Although - weather - conditions were L most unfavorable, the attendance wus | V€ry gratifying. “A comedy in two acts, “Day ind Night,” which was played in an ar- tistic manner by the amateur thespi- ‘ans, was well recelved by the local Grangers. The plot was very ‘simpla in itself. The action takes place in New York city and the time is the L present. Miss Dorothy Brice, a weal- thy young lady having several unique ideas concerning the subject of board- * houses, endeavors to conduct ona much to the dismay of - her aunt. e excrutiatingly funny situations occur when she receives too many boarders into her house and cannot lind sufficient ' accomodations Zor them. Among her boarders is an ac- tress. A In the midst of 'her troubles mat- s are made worse when Miss Brica recelves a telegram from her aunt that she is to be her guest for a fow days. The aunt arrives and in a man- | fler anything but complimentary ‘o the mistress she criticizes the way in which the house is being conducted. Things come to a climax that same pvening when the aunt wakes in her slegp and perceives the actress walk- Ing about the house with a large knife in her hand. Thinking that there is to be a murder she dashes from t:e | house, clad only in her night-robe, and arouses the neighborhood. Ex- citement prevails. After things be- come quiet again it is learned that the actress was just rehearsing her for a play when the aunt saw tier with the knife. | The next day the .much petted niece decides -that conducting a " AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU CAN DEPEND ON % CEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF US, PROMPTLY RE- +... Miss Cora Darling Dissci, a teacher - svseseecs.... Miss Irene Saunders Juliette, an actress .. H B Miss Ruth Back Mammy Sue, a colored cook, who Is ran authority on fried chicken.. Mrs. Elliot The meeting was opened by the audience singing a song from ‘‘The Grange Melodies.” Raymond Tucker rendered a vocal selection and Miss Ruth Backus gave several piano solos. Both wera heartily applauded for their efforts. The evening’s program was closed by all joining in the song “Sewing the Seed” taken from “The Grange Mel- odies.” ¥ The next meeting of the local Grangers will be held on Tuesday eve- ning, August 17. ‘The committee 1n charge of that night’s program pects to produce a surprise by se- curing a suffragette to address the members. Hearing Tomorrow Morning. A hearing will be held in the town court tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock before Judge George G. Griswold concerning the destruction of the confiscated liquor seized at Daniel Flannery's hotel on July 29 by the state police. Flannery was subse- quently fined $100 and costs, totaling $120.52. The case was conducted by the prosecuting agent of Hartford county, James W. Knox, of Hartford. Twelve bottles of beer, a pint bot- tle of whiskey and a flask of gin were taken in the raid. . It is probable that the owner will not claim the ‘“booze” tomorrow and that State Policeman Robert W. Bridgeman, who conducted the raid, will be ordered by the court to destroy the liquor. Open Trolley C?rs Today. day for some unknown reason the of- ficials of the Connecticut company ran open trolley cars on the Berlin- New Britain line much to the incon- venience of the passengers. Hot criticism and indignation were pressed against the company by all who had occasion to use the cars. During the early part .of the week, when the weather was extremely sultry, the company persisted' in op- erating closed cars. The line is heav- Consideration should be shown 4V the company. Culver’s Monthly Report. The monthly report, as completed by Richard Culver, baggage agent at the Berlin depot shows that he has been an extremely busy man during te month of July. 177 pieces of baggage were handled by him which is 1,060 pieces more than during July of last year. The report as completed by Cuiver follows: Number of pieces of baggage for- warded, 172; July, 1914, 210; pieces of baggage received, 111; July, 1914, 177; pieces of baggage transferred, 5,073; July, 1914, 4,756; mail pouch- . boarding house, after all, is a difficult task and leaves with her aunt “or home. mail sacks received, 5,856; July, 1914, 5,833.

The younger element of the town is ex- pectantly awaiting the event and will attend in masquerade. Suitable priz- es will be given. Farmers Are Worrled. These are the days of concern for the farmer. A prominent local far- mer discussing the rainy weather to- day is the -authority for the state- ment that his potato crops would rot if it did not stop raining. Although is the opinion of many that it has not rained enough to rot the vegetables } there is no question that material | damage has been done. Berlin Briefs. Mr. and Mrs. Crandall of Pittsfleld, Mass., are the guests of their son, Arthur Crandall. Mrs. J. Walmsley and son, Harold, of East Berlin are visiting relatives in Providence and New Bedford.- Miss Mary White and niece, Miss | Margaret . McGee of New York, are the guests of .the Misses Kate and Jennie Gilligan of Kensington. A meeting of the selectmen was held today. The regular. business to, come before them\wu transacted. The Knights of Pythias of East Berlin held their regular meeting last evening. Considerable business was transacted after which refresh- ments were served. J.-L. Hubbard of East Berlin has left for 'a two weeks’ visit .to the shore. John C. Wilson of Saybrook, who has been visiting relatives in East Berlin, returned home yesterday. As far as is known none of the members. of the Wigwam club, who are camping at the reservoir this week, have quit. Although the wea- ther has spoiled their outing, so far, and .many of them have received a good- drenching, all plan 'té stick it | out. Mr. and Mrs, Frank Fransen of Beckley, have not as yet received i any clue to their son, Lawrence, who has been missing from his home since July 19, There will be no mid-week service at the Berlin Congregational church tomarrow evening. This plan will i be followed during the month of Au- gust until September 2, when a pre- . paratory service will be held. BARS EXPORT OF BRITISH COAL. London, Aug. 4.—British coal can- not- be shipped anywhere after Aug- | ust 30 except to British possessions and = protectorates according to an order in': council issued yesterday. The export of coal heretofore has | been restricted to the British posses- sjonh and to countries which are allies of Great Britain. The new ruling eliminates all the allfes. Helping Hand society is disposing of Plainville News o e e A 'NEED NEW HIGHWAY AT WESTWOOD PARK 'R.F. D. Service May Be Discon- tinued Unless Road Is Built ' WANT SPECIAL TOWN MERTING Young Couple Estranged After Few Weeks of Wedded Bliss—Day Loses Auto Operator’s License—Arrange for Business Men's Outing—Briefs, Unless residents of Westwood Park are able to persuade the voters to authorize additional highway im. provements’ in that section, they may | again be deprived of rural free de- livery service, inaugurated Monday as the results of ‘the efforts of Postmas- ter P. J, Prior. The condition of one of the roads in the section is such that it is doubtful if the postal de- partment will authorize the service unless thiere is an improvement within & reasonable period. Postmaster Prior has notified the department at Washington that the service has been extended in gccord- ance with instructions received a week ago. Rural Carrier Morey is now making daily trips to serve the pen- ple living near Electric Field, and boxes are being installed along the road recently constructed by the se- lectmen. While the delivery by the carrier is admittedly more satisfactory than making personal ocalls to the postof- fice for mail, Westwood Park, resi- dents are not enthusiastic over the change, as they had expected tha: better service would be given when the route was extended. The highway built by the town fol- | lows tracks of the Connecticut com- i pany, and there are but few houses near it. The majority of the build- ings are situated in the center of the district, and a poor passway is the only means of access the occupants have to their homes. This is not re- garded as suited for vehicular traf- fic and consequently the rural carrier will cover only the boxes located alongside the main road. As a result most of the patrons will have a con- siderable distance to walk if they ac- cept the service and install their mail boxes in the proper positions. It is understood that they are now considering the plan of sending a pe- tition to the selectmen calling for a special town meeting to empower the board to improve the other passway. Authority to construct the highway now in use was given several months ago only after the voters in the dis- trict turned out enmasse and made a strong plea to their fellow towns- men for support. The expenditure of any additional money in highway im- provements in that section would probably be opposed at this time and the outlook for any changes that would further deplete the town treas- ury is not very hright. The extension of the route to in- clude Westwood park will not result in any increase in the carrier’'s salary as the distance covered by him is not increased sufficiently to warrant a raise in pay. However, it is likely that in the near future there will be @ further extension in the south- eastern part of the town, and his com- pensation will then be greater. Wed Three Months—Estranged. Mrg. Harry Donahue has engaged Judge Willlam J. Malone of Bristol to represent her in her efforts to force her husband to contribute to- wards her support. The young lady, who, before her marriage three months ago, was Miss Veronica Lyons is ‘at present living with her father in Farmington but she explained io the~ selectman today that her reia- tives insist on her getting support elsewhere. After their wedding the couple went to Forestville to make their home but they became estranged a . few weeks later and separated. Don- ahue now living with his sisters on Plerce street and it is said that he has offered to support his wife, pro- viding she will live with him. She insists on having a home of her own and it s sald that if the selectmen refuse to help her she will appeal to & grand juror for'a warant for her husband’s arrest. Pay Loses License, Willlam J. “Eph” Day falled to put y\n ‘an appearance at the secretary ot state’s office yesterday afternoon, the time set for a hearing regarding the suspension of his license as an auto- mobile driver.

Will Sell Franchise. Mrs. Katherine Cameron, widow of George M. Cameron, who died a few days ago, has decided against emula- ting the example of Mrs. Britton, who took up the management of the §t, Louis team after her husbana’s death, and she will sell the franchise in the Fastern association, which for years was owned hy Mr. Cémeron. While an enthusiastic devotee of the sport, Mrs. Cameron does not feel capable of handling -thé business end of a baseball team ‘and it is expected {hat the executors vr ner husband’s estate will attempt to dispose of the franchise. The affairs of the Eastern Asocia- tion are in such shape at the present time that the-value of its franchises | ig.hard to determine and it 18 probable | that Mrs, Cameron will have to hold it at least until next spring. The New Haven franchise a few years ago was worth several thousand dollars. i The baseball park is also a part of Mr. | Cameron’s estate and this too may be sold or used for other purpuses. Ten Days of Year Left. With but ten days of the fiscal year remaining, the selectmen are prepar- ing to close the various rown accounts | ar a preliminary to the issuance of the annual Teports. This year the books have been kegt in such shape that a day or two after the close of the year it is believed they can be -urned over to the auditors for inspection. The reports are expected to show a better financial condition than the an- | nual statements have given in a long time. The selectmen have been most conomical in handling tne pusiness of the town and in practically all de- partments the indications are that there will be a substantial decrease in expenses.

Edgar D. Sheppard, sub-deacon of the Chapel Royal. Tho bride was given away by her father, and her brother, Frank Page, wus Mr, Loring’s best man, Wedding Very Simple. The wedding was very simple, he- cause the ambassador’s family desired to avoid anything resembling a soc¢ial function while the war is in progress. The floral decorations were beaut.ful but not profuse, Members of the gov- ernment, representatives of the royal court and diplomats present wore morning dress, The invitations vir- tually were limited to persons in of- fleial life and intimate friends of the family, the guests numbering hard'y more than one hundred all told. A the ambassadors to Great Britain were present with their wives, and the British government was repre- sented by Premier and Mrs, Asquilh and Sir Bdward Grey, secretary lor foreign affairs. The military ond naval attaches of the United States embassy acted as 'ushers.

IT WOULD COME HIGH. Office of City Chemist Would Mean Big Initial Expense. City Engineer Hall, Superinterdent of Health Reeks and Chairman Ross- berg of the water department appear- ed -before the council committee on ordinances last evening and express- ed their views regarding the advis- ability of creating the office of city chemist. At present Milton W, Daven- port does the work for city depart- ; ments but he does not devote all nis time to the office. All appeared to be in favor of the creation of an office at $1,600 per year. The only-drawback would be | the expense in purchasing laboratory | equipment, which is exceedingly cost- | ly.
