She lived with her mother in the house with Rhodes c. Allen until her mother died, and in fact until Mrs. Allen needed the rooms. Then sine moved into the house with John "A. Dady, and later made another move, but as her health be- came poor her neice persuaded her to give up fier home and come to her, wheresshe has had . pleasant home and the best of care.
 Miss Trowbridge's old friends inPut- nam have missed her from her accus- toned place in the Baptist church, which had been her church home fof so many years. Having lived in the town from its starting she has taken deep interest in all it's enterprises, and it's weekly paper was read to the last with great eagerness. The past year has been one Of great suffering, and the release was blessed one to her.
 The funeral was held Saturday after noon al 2.so, few relatives, neighbefs and friends coming together for 1t. Rev. Mir. Tolman of the Congregations al church conducted the service, which he made doubiy impressive by singing the two hymns, .a Nearer, My God To Thee. and as-ayed by 6faee, which lie had sung to Miss Trowbridge few days before.

Wake il x Flag Day as well As rss pay

At q meeting af tae ladies tn charge oi the Tag Day arrangements held ea Monday afternoon, it was decided that as the object for which the work Na- being done was a patriotic oaes 1t would further the interes, io make the day In a measure Flag Day also. Ntth this end in view every one tn the town who has fiag of any kind, is requested to throw ii to the breeze Saturday. Those who have no flags can perhaps decorate theif windows in the national coiors. using cloth or tissue paper. About one hundred young ladies will be engaged that day in distributing the red. white and blue badges of honor. in the form of tags. which 1t Is hoped every man, woman and child wilt wear. to show they have contributed towards making the desired improvement.
 The young ladies who sell the tags will be provided with small sealed boxes with an opening at the top through which the purchaser of a tag deposits his own money, each and all according to their ability.
 The Worcester Telegram in helping te make Tag Day success in that city ran for several days heavy headlines as follows.
 Tens of Thousands should give Si 10 ss Thousands should give Sl0 10 S5o Hundreds should give si0o to 500 Many should give sioeo Immeftalize the name of dear one by giving 5000 The whole city is looking for the
 person to give sloooQ Of course the above figures the com mittee expect will hc modified some what to meet our demands, but the thought of the day is to let every one have hand in the good work, for good work il certainly Is when any person or persons, exert themselves for the purpose of retaining an nnsightly spot and giving 1t to the city with it's improvements.
 Let no one worry for fear that too much money will be raised, as it is hoped by the committee that there may be not only enough raised by this union of effort to finish the work near our falls, but to start a nest egg toward a larger park in some other part Of our city.
 The money will be in safe hands as the following gentlemen are to act as counters: C. Harold Gilpatrie, Silas NJ. Wheelock, John F. Byrne. When the boxes .afe nnsealed hy them, the amount after counting will be turned over 10 Charles II. Brown, treasurer of the Citizens Committee The bond for n deed to the property is in the hands of Mir. Brown, and will be held by him nntil all the improvements are made and in shape to turn over to the city free of all encumbranee.
 The red, white and blue boxes to be used Tag Day by the young ladies, are strong handsome well finished sealed bOAts, Niin Siul III hht top th'kc enough to receive silver dollar. They are certainly very suitable for use that day, and show the ability of our local box factory to furnish boxes for all oc- casions. The gifl of l5O of these boxes by Philip l.. Benoit, the manager, shows his interest in Tag Day. NJ. K. Joys ,''Red Wing auto was volunteered several days ago 10 assist in the work of Tag Day. Among oth- CTS recently offered are those owned by Dr. F. A. Morrell, Dr. J. E. Kent, and C. NJ. Kent. Doubtless others will be offered if needed, as every one seems willing to help make the day sue cess. toM.

 II could not he expected, however, that such an elaborate program would mature in young hands alone. The pleasure Of the evening was entirely due te the kind thoughtfalness Of Miss Adele Murray, who has heen working for the interest of Notre Dame in many ways during the past months.
 The girls declate that the pleasure they had in the preparation was ade- quaie te the joy the sisters experienced in the production. As an opening number, Miss Murray cleverly intro daced the performers, and told in her in store. Her address was certainly the number of the program. Then fol. lowed surprises Tor the sisters in charge of The music department, who could only exelaim, "When did they learn such pretty selectlons9a An equal treat was tn store for the clocution teacher, who marseled at the novel and quaint style of reeitations, and the display of talent where she had not looked for it.

 1.-The first game Of football 10 be played in this city in . number of years, was played on Tstem's lot last Saturday afternoon between picked teams from Webster and this city. When 1t was time to play large crowd had gathered, bat the Putnam team was three men shy. Recruits were soon forthcoming, although 1t was very raw material, and the spec tators looked fo see Putnam pushed about the field at will by their husky opponents. This was not the fact, ~ tie local eleven showed superiority over their opponents from the start and daring the fifst half in which neither side seored the play was almost en- tirets in webster's territory. The only scoring came in the last part of the second half. Webster fumbied, s.aw picked up the ball and made touch- down after leading the whole Webster outfit down the field fcrssixty yards.

The Mayor took the bills and picking out that of the City Clerk said that he thought there must be some mistake in il. As the council had not seen lit 10 allow il at graler yearly salary than 500 on a previous occasion he did not see way il wasn't wrong to pay 1t now. II the Clerk had performed eN- tra services he thought the bill should be itimized to show what those services were. If this Is not done 1t will be apt to open up lot of trouble. We have an assistant city clerk appointed by the council and he may feel he is en- titled to it. Asked if there had been extra services the Mayor said the clerk had kept the office open to issue licenses.
 Alderman Dady stated there had always been an assistant clerk ap- pointed but he has never got pay as 1t has been voted to give the extra 5000 to the man that does the work.
 Alderman, Brown said that the coun- cil either ought to change the charter or have the clerks salary confirm to the charter as 1t now stands. It would open the door for other officials to do the same thing. The clerk was allow ed to fix the bill so that the iextra amount would appear for the extra services. The bill, with the others was then ordered paid
 The meeting then adjourned to Dec ember 2i.
