GIVE CAUSE FOR FAILURE
(From Sundays Daily.)

While Prescott's boom to reor- ganize its company of militia has resulted in a fzzle and become T matter of record, the causes of the failure are still being discussed not only at large but in official circles. It is interesting to note the con- trast in the sentiment prevailing while the campaign was in progress and after its failure.
 There is no doubt regarding the cause of the failure to reorganize. When the recruiting officials were unable to secure a leader for their company it was practically determ- ined that they could not be success ful. In organizing a company of militia, the captain is first selected just as the keel is placed in the construction of a ship.
 The captain in such an instance must not only be an able and eff cient man. but a drawing card as well. It is this man the recruiting officials cast about and were unable to unearth.
 Had they been successful in this effort there is no question but that the company would have been re- organized. A minimum membership of thirty-three is required for a com- pany and it is said that this number could easily have been procured with the necessary attraction.

DELEGATES FROM THIS
 CITY ARE INVITED,
(From Sundays Daily)

Mayor William H. Timerhoff is in receipt of a communication from Philadelphia inviting participation of this city in the coming good roads convention. That Prescott would gain great benefit from the kHowl- edge to be derived at such an event goes without saying and is conceded by local officials. But the incon- venience of distance, coupled with the expense account, make a local rep resentation very improbable.
 Should some local man go East upon a business trip during this pc riod the city executive will be glad to authorize his representation of the city. The communication follows:

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
COLOR HARMONY
By BLANCHE. BEACON

The many elements that go to
make up an attractive costume are
each and every one important. The
wise woman, when she decides that
she must have new gown, has first
of all, material to consider. She must
choose that material with a weather
eye upon the question of appropriate
ness.
Let us assume for the present that
Af1ady has chosen her dress goods
with consideration for the occasion
and regard for her purse.
But her dress cannot be made en-
tirely of the material selected. She
must have some sort of orname nta-
ton and trimming. The present
modes especially demand this, as such
a thing a strictly tailored suit can
not be found anywhere in the city.
Everything is more or less bedecked.
Personally, I adore the present styles,
but, goodness knows, they are easy
to overdoi Please take my advice,
and after you have trimmed your gar
ment, take a half of that trimming
off! Or else-better stil1-get a good
fashion book, buy the pattern of the
dress you want, and copy it exactly.
Even at that, you must realize that
the dress was designed for a type,
and that you, perhaps, may not con-
form exactly to that type. Learn to
study yourself In the Mirror and
decide what does or does not suit you.
Remember that, in spite of the styles,
it is far better to have too little or
amentation or trimming than none
at all Refinement often depends
more upon what is put on the dress
rather than the dress itself.

TELLS HOW SHE
SHOT AND KILLED
HER SON-IN-LAW

Norwich. Oct 29.-Mrs Lillian M.
Perkins was called to the stand in the
superior court yesterday to tell her
story of how she shot and killed her
son-in-law, George Coatchaly, on the
afternoon of June 3, at her home near
Allyn's Point. She is charged with
granddaughter as a result of the shoot
ing. Speaking at times in an ordinary
tone OF voice and at times with dra-
matte effect, she recited the imned4-
ate details preceding the shooting.
While her daughter was away and
she was alone with her sons child and
that of her daughter and Coatchaly,
the latter came to the house. She had
locked and barred the doors and WIN
dows as she saw him approaching and
had telephoned to the place where her
daughter had gone as she said she
was in dread Of Coatchaly The man,
she said, appeared at a window and
asked to see his child. She refused
and he again pleaded with her, but she
would not give in.
Then, smiling, he went to the front
door and began to break down a storm
door. She seized a pistol and threat
ened to shoot him if he did not stop
He paid no attention to her She at
tempted to fire the pistol, but it re-
down and caught up shotgun, again
warning Coatcha1y not to attempt to
enter. By this time, she said, her SON
in-Iaw had partly broken down the
front door and had his shoulder and
one foot inside. Then she fired at him.
She did not wait to see if she had hit
him, but snatchtng UP her sons child
left the house.
Questioned as to why she did not
take her daughters child also she re-
piled that she did not think that Coat
chaly would be likely to harm his own.
child.
A short distance from the house she
met her daughter returning. Together
they went to the front door and found
Coatchaly lying there motion1ess. Her
daughter went to call a physician. Mrs.
Perkins then told of her arrest. Asked
why she feared Coatchaly if he was
smiling at the time, she replied that it
was sinister smile.

GRAND REGENT
OF D. OF |. TALKS
ABOUT SECEDERS

New Haven, Oct. 29-According to
an interview given out by Mrs. Mary
E. Booth of this city, national regent
of the Daughters of Isabella, the Sc
ceding mem berss of the order will be
dropped
Mrs. Booth said:
ST have been grand regent of the
national order of the Daughters of
Isabella since 1907. I assumed the
grand regency of the order when
there were but two circles in the or
der and 800 members. Under my
reign the order has increased to 28
circles and $500 mem bers, and this
probably indicates great 1axity of
the grand officers in regard to the
good of the order. I have led the or
der through several fights for recog-
milton and I was instrumental in Sc
curing a charter giving us recognition
as national order. We have had
trouble before in New Haven which
seems to be the seat of the present
Gisamection, and as we have wealth
cred the storm, I have no doubt we
shall survive the present one.
tIf there is anything about the will
of the majority of the members and
about my reign which certain mem
bers- have occasion to find fault with
it is easy enough for them to with
draw and thus be saved the humi1ia-
ton of bowling to the will of the many,
as all of us have to do
1.-THE order exists in the states Of
Massachusetts Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Illinois. An attempt by a
society in New York state to assume
our name was forbidden by law after
we had carried the case to the courts.
If there is any attempt on the part
of outsiders to form another society
and use the name of our order we
certainly shall take steps to prevent
them
Regarding the admission of the
reealcitrant members back into the
fold upon application in the future,
Mrs. Booth again refused to be quot
ed literally She was pressed for an
answer. Mrs. Booth stated that that
question remained for future events
to determine the solution.
The grand regent was asked how
the national officials would settle this
disturbance. She stated that an exec
utive board of national officers was In
existence and it is presumed that she
will have their advice and assistance
in the coming trouble. AS the ma
jority of the executive board are Off
GERS or members of Russell circle OF
New Haven, which was the first circle
of the order, it is admitted by all that
