THANKSCIVINC'S
 SPIRIT FILLING
 TROLLEY USERS
Suburban Patrons Compose Poem to "COnn Company"
 Expressing Gratitude.

Bridgeport suburban trolley patrons realizing the near approach of Thanks- giving and feeling the spirit calling for thankfulness on their part for the trolley privileges they have enjoyed the last few months are preparing to express this feeling. The following IS a copy of a prayer of thanksgiving which may be circulated among them so that its tone can be appreciated:
 O, Conn. Company, thou mighty power controlling the trolley destinies of Bridgeport and it's suburbs:
 'We thank thee for the service you have been giving us the last two years, which service consists in the privilege of paying for riding in dirty cars. crowded to the limit, notwithstanding that directly and indirectly we are contributing a great deal to the rev. enues of the company.
 we thank thee for the fact that thou art so mindful of the benefits of fresh air that thou sendest open cars to carry us in the chilly mornings and stuffy closed cars on hot muggy days.
 we thank thee that thou has made thy cars with sufficient space for us to get "toe holds and thus be able to ride when the cars are packed fuller than any one would imagine comfortable.
 We trolley patrons riding east in Barnum avenue are very thankful that thou art so mindful of the comfort of patrons on the Barnum avenue line ending just this side of the city line you frequently send past us as we are waiting for our cars two or three cars on that line with not enough pa irons to fill half a car. This shows us that thou art determined one sec- tion of the city shall have adequate service at least.
 We are thankful that the running boards of the open cars have been able to stanGs the terrific strain put upon them by so many crowding on them so that none have broken down and thrown us under the wheels. we are thankful for the privilege so many of us have often had o1 standing out in the wet and cold to watch car after car pass us so crowd ed that we could not possibly ge! aboard.
 'For the above and other discom. forts suffered by us during the past year or so as they will make us ap. preciate fully improved trolley service ii we ever have it at thy hands,"

FEDERAL MEAT INSPECTION Ky Carl vrooman Assistant Secretary of Agriculture

foreign governments. After the law of 1891 was passed the ban upon American meat products was raised by various European countries and our meat exports increased accordingly.
 The meat inspection service, as now administered, is the most thoroughly equipped agency of its kind in the world. It has been the means of se- curing an important part of our for eign commerce and has rendered to the people at large a service in sani- tation and hygiene the value of which can in nowise be measured in terms of dollars and cents. Nothing can ever make the Meat Inspection service pie turesque or bring it into intimate per- sonal touch with the people at large, or invest it with any sort of glamour that would appeal to the popular imagination, yet to those few who are in position to know all that its work really signifies it is a source of fine aspiration as an exemplification of quiet efficiency in public service, ef- ficiency achieved under working con- dition that are never pleasant and that often severely tax the physical en- durance of the inspector. These men work in the reeking atmosphere of the abbatoir, subject to constant danger from infectious diseases, often with their clothing more or less stained with blood or soaked with vapor from steaming vats They work long hours and at high pressure and for compara- lively small pay. It would be we'll if the American people could be brought fully to appreciate the loyalty devo- ton and unremitting zeal of these splendid1y patriotic 'soldiers of the common good" whose work is of such vital importance to our national we'll being.

ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS MEET
 TODAY IN HARTFORD TO ARRANGE THEIR CAMPAIGN

The monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Connecticut Asso- citation opposed to Woman Suffrage, opens today in Hartford. A report is being prepared which will show the growth in membership in the asso- citation during the summer.
 This report will be sent in for the next meeting of the National board in New York, prior to the date of the presidential elections, and will con- tain, in addition to the membership, a survey of the growth of the opposi- tion to woman-suffrage in this state as indicated by the Investigations and surveys undertaken by the Connecti- cut Association.
 Announcement, was made this week that the registration of members has now passed the 17,000 mark, and the figure reached the first of the month was exactly 17,2O4, as indicated by the membership cards on file at the Hartford headquarters.
 This number will undoubtedly be much increased when the returns from the campaign at the state fairs are in, for the organized opposition to woman-suffrage found many friends during the progress of the fairs about the state.
 At these fairs, booths were main tained, literature distributed, and questions answered by members. That the women of the state do not want the vote, but are content to leave the political field to their brothers, hus- bands, sons, or fathers has been the contention of the "Antis".
 From now until November 7th, the Connecticut branch of the National society is to redouble its efforts to bring before the voters the true status o4 women with regard to suffrage.

Kelly Pool takes his defeat
too hard, and has said things in
explanation of it which he had
no right as a party man OF
Christian to utter. If the Knights
of Columbus did support John L.
Sullivan, Kelly Pool has as little
right to complain of their action
as Sullivan might in answer by
criticising the support Pool
sought and got from the Christian
church.
Another thing Mr.. Pool refers
to should have been left unsaid,
and that is that the vets
supported Sullivan. If so and
