Johimson of Cheshire Re- formatory Splendid Speaker MISS BASSETT IS RE-ELECTED b Planning For Peath Claims Oscar Hultgren—Sons Religious Lectures— B Veterans to Plain For Memorial Pay—Case of Scarlet Fever. Theé finest banquet in the history of the organization is the opinion held by the members of the Men’s Lyceum of Kensington in reference to last night's affair at the Kensington Con- gregational church. The feature of the } evening was an address on “Delinquen- cy” by Superintendent Charles H. Johnson of the Cheshire reformatory. Mr, Johnson was accompanied by his wife and they came by automobile but owing to a misdirection took the wrong road at Meriden and in conse- quence ing. Mr. well as interesting speaker were somewhat late in arriv- Johnson proved a witty as and he made humorous reference to his mis- hap in choosing the wrong road. Speaking of the reformatory at Cheshire in reference to ‘‘Delinquen- cy”, Mr. Johnson told of the work be- ing accomplished there. But the greatest problem is prevention rather than cure and he argued that in com- munities like Kensington a strong ef- fort should be made to help young men and when it seen that they are aking fhe wrong path something ould be done at once to place them on the right road. At eshire the problem is to achieve what society iled to ac- complish and it a big tas! The ma- Jority of the youmg men who go to the reformatory lack trainin Few indeed who have peen trained in some 1seful irade or occupation are sent to the reformatory. And o one of the problems of the officials is to train these erring voung men. Besides han- dicraft, educational classes are con- ducted. As a result the great majority leave the institution improved in body and mind. Of course some fail to profit by the training and falling into evil ways again are sent to pris- on. These cxceptions cause unthink- ing people to condemn the reforma- tory and declare it to fail or its pur- pose. But the fact is, said John- on in conclusion, that fully eighty per cent. of the graduates of the re- Yormatory make good and prove them- elves deserving of the <ociety places in them Thomas Emerson > a ralk atriotism” and pr his subject well in on emph d the need itriotism into the youth of the coun- He 1 led his emoti hen a< o =chool boy ted patriotic pieces as Ride.” He on own he reci “Paul ns ch Revere's has greater need of patriotism today than ever before and closed by ex- pressing the hope that the new pa- triotism would lead to peace among the nations Joseph Wilson conducted his audi- tors on an imaginary tour of Kens- ington. He led them through the lanes and by-ways and pointed out places of historic and religious inter- est, such as the Kensington Congre- gational church, the Soldier's monu- ment, Percival glen, the old bridge and some of the historic residences. Mr. Wilson made a continual hit with his witty remarks. His reference to the dismantled stone crusher near the school, which he said was an object 1 on to the children in the art of crushing stone without power, caused much lzughter. The dinner was. served by a corps of young ladies from the church under the direction of the members of the Ladies’ Sewing society and they gave excellent service. Including the guests nearly seventy were present at the banquet and they pronounced it bet- ter than the best they had ever em- joyed. The decorations consisted of white lilacs and dogwood blossoms. The musical part of the program was provided by John Thompson and Miss Helen Cowles, who sang solos. Dr. R. M. Griswold was toastmaster and he handled the postprandial ceremonies in a masterly style. Miss Bassett Again Principal. Miss Adele Bassett was agaln chosen principal of the Kensington Grammar school at a special meeting of the town school board held last evening at the town hall. With one or two exceptions all the vacancies have been filled and the list of teach- ers engaged for the coming year will shortly be announced. Plan Members of the Kensington Con- gregational and Methodist churches willgmeet at the Congregational par- sonage this evening to perfect plans for the course of religious lectures in which both churches will unite. Dr. Richard L. Swain of Bridgeport, who is blazing a new path in the lec- ture fleld, will deliver the six lec- tures beginning next Sunday at the Congregational church. theme will be “The Honest Atheist.” Under this topic he will strive to answer the questions “Why does God Hide Himself forever and keep tha world in doubt as to His Existence' and “If There is a God Can He Not TLet Us Know It and Would He Do So.” = Foilowir the will answer questions as they may arise. Sunday evening he will preach at the Methodist church, his subject being “How Science Saved Religion.” There will be four lectures next week, Monday and Tuesday evening at the Methodist church and Wednes- day and Thursday at the Congrega- tional church. Death of Ken Daniel Oscaar Fultgren. for over 25 years a resident of Kensington died at his home last night after a long illness with a complication of dis- cases. Mr. Hultgren was a painter and for 20 years was emploved by The John Boyle Co., in New Britain.

A. TINKER, OLD HOTEL KEEPER, DEAD Another Plainville Nonogenarian | Answers Grim Reaper’s Call LIVED HERE OVER 50 YEARS | Bought Eagle Hotel Over Half a Cen- tury Ago—Served As Selectman— Funeral to Be Held Tomorrow Af- tex‘ioon—fiirnbaum to Build. rancista e prominent in the business and civic life of Plain- ville for over half a gentury, died at his home on East Main street late yesterday afternoon after a protracted illn He was gne of the town's oldest residents and had he lived um- til October would have been ninety- one years of age. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 Services ton, rector of the Church of Our Sa- vior, officiating. Interment will be in West cemetery. Mr. Tinker had been suffering for a long time for aiiments incident to old age. During the past two years he had grown very feeble and nearly three months ago his illness advanced | | to such a stage that he became con- | fined to his bed. Since that time he had been sinking gradually and for severa! days his death was expected. Mr. Tinker had lived here for more than fifty years and during that time was identified with civic enter- prises and the town government in | several capacities. He served on the board of selectmen, was superinten- dent of the cemetery for over fifteen vears, and was otherwise active in town affairs. He was a native of Granville, Mass., where he was born October 10, 1825. | His father, Lee Tinker, died when he was but six yvears old. During his carly manhood he made his living by | selling horsewhips and cigars, driving a team containing his wares through various parts of New York state. He subsequently went into the hotel | business in his native town, coming to Plainville when he purchased the Tagle hotel on FKast Main street. The | place is now known as the Colonial Inn. Mr. Tinker ran the hostelry until | about ten years ago when he retired from business. He was well known in his day by the travelling men of | the countryy and was held in high esteem by those who enjoved his hos- | pitality. | In 1859 he was married in West Hartland to his wife, Mary W. Smith, who survives him. Three children were born of their union, but one of them, Mrs. Mary L. Shaurman of Springfield, surviving him. A homeloving man, and very at- | tentive to business, Mr. Tinker was never anxious to mix up in politics, but he gave up his time to serving his town, and his duties formed efficiently and conscientious He was an ardent democrat and was ever loyal to his party. During his arly life he was a member of Masonic orders and for a number of years was also affiliated with the Grange. Birnbaum to Build. I. J. Birnbaum has purchased from the administrator, M. O. Ryyder, three acres of land on New Britain avenue, owned by the estate of Levin Harris, Mr. Birnbaum believes that Plainville 1s soon to experience a material growth and he made the purchase on speculation. He plans to have the house in which the eccentric negro lived re- modelled and he is also making prep- arations for the erection of two new two-tenement dwellings. The property is located close to the new plant of the Rockwell-Drake company, and Mr. Birnbaum expects that tenements in that section of the town will prove 2 good paying invest- ment. School Exhibit June 1. Principal O. L. Judd is making plans for the annual exhibition of drawings and other work done by the in the local school which is to given in the school buildings next Thursday, from 7 to 10 o’clock and Friday from 2 to 6 o’clock. Parents and friends of the children are in- vited to inspect the work. Members of Newton Manross post, G. A. R., will visit the schools tomor- row afternoon. Patriotic Instructor William H. Relyea of New Britain will deliver an address before the seventh and eighth grades. There will also be remarks by other veterans Séys Pile Remedy Worth $100.00 a Box I have had itching piles ever since my earliest recollection. I am 63 years old and have suffered terribly.

Take Action Next Week, Definite action concerning the salaries of the teachers will prob- ably be taken at the June meeting of the school board to be held next Wednesday night. The committee is scheduled to assemble on that date and the matter of engaging the staff for next year will then be seitled. Members of the board admit that contracts in which higher salaries were stipulated have been forwarded to some of the teachers but they are reticent about giving any information concerning them. The teachers some time ago petitioned for a general in- crease in pay. The outcome of the difficulty is e pected to be that most of the teach- ers will remain, getting more pay for their services, while vacanctes will probably be created in cases where the board declines to give the compensa- tion demanded. Wed In Bristol, Williams FFuchs of East street. and | Miss Ruth Hoerle of Bristol, were | united in marriage yesterday after- noon at the home of the bride’s par- ents. After the ceremony a recep- tion,was given to the immediate rela- tives of the young couple. The couple will spend their honey- moon in New York and vicinity and on their return will reside in Bristol. Big Demand For Tenements. The demand for tenements con- tinues to Plainville without a let-up and instead of an improvement, the indications are that the conditions will be even worse in a short time, the opening of the Rockwell-Drake com- pany's employes have already made a canvass of the town for the purpose of moving their families here but a dearth of empty tenements, suited to | their requirements, seemingly will | necessitate their commuting for sev- eral months anyway. People working in Bristol. have also been attempting to get rents here but for the most part they have been un- | successful. A number of property owners have considered the erection of.buildings, but the high price of material and the arcity of labor has had a ten- dency to discourage them and the building boom anticipated during the winter is not now expected to be realized.
