J. Henry on the Legislature.

4. F. Howe, in the New York, Sum day Herald, quotes J. Henry Roraback thus:
 "A Roraback Legislature" as tho present General Assembly has been described time and again by the demo- cratic press of the state, it has made good the word which Mir. Roraback gave last fall, when he spent everS waking moment in devising ways and means of persuasiveness to induce the voters to restore the republican party to power. MT. Roraback said yesterday:
 Ut is the best General Assembly the state has had in many years. It will have to make no apologies, and we shall have to make no apologies for it. Its record speaks for itself. It has worked hard and conscientiously and intelligently, and this will be better state to live in because of its existence and its action. No, I won't go to Europe this summer. I've had fighting enough here. My own little camp at Twin Lakes looks good enough to nue."

SMOKER TONIGHT
B. M. A. Meeting Ought to be of Un-
 usual Interest.

This evening the regular monthly smoker and buisness meeting of the Canaan Business Mems Association will be held in Odi Fellows Hall, and President Holsapple is desirous that there be full attendance of members and other citizens who may not be members. In view of the interest manifested at the rally meeting in Town Hall, two weeks ago, it is reason- able to expect an unusually large at- tendance especially as there are several matters of general importance to be brought up and considered.
 Besides the matter of the One Hun dred Members campaign, which will be given new impetus. and which should interest every Canaanite who has tue welfare and progress of the community at heart, there will be questions of general interest considered; reports of committees already appointed; pre- parations for Memorial Day, Fourth of July and the firemen s tournament, the necessity of action on the improvement of certain pieces of road and sidewalks and plans for the summer work. Efforts are being made to secure the presence of an interesting speaker from out of town, as an extra attraction.
 It is hoped the citizens generally, in cluding the "Aw. what does it amount to ?" element, will come out and take part, or listen to the proceedings.
 It isn't your town-it's YOU"

K0SKY'S MUSICAL PRANK
Old-Time Canaaaite Played Devils
 Dream at a Funeral.


 Dream at a Funeral.
 Mrs. Levi Bronson, of East Canaan, is another native Canaanite who re- members Kosky Hodge. an old.timo resident here, who died recently fa Winsted. She recalls that he was not only musical but miscliieyurs. and that his propensity for joking was given free vein, regardless of time, place or provocntion. One instance of this she remembers with particular distinctness.
 Kosky was organist in church in another town, and was summoned one day to play for the funeral of young woman who had borne somewhat shady reputation during the latter end of her life, and was known to have been what was dubbed "high stppper." Koslsy was wise to the gem ornl estimate of the character of tho departed, and as the remains were brought into the church and up the aisle by the pail. bearers, he astonished the assembled mouruers and friends by striking up-not the "Dead March, " hut the Devils Dream" in slow and dirge-like metre, which had the effect of detracting somewhat from the dis maj solemnity of the occasion.

Bert" Roraback's New Church.

Rev. Albert E. Roraback, pastor of the Church of the Evangel, ill Brook. lgn, has the satisfaction of seeing sub. stantial beginning of the project set afOot by himself for the construction of a new church edifioe to cost $4O,0O0, on the site of the present building. Ii will take in the entire plot, 100x10C feet, ,at Bedford avenue and Hawthorne street. A campaign of canvassing by 9 teams, beginning last week, has re suited in the pledging of generous sums, and the result is assured.
 The Brooklyn Eagle of last Sunday said: "Plans were recently adopted for this new building. and it is expected that the church will be open in time for next Easter's services. The Rev. Albert Edward RorabaclG, pastor, is en- thusiastic over this new venture, and it was through his efforts that the plans were finally adopted. He came to the church five years ago, when the mem- bership was about 100, and in the few years he has been pastor, he has brought the membership to over 800. The present building is entirely too small to accommodate the numerous so- cieties and organizations affiliated with the church, and the new building will have adequate accommodations for all. :"

Threatened with Extinction.

According to the report of the U. $.
 Department of Commerce, April 30, the
 United States is the greatest producer
 of tobacco ill the world, and the great.
 est exporter, the greatest importer, and
 the greatest consumer. Our production of leaf of all sorts averages somewhat more than 1000, GOO, 900 pounds year,
 having value to the producers of about
 Sl00, 000:0 900. An enormous quantity is xpOrted-considerab more than a third of the production in normal years for the sales of tobacco abroad are ex- celled by only seven ot the many pro- ducts America sends to other countries. It is not generally known, however, that this immense industry is threaten ed with extinction. The same forces which are operating against liquor in- tend to take up tobacco next. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union is leading the fight. The objects of the Union are the total suppression of the production, sale and use of both liquor and tobacco. Liquor was taken up first, but the organization is already at work to suppress the tobacco industry. At the last convention of the Kentucky w. 0. T. U. a resolution was passed tobacco on the grounds of morality and for the benefit of the pub- lie. The Ohio convention also attacked and the same forces succeeded in having a bill introduced into the last session of the Louisiana legislature | seeking to prohibit the manufacture md sale of the weed in that state.

NEW SMYRNA, Jan. Fire of an
unknown origin destroyed the home of
H. N. Robertson and family on South
Palmetto street last Saturday night,
the blaze having gained such Roadway
by the time it was discovered that all
efforts to save either the building or
it's contents were useless.
The fire was first discovered by l..
r. Pillard, but by this time the flames
had turned the interior of the house
into furnace. The alarm was given
and crowd quickly gathered, but no
effort to save anything could be made
Nobody was at home when the fire
started and it is believed the blaze got
its start from the exploding Of lamp
or a spark from the fireplace.
Insurance of $1,000 was carried on
the home and a lesser amount on the
furnishings.

Mr.. Whit Riggs, who made the
presentation speech, complimented
the boys upon their accomplishment
and paid high compliment to Coach
Commagere and the college for the
| wonderful work that had been done
in athletics and for the prominence
it had given Covington in the athletic
world. He laid special stress on the
fact that the athletic club Of the col
lege is non-sectarian and open to all
the young men of the parish, the
only requirement being that the ap-
plicant should pay his dues and be
gentleman. He thought that every
young man should be interested in
the club, because it was good thing
for the member and it was a good
thing for Covington.
Quite a large crowd was gathered
in the seats at the stadium, where
two laps were made in finishing the
race, and from this stand Mr.. Riggs
made his address. There was lOuG
applause for the complim entary re-
marks to the college and to Coach
Commagere, also in his reference to
the winners, when he complimented
them for their pluck and endurance

makes the brook of industry flow
and without it the homeless farmer
can hardly hope for a home or the
manufacturing industry expect to
prosper. The farmers of the United

money will mean millions of dollars
