conneetIcut Suffrage Ne~s..

The voiceless lecture which was intro duced by Miss Emily PiersoD first into the Ohio campaign and then after try ing it's effectiveness there brought back with her into Connecticut seems likely to become one of tho favorite schemes of suffrage advertising and suffrage propo- ganda. It is nov in use both in the Ten Weeks Campaign which has now reached Willimantic, and at the headquarters of the Equal Franchise League of New Haven.
 There is apparently an irresistible at traction to the passers by in seeing auy- thing operated in a show window. The suffragist standing at on easel placing and replacing cards means the collection of crowd, who would not bestow n glance at a stationary exhibit. The voiceless lecture now in use consists of thirty sheets of pasteboard, each of which Is inscribed with few lines in very legible printed type. As soon as the first has been read by the spectators. 1t is removed and replaced by the seo- ond and so on until the end of the lec- ture is reached. The sentences and arr guments are simple and easy of com- prehension, but they cover the main reasons for the demand of votes for women.
 In New Haven the voice1ess lecture is on view at the new headquarters of t New Haven Equal Franchise League on Chapel street. The League has se- cured building which Is shortly to be demolished to make way for the new post office but although their tenancy may be only sh ort tho members of che League have succeeded in making very pretty and attractive place of their new quarters. As one attraction Co pas1. CTS by, coffee and tea with sandwich s are served every afternoon and tho rooms offer a pleasant and attractive rest room for weary shoppers. Som members of the league are Tn atten ance daily, and the rooms are also open on Sunday afternoon when a musical is given for the benefit of the working women, and in the evenings on Thurs day and Saturday.

THE MINISTRIES
Gave a Good Show to Two Crowded
 Houses.


 Houses.
 Canaan Hose Company minstrels' two performances in Town Hall, last week, filled the hall on each occasion and de- lighted both audiences. The show this year was pronounced by many superior to the last years successful effort. The performance varied in many particulars from the former program, though the same stars shone cOnspicuously, in the opening part and in the specIalties. The stage setting i'll the first part was embellished with an alcove for the in- terlocutor, who sat between two columns beneath an illuminated electric "Wel- come to Canaan Hose Co.,"
 The curtain rose on the circle of min strels, in firemen's uniform, except the six end-men, who wore elaborate satin suits, and the interlocutor, Herbert Weaver, in white duck. The six end men were Harry Waller, Bert Brewer, Howard Lathrop, Leonard Caldwell, Frank Spinnetta and A. J. Wiggles- worth, and they were all loaded with jokes and grinds on the various local characters, Harry Waller being espec- tally fluent and funny. There was sing ing and dancing galore, the songs, by Messrs. Waller, Brewer, Bianchi, Cald- well, Scott, O'Hara, Spinnetta, Lathrop and Scutt making up a song service which, with the encores, would have filled program. The dancing by Wal Ter, Siegel and C'Connell was a feature that pleased the audience so much that the nimble-footed gentlemen were kept at it until they had earned at least their nights salary.
 The "star act" was that of the "Kel- sey Kids" and George House, of Chapin- vile, in which the youngsters brought the house down repeatedly by their fine dancing and clever antics. MT. House, as the colored nanny, made big hit.
 The sketches and sklts that made up the three-hours entertainment were amusing and well played-notably the hodge podge of nonsensical horseplay between Caldwell and Lathrop, the hand-organ and monkey scene by Wig ellsworth and Spinnetta, "Fun in Res taurant," and the Huskin' Bee.
 The program was generously ap- plauded, from beginning to end, and every actor who had speciality was encored. It was financially the most successful venture yet undertaken by the firemen, and will net 8 handsome sup for the company treasury. And ot course the company will have to organ ize another show for next year. It has become an annual fixture.

POTTER SENTENCED
Slayer of Vandebogart Gets trom 10
 to 20 Years.

Slayer of Vandebogart Gets trom 10
 to 20 Years.
 Charles Potter, the one time Canaan man, who killed Horace Vandebogart in drunken fight on lonely road west of Millerton, on November %, was al- lowed to plead guilty to the charge of manslaughter in the first degree, before Judge Morschauser, in Poughkeepsie, Wednesday, and was sentenced to an in- determinate sentence of not less than ten years nor more than nineteen years and six months in Sing Sing prison. In imposing sentence Judge Morschauser laid stress upon the rum element of the tragedy. Said the Judge: "The crime was committed in the heat of passion. It is another case that has rum at the bot tom of it. Rum always starts these tragedies. I think the plea of man. slaughter in the first degree is right"
 "Every sane man will agree that this was an unfortunate affair. It is another case of the destruction of life as the out growth of rum. In all the cases that have been tried before me this week on the criminal calendar, the trouble had it's starting from rum. For that reason we have good deal of sympathy for this man. Potter, you did take this life. The man was your friend. You have done all you could through your counsel to say how sorry you are. The sentence that must be imposed is not alone for your punishment, but to act as an ex- ample to others" B
 Lawyer Wood, counsel for Potter, in summing up, said: It must already have been made manifest that Potter was not criminal or vicious man, but that his great weakness was overindulgence i'll intoxicating liquors. He had been born in the town of. Dover and had lived all his life in this country with the excep- tion of a few years when he lived i'll Ca naan, Conn. For the last three years he had been faithful and trusted em- ployee of Mrs. Campbell, widow. The family thought so much of him tha5 her sons had come here from New I ork and North East. Wan Wagner, who will go free. was~the man who commenced this carousal by carrying to Potter's house that mornlmga bottle of liquor, ' said MT. Wood.
