Dennis was forcibly efects ed from the church when ho persisted in presiding at & business meeting which the deacons of the church had called, Among those who testified were Am- brose H. Wilson, Miss Fanny Jackson, Mrs. J, H. Dennis, Miss Sarah Strong, Rev. J. H. Dennis, the pastor, Frank 8. Lacy, Police Sergt. John H. Kane and Supernumerary John Donovan. The trial of the case took up the whole morning in the city court. n his testimony Rev. J. H. Dennis said he attefided the meetin® and took off his coat in the amen cormer. At first there was talk about waiting gfor Willimantic people, but they did not arrive. The minister told of Thomas Spivery addressing the meeting and speaking of the reflection that had been cast upon the deacons. The min- ister spoke of the charges against him and he stood ready to meet them in a legal way, but the meeting jeered at this_remark. Mr. Spivery said he wanted his son William to preside and the latter went to the platform and took a chair, but the minister said he did not relinquish his chair and declared he would pre- side at the meeting according to the laws of the church. Rev. Dennis d he saw an opem knife in the hands of William Spivery. Rey. Mr. Dennis cried out in alarm and he stood up on a chair and held up his cane. Witness stated that James Greene, Frank and James S. Lacy and others dragged the minister out and into the street. Rév. Mr. Den- nis said he was kicked when down. The pastor said the trouble arose over the fact that there was a man at the meeting named Thompson, who was to be placed in charge Of the church. Rev. Mr. Dennis said he was willing to leave the church, but only in the regular way and he was not willing to be pugged onto the sidewalk and his character destroyed. He tes- tified that the object of the meeting was to pay off the pastor and put Mr. Thompson in the pulpit. The minister claimed he had a right to preside at all meetings. According to his testimonv Sergt. John Kane said he and Policeman Don- ovan went into the church after 8 o'clock. Tire front door was locked at first, but a woman named Wilson came out and the police went in as the woman said there was trouble in- side. When the police mot into the meeting the minister and Mr. Spivery were talking for peace. The police tried to make paace and in spite of all the officers could do the minister was dragged head first to the street. Chair- man Spivery told the officer he only used his knife to pound for order. Policeman Donovan told of hearing the minister shouting he was chair- man and later he saw the minister going through the church door on his back. Frank S. Lacy testified that he took hold of the minister near the door to save him as the people were over him and Mr. Lag was trying to aid the fallen man, as he was kicking and the people were about him. Witness de- nied he said he would kill the minis- ter. The" latter ought to be glad he dragged him out. After hearing the testimony Judge J. H. Barnes ordered the ve accused o pay actual costs. The next case was that of the state vs. H. Douglass McKnight, accused of calling Miss Charlotte Jackson vile names at the church meeting. Miss Jackson, Mary F. Lacy, Blanche Jackson, Lucille Jackson and Mr: Jackson. mother of Charlotte Jackson, all_testified against the accused. Judge Barnes fined MdKnight}'$3 and costs. £ The case against Minnie Cole, who is said to have circulated a. letter that has caused the trouble at the church, went”over to Feb. 5 and bonds were placed at $200. Joseph Quinn was sentenced to the Connecticut School for Boys and he was taken there by Sheriff Stanton. FUNERALS. Josephine Witter Hollowell. Funeral services for Miss Josephine Witter Hollowell were held on Mon- day afternoon at 1 o'clock from her late home at Preston City, where the house was fllled with relatives and friends who had come to pay their last tribute of respect for one who had been generally loved and esteemed in that community.

From 100 Years Back. I am going to begin at the beginning of woman suftrage, sald Mrs. Hale, and g0 back a hundred years. When we look at woman suffrage we mustn't loot at it as an isolated phenomenon, she continued. 'We must understand that woman suffrage is only part of the woman's movement as a whole and the wonian's movement is democracy. ‘What do we mean by equality? Don’t we mean equality of opportunity? There isn't a place in the world where there is equality of oportunity, but here in this country we do believe in it. Men ought to be the last to oppose the woman’s movement, because the women are only following the lead that men gave them. The reason men in Revolutionary times valued freedom o highly was because they had to work for it. It has taken women 100 years to lift them- selves to a.position where they can say they have earned their share of democracy. Women were practically in the position of serfs a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago prac- tically all women were married by the age of 21. Why was this? Because there weren't enough women to go round, there never is in a new coun- ry, therefore they married voung be- caise they were sought after. The second reason why women married voung was because it paid a man to have a woman in the house. Because all women were economic assets in the life of the community. Trom the earliest cave days until man_invented machinery, men were for the ficht and the chase. Women were the first manufacturers and the first agriculturalists. One hundred years ago when you were talking of adult women you were talking of married women. What was the sta- tus of the married woman of that time, according to custom and law? What She Didn’t Own. First of all, she dldn’t own her per- son. Her husband was her owner. Sec- ondly, she didn't own her children. The father was the one legal guardian. Thirdly, she didn't own her heritages. Her husband was the owner of her es- tatee and money and could collect her rents. Fourthly, she didn't own her wages, and savings. These were the property of her husband. Finally, she couldn't .enter into business, because her signature was not worth the pa- per it was written upon unless it was endorsed by her owner, her husband. However, she Lad one advantage. She was not supposed to be familiar with the law. Her husband was liable for arrest and fine for her misdeeds. As lio in any n'ut ofl ty. e second was th- invention ot machinery. - This divided women into two classes—those who were sup- ted at home by thelr husbands or ithers and the women who had to go out and work for a llvlnL ‘The women in industry, 8,000,000 in this country, found themselves working for total strazgere, With all the advantages and machinery brought to un world, these two great inventions did alter the position of woman. Equality of Opportunity. The women asked that they might they asked for equality of opportunity for the higher educa- tion of women. This was the first step of the woman’s movement. When they asked for higher education, was it easy to get? It was not hat was the second stage of the woman's movement? These women who were educated had to make a liv- ing. They didn’t all want to teach, they didn’t all want to be underpaid companions of elderly women with pe- culiarities and parrots. They asked for equality of opportunity to make & lving. ‘What was the third stage of the woman's movement? It was the de- mand for equality of status in the home, as between husband and wife. They demanded the married woman's act and the equal guardianship law. Her One Prophecy. As her one prophecy Mrs. Hale said: We will have no anti-suffrage body, elther of men or women, in the state of Connecticut after women get the vote, for the antis will be then assured that the home is not in danger and they will g0 on arm in arm to defend the home against some new Innovation. We don't argue with our enti friend: endorse them, for they advertise our cause. They look to the precedent, we 100k to the future. They are inter- ested in being descendants, we are ine terested in being ancestors. ‘Women are not asking for the vote in order that they may interfere with man’s work, but that they may increase the efficlency of their own work. Man's work is the creation and con- summation of wealth. Woman's work is the creation of life itself. Mrs. Hale then quoted statistics which showed that in the countries where women have public responsibilities they do not meglect their private re- sponsibilities in the home. It is only Dby being given responsibility that you learn how to use it, she said. There isn't a woman’s trade organ- ization in_the country that opposes woman suffrage. The women Who 0p- pose woman suffrage as a burden thrust upon their unwilling shoulders are the women who have never borne a burden in their lives. In conclusion, Mrs. Hale sald we believe that women have now earned the right to vote. We don't think that when woman gets the vote she will suddenly make life perfect, but we do believe she will help. ‘After her address Mrs. Hale invited questions_from those in the audience. A liberal contribution was then taken up by the young lady ushers. Miss Catherine Brown acted as head usher. NOTHING TO TELL. School Board Still Workmg on Quee- tion of Medical Inspection. The town school committee and the selectmen, with the town counsel, H. H. Pettls, held another conference on Tuesday afternoon in Superintendent Graham’s office upon the question of medical inspection in the schools. Pres- ident Charles O. Murphy was in the chair. All the members of both boards were present and were in session about two hours, but at the close Secretary H. M. Lerou of the school board stated that they were not prepared to give any public statement of what plan they had been discussing or what solution they had in mind of the question of medical inspection. The school committee had a meeting also on Monday evening at which they discussed medical inspection. Shad Fry Coming from California. The state commission on fisheries and game discussed on Tuesday the matter of conveying across the con- tinent the 10,000,000 shad fry which the fish and game commissioner of Cali- fornia has offered to furnish this state. The federal government will furnish a special car for the transportation of the fish, and Superintendent John M. Crampton was empowered to take the necessary steps for their distribu- tion on their arrival here. It is ex- pected that the fry will reach Con- necticut early next March.

L. says of the late Dr. Dwight Tracy whose death occurred in_this city on October 3, 1915: The writer had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago, only once, when he was nearing 80. His genealogical life-work, he said, was done, as he had collected everything valuable as to the Tracy fomily for centuries. The Tracy line is very ancient in Western England. He was a genial whole-souled gentleman of the old school, handsome, dignified, urbane. He was a type of the old- school genealogist who had done his work and was retiring on his laurels; may the number never grow less. Tt wes a great pleasure to meet one of that type, at first hand, and for the first time. Nowadays, we gen- ealogists do not consider ' our work is ever done, as it is always “a thin of shreds and patches,” which are never finished or fixed together i a firm fabric. If we could only fin- ish something that would never be gainsaid or discarded, disrupted or found vague and ‘misleading, how proug we would all be! But to be called to the other shore with work incomplete, ana. learn then for the first time thaf there were errors in it, would be worse than death! AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. At the Auditorium theatre the week was opened on Monday with three first class vaudeville numbers that in- cluded a_comedy singing and dancing skit by Kelly and Bers, an attractive piano specialty by Walters & Sherman and a comedy sketch, with special scenery, presented by Bob Hart and company. The feature Paramount film was The Explorer, in five parts, and the cast included James Neill, Dorothy Daven- port, Horace B. Carpenter, Tom For- man and others. The comedy film was Lady Baffles and Detective Duck, a Powers production. The audiences at all performances were of large size and the bill was received with en- thusiasm. OBITUARY. John J. Fay. John J. Fay died Monday morning in the Worcester Mass. City Hospital. He leaves his widow Winifred Neil- and Fay, a dausghter, Miss Mary B, Fay, and a sister, Miss Annie Fay of Norwich, Willimantic Veterinarian, Hartford, Conn., Jan. 1—At the an- nual meeting of the Conn. Veterinary Medical association here today the fol- officers were elected: President, Dr. G. K. Corwin, of Canaan; vice presidents, Dr. G. L. Cheney, New Ha- ven; Dr. F. D. Monell, secre- tary, Dr. A.

There were alt gether too many neglected wild apple and wild cherry troes in the hedge rows and along the roadside which served a2 bresding places for the pest Such trees shoufd e removed or given care, The' boat way would be tobrash off the nests as soon as they are large enough in May to be seen. The apple meggot was unusually abundant and attacked both the early and the late apples. Dr. Britton sald the fruit tree leaf roller should be held in check by a lime sulphur spray thoroughly applied fust befors the leat buds open, as for Jose scale. The report sald that red bugs seemed to be on th eincrease. Dr. Britton mentioned an unusual form of injury to peace trees, a small brown beetle, which ate the new leaves and entirely stripped 1,000 trees in Wallingford. In some portlons of the state both apple and peach borers did more damage than usual. The Jose scalé, HOW ESKIMO WOM! INFLUENCE THE FASHION he said, is seemingly on the decline, chiefly on account of being parasitized by the small Chalcid fly. For the strawberry flea beetles Dr. Britton ad- vised thorough poisoning of the leaves as soon as the beetles began to feed. There was but little further spread of the browntall moth in 1914—only Wethersfleld, Newington and New Britain being found infested outside of the quarantined area. The scouting for the spread of the insect in 1915 had not been completed. Suppression work for the gypsy moth was carried on during the past sum- mer, the state and federal forces co- operating. A force of men worked until after the caterpillar season was over. 1In 20 towns 305 infestations viere found. Report on Fungous Diseases. Dr. George P. Clinton in his report on fungous diseases sald the growing season of 1915 had peculiar conditions which affected growing crops favor- ably or unfavorably and likewise de- termined thé enemies that attacked them. The past season, with its cool, dry spring and its cool, wet summer, until the middle of August, seemed to be rather unfavorable for normal or luxuriant plant growth. The drier and warmer late summer and fall, with the absence of frost until very late, offset to a greater or less degree the earlier unfavorable periods. As a result some crops were unusually abundant with resulting low prices. Others were be- low the average in yield or quality, while still others, such as patotoes, produced a fairly large early crop at a fair price and a poor late crop at a good price. Dr. Clinfon said there was no com- plaint of a poor crop of peaches of the early varieties in the matter of yield. There was a great deal of rot and scab. Mention was made in the report of canker following the brown rot and Dr. Clinton said he observed such cankers last vear first time in this state. Apple scab was not unusually bad the past season. Sooty blotch was unusually abundant, due to the moist summer weather. The importance of dry cool storage and an open pack for the prevention of the scald of apples was emphasized by Dr. Clinton. Dr. Clinton epoke of the blister rust of white pine, which has been found on a considerable num- ber of white pines imported from Eu- rope. The importation of pines sus- ceptible to rust had been stopped by the federal horticultural board. E. M. Stoddard of New Haven gave an address on Some Results of Orch- ard Work at Connecticut Experiment Stations, illustrated with lantern slides. Prof. M. A. Blake of New Jersey spoke on Problems of the Year in-Peach Growing and Marketing. In the evening session there were historical addresses on Twenty-five Years of Connecticut Pomology by S. Platt, J. H. Hale of Glastonbury and 3. N. Barnes of Wallingford. AT THE DAVIS, in America. Bubbling over with pretty girls in tableaux, ballet features, song num- bers, chorus marches and the novelty feature in the runway that extended down over the seats in the center of the orchestra, the New York Winter Garden’s largest production, Maid in America, played at the Davis theatre % |on Tuesday evening before a more than capacity house. Florence Moore headed the company and had the audience ready to acknow- ledge from start to finish that they had rarely seen her equal as a come- dienne. The special scenic effects fol- lowed one after another in splendid profusion throughout the two acts and twelve scenes through which the Win- ter Garden beauties reigned with face and figure and voice and costuming. The audience liked = runway fe: ture, especially in the song I'm Look- ing for Someone’s Heart, with Miss Moore, Miss Louise Mink and _the chorus, whom they kept trotting back and forth along the runway time after time in response to encores. It was one of the most elaborate scenic pro- ductions that the theatre has seen.

SERV.US MINCE MEAT Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and currants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factorles in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best flavored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house- wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, resardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince ple. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same.corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat.
