MARTIN AWARDED $4,500 Verdict in Railroad Injusy Case Just Three Years After Accident. e . Almost three years to an hour from the time when Frank St. Martin of this city was injured by a collision on the Air line road, just outside this city, on the evening of November 30, 1912, he received a verdict in the superior court for $4,500 for damages occasioned by the injuries received at that time. The case was tried twice, sent down for a new trial after the raiflroad had taken an appeal from the first de- cision, on the ground that the judge erred in allowing evidence of the men- tal anguish of the plaintiff occasioned by the thought of his wife and her sufferings. With this item or element of damage stricken out, St. Martin received five hundred dollars more than at the first trial, which took place Central Falls, N. Y., who died in Bos- ton, Saturday, at the age of 74, was held in Boston Tuesday morning. ial was in the family plot in Abln‘tml at 3 o'clock Tuesday ernoon.

Hinman of Windham road, and a nephew, Fred Williams of Cottage place. Nathaniel B. Roy: Nathaniel B. Royal, 73, prominent resident of Lebanon, died at his home there early Tuesday morning. He was a native of Waverly, New York, the son of Morris B. and Eunice (Hinman) Royall. SUPPORT UNITED CHARITIES. Town of Windham Votes to Continue— Majority for Resolution Was Large. About 100 residents of Willimantic attended the open meeting for the dis- cussion of the subject of the United Charities at the Board of Trade rooms Tuesday evening. President Fred D. Jordan called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock and turned the meeting over to Rev. Willlam S. Beard, chairman of the entertainment committee. To bring the matter before the meet- ing, Willlam C. Norris presented the following resolution: Resolved, That it is the sentiment of this meeting that the town of Wind- ham should continue its financial sup- port of the United Charities. President Explains. M. Eugene Lincoln, president of the United Charities association, was the first speaker, outlining the objects of the association and detailing its work. He said that as organized here the United Charities association has en- deavored to work with the town offi- cials in the investigating of every de- mand within the city limits, and ar- ranging for the distribution of wearing apparel and food supplies from the Valley street office. The most frequent criticism of the plan as now being car- ried out is that the first selectman is paid for this work, and should do it That criticism is made by most peo- ple without giving the matter much consideration, or a _meagre investiga- tion of actual conditions. The work in that line which was within the scope of a selectman 25 years ago, or even 10 years ago, is a thing of the past. In the last nine years the number of the outside poor assisted has mounted from 70 tq 214. Over three times, while the population is about one-fifth as great as the ratio of increase in the outside poor. In 1907 the outside poor cost the town $1,281, in 1914 it was $5,467, and in 1815, $5,705. Why has the cost of our outside poor so increased, while the almshouse has remained stationary, as regards inmates at least, although the expense per capita necessarily in- creased owing to_the higher cost of nearly everything? Just how much 1 am unable to determine, as permanent improvements are of such magnitude in the almshouse account. It seems to’| to the question of why there is such an increase in the outside poor aé- count, and that is the incomplete and unscientific way of handling the prob- lem. No selectman can do the work well, even should he devote all his time to it. It has become a duty which no ordinary man can do as ef- Iieclh'el)' as a trained person in that line. This part of the town's business should eventually be done by a per- manent charity commission, taken out of politics, or an arrangement such as has been in effect since February, 1915, continued. If the per capita cost for 1915 had kept up to that of 1913-1914, it would ‘have added over $2,400 to our outside poor account. I do not claim that all this saving is due to the investigation made by the charity organization, but I believe it is fair to claim that more was saved to the town than the $480 which the town contributed to charity association during that period for ser vices rendered—trained services in so- cial settlement work. Returning to the question of the ad- visability of the town's co-operating with the charity association, where the information regarding the assistance given by societies and individuals can be had, let me give you a few more Comgpound of Simple Laxa- tive Herbs Recommended for Constipation When a remedy has stood the test of critical analysis and strong’compe- tition for over a quarter of a century and establishes itself as the indispen- sable household remedy in thousands of homes, it is pretty good evidence of its efficacy. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been on the market since 1889, its use being gradually extended until now it is gen- erally regarded by druggists as the staple family laxative. It is a combin- ation of simple laxative herbs, free from oplates or narcotic drugs, gentle in its action and positive in effect. It costs only fifty cents a bottle and can where.

FRANK KLIMA Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup S [ i i i a always found on an up-to-date farm. Postoffice address, R. ¥. D., Baiti This Is Gas Heater Weather facts which I believe will convince you of the value and efficiency of the work done in. co-operation. Taking the part of each year from April 1 to Nov. 1, beginning with 1912, the amount expended for fuel, food and shoes is as follow 1912, $1,255.07; 1913, $1,434.68; 1914, $3,004.24; 1915, $1,057.27, the last period under the su. pervision of the charity assoclation, a difference of $1,946.97 in seven months, and less than any year for several years for the same period. It pwas also taking the time of a med and team from the almshouse largely. The outside poor now carry home their supplies when physically able. A little more food for reflection in the following comparative figures and i am through: In 1908 the town paid for drugs lnd physicians’ services $391.47; in they paid $3,253.75; in 1915 the Brat six months for physicians and drugs cost $2,895.32, and the last six months $358.43. The town paid physicians for services the first six months of thig year $2,666.95, and $300 for the last six months of this vear. Our hospital expenses, which are not included in the statement above, are as follows: Beginning with the year 1808, the town paid $726.75 to St. Jo- seph’s h ital, of which $500 was an appropriation made for the considera- tion that charity patients from the town would be cared for at $3 per week. From the modest sum of $726.75 the amount gradually increased until the town paid St. Joseph's hospital $3,398. With the bills for patients in asylums and sanatoriums amounting to over 36,000 yearly, the management of the almshouse, the care of the roads, seeing to the collections for state pau- pers, and various other matters, we have plenty for our first selectman to do without asking him to do social settlement work, even though he be capable of doing it. Miss Nancy Austin, secretary of the United Charities association, was the next speaker. Miss Austin detailed the. work of the past six months. Flour, oatmeal, rice, prunes and other articles are being given to the families from the groceries kept at the rooms in bulk. Twenty-eight families wert being helped by the town six months ago. Dr. C. E. Simonds, chairman of the committee in charge of the milk sta- tion, reported on the work of that branch of the organization, stating that the work done there could not be | over-estimated and giving an_inter- esting description of the methods pur- sued. Discussion by Citizens, This concluded the arrangement as planned by the committee in charge and Mr. Beard asked for a free dis- cussion and criticism ‘of the new plan | as_distinguished from the old. ! First Selectman E. P. Chesbro was called upon, stating hs would be only too glad to pay his proportionate share of taxes for a continuance of the town support. Miss Austin had been a great help to the selectman's office. He, however, was a servant of the town and wanted it known that he was ready to do what the people of the town wanted. Former Selectman R. E. Mitchell also spoke briefly, saying he was satisfied that the right way to handle charity work was as at present. Town Clerk Frank P. Fenton said he had been a little opposed to this movement. However he was a be- liever in united charity and he be- lieved the organization had done good work. The only question at issue with him was whether the town should give financial aid to a private organization. Willilam C. Norris said the reason for a united association was that the town was not large enough for buth private and public organizations and the private organization already exist- ed. For this reason a union of both was the form chosen. Dr. Louis I. Mason spoke of the splendid work done in aid of the “babies.” M. E. Sullivan said he agreed with Mr. Fenton. He could see no legal right in the town to give an appro- priation to private organization. The question of St. Joseph’s hospital was raised, they receiving an appro- priation from the town each year. M. E. Lincoln sald he considered either appropriation legal, as the money was expended in return for a cotuldem- tion. The question on the resolution was called for, and the motion carried by a large majority, although quite a number did not vote. Adjournement was taken 10 o'clock. at Brief Mention.
