At a special meeting of the Westerly town council, with every member in attendance, Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 8 o'clock, the whole Westerly po- lice force, including the chief, was on the carpet. It was a session that rival- led in interest the regular council meeting of Monday, when Mrs. Mary Graff,owner of the Martin house build- ing, freely aired her opinion as to the police co ittee and police force and their methods. The cops of the town, presented with the facts, thought that there had been misunderstanding in the past. The of- ficers thought that the police commit- tee had not always been backed up by all the members of the council in their efforts to enforce the law. The police were given plainly to understand that the whole council is behind the police committee and that the law must be gobserved and enforced impartially. A vote was passed by the council rescinding the vote of Monday, which placed the whole council on the police committee, and Councilmen James Cul- ley and H. N. Burdick were again made the committee. The council -passed an ordinance brought it by Town Solicitor Agard re- garding the sale of cider. It was also recommended that a petition be brought to the state legiglature for a change in the laws governing the sale of cider. The council adjourned after voting money to the town clerk to pay for the Teturn of birth certificates. Charles H. Humphrey of New Lon- don, formerly manager of the New Lon- don and New Brifain teams in the Con- necticut Baseball league, was in West- erly, Wednesday, in the interests of the new trolley league to be comprised of teams representing Norwich, New Lon- don and Willimantic, and probably Westerly. Mr. Humphrey as a special delegate from the league had an interview with Thomas Chapman, an old time baseball player, former manager of the White | Rock team and coach of the Westerly | High school team, and urged him to accept the management of the Wester- ly Trolley league team. | Marjorie Culvonelli, formerly of Westerly, now leading sololist in a| Providence church, was the soprano | soleist at the concert of the Arion club | given in the Mathewson street chureh, | Providence, Tuesday evening, and her efforts received deserved applause.

Porter of Bridgeport Will Not Say Much About Martyred President. A Dr. George L. Porter of Bridgeport is one of the few men living today who were personally acquainted with Pres- ident Idncoln. Although the martyred president has been dead for 44 years, recollections are as vivid in the=mind of Dr. Porter as though the events oc- curred but a year ago., Dr. Porter has always maintained a strict reticence regarding his relations with President Lincoln and a stricter one in regard to the dispoeition of the body of John ‘Wilkes Booth, the assassin of the president. He was the only commis- sioned officer present at the execution and examined the body after death. “The body of Booth,” said Dr. Porter, “now reposes unmarked in a Balti- more cemetery.” After the hanging it was delivered to the family of the murderer on the strictest promise that | there should-be no funeral services, and | no monument, stone or mound ever be raised to show where the remains lay. The promise was made and strictly kept. Among his possessions is a piece of | the blood-stained dress worn by Miss Laura Keene, who was seated in the box with Lincoln, the night of the shooting, and who held his head in her lap as he bled profusely from the wound. The piece of silk shows two well-defined stains of the president’'s blood. Accompanying this mementosis a letter written by Miss Keene certi- fying to its authenticity. Another souvenir is a letter written by President Lincoln te Lieut.-General Grant. assuming full responsibility for enlisting the confederate soldiers in the United States army, thus relleving | Secretary of War Stanton from the | and blame which had been placed upon him by General Grant and other army officers. This letter was secured from a friend of General Grant to swhom it was pre- sented by the general after the war. Tt is framed, but the doctor refuses to ipermit it to be copied. responstbility New Way to Keep Warm. A novel scheme to avoid some 5! the extreme discomfitures of the co'd wave was tried by a man from Harwiiten Tuesday. When the man arrived in the center he commenced throwing pota- toes out of his pockets into the street When asked why he was throwing vegetables away when everything is so high, he saidithat he uses potatoes as substitutes for soapstones. . He has the potatoes baked before leaving home, places them in different pockets and could ride a long djstance and keep his hands comfortably warm. Annual Report of Milk Inspector.

Serious Drawback to Rapid Growth of Better Timber. During the past 15 years or so the large part of the heavy standing tim- ber about Reynolds Bridge has been converted into building material and shipped to dealers down the valley. Ties also have been a specialty, and cordwood in great quantities has been cut, the Plume & Atwood Manufac- turing company furnishing a continu- ous business during this period. The lumber and ties have been shipped to market, but hauling wood is still brisk. The condition of the forest is such that it will require many years of slow growth before any great amount of good timber can be sawed into lum- ber. Today the white birch is a serious drawback to rapid growth of the bet- ter timber. It is moticeable that in the Naugatuck valley as soon as a piece of timber has been cut off the white birch springs up in great num- bers, growing rapidly, making a forest of its own kind., which chokes the slower growing and more valuable tim- ber, some of which never matures in consequence, White birch, which gets an earlier start, is not considered val- ueless, for it serves as second or third 4class firewood. Not only iIs it a seri- ous setback to the more valuable tim- ber, but its seeds blow broadcast over cleared lands and in less than five years if allowed will cover the land. Much of the land not mowed for hay has to be gone over every year to keep the white birch in check. It ex- tracts much fertility from land where it is allowed to stand and if trans- planted will live and even prosper on the poorest soii—Waterbury Ameri- can. Probation Officer F. wdmw(uoy has last year, says 1909 fifty persons were placed on pro- bation in the city court and under his care. More than half of those placed on probation kept the agreement to pay their finés and reported regularly. ‘Among the other half there were some hard cases, men that would rather go to jail than otherwise. In the opinion of Probation Officer Willey the proba- tion law helps some and others it does not.

Waste of Soap Probably half of all the soap ught 1s wasted—washed away in the water, melted in the soap dish, lost or stolen. 1 Progress means elimination of waste. The Soapator prevents all waste and loss of soap. A cylinder of solid soap is locked within the SOAPATOR. By simply turning the ’handle fine granules are shaved off and delivered into the hand. Thus you only ‘pay for soap actually used, and not for ,that which runs down the waste pipe, or lis tarried away. i iBesides, by shaving the solid soap into ‘this granular form, as it is used, it is igreatly expanded. As pound of soap ‘used in a SOAPATOR will go twice as ‘far as the same weight of ordinary cake *soap. .SOAPATORS are being adopted every- where in best places because modern, hygienic and economical.
