 -Buel Keeney of East Longmeadow was arrested last Saturday for killing his father, Isaac Keeney. A week ago Satur- day night Buel, who is 55 years old and & huge fellow, returned home under the in- fluence of liquor. The house is in lone y spot on the Somers road. When Buel entered the house he made great racket, overturning the table and chairs and gen erally exhibiting little regard for his aged parents, who slept in an adjoining room. On being awakened from his sleep, the father, whose house was being thus turn ed upside down, requested his son to be quiet. Angry words followed, and Buel finally entered the bed room and pounded his father as he lay in bed. The huge fists rendered the old mans head mass of bruises, and neither the victims groans nor the mothers expostulation calmed the sons fury. Isaac Keeney did not recover from his injuries, but doctor was not summoned till Wednesday evening, when Dr. Bowker was called to attend the case. When the old man died Friday night Dr. to examine the body, and he at once told the selectmen that the case deserved in- vestigation. Keeney seemed not at all disturbed about the affair, but hung about the place and seemed indifferent to the fate of his father. Officer Converse had difficulty in investigating the case, because the mother tried to shield her son and re- fused to say anything about the affair. Enough evidence, however, was obtained to warrant the arrest. Buel is over six feet tall, weighs nearly 2UO pounds, and his bfonzed face is nearly covered by 8 thick matted beard. He is unmarried, and lived with his father and mother, SUD- porting himself by assisting in working about the farm. The eyes of the victim were we'll nigh pounded out, the nose was broken, the right cheek and right arm were frightfully bruised. The autopsy showed that death resulted from clot of blood the size of beech-nut lodging in the posterior of the left hemisphere of the brain, and produced by blow on the head. Keeney pleaded guilty of man. slaughter before the police court in Spring. field on Monday, and not furnishing $5, ,000 bonds required was sent to jail to await trial.-,Sprinataeld Republican.

Rev. A. J. Sullivan of Willimantic de. clines to withdraw his resignation of the Congregational pastorate, though church and society expressed willingness to call a council to settle him.

 The dye is the same in Alaska seal skin, and yet it turns out different. The cloth won't fade or grow rusty; the nat ural fur will.
 We have fared extremely well with seal- skin Pushes this year-especially the Sacque with seam in the back.
 The faults of year ago (and what is there without fault), have been traced to the seamless back garment-the strains on the cloth, with its deep bias curves on back and waist were too much in follow ing the undulations of one's body.
 Cloth of any sort sh0ald net be treated the same As slkin, says the Boston Herald in an interview with Massachusetts, leading seaskin gar- ment maker.
 Take the back of sealskin sacQue. Af- ter the measurement is got, 1t is placed on a cut modelzof soft wood board (juet like taking 8 perfect plaster modeD, stretched and pounded to the required form, as the kid in glove is modelled. The rest is easy. It is the joining togeth- CT of the other parts of armor which aI- ready fit their respective places.
 Plush is different. It cannot be stretch ed and pounded. At must be cut to the shaPes Look at the back ofa piece of seal plush-rather a loose woven material that doesn't bear severe pulling. The larger the bias curves, the greater the strain. The consequence Is, the seamless back garment is not so lasting In the shape or wear as the garment with seam in the back-with only half the bias curve. We began the season under the market and grade our purchases from day to day so as to be able to stay under the market any day and every day. That accounts for such prices as these Seal plush garments at $850.
 Seal plush garments at $9. 50.
 Seal plush garments at $10, To as high as you like. Expect to 6ni them $5 cheaper on $25; $10 cheaper or $40; $15 cheaper on $e5. Another quality Seal Plush Sacqu' aoithout the seam in the back at $22. 50 It began selling elsewhere at $35, and hal lately dropped to $a2.5O. We put it dow1 lower than the next poorer quality can b' proftably sold for $22.50. All Seal Plush Garments aoithout tn. seam in the back are down.

The plan successfully pursued for the last fifty years has been to alternate the meetings 80 that a meeting will occur in each town once in four years. 1n this way 8 spirit of emula- tion has been kept up so that there has been freshness at each annual meeting which has kept the interest alive and vigorous. Many of the best supporters of the society believe that it will be more prosperous not to locate, and quote the experience of other located societies to that effect.
