Burns against the Ancient Order of United Workmen to recover the sum of $2,000 said to be due the estate as a death benefit, is at- tracting considerable attention throughout the state owing to the question involved as to the right of secret societies requiring members to | forfeit their benefits should they at fany time fail to comply with rules | adopted after the member has been | connected with the lodge for years. After Mr. Burns joined the order a | new rule governing the eligibility of members was made. It states that no member can engage in the liquor traf- fic under penalty of forfeiture of all rights and claims to benefits. In join- ing the order each member agrees to abide by the rules of the order as at present exist and which later may be enacted. ‘he contention of the lodge is that the right to recover benefits | from the er was lost when Mr. Burns engaged in the ligquor trafflc, violating a strict and well kngwn rule of the order. On the other hand, the estate claims that no organization can | bind a member to consent to the un- | known actions of a majority of mem- | bers, and that the contract was ille- gal, owing to the indefinite character of the contract proposed & the lodge. 11t expected that the case will be' | taken to the supreme court for a dec on MODERN WOODMEN. new applications for mamber- were received at Wednesday 's meeting of Norwich camp, No. M. ¥ which was Leld in T ~o rnian hall.

He makes an apnual visit to Thames council every Thanksgiving, and, as usuval, his visit this year was the ‘occasion of a specially enjovable time for all.

R., which was held in the Buckingham | Memorial with Commander ‘Henry |Hovey in the chair. The meeting was called at 7.30, the hour set for the meetings during the winter months, and as there was no special business on hand adjournment was taken at a little before 9.

Com- mander Hovey has arranged to have with them on that occasion the depart- ment commander and his staff and ad- dresses will probably be made by him and several other prominent people during the courss of the evening. TEACHERS’' SALARIES. Bridgeport Board of Education Con- siders 15 Per Cent. Increase. Members of the Bridgeport board of education are discussing a fifteen per cent. increase in the salaries of the iteachers in the public schools. As yet no official action has been taken, but it is believed that a plan to that ef- fect will be introduced at the next meeting of the board. The proposition favored by many of the board members is for an increase chiefly in the lower paid members of and principals, according to the pop- uar plan, will be given little if any increase. The object of the move- ment is to bring the standard of teach- ing in Bridgeport up to that in others about New England. Springfield has recently adopted a new schedule, and, if any action is taken, this schedule will probably be taken as a standard. If the fifteen per cent. increase is g ted, it will swell the pay roll of the board $24,000. Did Much Good, Little Harm. Now that Tolstoi has breathed his last, his illogical philosophy, his vague and contradictory moral and system, his benevolent and exalted va- garies, are all gone, too. |in history as a great and good man, great in h attainments and his ge ius, good because he was as true man can well be to the ideal he cher- his views. But he dreamed always of happiness on earth through purity and brotherhood, of the abolition of pov- erty, of the regeneration of man, and he strove in his own inevitably perfect w to make the ideal a real- ity.
