Our community was greatly shocked, on
Tuesday morning, to learn of the death of
John Hazen. Mr.. Hazen has been resi-
dent of the town nearly all Of his lite and
during the past 10 or y years has had a
home with w. G.. Ober's family. Mr.
Hazen has been troubled for several years
with heart disease. On Monday he work

On Tuesday morning he did not come

fearing that something was wrong, went
to his room and found him dead. He was
living in the same position in which he
usually slept and to all appearance he had
passed quietly away while asleep. Mr.
Hazen would have been 81 years old on
April II. lie leaves no family.

MONSON.

At the fifth annual meet of the Vest ern Massachusetts Interscholastic Ath- letic Association, held at Amherst Satur- day afternoon, Monson made full title to the pennant. The Springfield high school won first place the first two years, while Monson captured first place the fol- lowing two years, and thus Saturdays meet was rubber to decide which team should secure the pennant to keep. Mon son had everything it's own way, and se- cured places in all but two of the seven- teen events. Holyoke also made a good showing and came out second best, hay ing forty points to Monson's fifty-four.. W. T. Linehan, of Amherst, secured twenty-five out of the twenty-seven points for his team, besides breaking two records, which was remarkable feat. James, of Holyoke, again won the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the quarter mile run, breaking the two former records and tying the latter. Westfield showed up much better than was anticipated, while the Springfield team showed lack of training In the bicycle races the officials had each race run in preliminary heats, semi-fina1 heats and fiEals, and these were divided in such 8 manner that the Springfield and Monson riders refused to participate in the half-mile race. The feature of the meet was the great number of records broken. About TOO people witnessed the events. The Monson people gave the victorious team warm greeting on their arrival home on Saturday night, the younger people using horns, red fire and their threats, while. the elder provided hacks, brass band and supper. The compliments of the newspapers on the ex- p oollont management of everything at ti1e place of contest are fiattering to Dennis J. Mccarthy, of Stafford Springs and of Monson academy, as president of the joint association and chairman of the ex- ecutive committee.

One of the latest popular fads is the making of what is called Venetian iron work. The iron is bought in long, slen- der strips about half an inch wide and thin enough to be bent into any desired shape with the fingers. The number of useful articles, that are also ornamental in the highest degree, is limited only by the ingenuity of the artist. The things most often made, however, are antique candlesticks, brackets, chains with orna- mental single and double hooks, lamp frames, picture frames, pen racks, grill work and ornamental scroll work for the finishing of desks or sideboards. It is a rough kind of fancy work one might say at first thought, but after seeing a lady twist and bend the pliable iron strips into articles of dainty beauty and real worth one cannot but say that it has it's fasclna- tions. It opens up a new field for the la dies, and adds large list of articles that may be made for Christmas or birthday presents.

 Postmaster George w. Randall had his right hand terribly burned with lamp Saturday evening. The lamp caught fire, and he was almost completely en- veloped in flames. He carried it some 20 feet and threw it outdoors. He was obliged to drop it once, but picked it up again before it caused any damage.

Hartford Post: So far as we are in- formed, Trinity will be the first of the easteln colleges to fly the national flag in front of its buildings. The idea which will culminate in the raising of the flag on Wednesday, June 27, was first thought of last June, when it was preached at meeting of the alumni association. The idea then was merely to have 8 flag which could be flung to the breeze on days of national significance or draped at half mast on the death of some alumnus. The proposition met with much favor and was eagerly taken up by all the alumni. A committee of three, consisting of Profes- sor J. J. McCook, Professor F. s. Luther and Percy s. Bryant was appointed to make the arrangements. By degrees the movement grew and took on larger pro- portions. The militia began offering it's services as escorts to the members of the Grand Army posts who came nobly for ward and showed that the memory of past days was still fresh in their minds by offering to present the flags to the col lege. The occasion will be a memorable one both for Hartford and Trinity. It will be something the undergraduates have never yet seen and for which the alumni can well afford to return. All the prominent men of the state and city will be there. Senator Hawley has consented to be present and deliver the oration, though his own college, Hamilton, of which he is a trustee, wants him too on that day. Governor Morris will be un- able to be present, owing to the fortieth anniversary of the graduation of his class from Yale on that day. There will be in- spring music from the mammoth chor us, inspiring words from the speakers and martial inspiration from the drums, flies and soldiers.

THE Lexow investigation shows that the New York police department had a way of squeezing about fifteen millions annually out of the people. There is no evidence to show that it had reached it's greatest achievement even in that direc- tion. The New York police captains on $25OO year all own elegant homes on fashionable streets, and live like million aires. There is more money in protect ing criminals for pay than In protecting the public for the beggardly sum of $25O0 year. Even the bunco and green goods men have been duly licensed and protected in their work. Neighbors who complained of protected law breakers in their vicinity have themselves been ar rested on trumped up charge as warn ing to "mind their own business
