Each guest was allotted a string, which she was to follow to its end, where she found a neat apron as the prize.
 The string assigned to Miss Devine led her a merry chase, through the various rooms of the house, finally ter minating in chamber, where, on the bed she found the "shower, which had fallen in abundance, in the form of pantry and kitchen utensils, all use- fnl and of practical value, and suffi- cient to fully equip the new home which is being erected on Prospect Avenue.
 Eighteen young ladies comprised the party, of whom seven, including Miss Devine, were school teachers. At the close of the cobweb disentanglement refreshments-ice cream and cake were served and games were played.

A Useless s Body.

The State of Connecticut possesses a State Board of Mediation and Arbitra- tion. It IS a perfectly useless body, say the New Haven Journal. Courier, not because it cannot do something in behalf of industrial peace when indus trial war is declared, but because it won't act. It is true that the Legisla- ture has made no provision for the live l;hood of the Commission, and very likely if it took to the field the mem bars would have to pay their own ex- penses. But the opportunity to give the public valuable service is there and since the law directs that the con- mission "shall" proceed to a scene of disturbance the commissioners should either proceed or retire from office. Men can be found who will proceed at their own expense if necessary and put the public into possession of the facts The State Commission could at this moment perform a most useful service in ascertaining what the points in dis pute are between the Shore Line cleo. tric railroad and it's employees. A considerable section of the State is be. ing inconvenienced, but no information has been forthcoming from the one body that can obtain and disseminate it. That done, public opinion might do the rest At least it would be given the opportunity.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.


 The Connecticut delegates to the sui frage conferences in Chicago have just returned with long accounts of all that happened during the momentous days that they spent there. Mrs. George H. Day, who was interviewed at her home pressed with the enormous number of suffragists who were to be seen in Chicago. The politicians were there in force, she said, and swarmed in all the corridors of the hotels and on the avenues. But the suffragists swarmed all over the city, and everywhere to be seen votes for women buttons and badges and the colors of the two great suffrage organizations.
 Asked about the parade Mrs. Day was enthusiastic over the courage and spirit shown by the women who marched for suffrage in the teeth of gale of wind and heavy storm of rain. Mrs. Seton, who led the Connecticut division, she said, stepped along the avenue looking neat and trim as q military leader and walked as jauntIly as if she were leading her company unde: the most favorable auspices. Mrs. Porrit5 too marched the whole distance in spite of the storm and several of the younger women made good i'll uphOlding the Connecticut banner and bearing the banners of the eight Connections counties.

WEXFORD ON THE NOMINATION.
Roosevelt Will Work for Hughes, and
 Progressive Party Dies.

Henry R. Whitford, who leaves to- day for Bridgeport to assume his duties as department manager in the Hnv- land Company store, was asked Mon day, to give his views on the nomina- tion of Hughes and the withdrawal of Roosevelt. Mir. Whitford has been the, recognized head of the local bull mosses party and made good run for state senator on the progressive platform i'm 1914, when he was endorsed by tlpe democrats.
 He said the outcome of the Chicago conventions was about what he bnl looked for. and he believed 1t was iu keeping with a pre.arranged program in every detail. "Colonel Roosevelt will pitch in and support Hughes for the election, said MT. Whitford, and the Progressives generally will do ttr, same thing. The Progressive party, as an organization is now out of exist ence."
 MT. Whitford with his family, will move at once into his recently acquiredR and pleasant cottage on the MilEorIz shore, which they will occupy at least. during the summer season.

Woman Killed,

The body of Mrs. Harry Tiffany, a resident of Torrington, 49 years of age, was found early Wednesday morning on the railroad siding in the rear of her home. The head had been severed from the body, and it is supposed that the woman in fit of dement, a, threw herself under the wheels of train as it moved from the siding, either late at night or early in the morning. A special train came from Norfolk to Tor rington shortly after midnight, and u special train which had brought the Waterbury Elks, was left on this track until early that morning. Her family supposed that she was safe in the house until boy living near the track found and reported the case. The woman had been showing signs of derangemsnt and preparations were being made for her removal to an asylum. It is thought that the proposed separation from her family was the cause of her act. A note scrawled on a pad of paper bid good by to her friends, in which she said no one was to blame but herself. She leaves her husband and several children.

Raised s25o.ooo for Asylum.

The campaign to raise $25o, 900 for the New Haven Orphan asylum came to a triumphant close at the Hotel Taft, Wednesday evening, where at the dinner which marked the close of the ten day campaign there were an. nounced total subscriptions amounting to over $5O,000, which brought the grand total for the campaign to $250,- 142.6O. It is probable that when the unofficial returns have been checked up and audited, the total will be even larger, for in the rush of events at the dinner Wednesday evening the sub scriptions came so fast that the check.

He stayed there all night and the next day he walked home to New Boston, a dis tance of 5 miles. He arrived in New Boston at 2:30 p. m. He was some six hours making the trip. Where is the boy that would think he could or would do the stunt? Uncle Dan came out all right the next day, and when that band of gipsles came along Thursday Uncle Dan tried to convince them that he was some sharp, but they got 30 cents from him and when he was told to look through his pockets and see if that was all, To and behold, they had got the last 80 cents He was told to go and de. mand that money, which he did, and with some threats he got his money back. Uncle Dan is some sport and quite hunter. He shot a nice deer two years ago ana several foxes and does lots of trapping. AS have said, he's some sport.
