this week which follows pretty accurately
the active round of the past seven days.
Invitations abroad for the remaining
weeks Of the old year indicate that most
Of those who are associated with holiday
hospital;ties have the same plans ahead
this month. The debutantes remain the
leading attractions of the season, nearly
all that is going on for the younger set
having their special pleasure in view. So
far the diversions of the late afternoon
have had the most TO do with each days
events, and the teas heightened into early
informal dances and preceded or followed
by supper parties have been SO frequent
that no other program was possible. This
will go on a few weeks longer. Dancing
dress for young girls and others whose
years may not be but whose tempera-
mentS surely are in the youthful cate
CORY is now regularly worn at afternoon
events. Last weeks debutante list will
be appreciably heightened by that of this
week, and with the announcements made
for others the usual winter average will
soon be, reached. The reception at the
Congressional Club Thursday night, which
unhappily the President could not attend
because of his cold, was most interesting
and brilliant affair Mrs. Wilson had all
the honors and accepted them in her usual
charming way. The reception was large
and notable gathering in every way,
haugurating the formal functions of the
club this winter most successfully.
An auspicious start for this week. S

Killed by Liahf.

Those who have studied the strange inhabitants of the Mammoth cave in Kentucky say that the celebrated blind fish from that cavern when placed in illuminated aquaria seek out the dark est places and it is believed that light is directly fatal to them, for they soon die if kept in a brightly lighted tank. The avoidance of light seems to be a general characteristic of the sightless creatures dwelling in the great cave. One authority to avoid the light and animaIcules from the waters of the cavern hiding under a grain of sand on the stage of a microscope. It is thought that the light in these cases is in some manner perceived through the sense of touch--Exchange

 l. ". W. IN HIS ANNUAL REPORT
Head Of The Connecticut Federation Of Labor DenounCes Industrial Workers As Men,

! labor meetings, and you will find suc- cess and harmony will be. your reward.
 LEGISLATION.
 I will not dwell on this subject at any length, for you had two men in the last session who are very capable and will report on this matter during g the convention.
 wish to say, however, that in pass ing the Compensation act, we have been successful, at least in some de- gree, and, while some say it is not what it should be, it is the best we could get, even after the many weeks of patient, hard labor that Attorney Cornelius Danaher of Meriden gave gratis to the Connecticut Federation of Labor, not even receiving his car fare or compensation of any kind MT. Danaher's faithful work com mands not only the praise of our Con necticut Federation, but the praise of every man and woman in the state who work for a livelihood, and some action should be taken at this con- vention to reimburse him for the able and untiring efforts and amount of work he put in on this bill, which is now on the statute books in as good a form as could be secured at the last session of the legislature.
 We had several hearings on the Compensation bill, which were very well attended by the labor men throughout the state, through the ef- forts of Organizer P1unkett.
 I instructed Organizer Plunkett, that if he could not get tie local organiza- tions throughout the state to affiliate with our state organization, to have, at least every G1 of them represent ed at the hearings on said bill, and, as stated before, they responded in large numbers.
 One year ago this week in Water bury, in my report, stated that in less than five years we would have every organizat ton in the state aff1l- lated with this body. Since that time, have changed my mind, and say that if this is to be omp1fshed, there must be some new plan adopted, and now recommend to you that the office of State Organizer be abolished and the method of organization be left in the hands of the Executive Board, to formulate a, plan for said work
 ARBITRATION.
 am of the same opinion as last year on arbitration, it is the most harmonious way to settle grievances. also the most profitable way, and I hope to see the day when all disputes VIII be settled that way. have now served as your President for two years, and wish to thank you one and all for the support given me during the term of my office, and in select ing my successor, I hope you will make a good choice, as it is a high honor to any man, and he should be proud of it.

New Britain, Sept. 9-Below will be found the text of the report of Tim othp A. Flanagan Of Bridgeport, presi- dent of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, which was submitted to the delegates at today's session:
 In accordance with the laws of the Federation, it is my duty to make a report of the work done for the year ending August 31, 1913.
 In compliance herewith, I submit the following report:
 I regret that I cannot report a lars- CT gain in membership for the past year. I could give my opinion on this subject, but will leave that to your organizer, Brother James F. Plun11ett, who I know will do the matter jus tice.
 However, I will say that the or ganizer would be able to accomplish much more if it were not that there are so many isms keeping 1abor's pro gress from the position it should right fully occupy. when you stop and con- sider the unwarranted, unlawful and destruc tive methods practiced by the so called labor organization, known as the I. w. w, or the Industrial Workers of the World. for the IS: two years.
 There is only one bona f1de state or gftnization where all crafts affiliate, and that is the Connecticut Federation of Labor, and we do not, nor will not synpathize or uphold tine I. w W, or Industrial Workers of the World, or any organization of it's character which has for it's objects, turmoil and destruction.
 They are a band of men and wom- en who travel around the country, starting labor troubles, and then par ade as if they were doing some good for the wage workers.
 They never did any good, nor will they until they start right and af1l- fate individually with the parent body, The American Federation of Labor, and use the peaceful means mapped out in said organization. The rank and file of intelligent wage workers will not tie themselves up to the Industrial W orkers of the World
 There are other. reasons awhy our organizations, as we'll as the state organization, do not progress as they should, and they are as follows: One faction believes we should all unite and use the ballot, then all we seek would be accomplished. Another fac tion believes in organizing every worker into a union, and when they are strong and business is good, they will be successful. The average man and woman will not stick to any or ganization that has a tendency to dic- tate or interfere with their politics or religion. f
 I have no objection to any political party, other than to say, keep them all out of your deliberations in your

ACQUITS
 JEROME WITH A
 COURT APOLOGY

Coaticook, Que, Sept. 9-Willia1n TraVers Jerome, acquitted, last night, on a charge of gambling, was the chief topic of discussion, today, among the 5000 odd residents of Coaticook, though opinion was divided as to the verdict. However, the scathing remarks of Magistrate Mulvena, who apologized to Jerome for the indignity he suffered, had a sobering effect and even those, who had been most bitterly opposed to Jerome in his efforts to get Harry K. Thaw back to Matteawan. were in clined to- admit that the court action had cleared the air and strengthened a situa ton which might have grown embarrassing.
 Jerome was on his way to Albany, N. Y, by motor, today He will return to Montreal by rail. on Sunday next, preparatory to Thaw's production, Monday, before the Kings bench on a writ of habeas corpus. The arguments on the writ may mark the beginning of a legal battle of many weeks and even months duration. Thaw appar- ently is contented in the thought that his lawyers are doing all in their pow CT to block his return to the asylum His stenographer sees him every day but Thaw seems to have dropped his "pubIicity campaign and it is under stood that his lawyers told him he must desist.
 Thaw will have been here a week, tomorrow. and the curiosity of the to wnspeop1e has been more or less sat fsfied. F. B. .Whi1lans, the inmigra ton officer, left in charge of the fugitive, said, today:

INFANT HAS TWO TONGUES.

The birth of boy with two distinct xarel1o, 45 Thompson street, 10 days ago, has aroused a considerable inter- est in the medical fraternity. The extra 1ingua1 tegument is connected with the muscles at the roof of the mouth and sets in a cavity where the upper teeth would naturally form Physicians believe an operation will readily remove the extra tongue, 1eav- ing the normal tongue to perform it's functions and they venture the pre- diction that the upper teeth will be missing.
