FIRE IN sToREHousE.
Blaze in Building Used for cottor Storage by Quidnick- Windham Co.

An alarm was rung in from box "A at S.57 D. m. Tuesday. which called out the local fire department to extinguish Quidnick Windham Manufacturing company on Bridge street.
 The building is a small stone struc- ture and is used for the storing of baled cotton. The cause of the fire is unknown, but was undoubtedly due to spontaneous combustion. The firemen had a hard time getting into the build- ing as no keys were available, and a good deal of strength and time were required to batter down the heavy door. The door down and stream of water on the fire. the blaze was quick ly- reduced to smudge. The amount of the loss sustained by the company could not be aseertained last night, but the insurance on the building will uII- douDtedly cover it.
 An interesting episode in connection with the fire occurred at local nov ing picture house. The theatre was featuring a London film in which there was on the screen when the alarm was sent in. The local firemen rushed for the doors and the audience rose to it's feet and crowded toward the exit. It would have taken but very little to have caused a stampede There were several cool heads in the audience, however, and cries of 'tHushi" and "Sit down!' had the desired effect and the audience returned to it's seats n an orderly manner.

his. Indeed. Speaker Clark is not bet ter known to them than the Napoleon ic figure from Connecticut And of course he Is known to the press gall lery. Donovan has to be watched for thrills; he provides them. i--s-sS
 Donovan succeeded a great republi- can figure, Ebenezer J. Hill, and it W Is never for moment dreamed that Don ovan would be able to become more conspicuous than Hill had been. The democrats even put him on such dead committees as those on the census, coinage. weights and measures and the expenditures of public buildings. Per haps if they had put him on some active committee, Donovan would not have found time to make himself pre- eminent in the house by specializing there on rollcalls, the censOring of speeches and odd inconsistencies in the house.
 Donovan is the terror of all absentees from the house. and there is nothing he likes better than to call someone 10 order for violating the rules of the house. He has even made James R. Mann, the minority leader. see the er- TOT of his ways several times, to he great astonishment of that leader.
 Donovan has liked nothing better than to survey the house and note the absentees and to announce that he sees no one present. for instance, from the great state of Illinois. Consternation and eommotion follow. as the Illinois members somehow ascertain what Donovan has done. and they rush in to show themselves as present.
 He recently surveyed the New Eng land minority and saw only the faith flu Congressman Greene of Massach l. setts present to represent them, and he called the attention of the house to the fact commenting Greene. Somehow or other he had overlooked Congressman Gillett, but Gillett was not going to have any such record stand against him, and he called Dom ovan to behold his presence, which Donovan said he was glad to do, but that he felt constrained to note that Gillett was not as faithful in his at tendance as he would like that great minority leader to be-
 So it has come about that before members of the house elect to go 70 the baseball game they visit Donovan on the floor to ask if they may go to the game on promise that he will not call a quorum, thus showing them ao- sent, and, if he declines. they purr very sweetly@ around him and stroke his back very gently and sometimes they succeed. But if he says, he will de- mand a call of the house Unnecessary, they do not go to the ball game or leave the capitol.-Washingto Letter to the Boston Advertiser.

Pests Damaging Oats and Corn al Windhar Centre, Storrs and Go lumbia--on Lincoln Place, WiIIi- mantle.

At least three places in Windham Center have been visited by army worms. The newly sowed lawn of Albert E. Weldon is destroyed and good part of his corn and oats eat en by the pests.
 On the farm of George Bingham the worms damaged the oats considerably and the crops of Horace E.. Eaton have been partially destroyed.
 field of oats at Windham Center, belonging to George E. Challenger. were being hauled when the worms were first noticed on them. The worms are headed for Brick Top and unless active measures are taken they will devour everything In their way.
 M.=s Eugene Lincoln of Willimantic reported that he was working hard to save his corn, using various methods of destruction. So far as could be learned, MT Lincoln's corn seemed to be the only spot in the city infested by the worms at present.
 The army worms are active on the farm at the Connecticut Agricultural college and the officials are kept busy informing people from all parts of the state how to check their advance. They have also been found on the place of H. ". Porter in Columbia Mr. Porter's oats were cut but the worms destroyed more than half of them

MOOSE AGAIN plsAPPoiaTED
But Intend to Give Their Announced Parade # It Takes All Summer.


 The committee in charge of the open air carnival being conducted by the lodge of Moose in this city on their home grounds has decided to set no more dates Cor the big street parade. Originally the parade was to open the carnival. last Thursday evening, but the rain of that day caused a post ponement. Then the committee chose Tuesday of this week and the same cause arose to prevent. it. The rain began just after the exhibition of the latest dances by Miss Charlotte Stultz and Johnny Dolan of New York, and drove away practically all of the large number in attendance.
 All day Tuesday the rain continued, and at committee meeting held in pone the parade until the next pleas ant day. If the skies are clear today, it will be held at 8 p. n., if not. as soon as weather conditions warrant. These two postponements have been the cause of some financial loss to the Moose. and the source of great incon- venience to the committee, who have had to keep the wires busy letting the out -of-town delegations know what had been decided. The parade will positively be held. however, and it will be "some parade" the promoters of the enterprise state, when it does occur.
 The carnival has done very well so ahr, in spite of the weather and with the reputation which it now has of being the biggest thing of it's kind ever in the city, fair weather will boom 1t right along. Another big attrac- ton arrived Tuesday, and that is the athletic show, among, the chief of whose features is wrestling. aGene', Westergard, the champion welter- weight of New England. will wrestle all corners. and will give a dollar a minute to any local wrestler whom he cannot throw iip to a five minute Irh- pany the show.

The greatness in congress of Jere- miah Donovan of Connecticut grows. and indeed has gone so far that mem bers of the house of representatives consult him more than they do Speak- CT Clark or Oscar Underwood, leader of the majority, the democrats. or James R. Mann. leader of the minority. the republicans. He is in fact the czar of the house Before they attempt to do anything the members consult him about their coming and their going. and especially the latter, and as he gives permission they do. They also consult him about bills up for unani- nous consent or near there. Indeed. so important has Donovan become that he is treated after the manner of a Greek god. who has to be propritiated before anything is done.
 Donovan has attained to all this in the first term in congress. which is something extraordinary. Ordinarily a member spends his first term becom- ing as much acquainted as he can, and he does not succeed far along that line, but Donovan has mana ged to make himself known to every member of congress Not that he has sought their acquaintance; rather they have sought

Prof. FIsber,s canuvacy.

No one questions the right of Pro- lessor Fisher to aspire for the dem- ocratic nomination for governor. He is radical in his views. and, in the opinion of some people dangerously radical But if he wins the favor of the democratic convention he becomes the candidate of the democracy of the state. It may as we'll be confessed that the nomination of Professor Fisher will not appeal to the conserva- tive sentiment in the democratic party and those who want above everything else to see the democratic party con- tinue in control of the state govern ment, ask with some anxiety and mis- giving how the party can win if 1t Is divided. when it is In a minority in the state2 If the democrats were in a majority and had votes to spare a chance could be taken with di- vision in the party. Professor Fish CT and his friends would do well to consider that view of the situation. It is certainly deserving their most serious confederation. It affects them materially. They do not want the democratic nomination to be an empty honor-New Haven Union.
