Our Interesting Chimney Swallows

Any day as the sun sinks slowly into
the west chimney swallows may be seen
by hundreds circllng about the chimneys
Of the Court House. lowering over the
opening the little creatures drop into the
shaft to their nests. five or six feet down.
where. since the middle of May. they have
formed their homes The nest is lined
with fine grasses and feathers often times
collected as they float in the air.
Wonderful is the activity the little swal-
low shows all day. Should you look down
the chimney now. scores Of nests contain
ing each from four to six white eggs
spotted with red would meet your eye. and
there, too. you might see the mother bird
which will bring out her first brood about
the last week in June. A few days longer
and much amusement may be afforded
while watching the young emerge from
the chimney with very strenuous effort
and often times after many fall into the
apartments below. Once out. they are
still fed by the parent bird until able to
care for themselves. Later in the season
another brood is raised. which will be
brought out about the last Of August.
The swallows are well worth watching
and a person must have very little regard
for the wonders Of nature who is not in
terested In their remarkable feats and
habits. Ornitholosists tell us that they
hatch but two broods and In the very early
autumn leave for tropical regions.

and satisfactory account Of the progress

He reported every branch of the work of

the reorganization of the Agricultural
College under the new Board Of Trustees
and its coordination with State Board

consolidated. Mr.. Grain paid especial trib-

 "In my opinion. MT. Hughes. If President. would find it difficult to de- eide on the best course for the Govern ment to take in this strike. His ca pacity for hindsight, as we learn from his speeches is highly developed, but as to his foresight we are not equally we'll informed.
 ':Mr Wilson has now had about four years of experience, and he has earn ed faith and trust. I do not think it a logical or sensible thing to change to an inexperienced and untried man just for the sake of change. or without much better reasons being given for the change than I have noticed.
 "Roosevelt was my choice. He has had experience, and is one of the best of Americans, but the machine-con- trolled Republican Party would not have him. Therefore l am for Wood row Wilson,"

Long Worried By False
 Convictions, Judge Dies

Chicago, Sept. 6-Judge Henry ". Freeman, for twenty-five years Judge of the Superior Court, died on train near Grand Rapids yesterday morn ing. Judge Freeman had been in i'll health for many years-and his family always said his condition was brought on in part by grief over the fact that twenty years ago he sentenced to the penitentiary for life three men who he later became convinced were innocent.
 He resigned last year from the bench largely because of that belief.
 Judge Freeman sentenced Thomas McNally, Charles Kurth and Edward Warren in April. 1894, for the alleged murder of James Prunty and his son Peter. When he. became convinced the men were innocent he began a fight to get them out of the penitentiary. War ren died in prison, but McNally and Kurth were paroled year ago.

Cattle Scourge In . Philippines Causes
 Widespread Action

Manila. P. l.. Sept. 6.-Rfnderpest. . cattle scourse common in the tropics has assumed the proportions of a se- Ttous epidemic in the Philippines. LcaHatng the deaths of hundreds of pwoFk anima1s-carabao and cattle weekly, Governor-General Harrison has called upon every department of tine fiasulaF government to cooperate in checking, the disease, which is diff- cult matter because there are practi- caliy no fences in the Philippine coun- try. It has been decided to establish . laboratory for the manufacture of nnti -rinderyest serum, increase the 6orce of veterinafies and build more fmmunizatieH stations.
 The constabuiary troops will be con- eantrated in one province at a time md thus seek to control the epidem- ac. In 1887 the worst of the epidemic occurred and it was estimated that 90 sper cent. of the animals on the islands hied. In 1901 the disease killed 35 pef cent of the animals. This year the disease thus far has claimed only pbout six-tenths of one per cent.

Non Acceptance of Monument Basis of
 Suit For Damages

A dispute regarding payment for a monument has resulted in an appeal to the common pleas court in a suit brought by MT. G. Keane of Housa- tonic avenue against Margaret Kier- nan of this city. It is claimed an agreement was made August 12, 1914 by which the plaintiff was to furnish a granite monument and four corner posts for $260. After $125 had been paid Mrs. Kiernan said she wouldn't accept the monument. She filed a counter claim for $500. saying the monument was not finished within a reasonable time. In the civil side of the city court Judge Wilder gave Keane $64.50. From this the defen- dant appealed.

He Played Craps So
 Didn't Greet Wilson

Culpeper, Va, Sept. 6-"Cooney' Hansbrough, Dr. Cary Grayson's half breed Indian boyhood hunting con- panion, was not in his usual place on the station platform yesterday when the special train carrying President Wilson from Hodgenville, Ky, pulled into Culpeper. The President and his physician came out and were looking for him when some one handed up this note to Dr. Grayson:
 "Your friend Cooney was caught in a. crap game last night and is locked LID. He regrets he cannot see you but hopes you will give his regards to the President"
 Two years ago, at the solicitation of Cooney, Dr. Grayson persuaded the President to stop at Culpeper on his way from Pass Christian, stating that he would insure a large crowd When the train stopped Cooney was the only man to greet MT. Wilson.

Urban Faber, Pitcher to
 His Majesty King George

Urban Faber, the White Sox hurler and one of the mainstays of Comis- keys slab staff, Is twenty-eight years old to-day, as he was born in Cas- cade, Ia., on Sept. 6, 1888. Urban l., so called to distinguish him from Ur- ban Shocker of the Tanks had a diffi- cult time of it breaking his way into fast company. and in the process he earned the right to call himself Pitcher to His Majesty King George w." for he took part in the last base ball worlds tour and figured in a pastime pulled off before the British monarch. That trip was really the making of Faber. for his work on the glohe-trotting circuit was, of such a charactey as to assure him a regular job with the White Sox.
 Faber was first heard of as a prom isinx. ball player while he was stu dent at St Joseph's College in Du- buque.' After he had sopped up a lot of classical lore he entered a busi- ness school. where he was initiated into a little bookkeeping on the side. Thus the mysteries of stenography. and took qualified for the serious duties of life, he landed job as pitcher for the Du-
 
 won seven games and lost six his first s>a<on. and in 1910 his record was eigt- cen won and nineteen lost In the fall Dubuque sold him to the Pirates. and he accompanied the Clarke war rfors to the training camp in 1911. Frederick couldn't see him, however, and in May he released the Hawkeye State youngster to the Minneapolis Millers. He started fairly well in the Flour City, but an injury to his wing soon put him out of the game for sev- eral months. After rest he was re- leased to Pueblo. and finished the year in the Western league, with a record of a dozen won and eight lost. The next year he was swapped to Des Moines. where he made a fine show ing. Frank Isbell. always loyal to his old boss. advised Comiskey to grab Urban while the grabbing was good. Isbell was so confident that Faber had the stuff that he offered to sell him to the White 6ox with the understanding that he was to get nothing unless Dr. ban demonstrated his worth to the complete satisfaction of the Chicago boss. Faber was given a chance to demonstrate his wares on the worlds tour of the Giants and White Sox On several, occasions he pitched for the Giants and defeated the Sox. In the regular 1914 season he won eight and lost eight games for the White Sox Last year he had a record of twenty four won and thirteen lost, and this season his balance is still on the right side of the ledger,

DREADFUL WAR IN AFRICA.

London, July 1.-In the late Dutch (Journals an account appeared of war that was ravaging the western coast of Africa. transmitted from the Castle of St. George, Delmina, in which an opinion was expressed that our establishment,at Cape Coast Castle (mascaAed in the Dutch papers, Cape Cors) would not be able to hold out against the furious banditti, who were coming down against 1t.
 We have received a letter from a gentleman resident of that settlement from which we have extracted the fol- lowing particulars of the original and progress of the negro war.
 It Is dated the 22nd of March and is seven days later than the Dutch ac- count:
 Since my last Csays the writer) we have been full of trouble, alarm and confusion at this place and all along the Fantee coast. It appears that three or four of the island princes having given some offense to the King of Ashantee, he made war upon them. with a vast army, and chased them from place to place with dreadful slaughter till they came up to the Fan tee territory where, they received pro- lection for a timei but being again attacked by at least 10000 men it was impossible to stand against them. and after a sangufnary battle the fugitives could not make a stand and they were )routed and pursued in all directions.
 "The Ashantees having afterwards heard that they had found an asylum near this place (Cape Coast Castle) they dispatched a part of their army Hf1iesher with an intention of destroying the town and I am sorry to say there has. been much skirmishing and several heads taken off by the victors, (for f6ance the abolition of the slave trade. | at is the uniform custom of these sav- ages to put all prisoners to death) MT. lWhite fpterfered as soon as he heard lwhat was going on.

DEDICATE NEW SCHOOL

Yesterday was a great day for Cath olicity in this city. It was especially gala day for the pastor and people of Sacred Heart church. Many assem- bled to witness the impressive ceremo- nies. The new Sacred Heart Paro- chial school. the largest and finest structure of its kind in the state, was dedicated with much ceremony. The occasion was made memorable by the address by the head of the Episcopal See of Hartford. The services at the church were varied and beautiful. The only regrettable feature of the day was the illness of Father O'Brien, pastor of the Sacred Heart church, who for many weeks had>labored for the suc- cess of the program.

LASTPLATTSBURC CAMP IS CALLED
 TO OPEN SEPT. 8
Reimbursement of Expenses Announced - Many En-
 rolled from Connecticut.

The last. Plattsburg Camp of the year opens September and is expect ed to be the most successful of the five. It will not be so crowded as some of the others, and should certainly be cooler. Moreover, the officers in charge gain experience month by month. ' At all events, each succeed ing camp is said to be better than it's predecessors, although this statement will no doubt be disputed by those who attended in June and July. Per hops the August crowd have enjoyed better weather, which may account for the especial enthusiasm of their let ters home. Just now they are on the weeks hike" which closes the four weeks tour of duty; they will be through just in time to make room for the September contingent.
 Forty men have already enrolled from Connecticut for this Camp, in ad- dition to over 400 enrolled for earlier camps, and the names are still coming in. It is expected that more yet will join, now that it has been announced that there will be a partial reimburse ment of expenses owing to the passage by Congress of an appropriation for lIllS puTpOSe. IL IS oSIlITdIoQ IndC the refund will amount to about $44 in each case, or enough to take care of the $30 deposit which each man makes to cover food and supplies as well as the cost of uniform. As to travel, the welcome news is at hand that MT. w. H. Shepherd, District Passenger Agent of the Boston & Maine Railroad, with offices at Springfield, quotes a fare from Springfield to Plattsburg of only $4.65. provided enough of the men sign up for this special arrangement, with sleeper at $1.60 for upper or $2.00 for lower berth. It is planned tol run this train from Springfield, Thursday ev- ening, September 2, leaving at 7:45 and arriving about o'clock the fol- lowing morning-just right for the op ening of the camp. Those interested should get into immediate touch with MT. Shepherd
 Applications should be made to "Of- ficer in Charge, Military Training Camps, Governors Island, New York" Additional information may be had of the Acting Secretary for Connecticut, Anson T. McCook, 50 State St., Hart ford.
