Purvis spent Thanksgiving with Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Cone of Canterbury NO EXODUS OF IRISHMEN TO ESCAPE CONSCRIPTION. Irish Emigration Figures for Month of October Disprove Stories. Dublin, Ireland, Nov. 26.—The Irish emigration returns for the month of October contradict the stories as to the “great exodus” of Irishmen to the United States to escape conscription. The government official return shows that in the month. just passed 1,008 men and 701 women emigrated from Ireland to all parts of the world. The figures for the same month last year were 1,399 men and 932 women. There is thus' a decrease in emigration for the month of 396 men and 231 women. The record is very similar if the whole ten months of this year is compared with the same months last year. Last year the total emigration from Ireland to all parts of tie world in the ten months was 10,095 men and 9,654 wom- en. This year it has fallen to 5,662 men and 3,684 women. The official figures also contradict the story that the passages of the “fying siackers” were paid for by erman gold” sent over from Ameri- ca. One thousand, one hundred sixty- five of the 1,704 emigrants in October went to the Unit=d States, and of these the passages of only 77 were prepaid from the United States, in accordance with the old practice by which Irish emigrants who have settled in the United States send home the passage money of friends and relatives they have left behind. For the ten months of this year of 5,818 emigrants to the United States 505 had their passages prepaid. Last year in the same ten months out of 14,714 who went to the United States 3,619 had their passages Ppaid for them. It is true, however, that the desire to avoid entering the army has been added to the other causes of emigra- tion. The methods of recruiting adopt- ed in some districts, especially in the west of Ireland, before the busin was taken over by a responsible de- partment under 1he control of the lord lieutenant, were often very ill-judged, and irritated instead of conciliating the Deople. Threats instead of persuasion were sometimes used, and the people were told that if they did not come willingly they would be “taken by the scruff of the neck” and forced in under conscription. Shortiy following upon these threats came the invitation of the lord lieutenant, distributed by cir cular to almost every house in every parish in Ireland. Thoush it was pure- ly voluntary, the people in some cases jumped to the erroneous conclusion that here at last was the fulfillment of the threat. Wounded soldiers had re- turned to many districts, and when the tales were told of the severities of the fighting, especially at Suvla Bay, moth- ers were frightened for their sons, and one old woman sold her cow to pay the passage of her boy to America. The declarations of the Irish party against conscription, and th aseur- ances of Its leaders in public speeches that it will never be applied to Ire- land, were accepted, however, by the sreat bulk of the people, and though 1,003 men left Ireland for all parts of the world as emigrants in the month of October, the recruiting in the same months was four or five times that number. CRIMINAL CAREER OF "AN AGED ENGLISHMAN. Has Spent 37 Years in Jail—Now at 73 Gets 12 Months.

Searls of Putnam, that as only points of law were invéived outside of differ- ences of opinion on certain minor con- siderations. that the court take the pa- pers in the case and allow eounsel to file briefs. This was what was finally done, the briefs to be in before December §, but in the meauntime it was found neces- sary to take some evidence from Se- lectmen Oliver A. Downs and Fred A.

Judge Bill in the preliminary con- sideration of the case made the point that the surety company, which is on Mr. Eastment’s bond as treasurer of the town prefers that deposits of the town of Brooklyn be kept in the Wind- ham County National bank. Judge Bill also stated to the court that & note was made at the Windham Coun- ty National bank for a renewal of the loan of $10,000 to the town of Brook- lyn at the rate of four per cent., in- stead of five per cent., as was carried by the note that came due on Mor day, Nov. 15, and which is still overdue and unpaid ‘on account of the differences between the officials of the town, the selectmen desiring that the loan be made from the Danielson Trust com- pany, which alss ngreed to offer it at four per cent., but that First Select- man Oliver ¥.

No trace of the young man had been found during Friday. ) Memorandum Filed in Bugbee Appeal . Case. Judge Gardiner Greene has filed a memorandum with the clerk of the superfor court in the matter of Eilen M. Bugbee's appeal from the board of relief of the town of Putnam, which case was tried recently in the su- perior court at Willimantic.~ The pellant appealed from the doings of the assessors of this town and the bcard of relief, claiming the assessors had unduly raised the valuation of the Put- nam Inn property, which Mrs. Bugbee owned before it passed into the hands of Landlord Earl C. Rogers. The board of relief gave Mrs. Bug- bee no reduction from the valuation placed on the property by the board of assessors. The town claimed she had failed to comply with the statute stating _under what circumstances boards may reduce lists. It was necessary for the appellant in order td have the board consider the question as to whether the vai- uation of her property. should be re- duced, to make a bona fide offer of a personal- appearance for examination at the time and place of meeting of the board. This Mrs. Bugbee did not do and could not do no account of lliness at the time, but a member of ito consider holiday buying. The time for Christmas buying is here.
