Not a great deal of other fhan rou- tine business, as far as appears from the warning, will burden the attention of the taxpayers at the annual town meeting—but you never can telll It is possible that those qualified to an- swer may be requested to state to the meeting ‘something relative to expen- ditures in certain departments, but this, too, is uncertain at the present time. The tax rate is again becoming a subject of discussion and many are insisting that the 14-mill rate must be renewed if Killingly hopes to con- tinue to decrease its big debt. A start was made this vear. Among other items_that Killingly may consider it- self obligated to figure upon is the tax recently voted laid by the country members of the state legislature. This tax for Killingly may reach $2,000, pos- sibly much ore. BY SPECIAL TRAIN Mr. and Mrs. Nathan D. Prince Going to Bankers’ Convention in Missouri Nathan D.

PUTNAM Woodstock Wife Divorced From Her Drunken Husband—Decree for De. serted Brooklyn Husband — Judge Reed Delays Granting Mrs. Park’s Divorce—Judgment of $935.50 for Mrs. Kroll—Joseph Sheehan, 22, Has Infantile Paralysis—New Book by Miss Gertrude C. Warner. Judge Reed heard three uncontested divorce suits and disposed of matters on the calendar at Friday’s session of the superior court. The first divorce of the day was granted Lena_ Perrin, of Woodstock. She charged that her husband, Harley B. Perrin, had been habitually intem- perate almost from the time of their wedding—January 15, 1915. He had conducted himself fairly well, Mrs. Perrin said, for the first two weeks of their married life, but thereafter he Dbegan to drink heavily and continued to do so until they separated about March 4 of this vear. Mrs. Perrin testified that she did not know that her husbana was so serlously addicted to drink when she married him, but soon discovered the fact. The jncident that led to their break- ing point occurred on a night early in March of this year. At that time they were boarding with Mr. and Mrs. John Spalding. On a cold and stormy nieht Perrin had insisted on his wife going with him to visit his mother. She was ill and felt unable to go out and she so stated. After some words her husband raised his hand to strike her, but was prevented from so doing by 'Mr. Spalding. Mrs. Perrin's testimony as to Per- rin’s conduct relative to drinking was substantiated by Emerson Morse and Mr. and Mrs. Spalding. Judse Reed granted the divorce on the ground of intemperance and ac- ceded to a request that Mrs. Perrin be allowed to again assumé her maiden name—Lena Angell. The plaintiff was represented by Attorney Charles L. Torrey. Decree for Deserted Husband. Robert Cooper, Brooklyn, on the ground of desertion, was granted a di- vorce from Mary E. Evarts, whom he married while they were residents of Brooklyn, N. Y., June 20, 1897. At that time Mr. Cooper was a railroad con- ductor. He testified that when he came home after a run on the road he found is home stripped of about everything lue and his wife and two children —Dboys~—gone. The boys were kept hid- den from him for a few months, but afterwards were returned from his wife’s parents, where they had been staying, a fact that had been denied to him, and he has since cared for them. Mr. Cooper testified that his wife was addicted to the drink habit. Witnesses for Mr. Cooper were Se- lectmen Oliver F. Downs, of Brooklyn, and Rev. Charles Downs, Dayville, both lifelong friends. The divorce was granted _on the ground of desertion. Judge Harry E. Back was counsel for Mr. Cooper. SALESMAN DESERTED FAMILY But Wife’s Decree Held Up Till Judge Knows Husband Has Been Notified Judge Reed also heard the evidence the case of Hortense E. Park, Wil- limantic, vs. William J. Park. a trav- eling salesman, married in Williman- tic, Feb. 26, 1903. Desertion was charged and after the evidence had meen laid in Judge Reed said he was satisfled, but would withhold formal granting of the divorce until such time as Mrs. Park’s counsel, Attorney W. A. King, filed a registered letter receipt card showing that Mr. Park had been notified that the divorce had been sued for and that the case was to be tried. Such a card exists, but was not avail- able at Fridav's session of the court. Mrs. Park, who lives at her mother’s home, was given the custody of her two children, a bov and a girl. De- sertion was alleged to have occurred on a day in November, 1911, when Park made clear he no longer wanted the responsibility of caring for his famil Wife, Leaving Husband, Wants Cash. There was a hearing during the morning of an application for dam- ages by ult in the case of Joseph- ine Kroll vs. Matt. alias Maciej. Kroll, formerly of Fast Thompson. _ Mrs. Kroll is now of Webster. The Krolls, husband and wife, were joint owners of a farm and the stock upon it, in the town of Thompson, in 1913. They had twelve children. They finally sep- arated_and have been since divorced. Mrs. Kroll seeks {o recover half of a bank account of $500, 3100 cash kept in the house and half the value of the personal property, a total of over $1,100. After the hearing Judge Reed ordered judgment filed in favor of the plaintiff ‘in_the sum of $935.50. Court adjourned sine die. GYPSY MOTH SCOUT HAS INFANTILE PARALYSIS Joseph Sheehan, 22, May Have Con- tracted Disease From His Sister in Massachusetts. Joseph Sheehan, 22, a memb, force of gypsy méth hunters in the town of Pomfret, w nounced ill with infantile paraiysi Friday morning, after a consultation between Dr. E. F. Perry and Dr, S. B. Overlook. Sheehan visited his home in Weston Mass., Labor day. A few davs after his return a younger sister developed infantile paralysis, it being under- stood, however, that Sheehan did not come in contact with her upon the occasion of his visit to his home. Last Sunday he playved football and on the following day was ill. His ness during the present week and up to Thursday night was regarded as a cold, but Friday he had developed in- fantile paralysis. The paralysis had developed In such a degree as to af- fect his legs and arms, but he ald not appear to be suffering much. Health Officer C. O. Thompson of the town of Pomfret was notified of the case, also Dr. J. T. Black, New London, the state hoard of health’s expert. Dr. Black ordered Sheehan quarantined and gave directions for maintaining the quarantine. Sheehan is 11 at the home of Henry P. Le Fort, at Abington Four Corners. This home is across the street from the school, so the development of the case has caused a flurry in the neigh- borhood. Following a meeting of the town school committee Friday, the Abington school was closed. An effort was made during the day to have Sheehan transferred.to the isolation ward of. the Backus hospital at Norwich or to a Worcester hospital, but neither hospital was able to pro- vide the accommodation.

Some of the Characteristics of the People of the Last Country To Enter the War. 3 (Speciai to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—A vivid picture of the Roumanian peasantry, whose country has been drawn into the destructive vortex of the European war after many months of vacillation, is presented in a communication to the National Geographic Society from James Howard Gore. The Society to- day issued a part of Mr. Gore's arti- cle as a war geography bulletin which says: “A Roumanian village looks its best in the spring, when nature, awakened from the sleeb of winter, is green and fresh. At Baster the cottages have been white-washed and the doors and window frames freshly painted in bright colors. The thatched roof has been put in order, and in its entirety the cottage calls to mind the black- eved country girls, with their glisten- ing strings of multi-colored beads around their necks. “The Roumanian peasant women one meets by the roadside are the fair- est among their Balkan neighbors, and this natural gift is most apparent under conditions best calculated for its preservation. Thelr dress s varied and elaborate. The foundation is Sort of shift reaching to the ankle, the upper part embroidered with colored cotton, usually red or black. Over this is a_petticoat, which, in its ma- terial and detail, réflects the taste and buying power of the wearer. On her head the peasant woman wears a scarf of cotton tissue with silk stripes if her means permit, and on gala_oc- caslons she puts on a brighter ker- chief, ornamented with a fringe or a row of spangles. Both men and wom- en seem partial to having their heads covered, cven in the house; but it is not regarded proper to eat without re- moving the hat. “In no part of Europe do the peas- ants hold so tenaciously to their dis- tinctive costume as in the uplands of Roumania. It is, in fact, almost in nationalism, and its unifying influence was emphasized some years ago by the late Dowager Queen, widely known as Carmen Sylva, when she herself put on the native dress, “While wheat is the great staple of this agricultural country the soil is equally adapted to corn (maize) and would be called upon for greater crops if the demand should Jjustify it. The ease with which corn can be converted into substantial food tempts the people to give but little attention to the form in which it is prepared for consump- tion. Polenta, a sort of, mush, can be made of corn-meal and water, and if time or energy be lacking, it will be placed on the table insufficiently cook- ed. Although many believe that this is the cause of the greater part of the pellagra so common in Roumanta, it is difficult to persuade the peasant to ex- ercise greater care in the preparation of polenta or substitute for it some of the many palatable dishes that can be made from corn. “Cooking, unfortunately, is not cul- tivated as it should be, and the peo- ple seem to be content with simple fare and a sameness that yields but little to the seasons. Gardening is looked upon as petty farming and not worthy of the attention of a man who calls himself a farmer; In fact, so few Roumanians have gardens that they are called ‘bulgarii’, since the greater part of the vegetables grown are in the hands of immigrant Bulgarians. The soil and climate of the country are adapted to as wide a range as can be found in our Middle however. “The climate of Roumania is not so mild as might be expected from the low latitude of the land, it being the same as that of northern Italy. Com- ing under the influence of the Medi- terranean on the west and the moun- tains to the north and east the king- dom is subject to the extremes of a subtropical summer and a_winter of Atlantic States, the Hungarian pla. ‘Roumania,” says Carmen Sylva, ‘has only three seasons, and of these one alone—au- tumn—is fine; in these parts there o no_spring.’ “The Roumanian is not a trades- man, and his main interest lies in farming. Even the selling of the sur- plus grain usi lly takes place at his farm to the itinerant buyers, for he seems to be wary of the town mer- chant, and rarely trusts himself to the wiles ‘of the city, except on the occa- sion of the annual fair. “The higher classes the descendants of the Boyars, the landed aristocracy and the rich citi- zens—use in general the French lan- guage in their daily intercourse, re- serving the Roumanian tongue for those cases where it is. prescribed by law—in the parliament and in the law courts. As this restriction does not affect the women, those of higher rank take but Iittle interest in the native melodious Roumanian and would not deign to write the least important note in'the language. The proximity to Austria, and the influence of the Hohenzollern rulers have brought the German language to the Roumanians as a second competitor. “The propaganda in behalf of the use and development of the native lan- guage is making headway, however, as evidenced by the forcible interruption by Roumanian students of a play given in French by a ladies’ charitabie organization in Bucharest not long ago. The outburst resulted in rioting which kept the city in a state of siege for four days. “One of the great cconomic weak- nesses of Roumania arises from the fact that the rural population which works so arduously during the sum- mer, has_practically nothing to do in winter. During the idle months they spena for daily necessities all they earned when work was plentiful.” in Roumania— Misrepresentation.
