Morris Washington, porter on the Southern Pacific was taken from his car yesterday and placed in the county jail charged with illegally selling wti5key.
 Washington's method of purveying the illicit beverage was very simple He took orders here, and upon his reaching Los Angeles laid in his supply, toting it back in his car to Phoenix without paying freight bills.
 Plain clothes men from the sher- lffs office watched him dispose of a considerable quantity of his wares to thirsty ones and then arrested him.
 He has refused to talk since his incarceration, and has proved rather stubborn to the officers who have tried 10 obtain a confession.
 He will be arraigned in justice court in day or SO

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
GA. G. Porritt. )

(A. aCF. ROTr1LC.)
 It is already clear that the great est strength of the suffrage movement during the coming year will be thrown into the work for tho suffrage amend
 nent to the United States Constitu- ton. An announcement to, this effect hos recently been made by the Ma tiona1 Womai Suffrage Association which will hold it's annual convention in Washington in the second week of December, and the Wummen's s Political Union of New York has voted to unite it's activities with the Con- gressionaI Union for Woman Suffrage which has been working continually and without pause for this amend ment.
 The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association will send fifteen delegates and fifteen a1ternates to the National and fifteen a1ternates to the National Suffrage Convention in Washington. This delegation will be headed by Mrs. T. N. Hepburn of Hartford and Mrs. Grace Ga1latin Seton of Greenwich. President and Vice President of the will be Dr. and Mrs. Alice of Ridge field. Miss Mary O1cott of Ridgefie1d and Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn also of Ridgefield, the wife of the well-known New York banker; Mrs E. B. Whit ney of New Haven, pr. " H. Parker,
 MISS Annie H. IEdH1DOll or E1arCfOrd, and George H. Day, Mrs. Frank Day, Mrs. Annie G. iPorrttt and Mrs. F. B. Rice of Hartford.
 The Hartford Equal Franchise Lea que announces fine programme of suffrage lectures during the coming winter. There will be four lectures in the course extending over January, February, March and April The first will be given by Professor Zueb1in, the second by Rabbi Wise, the third by MT. Max East1nap and the fourth by Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale. It is probable that the other suffrage leagues in the state will take advan-A tage of these opportunities and secure these speakers for lectures in their towns when they are in the state and easily available.
 In February Miss Helen Todd will be in Connecticut for two weeks, and engag gements are now being made for her appearance in all parts of the state. Anyone that has heard Mrs. Todd knows what a treat is in store for her audiences. She has the facuI- ty of moving her hearers equally easi- 1y to laughter and tears. The one thing that never happens is for her to leave them entirely unmoved. She hits off equally easily the short conn ings and foibles of Tnon and of wo- men, and no-one thinks of taking of- fense at her charaeterizations. So far it is announced that she will speak in Meriden and probably in New Britain and in South Manchester in the vii cinity of Hartford. A little later she will make addresses in the southwes- tern part Of the state, and also in Windham and New London counties.

Banana, rice, chestnut and gluten Hours, are the 1ightest of Hours and a little more in quantity than of a wheat flour is generally used for a recipe; also the eggs used with them should have the whites and yolks beaten separately because they make better carrying agents for the flour and tend to hold up the cooked pro- duct so that it will not fall when it leaves the oven. Some cooks in us ing the lighter Hours use whipped cream in place of the ordinary milk. and if a cup of milk is called for in the recipe they use a half cup of the whipped cream. This usually makes Ia very light, rich and dainty dough which cooks evenly and smoothly.

tivity, from n-l1..ature representations of the 1ordly gobbleryto the homeIy but pa1atab1e pumpkin. And, best of all. many of these pretty favors and place cards can be made at home with very little trouble.
 There is perhaps nothing more efEec- tive among these new ideas than the pumpkin centerpiece, or Jack Homer pie, as it is sometimes called. This is really a most deceptive affair, for it looks like a genuine pumpkin, but is really cunningly fashioned from deep yellow tissue paper held in shape by a wire frame or frame of rather stiff cardboard. The stem and leaves are made of dark green paper. The 1n- teIfor of the pumpkin is hollow and can be filled with small favors for the guests, with ribbons leading from it to each plate.
 This table receives an added touch of gayety from having the edges wreathed with pumpkin vines adorned both with blossoms and miniature fruit. The vines themselves are made of wire wound with tiny twist of cot ton batting and covered with green pa per. The small pumpkins are simply balls of cotton on q wire stem covered with yellow crape paper. while the blossoms are of yellow tissue
 Just below the lace trimmed cloth this same table is draped with a roll of turkey paper, which is most, efEec- tive This is q white crape paper on which are printed large turkeys in nat tural eoIors. It is gathered al( ng the upper edge very slightly and fastened by pinning under the edge of the table cloth
 rr7t ,.I, aa5. = iY tt with easel backs that can be made from the little turkeys cut from the paper napkins that are got out for Thanksgiving. These little gobbIerB should first be mounted on heavy card board and then touched up with a little gold paint on the feathers to give them hand painted effect
 A most amusing turkey centerpiece represents the piece de resistance of the Thanksgiving table as a very sporty bird indeed. He wears a high silk hat, he carries cane under one arm, or, rather, under one claw. and in his beak is cooked long black cigar. His feath- CTS are white and brown and his wat ties a brilliant red, and his tail is spread to it's greatest extent But, with al he is al hollow sham, and his in terior can be used as a receptacle for favorS or loonbons.
 One of these gay birds would certain Iy create great deal of merrimeut at the dinner table.
