Although the agricultural club of the

petition to the legislature asking that
40 acres adjoining the fair grounds and

of the agricultural college. it Is now
stated that this will not be done. The
fear has been expressed that to 10 after
an appropriation of $4,000 for buying
the land, with something additional
for putting it into shape, might mean
the cutting of something from the

A pimply face will not embarrass you much longer, if you get a package of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pimples will vanish after you have taken the tablets a few nights.

 Olive Tablets are the only success ful substitute for calomel-they oil the bowels; there's never any sick ness or pain after taking them.
 Olive Tablets do all that calomel does and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating.
 No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with "a dark brown taste" a bad breath, a, dull. Iistless, mo good" feeling, constipation torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face.
 Olive Tablets are made of pure vegetable compounds mixed with olive oil.
 Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints, and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result.

DEER DOING DAMAGE.
Eat DahIia Bulbs. Tulips and Sweet
 Peas in Gardens.

Farmers have been complaining con siderably lately about the amount of damage that is being done their crops by the deer all through this end of the state.
 The animals were never more plen- tiful than they are this spring, and the damage to growing crops is cor respondingly large. Flower gardens as well as vegetable gardens are suf- fering. for the deer is apparently as fond of dahlias as he is of onions At Farmholme, the summer place of Miss Mary Sharswood of New London. several dollars worth of valuable dah- lia bulbs have been destroyed and the deer have also eaten from tulip beds, etc
 At Mrs. Wolcott Mains in We quetequock 2 herd of five deer played havoc with her flower garden, spoil ing all the sweet peas. dahlias and other flowers. Last Saturday night the trolley killed a deer near the bridge at Wequetequock and the fish and game commissioners gave the crew of the car permission to use the anil nal.
 As a result Motorman Clyde Batty and several of his friends are enjoy ing venison this week. The farmers are, however, taking the matter seri ously as their loss so far this season has been considerable, and will of course be a great deal heavier as the season advances unless drastic meas ures are taken.

QUEUE CUTTING IN CHINA
How Orders From Pekin Were Car
 ried Out at Chefu.

Following, it Is said, instructions from Peking that all queues were to be taken off within three days, the authorities of Chefu lost no time in carrying out the order
 Squads of soldiers commenced ope- rations in the streets on the night of the 11th and by midnight it is said that over 200 individuals had been relieved of their superfluous locks. Early in the morning of the 18th inst. they were at it again and some anus ing incidents were witnessed while the cutters were in search of their quarry.
 When the operations were commenc- ed on the customs jetty among the coolies working cargo there was a general stampede. Hundreds of them rushed to the cargo boats that were alongside discharging. others to sam pans and showed off to safety while many who were left behind, but able to swim plunged into the water. Those who were unfortunately caught sub mitted to the loss of their appendage with good grace, followed however by a choice selection of them ost forcible swear words.
 During the morning many of the native employees of the foreign hongs absolutely refused to leave the premis- es and considerable difficulty was ex- perienced in getting chitbooks taken about.
 The cutting off of the queue is cer- tainly desirable from many points of view. but the manner in which it is being carried out has not only caused annoyance and inconvenience to their countrymen, but to many foreigners as well. Two instances are reported where the soldiers had the impudence to actually enter the premises of for eigners and deliberately stop the men from the work they were engeaged upon while they cut off their queues

WORKING FOR THE
 SENATORIAL NOMINATION.
Which Governor Baldwin is Men toned.

Which Governor Baldwin is Men
 tioned.
 A Hartford special to the New Ha ven Register Wednesday said:
 During the debate on the measure providing for the appointment of minor court judges by the governor. which, by the way. was defeated by a vote of 100 to 93. the name of Governor Bald win was used by Representative Thoms of Waterbury for the first time by any democrat of prominence in the state as a candidate for the United States senate in 1915.
 This statement was forced from the gentleman from Waterbury following remark by Majority Leader Healy that Governor Baldwin will not always be governor for the simple reason that the democrats do not want him any longer.
 MT. Thoms said this is not so; that there is no quarrel between the gov ernOr and the democrats of the assem- bly,, and he remarked further that if the governor ran for the same office again, as he may. the speaker had no doubt he would be elected. But" said he. we may find that we will need him as United States senator"
 Coming from Mr. Thoms, who is fair ly close to the governor, that is ds close as any democrat. stirred up. con- siderable political conversation about the corridors and the hotels here last night and was accepted as a plain statement of the fact that the gover- nor would like to be sent to the United States senate.
 The senators to be chosen henceforth will be elected by popular vote instead of by the legislature as heretofore, but the nominee of the democratic party will be placed before the people as a candidate through the usual state con- yention. It will be the delegates to that convention who will name the candidate, and for that reason it is said that if the governor has any han kering to go to the senate his friends ought to get busy.
 Coming down to hardpan, there IS considerably more talk of Congress man Bryan F. Mahan for senator than there is of Governor Baldwin for the same place. MT. Mahan has two years before him in congress in which to make a political stake for himself and upon which he can ask for some little elevation In the political line, that is, of course, if he makes good, and few doubt that he will While he won't talk, it is pretty well established tha+ he would not turn down a nomination a s senator. In fact. there are some folks living over New London county way who know the astute Bryan F., who say that already he and his clos est friends are working in perfect har- mony to land this nomination.

BURNS WERE FATAL.
Miss Ruby Lewis, Daughter of c. F. Lewis. of This City, Dies in New London Hospital.

Miss Ruby Lewis. the q year old daughter of Charles F. Lewis. of this city, died at the Lawrence hospital in New London Wednesday afternoon from burns received Tuesday night, when her clothing took fire from a lighted candle which she was carrying. The accident which eliminated in the young woman's sad death occurred at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Edward Leech in Broad street. Groton.
 Mrs. Leech recently gave birth to child and Miss Lewis assisted in the housework and acted in the capacity of nurse during Mrs Leech's illness. About midnight Tuesday night Miss Lewis was moving about the house with the lighted candle in her hand when her clothing became ignited from the flame of the candle. Instantly her garments were ablaze and she was enveloped in flames. MT. Leech heard her cries. Grasping the situation, he succeeded in smothering the flames, but not before she had received horri- ble burns about her face. arms and body.
 Emergency treatment was given the young woman and during the night she suffered intense pain. Wednesday morning she was taken to the Law renee hospital, where everything know to medical science was done to save her life. But the task was useless and her suffering came to an end Wednes- day afternoon.
 The flames from Miss Lewis cloth ing spread to the furniture in the room where the accident happened. After smothering the flames in which Miss Lewis was enveloped. Mir. Deech with the assistance of Walter Bud dington. who occupies the tenement bove turned their attention to ex- tinguishing the fire in the room. and fought the blaze successfully before mRsaSh damage had been done.

MEMORIAL DAY FLOWERS SCARCE
Dark and Cold Weather of This Week Has Retarded the Blooms-Will Embarrass Those Who Need Blossoms For Cemetery Decorations

Heuseholders who watched hopefully for bright, warm. sunshiny day, with a thought for the flowers that are needed for Memorial day, were doomed to disa ppointnent on Wednesday, and the prospect is for a shortage or blooms te be used for the annual dec . orating of the soldiers graves. Gar deners and florists say that this year the season is a peculiar one. The re- cent succession of cold, dark days has retarded the development of the blos soms which could ordinarily be expect ed at this time, while the few warm days that preceded this period pushed other plants ahead so that they have blessomed and are gone. Memorial day this year seems to come just In between two periods of blossoming, as the season may be said to be out of joint.
 The snowbalIs. which can usually De relied upon for a good share In the Memorial day decorations. are mostly green at the present time. but if Tues day and Wednesday had been good warm days they would have been out just right The lilaCs. which are largely used in ordinary seasons, felt the effect of the few warm days and blossomed early. They have gone by now, Wistaria was blossoming in the early part of the week. but this is a poor flower to use. as is wilts so quickly, and anyway the rain has knQShHO these lDOSSOnlS alI lO pieces. In a number of gardens iris is blos- soming nicely and can be used for the decorations.
 To supplement the garden flowers, the wild flowers are som etimes used, but these have failed this year also. Laurel, which is often largely relied upon, is only budding now, it is re- ported. There is the so-called swamp apple and dogwood to be found in the woods, but are likely to have suffered also from the rain.
 As in former years. the Grand Army men will welcome any contributions of flowers for the work in decorating which they have to do and the flowers will be received today at the Bucking- ham Memorial at any time during the afternoon and evening.
