TAKES MOVING PICTURE
 OF SEWARD WHARF

As the Corwin moved out yesterday Harry Phillips took moving picture from the vessels deck of the wharf and city. The picture contains, per haps, one of the most remarkable sights ever witnessed. As the machine was in position two gentlemen who had left the boat to make Seward their residence decided as one of them said "to begin life anew" and they proceeded to throw all their belong ings in to the sea. If that picture is ever shown no one will believe it.

The Chatham Fair

A county fair of the cold-fashioned sort. That is what this years Chatham Fair will be on Sept. 2, 8, Q, 10 and II, five days instead of four The widespread interest that is being manifested in this exhibition is proof positive that these annual attractions have lost none of their popularity. At Chatham the departments will be bigger, better and more numerous than ever before. The bountiful crops of tho present season is sure n record breaking showing of agricultural and horticul. tural products as well as unusually large exhibits in the Horticulture building. The poultry show will be larger than that of any other county fair in the state and birds from wide range of territory will be shown. Secretary DartleSs states that the applications for space on the midway were never as numerous thus far before the fair as they are now. The liberal purses and excellent track at Chatham will combine to insure the presence of some of the most speedy horses in eastern New York. There. will be two races each day, first day 2:45 and 2:I8; second day, 2:24 and 2:l4; third day, 2:40 and 2:24; fourth day, 2:Ss and 2:22; fifth day, a:17 and free.for-all. The free-for-all, will be the most closely contested of the eight races inasmuch as the purse is $500 and the society will probably make it an object for the horsemen to endeavor to break the track record. Wednesday, the third day of the exhibition, had been designated as Governors Day. Gov. Glynn will be present and deliver m address

Not Try to Recover Body.

A Torrington dispatch says: W. w.. Bierce, health officer for Litchfield county, stated that no efforts will be made by the health officials to recover the body of Louis Friedman, of New Haven, who was drowned in Lake Quassapaug, July 15. It is held that human body lying in water from 40 to 50 feet deep is not a menace to public health. The decision was reached at 8 conference held Wednesday at Lake Quassapaug. Present at this conference were MT. Bierce, Charles w, EvaTts, health officer for New Haven county; Howard s. Allen, health officer for the town of Woodbury; Sherman Perry, president of the Lake Quassapaug Campers association, and Robert Palmer, secretray of the organization. MT. Allen, reported that he had communicated with T. H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, who informed him that in as much as the presence of the body in the lake could not be considered menace tc public health, the health officials did not have any power to authorize 6 search. In view of this report, it was decided not to take any action.

Bloody Stiletto Fight.

AS the result of stiletto fight which occurred near the quarries in Portland early Monday morning, two Italians were taken to the Middletown Hospital in dangerous conditions, one with his intestines slashed in many places and the other with at least forty cuts on his face and body. Although the police and the hospital authorities have learned few of the details of the fight the wounds of the two men show that each fought desperately for his life and that they fell exhausted by their wounds at about the same time.
 The first word of the battle was received when Ignatius Carra, the least seriously injured of the two men, crawled on his hands and knees to the office of pr. Chedel in Portland The physician gave him first aid" and after learning that his opponent had been left lying on Middlesex avenue had both men hurried to the hospital. The second man was unconscious when picked up. There is little hope for his recovery. Carta' wounds, though more numerous, were nearly all superficial,
 His condition is serious, however, on account of the large amount of blood lost.

 Whats the matter ?" asked the man in the Ford.
 '"Oh, one of those little d--d Ford machines flew into the carburetter, !" replied the other, contemptuously.
 "Is that SO ?" said the Ford man. You'd better dig it out; it'll carry you home.n

Congress and eovsrnment Ownership.

Congress and Government Ownership.
 Telephones and telegraph companies are run on a scientific basis. Expenses are watched with great care. If any thing goes wrong the remedy is promptly applied. Could the official red tape of the Government be relied upon to pro. duce the efficiency of the private cor popatien? We seriously doubt it. England runs its telegraph through it's postoffice department, but financially at great loss. The deficit for forty years has averaged more than s2, 000, 900 annually. The present deficit is more than $8, 900, 900, and the recently acquired telephone service is another expensive experiment.. -Philadelpha Inquirer.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.


 It is now the intention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- tion to hold the Annual State Conven- tioa in Hartford in the month of Octo- Der. This year there will be a strongly political character to the convention, for the c. V. $. A. feels that the move mcLt las made such progress that the women can reasonable expect the suf- | frage amendment to pass its first stage ill tho House of Representatives at Hartford during the coming session. They wall therefore direct all their energies to obtaining suffrage blanks in the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties, and in getting endorsements of woman suffrage from all candidates at the November cleo. | tions. Politicians at Washington are plainly showing that they consider votes tor women an important issue and one which will affect the future of political parties. In Conael t.cut the party which adopts a generous suffrage plank will certainly gain in favor with the women and the party if there be one-which turns women down will indur their hostility. At time when the balance is such that it can easily be turned for or against the Democratic party, 1t is almost inconceivable that the party would be willing to range up l against it the whole force of the suffarge movement.
 Judging by the very brief cablegrams concerning the English Militants, one might have thought that King George freely offered an amnesty to the women and liberated the political prisoners on the outbreak of the war, without their having taken any action. or made any overtures. From the English news papers now to hand it is pIaip that the course of events was quite, different. The first overture was from Mrs, Plank hurst who announced that there would be a cessation of militarcy while the government was embarrassed by foreign enemies. Mrs. Pankhurst. expected that this announcement would be met by. the Government with similar generosity; but there was no such response forthcoming. z. Forcible feed ing was continued and no political prisoners among the women were set free. Then Mrs Pankhurst announced that the Militants out of, prison could not stand by and see their comrades suffering forcible feeding without action and that, militant tactics would have to be. resumed. This second apuodnce- ment 1t was which stimulated the government to action and the threat of renewed militancy brought out the proclamation of amnesty and the libera- tion of all the women in prison for suffrage agitation, Y
 A recent suffrage publication is a pamphlet from the pen of Msss T. N. Hepburn describing the fight of the Hartford Equal Franchise League against comsnereiaIixed vice. This pamphlet is in' substance a speech delivered hy Mrs. Hepburn to the National Collegiate Alumnae at Phila- delphia last April. It is powerful presentation of the situation in Hart ford and of the position taken by the women in consequence of the dis closures of the Pigniullo trial. The pamphlet is illustrated.

Con.

The Eagle says: The use of iAcnbAt tors for babies has been resorted to for the reservation of those who had slight chance of life under normal conditions.
 But now comes a feminist " Alliance" of some kind or other, and prepares plans for a building in which babies from six months old up shall be relegated to a mechanical up-bringing so system atic and complete that it suggests noth- ing so much as dispensing with the services of the hen and raising chickens by combination of incubator and brooder. The motive seems to be the same in both cases. The hen is made to sacrifice her maternal instincts in the interests of more eggs to sell, and the mothers to relinquish theirs in the interest of larger earning capacity. The chief difference is that where the hen submits to the process under duress, human mothers are expected to i flock to these proposed apartments, once their superior conveniences are pointed out to them. There is to be milk room with ice box and sterilizing apparatus, the children are to live in a kindergarten room with a pergola with sandpiles and swings, and ah joy, there is to be one nurse to five babies Just see the economy of that, now Verify these feminists will yet answer to old conundrum. When an irresistible feminist force meets an immovable body, the immovable body will just skedaddle for safety.

er's discharge from custody until ar
engagements had been completed to
take the case to the United States SUI

Thaw's petition for admission to bail
the court left undetermined, taking
the ground that it would be more ap-
propriate for this to be passed upon
by the supreme court. The result of
the decision is that Thaws guardian
