Yesterday marked the fifty-sixth ! birthday of William Lyons, the popu- lar Kensington tonsorial expert. Mr. Lyons and his family celebrated the event in a quiet manner at their home on Main street. Mr. Lyons was born in Waterbury, Januar; 1861, his parents being | Mr. and Mrs. George F. Lyons. His father was a well known veterinary surgeon in New RBritain until his death twenty-one years ago. Up to the time that he was twelve vears old Mr. Lyons attended the pub- lic schools in Waterbury, after which the family moved to New Britain and then to Hartford. When he first | went to work he was emploved in i various factories but this form of did not appeal to him and he cs toward the ton- s, serving his appren- A, L.

Rural Carrier’s Birthday. Charles ' W. Williams, the genial rural mall carrier of Kensington is today observing the fifty-sixth anni- versary of his birth. He is a native of Kensington and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Williams, both of whom are dead. Up to his four- teenth year he attended the schools of the town but at that age he en- tered the employ of Roval Upson, who conducted a grocery store on the present site of the American Paper Goods company. His employer was postmaster at this time and thus Mr. Willlams was given his first_instruc- tions in the handling of mai He later entered the employ of the Paper Goods company where he stayed until September 30, 1901. It was during that vear that the postal department decided on a rural route for the Kensington office and Mr. Wil- liams was appointed. He travels ap- proximately twenty-one miles every day and it is estimated that he has traveled nearly 58,000 miles since the time he received his appointment. He is the only rural carrier that has held the position and only once dur- ing his term has he failed to start on his route and that because of a storm. He is allowed fifteen days vacation each vear and this time drags rather slowly on the hands of Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams wedded Miss Flora Pendleton in 1883 and one daughter has blessed the union, Mrs. Hattle M. Campbell of Fort Brags, Caitfornta. as he wended his way along his route today he was the recipient of many congratulations. Briefs. The falr committee of the T. soclety will meet this evening.

Although there was talk & week ago of opposition developing to any effort to complete the resolution | passed at the last town meeting con- cerning the ereclion of a four room addition to the Broad street school house, the opinion prevailed teday special session will take no action that will interfere the making ¢f the much needed Improvement.. It is now confidently expected that it will be voted to authorize the school board to award the contracts and su- pervise the construction of the addi- tion. While the need of more school room is generally recognized, some of the taxpayers do not favor the method adopted by the recent meeting for raising the money required for an ad- dition. The voters at that time laid a special tax of four mills to pro- duce revenue equivalent to about one- half of the $17,000 appropriated for the work, the sense of the meeting seemingly being that a similar tax would be adopted next vear to wipe out the debt. An extra two mill tax each year for a period of four years is favored by some, while others ap- pear to believe that in view of the fact that the building will serve for future generations as well as the present, the debt should be handed down through the creation of a bond issue. The town's financial condition is the principal aigument against this mova, as there is some question as to whe*r.ex the town could sell the bonds at a HARTFORD AGENTS FOR STANDARD PATTERNS Already very many Our exhibit is one that includes the very Stripes.

The call for Wednesday night's meeting is so worded that reconsider- ation on the part of the resolution concerning the special tax would hard- ]y be permissible under a parliamen- tary ruling and a rcfusal to formal- ly authorize any set of town officers to award the contracts apparently would not serve the- purpose of any who might object to the method of raising part of the appropristion as the tax could be collected even though the addition is not constructed in the immediate futare.

Though Dead Was Drunk. John Egan of New Britain is in the lockup awaiting a hearing before Justice A. H. Condell on the charge of intoxication. He was arrested yes- terday afternoon by Constable Philip Marino, who found him lying helpless- ly drunk on West Main street. The officer had seen Bgan earfly in the afternoon staggering about the Cen- ter. The man was attempting to get some children to “take a swig” fromn the bottle he was carrying, but failed in his purpose. Hoping that he would take a car out of town, the officer did not molest him. He next saw the accused stretche:d out on the walk. The man was unable to move a muscle and had to be car- ried to the lockup. He remained un- conscious after he was placed in a cell, and it was thought for a time that he was dead. He came out of his stupor in the evening, however, and an order for & physician, which had been filed, was cancelled. Freight Trucker Nabbed. Frank Brown, employed as a truck- er at the transfer station, was before Justice Condell yvesterday on an in- toxication charge. He was taken into custody Saturd night by Constable Marino. The court imposed na sentence sixty days in jail, but suspeaded judgment on condition that Brown wis of prosecution. Minstrel Big Success.
