The program was whalesome humor. A pantomime, ‘“Wanted a Wife,” brought out some funny situations. The plot was very simple. A 'bach- elor being a very lonesome individual suddenly became afflicted matrimo- nially. His acquaintance with tne fair sex being very limited, the bach- elor placed an: advertisement in a paper “Wanted a Wife.” Wishing to have his prospective better half out of the ordinary, the bachelor prepared to put all the ap- plicants through a careful = test ta learn whether they were efficient in culinary arts, The bachelor socn found that it pays to advertise and was familiarly known ‘to the old soldiers at one time during the war, Mr. Sage had some thrilling exper-_ fences during the war. He was at one time captured near Savage's sta- tion, Va., but managed to escape. After faithfully serving his coun- try Mr. Sage was mustered out of ser- vice on Sept.,, ‘25, 1865. He then learned the trade of a monumental worker, at which occupation he had worked at ever since. He followed his trade in New _Britain, Middle- .town and Berlin. For the past seven years Mr, Sage was employed by W. J. Luby of Meriden and also. by Mr. Luby’s father Since he became a resident of Mer- iden Mr. Sage had been an enthu- siastic member of the local G. A. R. ‘from then on a busy man examining the applicants. Although many an- swered his “ad” the bachelor was a hard man to please. 'A heavily velled woman applies. She proved to. be just the woman that he was loo}dng for. . The play was brought to a Sud- den climax when the woman unveiled and it was discovered that she was colored. . Joseph L. Wilson portrayed the part of the grouchy old bachelor in an excellent manner while Ray- mond Watkins, who took the part of the colored waman, was also' worthy of mention: “The applicants were Miss Amy Dudley, Miss Irene Viets and Miss Minnie Gibbs. The audience was treated to more laughs in a sketch ‘‘Galling Up Mies Smith.” Those who taok part were Dr. M. BE. Griswold, Miss Minnle Gibbs, Raymond Watkins, William Norton and Merwin Vile. A young man, the character of which was taken by Dr. Griswold, met an attrac- tive young lady, Miss Smith, at a dance. Wishing to converse with her later the young man called up sev- eral numbers and inquired for Miss Smith.

Elaborate preparations are °being made by the grange for the next meet- ing which will be held on July 6. This will be!\“Patriotic Night.” ' The fol- lowing committee has charge of the arrangements: Frank Clark, Orville Ventres, Mrs. Garnar Goodwin, Julius Bdna Norton and Mrs. Edward Mich- aels. Theodore A, Sage. Theodore A. Sage, formerly of this place, dled at his home, 150 Hanover street, Meriden, at 6 o’clock yester- day afternoon at the age of sixty- nine yedrs. Mr. Sage was well known in Berlin, where he made- his home for many years and where he was ai- filiated with the local Grand Army post. ’ Mr. Sage was born in New Britain in 1846, When the civil war was de- clared Mr. Sage then but seventeen years_of age, cnlisted to fight for his country. He enrolled on March 13, 1863. He became a member of Com- pany G, First Connecticut volunteers, /heavy artillery. Mr. Sage made an enviable record for himself during the war and was promoted twice, from a private to a corporal and in November, 1864, to quartermaster sergeant. Mr. Sage fought in —~many noted battles and campaigns, the most im- portant being the defense of Wish- ington "siége of Yorktown, battle of Melvern Hills, cap*ure of Fredericks- burg, siege of Petcrsburg. He was one of the first to fire the old Peters- burg express, the old cannon which is now exhibited at the Capitol grounds in Hartford, and which was The company with which Mr. Sage fought in the war is holding its re- union today.

The regular meeting of the Sons of Veterans was held last evening at the home of W. W. Fagan, Kensington. After the business sesslon a musical | program was enjoyed. Although the Sons of Veterans say they Wwere not in the least superstitious, yet when they sat down at the table for lunch one visitor was mustered In so that the number thirteen would 'not be present. Enjoys Eight-ninth Birthday. Mrs. Betsy Gould, who resides with Mrs, Fannie Elton of Berlin, cele- Woodruff, Miss Hortense Loiselle, Miss| prated the eighty-ninth anniversary of her birth yesterday. Although al- most a nonegenarian, Mrs. Gould is active and in good health. A number of her friends called upon her yes- terday to offer their congratulations. Mrs., Gould is an expert in needle and embroidery work. Her articles are exhibited annually at the Berin fair and attract consicerable atten- tion. Mrs. Gould has never partici- pated in an automobile tide. She very seldom goes on a trolley ride. Mrs. Gould was born in Gardner, Mass., on June 15, 1826, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Jacob Priest. At an early age she removed to New York and was later marriea to Dr. Austin Gould. Dr. Gould passed away about fifteen years ago in Fitchburg, Mass., after which 'Mrs. Gould came to make her home with Mrs. Elton. She had 'wo children, both of whom have d. % Berlin Briefs. A purse of fifty dollars in gold was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Jason J.

Although treated very courteously | and given every opportunity to explain | their protest Assessors F. T. Wheeler | and L. B. Tucker and First Selectman Johnscn were given but little encour- agement by the state board of equali- zation before which they appeared late yesterday afternoon to request the rescinding of the vate by which the towns grand ‘list is “'boosted” $150,000. The local officials were hot under the collar because of the action of the board and they voiced their indigna- tion when they were given an oppor- tunity to talk. The commissioners gave their attention to them, but gave no intimation as to whether they had been impressed with the justice of the visitors’ claims. Comptroller M. C. Webster, who was among those present, told Chairman Wheeler that the increase was made in cases where towns having a grand list of less than $2,500,000 receive state aid for schools and highways. Representatives of many other places were before the board to protest| against raises in the grand lists of their own towns. The Plainville men were among the last to be heard and but a short time was allowed for an explanation = of their protests. 'Chairman Wheeler said the assessors thought they had done an exceptionally good job this year. They had increased the grand list' by nearly $250,000 and had made, raises in practically every case possi- ble. He thought it was an injustice to give the town another ‘boost.” Members of the board were inclined to compliment the assessors on their report but they did not. show a dis- position to let it stand without change. Farmal comsideration of the protests will be made within the next few days and it may be a week before action is taken. Judgipg from past per. formances of the state ;board, the prospects of relief for the town are not very bright. It will ‘occasion no surprise’ here if the boarq insists on Settling Sewer Bills. Charles H. Calor, treasuyrer of the sewer district committee, is winding up the financial affairs of the district PNPLES B O DSFGURNG Came on Face. Then on Arms, ltched So Would Scratch, Used " Cuticura Soap and Ointment, In Three Weeks Healed. 68 Poplar St., Boston, Mass.—"My trouble began with pimples spreading on my arms. They were very reddish and they itched so that I began to scratch them and that caused eruption. They first came on my face and they were so red and disfigur- ing and my face itched so at night that I would scratch them until they became bleeding. I would get to bed about nine o'clock and fall asleep about twelve. “I used remedies and creanis but in the morning they would be worse. After about five or six weeks I saw the Cuticura adver- tisement in the paper. I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment three weeks and I was completely héaled. The trouble was gone.” (Signed) 1.

Arrangements have been made tQ have the event made interesting and it is expected that there will be a large attendance, Other churches in town have re- celved invitations to attend the re- ception. The committee in charge expects representatives of other de- nominations to join in giving a cordial welcome to the new minister. There will be a program of enter- tainment and refreshments will be srved. : May Improve Interior. Painters who have been at work on the exterior of the Town hall for sev- eral days expect to finish their la- bors by tomorrow and unless the se- lectmen order additional improve- ments they will consider their con- tract complete. The work has been done under the direction of John 8. Larson, to whom the contract was awarded several weeks ago. The appearance of the building has been greatly improved. The painting and decorating of the interior of the bullding, an improve- ment greatly desired, is being consid- ered by the selectmen and they will probably make an appropriation for it. They also plan to have a metal ceiling to substitute for the plaster in the upper hall of the building. Contracts for this work have not as yet been let. Trolleymen Hold “Runs.” Conductor James Prior and Motor- and by the end of the month it is thought the much argued question as to the advisability of building a sewer here will be shelved for an indefinite period. At the last annual meeting of the district the voters named a commit- tee ostensibly to pay the bills, the opponents of the sewer plan, whd seemed to be in the majority, express- ing the opinion that the distrigt shauld go out of existence. Had it not been for the fact that the law required a set of officials, at least un- til the district was free from debt, it is doubtful whether any committee would have been named this year. At the close of its investigation of the sewer propect the district was nearly $2,000 in debt. A special tax was levied and as a large part of this has already been collected the payment of the bills is in order., Chairman F. T. Wheeler and Treas- urer Calor have been making arrange. ments to clean up the adcounts. Af- ter they attend to the financial mat- gters it is probable that for some time at least they will make no move tow~ ards getting the sewer question again before the public. Prepare for Graduation. Principal Orrin L. Judd is busy making preparations for the exer- cises to be held in the Town hall on Friday, June 25th, in connection with the graduation of the pupils of the ninth grade in the Grammar school. Thirty-five "children are to receive diplomas this year and interesting ex- ercises areplanned by the principal.

Motorman Hynds and MacLeod and Conductors Downs and King have al- 80 elected t6 remain on the Plainville division. Autoists Are Wary. Officer Philip Marino's campaign against autoists who fail to live up to the laws is already showing re-| sults. Motorists are now exercising a great deal of care and during the past two nights the policeman failed to discover a single violation of the statutes. ; The activities of the local authori- ties in this direction have been given wide ' publicity and as a result the operators of out-of-town carg are wary when they approach Plaifiville cen- ter. Regulation of the “jitneys” which are parked in the center while wait- ing for passengers, is now desired and the selectmen will investigate to see whether it is poseible for them to place any restrictions on the cars.
