Lewis Allen

Lew Allen, of Meriden, veteran newspaper man of likable qualities and considerable abilities, his been lost to sight for some time to those who are too busy to miss those who drop out, unless under their very eyes. But the news of his death, brings memories of a pleasant figure, once potent in Con- necticut journalism, of a generation swiftly passing off the stage. As one after another drops, we are confirmed in our view that the profession loses in them certain original quality of value which is hardly made good by the more mechanical efficiency of those who suc- ceed them. Newspapers are undoubt. edly better than they used to be, but they are more alike. The distinctive ones are fewer.-Waterbury American.

Broncos are Going.

The European war promises to mark the final passing of the wild horse of the range, the disappearance of the Sucking bronco so long associated with the west. Even now there are no wild horses such as once roamed the ranges, and with the inroads being made upon the west by the war, his half civilized brother, the bronco. promises to disap- pear. Thousands of horses have been taken from Colorado, Wyoming and other western states. Not only have the British and French buyers invaded that section, but representatives of the Italian government have combed the country for months. During the last few weeks an Italian buyer purchased several hundred horses and so great was his haste to get them to his country that they were sent by express from Denver to the east instead of by freight There they were hurried aboard a steamer to Italy.

A Notable Visitor

Albert Edward Roraback, Jr., Esq, of Brooklyn, arrived in Canaan, Tues. day evening, on the Pittsfield express, and motored immediately to Twin Lakes, to have some fun with his grand. father, Judge A. T. Roraback. The young gentleman was accompanied, by the way, by Rev. Albert Edward Rora. back and Mrs. Roraback, who are par. ents of his and who live with him in Brooklyn. He plans to spend the sum- mer at Twin Lakes and keep his parents with him, although it is expected that he will spend a good deal of his time with Grandpa and his Uncle Clint, the mayor, and indulge in more or less familiarity with the august supreme court and the chief magistracy of the municipality by trying to gouge out the eyes of those dignitaries and muss- ing up their hair-all of which per sonal outrages he has an unrestricted license to perpetrate by virtue of his age qualification. He is going on seven weeks old. It is not unreasonable to expect that the young man will have moods that will nonplus those digni- taries. At such times the diplomacy of Aunt Catherine will be called into acquisition.

Hatters' Deaths Mean sIoo, 900 Loss

Judge William F. Tammauy, of Nor walk, of counsel in the suit said Wednesday that the '$25O,000 damages secured by D. E. Joewe 6 Co.,, against Martin Lawlor and other hatters, in would in collection fall short of that amount by about $1O0,o0O, because of the death of many of the matters in- volved since the action was brought in 1903. At that time suit was brought against 250 matters, their homes and other property as well as money i'll the banks being attached. Judge Tam many pointed out tbat in eases where conspiracy is charged such as ill the matters case, the suit must be brought directly against the person involved rather than against his estate, and for that reason the death of person releases the property attached in that case.
 Collection of about $2O, ,000 in cash was made on the judgment from banks in Danbury last week and about $2, 900 is in Norwalk banks to be collected.

Pheobus sinking with glowing light Gives fond farewell to all in sight, {, Leaving his rays to finger on As echoes of the early dawn, The hill fresh clothed in green Wears now its veil of celestial sheen Its benediction from above Of everlasting hope and love. The wales below now seem at rest; The purring, winding stream, whose
 breast Is wearied with the suns hot rays, Rolls sunbeams into yesterdays. In limelight too. the Pilgrims path Bathed in the glorious aftermath Of this most glorious sunset, Reflects the glories of the west. Welcome, welcome, breathe the flowers, Nodding to you in their bowers, Placed by loving hearts, SO dear, To greet your vision every year. Yes, flowers to suit all fancies, Liliacs, tulips and the pansies, Greet you with their unmeasured grace; Sweet thoughts of them Time can't
 efface. Give thanks to those on White House"
 porch, Whose hearts beam forth like flaming
 torch! Bestowing warmth of affection On chorus of their election!

Most of the people remained in the church after that, but some went out. Several women fainted and some were taken home in taxicabs.
 When lightning struck the church the choir was singing and some of the plaster from the ceiling fell on the members of the choir and on the organ.
 Dr. w. P. s. Heating, the organist, was dazed for a minute, but soon re- gained himself and started to play the organ. Two women members of the choir started to sing and then others joined in, thereby calming the fright. ened people.
