that its growth would depend largely upon the definite principle
of adhering to safe banking methods. That this principle has

Gentlemen who were yesterday in
specting library square, opposite the
drug store, with a view to ascertain
whether it would be a good place for
an airship to land, thought there
must be considerable risk, owing to
the numerous elm trees in the vicin
ity, and the telephone and . trolley
wires which cross the plaza in all
directions. Some disappointment was
manifested when the conclusion was
reached, for Mr. Betts.the well known
grocer, proposed to place the chairs
in his big bay window and rent them
at a good price for those who wished
to see the airship take its chances.
As the library would be closed during
the holiday, persons could not be ad
mitted to that building. A few fcun
dred might be accommodated upon
the terraces'which surround the resi
dence of Dr. Donaldson. But why
speculate? It is not even known if
Payne has accepted John Boyle's of
fer. .
Yesterday Homer Benham, who
broke one of his legs a few days ago,
was able to be on the street with the
aid of crutches. He walked from his
residence to the post office.
There was a report in town yester
day that Thomas Forsythe had gone,
or soon would go, .to St. Augustine,
Florida. Others said he intended to
go to Plainville, N. J., to take a rest.
Henry C. "Sturges and family re
turned to New York on Monday to
be gone a month or more.
Albert Mendlicott has been visiting
in Newark, N.J., for a few days.
Mrs. - E. B. Morehouse 'left town
this morning for a visit to New York.
This being a holiday, quite a few
townspeople have been at the chapel
of the Green's Farms church, at
tending the Farmer's . Institute, and
assisting at the semi-centennial cele
bration of the founding of the Farm
er's club.
Theodore Sturges pf Greenfield Hill,
is entertaining his mother and sister
from New York.
Clarence H. Bradley and wife have
been visiting In-Brooklyn.
James L.. Pratt of Greenfield Hill,
who went to Enterprise, - Florida,
some time ago, writes that he has
bought land and Invested in ' an
orange grove. .
One evening last week Mrs.. Lelia
Joel Hulse made her debut at Car
negie Hall, New, York, with the Rus
sian orchestra. She was very suc
cessful and there was much en
thusiasm. The concert was followed
by a dinner at the Hotel Martinique,
given by her sister, Mrs. E. H. H.
Smith of Stratford. . There were cov
ers for 20 guests which included the
directors and their friends. The fav
ors pointed towards the coming of
Washington's birthday. On the 5th
of March, coming, Mrs. Hulse will
sing at the Hippodrome, and on Mon
day, the 6th ult., will 'Start on her
tour of , the southern and western
states. ' Meanwhile Mr. Hulse will
keep bachelor's t hall at his handsome
place on Edgecomb Terrace.
Mrs. Hezekiah R. Elwood Is slow
ly recovering her health.
A concert on the 17 th of March
is proposed to take place at the par
ish hall of St. Thomas In the rear of
the church. Able talent is to be se
cured and the room is to be re
splendent in green and other appro
priate decorations. '
Last night, at the Grange at Green
field Hill, there were musical selec
tions by the orchestra and addresses
by Commissioner Pease on "A Little
Law in Regard to the Farm," and
one by Andrew B. Wakeman o'n, as
announced ,"Do We Spend Too Much
Time on the Three F's.' Many per
sons were puzzled to know what the
"three F's" stood for, but Mr. Wake
man happily made it plain.

To Put City of Guayaquil In Proper
Sanitary Condition. '
Washington, Feb. 22. The State
Department is now engaged In an In
vestigation of a deal which a French
syndicate proposes to put through in
Ecuador. For the purpose of clean
ing up the , city of Guayaquil, the
bankrupt government of Ecuador now
proposes to borrow several millions
from the French. . This news comes
closely upon the heels of the failure,
through opposition of the people, of
the administration's attempt to nego
tiate the lease of the Galapagos Is
lands to the United States for $15,
000.000. This sum, if the lease was
negotiated, was to be used to put
Guayaquil in sanitary condition, and
incidentally, it was suspected, to, en
rich the administration.
The United States . Is particularly
interested in the sanitatio'n of Guaya
quil, on account of the proximity of
this port to the Panama Canal.
Guayaquil !s the last port of call in
the west coast before reaching the
Pacific terminus of the canal, where
Uncle Sam has spent enormous sums
in bringing about sanitation. With
Guayaquil cleaned up,, and under
sanitary regulations, a great menace
to the Canal Zone would be removed.

The thought has been expressed by
some of our citizens that one of our
representatives at Hartford is working
quietly for the annexat-on of a por
tion of this town to Bridgeport.
. A car full of good folks who do not
favor annexation were on their way
to the city yesterday and got stalled
about 11:30 on Stratford avenue near
Seaview. They remained there nearly
an hour. In the car were David L.
Rhoades, Mrs. Dr. Cogswell, Mrs.
Morehouse, Mrs. Dickinson, Mrs. C. M.
Porter and others. After .all Bridge
port does present some attractions
. ; Misa Laura Wood of Stonington is
the guest of Miss Franc's Russell.
Our Mrs. A. Bedell Benjamin who is
stopping at Palm Beach, Florida, at
tended another swell reception on Sat
urday given in the Cocoanut Grove of
the hotel, by Mrs. Delos O. Wickham.
There was quite a crowd of people i
present from various points of the
Union, but none of them reside in
Stratford save Mrs. Benjamin.
Tonight the burlesque Snorers will
hold the boards at Red Men's hall and
the proceeds will be for the Mascnic
Temple building fund. After the play
thprft Is in Vt flnrif?ner and mnsfn.
There . is again talk of organizing al
boys' club. This scheme has been in
the air for several seasons. The trou-
ble is it takes money to run a club, I
and boys who work for a living have!
little time to pass m such an insti
tution. .
Arthur DeForest Wheeler is on the
sick list. ,
There is a report that the residents
of Academy Hill are seriously opposed
to the annexation. They .do not want
to see a Bridgeport factory next door
belching forth smoke and blowing a
whistld at seven o'clok in the morning.
.Mrs. Roger Morehouse of Stratford
avenue is ill.
The Red Men who went to South
Norwalk last night found plenty of
snow and had a rather cold trip.
The Order of the Eastern Shepherds
will have a meeting this evening. Lat
er. It is thought "some of the Shepherd
esses will attend the d,ance at Red
Men's hall. .
' One doesn't hear much now-a-day
about the "Jolly Farmer" who Is to
exhibit himself at the Town Hall.
During the big snowstorm the fire
alarm bell rang out a notice that there
would be no school.
Harold Lovell has got a telephone.
Dr. Sweet has been called in to . at
tend to the wrist of Miss Mary Fair
child, who sprained it as the result
of a fall. .
More people about town are on the
sick list. The doctors have all they
can do and are reaping a harvest.
The first Sunday in March is to be
rally day at the Methodist church.
Announcement .13 made of the fact
that the last snow storm necessitated
considerable shovelling to keep the
paths open. The fall of snow was-
particularly heavy on , exposed p'aces
on Tea Pot , Lane and nearby streets
owing to their exposed position.
"The Pupil" was the subject of
study last night at the Congregation

Program clocks are to toe installed

Our local Grange will have a fine
program on Saturday night. One of

tress. -; ' ' ' ! i

Chorus Girl in Distress
' Was Really Only Pooling
Middletown, Feb. 22 Officer Chap
man of the local police force was
startled about 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when he heard a series of screams
evidently from some woman who was
In distress. With visions of a murder
flashing through his mind, the officer
started on the trail, and found that
the screams were emanating from a
chorus girl from the "Madam Sherry"
company, who was out on a lark with
a young man -from Portland and a
couple of Wesleyan students. The
young man from Portland did the
vanishing act when he saw the offi
cer. a.nd in his haste to turn the cor
ner at Green street, he fell heavily.
Officer Chapman preached a little
sermon about disturbing the peace,
etc., etc., and ordered them to get to
the hotel and stay there. The stu
dents hired a hack and tried this ruse
to get the girl to take a Joy ride with
them. But the officer was obdurate
and it was no go. The girl didn't
dare venture from the hotel for fear
of arrest and the students had to pay
the hackman for nothing.
Willie Lewis and Sailor
Burke to Meet Once More
"New Haven, i Feb. 22. Willie Lev
is.who left early this afternoon for
New, York, from which place he will
run over to Harrison, N. J., to meet
Shadow Morris, the big colored fight
er, received word just before he start
ed "that Dan McKetrick, his manager,
had signed him up for another fight
with Sailor Burke. The bout will
take place before the Marathon club
in Brooklyn on Wednesday night:
March 8.
Lewis outpointed his old rival not
long ago in New York and then more
recently Burke was dropped for the
count by Kid Henry up In Albany.
Lewis meets Henry Thursday night of
this week at the National.
In view of the fact that the Sailor
was one of the most ardent rooters
for Frank Klauss in his recent fight
in which Willie succumbed which
shows that the old time enmity be-
! tween the two still rages the coming
bout will draw well from here.
