LICENSES GRANTED BY
 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
One on Tuesday and Others at Prev
 ous Session in This City.

ous Session in This City.
 On Tuesday the board of county commissioners granted license to w. c. Smith of Sprague. At previous session here they granted licenses to the following: D. O'Connell & O.. 43 West Main street; John J. O'Neil fl Hickory street; William H. Callahan. Sherman street: John B. Cyr. 467 North Main street: Henry J. Kilroy, West Town street: Edward c. Madden, 1S4 Franklin street.
 There was also hearing before the board on the remonstrance against the application of Christopher Krauss for a liquor license near the new weave shed of the Ponemah company. It was opposed by the company because it will be so near the weave shed as to have a bad effect upon the help. There is no other within quarter of mile. It was thought it would draw the em- ployes during the noon hour and make them unfit for work the rest of the day. MT. Eccles stated that about 400 would be employed in the weave shed and it was proposed as soon as the weave shed is in operation to have work started on other buildings there which would require 400 more en- ployes.
 They did not oppose the license on the grounds that Mir. Krauss was an unsuitable man or that he didn't keep a good place, but because of the effect it would have upon the help. It was said that he is orderly and not law bressSer and keeps his saloon all right but it would be detrimental to the mill and another location would not be op- posed.
 The commissioners reserved their de- cision.

TAT. HOLYOKE ALUMNAE
 HAVE ANNUAL MEETING.
Eastern Connecticut Association Ad- dressed by Miss Burlington, Dean of the CoIlege-offieer Reelected.

There as a large attendance of the Mt. Holyoke alumnae and their friends at the annual meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Mt Holyoke association, which was held at o'clock on Tues day afternoon at the Norwich club house. The president of the associa- tion, Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn. presided at the business meeting. The same officers were reelected for the coming year. Miss Mary Avery, secretary, gave short review of the work of this association during the seven years since it's formation.
 After the business meeting. Mrs. Vaughn introduced her classmate, Miss Florence J. Burlington, dean of Mt. Holyoke callege Miss Burlington said: There are 760 students this year at Mt. Holyoke. It is necessary to apply two years ahead to get a. room on the campus. They turn down sev- eral hundred applications each year. Three new buildings have been added to the campus this last year-a pres idents house. a much needed music building, and Peterson lodge-a home for retired members of the faculty.
 President Wooley puts much stress upon phyical training and matters re- lating to health. Lecturers of eminence upon this subject are secured. One AhLCEGSLluS SlSHl IS the BTOuD Ol SUI dent horseback riders starting for their daily exercise. The dramatic talent of the college is gathered into one club. the number of members being limited to 50. The result is that very effec- tive work is done along these lines. The Christmas concert is wonderful and one of the features of the year. Carols dating from the sixteenth cen- tury to the present time are used by the choir.
 The college settlement chapter is very active. They have fine lecturers. Their work is at the Skinner coffee house in the city of Holyoke This last summer they planned a summer home for the mill and shop girls, some of whom had never had vacation be- fore. The trend of the coD~ye is now toward directed, guided work instead of so much elective work. Many of the scholars think of college life rath- CT than of scholarship and the prep aration which it gives for service in the world. Mary Lyon stood for not the best scholarship but for the truest and noblest character.
 The formal meeting closed with the singing of "Holyoke," with Miss Wood ward at the piano. The City College club was present and after the address joined in the social hour that followed.

 After the collection the elephant was led away and when returned found he had changed color, that the school had met its obligation and the white ele- phant was thing of the past.
