STATE TO AID TOWNS
No Question But What Common wealth Will Put Forth Funds to Help Pay Teachers Increase.

Hartford. June 24.-'There is no occasion to worry over the state being unable to assist towns to pay the ten per cent increase in salaries of teach CTS unil the next session of the Gen. eral Assembly," said pr. A. B. Mere dith. state commissioner of educa- ton today.
 His remarks was due to the fact that there seems to be no longer any doubt that tho General Assembly a: the recent session failed to pass the bill for an appropriation of $23S.009 to meet the proposed increased in the salaries of teachers in towns having grand list of less than three million five hundred thousand dollars. There are 101 of these towns. It was as- sured by some that failure to make the appropriation would result in the postponement in the increase in sal aries. Dr. Meredith said that out of the appropriation of seven hundred and fifteen thousand dollars voted by the General Assembly for the support of schools the state would be able to pay the towns the money which they needed for the increase.

Garage Commission Plan
 Being Met With Favor

As result of tonight's meeting for the discussion of affairs pertaining to the municipal garage. it is probable that garage committee will be SC. lected and the care of that enterprise will then be taken from the board of police commissioners. The appoint ment of a commission whose work would lie solely in the supervision of the garage would make for greater efficiency than with a continuance of the present plan, it is argued. The mayor is understood to favor some such change.

(Continued From First Page).

American and British newspapermen. The first Duchess of Marlborough, be- fore her marrifx to the duke, was Consuelo tandefSklt of New York. She obtained a decree of absolute divorce from the duke on May 13 last.
 The hour originally set for the civil ceremony was three o'clock this after noon, but the time was changed at the last minute to II o'clock this morning in order to avoid spectators. Despite this, a battery of motion pie ture men greeted the couple as they walked from the consulate. A lunch con for the wedding party followed at the home of MT. Higgins where the religious ceremony will be celebrated at noon tomorrow.
 The duchess wore a costume of good luck blue, consisting of a simple silk dress of deep blue and a large blue picture hat, the shade hav- ing been selected by her to bring good fortune. Immediately after the cere- mony the witnesses hailed the bride as Duchess and the duke laughed and said he was greatly honored in marrying an American girl.
 He gave his name as Charles Richard John Spencer Churchill, Duke of the Realm" and his age as 49. The bride gave her name as Gladys Marie Deacon, daughter of Edward Parker Deacon of Boston, spinster, gentle woman. No age was mentioned.
 The duke would not confirm an an- nouncement published by several Paris newspapers to the effect that Lord Chancellor Birkemhead of Great Britain would preside at the religious ceremony tomorrow. He said the chancellor was a personal friend of his. but would not say that he had been invited to the wedding. Scores of presents continued to arrive today at the home of the duchess from American, French and English friends.

there for no good, walked quietly
out that way and when within a few
rods demanded 10 kow what he was
doing there at that time Of night,

said a word. The farmer stood dunn
founded for a moment, then started
briskly toward the intruder with his
fist clenched and in a commanding
voice ordered the man to make his
business known or get off the place,
but when he refused to move or
utter a word, the farmer felt yel'
low streak creeping up his back and
the white feathers raising as he
quickly made his retreat to the
house and said to his wife, get me
the shotgun and come on, there's a
man down in the garden that acts
to me like he was about half crazy
The good wife said, why, John
don't get so excited, that's just a
dummy I put out here to keep the
Pheasants from eating up he sweet
corn.
