WASHINGTON.
MRS FRANCES TITUS.


 On Monday afternoon of this week, Mrs Frances Titus went peacefully to sleep at her home in Bethlehem, Pa. She was widow of the late Franklin Ti- tus of this place, and had always lived in Washington up to the last eight years, since when she has lived with her daughter, Mrs William Franklin. Mrs Titus maiden name was Frances Tenn, daughter of the late John Fem. She was 75 years of age. She leaves two daughters and one son, who will keenly mourn their loss, Mrs William Franklin of Bethlehem, Pa., Mrs Ed win Hollister of this place and Albert A. Titus of Waterbury. The funeral services were held on Thursday, in the Congregational church, and interment in the family lot in Washington cem- etery. Mrs Titus was one whose lov- able traits of character endeared her to all hearts.
 The Judea lChapter of the D. A. R. gave delightful entertainment, last week Thursday, in the hall on the Green. The farce, 1.-The Sleeping Car," was given. Those acting in the play and whose dramatic talent can not be questioned were DrF E. w. Wer- sebe, MrstL. P. Smith, Miss Eva Cape, Frank Morewood and Laurence Kelly, | (these last two are Gurnery students ] Mrs Lewis Mason, who has been i'll, is now restored to health.
 Miss Clara Cummings badly injured her knee when coasting, last week, with party down the hill from the Green. The double ripper dashed into rock in front of Paul Cages, and Miss Cummings received the worst in juries.
 l Wilbur Kilborn's grandmother, Mrs Jordon, gave the Congregational Sun- day school fine blackboard. It is suspended in a wooden frame on a standard. MT Kilborn is superintend- ent of the Sunday school and under his able and untiring efforts it is pros pering finely.
 The Young Mems club anticipate giving play in the near future. There is no doubt of it's being great success when one reads on their program the names of such actors and actresses as Wilbur Kilborn, Dr Wersebe, Mrs Denslow and Mrs Hosford.

THE GREAT "HoSs" RAGE ON THE ICK

 The much-talked-about and expected "hoss" race at Lake Waramaug, Mon- day, did not materialize, owing to the fierce wind and drifting snow on the lake. A large crowd of New Milford horsemen and their friends went to the lake to see the fun, but were com. pelled to return without witnessing the exciting contests. It is now ex. pected the races will materialize on February 8.

ties present raised objections to an.
nexatlon. A committee was appoint
ed to request the Animas City council
to take the necessary steps, and the
matter will be brought before the Du-
range City council tomorrow might.
The Animas City council will pass an

there is no doubt of the election going
right For long time many of the
residents Of Animas City have cher

Durango has introduced Florida water.
and there is found to be such an
abundance of 1t especially during
such dry season. the people of Ami
mas City have concluded they could
do no better than TO secure the ben

The lack of waterworks is all that
has kept Animas City back all these
years, and now that that convenience
is to be supplied that suburb should
soon become the fashionable residence
