Cherry Thieves Freed.

Three young men spent several hours astride limbs of cherry tree near Noun tain avenue, New London, the other night. They were discovered in the tree by the owner, man past middle age Aiming himself with stout club and a chair he took his station at the foot of the tree and invited the boys, as he could not climb up to them, to come down and take beating he had decided on. They refused to come down. If the owner of the tree had not felt sleepy between 12 and l o'clock in the morn- ing they might have been up the tree yet. He gave up the job of tiring them out reluctantly, but he couldn't keep awake and the cherry thieves were very glad to see him give up the vigil.

The New Haven.

In the ten years that Charles s. Mel len has been president of the New Haven road he has transformed It from line that merely connected Boston and New York and gave indifferent service about Connecticut into one of the greatest rail- road systems in the world. It has ex- banded so that it has become an lmpor- tant factor in the industrial activities of every state in New England.
 The traducers, the obstructionists and the interested persons who are fighting the road do not seem to take into consid- eration the fact that the interests of the road and of the cities and the states are so closely interwoven that if the New Haven road is injured the common wealths suffer also.
 When one thinks of the accidents that happen on other roads, where the trains are less frequent and where there is a less settled district it can be seen that our road travelling through densely populated section has very few accidents in comparison with most roads.
 MT. Mellen may have made some mis- takes in policy and done some things that We would not approve of, but he has been man who was building for the future and he is doing things that will be worth while little later.-Mer. ldan Journal ...t.r

 Soloman Halperine, Russian, aged 28, is ill at the Waterbury Hospital and his disease has been diagnosed as pella- gra, an endemic skin disease and as doc. tors agree upon the diagnosis it is be- lleved that this is the first case to be off. cially noted in the state.
 Halperlne came to this country. leav- ing wife and child inRussia, fourteen months ago. Soon after he had the stomach trouble and was operated upon Tn Providence hospital. Three weeks ago he was admitted to the Waterbury Hospital, where Dr. Smith, the visiting surgeon, noted his case and began to study it, recognizing from the first that it was probably pellagra. The patient has stomach trouble, which is one symp- tom, and the rash which is marked in appearance at the wrists, which is an- other positive sign.

Turtle Swallowed e-lnch Trout

The Avon Fish and Game Club has had little trouble this year from depreda- tions on its preserves by the human spe-
 cies, but interesting incidents of other animals that prey on the fish have come to light. Some time ago The Courant told the story of the duck that went fish, ing. Thursday large snapping turtle was caught near the dam at the Ensign Bickford Company's works. Upon dressing it, nine-inch trout was found in the stomach. The boilerman in the factory made a practice of feeding the large tront in the company's pond, and for a day or two had missed one from the usual group that come to eat. Up-
 on examination the trout in the turtle s stomach was identified as their lost pet.

Poor mother Diggs an I presume Mrs. Camietty feels turrible l too l--oh yes, the Warringtons and girls, too, but 'tain't quite so bad as to have rich mems sons go wrong. Some how you allus feel more sorrier fer rich inaooential disgrace than you do fer will be able to live down their disgrace. but them rich young married men-how they must suffer. It's goin' to be awful hard on them, nigh on to thirty years old, to ever hold up their heads ag'in ! How dretful Drew Camietty must feel when he thinks of the shame them girls hez brought on his little five weeks old baby. President Wilson's hart is most broke for them two famblys fer he knows it hurts wus when you're rich tew have disgrace kum into a fambly. The poor don't mind 1t much.
 Somehow I can't feel sorry for them Warringtons and Norrises. I'm so bizzy grievin' over them Diggses and Cam iettys Rich folks do suffer SO in spite of their piles of Hush Money. Wilson hez written letters of kondolents to pa and ma Diggs, so l heer. and he an McReynolds hez told Daddy Camietty thet his son shall be exonurated from all blame, (He'H have Thaw insanity prob 'bly) cause no gov'ment stun will be left unturned to clear him. Mister Camietty needn't worry for sum big bug politlcks folks to Washington and seven the best lawyers that munney kin buy will stand by him till his son is dis charged an honorable man 1 presu me they'll do as much fer the Diggses son if they've got the price.
 My, 1t must be nice to be rich an in- flooenshul. Poor men shouldn't ever hev sons. It don't matter about darters i; they'll git along sum way. Seems to me tho if I wuz merried an rich an he'd sons I'd drown 'em just as fast as- they kum. #s

Connecticut Suffrage News.

Active preparations are now under way for the removal of Suffrage Head quarters from it's present location at 24 Ford Street to the fine new premises which have been secured in Pratt Street, Hartford. Pratt street has many advan- tages as the site of any woman's organi- zation. Some of the best women's shop. ping places are on this street and it is street which is largely given up to den- lists and specialist doctors. It is quiet street as now cars run along it, but it is street much frequented by autos and by women. The officers of the press department of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association will be located in the new Headquarters.
 The Hartford Equal Franchise League which is undertaking the responsibility of the new headquarters, has taken five years lease of the premises; for it means to have permanent headquarters until the vote is won for the women of Con. necticut. The shortest time in which an amendent to the Connecticut State Con- stltution can be passed and ratified is five years. The amendment resolution will have to pass the House of Repre- sentatives of the next Legislature, and be referred to the one which will follow. This means that the first passage cannot be until 1915 and the second must be in 1917. Then there will be the referendum to the voters of the State As the O. w. s. A. feels very confident that the amend ment will be made within this period of five years, the League is not looking be- yond that as yet for it's future plans. The gaining of the vote will mean of course a reorganization of what is not a suffrage propaganda organization into one for the education of the women of the State in the best use of their new privileges and duties.
