Not Probable that Will of William Ross
Will Be Contested.
"The rumor that the will of the late
William Ross of Chaplin, that la to be
heard for admission on the 14th instant.
Is to bo contested by distant blood re
lations of the deceased, is considered
absurd by those who have known Mr,
Ross for years. He was a man of un
usually keen intellect and one who re
tained his faculties until the very last.
The document was simple, brief and
thornughiy specific, and waa witnessed
in the correct legal manner by compe
tent witnesses, and was drawn by ex
Attorney General William A. King of
this city
Several of the business -men of the
city. In speaking of tie rumored con-,
test by the cousin f,f the deceased not
mentioned In -will, said: "It is Im
possible to -conceive any grounds upon
which riyone could possibly attempt
to cutest the will. llr. Ross was al
ways known for his clear-sightedenss
in all business transactions, and was
particularly well blest with unimpaired
mental faculties, even up to the time of
his death."
Tiredof of Waiting, Grocers Try Law's
Coercion.
Henry Vanasse. who lives near Bing
ham's bridge with his wife and six
children, had his horse and wagon,
with which he was accustomed to drive
with to his work In the city and bring
his children in to school every morn
ing, attached for $38.18 and costs, In
favor of Mullen & St. Onge for an old
Grocery and provision bill that was
outlawed. Mr. Vanasse went to Mullen
& Stt. Onpe and tried to compromise,
and offered to settle the old bill on a
small weekly basis payment, but the
creditors sought to recover the full
bill, interest and costs.
Fortunately for Mr. Vanasse the
bon J for the horse and wagon was
held by his attorney, and he was not
deprived of the use of his means of
going to and from his work dally and
carrying ills children to school. The
case was returnable before Justice of
the Peace Curtis Dean. Attorney
George TV. Melony represented the
plaintiff in the action, nnd Attorney
Thomas X Kellev had the defendant's
interests In charge. The case was set
tled nut of court Saturday afternoon
in favor of Henry Vanasse. as Mullen
& St. Ontre finally decided to compro
mise and agreed to eliminate the costs
and interest from the case In hand and
allow Mr. Vanasse to settle the old bill
hv paving the sum of $1 a week until
settled up.

Slow Game, in Which New London is
Defeated by Local Players.
The Bulkeley High school of New
London sent a team of basketball play
ers to this city Saturday night, and
from the way the different men shot
baskets in practice, the spectators were
elated at the prospect of a good, fast,
close came; but unfortunately when
tne same started there was nothing
brilliant about the playing of either
team. The visitors were so lamentably
weak in nearly all departments of the
game that thev almost failed to score
in the first ha'lf.
' Windham played listlessly, and did
not at any time show the speed and
dash that usually characterizes its
play. Hulkeley had hut a- few scatter
ing tries at the basket In the first half,
and the score at the close was 18-2. and
should or could easily have been a
shut-out had Windham not been un
necessarily careless and permitted Clark
to t obtain an easy shot without the
least 'tTort to stop him.
The second half was played a trifle

ALERTS' OYSTER FRY.
Annual Event for Members Proves a
Huge Success.

nual oyster fry In its quarters in the
Bank street house Saturday evening.
When supper was announced the long
tables In-the grill room presented a
fine appearance, being laid in the most
approved stag banquet style.
.It was strictly a company affair, and
'practically the only guests were the
board of fire engineers and Chief Wade
T Webster of the city department. The
company stweajrd and assistants re
teived just meed of praise for the ex
cellent manner in which the supper
was prepared and served.
The supply of oysters was donated
bv J. H. Hooker, who was present to
enjoy th') time with the boys. Cigars
for the enjoyable evening, Wlndhams,
were furnished by ex-Chief Leonard.
The balance of the. evening was spent
informally, with games of pool and a
number of friendly matches at check
ers. Assistant Engineer John Rourke
succeeded in carrying off the honors In
the latter sport, after a hard tussle
with a local press representative.
OBITUARY.
Assistant Secretary of State John G.
Mitohell.
John G. Mitchell, a well known at
torney of Hartford, and assistant sec
retary of state, died at his home in Co
lumbia Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
of st imach trouble. Mr. Mitchell had
onlv been ill since Wednesday evening,
ami his death was a shock to relatives
iid friends in this city.
Mr. Mitchell was born in Ireland, and
came to this country when about 20
vears old. He was a prominent lawyer
in the Capitol City, and had bnt re
cently acquired a residence in Colum
bia, having lived there a little over a
vea r.
At the time Attorney Huber Clark
was secretary of state he appointed
Attorney Mitchell his chief clerk, and
the well known attorney has held that
office ever since. He was about 45
years old, and leaves, besides his wid
ow, three small sons.
Good Homes for Seven Orphans.
Seven orphans were at St. Joseph's
church Sunday morning, brought here
by a representative of one of the
Catholic orphans' homes in Boston.
Good homes were found for all of them,
the children being placed In the homes
of a number of the parishioners.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Will Hays to Settle Matter of City
Clerkship at Tonight's Meeting.
The meeting of the board of alderi
men this evening promises 'to be un
usually interesting, as the matter of
the city clerkship is to come up. It is
uncertain what will be done regarding
the matter, for the members of the
hoard seem to be at variance concern
ing in? disposition of the matter.
Should the present incumbent, Fred A.
Sanderson, resign, the work for the
board would be simply to appoint a
successor to hold office for the balance
of the term or until the regular elec
tion next winter. Some of the board
are said to favor the appointment of
an assistant city clerk, which power is
vested in the board in an emergency
of the nature now up for consideration.
.Still others are said to favor Mr. San
derson's resignation rfrora both offices
of city clerk and city treasurer, inas
much as he has been tendered and ac
cepted a more remunerative position
with the Windham Silk company.
Two republican candidates for the
office of city clerk are John B. Edgar
ton and Clarence E. Bowen, both well
known local young men who have
many friends. Mr. Edgarton has been
employed by the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford Railroad company in
this city for a number of years, and
has won promotion by his painstaking
work and strict attention to whatever
duty was assigned to him. Mr. Bow
en was a candidate for the city clerk
ship four years ago, but owing to Mr.
Sanderson's efficiency and extreme
popularity was defeated. Mr. Bowen
is a son of Judge Andrew J. Bowen of
this city and a member of the Are in
surance firm of A. J. Bowen & Son.
A number of democratic candidates
have bobbed up, prominent among
whom are Colonel J. H. Morrison, Cap
ton Eugene Ashton, and Louis J. Klynn.
assistant ticket agent at the Union
station. In the event of Mr. Sander
son's resignation, the majority of the
present board of aldermen being re
publican, a democrat would stand
slight show of winning out.
There are those who say that the
leason for wishing an assistant ap
pointed to Mr. Sanderson is a mere
subterfuge to retain a democratic lien
upon the office, so that that party will
be able to put a strong candidate in the
field at the next city election and re
tain the office that has berVi held by a
representative of that party for more
than a decade.

rWPHTHAS
They've Never Used
The Right Kind
That's why some women
don't like naph'
tha soaps.
The right kind is P. & G.
Naphtha Soap.
It is as much better than
other naphtha soaps as they
are better than ordinary
laundry soaps.
Why is it better? Because
it is made of better materials;
because its washing power is
greater; because, being harder,
it will last longer; because it
weighs more and does more.
Millions of cakes of P.& G.
Naphtha Soap are made every
month. Every single cake
helps to make some woman's
work easier. By using it, she
is able to do as much work in
an hour as her neighbors do,
in two. That is a fact a
fact to which hundreds of
housewives bear willing testi
mony. M

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Deserve the Thanks of the People.
The men who have just handed In to
the general assembly a report on pub
lic service corporations, which makes
a compact volume of 114 pages, have
done hard and faithful work. l ney
deserve the hearty thanks of the peo
ple of the state. We hope their recom
mendations will be as practical in op
eration as they have been laborious In
preparation. Since the judges swept
away the corrupt practices act, on
which much careful work had been
done, and which had supposedly been
scrutinized by skilful and thorough
going lawyers. It is natural to be sus
picious of the stabi ltv of legislation or
a complex kind, when the men best inr
formed nnd upon whom we are depen
dent for the form it takes are unable
to foresee the effect of their work, or
are willing to pass laws that don't
man anything in the test. Waterbury

A Business Farewell.
Instead of making his last word one
of general character, Governor Wood
ruff made it wholly specific, it tiaj
not a preachment or. state government,
or on tho relations between the execu
tive and legislative -branches, or on
general r-olicies in which he was Inter.
estcd. but on a concrete case or taxa
tion, promising increased income to the
state. Thus Governor oodruir con
firmed his reputation as a business
man in the governor's chair. Water

Hill or Brandegee.
A new theory of the duty and func
tions of a United States senator Is now
beinsr urged in Connecticut. The
chief, if not the sole, test of eligiblHt
for this office. ve are now told, In the
cacaeitv of the incumbent to play
servile part in tke government, to be.
not a representative of the state, but
of anfther entity, unknown to tne c in
stitution of the United States, called
"the administration.
This novel doctrlnp. which would be
more shocking If it were less ridicu
lous, would have caused the republi
cans of Connecticut to be besought
when Joseph R. Hawley was first a
candidate for the senate, to. give mm
the office because of his devotion to the
administration of President Grant. But
was that argument then used'.' .Was it
because of their willingness to take
their orders from tha White House as
to what they should do In the senate
chamber that Orville II. Piatt, who
became a sonator in the time of Hayes,
was continued in his office through the
terms of Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland,
Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt, anl
that General Hawley was kept there
as his colleague from 1881 until 105?
Was it the prevailing Impression of
the republican voters of Connecticut
that to mention only one Instance
Sentlor Piatt took Instructions from
William McKinley, or did William Mc
Kinley follow the suggestions and the
advice of Mr. Piatt? Of which of the
presidents named was Hawley the
humele and obedient sen-ant?
We are toUl the next senator from
Connecticut must be an echo of Mr.
Taft and au unquestioning supporter
of all his policies. This Is a reversal
of all the old and accepted notions of
party representation and relationship.
Ccnnecticut senators hips to he th.? ap
panage of the White House mT2
hand stamps to register and confirm
in the senate chamber the president's
wi'i. or the will that animates him?

Glorious Unanimity.
The blameless Penrose was renomi
nated gloriously, some of the members
being compelled to vote for him by
audible and repeated orders of his
manager. In Pennsylvania. thank
