RRARDEeEE's OPPORTUNITY
Has Chance to Attain Prestige Like
 That of the Late Senator PIatt

Upon the reelection of Senator Brandegee. the Bridgeport says:
 "It is to be hoped Senator Brande- gee will realize the responsibility now resting upon him. He is a man of singular pleasing personality and blessed with ability to rise to the high est rank as senate leader. If this cleo tion in Connecticut means anything it is that the old state wants prompt business on the real issues of the times. She does not want to change her system of running things, but she does want her public servants to heed the demands of the majority. If Sena- tor Brandegee will keep this fact in mind he may attain something of the tremendous prestige which the mighty Platt held at Washington and through out the land from Maine to California
 We congratulate him upon his vic tory. Connecticut is certain to have in the upper house men who will re- cogniZe her interests as paramount"
 The New London Globe says:
 Was there ever a more favored son of Connecticut than Frank B. Brande- gee? Six years more of nothing much to do and all the time there Is to do tt in! And a secretary to help him do it! Which reminds us" of re- ply. to a question heard in a navy fo'castle: Who's got the easiest job in the navy?' ''Why the captain of marines, of course He has nothing to do and all day to do it in and first lieutenant to help him do it." Which is about where the Hon. Frank is at, these delightful November days-and he sure does get considerable more than a cap'n O marines.

Burnham and Nellie Web ster to recover s5,000 damages to a cottage, furniture and other property upon which the So-called Burnham tower fell; causing a fire in which the property was destroyed during a storm at Pine Grove last March.
 The plaintiff placed an attachment on $1,600 worth of real estate of Burn ham and on $4.000 in bank to secure an attachment of $4,00O.
 In her complaint Mrs Bronson ai- leges that her cottage was valued at $2,000. and the contents at $1,200. Tn defendants, answer that the valuation of both cottage and contents is excess i've and. ask that 1t be reduced so that the attachments on their prop erty and bank accounts can be reduc- ed. Through the cross examination it was shown that she bought the place, including the furniture, for $750 from a man named Bradstreet. She has sold off s60 worth of land.
 Mrs. Fife Haynes said the house was worth s2.O0O and the furniture S1,c00. and T. P. Perkins put the value of the house at $2,1OO.

Aston. a builder for 47 yearS, who has built houses at Mi alltic, placed a value of $500 on rns house and S20e on the furniture and said he appraised the furniture before the Bronson woTDaE bought it and said he appraised the furniture before the Bronson worYa;a bought 1t and when 1t was an estate The house was three stories high and was not plas . tered.

Unparalleled Event in Insurance World

All the local policy holders of the Prudential Insurance company are becoming also stockholders in the company now through the change of the company to a mutual company, which is hailed by the insurance world as one of the great achievements in the history of insurance
 In Norwich the policy holders num- Der about 1000 and in the Norwich district about 30,000, while the whole number of policy holders of the com pany now becoming stockholders is more than .12, GOO, 900
 An appraisal of the value of the shares of the company (par value s5O) at $455 per share, by a board of ap- praisers acting under appointment of the court serves to measure the value of the stock. This will give to stock holders $4S5 a share as Iull and final consideration for the surrender of their proprietorship, a price judicialIy ascertained to be fair and reasonable.
 Two and one-half billion dollars of insurance contracts in force approx mates the amount of outstanding in surance. The assets of the company exceed $350. 100000. The annual in come is considerably more than s10O, = 100000.

LABORATORY TEST SHOWED
 DOG HAD RABIES. Dr.. Lewis Took Head to Middletown- Looking for Dog That Were Bitten.

Results from the test of the head If the dog that was killed here on She- tucket street on Thursday evening by Policeman P. T. Murphy after a lengthy chase proved that it was in reality a mad dog and that it was a fortunate thing that it was laid low by the shots from the policeman's re- yolver.
 D. N. E. Lewis, the health officer, took the head to the state laboratory at Middletown Thursday night, start ing off about midnight in his automn- bile, and had it tested by the state bacterOilogist, who found that the dug had 8 well defined case of rabies.
 Upon his return here Friday the health officer at once took steps to find out what dogs had been bitten, and found at least two, one valuable bull dog belonging to Daniel c. Young, Jr., of Spring Garden avenue, and the other belonging to Frank A., Monroe of the East Side. These and all other dogs that have been bitten have been ln- tected with rabies and the only safe course is to have them put out of tFe way. There is a vaccine. however, which is a cure for the rabies, but it would cost about $50 per dog to ha ie 1t administered. The first inoculation would cost $25, and there has to be q more inoculations, each at a probable cost, including veterinary treatment, Of $1.50.
 All IlAG OIl lIle DGdIS were instructed to learn what they could of dogs that had been bitten and to give their Information to the health. officer For their own safety, any dog owners who have seen their dogs around .n company with medium sized, gaunt looking shaggy black dog for the last several days had better learn whether their dogs have bee nbitten and then be on the safe side by notifying the health officer
 It is known that the dog has be een around here for some time and it is altogether likely that he has bitten a number of other dogs during times when he was seized with spasms brought on by the rabies.
 If all tn dogs that have been bitten can be promptly rounded up it may not be necessary to put into force any muzzling law, but if more dogs with rabies are found the state commission CT of domestic animals will be noti- fled and a dog quarantine put into cf- feet, requiring the muzzling of dogs for 50 days.
