Tablet to Mr. Putnam's Memory
Proposed.
The funeral of Mrs. Patnam, widow of
the late Rev. Austin Putnam, who was for
fifty years pastor of the Whitneyville
Congregational church, was held last Sat-
urday afternoon. Services were held at
the house followed by the principal ser
vice at the church. Rev. Mr.. Dinsmore
of Willimantic, who succeeded Rev. Mr..
Putnam as pastor of the church, OBLIGATED
both at the house and at the church. The
church was crowded with people from the
vicinity and all the region of country
rouad. Mr.. Dinsmore spoke of the beau
tiful and exemplary life of the deceased
and of the kindly welcome and hospitality
which both Mr.. and Mrs. Putnam extend
ed to him when he first came there. He
also spoke of how much Mr. Putnam helped
to build up the church in his
long pastorste of fifty years, which
are go uncommon in these days. He also
spoke of Mr.. Putnam's notable zeal and
devotion to the church work and urged the
propriety of erecting a tablet in the
church to the memory of Mr.. and Mrs.
Putnam and said that upon it should be
the inscription, "Love One Another" as
1t so fi.ly exempN6ed one of the leading
traits of Mr.. Putnam's character. Mrs
Putnam, his wife, was a resident of Whit
NEVILLE for sixty years and with her hus-
band WAS identified with much of its sDir-
itual growth and history.
Directly after the funeral the iuterment
took place in tbs Whitneyville cemetery,
large throng of mourning friends fol-
lowing the remains to their last resting
place.
The project of erecting tablet as pro-
posed by Pastor Dinsmore seems to meet
with universal favor and 1t is not unlikely
that the project will be accomplished.

SALMON FISHING IN CANADA.

Rev. DR.. Smyth of Center Church
Tells Something About the Fishing
on the Cascepedta Rtver-Strict Can
adam Fishing Laws.
Rev. DR.. Smythe gives an interesting &C.
count of his vacation fishing excursion to
Canada. He and the party he was with
we're staying in the house built by the
Marquis of Lorne, on the Cascopedia river,
near the Bay of Chaleurs. The most ex-
cellent salmon fishing in Eastern Canada ia
found here. It was formerly the privilege
of the governor general to enjoy the salmon
fishing, but under the new administration
this privilege ia no longer allowed. There
Is no free fishing in Canada, and the laws
are most strictly enforced In this regard,
the rivers all being carefully guarded.
A number of American gentlemen have
obtained control for number of years of
the fishing on forty miles of the Cascope-
dia river, for which they pay 5000 per year
and they obtain about two or two and a
half months fishing.
About the middle of August DR.. Smythe
left the fishing grounds and went to Dial
housie, watering place at the head of the
Bay of Chaleurs, and afterwards visited
various points in the province of New
Brunswick. He says that all that region
of country is q mere fringe of civilization
on the edge of q great wilderness. It has
hardly yet been discovered by Americans,
but when its beauties and attractions are
really recognized, thousands will flock

Efie Ellsler, in her new play .sDoris, ("
will be the attraction on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings this week. Speaking
of recent performance, an exchange says
"Efie Ellsler appeared as Doris, a. the
Grand, last night, and that she scored a
success may be gathered from the fact that
she was thrice recalled by the large audi
ence. Doris is a good play, and gives
Miss Ellsler scope for the display of her
fine gifts as an emotional actress" Sale of

successful attractions on the road this

the comedy lead with as much If not
greater success than he did Jack Sharpe.

of whether goods were sea-

Many lots were ticketed
ridiculously low. Yet price

sire.
It's more than comfortable
and it's extremely artistic.
The pushes are charming
shades of olive, rose, russell
browns, terra Gotta, ETC., and
they don't glare.
The price is $2.4e. The
lowest thing of this kind ever
offered in town was $3.oS.
The furniture man says
iii give 'em a Chamber
Suit for SIG. 46 that will excel
anything ever was offered"
Here it is-bed, wash
stand and bureau, spring bed
and mattress.
The bed is full size, ash,
high head board.
The bureau has a large
German bevel plate glass.
The washstand has a high
splasher back.

as good value soe can't I'M

TRULY WEIGHTY mATTER.

TRULY WEIGHTE mATFEh.
The Price OF Bread Now and Then.
To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
In the Palladium of August 81, under
the heading Flour Very Cheap now; but
the Staff of Life ia Sold at the Old Price"
appeared the following:
mot since the good old days Just preceding
the civil war has wheat been bought In the mar.
ket so cheaply. In consequence nour has been
bought by wholesalers at unprecedentedly low
bread loaves has not been lowered In New
Haven the standards of five and ten cents a
loaf are maintained, and this in face Of the fact
that wheat and -four were never, within forty
years, cheap per in American markets..
Now, Mr.. Editor, in reference to the
above permit me to cay that the writer of
the above either took very little pains to
ase srtsin the true facts in the case or he
wilfully desired to place in a wrong, light
very important industry in this city.
The truth of the matter Is that twenty
| Eve years ago bread was sold here for ten
| cents per loaf of one pound two ounces
| weight. To day You can get loaf weighing
| one pound two ounces for five cents and of
much finer quality. We, of course, are now
speaking of what is termed plain bread.
Should the Palladium reporter wish fancy
make bread of the most expensive ingredi-
ents he will have to pay better price.
If bread, like crackers, could be sold by
the pound, our friend might be able to dis
cover some difference SIS to the cost Of
bread at different times, but he, like many
others, prefers to think that loaf Of
bread Is q loaf whether 1t weighs foul
ounces or forty ounces, and never takes tht
trouble to weigh the bread he buys. Con
slider the quality and note the price.
