DIVORCES FOR DESERTED WIVES [BABY HAS CROUP Granted by Judge Raed—Dorilda Newman’s Husband Join- ed the Army a Few Weeks After Wedding—Lottie H. Thurston Was Deserted Divorce Denied. Desertion was the grounds upon which two divorce suits on the uncon- tested iist were granted by Judge Joel H. Reed at the short calendar session of the superior court in New London Friday morning. Dorlida Newman of New London was given a divorce from Benjamin Wwman, now of parts unknown, and she was’ given permission to resume her maiden name of Bergeron. They were married on July 6, 1906, at Fail River, and he deserted her, she testi- fied, on June 1, 1910. She gave her age as 16 when she was married and that of her husband as 19. There are no_children. She testified that they lived together several weeks after their marriage and then he enlisted in the army. After his discharge_ four years later, he re- turned to her and she lived with him five months in New London. She fur- nished a home with her own money, but at the expiration of five months he 0ld the furniture and she went to live with her grandmother, where he joined her and ifved with her for two weeks. Then he told her he had a position in Norwich and took her there. In Norwich he compelled her to go Into a house of ill repute, telling her she must _earn money to give him. She stayed there one night and then he came for her and made her go into a house of a similar character in Brad- ——— in Three Months—Paracenti ley street, New London. He visited her on one occasion there and then he Jeft the city and she has not seen him sgince. Married Life Was Short. Lottie H. Thurston of New London was allowed to resume her maiden name of Lottie M. Huntley when she was granted_a divorce from James Thurstun of New London. They were married on April 20, 1908, in Williman- tic, and he deserted her on swy 1 une same. year. she charged. In the complaint there were also ai- legations of her husband’s unfaithful- ness to his marriage vows, beginning four days after the wedding and con- tinuing to Oct. 4, 1913 Dbut these charges were not pressed before the court. She testified that her husband lived with her until July 7, 1908, when she went to New York to accept a position in a-moving picture show at the insti- gation of her husband. She did not see him for five years after that and his whereaoouts were unknown until he was located in New London living with another woman. Denied Paracenti Petition. Judge Reed has denied the petition for divorce which Mrs. Johanna Para- centi of this city brought against John Paracenti of New York. She charged adultery and desertion. REPORT FROM CATHOLIC MISSIONARY CONGRESS Made to White Cross Council by Delegate, Joseph T. Fanning. Its White Cross "council, No. 13, K. of C., heid a well attended meeting in the council room in Pythian hall Friday Ehi A epecial meeting was held at 7.30 for the reception of applications. During the regular meetine that fol- lowed the first degree was conferred on a class of 17 candidates. Announce- ment was made that the second degree wouid be conferred upon a class of 30 members that are eligible for the de- gree. Following the exemplification of the degree, the meeting was taken in charge by the lecturer of the council, M. J. Coscoran, who introduced Joseph T. Fanning to give his impressions of the American Catholic missionary con- gress recently held in Hoston, at which he_represented the council. Mr. Fanning dwelt at some length upon the importance of the Calnolic missionary work as carried on by the church. He stated that in recent vears it had become the practice of the church to try and effect a better organ- ization of the several bodies engaged in this work. In 1905 a distinctive Catholic organization was formed, known as the Church Extension socie- ty, to care particularly for the needs of the members of the church in this eountry, reaching out into the isolated sections of the country, and providing churches and priests for thosc who would not otherwise have an oppor- tunity to practice the duties of their religion. He spoke of the great work that was being done in China by Cath- olic missionaries in caring for neglect- ed children. These few incidents were related simply to illustrate some of the forms of missionary work now be- fng undertaken by the church. The object of the congress was to try and unify the work of the several organ- izations engaged in this work. At the Boston congress, which was attended by archbishops, bishops, priests and eminent laymen from all over the world, it was decided to consolidate all the missionary bodies under one head, upon a plan now in process of evoiu- tion. 1t was stated that in 1800 there were 26.000 Catholics in the United States; today there are about 30,000,000 Catho lics. As it is estimated thaf about 35 000,000 in this country profess some religion, it may te seen that the pro- feesing Catholica outnumber the mem- ers of all other religious creeds. Mr. Fanning’s remarks were ziven the closest attention throughout and proved most interesting and instruc- tive to the members. AT DAVIS THEATER. Vaudeville and Photoplays. Five vaudeville acts that are all gingery and full of entertainment were shown on the bill at the Davis theater for the latter part of the week, com- bined with a selection of photoplays that made the bill one of merit. The La Duc Sisters in sensational gymnastic acts were rema.'-ably clev- | er in their line, and do their thrilling turns with an ease and sureness that makes the most difficult look simple. Fred Martine is a comedian mono- loguist who combines some acrobatic | work in his act, while Tove and Les- lie are a duo of young men who rattle off a fire of jokes in song and dia- logue. Tn kis Scotch kilts, Scottie with his violin gives a varied programme of entertainment from the land of the thistle, and the bill closes with the comedy cyclists. The Revnards. who work with all kinds of wheels in their lively act, and get the house.

Slocum and Fraulein Such Appear in Charming Programme: One of the most successful charming entertainments ever given by the Norwich Town Rural associa- tion was that of Friday evening, which included readings by Mrs. Joel B. Slo- and cum, piano solos by Fraulein Such and the sketch by the secretary, Miss Sarah McClennan, at the chapel of the Congregational church was filled by a v appreciative audience. Pres- ident Latham was in charge of the programme, which had been prepared bv Miss Helen M. Lathrop, assisted by Miss Mary Wattles. Mrs, Slocum gave as her first selection a realistic scene from Dickens’ Oliver Twist, entitled Mr. Bumble’s Courtship. This put her in complete favor with her audience and as an_ encore she gave James Whitcomb Ril Over the Riv Through the Woods. Her second num- ber was a musical one in two parts, My Ships, and In May. In these she was accompanied by Miss Ruth Pot- ter on the piano. As an encore she gave Luck. With no apparent effort Mrs. \Slocum_put herself in the place of many different characters so that one could see and hear each one in his or her own life speech and en- vironment. Fraulein Such’s first number by Grieg was given with a sure touch and charm which brought out insist- ent applause so that she responded with one of MacDowell's selections. In Schubert'’s Senerade the beautiful points were brought out with skill and as an encore she rendered the Shadow Dance. In Chopin’s Fantasle Im- promptu her execution was brilliant and the encore, Grieg's Bridal Pro- cession was most pleasing. During the evening President La- tham gave the notice of the meeting to be held today (Saturday) in the town hall by the Business Men's as- sociation, the purpose being to form a permanent organization for improv- ing the conditions in New London county, 9 r and DISTRIBUTING HIS WEALTH BEFORE HIS DEATH. Cyril Johnson, Staffords Springs Man- ufacturer, Making Gifts to Relatives. Milton I. Smith of Willimantic is about to benefit by the considerate- ness of his uncle, Cyril Johnson of Stafford Springs, the retired manufac- turer. It seems that Mr. Johnson has started to distribute some of his wealth to relatives and friends rather than wait until death and do it by will. To Milton L. Smith has been presented a rtificate of 50 shares in the United ction and Electric company, par value of $100, which draws interest at five per cent. Mr. Smith says that he will ‘use the money to go into Business Iater. Cyril Johnson is widely known for benevolences in Stafford Spring: especially in connection with the hos pital there, and has been a wealthy woolen mill owner there for years. The Stafford public libral was a gift from Mrs. Johnson. MADE INSPECTION VISIT TO WOLCOTT COUNCIL. Bidwell Visited Council in Hartford. E.

Few if any flls of babyhood cause more family alarm than croup, and rightfully so, for if sure and effective relief is not promptly given the life of the little one is endangered. At the first symptoms of croup use Hyomei. It is a simple treatment, ab- solutely harmlese—no stomach dosing —simply breathe it. Hyomei is easy to use—fjust put a few drops on & handkerchief or flannel and hold to the child’s nose. It will then breathe in the balsamic and health-restoring fumes. If the case is very severe give the vapor treatment—30 drops of Hyomei poured into a teacup three- quarters full of boiling water. Hold the cup close to the nostrils. Some of the severest cases have been cured by this method in a few minutes. No household should be without Hy- omei—it is not only a quick and ef- fective relief for croup of children, but is one of the simplest, surest and easiest treatments for cold in the head, bronchitis, laryngitis, or any catarrhal ill of grown-ups. Air laden with Hyomei soothes, heals and vitalizes the sore, raw and inflamed mucous membrane of. the breathing organs almost immediately.
