MURRAY s | e B"h IR e da o i s Churches and Socially—Many Guests WILLIKANTIC, CONN. SR Raets Christmas day in Willimantic on the 1acal thoroughfares had every appear- ance of a Sunday, especlally during the afternoon. The only places doing - business was the markets and a fow grocery stores and barber shops, which kept open unti] 11 a. m., and only a few places such as candy and cigar stands did business in the afternoon and eve ing. Services both morning and eve ing at the local churches were well at- tended. The real hard work of the day fell to the lot of the early milkmen, and the already tired out postoffice and express company employes, the latter trying hard to reduce the inereasing loads that came on every train to con- signees all over :the ¢ The ex- press companies had extra help and all Worked hard. The publlc entertgin- ment attractions were few and includ- ed a basketball game at the new ar— mory, a show at Loomer opera_house called Mysticland, a social at Wash- burn_hall and moving picture shows at the Bijou and the Scenic. All were well patronized.

The delicacy committee of the ladies’ staff connected with the hospital during the week ef- forts in the community was well u- warded, as many baskets and ham of food, cholce - viands, fruit, :omu. etc., were left at the hospital Christ- mas eve for the patients and working corps connected. Besides this many individuals left or sent suitable gifts to the hospital. There were many vis- itors and callers Christmas day at the hospital. Sisters Remembered. The St. Joseph’s and St. Mary's convents sisters In those institutions were remembered Christmas by many in recognition of the good work they are doing. Alumni and many pupils of the schools of the two parishes and friends sent gifts to the sisters. A |y, prominent citizen remembered the sis- ters of both convents by sending each towards their Christmas dinner a large native turkey. At the Town Farm. Christmas day at-the town farm was a pleasant one for the 32 inmates, 17 men and 15 women. Supt. Henry H. Chamberlain and wife did their utmost to make it pleasant for those whose fortunes in this world are bad. Gen- eral work was dispensed with for the day and in the evening a fine turkey and poultry dinner was served to the inmates, everything coming from and raised on the place. At 7 p. m. there was a general good time, an entertain- ment of speechmaking and music being furnished by some of the inmates who have considerable talent. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain were awarded a vote of thanks by the inmates at the close, Rush Week at Postoffice. At the local postoffice the Christmas biisiness was the largest in the history of the office. The whole force from Postmaster Dimmick down to the fan- itor feel it in their bones the rush of work during the week. The sending away money orders, drafts, domestic and foreign, exceeds any previous Christmas week, as well as packages and other mailing pleces. The sale of stamps alone proves some of the vol- ume of business done, no less than 20,000 one-cent stamps being disposed of during the week. Of this number there were sold over 5,000 each Thurs- day and Friday, which went largely on the postage of postcards. Two-cent stamps also ran into the thousands sold. Stamps of larger demomination also had a big call. The incoming mail fairly swamped the carriers’ tables and although a double horse team and the ful' force of substitute carriers worked hard Thursday, Friday and Christmas forenoon, there was some still left over. The regular carriers made one morn- ing trip Christmas. The office closed during the afternoon, but opened in the evening from 6 ta § o'clock. In the Catholis Churches. The Christmas gervices vesterday at St. Joseph’s -~ Catholic church were largely attended at all of the five mass- es. There was high mass at § a. m. Rev, J. J. McGuane was celebrant and Rev. J. J.

Principal J. L. Harroun of the Nrtchaug Public school announces the list of pupils of his school in the eight grades who have neither been absent, tardy nor dismissed during the fall term, just ended. The list numbers 65, the boys winning out by a. slight mar- gin, there being 33 and the girls 32. The eighth grade shows the large number, 20, the other grades being: Seventh 13, sixth 7, fifth 'I fourth 12, third 1, second 3, first 2. Principal Harroun and.the school corps of teach- ers feel pleased with such a dictinction, as the number is 20 per cent, of the average attendance At Congregational Church. The Christmas services heid in three of the local churches Sunday—Congre- gatlonal, Methodist and Baptist—were not as well attended as they would |y, kave been had the weather been as fav- orable as that of Christmas day. The congregations were good, however. The musical programmes were carried out, and excellent sermons were delivered !by the pastors on the birth of the Sav- our. At the Congregational ¢hurch at 10.45 4. m. there was the sacrament of bap- tism. The church quartette sang Sing, Oh, Heaven, Tours; The Birthday of a King, Neidlinger; Daughter of Zion, Maker. Rev. Mr. Beard dellvered a baptismal sermon, The Part of the Shepherds. At 5 p. m. vespers was held, with the topic for discourse be- ing The Era of Good WIll. The musi al numbers were: The Coming of tI King, by Buck, and Calm on the List- ening Far of Night, Marzo. The Grex and Sodalitis clubs had charge of the decorations, which were tastefully ar- ranged. ‘The children’s Christmas festival will eb held at 6.30 tonight in the chapel. At the Baptist church at the Sunday morning service the pastor, Rev. R. Hartley, preached on The World Forces Grouped About the Manger in Bethle- hem, and Their Place in the Onward March of the Child of Jesus. The music was of high order, a chorus of twenty voices singing a specially arranged programme by Mrs. Annie Freeman Tucker, organist, assisted by Mrs. Otto Robinson, soloist, and Charles Tucker, violinist. At the evening service Rev. R. G. Hartley delivered a sermon on The Meaning of the Incarnation, and the following musical programme was carried out: March of the Mgi, Harkis; Largo from the New Wo0d Symphony, Dvoark; Grand Chorus, Spencer.

For ntecostal the first time, under the new statute | 8!! recently enacted, the saloons were €los- ed on Christmas, and this fact kept many off the street. The business sec- tion of the city was deserted part of the day. ALL-WORCESTER DEFEATED. Putnam Wins in Christmas Afternoon Game 54 to 30, Before an audience of 400, defeated the All-Worcester Putnam team in Hammond hall Christmas afternoon, The visitors were trimmed from the start, so much so. in fact, that d:ero was danger of kiliing the Interest be. fore the second half commenced. T‘h. final score was 54 to 30 in favor of the home team. Marland of Danlelson was at center for the Putnam five, and pro- ceeded to enjoy @ lovely celebration of the holiday. He threw 15 field goals during the 40 minutes of play, enough to win the game all by himself. N. Dupre also had an eye for the basket, and got seven goals, while Lazotte managed to add four more. The All- ‘Worcester team were not all from Wor- cester, but that did not make any articular difference. When the vis- tors scampered on to the court the old basketball fans in the audience tted “Ruse” Conlon of Webster in the bunch. The former star was an unexpected vlul(or, but he did not prove dangerous. He has lost his old time speed and agility, but he can go some yet. Ruse is pretty fat to make the high speed plays he was wont to pull off, yet he shows an occasional flash of his old time form. Jack Curran of Southbridge, and with Danlelson during the league days, ‘was also with the All-Worcester aggre- gation. Curran did the good work for his team, shooting seven goals from the field. The game was not especially fast or particularly exciting at any time, but was cleanly played and interesting. Neither team exhibited any great amount of team work, relying more on individual work to get results, The summary of the game follow Putnam—N. Dupre rf, Lizotte If, Marland ¢, Chaput and E.

City and Vicinity Snowbound—Train and Trolley Service Hampered. Burfed in the worst snowstorm in half a dozen years, this section of east. ern Connecticut will try to get back to a normal condition this morning. Sun- day witnessed the worst tieup of mm: in years. The trolley road was blocke between Webster and Central Village during all of the day and not a car was able to get through until 8 o'clock Sunday night, when one of the plows forced its way from the fair ground to Putnam to Central Village. The snow is piled up in such drifts a: lrt rarely to be seen in this section, and i will be several days before all (ht country roads are broken out.

The United States is at last about to conform to the usage of other civilized countries in its methods of constituting a diplomatic corps. Indeed, if the plan outlined by thc P fldont in his mes- sage be faithfull, ve us a very lup contemplates not only such an exami- nation as will insure mental capacity and thorough pment_ but as far as ble those personal qualities wi out which brains and hlrnlng avail but little. Original appointments will be only to the lowest grades, with the in- tention of promoting up to the grade of minister by careful selection. There is no profession which de- mands so much of a man in its higher walks. To be an accomplished suc- cessful diplomat a man must be a gen- tleman and a man of the world, genial and adaptable, and at the same time with a dignity of character and of per- son which makes him'a fit representa- tive of his country. He ought to be and thoroughly versed in history, political science, art and polite literature, for the position will bring him in contact with the most highly educated and intellectual people wherever he goes, and he must expect to be stationed at many posts. ‘While not standing in the close rela- tion to commerce which consuls occu- py, he must be well informed in re- gard to the general currents of trade and the demand of home and foreign markets and familiar with the laws, both domestic and foreign, affecting them.—Washington Post. An Exh of Sports. Something novel in the way of a world's exposition is the international exposition of sports and games to be held at Frankfort, Germany, May 15 to July 15, 1910. The Festivities hall, where the affair is to be held, appears to afford ideal facilities, the hall itself being a vast and convenient structure, while in the adjoining grounds there is ample space for outdoor games, and the River Main, flowing through the grounds, is available for aquatic sports and contests. The list of ex- hibits and competitions is broadly comprehensive, embracing in addition to the conventional Jawn, fleld and wa— ter sports, Alpine mountain exercises, hunting, aviation, touring and travel- ing, under which head photography and optics are Included; sanitary and life- saving sports, including orthopedic and health gymnastic apparatus: objects of art having connection with sporting matters, and even toys, for the games of children are to be represented as well as those of adults. Clubs, asso- clations, universities and schools are invited to co-operate. No doubt they will generally respond, as far as lies in their power, for the nature of, the exposition ls such as to arouse the keenest interest in every quarter where sports and games clafm attention.— Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
