At the meeting of Thames council, No. 1851, in foresters’ hall on Wednes- day evening Henry P. Beausoleil, who was untable to attend the installat! ceremony on January 28, was installed as regent by Deputy Grand Regent Curry. One member was initiated in- to the council, and routine matters Wwere transacted. made to get the de UNFTED WORKMEN. Last Monday afternoon the annual meeting of the Masters' Asso- ciation of Conn was held at yramid hall, Ne ven. The work of the year was reviewed and reports of the doings of the year were read, which showed that the association is serving a very useful purpose in stimulating the lodges to renewed ac- tivity not only in fraternal but in so- clal ways as well. After the reports had been read and action on the same taken, the task of electing of- ficers for the yvear was undertaken with the following results: Past pre- slding master, Albert H.

After the election the members of the association proceeded to Mellone's cafe, where a banquet was held. Among those attending the banquet was Grand Master Workman John H. Fahey of Rockville, Brother Fahey delivered a short speech on the social side of fraternal organizations, show- ing some of the benefits to be gained 'as’ a member of such organizations. Owing to illness Grand Recorder Starch was unable to attend the meeting, much to the disappointment of those present. The many friends of the popular srand recorder, George Stroh, will be pleased to learn that he has almost recovered from a severe attack of grip and has resumed his former du- ties. His inability to attend the Past Masters' meeting was a hard blow for him, and as he admits, he had to be in a pretty serious condition be- fore he would miss attending it KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Among those who attended the 27th anniversary banquet of Trumbull se, No. 48, held at the Mohican hotel, New London, on Wednesday vening was District Deputy Grand Chancellor A. A. Guile of this ci Preceeding the banquet there was a brief business session. The banquet was held in the Dutch room and the seating capacity was taxed to its ut- most. P. C. Walter Slocum was the toastmaster and there were remarks by several of the brothers, including George A. Sturdy of New London. Guests were present from Danielson, Hartford, New Haven and this city and State Pélicemen Jackson and Downey also attended. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. In the death of Carroll Staples on Feb.

Uniting feeling, he won friends everywhere, and he will be missed by hi and friends as few of less marked per- sonality are. In the passing away of Mr. Staples the town loses a good cit- zen. It can be said of him without ation that he was a model man. Of sterling honesty, quiet and unob- trusive, he had no enemies, but many friends, who now grieve at the loss of that bricht and useful life, so well be- loved. Kind and sympathetic in disposition, generous in act, he will be sadly mi ed, for he led a practical, useful li true to his home and family, his his friends and neighbors. He was a member of the Congregational church and a regular attendants The large attendance and beautiful display of flowers at the funeral which were sent by the state grange and by the subordinate granges at Bozrah, Franklin, Salem, Mystic and Stoning- ton and his own grange—Colchester— showed in what high esteem he is held. Carroll Eugene S aples was born in Westchester, a parish of Colchester, April 22, 1852, the son of William Orrin Staples and Abby Jane Carrier, and is thus descended from good old Connecticut ancestry. He was edu- cated at the famous old Bacon acad- emy at Colchester. When a young man he was engaged in mercantile business in Boston and Middletown, Conn. For the past 20 years he has devoted his time to carpentering and farming. In early life he mastered the trades of wagon making and that of tinsmith and was employed in the shop of Fred Avery of Colchester for several years, where a large business was carrled on. Mr. Staples not only held about ev- ery office in his local grange, but was for several years treasurer and then master of New London County Po- mona. grange. For the past few years he hassbeen a member of the finance committee of the state grange ag well as a director of the Patron’s Mutual Fire Insurance company. He was a director the first year of the New Lon- don County Improvement league. ‘When the late O. S. Wood was elect- ed master of the Connecticut State grange the grange spirit in New Lon- don county was burning low. North Stonington, Preston Clty and Jewett City granges had surrendered their charters. Colchester grange member- ship has dropped from over 160 to about 80. Lebanon was the.only other grange holding meetings and they had fallen to about 80 members, Konomoc was not holding meetings at all Throughout the state the opinton pre- family | AFTER THREE YEARS Norwich Testimony Remains Unshaken. Time is the best test of trut;l. ‘Here is a Norwich story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us. Mrs. C. Bennett, 46 Palmer St., Nor- wich, says: “Some years ago one of my family suffered from backache. Bvery cold settled on the kidneys and made the trouble worse. The kidneys ‘were disordered, as was shown by the kidney secretions being irregular in passage. Doan’s Kldney Pills, pro- cured at N. D. Sevin & Son's Drug Store, brought prompt relief.” A LASTING EFFECT. Almost three years later Mrs. Ben- nett said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills cured one ‘of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no sign of it since. I willingly confirm my former endorsement of this medi- cine.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Bennett has twice publicly rec- ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffal ¥ Staples was appointed deputy and the grange was saved. The above men- tioned granges were revived and re- organized. Most of them are very prosperous, with hundreds of new members. New granges were organ- ized at Bozrah, Salem, Norwich, Mont- ville, Stonington, Mystic, Groton and Ledyard during his service as deput: After Mr. Staples’ retirement as dep- uty he was appointed a special mis- sionary to go to Franklin, where he or- ganized Franklin grange a little over a year ago. Mr. Staples was not con- tented with getting people into the subordinate granges, but led them on to the gates of the Pomona, and through his efforts more than to any one else he saw the Pomona grow from a few members to over 500. At the time of his death he was planning for a grange at Baltic and had spent onsiderable time in that town. H slogan was grange in every town of the county.

Anthony constitutional amendment was held here today. Delegates were present from New Jersey Pennsylvania, into s men already have the vote. The purpose of this effort, it was explain- ed, is to influence all voters to urge their senators and support the congre About § 0 as pledged, bringing the eastern campaien fund for this movement up to $60.00 At the meeting today the congres- sional union for suffrage organized the mid-Atlantic states conference. It was anncunced that all the other states are to be grouped into smaller conferences, the chairman of each group to rert the movement to or- 'zanize every congressional district; irs. Henry Bruere, wife of the city amberlain of New York, was elect- ed cha man for the mid-Atlantic sroup. _A resolution which was adopted will be sent to President Wilson asking him to ccnsider very carefully the Susan B.
