TEAM RAN AWAY
Ran Several Miles and Stopped against

Ran Several Miles and Stopped against
 Front Fence.
 The work team of Thomas O Hara, of Twin Lakes which had been left for a moment unhitched in front of the sash and blind factory of Johnson 6 Lindell Tuesday forenoon. took fright and start ed briskly for home. They were har- messed to a wagon containing load or lumber. They ran at 8 moderate pace. Keeping Ill the road all the way; crossed both the Elm street bridges safely, and turned the corner into Main street. after which they struck into 8 faster gait, and came over the railroad crossings and through the village in way that at tracted the wondering admiration of the beholders, though nobody seemed disposed to attempt to halt them. At the Methodist Church they turned into Church street and ran all the way to George Sardam' s, crossing the toll bridge without stopping to pay the fee and without banging into either side Of it.
 Crossing the river they met with their first obstruction the front fence at George Sardam's, into which they crashed and brought their headlong flight to an end. "
 In all the long run the team escaped running into any other team, 8 pedes- trian, never swerved from the middle of the road, and did no damage to either themselves, the wagon or its contents.

Connecticut Suffrage News.

The most interesting subject discussed at the meetIng of the Executive Board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association at it's meeting yesterday was the suffrage parade which is to take place in Hartford next May. The meeting was held in Waterbury in the Lilley Building, and the members came from Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Greenwich. Putnam, Norfolk New Canaan, Norwich, Meriden and New Britain to attend it. Waterbury was chosen because at the present time tine State Organizers-MissE Emily Piercon and Miss Alyse Gregory are stationed there in order to organize the work of canvassing all the voters in this city. just as they have organized the similar campaign which is being carrie out by local workers in Hartford
 It is the intention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association that every voter in the State shalt be convassad in regard to his opinions on Votes for Women, and those who are found to be ignorant on the question will be given th4 opportunity to learn sonnet ing about it. The four larger cities are being organized by Miss Pierson and Miss Gregory, because their size and the mmuber of the voters in them make them the towns will be undertaken by the local leagues and the services of the organizers are greatly in request for meetings all over the State ill which the workers are instructed as to the best methods of going about the work. An account of the work, so far as it has been carried out was given at the meet ing of the Board by Miss Emily Pierson.

"Mutt and Jeff" in a New Book.

muf6 ana OeH m lSeW BOOK.
 ; Gus Hill has had new book written for "Mutt and Jeff" entitled Mutt and Jeff in Panama" The plot was suggest ed by the creator of the most successful cartoon series, Bud Fisher. The book was written and the play constructed by Owen Davis; the musical score is furnished by Leo Edwards and the lyrics by D. B. Cobb. Gus Hill has given the new edition a production costing a small fortune. The story is decidedly nlelo-dramatic, in fact sensa- tionally so, with mechanical and electrical effects that are positively startling and which have never before been seen Tn a musical comedy produc- tion, principal among which IS a real istic reproduction of full rigged ship moving through the Panama Canal and passing out into the Pacific Ocean.
