TRI-STATE ASSOCIATION
Reunion in MiIIerton Showed How
 Veterans Ranks are Thinning.


 Veterans Ranks are Thinning.
 The five Grand Army Posts com. prising the Fri. State Regimental Asso. citation, met in Millerton on Flag Day, for their annual reunion. The affair was reported by the Millerton TeIe. gram as follows:
 Five posts, all of which belong to the association, were represented here yes. terday when the Fri. State Association of Grand Army Posts met for their an nual reunion but the attendance was not as large as it has usually been. due largely to the thinning of the ranks by old Father Time. Each Post is getting smaller year by year, and even among the survivors, advancing infirmities keep some away who have been in the habit of meeting their comrades at these gathering. With the veterans came also delegations from the Relief Corps at each place and in nearly two hundred were on hand.
 The session was called to order at about halt after ten o'clock by Com. mander Wilkinson of Henry. Gridly Post. Rev. George Parry led in prayer, after which pr. R. O. Wright made welcoming address to the visit. ors. Malcolm Rudd responded.
 During the business session M. D. Rudd, of Lakeville, was elected secre- tary in place of Peter Turner, deceased, and Silas Wilkinson was elected presi. dent of the association for the ensuing year.
 At about twelve o'clock a recess was taken till two for refreshments and social intercourse. The tables in the dining room of the grange were loaded with appetizing viands to which the visitors did ample justice.
 During the afternoon session a mum. Der of pleasing addresses were made by guests of the association, among whom were Rev. W. R. Timeson, of Amenia, and Comrade Kilmer, of Lafayette Post, New York. Mrs. Hazel Card Whalen, accompanied by Miss Harriet Paulsen, of Wassaic, at the piano, ren. dered some very delightful selections on her violin and also sang. Her nun. bers were heartily applauded by the assemblage. Miss Paulsen's work also was appreciated.
 After considerable discussion as to where the Association should meet next year it was decided to go to Great Burlington, Mass.

Louie Pipe Becomes Boisterous and
 Gets Into Court

Friday evening Constable Rhoades vas commissioned by Prosecutor J. c Roraback to up anchor and set sail through the muddy seas of the village street, for the rocky coast of Little Italy, steering nor by nor'east till he came to the domain of Louie Pipe; there make landing and take captive the aforesaid Louie Pipe and bring him, alive, to the 'jug" there to await the will and pleasure of the laws majesty.
 It appears that Louie had piped too freely in the face of the law, and by virtue of the law he must be made to pay for the piper's tune. While in a condition of hilarious exaltation he had mbarded his own household, chased his wife and children out of doors with an axe and instituted a reign of terror in his neighborhood.
 The authorities were communicated with and writ was issued forthwith and the constable soon appeared on the scene and easily captured MT. Pipe, who was still "lit up" to a considera- ble extent. He was brought to the lookup and lodged behind the bars for the night. The next morning be was brought before Judge Ford, J. c. Rora- back prosecuting, and charged with assault. breach of the peace and intox- ication. He pleaded guilty and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $17.S7, and sentenced to six months in jail. The latter sentence was suspended on good behavior, and Pipe went home to begin bis good behavior.

mer Schedule and Service.
 The officials special "business' car, Number 400, drawn by the observation locomotive "Naugatuck, with En- gineer Handsome Harry Grant at the throttle, came to Canaan Tuesday afternoon, bringing these officials: A. B. Smith, general passenger agent; c. Coley, first assistant general pas senger agent: J. A. Droege, general superintendent; M. D. Miller, super intendent Highland Division; Fremont Whitten, general agent express depart ment; E. W. Burtis, chief train service clerk: J. W. Ayres and c. H. Heiner, superintendents express department, and Messrs. McGregor and German, of the railway mail department.
 These officials had visited stations on the main line to South Norwalk and thence up the Berkshire division to Ga naan, conferrlng with patrons of the road along the line with a view to as- certaining how they were enjoying the service given under the present time table arrangement. When they ar rived at Canaan they bore no outward evidence ce of having been showered with bouquets or smothered in confetti by the people of the towns immediately to the south of us, who are still tearing their hair in lamentation and refusing to be comforted for the lack of north bound train in the forenoon, the incon- venience of transportation, and priva- tion in the way or late mails, express and newspapers from the south.
 It is the expressed desire of the officials to remedy, so far as can con- sistently be done, the causes of dis satisfaction and inconvenience on the part of the roads patrons, and from the complaints and suggestions with which they were generously supplied on their Tuesdays trip they will doubtless make some adjustments in the schedule that will dispel, to some extent the more irksome grievances.
 Among those who met the dignitaries here were President Joseph l.. Parsons and Secretary E.. A. Creevey, of the Business Mems Association, who dis. cussed with them the des irableness of a readjustment oe the express and mail o0l'AOO Uo guar ou'00 o I0ooohoDly ooAly delivery at this station. No definite changes were outlined. but assurance was given that every suggestion should have due consideration.
 The special car and engine attracted considerable attention while they re- mained at the station. The locomo-, tive has an observation compartment built ahead of the cab, completely cov- ering the boiler, and is equipped with stationary revolving chairs The in- terior is luxuriously finished and up- holstered. The car is divided into compartments and had dining room, kitchen, staterooms, toilet, and large smoking or conference room, and is richly appointed and furnished.

Con.


 The adoption of plank favoring the. extension of the suffrage to woman brought to the committee on resolutions i'll Chicago a strong protest from the members of the Connecticut Assccia- tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage. fol lowing the news of its inclusion in the platform of the republican party. This telegram was sent to the Connecticut delegation to the convention, also, and the antl.suffrage organization here may ask few explanations when the dele. gates return home.
 It is to be noticed that almost all of the votes in favor of the plank came from the delegates from states where women already have the vote. The first time the plank came up for con sideration it was defeated, only So have the suffragists rally to its support, gather together the committee for another meeting, and finally win aftel- a days hard fighting. Now reports from St. Louis, whittier the sutfragists forces went Sunday, say that they are not satisfied, and that the democratic platform must contain plank endors. ing the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. and demanding it's adoption by nationaK action. Press Chairman

new STAR, MAKES
HIT At LIBERTY

George Fawcett, the latest addition
to the Paramount Service. from the
Bosworth studios, made his initial ap,
pearanee at. the Liberty theater last
night in THE Majesty of the Law" a
particularly, strong drama written
around the blind goddess" with the
little god of love" also playing
prominent part He scored an imme-
date success. Mr.. Faweett has long
been prominent on the legitimate
stage. Without detracting from the
sterling ability OF the star, it is not
out Of place to give credit to the entire
cast for the excellence of this offer
ing. ..>. -:
Somewhat different in type from the
most recent offerings at the Liberty,
The Majesty of the Law" is the kind
of play, that brings a lump into the
throat on numerous occasions. While
by no means ''weepy" it is a serious
and gripping story. -~ T.. liz
Beautiful Myrtle Stedman, who Gre
ated the star female role in "Hypo-
critics, appears in the leading wo-
mans part in this offering and her
work is very fine. William Desmond
also handles a strong part most accept
ably. Charles Ruggles-not of Red

Madame Sherry as played on Sat.
urday night at the Bijou by the Ray
mond Teal Company made a hit with
a crowd that packed the big open air
playhouse to the limit, and much ap-
plause greeted the returning Teal
players throughout the performance.
That a great deal of effort has been
putin on rehearsing the play is evil
dent from the carefully arranged
stage settings and the special features
that were introduced.
4 At the close of the first act sort
of international dance, with eight of
the Teal Ducklings in various cos.
tunes and with various flags, brought
forth a roar Of applause from the
crowd.
Pansy De Lacour, in The Birth OF
the, Butterfly with the Ducklings,
easily made the hit OF the evening
with her song and dance. Madeline
Rowe played the temperamental Pc
lpita creditably, and got her usual
hearty applause in the songs she sang.
Fritz Fields had makeup as Theo-
1sophilus Sherry that fooled even his
best acquaintances for second after
his first entrance. His rendition OF
the comic part was much appreciat-
ed.
Homer Long was at ease in the
part of Edward Sherry and Claude

cleverly. Hazel Lake and Roy kins'
