We herewith present picture of the new chapel recently dedicated at Ashley Falls, Mass. For the following descrip- ton of same we are indebted to The Berkshire Courier:
 "The Congregational people have held services in Smiths old store for two and a half years. On May 10. 1904. the Home Circle was organized for church work and with the purpose of building a cha pei sometime, for which end they have worked and prayed faithfully. On Sep tember IS, 1905, a meeting was held in the store building for the purpose of or ganizing religious society preparatory to legal incorporation, and the following were the signers of the petition for in- George B. Lee, Robert Lee, Mrs. Nellie A. Lee, Frank Stall. Mrs. Georgia Stall, George Wood, Mrs. Louise c. Wood, Ralph l.. Hurlburt, LA. Grif- filth, Mrs. Belle B. Griffith. Andrtw W Horne, susan NJ. Horne. Mrs. Cora Hnrl- burt, Henry Clark and Mrs. Mary Ives Clark.
 The society was duly incorporated on September 2i, 1905, with the follow ing officers: Mrs. Mary Ives Clark, clerk; Mrs. Belle B. Griffith. treasurer; John A. Griffith and Robert Lee, standing committee. A building lot was purchaS- ed from the Meachem estate Gn Main street, plans for building were formed

HAPPY CHILDREN
BENEFACTIoNs OF THE RICH
Mir. and Mrs. Hertzel of Sharon and
 Mir. and Mrs. Bridgeman of Norfolk
 Dispense Happiness and Good Cheer.

"h o'1 Nh ss 1ifo6SHfah VI NofNoiN
 Dispense Happiness and Good Cheer.
 MT. and Mrs. George W. Hertzel of Sharon deserve the oommendation of the public at large and they have the gratitude of upwards of 400 children in sharon and vicinity.
 On Sunday morning it was announced from the different pulpits in the town of Sharon that on Wednesday evening, De- cember 26, there would be at the Casino at Sharon Christmas tree and enter tainment. All children in the township were invited to attend and the building was filled to its utmost capacity by the motley throng which gathered. The children were entertained by MT. Ste vens of Danbury, and when the tree had been relieved of its attractive fruit, a happier lot of youngsters never lived than those who were present on this oc- casion.
 MT. and Mrs. Hertzel have the con gratulations and the approhation of THE NEWS for evidencing this spirit of chari- ty and liberality. The invitation was one broad in its scope. It included all children in the township; none were barred except those who had been expos ed to contagious disease.
 MT. and Mrs. Bridgman of Norfolk did in Norfolk and at the Gilbert Home in Winsted what NIT. and Mrs, Hertzel did in Sharon. At winsted there were sleds, watches, horns, drums, pictures, games, etc., etc, enough for 275 or 800 children. In the foreground were three wheelbarrows piled high with oranges and four sledloads of Christmas boxes of candies, one of each for all the children.
 The program was one of the most pleasing ever presented by the children and showed that those having 1t in charge had put in a lot of hard work.
 This is one of the many ways in which people of wealth can do much good, pro vide much joy for thschildren and make life more worth the living.
 Litchfield has several liberal hearted kindly disposed people of this sort. and we can but believe that opposite their names on the Book of Deeds will be re- corded due credit for their having en- deavored to tighten the burdens of their fellow men and 10 instill mirth, cheer and encouragement into the lives of those who may be more or less lonely, discouraged or oppressed. Would that we could hasten the day when more peo- pie would make use of their wealth in this manner.

and subscriptions to a building fund were asked for. The responses were go generous that the officers thought it.de- sirable to go ahead with the work al once, ground being broken for the.base- ment on May sl, 1906. and the corner stone laid with impressive services on June 2l following. After that timeIthe work of building progressed rapidly and the Congregational people have chapel in every way adequate to their needs

Superior Court of United States De-
 cides Against Application for Writ. The suit of Myron W. Andrus of Sheffield vs The Berkshire Power Com pany, in which application was made to the Supreme Court of the United States for writ of oertiorari whereby this court would review the case. has been decided in favor of the Power Company. The Circuit Court has refused to grant the injunction which decision was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals MT. Andrus sought to cause the removal of the company $ dam across the Housatonic river near Canaan.
 This was his Court of last resort.
 In the suits of Patrick Hughes and John A. Griffith also of Sheffield against the company practically the same prin- ciple IS involved as in the Andrus case.

WANTS TO GROW
Independent Telephone Company to
 Ask for Right to Expand.

The Pennington Valley Telephone Company, the largest independent con- cern of its kind operating in Connecticut will ask the coming general assembly for the right to extend its business into any town in the state, request which means that the prolonged fight between the Southern New England and the in- dependent concerns will be renewed dur ing the coming session. The present law prevents the company from building lines in towns other than those in which it now operates. It desires that it be placed on the same footing as the South ern New England company which prHo- ticslly covers the state.
 And then there are rumors that tho Southern New England Company own a considerable part of the Farrnington Valley stock. If this be the case. it is probably only matter of time before the heindependent company will be absorb by the s. N. E.

FOR PURE ELECTIONS
Commission Changing Corrupt Prac-
 tees Act Makes Recommendations.

tees Act Makes Recommendations
 The commission appointed last year to take in consideration the existing laws relating to primaries and the laws pro- hibiting corrupt practices at elections, both in this state and elsewhere, and to report to the general assembly of 1907 such bill or bills or such supposed legis- lation as in their opinion were required and are best calculated to secure fair nominations and elections, and to pre- vent corrupt practices at primaries and elections" Is reported to have agreed unanimously upon 10 changes in the ex- isting laws relating to corrupt practices and to have drawn a conservative direct primary act with which to begin the ex- pertinent of direct nominations.
 It is said the reports will cover the ground and make it easy for members of the general assembly to judge of the conclusions reached with the least amount of trouble
 The only information which can be had at the present time relates 10 the corrupt practices law. Three are still phases of the direct primary act to dis cuss and determine. Among the reoom- mendations which il Is said the com mission will make is one forbidding cor porations and all judges, except judges of probate, to contribute to political funds Judges of probate are excepted because they are elective officers at pres ent, and since the commission admits the right of candidates for office to use money, under expressed limitations, to bring their candidates to the notice of the public it would be inconsistent to in- clude judges of probate under the pro- hibition.

A annn srGGrsrroN.

In a recent issue of The Huntsville Mercury we find the following letter from Nr. R. E. Pettus:
 A few years ago there were men liv. ing in Huntsville that knew and could tell many thrilling incidents in connec- tiou with the history and early settle- nient of this city and of the State Of conversant with the city's aftairs for more than half century. I believe there should be organized here Huntsville Historical Society for the purpose of promoting the collection and preservation of matters pertaining to her history and vicinity. There are pa- pers and addresses now obtainable considered almost vaiueiess oy tneir ,Ir become priceless. VIII not the de- scendents of noble ancestry preserve record of their u1eritorious deeds? MT. Editor, what say you and others?
 This Is an excellent suggestion, and it applies with equal force to all the counties and cities in Alabama. In all sections there may yet be found some men or women whose memories and recollections go back to the early days of our State. They can call to mind incidents and occurrences which should not be forgotten. And in a great many families can be found papers and rec ords of historical importance which may be scattered and lost at the death of the present keepers. These old pa pers are still kept. and, as Mir. Pettus says, there are records of this kind which would in the future be priceless, but which are now considered of little value
 gIe only practicable method of gath iEg and preserving data which will fur nisn something like complete history of AlaESma is by organized effort. A man may have an old letter, deed or other document which he thinks is of no interest to any but himself. but which would supply valuable link in making up history. An organization which will so to work systematically to get together and preserve all data of the past that can be obtained will do an invaluable work. not only for it's own Immediate vicinity 'and time, but fof all the State and for the future.
 The old people who know something of &he past. either by experience, ob- servation or records, are fast passing away and soon it will not be possible 4o iand one who was living when Ala hama became a State, CT even one whose memory carries him back to tho days when the white man and the red man were contending for the right to exist on our soil. But a few years lonker and no man or woman can be found who saw or heard one of the In- dian natives who were here seventy years ago, and then a few more years win take from us those who went through the trials and hardshlps of tho great war between the States. Let historical societies be organized as the only means of perpetuating Alabama history.
