He was born in Foster, ALBERT BLACKMAR, Dies at Age of 101. June 13, %412, and had lived all of his life there. Until within a .few months his health was good and at the age of 101 his mind was clear and bright, though his hearing had falled to the degree where he was almost wholly deaf. A Few Birds Taken. Wednesday was the first day of the open season for hunting game protect- ed by law during the greater part of the year and local sportsmen did not overlook the opportunity to get into the woods. Some birds were taken and game reported as being quite plentiful, but good shooting conditions did not exist, as the day was dark and there are too many leaves on the trees for doing effective work. Improving at Backus Hospital. George Nash, injured in an auto- mobile accident -here in August, con- tinues to improve at the Backus hos- pital in Norwich and is 'expected to be able to return to his home within a short time. No date has been set by the county commissioners for coming to Daniel- son to grant licenses. It is understood that all of the present holders of li- censes will apply for renewals. Local Hebrew residents in many in- stances will be out of town tomorrow (Friday) for the observance of Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. Made Fine Address. Members of the Danielson Business Men’s association speak in high praise of the address given before them by Thomas J. Kelley of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce. It was one of the finest addresses of its kind heard here. The Progressives’ Way. One explanation for the numiber of ballots without a mark of any kind being put on them in Monday’s elec- tion is interesting. It is to the effect that most of these 57 ballots were voted by members of the progressive party, which had no loecal ticket, they not cafing to vote for either the repub- lican or democratic candidates for of- fice, but anxious to go on record on the license question, which they could not zet a chance to vote on without going through the booths and taking a town ticket, which had to be dropped into the proper box. It is claimed that the ballots were intentionally dropped in without markings so that they would not be counted. Selectmen Organize, _ Killingly’s board of selectmen, which is the same as last year, all of the members having been reelected, met Wednesday in the selectmen’s rooms here for reorganization. The organiza.- tion is the same as.last year. A con- siderable amount. of routine business came before the board for considera- tion, but not much special matter of importance. Bonds of constables elect- ed Monday were received that the men qualify. A large number of bills were passed upon at the meeting. Charles B. Hutchins, Robert G. Smith and William P, Kelley, assessors of the town of Killingly; issued notices on Wednesday relative to the filing of lists by persons liable to pay taxes. No- vember 1 is named as the limit for filing lists. The notices give a list of the places and time where lists may be filed in the various villages of the town. Commissioners Visit Jail.

Limilted to $5,500 on pauper account expense until July 31, 1914, when the present fiscal year ends, the selectmen of Killingly. will be called upon to do some very close figuring to stay with- in that sum, if the figures in the town regorts for the past few years may be taken as an indication of the heavy demands made upon the officials for alding the poor. 1n 1910 the gross amount expended for the poor was $6,288.24; In 1911 the gross amount was $5,034.49: in 1912, the gross, amount was $5,235.22 and in 1913 the gross amount was $11,277.43. The figures from 1910 to 1912 inclu- sive are all close in totals to the amount of the appropriation for the present fiscal year, but in 1813, through various contributing causes, the cost of the town poor has decidedly aud- vanced. One of the reasons for this increase is the big advance in the cost of living, which applies in caring for poor as elsewhere, and to the fact that bills were paid and charged to 1913’s account that it is claimed should have | gone in on the accounts of the pr vious year, but this is a matter bookkeeping. The problem that confronts the lectmen at the present time is to stay within the limited appropriation. To begin with they faca a charge for in- sane poor of $1,604.02, taking 1913 fig- ures for a basi§ They have no con- trol over this expense, which must be met and cannot be regulated. Oftside poor in 1913, year ending July 31, cost $2,914.77. Therefore the outside poor | and the insane poor cost the town $4,- 518.79, within $1,000 of what has been allowed for the poor this year, and | this does not take into consideration the expense of maintaining the town farm, the net expense of which was $3,233.51 during the fiscal year ending July 31 1913. Of course, the outside poor cost can gh from Wor- of be regulated to some extent. The se- lectmen can absolute! refuse aid in many cases, but if they do, in some of these at least, theTap 2 will ask to ‘be sent to the town farm, which will increase the expense there. The se- lectmen will use every endeavor to do ! Jjustice to everyone with the appropria- tion that has been given them, but in the opinion oif many they i wizards of finance if they do ail will be expected to do and urged do and still spend no mpre than $5.5 as net cost to the téwn for its poor. PUTNAM | Woman After Grosvenordale Postoffice Cutover Today at Telephone Ex- cnange—Death of Frank Bellefon- taine, the Tattooed Man. | There are two candidates for ap- pointment to the postmastership at North Grosvenordale when the term of the present republican incumbcent expires. They are Miss Camilda ‘Woisard, daughter of Selectman Philip Woisard, and Charles N. Chandler. Both candidates have petitions out and gfll make a lively canvass for the of- ice. Pheasants Unafraid, At the southern border of the farm of E. M. Wheaton. near White's cross- ing, but at a point where the trolley } line passes through, a flock of seven pheasants prove a source of daily ad- miration for passengers on the electric cars. The game birds have become accustomed to the cars and no longer fly, as a general rule, when one passes. Is Dr. Larue on Library Board? There was discussion here Wednes- day as to whether or not Dr. Omer Larue can claim membership on the board of library directors of Putnam by reason of the fact that he received | the largest vote of any of the demo- | cratic candidates for such an office and through the fact that one of the republican candidates, George W. Holt, died before election, though his name was on the ticket. The board has no minority representation, being made up of members of ome party. It is on this point that the disqussion hinges. It is not known that Dr. La- rue desires to seek membersnip on the board, but the gquestion raised is an interesting omne. Took Out Hunters’ Licenses, Putnam hunters went out into the | drizzle of Wednesday so anxious were they to try their luck at bagging game on the first day of the open season. They met with some success, but the | majority of them look for-the best hunting later in the month.

The proposition to have one session at the high school instead of two, as at present, is being boomed by the | students and the teachers, and there is a great deal of interest as to the town school committee’s decision on the matter, which decision is expected to be made at the special meeting this (Thursday) evening. The school rule formerly provided for one session and when it was changed there was con- | siderable objection, though there were | many parents of children in favor of | the two session plan. under which the | children were able to get home for dinner.
