The January that closes today is said by close observers of the weather to be the most remarkabie that Wind- Bam county has had in & score of years.

The annual meeting of the Westfleld Cemetery association has been post- Doned, although the report of the treasurer, Nathan D. Prince, has been presented and placed on file. The ab- sence of a quorum prevented the hold- 1nn‘ of the meeting and election of of- cers. ‘Wednes- ) afternoon at the home Armi there is to Mr. Prince’s report shows that both the gemeral fund and the perpetual care fund of the society have increased during the year that has just closed. The general fund now amounts to $8,236.77, and the perpetual care fund to $10,597.62, an increase in the two funds of $886.8¢ over 1911. The value of investment in the per- petual care fund is becoming more ang more apparent to lot holders, it is evident, for the number represented in the fund shows steady increases from year to year. The Westfield cemetery property, at the northwest of Danielson, is one of the best kept properties of its kind in eastern Connecticut.

PUTNAM Representative Joseph Plessis to In- troduce Important Bill and Petition— Candidate For Carnegie Hero Honors—Equal Suffrage and Address —Hotel Chickering Loss Adjusted For $11,500. Representative Joseph Plessis has several matters that he will bring to the attention of the legislature before the time for filling new business, a week from today ,expires. One resolu- tion that he will put in calls for an increased appropriation from the state for the State Firemen's association. It is felt by firemen throughout the state that this more aid. Another measure that he will in- troduce will call for the display of lights on all vehicles traveling in the highways of the state during the night season. Such a measure was pre- sented at the last session, but did not With the rapid increase in au- tomobile traffic, however, Mr. Plessis feels that the law has become a neces- sity and would be a benefit for those whom it would affect, as they would be better protected from accidents due to becoming entangled with automo- biles, the drivers of which, no matter how caréful ,sometimes sirike a ve- hicle that is carrying no lights. A petition that Mr. Plessis will pue- sent will call for action by the Con- necticut company in extending its trolley lines in this city. For several years there has been an agitation for a trolley line'loop extending from the organization should have line at Providence and Kim street through the latter street and back through ~ Woodstock avenue and either Church.and Pomfret street or Bridge street to the main line. Peti- tions seeking such an extension have been circulated and filed, but noth- ing ever came of them in the way of | realization of the extension. Mr. Plessis’ appointments in the leg- islatul): are as a member of the com- mittees on education and on congres- sional ang senatorial districts. DUE CARNEGIE HONORS. Joseph Burton, Who Saved Lives of 17 in Hotel Fire, Qualified For Hero Recognition. Joseph Burton, to whom the 17 peo- ple who were aslesp in the Chickering hotel Monday morning owe their lives, is being urged by persons famillar with the facts to make application for recognition in the Carnegle hero class. If it had not been for Burton's dis- covery of the fire and his prompt ac- tion in arousing William W. Dwyer, one of the hotel employes, there is lit- tle reason to doubt that most of those in the hotel would never have come out alive. Ten minutes more would have been sufficient to suffocate some of them. Burton, at great risk, saw to it that the hotel was aroused before he took time to run down street and pull in the alarm that brought out the fire de- partment. Those in the hotel are anxious te make affidavit to Burton's bravery and prompt action. which averted in all probability a catastrophe such as this city has never experienced. liaved that upon the advice of his friends Burton will seek’ recognition from the Carnegie Hero Fund com- mittee.

Mechanicaville Farmer Proposes to Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw on Sight—Is Gently Refused But Not Discouraged. (Special to The Bulletin.) Danielson, Jan. 30—Dr. Anna How- ard Shaw, president of the National | Suffrage assoclation, amd for twenty years the heavy cannon of the woman's i rights movement, 69 years of age and { white halred, received a formal pro- posal of marriage from a farmer who was in her audience at the Orpheum theater here Wednesday night. Dr. Shaw had talked for mose than an hour and her keen wit had kept the audience in an uprdar. While the colléction was being taken an elderly farmer -up‘?ed up to one of the ushers and asked if Dr. Shaw was married, that she is still in the state of single blessedness the farmer inquired en- xiously if he could speak to her, THo | usher led the way to the back of the stage where they met Dr. Shaw as she ‘was leaving the platform, The farmer introduced himseif as John Frisble a farmer from north of Mechanicsville. He said he had been a widower for eighteen years and had a farm of a hundred acres with a nice house and nfany barns, He ld he “never heered a prettier speech, you kotched them fellers out there every time.” Dr. Shaw was much amused but her interest turned to astonishment when the old chap went on to say that he was lonely that he ceuld give her g gooa home and an easy time and h thought he would just ask her if she could find it in her heart ta marry him, they both betug s¢ old and alone. Dr. Shuw smiled and bowed with cer- emony, for once her semse of humor deserted her and she failed to notice how fuuny the whole en assured uneasy purpose in the world is to make things easier and better for the thousands of women and girls who are bearing the heaviest burdens in this country.
