Starting in business difficult Ppropositions according to W. Mott. Gibney. Katherine Mino Great Conspira & Lincoln, For is E. a e from | A month ago, Mr. Mott and Charles Palombo of Kensington entered into an agreement to conduct a restaurant in Kensington. A piece of land was rented from J. C. Lincoln on which to erect a building, but the Meriden Brewing Co. claimed its lease held for the entire property and forbade Mr. Mott to put up his restaurant. Mott solved this difficulty = by purchasing the property and the building is now completed. It was also planned to have tables and Wednesday, the new restaurateur journeyed to New Britain and purchased two oak tabMs from a New Britain man. When the tables were delivered yesterday, Mr. Mott discovered that maple tables had been substituted for the oak. Right away he went hot foot to New Britain and inquired the reason for the substitu- tion. The other laughed and agter the local man threatened to call in the “strong arm of the law” to settle the dispute, he returned the money, which had been paid. Mr. Mott spent today in obtaining other tables and expects to hove his place open for business tomorrow, if nothing unforeseen hap- pens ad interim. To Discuss Lighting. Residents and property owners in Kensington are requested to attend a public meeting in Parish hall Mon- day for the purpose of taking up the matter of street lighting. The con- tract of the American Paper Goods Co. with the lighting company expires next October and it is hoped to make plans for the continuance of the street lights and to provide ways and means for the payment.

Blakelock Case Causc of Movement by Artists. New York, April 14.—The Authors’ League of America has begun a move- ment to arouse the interest of organ- izations of artists a law ziving artists a life equity their paintings. The idea was suggested because of the experience of Ralph A. Blakelock, one of whose paintings recently was sold to the Toledo, Ohio Museum for $20,000. Blakelock sold it twenty years ago for For sixteen yea he has been an inmate of sanitariums and asylums. A similar movement in was started in France but was dis- continued when the war began.

Freeman Taken to Hartford Hospital for Operation ENTERTAIN SLIGHT HOPES Prominent Citizen Cheerfully Faces prdeal—An-angos Settlement of His Affairs—Matters in Probate Court— Town Meeting Tonight—Bricfs. i Ready to undergd an operation for | the removal of his leg, amputation baving been declared by physicians to be the one chance of saving his life, Edward A. Freeman, one of the town’s leading citizens, was taken to the Hartford hospital this morning. Dr. J. N. Bull, who has attended him {since he was stricken with embolism Sunday night, accompanied him on the. trip. The doctors had done. everything -possible to cure him without resorting to. surgery, but his case failed to re- spond to treatment and last evening it was decided to amputdte the limb. Efforts to restore eirculation failed completely, and since Tuesday the | lower pagt of'file leg showed signs of putrifying and to avoid gangrene the doctors agreed that the patient | must go under the knife. | Mr. Fyeeman has ‘ghown consider- able forfitude during his illness. His generdl condition had been satisfac- tory afld he has been bearing up weli under ;fhe strain. He accepted. the decision for amputation without com- plaint and was satisfied to have the operation performed. Yesterday he finished getting jhis business affairs in shape and prepafed for a distribution of his estate in thé event of unsatisfactory results from the operation. He had a talk with Judge George R. Byington about estateg, in probate with which he is connected, #nd looked after his ow will. Mr Freeman is nearly seventy-five vears old and, on account of his ad- vanced age, his chances of recovery are considered slim. Nevertheless the doctors believe he may go through the ordeal, as his general condition is all right, although they admit unsatisfac- tory developments following the op- eration are not unlikely. Mr. Freeman is a veteran of the Civil war and one of Plainville’s most prominent citizens. His case is at- tracting considerable attention in town and his many friends still cling to the hope that he may recover. His wife is in poor health, but is report- ed to be bearing up well. In Probate Court. { Acting on permission of Probate Judge Byington,”the administrator on the estate of Charlotte Scott today sold the house and lot on Canal street, owned by the deceased wom- {an, to Frederick Gilette. He will make his home on the place. An order has been issued authoriz- ing the sale of the interest of the latc Frank D. Barnes in Bristol property. Mr Barnes died a number of 3 ago, but his estate was never probat- ed The sale of the property in which he was a part owner was arranged for, a few weeks ago and his relatives se- cured permission from the local pro- bate court to make the transfer. Town Meeting Tonight. Little if any opposition is expected to develop at tonight's special town meeting, to the suggestion of the Bus- iness and Improvement association | and others that the Plainville Young Men'’s club, now in process of forma- tion, be given the privilege of using the Town hall for a gymnasium and a place of meeting for social purposes on two or three nights a week. The plan appears to have the endorsement { of the townspeople in general. The | hall is in use but seldom, and as it could be utilized for the benefit of the bovs of the town, taxpavers declare they are in accord with the move- ment. Leaders of the proposed organiza- tion state they are willing to p: rental or bear the expense of and heat while the hall is in With some of the voters, however, the opinion prevails that the club should | be given free use of the place, the cost of light and fuel being the town's contribution to the club. | Arrangements have been made to | gl-.avc a class from the Y.

They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.

Mr. Tread- - has not expressed himself on the matter, but his supporters are anx- jous to have him enter the race. While the Bristol man is exceeding- Iy popular, his candidacy throughout the district is not expected to create favorable sentiment as it is generally eblieved that he has had _ honor enough from the G.
