Elton, in Sta- ples, Minnesota on the tvjenty-sixth ofdast month. Mr. Thorpe was born in Southington, but resided here for about fifteen years, prior to moving to Minnesota eight years ago. Mr. Thorpe was more commonly known ‘as “Old daddy,” to many of the towns- people and was a familiar sight on the street. Death was due to asthma 'with which he had been afflicted for , with the past five years. Mr. Thorpe was 89 years old at the time of his death. He is sur-: ‘vyived by three children, fourteen grandchildren and fourteen great- | grandchildren. His children are Mrs. W. S. Elton and Walter Thorpe of Staples, and Mrs. F. L. Elion of Ber- ln - Mrs. Harriet Viets. The funeral of #rs. Harriet Viets, wife of Wilbur C. Viets, was held at her home in Kensington this morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Carleton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Congrega- tional church, officiating. After the gervices here the body was taken to 3 anby, where Rev., Mr. Makepeace _gonducted funeral services at the . Congregational church of that town @t 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Burial was in the Congregational cemetery there. Mrs. Viets is survived by her husband and one daughter, Miss Irene. | Mrs. Hattio Hazard, a life long friend of Mrs. Viets, has written the Saturday afternoon'and if the volume of noise, which emanated from the building showed their satisfaction, they had ‘“some time.” The day was spent in dancing and athletic events. The potato race for the boys was a thrilling affair, James Garrity, being the winner by inch over Robert Fagan. In the “whale's eye’ game for girls Rose Kiniry finished first and Stella Kasiska was second. The feature of the day was a dash for boys three vears and under. It was won by James Sullivan. Prizes were awarded to all the winners. The Altar society has charge of to- night’s program and it has arranged a musical entertainment by the chil- dren which will no doubt be very pleasing. Tomorrow night St. Paul's T. A. B. society will present a musical pro- gram of exceptional merit. from New Britain and Meriden will appear and an excellent entertain- ment is assured. They will be ac- companied by a large crowd of friends from their own cities and the capacity of the hall will be taxed. The program follows: Selections .. “es Solo .. . o olaitprystoie Adward J. N.

A certain Kensington women was following out this edict Satur- day, making some delicious apple jelly and, thereby hangs a tale. Of course she had no use for the cores, 80 what more natural than to throw them out in the yard? She dtd. Soon there was a great commotion there and rushing to the window she saw all of her geese and ganders rolling about terra firma and emitting blood curdling yells. You have seen Al Leech put on his “drunk” sketch in vaudeville, but never even in his palmiest days did he perform as did those bipeds. They staggered, rolled, danced on then dropped as if lifeless. The housewife was in a quandry. The most efficient way of sobering an intoxicated man is by the ‘‘water cure” so she decided to try it on the ducks. She picked them up one by one and held their heads in a pail following lines concerning her: A Farewell, Farewell dear mother, ‘We shall miss you evermore, Our home is filled with sadness, Our hearts are lone and sore, Thou art gone indeed and left us, But not in dark despair, For we hope one day td‘ymeet thee With our blessed loved ones there.” ” St. Paul's Fair. Saturday night was the second night of St. Paul's fair and another large _crowd was present, filling the hall to It's capacity. Everyone had a pleas- ant time, if the expressions on their faces is to be taken as a criterion. . The booths 'were well patronized and ‘nearly all participated in the dancing. Thie entertainment was 1ijnder the auspices of the Ladies Sodality and ‘it fevoked much applause. It* con- d of a musical program by the g young ladies of the pari$h and it . pared favorably with most pro- nal actsof a like calibre. kiddies” had their 'innings 9 of aqua pura. They gasped and struggled but soon quited down, They were placed on the ground and in a short time were able to take their daily swim. Needless to say the woman will never again throw her cores where the ducks can get them. Kensington Wins, The Kensington football team start- ed it's season with a victory over a fast Hardware City team yesterday afternoon on the railroad field. The game was close and exciting and the ball was continually in midfield ex- cept for a few minutes in the second period when the home boys sudeed- ed in pushing across their opponents goal line, making six points. The teams were evenly matched and the game was well played. Butler Roche refereed in an efficient manner. Berlin Congregational Church.

H. T. Walsh—Fun- cral of J. Elihu Yale—Foresters To Play “45"”—Assembly Officers Here, ‘ Advocating an evening school that will be practically self supportigs, | Rev. H. T. Walsh in his annual re- port as acting school visitor, sug- gests that the pupils make voluntary contributions to cover the expense of tuition, the town providing the school room, heat, light and janitor service. i Father Walsh believes that the night school experiment as made last year | was sufficiently successful to warrant a continuation of the movement this yvear with the pupils paying part of the expense. The message was forwarded to First Selectman Johnson early in September but owing to a misunder- standing on the part of that official it was not made public until today. The statement should have been printed in the annual town report, following a precedent established more than quarter of a century ago but the selectman didr< understand that it was intended for the public owing to the fact that it was addressed to the school committee in conform- ance with a custom with which he seemingly was not acquainted. Since the report was submitted the matter of continuing the evening school has been favorably acted on, the voters having appropriated $175 to cover the expense of forty-eight sesslons. In congection with the discussion incident to the passing of the resolution covering the appropria- tion, one of the members of the school committee explained to the meeting that a number of the prospective pu- pils had expressed a willingness to pay part of the cost of their instrue- tion. He believed that contributions will be made by the classes towards the expense and the cost to the town will be very small. In the acting school visitor's report there are many practical suggestions. Father Walsh also calls attenti§ to the high standard maintained in the local schools, The report follows: ‘“Members of the Plainville Board: “In June of the current year we completed, in my opinion, one of the most successful years in the history of our Graded School, and T believe that the progress of our p'ils dur- ing the year and their standing at the end of the year will amply prove the correctness of the above state- ment; this commendable condition was due not alone to the diligence of the children, and much appreciative credit is cheerfully given to the efficiency of our teachers and the stimulating and encouraging influences which they exercised over the pupils in their re- spective departments. ‘““The personnel of our teachers for the coming term, will be much changed from that of last year, as we have been obliged to secure five new incumbents for as many departments in our school. These changes are due in one instance to a resignation ‘re- ceived, and in another to ill health; in two instances we were obliged to allow two most excellent teachers to leave us for the reason that their qualifications made it possible for them to obtain positions elsewhere, at School salaries considerably over and above the compensation they were receiving from us; these instances are only two of many other similar cases wherein we were obliged to part with super- excellent teachers, who naturally were attracted by the higher saleries that had been offered to them by others; in the fifth case a new tecacher was needed for a practically new grade, which is now taught in the depart- ment originally intended for kinder- garten work. “We have not as yet had an oppor- tunity to observe the work and methods of our new instructresses, but we hope for their success, as of course the character of their work will regu- late the length of their engagement. “Our Plainville school stands hig! in comparisons with others through= out the state of Connecticut., not only in those many features which provide for the accommodation and comfort of the children, but also in its relation to those facilities and opportunities which make for the intellectual ad- vancement of those in attendance, “This fact is admitted by the com- petent Tepresentatives ,of the state board of education, and the conscious- ness of such conditions obtaining fis very gratifying to us. “I think it somewhat unfortunate however, that the vast majority of our townspeople must simply take my word or that of some other individual, regarding the indisputable truth of the above declarations. In my opinion, it is very little to the credit of Plain- ville people that they do not in much | larger numbers, realize and recognize from actual observation and visitation to the school, the splendid work our | institution is doing for their chil- dven; the record of the visitors to the school, if taken as an infallible indi- cation of the interest of parents in the school, would discredit very appre- ciably some of the fathers and thers under our supervision, and I wish to say unreservedly that visita- ticns to our school by the parents of the scholars would give much en- couragement both to teachers and Pupils, as well as much enlighten- BEST FOR LIVER, BOWELS, STOMACH, HEADACHE, COLDS They liven the liver and bowels and straighten you right up. be bilious, constipated, with breath bad and stomach sour. Don’t sick, Tonight sure! Take Cascarets and enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced. Wake up with your head clear, stom- ach sweet, breath right and feeling fine. Get rid of sick headache, bilious- ness, constipation, furred tongue, sour stomach, bad colds. Clear your skin, brighten your eyes, quicken your step and feel like doing a full day’'s work. Cascarets are better than salts, pills or calomel because they don’t shock the liver or gripe the bowels or cause inconvenience all the next day. Mothers should give cross, sick, bilious, feverish children a whole Cascaret anytime as they can not in- jure the thirty feet of tender bowels. | —— e e ment and pleasure to the parents themselves. The continuance of our night school which was inaugurated last winter, is a matter that will be presented for our consideration at the next town meeting. The success of the experiment made, has been sub- stantial enough I think to Jjustify a repetition of efforts in that line, for another trial-year, at least. 1 am iree to say however, that I believe the movement in a large measure should be self-supporting: presupposing that the town would furnish the school room, the heat, the light and the janitor, I am frank enough to main- tain the salaries of the teachers, the books, pamphlets, etc., should be met by the voluntary offerings of those ho are so signally benefitted by these night school sessions “In conclusion I may say that pres- cnt conditions and prospects all point to another very successful year for our school. “HENRY T. WALSH, “Acting School Visitor.” Funeral of J. E, Yale. There was a large attendance at the funeral of James Elihu Yale, held vesterday afternoon at 2:30 fram his home on East Main steeet. Mr. Yale was a prominent member of Fred- erick lodge, A. F. & A. M., having served as wogshipful mr, 'r and the masons were well repr ) nt« / at the obsequies.

Edward Willlams, a well known colored resident, narrowly escaped be- ing seriously injured last evening when the carriage in which he was riding was run down by an automo- bile on Whiting street. Willlams was thrown out of the vehicle but except for a few bruises was unhurt. His horse was badly injured, how- ever, and the carriage was damaged considerably. The autoist didn’'t stop to learn what damage had been caused. Instead he increased the speed of his machine and was soon lost in the darkness. The officials here telephoned to Southington in an effort to head him off but he made a successful getaway, Quiet Saturday Night. Although there was no disturbances around the center and calmness pre- vailed during the entire evening.
