Lewis, collided with the second baseman and fractured his left leg just Agstin_Havey of Southington and Dr. | George N. Dunn of Néw Britain were summoned to attend him. Today, he was resting as comfortably as might be expected. He is a member of the Sophomore -class at the New Britain High school and it is improbable that he will be able to resume his studies The accident occurred about 65:30 o’clock. Young Lewis was engaged in a neighborhood ball game, had suc- ceeded in smashing out a safe hit in ,the last half of the seventh inning, and was within a few feet of the sec- ond bag, when he ran into a play- mate. Other players thought he had simply bruised his leg, but when he could not arise, they knew his in- ries were more serious. He was carried to his home by Rev. Carleton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Con- gregational church; Mr. Saunders and » Thomas Hanford, his chum. The boys in the neighborhood are downcast over the unfortunate acci: dent.

Shaw and his assistant, Miss Olive Shdw, breathed sighs of relief last evening, after having pua! in one of the most strenuous days this year. It was the last day upon which dog owners conld Luve theoir dogs licensed for the ordinary fee, and it seemed that everyone had walited uuntil the alev- enth hour- Little else was done at the oifice during the day than just attend to dog ‘licenses, and the town ‘clcrk now dreams about dogs, talks doys and eats (“hot”) dogs. He es- timates that about 289 licenses were given out during the mnenth of April, slightly ‘less than the number issued | 1ast year. Those who did not attend to the madtter of having their canines tagged : before 5 o'clock vesterday, will now have to part with $2.25 instead of the i regular fee of $1.25, if they want them licensed. ~They are also in constant danger of prosecution.

DEAD IN PEQUABUCK Mrs. N. E Moody, Former Plain- ville Resident, Passes Away. PROM NENT TEMPERANCE ADVOCATE Vuneral Will Be Held Here Monday Afternoon at 2:30—Judge Malone to Lecture Here—Irving B. Williams Is in Waterbury With His Aunt. Mrs. Nancy E. Moody, for years a prominent temperance worker and | vecognized as the mother of the W. C. T. U. of Connecticut, died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fiessie M. Scott of Pequabuck. Mrs. Moody was a nonogenarian and was in her ninety-first year. She was a former well known resident of Plain- ville and had many friends here. Her funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 from the home of her son, Dr. Charles W. Moody of West Main street. Services will be conducted at the house by Rev. Spen- cer E. Evans of Terryville, assisted by Rev. F. L. Grant, pastor of the local Ccngregational church. Interment will_be in West cemetery. Mrs. Moody was a native of North Haven but spent a great part of her early life in this town. She was an exceptionally active church worker and for years was a noted temperance { advocate. She had the distinction of being the first woman to speak from the pulpit of the Center church in Hartford and also one of the first to make an address in the old Davenport church in New Haven. During her career as a temperance worker, Mrs. Moody appeared before the legislature on several occasions in support of measures which had the endorsement of-the W. C, T. U. She was well known and greatly respected by the lawmakers, even those who | disagreed with her, and her opinions were always given attention. She in- variably appeared in the legislative hzalls carrying a Bible and was pre- turesque figure. She was largely re- sponsible for getting a bill passed pro- hibiting the sale of liquor within a half mile of fair grounds. At that time she was serving as state superin- tendent of fair work, Many other temperance laws were passed through her energetic efforts. She had a kindly disposition and all'who came in contact with her ad- mired and respected her. Her great- est ambition she often told her friends, was to live to see the enactment of a national. prohibition law. She firmly believed, that before her career was ended there would be no liquor sold in any part of the country. Infirmities incident to old age made it impossible for her to continue her activities during the past few years and since she broke her hip' four vears ago, she had been able ,to be about but little. Mrs. Moody is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Scott of Pequabuck, with whom she lived for several years. She also leaves two sons, Henry A. Moody of Pequabuck and Dr. C. W, Moody of this place; two grandsons, Dr. Raymond W. Mé&ody, who is located at Middletown, N. Y., and Walter M. Scott, an instructor in Sheffield Scientific school, and one granddaughter, Miss Helen E. Scott of Pequabuck. ‘Williams in Waterbury. Irving B.

How Mothers should know that the safe medicine for their children is Father John’s Medicine because it does not contain alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form. It is best for colds and coughs and to give new strength—it is a pure and wholesome tonic and body builder. Miss Ellen O’Leary, matron of the Children’s Home in Lowell, Mass., says: “I have forty or fifty children here at the Children’s Home con- stantly. When they are weak or run down, I always give them Father John’s Medicine to build them up.’ They gain rapidly under the treat- ment the medicine affords.

He writes that he is now with his aunt in Waterbury and that he proposes to remain in that city.

Some of his clothes are still at the Town home and he has requested his conservator to forward them to him. ‘While Williams is insane, there ap- pears to be no disposition on the part of his conservator or the town officers to disturb him, as long as his relatives are satisfled to take care of | him. .
