An adfourned business meeting of Open House was held in-the club par- lors on Thursday evening, called to or- der by the president, Rev. Neilson Poe Carey. In the absence of Secretary Harry J. Branche, the office was filled by E, H. Berry. The special business was to consider a proposed amendment to the consiitution which should sub- stitute monthly meetings for the semi- annual meetings in April and October. After considerable discussion, a com- mittee was appointed to bring in_a new set of by-laws at a meeting to be called the second Monday in January. This committee was President Carey, George H.

Postmaster William Caruthers has a word of advice to give to the people who are about to mail Christmas pack- ages. These can be expected to crowd the mails from now on, and he tells the Norwich people to be sure and mall them at the main postoffice instead of the sub-station at the Bos ton Store. This is not only to heip the department, but also' to” benefit the senders and receivers, for the mailing of the packages at the main office will result in jackageés reaching their des- tinations earlier. Since the Boston Store was burned out of the Shannon building it has not been possible to provide accommoda tions for the sub-station as they were before, so that the public shonld take a hand in helping out by taking their packages up to the postoffice building “0_K” sionally take a dose of FRUIT LAX Fruit Lax is a dainty, but thorough laxative, put up in easy-to-take tab- let form.

' Congressman Higgins s looking well after his constituents at every avail- able opportunity and within the last ‘two months there has been a thorough inspection of the rural free delivery routes in New London county, the ad- dition of three new routes, extension and changes on others, all of which is working towards the establishment of a county service. The congressman as the result of numerous inquiries for roral service had Inspector Clark Campbell sent here to establish the county service and for the past two months he has been making his head- quarters in the office of Postmaster Caruthers and going over the rural routes with the carriers. The resuit of his changes and new routes leaves the county 80 well covered by the thirty- five routes that there is no chance now to get in another route, although he was at Voluntown on Thursday for the purpose of looking over that end of the county for such a purpose, but it was found there were not enough in— habitants there for a route. During his stay here Postmaster Caruthers has given the inspector much valuable assistance. Mr. Camp- bell finds that county” service is possi- ble and has made a map of all the thir- ty-five routes, which will be numbered from 1 to 35. The first nine are from the Norwich office and will not be changed.. By the extensions and the changes there are many more people who are going to get the benefit of the service. The requirements are for four families for every mile of a route and the routes average about twenty-one miles in length. With the network of routes a strange fact is that New London has not a single route leading from its office. All the territory which would be available for it has been serveq from the Waterford office. The new routes which Inspector Campbell has laid out are from Black Hall, Mystic and North Stonington. The Mystic route Is sixteen miles long and has 128 families thereon. It leaves the office l?ld goes west and then north, passing the Caswell corner, goes around by Amasa Main's to the Yellow Hill corner and back through Old Mys- tic to Mystic. It will not disturb the Old Mystic office. By the petitioning of the people for routes which are now established offices at Mohegan, Leffing- well, Ledyard, Fair Grounds and Ash- willett have been given up and Pres- ton made a station. Inspector Campbell states that there is no other mmt{.t.hu“lc knows of which or will have any better ser- vice than New London county has. In Norwich the routes are all jaid out so that in every direction where the city carriers stop the rural carriers com- mence and serve the people every ng with their mail. ere will of course be some resi- dents of the county who do not get the seryice, but this will be because they are so scattered from other residents that there are not enough families to furnish the four to the mile required by the government regulations. In- spector Campbell is a man of genial personality and has a pleasing way of reaching the people in the matter of the service. He has been in the ser- vice since the division service was started and thoroughly understands every detail. He has not only had to g0 over every inch of the routés in this county, but he is obliged to, make a description of every route, giving dis- tances, and also draw on the map the different routes, indicating the direc- tion taken and noting on the roads the location of the houses. He has trav- eled New London county pretty thor- oughly and looked over the route which comes in from Westerly, serving Ston- ington, and also the route which comes in from southeastern Windham coun- ty. He expects to finish his work here today or tomorrow. 1t is a noticeable fact that the strong opposition which was manifesied against the service when Postmaster Caruthers got the first route for Nor- | wich and began the service hereabouts has entirely disappeared and the peo- ple are now eager to get the henefit of the dally carrier wherever possible. At corners and prominent points through- out the country are to be seen many letter boxes where mail is delivered for the residents who may live a short distance’ off the routes. Every possi- ble resident is gotten onto the routes and the county by his revision of the routes is now covered as well as it can be. The first appropridtion by the gov- ernment for rural free delivery was $10,000. Last year it was 337,000,000, and that was not enough. New London county is far ahead of most cougties in having such excellent service and it was due to the farsight- edness and the good work of Congress- man Higgins that such excellent ad- vantages have been secured B Sl S S S S R U AL AL 018 NEW SUITS FILED IN SUPERIOR COURT. Mrs. Margaret Kelley Sues Supreme Council, C. B. L., for Insurance Money on Her Son's Life Policie Among the few new cases returned to the clerk of the superior court for the first Tuesday in January are the following: Margaret Kelley of Norwich sues the supreme council, Catholic Benevo- lent Legion, of New York, for the sum of $2,500. ' It is claimed that on March 16, 1892, John J. Kelley became a_member of White Cross council, No. 156, and of the defendant corporation and he was a member in good stand- ing of the council and corporation up to the time of his death, and that it agreed upon Mr. Kelley's 'death to pay Margaret Kelley, mother of John J. Kelley, the sum of $2,000. Mr. Kelley died ‘March 11, 1908, while in good standing. Proof of his death has been furnished the corporation, but it re- fuses to pay the $2,000. A suit for foreclosure of a mort- gage has been brought by the Savings Bank of New London against Frances Strickland, admx., and others. WIRELESS MESSAGE FROM MID-OCEAN Brought News to Norwich from A. H. Brewer and Three Daughters Thurs- day Evening. ‘William A.

The annual colonial supper given by the Helping Hands at the Spiritual Academy was carried out there Thurs- day evening with the usual attention to every detail which can be expected from this society. Candelabra made the table decorations, the waitresses wore the colonial costumes with charm- ing effect, and the menu Included such appropriate articles as baked beans, pumpkin pie, doughnuts, cheese, zin- gerbread and brown bread.

At the opening of the superior court on Thursday morning, the case of Ma- rion, admr. vs. the Conuecticut was resmued and the motion for a nou-suit was further argued by At- torneys Kenealy and Perkins. Judge Reed denied the motion after hear- ing the arguments and getting the statements of the witnesses as to here Alpha Burdick lay after being it off the car. This was done at opening of the afternoon session of court at two o'clock. The defense then called Herman M. Opitz and Conductor Welch. Mr. Weich testified to putting Mr. Burdiek off the car, stating that he had to pull his hand away from the handle, and that the man was sitting on the sround. facing the car, when the car Jeft. Mr. Opitz gave dimensions of the rails, fenders and car steps. That completed the testimony for the de- fense. Attorney Perkins desired to get the stenographer, who took notes before Coroner Brown, but she could not be reached and the notes of the defense they could not agree on, and the evi- dence closed. Attorney, Kenealy then moved that the judge direct the verdict, and the metion was argued, at the completion of which the motion was granted ad the jury in accordance with the di- rection of the court brought in & ver- dict for the defendant. They were then excused unt!l next Tuesday and court was adjourned at three o'clock until this morning for short calendar business.
