Desertion the Cause Shewn Before Judge Shumwa At the short calendar session of the superior court here Friday morning Judge Milton A. Shumway granted three diverces, all of which were un- ‘contested. 3 Joseph B. Pendieton was granted a divorce from Rebecca L. Pendleton on the ground of desertion. Both reside in Preston.

They lived together only elght weeks, after which she left: him and she went to live with her mother. Entertained Philathea Class.

Walter Phillips, For eéach office but one nomination was before the caucus for a vote and each one nominated was elected to a place on the ticket. After the ticket was completed the remainder of the 45 minutes which the caucus occupied was devoted largely to a vigorous attack on the republican party. Town Committee Chairman Wood- bury O. Rogers called the caucus to order at 8 o'clock and H. F. Palmer nominated William T. Lane for chairs man, Chairman Took a Count. zHe was elected and took the chair, congratulating the meeting on the number present and paused a minute while he counted them. He announced that he made it 21 and sald he understood there were 64 votes cast at the republican caucus, so that he further congratulated the progressive caucus on this comparison. Dr, R. R. Kinkead was elected clerk of the caucus on motion of Edgar H. Allen, Nominated for Mayor. Zebulon R. Robbins made the nom- ination for mavor in the person of Gilbert L. Hewitt. Fqr Aldermen. H. F. Palmer nominated for first al- derman Bdgar H. Allen, who he said had honored every position he had occupied in life. Mr. Allen nominated Zebulon R.

Rev, L. W, Frink nominated B. Wal- ter Phillips for water commissioner, whe, he said, was known for his in- tegrity and uprightness, Chairman Lane invited any who had not registered to put their names on the blanks. Opened on the Republica The chairman ijntroduced H. R. Branche of the state central commit- tee to speak to the caucus. Mr. Branche referred in an amusing way to an anecdote that he called ancient, that had been used in the republican caucus and read the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the state central committse meeting, ceclaring against any amalgamation with the republicans or any other party and charging that the republicans were in a hopeless situation, unable to win without the progressives and unable to survive long without winning. Th resolutions also_ criticised the repub- licans for squabbling in the legisla- ture over political plums regardless of platform pledges. The resolutions called for a state conference of th progressives in Hartford in June, al which it is hoped Theodore Roosevelt will be present. Mr. Branche also read letters from John W. McGrath in Chicago showing encouraging conditions in the west. In Connecticut Mr. Branche predict- ed that the progressive cause would be showing increasing strength in the next six months and there was no reason to feel that it was losing any ground, but rather gaining. Rev. L. 'W. Frink was called upon and responded in an interesting strain, saying that he was glad*he cast in his fortunes with the new party. The G. O. P. had been raised, he thought, for a purpose, but it had outlived its usefulness and should some time ago have had a decent burial. Mr. Frink sald that it had been thrown into his face that the progres- sives had given the city over to ‘the democrats, but it was not so. He de- clared he had it on good authority that overtures had been made by the progressives to the republican town committee to have the two parties put up a ticket which both would ratify, but the republican town committee had refused to do so. H. Allen arose to clarify th impression given by the last apeaker's remarks said he wanted it under- 3 bad stood responded r. Frink, “but this makes it Z, R. Robbins Speaks. Mr. Robbins was called upon and ' said he was s ised to hear anyone making a statément that the progrea sives had turned the city and state over to the democrats. e D! state and it had been the republicans who turned it over to them. The republi- cans needed an excuse, but the best excuse they could make would be to commit suicide and bury themselves in Chicago. H. F. Palmer when called uj in praise of the character of the men who had been put on the ticket. He felt great encouragement from the in formation that had been gained at thi; meeting and he looked forward to a go6d and substantial growth by 1916. It is up to the party now to stand by its colors. The caucus adjourned at 8.45 o'clock, Not Acceptable to Republicans. It has been understood that the ticket suggested to the republicans by the progressives was to be headed by Mr. Hewitt, and this choice would not be accepted by the republicans, who held their caucus last Wednesday evening. n spoke PSS S S PROF.

WEAR WHITE CARNATION ON MOTHER’S DAY. Sunday the Date for Annual Observ- ance in Honor of Mother. Sunday will be observed throughout the nation, in churches and by other organizations, as Mother's day. Tsis is an annual observance which comes on the second Sunday in May. The Mother’s day movement was started in 7908 in Philadelphia by Miss Anna Jarvis, a King's Daughter, but it was not until 1908 that it gained general recognition _throughout the country. It came about through the death of her mother, and because of her mother's preference for the carna- tion that flower was chosen as the day’s symbol. She conceived the idea of endearing motherhood and mothers by a special observence of the day, and putting forth this idea, she sug- gested that everyone wear a white carnation or other white flower as an emblem of the purpose to which the day is consecrated. It was her idea that the wearing of the white flower, an emblem of truth and purity, would evidence the wearer's love and honor for his mother. CLUB NIGHT.

The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Teachers’ sociation was held Friday in New London and Willimantic. The same programme was given in each place by' having the speakers at one place in | the morning and the other place in the afternoon. The sessions in Wllliman- | tic were attended by about 200 and were held in the assembly room of the state Normal school building. Those in New London were in the Nathan Hale grammar school and had about 300 attending. At the morning business meeting at New London the following officers l were elected: A. Hanson, New London, Executive Committee—W. Stonington: Miss M. A. Skidmore, Willimantic; A. L. Young, Norwich. It was voted that next year meet- ings be heid at Norwich and Putnam following the same plan as this year. Pension Situation. In an address by Principal Charles L. Ames of the Brown school, Hart- ford, upon The Pension Situation and Outlook, he stated that Connecticut and New Hampshire were the only New England states which have not already adopted the system, that the scale of wages is too low, and that trained teachers go out of the state to teach preferably. The method ad- vocated by Mr, Ames was a direct payment by the state, and he said the prospects were bright for a pension law for teachers in this state, The Montessori System. Miss Clara E. Craig of the State Normal school at Providence, R. I, delivered the address upon The Mon- tessori Method, and her talk was exceedingly Interesting, as she is a student of this new and successful method of training children at first hand, having studied in Italy under Madame Montessorl. In brief, it is one of natural development of each separate child as an individual, with no system of rewards and punish- ments other than those which come from the pleasure of successful do- ing. The address was greatly enjoyed. Spelling Reform. Dr. F. H. Sykes, the president of the new Connecticut for Women in New London spoke upon the subject of “The Reform of English Spelling.* characterizing our spelling as “the rambling, ramshackle old edifice of | English spelling,” giving the history of simplified spelling in this country, and stating that its work shows progress toward simpicity and reason. He stated that it was almost entirely a matter of habit which made the new spelling look queer and disposed of those who cry out for etymology and keeping the old forms, by showing that we have not done so in innumer- able instance: To begin in the low- er grades with a simplified spelling would spare the child neediess diffi- | cuity, despair and discouragement. The new form would also be an economy | in printing and writing, and an aid to the assimilation of foreigners by mak- ing the language easier to learn. Inspecting Trolley Lines. The lines of the Connecticut com- pany are being inspected by Chiet Engineer and Inspector C. C. Elwell of the public utilities commission: A parlor car of the company contain- in the inspector and others was con- spicious on the lines in and about Hartford Friday. In the forenoon the car went to Rockville and Stafford Springs and returning went to Union ville. It is the annual tour of inspec. tion and will continue for some time until the lines in the state have been inspected. ANTI-CIGARETTE LESSON FOR L. T. L. COMPANY. Meeting of Company C Held at First Baptist Church. Company C, Loyal Temperance Le- gion, held a very interesting meeting Friday afternoon at the First Baptist church. Vice President Downer John- son presided and the meeting opened wit hthe singing of America. Mildred Lewis was appointed secretary pro tem in the absence of Secretary Helen Ly- man. The treasurer, Miriam Berg- stresser, gave a very encouraging re- port, considering this was only their third meeting. Last Sunday being anti-cigarette day, the leader, Mrs. Fields, took that ms the subject of the lesson. Bach child was given a quotation and the leader tried to impress upon their young minds the folly of cultivating a habit which unfits so many from be- coming useful and upright among their fellow men. To make the lesson more impressive the leader closed her remarks with an illustrative talk showing what the ciz- areite habit leads to and asking which will you-choose to do, have self con- troi, denial and sacrifice or let it mas- ter you and make you selfish, indolent and conceited. Several of the members have chosen Pleces to compete in a medal contest early in June. One new member join- e dthe society. The meeting closed with the Mizpah benediction and all were urged to re- member the next meeting, two weeks Friday. ——— e ON FORGERY CHARGE. Nathan Lawrence Arrested for Nor- wich Police.
