What a delightful buzz of interest CEN
ters about the preparations for a wed
ding, and what a most exacting. difficult
to-please young person the bride-elect is!
She will plan certain details today and
change them tomorrow, refuse profess
sional advice, and probably regret II
later on, consult this friend and that au-
thority, and probably disregard their ad-
vice. so that really, when the happy day
arrives, the poor little woman often finds
herself so utterly worn out and fatigued
that she is inclined TO give thanks that
q wedding comes seldom more than once
in a lifetime.
These conditions will be the rule, sup
pose. as long as there are maidens to
marry, but hope TO offer such advice
and guidance as will save as much as
possible the inevitable mental strain such
a function involves.
It goes without saying that each bride
will wish TO introduce some little indi-
viduality into the ceremony. This is per-
fectly natural, and 1t will be quite an
easy matter to work out her own ideas.
1t is the conventional rules that are often
so puzzling unless one goes out into So
ciety a good deal and can see how things
are done.
Both the bride and her family are anx-
ious to do the correct thing" but are

and then the opinions of friends or rela-
tives are sought.
Perhaps 1t is cousin who gives her
view of the question. and should 1t hap
pen to differ from that held by the brides
maid or the maid of honor, then the sub
ject is further discussed, weighed and
reviewed, and perhaps after all no real
decision is arrived at.
The very first detail Of the wedding is
sending out the invitations. These are
engraved, and folded once into an en-
velope to fit and inclosed in a second en-
veIope, which is fully addressed to the
guest and sent through the mails.
The wording is as follows:

TO DESTROY FLIES.

II flies do get into the house in spite
of all precautions. an excellent thing to
do Is to close each room in turn where
they are and burn a small formaldehyde
candle, which will also destroy mosquitoes
at the same time. 1t is much surer and
more cleanly than the laying about Of
fly paper. from which they often escape
with some of the poison clinging to their
feet and are apt to light where 1t might
do serious damage.

INTERNAL MACHINE FOUND
 NEAR F. R. BAKERS HOME New Hartford Man Has Re ceived Threatening Letters
 Since Selling Property.

New Hartford, Conn.,, April G. State policemen came here today to investigate the finding of an internal machine, yesterday forenoon, near the home of Frank R. Baker, in a re- mote section of the town. The bomb was found by Charles Smith and Hen- ny Strattman, who took it to an old barn to open it. The fact that they are living today is due to the extreme care they used in taking the machine apart as it was found to contain nitro-glycerine in small bottles, other ingredients and matches Placed against sand paper in such a way that ordinary opening of the box would have ignited the matches and caused an explosion.
 The matter was reported to the state police and a guard stationed at the Baker home during the night, but there were no further developments
 Recently MT. Baker sold his prop erty to the Hartford Water company which is to construct an immense reservoir at Nepaug, and had planned to go in a few days, after his effects had been disposed of at auc- tion, to North Brookfield, Mass, to live. His mother, who is 9S years old was to make her home with him.
 Baker said today that he had, since selling his property received number of threatening letters, one of the most recent telling him that he would not be permitted to leave the state alive.
 Edward F.. Baker, a brother, who is 71 years old, was arrested about a year ago charged with having put wod alcohol into some medicine his mother was to take. He is now under $2,50O bonds awaiting trial on that charge.

BULL MOOSE LEADERS
 ASSAILED BY CROFT
Doctor Declares Efforts of Prof. Hen- derson to Drop Him From Pro-
 gressive Club Were Futile.

New Haven, Conn, April 6.-"Let carping critics have their say. The recent new political movement has shaken the citadel of the political Moloch of Connecticut" said Delmar F. Croft, in his contribution to the literature of the conferences over political conditions in the state, today. Politicians of all faiths are working overtime taking stock of their assets. Many former party plans have gone to the scrap heap. New systems are being born. The electorate of the state Is aroused. Men of business and influence are thinking and planning If the progressive party can arouse itself from the stupor of the drugging it has received at the hands of a few ipolerant leaders at the hands of a few effect good government in the state" 7"
 pr. Croft in his statement replied to criticisms of his attitude toward the progressive party, and declared that efforts of Professor Henderson of Yale University, to drop him from the Progressive club were futile. The reason assigned, that of non-payment oT dues, he claimed did not hold as the dues were paid within the period stipulated by the bylaws
 Concluding his statement Dr. Croft says: "vatriolic personal interviews and neurotic persihage intended to bias reason and pervert truth and justice stench the public nostrils with political degeneracy. Groundless sus- pfcions have separated men in all par ties who should be working shoulder to shoulder for the common veal of the state."

Veteran Fireman Stricken With Heart Trouble While Returning From
 Breakf fast.

Tom" Cross, the veteran driver at No. 1 engine house, was stricken with a serious attack of heart trouble this morning while returning to his com- pany from breakfast. While passing the South church he was seen to totter and Chief Robert M. Dame, who hap pened to be passing in his car at the time hurried to his assistance.
 When asked if he wanted to be taken home Mr. Cross said, "No, I don't want to alarm my family. Take me over to the engine house." Dr.. Henry T. Bray and pr. John l.. Kelly were hurriedly summoned and they worked over Mir. Cross for a couple of hours, until he showed signs of rest ing easier. pr. Kelly stated that the patient was in a serious condition and he would have him taken to his home as soon as the medicine took effect and he gained little strength. MT. Cross is married and lives at 22 West Pearl street.
 MT. Cross has the sympathy of the entire department in his affliction as he is one of the best known and best liked men in the force. He has the longest record for service as a per- manent fireman of any one in the de- partment and received his appoint ment as permanent man about thirty years ago. He has long been driver at No. 2 house and is con- sidered one of the most skillful men in the business.
