Wood, on Me- chanic street, funeral services ‘or fThomas Matthewson Hopkins, who died at Little Rest, were conductad by Rev. H. B. Goodsell, pastor of the Congregational church at South Kil- Yingly The bearers were Aden A. Tillinghast, George Edgerly, Clayton ‘Wright and William Martin. Burial was in Westfield cemetéry.

Regulars Down Alumni Team. Like all other teams they have met this season, the Alumni organization went down to defeat befors the K. H. S. basketball team, leaders of sthe race In the Quinebaug Valley league. The K. H. S. team'still has a clean slate, winning every contest it has en- tered so far this season. Such play- ers as O'Neil, Killian, Jette, Norton, Ennis and Caffery were included in the Alumni list, -but, good players that they are, they could not stop the &peedy regular team. Christmas, Trade Best Ever. A canvass of business men in town indicates that, on the whole the Christmas trading season, was the greatest that has been experienced here. Numbers of merchants surpass- ed their best records of other years, and by a considerable margin. And some degree limits were placed on trading by the fact that it has been difficult, and_in some cases impossible to get a sufficient quantity in certain lines of goods for which there has been an unprecedented demand. Ordinance to Require Sewer Connec- tion. An effort will.be made in the spring, it is stated, to induce the borough government to e:act an ordinance re- quiring abutting owners on streets where sewers have been run or are to be buflt to connect their properties with sewers. The object of this is to do away with cesspools and dry clos- ets that vet abo' nd in thickly settled sectias of the borough and are re- garded as a menace to public health. Borough People Forget Children's Home. There were fewer gifts from Dan- jelson people on the Christmas tree at the county home for children in the town of Putnam juesday evening than has been the e for years past. Thoughtful ' people here have made a practice of keeping the little ‘people in mind Christmas time—sending sec- ond-hand toys, books, etc., but this year, for some unknown reason, the glifts from Danielson have been much fewer in number than in the past, a thing thaf is rggretted, for there are more children at the home now than ever before, and a considerable num- ber of them from this town. Building to Go Steadily On. Spring will ,not be awaited in Kil- iingly thig year to conduct building operations on a large scale. The de- mand, for more structures, manufac- turing and dwelling, is so urgent that the buflders will be kept at work right through January and February, ex- cepting when the weather is. very se- vere. It is hoped to comstract ten or n_dozen more houses about: Industrial place during the winter and there will be much activity at Willlamsville. An open winter will be regarded as a great advantage in forwarding con- struction work that there' is great an- xléty to see completed: ¢ i ———— e | No Higher Pric@%for This.

MILK %ODUGERS’ MEETING. important Gathering to Be Held Sat- urday to Decide Affiliation With New Engiland Association. County Agent B. W. EHis of the Windham County Farmers’ assoclation was giving attention Tuesday to ar- rangements for the mass meeting of farmers to be held here next Saturday morning at 10 o'cleck to discuss_the matter of affiliating with the New England Milk Producers’ association. This meeting probably will be held ir Odd Fellows’ hall, but announce- ment on this point could not be made definitely Tuesday. The meeting is an all-important one to milk producers and the number gathered here will probably exceed the attendance at any farmers’ meeting ever held .in this city. The meéting here has been called by the New England Milk Producers’ association, and just what part the Windham County Farmers’ association avill take in the movement, as an or- anization, will be discussed by offi- cials of it today, it is undefstood. In- dividually, however, the farmers are anxious to hear all that is to be said on a proposition that at first glance looks mighty attractive and gives promise of developing much of benefit te _them. Secretary Richard Pattee of the N. E. M. P. association, in a letter re- ceived Tuesday by Mr. Ellis, states that he is sending here as the speaker for Saturday’s meeting C. E. Embree, cne of the best informed men, as to the cost of milk production, and scores of other details of the business, in New England. Mr. Embree is a former man- ager of the Maine Farmers’ unions, which have transacted a $1,000,000 business in a year, and at the present time is in charge of the farmers’ co- operative movement in Rhode Island. There is general interest @mong the farmers throughout Windham county ir the meeting called for Saturday. This is indicated by the many in- quiries relative to tl gathering. Ar- rangements will be sich as to provide a comfortable meeting place for all who come to the meeting. which, it is expected, will witness the affiliation of farmers in this county with a move- ment that will bring 30,000 of them Into .active organization in one day— next Saturday. While the meeting is being held here similar meetings will be in session in sections of every New England state. OBITUARY. Mrs. Henry K. Safford. Doris Sherman Safford, wife of Hen- r- K. Safford, dled Christmas night at their home in Woodstock. Mrs. Safford had been ill for several months. She was born June 11, 1846, at Bast Woodstock, the daughter of Robert A. and Cynthia Underwood = Sherman. June 11, 1869, she married Mr. Saf- ford, one. of the best known citizens of the town of Woodstock, She leaves her husband, one - son, Robert K.. who is in business in Wood- stock, and a daughter, Florence Cyn- thia, a graduate of Woodstock acade- my in the class of 1903. Admiral Goodrich to Retzin Pomfret Home, Through a friend, Robert Harris, also of Pomifret, Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich makes ‘it clear that he is not to give up his Pomfret home, an im- pression that has gained wide credence through newspaper stories published in A .number of large eastern cities, The stories relative to Admiral Good- rich leaving Pomfret followed close upon his recent marriage, after which it was announced that he was going to California. Admiral Goodrich is quoted as say- ing that he intends tp retain his home in Pomfret, legally, officially and as a voter; that he intends to spend much of his time there, going and coming as his interests may require, and that he will always remain a Connecticut man. This is pleasant news to many here- abouts who had taken as accurate the stories that he was to go permanently away from Pomfret. COUNTY JAIL CONDITIONS Should Be Investigated by State Suf- fragists, According to Notice Sent Out by State Association. That suffragists who are members of eastern Connecticut leagues have their attention directed to a matter that is interesting the state organization, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett gave out the following statement Tuesday afternoon: The attention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association is calléd by the president and the members of the executive board to the report is- sued this week by the Civic Federation of New Haven on the condition of the county jall in that_city. The report was made by O. F. Lewis, secretary of the Prison association of New York, and Hastings' H. Hart, director of the child helping bureau of the Russell Bage Foundation. Its revelations con- cern not only the bad sanitary condi- ton of the jail, and certain features of mal-administration, but also the hope- lessness of the eystem on which the county jail is conducted. ~ The atten- tion of the suffragists is directed chief- ly to the conditions under which wom- er are imprisoned, and especially to the fact that ydung girls and women accused of crimes of which they may afterwards be found entirely innocent, and women and girls imprisoned mere- ly for safe keeping as material wit- nesses in criminal cases, against whom' ne crime whatever is alleged, are im-. prisoned under the same conditions and without separation or classification along with old offenders and vile wom- en whose conversation is most offen- sive and corrupting and whose sani- m% condition is such that they are lidble to communicate the foulest dis- eases to these innocent companions, Resolutions were passed by the board addressed to all the affiliated icagues, calling their attention to this new evidenee of the need of votes for wome; recommending a full study of the report, and also that the women in ‘the other counties endeavor to as- certain the conditions existing in their respective county jails. The leagues and you must stand firm against substitutes. Scott & Bowne. Bloomfield. N.Y. 1621 are also urged to do all in their power to support the measure that will be introduced in the coming session pro- viding for the establishmeht of a re- formatory for women. Another reso- lution called upon the legislature to make a sufficient appropriation to en- able the reformatory to be at once established, and work on it to be hastened as much as possible, in view of the fact that its lack has been S0 terribly emphasized by the disclosure of conditions in the New Haven county Christmas Tree Night. Tuesday night was Christmas tree night at the Windham county home for children in the Sawyer district. This event of special interest to eight little people was one of delight. The tree was set up in the spacious room designed originally for a school room, and gathered there with the hap- py little people were friends of the in. stitution in numbers. The Christmas tree exercises followed the usual'rou- tine’ and the state held no Nappier set of children than those at the home when the incidents of the even- ing had been brought to a close and the children had been laden with Bifts. <P Belated Gifts Distributed. Late- arriving Christmas gifts had accumulated in such quantities at the postoffice Tuesday morning that it was necessary to send out a vehicle for delivery. - With the extra workers and the extra space in which they were given to operate, the greatest welume of holiddy mail matter in the history of the office was handled by Post- master Gilman's force witr care and despatch, giving excellent satisfaction to the people of the city. Salvation Army Grateful. * Salvation Army workers here are expressing appreciation and thanks to those who so generously gave or other- wise assisted in making it possible for the army members to bring holiday cheer into some of the homes and pub- lic institutions of the city.
