TAFTVILLE Sudden Death of William Greenhalgh from Heart Disease—Ill but a Few Minutes. Willlam Greenhalgh died suddenly in his home at 9 North A street Monday afternoon following an illness of only a few minutes. He had been in his usual good health up until Mon- day afterncon and was able to be about during the morning. At noon, according to his custom, hc carried dinners to the Ponemah mills, after- wards eating his own dinner. Dur- ing the afternoon he was eeized with a spasm and in a few minutes had passed away, his death being due to heart failure. He was in his home at the time and his wife was with him when he died. Mr. Greenhalgh was born in_England on March 1, 1847, the son of John and Mary Greenhalgh. The greater part of his life was passed in his native land, but for the past two veare he had made his home in Taftville. About 40 years ago he was united in mar- riage with Mary Ann Shaw in Eng- land. He was a leather lace cutter by trade, but for the last eight vears had led a retired life. Mr. Greenhalgh was an attendant of the church of Eng- land and was a member of the Odd Fellows, Manchester Unity. Besides his wife he leaves twelve children, all of whom are living. There are eight sons, John, William, Frank, James, Jesse,' Thomas, Joseph. and West, ‘the last two named residing in England ang -four daughters, Mrs. James Mather, Miss Nellie Greenhalgn who lives at home, Mrs. Alfred Bar- low of England and Mrs. Harry Hamp- son, also of England. Mr. Greenhalgh was well known among Taftville res- idents. He was a loving husband and a kind father and he leaves many triends who mourn his loss sincerely. Forty Hours Devotion. On Sunday morning the Forty Hour: Devotion will open in the Sacred Heart church with the French choir in at- tendance. The procession of the Blesseq Sacrament will take place at the high mass, which will open the devotional exercises. Confessiogs will be heard by visiting clergymen Sun- day and Monda Pinochle Club Meeting. The Taftville Pinochle elub held its rezular bi-monthly meeting in the club rooms on Front street Tuesday eve- ning with the president, John B. Be- noit in the chair.

The president, Mrs. George D. Coit, presided at the meet- ing, which opened with reading from the scriptures and prayer by Rev. Samue) H. Howe, D. D. The secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Davis, read the minutes of the last annual meeting, and also read her re- port for the year, There have been some changes and many perplexing problems, but the work of the year has Deen most satistactory, she said. The sewing school, after 18 years, has been discontinued, ' and hereafter sewing classes will be under the supervision of the club directors. One of the big projects of the vear was the raising of a guarantee fund to cover the expenses of 1913, and although the whole amount desired was not raised, yet we enter this year in much better financial condition than a year ago. Miss Aedlaide L. Butts, treasurer, read her report for the year, which was as follows: Treasurer's Report.

In the past three years, said Miss Butts, a literary club of ladies has con- trobuted 3340 for the maintenance ox the Falls club. There have been many other spectal contributions during the ‘ear to be used in various gepartments. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were accepted as read. The president said that there were three committees—the advisory, the as- sociate committee of the City Mission, and the auditors, all gentlemen—who have spent much effort in behalf of the association, whom she wished to thank for their work of the past year The United Workets' house was re- ported on by Mrs. L. N. Bishop, who said: The house is 4 center of great activity, but is always neat and bright. One room has been taken this year for lodging translente. There have been some slight repairs at the house, but shingling and painting will be neces- sary in 1913. City Missionary. City Missionary Rev. C. A. Northrop said that the City Mission rooms were 2 scene of a great variety of effort. Gifts of money and other things of value are received daily and all sorts of requests for aid and assistance are met. Literature. is distributed, and much visiting is done by the city mis- sionary and his assistant, Mrs. James Johnson. The amount of good- done cannot be measured by the amount of money spent, for the greatest good is hed in helping others to heip themselves. About 20 families received prolong- ed ald during the year. About 12 or these received ald In food every week, the other families for pertods of from one to six months. On these 20 fam- ilies there was expended $300 during the past year. About 50 other fam- ilies were aided very infrequently, 1n sums ranging from 75 cents to 328 for the entire vear. and on these families ther was expended about $330. About $0 other families recéived only- cloth- ing. Special funds for fresh air outings enabled us to give trolley and boat rides to nearly 170 persons in more than 60 families. Thanksgiving dinners were given as usual to a number of familles through the gifts of the school children and their elders. One hundred and ffty families were thus served, of which 70 receivad no other aid from the mis- sion. Contributions of cash and toys and such like things for Christmas cheer brought joy and help to many families and their children.

N § day school asked for and received the names of a number of families With children, to whom the members of its classes might minister in the way Christmas gifts. £ Various clubs and societies of young people, King’s Daughters and church organizations have proved a help in carrying on the work. Rev. Mr. Northrop also read the re- port of Miss Alice W. Cosswell of the City Mission c: teee. Miss Kate Rufld read her report on @istrict nursing. There is very little fliness, she said, at present, so that the nurse ‘s mot needed' daily; 1,232 calls have been made by the nurse during the year. Mention should be made of the kindness of Dr. H. M. Pollock of the state hospital, who furnished a nurse when needed. Sewing School. Miss Jane Aiken told the history of the 18 years of the sewing school,which started with a membership of 18. Much higher grade work has been accom- | plished * of late, she said, many preity |and necessary articles beins made. | During the past three years there has i been an average attendance | members. During its existence between {600 and 600 members have attended. It was decided to discontinue the class owing to the fact that it was reaching the class of girls who needed , it most. Mrs. Lucius Brown reporied on the vacation summer school. Five meet- ings were held, and were much enjoyed Dby the children, sald Mrs. Brown. The closing party was held at Lowthrobe Meadows and these pleasing festiv ities made a delightful close to the sea- son. The teachers were Miss Mary Rogers and Miss Marion Beebe. Employment Bureau. Mary G. Webster's report on the employment burcau was read by Mrs. F. A. Bidwell. The bureau, she said, is one of the oldest departments of the United Workers, and is still holding its own. Now we give sewing women from Novemer 1 o April 1. During the year 4,357 pieces were cut and sewed. We are con- stantly receiving more applications for | work each weel( but we are unable to provide work for more than ffty Somen. 2 | Mrs. H. L. Stanton reported 84 in- | mates at the almshouse at present. There have been nine deaths during the year, she said, but the general health at present is very zood. All seemed pleased with the gifts received, and conditions are very satisfactory District Visiting. Mrs. William H. Dawley of the dis- trict visiting committeg sald that there vas a special effort to carry on the visiting work during the campaign and the results were most satisfactory; | $1,308.71 was received through the vis- itors and $56 pledged last year was collected. The total amount this year w@s much larger than last year, and since 1900 there have been but three vears which exceeded the collections of this year. Miss Alice L. Bennett of the Shelter- ing Arms reported 37 patients cared for at the home. There are at pres- ent, she said, 17 patients. Every ef- fort has been made to insure the com- fort and pleasure of the patients. Rock Neok Home. Mrs. L. G. Lane read the report for the Rock Nook home, where the aim 1s, she gald, to do the work in the best. possible way for the future good of each child, The total expensé of the yoar was $3,959.06, making the aver- age weekly cost for each child $3.45, The collections from the churches and the donation from the Knights Tem- plar were gratefully acknowledged. There has been no serious epidemic during the year, theugh an outbreak of diphtheria seemed imminent in the spring, but this was averted without Serfous results by treatment at the hospital. The average number ai the home was 22, about the same as in 1911. Fourteen were admiited during the vear. Mrs. Lane reported many individual cases of interest and satisfaction. As far as possible communication is T tained after the children leave the home and it is with pleasure that e note the results of the training of the home. Mrs. Willis Austin gave the report on the Girls' clubs. Club work, she sald, means reaching out a hand to these children, many of them forelgn born, getting a personal contact with them and their homes, and helping {them so that they will give Norwich better citizens. Last year there were 12 classes with 311 children and th year there have been 13 ciasses with 109 children. The expense for the vear was $1,063.31, but the sum of. $221.80 was raised in the department. When one considers the great good accomplished this means a very small sum for the large results. We have thus far had to omit our cooking class, a most important one, owing to Inabil- ity to secure a teacher. Hired teach- ers are out of the question and volun- teer assistants are sought. If we can know that by our work a few of these little ones who begin life under handi- caps are heiped, then the work is not in vain. Amendment Adoptsd: Mrs, Bacon and Miss Davis reported { on an amendment which had been re- ferred to them requiring that the sec jretary of each branch of work be added to:the executive committee. The amendment was adopted. Rev. Mr. Northrop Spoke. Rev. Mr. Northrop was called upon for a' short address and ho sald in | part The new departure made in the year 1907 by the United Workers in the way of expansion of the work and “shaping it In accordance with modern ! | Mrs. | to Afty views of phianthro »poned the way for various experiments. Wlder work was suggested and partly ap- plled by the mew social workers, Mr. Corbin and Miss Hamlin, with results not altogether satisfactory even to the workers themselves, but the way was thus prepared for the United Workers to get thelr work more widely known and to get into touch with similar bands of workers elsewhere. The enrollment as a member of the Directory of Charity Organization, the exchange of reports with the lfght from other nlaces, “The Survey,” the recently formed state conference of charities .and correction and the two conferences of this and other states ‘which are specially interested in out. { door relief and family rehabilitation— all have tended to publish and to im- prove the work done in Norwich. The directory included 250 societ'es in America and 200 in foreign lands. We exchange reports with 75 socleties. The state of Connecticut has several chari- table organization socleties. In Hart. ford the work has been going on 22 years, New Haven 24 vears, New Brit- ain 19 years, Bristol 1 year, Water- bury 8 years, Meriden 3 years, Middle- town 8 years, Stamford 1 year, Nor- wich 35 years, New Londen 20 years. From the pports of these socleties in the offlece ‘and from the fnformation and ingpiration of the smaller confer- ence of workers, “intercity confer- énces,” we ere learning something about how other cities in, Conuecticut manage their social probiems, He gave facts and figures in the werk of other cities of the state and urged that the men of the city take a deeper interest in the work of the United Werkers.

Ricketts at Meet. ing of City Union—Pleasing Mu: cal Programme. to | __The City Union of King's Daughters and Sons held. its_guarterly. session, a most enjovable affair, at the Central Baptist church Tuesday evening with a iarge number in attendancé. The address of the evening was by Rev. C. H. Ricketts, whose subjéct was The King's Daughters in Relation to Civic Life. The programme for the evening was as follows: Selection, Mandolin club; hymn, Take My Life and Let It Be; reading from the Scrip- ture and prayer by Rev. P. C. Wright; roll ‘call, each circle responding in | unison with circle motto; solo, Oh, Swallows Flying South, Foster, Miss Eisie Brand; address, Rev. Mr. Rick etts: solo, Love Sings the Lark, Bis- choff, ‘and Mavourneen, Lang, _Mies Brand. The selections by Miss Brand were much enjoyed and the mandolin numbers were also appreciated. Rev. Mr. Ricketts took his text from Psalm 43: 13: “The King's daughter s all glorious within.” Uplift of moral and spiritual order, he sald, effects tne whole human race, not a part of it ang therefore one-half the race cannot do it alone. Atonement was made for | the world as made up of men and | women nnd therefore it must be men and women jointly by their faith and works who are to make their “calling and. election sure.” The position of woman has been raised from the degraded level of the time of the writing of the psalm so that today she stands on the equai level with man and has the same opportunities for education and ad- vancement. Now It seeme to me that an emphatic word ought to be spoken for the larger civic activity on Lhe part of the women. It appears to me that there are some phases of municipal work that could be better done by the daughters than by the sons of the King. Rev. Mr. Ricketts then spoke of a number of features of public work, the making of ‘the city beautiful, outwardly and inwardly, the meral cleaning of the city, which he felt should be taken up by the daughters of the King. We have.in the social order teddy, he said in concluding, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, but ihere are very few houses of refuge for the unfortunate girls. There lies before yeur society a great duty and a great oppertunity te ge eut (o a larger service for your sisters in the eommen Lerd and werk for the restoration of the “glorious beauty” of the daughters of the King. On_the conclusion of the programme 2 delightful secial session was enjoyed and dainty refreshments were eerved under direction of Mrs. A. T. Utley, Miss Helen Hamilten was in charge of the muste. The following young ladies made up the Mandolin club: Misses Mary A. Gallup, Mildred Cary, Georgia Fill- more, Vera Stetson, Dorothy Alton, Helen Storms, Ruth Symington and Olive Linton, pianist.

Rumors of a “deal” concerning county commissionerships which have been afloat for ‘some time, are given concrete expression. by the New Ha- ven Register in the following para- graph taken from a long article on_the subject: 2 Eight county commissioneérs will ter- minate their regular terms during_the year; that is, one in each county. Now it is understood that in four of the counties the democrats will be given a minority representation on the county commissions and that in.four other counties the republicans will be al- lowed to continue the present incum- bents if they want them. or to selest This exchange which both sides agree is fair, and therefore not political rob- bery, is made to expedite the business of the general assembly. If such an agreement was not made then the house and senate would probabiy dis- agree, agsuming that the repyblicans always have thelr full strefgth present in the house, and there would be the very dickens to pay. Whose Terms Expire. The county commissioners whose terms expire October 1 in the eight counties follow Hartford—F. = Ernest. Watkins of Manchester. New Haven—John Wilkinson of Orange. } New London—Charles D. Noves of Norwich. Fairfield—Whitmas . Mead . of Greenwich. Windham-“E. Herbert Corttis of Thompson. Litchfieli—John J. Karl of Litch- fleld. Middlesex—Charles E. Chapman of ‘Westbrook Tolland—Mayro Keeney of Somers. The Tolland county comniissioner is @ member of the present senate. While the election of county com- missionerships is done by the entire assembly on caucus selections by the countles, it is interesting that the democrats will—or would—centrol five of the elght counties. As far as any “deal” In New Lon- don county, Mr. Noyes said on Tues- day that he had heard of none here and knew nothing of one.
