The information printed last week. to the effect that there has been much thieving of late in local gardens, and that vegetables and fruits have been stolen in considerable quantities. ‘ahould have been accompanied by a word of warning to the pilferers. it is a fact that private patience has been trail night exhausted in not a few in- stances, and that the people who steal to fill their collars or to provide for their tables are in reality venturing not only on the borders of court pun- Ishmcnt, but are placing their lives in jeepardy. When a man has toiled ear- ly and ~late to make his garden aid . him in caring for hisrfamily. he is 5 prone to pull the trigger first and make Inquiries afterwards. if he finds a thief on his side of the fence.

A very large proportion of what la sent out through the mails as "com- paign literature" is wasted. it either is perused in a perfuntory manner by finds its way to the waste basket. or one prejudiced against it to start with. Some perception of that state 0f affairs has come to prevail among party managers, and has changed the character of a considerable part of "oanlpsign literature," by puttingthe points that are sought to be enforced into pithy literature and then display- ing them in the columns of newspa- firswhere they will be sure of a hear- ing (1 a reading This style of po- ' l effort has become so general , at no party can do entirely without , it. and no newspaper can shut its col- airing to it so long as it is a paid ad~ vertiseinent and announced 9,! such.— Bridegport Standard.

Fully 1 000 persons visited the home yestcr day. These included 700 members of the order. seine from lodges in the most remote parts of the state. The others were made up of Rebekah lodges in all sections of Connecticut and visitors from other states. Many of the visitors to Fairview had never seen the great home of the order on the Groton hills .There were endless 'expf'eaalons of satisfaction with the locality and the institution. Many New York and Boston Odd Fel- lows, who were ln the city spending the holiday, attended the picnic and said the home was unsurpassed. it was the day of days for the aged and infirm Inmates. who are spend- ing their declining years within Fair view's hospitable gates. Younger friends and brothers of their own ages in more favorable circumstances came to call on them. Tile old folk was tagged out early in the day ready for “company." The early trains brought visitors. but the trains coming just before noon from either direction brought big crowds. The chowder dinner was served on time at 1:30 o'clock and was fine. Each visitor had brought luncheon to be eaten with the chew- der and when dinner was over the committee had the satisfaction ol knowing that every person had been waited upon. Each lodge in this vi cinlty sent a deputation to act as waiters assisted by the members of Rebekah lodges in this section. Dish- es were loaned by New London and Groton lodges. One. thing. which marred the pleas. ore of the day. was the absence of the genial president. Leopold dewcuw. of the home corporation. Mr. delseeuw's mother died recently and he was not able to attend. in former years he has been a conspicuous worker both when president of the corporation and before his election to that office and his good natured smile was sorely missed. The board of managers held a meet- ing yesterday afternoon to elect a member to fill a vacancy and at that meeting an expresion of condolence will probably be voted. Late in the afternoon there was a baseball game and tug-of- -war pulls. Among the prominent visitors to the home yesterday were Grand Mas- ter Grant U. Kiersted. of Hartford. Past Grand Masters 8. G.

Owing to the recent rain the services which were to have been held in the gospel tent In West avenue were held at the Knight Street A. M. E. Church. A good sized audience assembled to hear Rev. Mrs. Martha lvins. the not- ed evangelist. of Asbury Park. N. J. Mrs. [vine is a woman of large. noble bearing and her mannerism carries the conviction of great spiritual pow- er. Hcr dramatic appeals and warn- ings did not fail to work the audience up to the white heat of spiritual devo- tion. Rev. Mrs. ivlns spoke on the subject Hindrances to Christian Liv ing. taking for her text "Let‘ us lay aside every weight.” Heb. 12: 1. She said: The Christian life is a race in which great selfdenlal is no cessary. In our day we have examples pf self~restraint. for physical contests ‘the oarsmen and boat crews go rough a long course of training in which theynot only practice with the oar. but by physical diet and exercise bring their bodily condition to the very best. We should strive to bring our- selves into the best poaslble condi- tion to gain the incorruptlble crown. Many are hindered in their course by the lack of self-restraint. The wor- ship of comfhrt. the. love of ease and other indulgences cause their steps to lag in the race. it is of great im- portance to have an eye to these im- pediments. and cast them aside as the Greeks did their weights and flowing garnienta that they might not be en- tangled. The meetings will be held to- night in the gospel tent. Mrs. M‘rs. ' Ivlns will preach, assisted by Mrs. Rosa Taylor. the singing evangelist. The public is cordially invited to at- tend these meetings. MURPHY ooss 'i'o JAIL. Sentenced to Serve Sixty Days. But Wilted an Appeal.

The prob- able selection of presidential electors. of which Connecticut is entitled to seven. seemed to be thrust into the background. With more than 400 dela- gates claimed by the [Alley managers for their candidate for governor, when only 291 is needs for,nomination on the first ballot. r. Lake confidently announced that be had good courage. and expected to win. it would seem that the hard fight between Major John Q. Tilson. of New Haven. and Sen- ator James F. Walsh, of Greenwich, each claiming a majority of the dele- gates, has somewhat clouded the go. bernatorial contest, and this. it is pre- dicted, may somewhat delay, in the convention ltomorrow,‘ths taking of a ballot for governor, or at least is like- ly to force a roll call. instead of the ordinary procedure of having the counties by delegates march down the center aisle and deposit their ballots. if a roll call is decided upon for the gubernatorial nomination, it seems likely that a roll call will he demanded for every other place on the state tick- et. including that of congressman-at- large, but not including the. choice of presidential electors. it is announced that Lieut. Governor Lake will not be a candidate for second place ili case he fails to win over Mr. Lillcy or Governor Woodruff. At the Lilley qu' tore the definite declaration is made at Mr. Lilley ex. poets to win with at least 400 dele- gates. The Hartford delegation, ac- companied by more than a hundred bake supporters from Hartford and Hartford county. enriy made predic- tion that Mr. Lake has a good chance to win the nomination. H_ere in the home of Governor Woodrun there are many who confidently announced that the prospects were good for a rc-nom- lnutlon of the entire ticket which has been in office since January of last yenn New Haven looks to the nomination of Major Tilson for congress, while most of the Uiley men outside of New Haven are favoring Senator Walsh in their conversation. Major Tilson him- self says he finds the so—cslled machine leaders are for the most part ofr Mr. Walsh. but members of the general as. sembly, who make up a considerable part of the convention, are for him- self and on this ground the major is counting on fifty majority Nothing very definite has come out during the morning about the conference in Wind- ham county, yesterday, ln which it was said that a number of the Uiley men were waiverlng in their attitude on the govemorshlp-congressman com bination whatever that it. and all that is known of the conference in Fair- fleid county yesterday was that it had to do with Senator Walsh’s prospects. which have now gone lilto first place among the leaders over that way. The encouraging news is said to have been received confidentially by the Hartford men, appeared to be be- hind the ‘reports that both the Welsh and Tilson forces were approaching the Lake men for assistance. Mr. Lake claims 135 tried and true delegates. while the Woodruff men are banking on 55 delegates. A combination of Woodruff and Lake men to make "deals'" with candidates for secre- tary of state, state controller. state treasurer and congressman-strings would have the object of reducing Mr. Lilley‘sapparent strength. The lake men claim that if Mr. Lilley does not get enough votes on the first ballot he will lose and the convention in that case is likely to re nominate Governor Woodruff and Lieut. Gov. Lake. and with this start it would be hard to stop the re-nominatlon of the whole ticket. and pledges in many instances being nullified on the congressman contest, the result would be one of personal strength. with the locality argument against Major Tilson. Among the Lilley men there seems to be little fabric to the gossip which is prevalent elsewhere and while Mr. Lilleys lieutenants scoif at the talk of combinations and claim an easy vic- .. ,» r v» n; 1' tery. they are not neglecting to can- vass the delegates carefully. Bpecula‘tion aside. the outlook at noon was that Mr. uiley will be nam- ed for first place and Frank B. W eke for lieutenant governor, with ittie ado. Former speaker John H. Ugbt. of south Norwaik, will place Mr. Lil- Iey's name before the convention and the ascending speeches will be by Rev. G. W. Clark. of Brooklyn, and Frank Brown of Norwich. Mr. lake's name will be presented by Judge B. J. (larvae. of Hartford. and will be seconded by a delegate from Fairfield county No announcement is yet made concerning Governor Wood- ruff. but as Col. l. M. Ullman Is ex- pected to present Major Tilson' I name it is likely that another member of the New Haven town delegation will take the platform in the vernors' behalf. So far as the latter' part in the con- vention is concerned there is very lit. tle apparent activity. There is very little open discussion fo the makeup of the state ticket. Most delegates who have thus far arrived seemed to favor the renominatlon of Mr. Bodenweln for secretary of state, and these same delegates offer no as gument against the re-nomlnation of Mr. Bradstreet for comptroller, and Mr. Patten for treasurer. it is agreed that the conferences this evening will decide the ticket. but unless the oth- er candldates for these three offices have strong delegations behind them to enlist further strength. the choice in each case is likely to be dictated by these leaders who will find them- selves ill control of the convention. Senator Charles A. Gates. of Willi. mantle, and Fayette 8. Wright. of Pomfret‘ have been mentioned for con- troller; r. Emmons, of New Milford. for the treasurerahip and Matthew ii. Rogers, of Bridgeport, and Eli Fledhill, of Stonlngton, for Mr. Bodenwein's place. Some hints, but decidedly vague ones. were that the framing up of combination tonight on the con- gresanlnn- at large contest might bring some "dark horses" into the competi~ tion for state ofi‘lces. Mr. Bmdatreet’a friends seemed to be pretty active to- day. Both the Lake and Lilloy Iced- ers profess to be keeping their hands off the state office contests. The convention will be called to 01'- dcr at 8 o'clock tonight by Chairman Kencnly, who will introduce the tem- porary chairman. Senator F. B. Bran- dcgee. After the usual address of the temporary chairman the va ions com- mittees will be appointed an then ad- journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Al‘- ter this adjournment will begin the hard work of men who have the inter- ests of candidates in their hands. Tho committee on resolilions will meet and a platform dealing with both na- tional and state conditions may be ex- pected. The committee on creden. tials for once may be expected to re- port every delegate present. for it is not thought likely that any town will fail to be represented by all the deio- gates it is entitled to. The committee on permanent organisation may bc expected to favor Mr. Brandegeo as permanent chairman. The coming United States Senator- ship and the matter of the speakership in the next house are. not being for- gotten in the political talk among del- egates.
