Lyceum at Meeting in Owing to a misunderstanding on the part of a school girl, several pu- pils of the Kensington Grammar school were given a holiday today even though it was not the desire of the school authorities.

Thinking that today’s storm might Possibly cause the cessation of ses- sions, Father J. C. Brennan engaged a little girl to.carry the church key to Janitor McKeon of the Kensington Grammar school, who rings the bell. The pastor explained to the-little girl that he was sending the key only to provide for an emergency, but she either misunderstood him -or saw a chance to serve her schoolmates, for #he told the janitor to “ring out the “Joyous news.” The bell was rung and, immediate- Iy, children on their way to recita- tions, turned and tripped lightly home- ward, their little minds over with good things to say about the authorities.

Fred Johnson of the Men’s Lyceum is sending out notices for the meeting which 1s to be hels next Monday evening, April 20, in the Kensington Congregational church. At this time, Henry N. Lee, business manager for this paper, will deliver a lecture on the subject, “Mexico.” Mr. Lee resided in that country for a period of several years. He is thor- oughly familiar with what govern- ment there is, with the dress, religion and induystries, and will undoubtedly have some interesting comments tn make on the present situation. Senator Claude Stevens is arrang- ing to have some posters printed for the adyertising of the meeting. The brifaming | He was, | to at public is cordially invited - tend. It is expected that the present cri- sis in relations between the United States and Mexico will serve as an incentive for a record breaking at- tendance at the lecture. Some plans are under way for a musical intro- duction to precede the feature of the evening. Michael Rector Doing Well. t The many friends of Michael Rec- tor will be pleased to learn of the ra- pidity with which he is recovering from the shock he received February 25 when one of his feet was ampu- tated at the New Britain general hos- pital as a result of its being crushed under the wheels of a trolley car on the Berlin-Middletown branch of the | railroad. His attendants state that his wounds are nearly healed now. | Dr. Fromen of New Britain, who | is attending the nineteen-year-old young man, is encountering some dif- ficulty in the treatment of a fracture | which Rector sustained between -the | knee and hip of the leg from which his foot was amputated. The serious- ness of his condition when first brought to the hospital - warranted | only temporary treatment to this in- jury and no extensions could be used- to hold the limb in its proper posi- tion. Now that the chief injury has been cared for, the doctor has turned his attention to the fracture. The bone is mending perfectly at present and before long, the unfortunate young man will be able to leave the insti- tution. H His nurses say that he still main- tains the cheerful disposition that he has exhibited all during his stay at the \hospital. His mother visits him almost daily and she too has be- gun to view the matter in a more optimistic light. Has_Ptomaine Poisonjng- As a result of having eaten canned salmon on Tuesday, Mr. Backman of Kensington is confined to his home with a serious attack of ptomaine poisoning. Mr. Backman told Dr. Matthew H. ! Griswold, who was summoned early vesterday morning, that he ate some salmon sandwiches for lunch on the day previous. A short time later, he became ijll and at about 1 a. m. he showed distinct symptoms. of ptomaine poisoning. | Dr. Griswold says that his patient ' will not be in a condition to leave his home, for several days. George Cole Explains. Editor Herald:—In your paper of ! Tuesday, April 14, there appeared, under head of Berlin news, an article ‘in reference to the decision of Judge Griswold, in the case of the Dickin- son Drug company vs. George Cole. By those who read the article and were unfamiliar with the circum- stances in the case, it would be in- . ferred that I deliberately purchased {drugs of the Dickinson Drug company i and refused to pay for them. The. facts in the case are these: During the early part of the winter, one of - the members of my family was taken sick. Dr. Hodgson was called and diagnosed the case as diphtheria and advised that anti- toxin be used in the treatment, also that the youngest members of the family be given the same treatment in order to prevent the spread of the disease. I consented to the use of anti-toxin and instructed Dr. Hodg- son to procure it. Instead of pro- *c’urlng it from the health officer gs { he should have done, according to law, he purchased it from the Dickin- son Drug company and had it charged to my account. Upon receipt of a | informing them that I had not { matic club are very enthusiastic over | han, |'well adapted to their roles. | the affair will net a neat sum for the | Woodwork on the new factories to be | has returned from New Hampshire. bill from the Dickinson Drug com- | pany for the anti-toxin, I wrote them in- structed Dr. Hodgson to purchase the drug from them; that he made a mis- take in not procuring it from the ealth officer, and that I would not be responsible for his mistake. As a result the Dickinson Drug com- pany ‘brought legal proceedings and obtained judgment, from which I have taken an appeal. Hoping this article will receive as conspicuous a place in your -paper as the article o which it 1is an explanation. George Cole, East Berlin, Conn. Rehearsing For Play.

Louie Fioro and Arturo Moroni of Kensington have received settlement from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for injuries sus- tained in the dinky accident at Clay- ton’s crossing last Saturday afternoon. The former accepted twenty-five dol- lars as compensation for a bruised knee and the latter asked forty dol- lars for slight injuries on his body and damage doné to a valuable watch which he carried in his pocket. Auto Stalled All Night. A large five-ton auto truck belong- !ing to the Waites company of New York becante stalled without gasoline at Woodruff’s store late last night. The driver slept in the car over night and proceeded on his way early this morning after procuring a liberal supply of gasoline. Brief Mention.

Foiren, Berlin, Plainville News FREIGHT “HOPPERS” ARE LOCKED IN CA Train Crew Torns Cambridge Young Men Over fo Polics. CLA'M THEY BROKE CAR SEALS Be Only Charge Trespassing May Pressed Against Them—Will Sell Paper Box Plant—Wants Addl- tional Compensation. Caught by railroad men in a freight car, the seal of which it is alleged they released, John Gunning and Frank Seybolt, two Cambridge young men, were turned over to the local police last evening and are now locked up awalting a hearing. The pair will be tried before Justice E. P. Prior, prob- ably this evening, on the charge of trespassing on railroad property, Prosecutor Norton believing that it would be difficult to convict them for the more serious offense of which they were accused. The yvoung men were caught in un- usval fashion, Railroad men saw them climbing into a freight car which was part of a train bound for New Haven. They were discovered while the train was in Farmington and the crew locked them in, turning them over to the police when the train ar- rived in Plainville. Constable Down- ing placed them under arrest on com- plaint of Station Agent C. J. Mulvihill. The prisoners vigorously denied that they broke the seal on the car. They declared that they were anxious to ride to New Haven and seeing the door on the car open they climbed in. Two other men were inside, they stated, when they entered and left be- fore the door was locked. As the car contained nothing but fertilizer and the evidence concerning their break- ing of the seal is' not particularly strong, Prosecutor Norton did not be- lieve they could be convicted of an at- tempt to burglarize and he will prob- ably charge them with trespassing only. The train crews have been greatly annoyed by youngsters who have been making & practice of freight “hop- ping” and the authorities have re- ceived several complaints from the officials of the road. Railroad detec- tives have been detailed to watch out for the troublemakers and several ar- rests are llable to result. ‘Will Sell Plant. N. E. Nystrom of Bristol, who some time ago purchased the property on which the plant of the Plainville Paper Box company was located, has decided against operating the factory himself and has offered it for sale. For several weeks the plant has been under attachments and Monday Sheriff Marsh of New Britain, sold the ma- chinery and other equipment to satisfy a foreclosure judgment rendered in favor of the Trumbull Electric com- pany. The outfit was bought for $600 by John H. Trumbull. , It was reported for some time that Mr. Nystrom contemplated going into the business himself as soon as the at- tachments were released but instead he intends to give some one else an opportunity to succeed the defunct company. The factory, during its existence, supplied the paper boxes used by nearly all the local manufacturers and also had a good business in neighbor- ing places., Local industrial leaders believe there is a good fleld in Plain- ville for such a concern. Taken to Retreat. Papers committing Charles W. Diggle to the Connecticut Hospital for Insane at Norwich were issued yes- terday by Judge .George R. Bying- ton after a hearing held in probate court on the application of the young man's wife. Diggle has shown signs of insan- ity for some time and a few days ago he was removed to a private retreat at Norwich from which he will now be, transferred to the state hospital. Wants Additional Compensation. Pasquale Clambiello is dissatisfied with the amount of damages given him by the Bristol Manufacturing company at whose plant he was in- jured a few weeks ago and Com- missioner Chandler has been appealed to to decide on the merits of his claim. While at work in the factory Ciam- biello had his hand so badly crushed | that part of two of his fingers had to be ambutated. One finger, the second, was taken off at the second joint while only a small part of the first digit had to be removed. Under the compensation act a workman is entitled to half pay only during the period of his disability if only one phalange of the finger, or from the first joint, is lost while if it is taken off at the second joint he is to receive half his weekly wage for an arbitrary period of weeks. In Ciambiello’s case, the inSurance people arranged to pay him for the loss of two phalanges of the second finger, which the law prescribes is half his salary for fifteen weeks. They refused to award him anything for the injury to the first finger. Compensation is allowed for nineteen weeks for the loss of two phalanges of the first finger and Ciambiello claims he should be paid for thirty- four weeks.

As the phy- sician will report that the man lost two phalanges on but one finger, the possibilities are that he will receive benefits for only fifteen weeks. éd the commissioner so decides Ciam- biello declares he will take an appeal to the courts. ‘Woissard Gets Damages. Damages of $300 for the plaintift were awarded yesterday afternoon by a jury in the court of common pleas in the case of Dr. I. J. Wolissard of Bristol, against Leonard Suzio of Meriden. The physician sued for $1,000 for damages which he alleged his auto sustained a year ago when it was in collision with one of Suzio’s machines on the Farmington road in Plainville. Dr. Wolssard claimed that the Suzio car was on the wrong side of the road at the time of the accident Suzio’s counsel raised the contention that the doctor was negligent and that skidding of the latter’s car made the collision inevitable. The de- fendant thought he should be given $300 to pay the expense of repairing his machine. Judge Malone represented the plaintiff and Attorney O’Brien of Mer- iden appeared for Suzio. Local Woman Gets Legacy. Mrs. Bertha Hitchcock Blodgett of this place, will receive a substantial legacy from the estate of her mother, Mrs. Sophile L. Hitchcock which hay been inventoried by transfer state tax appraisers of New York. According to the appraisal, Mrs. Hitchcock’s es- tate was worth $24,533.70. Claims against it amounted to but $848.78. The woman’s will directed that this amount be divided between her two children, Mrs. Blodgett of this place, who is to receive eleven-eighteenths and August Hitchcock, her brother, who resides in Abbott, Me., will get the remainder, Brief Items.

S8impson, infant son of Mr. and Mrs, James Simpson, who dled yesterday was held this afternoon from the home of his parents on Washington street. The services were conducted by Rev. R. H. Burton, rector of the Church of Our Saviour. Interment was in West cem- etery. Rev, Alexander Walters, presiding bishop of the Zion conference, will give a lecture in Grange hall this evening for the benefit of the A. M. E. Zion church.

Fifty-two persons, fifty-one colored and one white, were put to death by mobs in this country in the year that has just passed. This is twelve fewer than the number lynched in 1912. Tt is the smallest number of lynchings in one year since records have been kept. | Not all of these lynchings were merely “a kind of wild justice.” Twen- ty-one of the persons killed were ac- cused only; thére had been no con- viction, no weighing of evidence. Several innocent persons were put to death. In Greenville, Ga., a black man was lynched for a murder. An- other man confessed to the crime a few days later. At Houston, Miss., a negro accused of murder was lynched. It was later discovered that he was the wrong man. Two apparently in- nocent colored persons were put to death at Germantown, Ky. At Spar- tanburg, S. C. the bravery of a sheriff prevented a mob from lynch- ing a colored man accused of rape, who was later acquitted by a white jury. In only ten of last year's lynchings was “the usual crime,” proved or al- leged, the crime which roused the Commissioner Chandler has asked s e e e e Ayer’s Yaic Just a little care and small that’s all.

Dodge of Milwaukee had a pleasant visit here Thursday. When the vice-president learned that Judge Dodge was identified with the Jour- nal, he said, reminiscently: “I ran a newspaper for four weeks. I was 18 years old. It was at Wabash college. I had three fights in that brief editorial experience and was sued for $20,000 for libel. I had three college mates as associates in the en- terprise.” The vice-president paused with a grim smile: “It was the col- lege paper.” “Well, how about the libel suit?” “Well, we won,” said he, “‘but we had a good lawyer, Benjamin Harrison, afterward president of the TUnited States. As soon as we were sued I took the college paper containing the article to Gengral Harrison. He read it and appeared to be greatly amused. I asked him if he thought it was libelous. He looked at me with an amused expression on his face for a moment, and then re- marked: ‘Young man, if I wanted to have a man libeled I would hire you to do the job, feeling assured that it would be a complete one.” “I was scared,” sald the vice-pres- ident, ‘“not because I expected to have te pay $20,000, because I could not have paid a judgment for twenty cents, but General Harrison asked me if I thought we could prove the al- legations. The strange thing about it is we did prove them at trial. Gen- eral Harrison refused to take any fee from us, but I remember that he told us the experience ought to serve us as a lesson. ‘There are a great many things that happen in life and can be proved, but it is just as well not to publish them,’ id General Harrison.” Old-Time Household Glories. (Rochester Democrat-Chronicle.) Christians were butchered to make a Roman holiday, so perhaps there is no occasion to shed tears because an “Exhibition of bad taste” is to be held in New York and the cherished art treasures of a former generation held up to public ridicule. posed of Miss Elsie de Wolfe, Gelett Burgess and Will Irwin will pass upon of household adornment, no matter how heartbreaking.” This means, we assume, that the managers would gladly welcome framed mottoes, scroll-sasw brackets, crocheted slipper holders, antimacassars, and, = most horrible of all, the chromos of shud- dering memory. The artistic crimes of the decades immediately following the Civil war were legion, and it ought not to be difficult to provide an exhibition that would make the chamber of horrors of the old Eden Musee seem like a pleasant place of resort on a rainy afternoon. But while gloating over the bad taste of that period and jeering at the damning evidence heaped up against its perpetrators, the fact should be borne in mind that wax flowers, garish vases and lurid plush frames were all symptoms of a craving for artistic expression. Their very extravagance of form and color led to a reaction that hast- ened the arrival of the present saner era. The severe simplicity of art in our day might not have been accepted with such approbation if it were not for the recollection of past excesses. The art of the '70s was very primi- tive, it was indefensible, it would not be tolerated now, but it was the oute ward expression of an artistic ine stinct, and as soon as it was directed into the proper channels it developed rapidly into forms that we flatter ourselves are worthy of our civiliza- tion. Whatever may be said the artistic sins of our grandparents; they served a purpose. They have been a powerful factor in reconciling us to arts and crafts and mission styles and other things that might, but for the memory of the past, have been rejected as too rigid, exacting and uncomfortable for human use.
