursions. They are keeping open later than us uaI this season. The Mount Wash ington, for instance, will not close it's doors until October 21.
 September and October are just ideal months for a visit to this noun tain playground. The vivid co1ors of autumn lend an attraction to ey- cry scene.
 The mountains, always beautiful and ever-changing, offer the same at fractions to the vacationists whether viewed from the porch of some, great ultra fashionable hotel or seen from the veranda of a modest farmhouse where two or three "city boarders'' are taken. That is their great attrac- ton as a, playground
 The clerk, the business man and the millionaire can each find in in finite variety the class of accomTnoda.- tions suited to his purse, from the great hostelry costing a million, with gorgeous furniture, and luxurious surroundings down to the spare room in some quiet farmhose with every thing plain, but neat and clean, and the inevitable strip of rag carpet on the painted floor.
 The star attraction in New Hamp- shire's mountain park is Mount Wash ington, which stands sentinel over the Presidential Range, it's head first to become hoary with the September frost and snow. The narrow, steep steel pathway to it's top can be seen from the cog-wheeled trains for 20 miles or more.
 Never will you forget the superb view of the ever-changing panorama as you find yourself slowly drawn up tse mountainside for nearly a, mile and a quarter above sea You will never forget having come up here to have a. peep at the world from the roof of New Eng1and! Here you will sit and have your luncheon above the clouds, whose pillows of mist look like noiseless ocean of rolling waves
 There will be no lack of amuse- ments for the autumn pisitor. Rid ing, driving, tennis and golf will he1p to pass many pleasant hours. Trips through the mountains by rail and motor also add to the attractiveness of a sojourn.

DOUBLE HAZARD IN WOODEN

 Modern steel equipment for high speed passenger trains should be in stalled at the earliest possible time This has been recommended in previ- ous reports of this Commission, and legislation fixing a time limit for the installation of such equipment shout ] be enacted without delay.
 Tn it's twenty-ffth report to Con gress the Commission called particular attention to the desfra bi1ity of all cars used in passenger-t service being constructed of steel. The New Haven road however, is among those rail- roads which have made comparatively slow progress in the matter of steel car construction.
 Establishment of safer and more efficient operation of this road is inn mediately necessary if Congressional legislation extending the scope of Gov ernment regulation of railroads is not to be called for and justified in the in terests of public safety

CITY HALLS NEW PHONE

The new telephone system in the City Hall has not been working just right at night lately The day cau of the inter r-communica ting exchange is $500 but at night the system is hooked up so that calls may be made direct into the offices of the city clerk. the tax assessors and several Uruer of- fcials where it is necessary to have office hours at night to accommodate the people.
 Lately when people call City Haif at night the telephone operators 1nsls- on giving them $500 and in consequence every telephone in the City Hall has rung or else people calling have not been able to get in communication with the city official they wanted to talk with.
 This morning Mayor Wilson took the matter up with the complaint opera tor in an effort to prevent future con- fusion.
