 The All Stafford base ball team or ganized for this purpose alone, take
 this means of challenging the Hyde vile or Phoenix Riverside tall team to a three game series, it being re- quired that in these games no outside talent be used. Games played with this stipulation undoubtedly would be interesting and crowd attracting and the money derived from them would be worth trying for. Communications can be addressed to Silas Bolieau. The eight boys who were expelled from Stafford high school last Thurs day morning were permitted to return to the school Monday morning. It
 now appears that six of the boys were
 not expelled but went out on what
 might he termed a strike. Two of the Eoys who were caught in the act of hazing some of the freshmen were ex- pelled and the other six members of the senior class, who were assembled in the physical laboratory with stu dents from the other classes, strolled
 out one by one. It is possible how | ever that these six boys also had part in the hazing and regarded it as their duty to leave.
 Senator w. H. Heald, president pro tenn, Representatives M. O'Halloran and w. H. Bumstead and Rev. c. H. Puffer, chaplain of the senate attend | ture at Hartford on Tuesday. The | ratification of the federal woman suf- frage amendment was passed by the house by a vote of 216 to H. and by
 the senate by a unanimous vote. Gov-
 ernor Holcomb, doubting the legality
 of Tuesdays ratification, as the legis-
 lature was called for the purpose of
 perfecting the laws so that the women
 could vote in November has called
 an other session for next Tuesday.
 The governor takes the position that the right of woman to vote legally at the November election may be jeop- ardized by the decision in Tennessee and that the Connecticut legislature
 should legally ratify to obviate any
 question of legality. The special ses
 sion also adopted bills appropriating
 $335 900 to replace woman's dormi-
 tory at the Connecticut Agricultural
 college at StOrrs, which was destroyed
 by fire, extending to world war veter-
 ans the privileges of the soldiers Home at Noroton and, other institu- tions now extended to the veterans of
 other American wars, appropriating
 $2,500 to defray the expenses of the session and granting mileage to mem- bers attending the special session. The legislature will meet at 10 a. m., next Tuesday, one hour before the time for the special session called by the governor, to transact the business omitted at Tuesdays session.
