WOMAN'S COLLEGE DESCRIBED. Mrs. S. H. Williams Explains to Wom:'| an's Club and Guests Merits of New State Institution. At the meeting of the Willimantic Woman's club Tuesday afternoon Mrs. S. H. Williame delivered an instructive and comprehensive lecture on the Con- necticut Woman's college. Guests from Anne Wood Elderkin chapter, D. A. R., which has recently contributed $100 to the college fund, and young women from the Windham High school, with the club members, made up a good sized and appreciative audience. Mrs. Williams spoke briefly on Con- necticut’s need for a woman’s college, the history of the college, its incep- tion by the Hartford College club, and the personal efforts of Miss Blizabeth Wright, @ Wesleyan graduate, now registrar of the new college. Reasons for the choice of the college site were dwelt upon and its beauty and advantages shown in photograph and word picture. The speaker stated that the college would open in_the fail with two dormitories, Plant and Black- stone, and a science hall, splendidly equipped for science and conteining the administration and class rooms. The refectory which the institution had ex- pected to put up will be replaced by two houses already on the grounds. These houses are joined and form at CASTORIA For Infants and Children InUse For Over 30 Years Alv\z;ebaul Signature of M{ Spring Cleaning is the all important question for the housewife just now, and many changes are neces- sary — a new Carpet, some Curtains, a Chair, some Bed- room Furniture or a room to be Papered.

Dr. Sykes, the president, and his family have consented to live temporar: the other end building, while members of the faculty will have suites over the main dining hall. A plan showing the future appearance of the college was displayed. ‘The. architecture of the smaller buildinge will be domestic Tudor, and the larger ones assoclated collegiate Gothic. The college will confer: the degrees of B. A. and B. §. and its en- trance requirements are similar to those of all the leading colleges. The curriculum differs from others in that it offers a_ vocational course, to the need for which other universities and colleges are just waking up. The girle’ dormitories have rooms 10 by 14, hot and cold water, closet and two windows in each room. It is to be hoped oppor- tunities for a girl to help herself will be offered. A library fund is being raised, and scholarships are being founded all over the state. The regis- tration at present is 59, 37 of whom will be resident. Tweive girls will commute from Norwich, one from Fish- er's Island and one from Lyme. New York furnishes six applicants, Vermont one, Rhode Island one and Connecticut 29. There is one special student regis- tered. Mrs. Williams summed up the assets of the new college under three heads— an ideal site, a liberal endowment, and provision for a broad education, but stated that Connecticut and Connecti- cut women must be looked to for the buildings. The speaker was accorded a vote of thanks after the lecture. During the afternoon Mrs. George M. Graves sang Nevin’s "Twas April in excellent voice and responded to an encore with I Love You Truly, by Jacob-Bond. Luncheon was served at the close of the meeting to the club members and their guests. SUPERIOR COURT. Suit Over North Windham Pond— Oliver White of Danielson Pays $200 Fine—Jail for Edward Blay. Judge James H. Webb occupied the bench at a short session of the superior court held in this city Tuesday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Court was opened with prayer by Rev. Charles L. Adams of St. Paul's P. E. church. The first matter heard was the argu- ment of a demurrer by Attorneys Dan- ahey and Harvey in the case of Gio Batta Ognio vs. the Elm Farm Milk company. The plaintiffs are the own- ers of a right to take water from a pond on the north Windham road near Phelps Crossing, and the defendants have the right to cut ice from the pond. Last summer the defendants let the water out of the pond, in the process of rebuilding and repairing the dam, and this suit is brought to de- termine whether they had any right to so interfere with the prior right of the plaintiffs to take water. The de- fense claimed is that the work was ecessary to maintain the pond, and the defendants had been delegated the rights of the owner of the land to keep the dam in repair. Decision was re- served. Three accused persons were put to plea. The first was Oliver White, Jr., of Danielson, arraigned on the charge of assault with intent to kill a state DR. F. C.

Successful Contractor Known Through- out Eastern Connecticut for His Ability and Integrity. Jeremiah_O’Sullivan, one of the best known of Willimantic's citizens, died at his home, 78 Maple avenue, about 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Fibroid phthisis was the cause of death. Mr. O'Sullivan had been in poor health for some time and retired from active business as a contractor and builder some 18 months ago. About a week ago his condition became serious and ‘he was unable to get outdoors. His end was not unexpected. He was born March 17, 1850, in Colaris, County Kerry, Ireland, the son of Otho and Mary (Shannahan) O'Sul- livan. The family fortunes were de- pleted on account of religious troubles during the reign of King James and later the family migrated to this coun- try. Otho O’Sullican came to this country with his family in 1856, settling in New York, but soon moving to Jewett City. Jeremiah O'Sullivan went to work at the age of 13 and soon entered the employ of the Willimantic Linen company. Later he took up the trade of contracting and building, working under Chappell & Potter, and later forming the firm of Casey & O'Sulli- van. In 1877 he went into business for himself and continued until the fall of 1913, when he retired. Many important buildings in eastern Connecticut were built under Mr. O'Sullivan’s direction. The deceased was a director of the ‘Willimantic Building and Loan asso- ciaticn, a director of the Willimantic Savings institute, president of St. Vin- cent de Paul society, associate member of San Jose council, No. 14, K. of C., and of the local division of the A. O. H., a director and member of the ex- ecutive committee of St. Joseph's hos- pital, honorary member of the Putnam Phalanx and of the Montgomery Hose company. He was a man of fine busi- ness character and will be greatly missed in the community of which he has always been a most valued and honored member. ‘There survive the deceased his wife, formerly Mary A. Regan, two brothers, Daniel O'Sullivan of Tennessee and Otho O'Sullivan of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Ann Murphy, also of Wil- limantic, Taxpayers Prompt. About $80,000 out of $86,000 to be paid in to Tax Collector George A.

Miller of the Wind- ham High school faculty has resigned to take effect at the expiration of the current school year. This makes the second vacancy which will have to be filled for next year.

The funeral of Edward Racicot was held from St. Mary’s church Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Rev. J. J. Papil- lon officiated. There was special music by the choir, accompanied by Dr. W. P. S. Keating on the organ. A dele- gation from Willimantic lodge, No. STOMACH SUFFERER GETS PROMPT HELP Hartford Resident Gets Quick Relief From Use of Wonderful Remedy. Mrs. S. E.

At _the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade and Business ning, J. W, Gaffey of the W.

Taylor and John E. Buck were ap- pointed to draw up suitable resolutions concerning the death of Jeremiah O’Sullivan. The address given by Mr. Gaffey was highly interesting, showing the rise of telegraphy from the days of the smoke signals of the Indians to the auto- matic register of the present time, and the trans-oceanic cables. The present day method of wire transmission mes- sages was admirably expounded and the many uses to which the telegraph may be put well presented. At the close a rising vote of thanks was given to the speaker. Infant Daughter Dies.

It is understood that an appeal will be taken from the decision to the superior court. One-Gallon Test Run. It is expected that there will be a considerable number of entries in the one-gallon test run by local automo- bile owners this afternoon, if weather conditions are good.
