There is nothing like the first

things are otherwise than they are.

WULMANTIC
MRS. Nj. ToscAN BENNETT Addresssa Meeting of w. c. T. U-
 Her Theme Equal Suffrage.

At the regular meeting of the w. c. T. U Friday afternoon. Mrs M Toscan Bennett of Hartford, treas urer of the Woman's Equal Suffrage association, lectured to an enthusiastic audience on Woman Suffrage. Mrs. Bennett stated briefly that suffrage was not new but the result of an evo- lutionary process that dated back to the initial struggle of the first woman protestant against the subServlence or woman to man. Suffrage is not vio- lent antagonism to man, but an enort for personal uplift and stimulus; 1t is the battlefield of the feminist move mellt.
 Years ago there were no public schools for little children. The ma jority of women did not want them. Gained by the few. however. they were accepted gladly and no woman would give them up. So it was with the movement that resulted in woman acquiring the right to a college edu- cation and to professional training.
 Then came the question of property rights in Connecticut When man married he solemnly declared: With He did not do this however, but took the worldly goods of his wife instead In 1872 the law governing property rights was passed.
 Following this question came a ques- ton relative to the ownership of chll- dren Previous to 1901 women did not own the children they bore. This law established co-guardianshlp with the father.
 Suffrage is the next step. Some men believe in suffrage, but do not think 1t expedient. Inexpediency is the bug bear that retards any progressive movement

SLID OFF CLIFF.
Eighteen Carloads of Rock and Dirt Removed from Track at Modoc Ledqes.

A work train was busy all day Fri day clearing away the hundreds of tons of rock that slid off the cliffs at Modoc ledges, two miles west of the city and buried the eastbound track several feet deep, making it impossible for trains for a number of hours. The slide was one of the worst that has occurred at the ledges, where a watch man Is kept on duty day and night. Slides are expected from the sides of the cliff into the rock bound cut at any time so the cut is carefully guarded. A bout 15 carloads were taken out of the cut before it was fully cleared. Some of the rocks that came down in the slide weighed probably as much as ten tons each At this time of year slides are expected more than at other seasons, as the cold weather season with it's rains and freezes causes the rock to be loosePed Slides, however, do not seem to come until for some time after the frost Is out Of the ground

 A fire in the grove that skirts the rising ground south of the highway on the West Side in Dayville called for prompt action by those who were anx- ious to see 1t suhdued before it could do serious damage to property in that vicinity.
