Will it rec ognize, respect and protect the rights of foreigners residing within its bor- ders? In view of the unhappy exper- fence of the preceding two years, in dealing with the Madero administra- tion. in our efforts to protect Ameri- cans in Mexico and to adjust diplo- maticaNy important national questions at issue with the Mexican government, it was deemed expedient to ask some assurances upon these subjects. As to all these questions we requested of Huerta and his government some as- surances of their speedy and satisfac- tory adjustment, and while awaiting his reply the twelve days slipped away. MT.

 Judge Fuller says that this spring is not the worst ever, although a great many people are willing to go as far as that in giving it a bawling out He recalls that in the spring of 1875 there was not a cherry blossom to be seen before the twenty-first day of May. This spring is real balmy compared to what the April and greater part of May 1875 turned in as weather exhib- its, he says, and as for 1sS4-well, this spring has had no chance as yet to morial day-but on May 30 of the year mentioned there was a frost that cut the leaves from the trees, nipped corn just sproutlng from the ground and turned black much of the spring vegc- tation.

 -"Much of our time is taken in cor recting wrong impressions created by the antis," said Mrs. w. J. Bartlett Thursday afternoon in discussing a matter that developed as a result on secretary of the Connecticut Temper ance union in addressing the temper ance gathering at the Congregational church, Wednesday. It is not to be understood from this, however, that Mir. Spooner is an nnti, but his criti- frage association did not work at the last session of the legislature for the passage of the bill providing that women be permitted to vote on the license question in Connecticut raised the ire offSome of the suffragists among his. audience and they imrne- diately proceeded to set him right on the matter and to ferret out where his impression came from, for he Is one of the ablest and best posted of New England states.
 The suffragists took particular ex- | ception to the claim that a paid speaker, an attorney, represented them in opposition to the bill permitting women to vote on the license question when that bill was up for a hearing | before legislative committee. Mrs. | Bartlett says as to this that, no paid | speakers represented the suffragists at | Hartford at the last session. On the
 other hand, she says that Mrs. Ella | B. KendriciS, a past corresponding sec | Tnfar-V of CN S dfd ha | fore the excise committee in favor of | the bill to let women vote on the li- | cense question and that the c. W. S. | A. was anxious for the bill to pass, as | this would have given them additional
 rights at the polls.
 The energies and the organization | of the c. w. S. A. at the capitol, how | ever, were concentrated on the effort
 to obtain an amendment to the state ! constitution that would have conferred | full suffrage rights upon them. They were not concentrating their efforts | on the passage of the bill providing | that women vote on the license ques- | tion, anxious though they were that il | become a law.

But this is not true. Huerta became president through Madero and Lascu- rains resignations. Madero.s death a recital of the sequence of events will now make clear:
 February 18th, the government of Madero was overthrown.

 February 22nd, about midnight, Madero was killed while being trans ferTed from the palace to the peniten- tiary.

 Thus Huerta became provisional president of Mexico February 19, 1913. Mir. Taft ceased to be president of the were, thus, twelve days in which Pres ident Taft could have extended recog- milton. Why did he not do so?

 'Tt was the judgment of the dipIo- mats representing foreign countries in Mexico that the provisional govern ment in Mexico had been installed ir compliance with the Mexican consti- tuition and Mexican precedent and that it's speedy recognition would be help- ful in restoring normal conditions through the country. The American ambassador shared this view and ask. cd for instructions.

Horton went to Providence, where he was connected with hotels until May, 1907, when he came to Dan- 1eIson and took over the Attawaugan hotel as one of the owners in the S p. Horton company. Later he became the sole owner.
 During his residence in Danielson
 MT. Horton gave the local and travel 1 ing public careful and accommodate Ing service, being always anxious that they be pleased He became very we'll known and liked by the people | in this and surrounding towns and wa popular with the travelling men. He | was good citizen, interested in the
 town and in its people, and a man ot l type that every community deeply | regrets to lose. Throughout his Hines.

YOUTH IN OLD AGE
How to Live to be One Hundred
 Years Old.

With proper attention to diet. pre- vention of colds. exercise. plenty of sleep. proper care of the skin and the use of 6 strengthening tonic like Ninol, years may be added to ones life.
 A Civil War Veteran, MT. W. H. Bowers of SteubenviIle, Ohio, says: 'T am 77 years of age: I suffered from general weakness nervous break down and dizziness An old doctor recommended Vinol It built me up so that I was able to go to work as strong and we'll as ever"
 The reason Ninol is so beneficial to old people is because it contains the very elements needed to replace de- clining strength with renewed vigor. viZ-: the medicinal elements of fresh cod flyers without oil. peptonate of iron. beef peptone and a mild tonic wine.
 If Vinol fails to build up the feeble weakened system of old people. we will return the amount of money paid us for it. c. c. Engler. Broadway Pharmacy, Norwich.
