This feature alone is worth much to
the farmer who has perishable fruit to
ship, that necessitates quick transpor-
tation

Dupre has absented himself from the city since the occurrence took place, October 3d, but returned voluntarily and gave himself up.

Obituary.
DEXTER O1.xEY HAWKINS.


 Sawyer District, Saturday, al a. m.s Dexter Oiney Hawkins passed away at the age of A years.
 He, with Mrs. Hawkins and many friends and neigbbors, attended husk- ing there on Thursday evening. He was subject to attacks of indigestion, and one came on there, and he grew worse SO rapidly that il was not possi ble to get him home. He had also A slight heart trouble, and the coInbiEa ton Of the two proved fatal, although he had the best medical attendance at tainabIe.
 Mr. Hawkins was born April 18th, 1888, at West Glocestef, R. l., in the house where he has always lived. His parents were Henry A. and -elinda fOlneyj Hawkins. He was married 1s years ago to Helen Elizabeth Gut Ter, daughter of Fred and Georgiana
 f5teadJ Cutler. They have one son, Henry, years old.
 While MT. Hawkins lived few hnf : dred feet over the line, in Rhode fsl- and, his associations and business ia- terests were largely in Putnam and eastern Connecticut He was the ac. tive manager of the extensive wood and lumber business Of II. A. Hawkins 4 Sons, associated with his brother. E
 MT. Hawkins WAS naturally leader among men of splendid physique and until within few years he never ac. knowledged a superior among his asso- eiates, where muscle and agility were concerned, and when heart difficulty developed, confidence in his strength led him to take chances that ultimate Iy caused his death. Ever soiicitous for the comfort and welfare of others he seldom thought Of himself.
 One Of the clergymen at the funeral service said "Iength of life should be reekoned by good deeds rather than lapse of time.n Looking over his life from that standpoint, he had indeed lived long. None in need ever sought him iu vain. Generous lo q fault, sym pathetic to a point that made him sought bs all that were in trouble. as they were always sure to find in him friend.
 To those who knew him best, hls strength of character, temperance, pn fity and tender heme-life, appealed most strongly
 While allied with Inc dominant par ty MT. Hawkins steadily refused to take public otiiee, rather preferfing to enjoy 4 day III the woods with I con genial com paninn and his faithful dogs, than mix in public life. skilled in wood craft, every tree, hifd or sound was All opeh book to him.
 Funeral services were held Tt his home in West Gloeeslef. k. l ., Tuesday At one P. m. The venerable Elder John aihan Eldridge, who preached i'll the nearby church as long as il was tena. ble, who had been the family pastor for three generations, assisted by Rev. F. D. Sargent, of Putnam, conducted the service.
 Floral offerings were profnse and beautiful-relaiiyes, friends and busi- ness associates sending Tributes.
 The bearers were A. II. iIoughton, C. Allen Hawkins, John +. Carpenter, l.. N. Joslin, Major A. D. Melntyre, and John Q. Fox.
 Burial was at the East Putnam eem. etery where all his family are buried.

 Saturday night between eleven and twelve o'clock IN m employe ef the theatre was going down l'emffet street he heard gtoans, and upon iaNestigat- ing he found a man back of nearby building in semi. conscious state. policeman Was notified aud the man taken to the lookup. \ doctor was summoned and said the man ought to be taken where he could be cared for, and he was taken to his home in Quad ic. An examination disclosed thnt the m m had been tearfully used His head was badly bruised and cut, both eyes were closed, swollen, and hiackened, his throat was puifed and swollen and showed the imprint of finger marks, se that lie could hardly swallow, there were great bruises on his side and back, and was suffering from internal injuries. He Is still in a critical con dition but it k thought that he will rc- cover. Apparently he had been thrown down and jumped on with heavy boot heels.
 The affair has proved rather mystet- ious and no facts concerning the mat ter have come to light, the victim be- ing unable 10 remember anything of what occurred. IL was learned that he was sitting in n saloon asleep, and he was put out when closing time came. No noise of scuitie WAS heard, and nothing was known Of the matter un- til the mans groans attracted atten- ton as stated above. He had bottle Cf whiskey, n watch, and thirty cents in change which were not disturbed, but is thought he had bills which were gone,
 There k evidently gang of thugs hanging about the city and vicinity ready To attack anyone when oppor- tunity offers, or for any sort of crime Reports of holdups have been coming in to police headquarters for number of weeks. A man was recently held up and robbed near the cemetery, the g home of k. IT. Buliard was attacked, the railroad stations in Pomfret and Abingdon burglarized, and only Tues day night local engineer, who takes his engine al the round-house about midnight, was seeking permission from the authorities Ia carry revolver, as he stated he had several times been held up and asked for money, and even his lunch demanded of him. Each une he had frightened the men of by making n motion towards hip pock- el and threatning to bore them full of holes. The bluif has worked all right so far but the engineer is afraid IL may be called and he wants 10 he ready to make good. He says that one would be surprised al the number of men he meets after midnight on his way down School street. There are other such eases on record, and doubtless others ,siai have never heen reported.

CongregatlonaI Church Notes

\ large audience gathered iu the church last Monday evening to listen to concert given by the choir. AL though concert of this kind k a little out of the ordinary, and the rule that "a prophet Is mol without honor except in his own country and among his own people" applies equally well t0 H company of singers, yet the exception prevailed in this ease, for the most en- thusiastic admirer of our singers could not have criticized adversely the reeep- ton they received or the need Of praise that was accorded them. The pro gram was an excellent one, both In the variety and character of the selections.
 1t could not have been improved and while "The Whistler and His Dog caught the public favor, every one could appreciate and be pleased with the more delicate and digniiied mum bers. IL would be invidious to make comparisons of the singers or to em- phasize one above another, since all
  The choir and it's director are to be congratulated not only in securing the finaneial return they sought, but at the same time winning laurets for them selves because of the merit of the en. tertainment. IL may not have been noted, but il k fact that the entire program was given by the choir with out the help of outside parties. We shall look forward with pleasure to all. other evening of song from the same source.
 An amusing entertainment, entitled "'rhe Snow Gap Sisters, is to be given under the auspices of the Ladies Social Circle, next Wednesday evening, in the chapel, at x o'clock. Mistress Snow certainly deserves a large audience, as she presents her attractive daughters, whose accomplishments must be seen to be fully appreciated, and no one should fail to improve this opportuni- ty of meeting the distinguished fami- ly. Another pleasing feature of the evening will be several selections by Halls, Orchestra, and you do not want to miss this opportunity to hear some fine music. !" \ little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

Odds and Ends.

Lace curtains should always be soaked
for an hour in cold water, to which a
little borax has been added, before being
Numbered. This removes the smoky odor.
as well as appearance, and cleanses them
effectively.
A small lump of camphor placed in the
oil vessel will improve the light of a
lamp and make the flame clearer and
brighter.
nice pudding may be greatly inn
proved by adding a raw egg, well beaten,
into the boiled ingredients In the proper
ton of one egg to each person to be
served.
A recipe for paste that will never dry
nor turn sour is one teaspoonful of pow
dered alum and 10 drops of Glove oil ad-
ded to pint of very smooth. thick paste.
Where the hands are concerned, oat-
meal powder should invariably be added
to the water in which they are washed,
while diluted glycerine should be rubbed
in after the skin has been well dried
Where lace or embroidery insertion is
used for trimming, place a fiat steel or
case knife between the insertion and ma
terial, run the scissors along the steel
You will find it will be easier to cut the
material and prevent all possibility of cut
ting the lace.
