At the Fair. Saturday night's attendance at the T. A. B. fair in Forester’s hall was even|greater than that of the open- ing night when all attendance rec- ords for previous affairs of this kind were broken. Although there was no entertaininent on the program for the evening the crowd appeared to be iust as well satisfied to whee! about the floor in all the latest dance steps. Both the booths and the young lady canvassers did a record breaking business and if it still continues to- night there will have to be a new stock ordered for the hooths. Tonight John Crean and John Kiley will bring a minstrel troop from New Britain 1o provide the entertainment but the program has been withheld from the public so something new in the min- strel line may be expected. For a “ime Saturday night it looked as if there might be trouble for some of New Britain’s well known “Gas ous gang put in an appearance ready to start something. After a few attempts at their funny work they were given a warning which served to cool them down for the re- nainder of the evening. Church News, Berlin Congregational Church.

For the benefit of New Britain school girls who overwork and get into highly nervous, weak and run- down condition, we publish this letter from Doris Copllier, of Fort Worth, Tex.,—*“I go to the high school and take music lessons, and became run- down, weak and very nervous, so I could not do anything. 1 would shake all over and could have screamed at times, and was really unfit to keep on with my studies. Mother purchased a bottle of Vinol for me and within a week I was bet- ter, and in two weeks I had gained five pounds and felt fine.” D ervmls—Mnde It is the curative, strengthening elements ‘of beef and cod liver pep- tones, aided by the blood<making, revitalizing effect of iron and manga- nese peptonates and glycerophos- phates, ' contained in Vinol, which made it so sucessful in building up health and strength and overcoming the nervous condition of Miss Coplier, and we ask every school girl in New Rritain who is in a like condition to try Vinol, on our guarantee to return their money if it fails to benefit.

INSTITUTE HERE ‘White Ribboners of Hartford County to Gather at Baptist Church Friday —Business Men Wear Footpads— Eighteen Degrees Below Zero. Charged specifically with the theft of two pairs of shoes, although it was claimed that they had also stolen other articles of wearing apparel, James Burns and Willlam McKenna were each fined $5 and costs by Jus- tice E. P. Prior who heard the testi- mony in their cases this morning. The men are employed at the trans- fer station and the shoes whioch they appropriated belonged to Patrick Hurley and James Butler, their fel- low workmen. Burns and McKenna were in court Thursday for having abused Constable Marino because of his refusal to go to the sleeping car to arrest two negroes who had gone on a rampage and had driven the other occupants of the coach out into the night. They were given fines but were put on probation that they might have a chance to set- tle without going to fail Friday night while the other truck- ers slept considerable clothing disap- | peared and in the morning Hurley and Butler were without their rai- ment. Walking through the snow in his bare feet the former called on Grand Juror Norton Saturday and- registered a complaint. Constable Downing and Railroad Officer Grace investigated, the arrest of Burns and McKenna yesterday following. The prisoners were unable to pay their fines this morning and they were taken to jail to work out the penalty. Trolley Wire Down. Presence of mind on the part of Charles Johnson of Mountain View probably averted what might have been a serious accident early this morning. During the night nearly 1,000 feet of trolley wire fell onte the tracks near Hoyt's station, the wind having tore it from its position. Realizing the danger should a car run into the highly charged wire, Mr. Johnson left his home at an early hour and using his lantern for a danger signal stopped the first car coming from New Britain. It was dark at the time and had not the warning been given the car might have come in contact with the wire with the possibilities of dlaastrou1 re- sults. It was an hour before the repair crew could get here to fix the break. Tassengers on the first west bound car had their choice of remaining in their seats for over an hour or walking to Plainvlile. They accepted the alternative and braved the zero climate. % ‘White Ribboners to Meet Here. White ribboners from the various places in this section will gather here Friday afternoon for the mid-winter institute of the Hartford county W. C. T. U. which is to be held in the Baptist church. Temperance workers from all over the county are expected to attend and it is believed that the attendance will be large. The institute will open in the morn- ing at 10:30 and will last till 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The program will take the form of an ‘“‘efficiency con- gress” in the morning. In the after- noon there will be an address by Rev. W. E. Lanphear of Hartford, a tem- perance orator of recognized ability. Lunch will be served by the ladies of the church to the townspeople as well as the visitors. Aged Resident 1. Mrs. Ann Donahue, one of the old residents of the town, was reported this morning to be critlcally ill at her home on Blm couft and fears for her recovery were entertained. Mrs. Donahue was taken ill with heart trouble yesterday and was in a seriuos condition last night. In Honor of ILincoln. Part of the afternoon session in the various grades of the local school were given up today to patriotic ex- ercises in commemoration of the birthday of Lincoln.
