LADIES' NIGHT.

The ladies' night aud supper pro- iocted by the Canaan Business Mems Association. for the getting together of the members of the Association and their wives, sisters or sweethearts, May 6, should prove an enjoyable event, as it is a novel and interesting one, ill these parts. In some other towns the ladies' night is an annual feature of the organizations program, and has been found not only mutually enjoya- ble, but helpful as means of sustain ing interest in the activities of the Business Mems Associations and en- couraging them to renewed efforts along the line of the general welfare. It is a common phrase, and just observa- tion, that the most elaborate festive functions are exclusively for the men, folks, and the women never get look in. The purpose of the "ladies' night" is to give the ladies an opportunity to see how the men behave at a big din- nor, and to bring the community to- geeher, as it were, in sort of family oornmingling that will do them good.

Next Saturday is 'Clean up Day" in Canaan.
 It is hoped every citizen of the vil- lage will see to it that the refuse, dead leaves, decayed vegetation and other undesirable substance that may have accumulated about his premises during the winter, are raked up and burned or otherwise disposed of.
 Canaan has reputation for cleanli ness and order, which must be lived up to, and this may be done by con- scientious observance of Cleanup Day.

TOM" REILLY.

Ex-Congressman "Tom Reilley, of Meriden, is as much the Man of the Hour, in the newspapers, since his re- tirement from Congress, as he ever was before. At the monster reception in his honor, ill New York, Sunday night, 10000 postal men heard him make "the speech of his life,'' and although that talked-of purse of $50, 900 in gold was not in evidence nor even referred to at that monster function, the genial "Tom" heard himself immortali5ed in a song outpoured from 0,000 throats, which ought to have been worth that to him, even if it was in wobbly metre and of Scandinavian architecture. It breathed the proper spirit, and that's S the main thing. Here are the first stanza and chorus:
 "We are all assembled here To our Champion so Dear,
 The Father of the 8-in-1 0-hour Law, Who has fought so gallantly For us Boys, especially,
 In Congress, when he was on the
 Floor.
 Chorus.
 "Tramp, Tramp, the Boys in Gray are
 Marching;
 Reilly? you're the Champion of them
 all,
 Our hats are off to you, Like the Red, the White and Blue,
 The Master of so many Postal Laws. l"
 Tom is poet, himself, and could not have failed to be profoundly touched by the song, which manifestly came direct from nowhere else but the heart of the writer.
 It is gratifying to learn that the story of the big purse was not a fabri- cation, but prospective fact, and that the amount named is considerably below the figure which will express the testi- monial of esteem ill which Tom is held by the postal men, and which will in due time.
 And we are glad of it, for Tom is of the salt of the earth, and it is joyful news that he is likely to accept the editorship of the New Haven Union, on which he served portion of his ap- in journalism in the days long ago, before he dreamed of states and fame. Connecticut journalism is to be the winner through the tidal wave of last fall.

EGGS AND BALD-HEApS.

Mir. Charles A. Colley, president of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce and editor of the "Chamber of Com merce Bulletin," i'll the Easter number of his publication prefaces an interview with the Commissioner of Publicity of the Bald Head Club of America on the subject of how the Club came into ex- istence, with characteristic introduce tion, as follows:
 "Inasmuch as we cannot supply all our customers with Easter eggs, we offer as a substitute all interview with MT. John Rodemeyer on the subject of bald heads. 1t is not crime to be bald, neither is it disgrace to be poor, but both are inconvenient:
 Eggs and bald-head look alike but the former are worth forty cents a dozen. We say that gray hairs are honorable, but this distinction has never been accorded to bald head.
 "As an offset to th1s it may be said that no one has ever seen bald-headed idiot, and sorely it must be easy for a bald-headed man to keep his medulla oblongata cool in times of mental stress or heated argument. The president of the Bald Head Club (R. J. Orr,) is so bald that when he washes himself he keeps his hat on in order to know where his face leaves off, and when he keeps his end up in hair splitting argument somebody else has to furnish the hair. !"
 The commercial instinct betrays iti self in Editor Colley's qualified admis- sion of similarity: Eggs and bald heads look alike, but the former are worth forty cents dozen.' There seems to be something in this sentence that's left out. Possibly he means that eggs are worth only forty cents, and there the similarity ends. Maybe he means that as between eggs and bald heads, only the former have any value at all From either viewpoint it's an ellipsis that leaves much to be desired by the sensitive gentlemen of the shiny pate.
