This, the Courant adds, "seems inevitable." gar "the census of 1910 will show still arrester discrepancies than appeared in 300, and those were enormous." Tn Chat year the population of the dis tricts was: First, (Hartford and Tol fand Counties-), 220,003; SeoOnd, (New nftfED U1U AlUU 1 C3 CA7 ..I . 1 1111.1. (New London and "Windham) 129,619; 'STourth (Fairfield and Litchfield), 247, 875. The average was 227,000. As one county, New Haven, exceeds that-average by 42,000, it would appear that it should be a district by itself and that Middlesex should be placed with some of the smaller counties. Zf placed with New London and Wind ham, the Third district would still be below the average of 1900 with a total Of hut 170,000. The next largest district is the SrYrarth, and the third in size is the First. With New Haven county con 11 tu ting a district, and Middlesex In the Third, the average of three districts, under the census 1900, would be 213,000. The popula- of Hartford county is 195,480; that Of Fairfield county, 184,203. But the census of 1910 will undoubtedly make material changes, and it is quite prob able that Fairfield county which has been steadily growing in population, will show a total entitling it to be set off as a Congressional district by itself. This will depend largely upon wheth "af or not it can be classed as assured ly Republican, and whether the other four districts can be so constructed as to' give Republican pluralities. For it la a certainty that this object will be kept steadily In view. ege of paying more for the necessaries of life may be called a benefit. Silence, instead of noise, is the watchword in the Administration's pol icy of "trust-busting," says an official of the department of Justice. This is surely a wide departure from the Roosevelt practice. "Trumbull," in the N. T. Herald, ex presses the belief that if the Bulkeley succession were left to the people, "Mr. McLean would be the popular choice", but his danger is in having remained "too long out of the public sight and hearing," for the public's memory isn't worth a button." The Farmer is in clined to believe that a popular vote would elect Hill instead of McLean, if the former could be induced to run against the latter.' Rumors connecting Magnate Harri man with the New Haven road are again in circulation. The latest inti mates that Harriman who is already interested in the N. T. Central, has an understanding, or more, with the Penn sylvania road, and that the two, being largely interested in the New Haven road, will combine to name the lat ter's next president. It Is known that the present relations between the New Haven and Pennsylvania roads are close, and there is a report that Har riman's object is to effect a junction in or near the N. T. shopping district. That there is something big "in the air," is almost a certainty, provided the anti-trust law can be successfully evaded. Log-rolling by state delegations Is the prospect In House action up- the tariff bill. Carried into full ef- it would kill revision downward.

Doubtless the most interesting event for a great many people in town are fond of out of door sports, is the fact that to-day the law is oft for trout fishing, and a number of gentlemen and ladies propose to try their luck to-morrow in the brooks up back of Greenfield Hill and around Kaston. There has been a good demand for fishing rods and bait at the local stores. Some of our best and well known lovers of angling, who are whipping the streams to-day are Dr. Hetzel of Southport, Selectman Chas. Fox, Mr. Samuel Wheeler. Mr. A. Hol land Forbes, Mr. Theodore Sturges, Mr. Nate Wheeler, who comes home from school in Pottsville, Pa., with a number of school mates; Mr. Bedford who comes up from New York, Mise Theodora Wheeler and her guests from Vassar college, and probably a good many more. There has been talk in town among the lovers of trout fish ing, of forming a pool for the purpose of more fully stocking some of the nearby streams with flngerlings when the season closes. Mrs. James Farley still remains in New York, and her house on Main St., remains closed except when of a Sat urday night young Mr. Farley comes up to town and entertains some of his gentlemen friends over Sunday. Dr. Cremon has been in town recent ly looking for a house in which to spend the suqimcr. Jt is remarked in town that a number of very desirable residences on Main street are in the market, if any one. has the price. Among these are the so-called Clucas house, the Brewer residence, the Wal lace house and the G. W. Smith res idence. Because Mr. Brewer has re cently had his house reshingled and otherwise put in order, some of the townspeople have been joking about the place, to the effect that President Taft has been thinking of occupying it. If the President would only come to Fairfield, a gentleman said yester day it would boom the town and he would have to put two more clerks in his store. Like the King of England the American President is a valuable asset. Just now the old town is rath er sleepy and a little booming would be appreciated. There are two entertainments on the program for this evening the con cert by the young people at Hope Chapel, and the lecture on how to save the shade trees at the library by a pro fessor from New Haven. Mrs. Henry Mills and her son, Mr. John Mills, are back in town from a prolonged visit to Atlantic City. A company of five gentlerrien arriv ed In town yesterday and went to the beach where they intend to spend some five days at the Belson cottage. Ground has been broken on center street for a new house, on a lot for merly owned by Miss Anna B. Jen nings. A lot of iron rencing nas arrivea in town which is being taken to the es tate of Mr, O. G. Jennings. There appears to be a feeling in town that fences are necessary to keep out un desirable light fingered gentry. Miss Mary B. Kippen was one of our local residents who went to New Ha ven on Tuesday to enjoy the sym phony concert at Woolsey Hall. A man from Orange, New Jersey, was in town yesterday, looking for a place to open a fruit store. He wish es to make a change from his present location on account of his health. He is already in the fruit business. If all the fears expressed by com mercial travelers and drummers come true, there i to be a decided advance in chocolates, in camphor and in nitric acid, on account of the revision of the tariff. At all events this is what they say when they solicit orders for the sale of these articles. Mrs. Arthur Bulkley of Greenfield Hill recently gave a dinner party to a few friends and relatives. The guests included Mrs. F. Tripp, Mrs. Henry Whittaker, Mrs. Samuel Bulk ley, Mrs. Thomas Bradley and Mrs. Lewis J. Olds of Brooklyn, N; T. Mr. Henry Bailey is in town for a few days. Mr. A C. Wyrtzen and his brother from Bridgeport, spent Sunday with Mr. Charles Nichols, on Greenfield Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Warner have re turned to Bridgeport until the weath er moderates. It is reported that Mr. Morris Beers, who went to Florida, is very ill in a hospital at St. Augustine. Mrs. Jacobs is visiting her mother, Mrs. E B. Burr. Mr. and Mrs. William Burr have giv en a very entertaining musicale to a few friends, including Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Sherwood. Mrs. Howard Gregory, Mrs. Stoddard Goodsell of Bridgeport. Mr. Straut of Norwalk, Samuel Wilson and Eugene and Joseph Burr. Rev. E. F. Lounsbury is at the Meth odist conference in Stamford.

Pink ham's Vegetable Compound Baltimore, Md. "For four years my life was a misery to me. I suffered from irregulari ties, terrible drag ging1 sensations, extreme nervous ness, and that all gone feeling in my stomach. I had given up hope of ever being well when I began to take Lydia E.

The average grocer does not know the good arti cle, but he must buy and he must sell what he buys. The expert that knows how to select good tea and coffee is the only man that has the good kind to sell. He is also wise enough not to sell oil, soap or any other article to destroy the flavor of the tea and coffee he sells. To understand the Van Dyk success, we must explain that Mr. Van Dyk first became an expert in selecting the best tea and the best coffee. That's why we have the quality. Then he progress ed from retailer to jobber, and from jobber to import er, so that now no middleman's profit stands between YOU and HIM. That's why we can and do sell the Best Tea and Coffee at prices about one-half the usual retail price. The advantage is yours. JAMES VAN DYK CO. 1135 MAIN ST., COR.
