No, not the kind which causes the reader to gasp as he pictures himself beating carpets and O!hex‘v duties in connection with the spring “sport.” This is real house- cleaning, past cases of which have proven that furniture, carpets, etc., are carried out and never returned. Town authorities have just been notified of a robbery such as has not been perpetrated in these parts for many.years. Last Saturday, David Stack and family of Elmwood, began moving articles of household furniture into the Splettstoezer place on Christian lane which is now owned by the city of Néw Britain. After locking up the house, Mr. Stack returned late Saturday night to Elmwood and" did not return until Monday. To his, great surprise, he found as he entered the house, that almost everything which had been brought there two days previous, was missing, among which were two costly carpets, two rugs, several pieces of valuable silverware, a new mattress and two bedsteads. A tool chest had also been tampered with and a few = hammers and other articles stolen. Deputy Sheriff James Clark is at work on the case but as the thieves left no clues it is not probable that they will be apprehended. Union Fast DayeMeeting. -Quite a few attended a union fast Twentieth Its superior ! represented at ! performing | day service held at the Kensington Congregational - church this morning by the congregations of that and the Methodist church. Rev. Edwin M. Picknp, pastor of the Methodist church delivered an interesting ser- | mon on Hebrews, 12:2, “Who, for the ijoy that was set before him, endured the cross.” Service in Berlin Tonight. “The Cross in Our Own Experience’ is the subject upon which Rev. Sam- | uel A. Fiske will preach at the Berlin i Congregational church this evening. He spoke last evening on the theme, “The Passion of Our Lord.” Mrs. Schirm will sing this evening. The choir of the Kensington Con- gregational church is to sing the Easter cantata, ‘“The Crucified,” by George B. Nevin, on Sunday evening at 7 o’clock. The music is very beau- tiful, with fine dramatic effects and has a quartet of women's voices, male chorus, women’s chorus and { solos ‘for baritore, alto and soprano, besides the mixed chorus work. The music in the Kensington church has always been a gift ot love, on the part of organist and singers, and the choir has been most fortunate in having friends who help in these special services. | The alto soloist on Sunddy even- {ing is Miss Kathryn Stillman Bunce jof New Britain, whose rich, sympa- | thetic voice is admirably suited to |her work, one of the finest passages of the entire cantata. Oscar Ben- |son of East Berlin is to sing the | baritone solo, and those who have |heard him will look forward with | pleasure to another opportunity. | Other solo parts will be tiken by Kensington singers and there will be piano and organ music at the open- ing of the service. Luncheon Saturday. The officers of the Woman’s For- eign Mission Auxiliary will give a luncheon to ‘the members at 1 o'clock on Saturday. This will give an opportunity for discussion of some plans for advance work, and it is hoped that there will be a large | attendance. Brief Mention. Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Plainville News" WANT LONERGAN FOR - BANQUET SPEAKER Business Men Hope to Have Con- gressman as Their Guest. DATE CHANGED TO APRL 30 Ex-President Taft Gives Tentative Promise to Come Here Next Year— | Post Office Inspector in Town— Decrease in Schocl Attendance, Thursday, April 30, has been se- lected by the committee of arrange- ments as the date for the annual ban- quet of the Business and Improve- ment association. Chairman 8. S. Gwillim announced this morning that | while it was originally intended to have the spread on April 23, it was found necessary to put it off for a week on account of changes in the pians made necessary While the committee was appoint- ed some time ago, it deferred setting the date for the banquet for sev- eral weeks, as it was hoped that ex- President W. H. Taft could be per- suaded to be the guest of honor. President. Gwillim and other mem- bers had called on Mr. Taft at his quarters in New Haven-and he made every effort to arrange to get here. He found . it impossible, however, but tentatively promised to attend the as- sociation’s banquet in 1915. Efforts are now being made to get Congressman Lonergan for the prin- cipa] speaker. He has not as’yet been able to glve a definite answer to the committee’s invitation, but the members hope he will find it pos- sible to come here for that evening. Another speaker for whom the com- mittee is angling is Rev. Sherrod Soule, of Hartford. Mr. Soule is recognized as one of the best after- dinner speakers in the state and -he would strengthen the program fha- terially. He has promised to come here if possible. An invitation has also been extended to W. C. Norris, of Willimantic, one of the state busi- ness men’s ‘“boosters.”” Mr., Norris has given addresses at several busi- ness men’s banquets and he is re-| garded as a capable speaker. Chairman Gwillim expects to be able to make an announcement of the program some time next week. The sub-committees are working hard on the arrangements and the indications are that the banquet this year will be bigger than ,any of its predecessors.” Tickets will be ready for distribution in a few days and it it expected that there will be a big demand for them. Firemen Get Auto. The automobile, for which the Hose company recently made a con- tract with the Pope Manufacturing company of Hartford, was delivered here yesterday afternoon and the firemen are now making arrange- ments to have it converted into a combination hose and chemical truck. The machine was complete- ly overhauled before it was delivered and heavier springs were installed to strengthen it. The car is now capable of making forty miles an hour, which Fire Chiet Norton belleves is ample in a town of the size of Plainville, A new truck body is to be made and when it is set'in position chemi- cal tanks will be installed, The out- fit will then be turned over to the town. The firemen have already raised more than $600 to pay for the new equipment @nd the additional $200 will probably be collected ' before summer. A play will be presented in the town hall on April 23 for the benefit of the fund and Chief Nor- ton expects that a sizeable sum, will be realized from the sale of tickets. “Babe” Lewis Is Making Good.

Hart stated | today that witnesses declarel the auto ran into the wagon and that Al- derman was in no sense responsible for the collision. The officer expects that Gabin will pay for the damage.
