The Salvation Army Mission.

Good crowds attended the meeting at the Salvation Army hall last We'd nesday and Thursday nights. The pre- vious announcements of the evening of Captain and Mrs. Robert Thorne, of Norwich, drew large numbers of people to both open air and indoor services. It was somewhat disappointing to all that Mrs. Thorne was indisposed and unable to attend the meeting on We'd nesday night, so 1t was arranged that the Captain and his wife should re- main over for Thursday night when it was hoped that Mrs. Thorne should be well enough to assist her husband in the meeting. But Thursday found her no better, and the Captain again con- dacted the servics without his wife's assistance.
 Interesting meetings, however, were the order, and the desire was expressed by many that Mrs. Thorne should re- turn al some future date.
 The meetings for the weekend were much enjoyed by all, and good crowds attended in spite of the inclement weather.
 Captain and Mrs. Withee are still en- gagged in local relief work, and the de- m ands made upon them are almost more than they can meet, and they wish to invite all who are interested to communicate with them in regard to assisting in this work, either by card or telephone 52-12l.
 The meetings are each week-night at s o'clock, preceded by open-air services when the weather permits.
 Beginning last Sunday, Jan. 23, and continuing until Sunday, Feb. 2sth, every Salvat Corps throughout the country are holding series of meet ings known as the "Siege of the Lost, !" and the local corps Is carrying out this program as far as possible. Ali are in- vited to the services especially on Sun day at 2 and P. m.

work of sneah Thieves.

The wateh-repairing room of J. F. Alexander. in Central block, ,was broken into some time Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The thieves gained entrance by prying open an outer door with jimmy. and removing a large pane of glass from an inner door. The glass and the beading which surround ed il to keep it in place, were carefully set aside so as not to break them.
 Mr. Alexander was in Boston and it could not be ascertained what had been taken until he returned. It was eyi- dent that the safe had not heeu tam pered with. MT. Alexander states that the only goods taken were some plated watch chains and some small articles of jewelry he had in show case, some watch movements and some of his tools. He was very thankful that no goods belonging to customers were taken, and that all was no worse.
 There have been an unusual number of breaks in this section this winter, and although there are at the present time some eight or ten persons in jail awaiting tria on charges of burglary, the breaks continue.
 The George l.. Bradley place, in Pom- fret was broken into early on Sunday morning. Both the main building and the offices, so called, were entered and ransaeked. The buildings were unee- cupied, Mrs. Bradley being al her win ter home in Washington. Drawers, trunks, and closets were broken open and every thing turned npside-down, but until Mrs. Bradley comes to Pom fret it cannot be ascertained what has been taken. Justice Thompson imme- diately communicated with the State police, and Robert Hurley was sent to the scene on the afternoon train, Mon- day, and before the shades of evening began to fall he had William NJ. Lee, of Chaplain, farm hand, in custody confessed burglar. Sheriff Holbrook of this city, accompanied the police lHuilt huu AlcS Wus otouSht to tuAs city and locked him up for the night. After arriving here word was received that the man had in his possession an ugly looking knife. He was asked to deliver it over. At first he denied he had it, but upon being told If he did not deliver 1t he would be searched, he brought forth from his trousers leg an ugly looking dirk in a leather sheath.
 Lee was taken to Pomfret on Tues day morning and tried before Justice Of the Peace Charles O. Thompson. He was charged with burglary on two counts and with carrying concealed weaponss- He pleaded not guilty, but probable cause was found and he was bound over to the Superior Court in sl, ,S00 bonds which he was unable to furnish, and was taken to jail.

wiatham County Commissioners Repor,

At the meeting of the Windham County Republican members of the
 Legislature, heldin Hartford last week {, Sheriff r. E. Sibley spoke of the econ- omical management of the county af-
 fairs under the present Board Of Com
 missioners. The report, which WAS for
 the years l90T-s, ending Sept ist, was summed up as follows.
 'tfhere are no outstanding liabilities,
 and with an inventory of ss4,5 in
 real estate and personal property Of
 s24, ,bl9, our cash balance in the county
 treasury Is sb, ,I95, il net gnin of over
 s4li, anove that of last year, and Of
 S2, ,27i more than two years ago.
 Necessary repairs and improvements
 are constantly being made, both ut tine
 Temporary Home and the Jail. At the
 Jail, new water and steam pipes have
 been installed, replacing those worn
 and rustcd out. The matter of sewage
 at the Jail has been looked after and,
 we think, satisfactorily disposed of. At
 the Temporary Home new ice house
 has been built, long line of wall re-
 laid, and necessary painting and pa-
 pering made inside.
 The inmates of both of our institu- tions have been quite free from sick ness and disease.
 As n quarter of n century has passed since the opening of the Temporary Home for children, It may not be amiss to call attention to the work that k be- ing accomplished by our County Home. Opening as 1t did in November l, 1883, with four children from the town oI
 Thompson, 1t has gradually increased in numbers until it has reached seven ty.fve at two different times. The whole number Of children committed since the opening, k 465. Many of the number that have gone out have found good homes and grown to be useful men and women, some of whom have
 not only received n good education but have, by the death of those With whom they lived, been made heirs te
 the estate by will.
 The farm on which the Home k To.
 caied was purchased in 1886, and was stocked with four cows and two horses, but by reclaiming some three acres ol rough land, we are able to raise Ill ouI vegetables and keep ten cows and three horses.
 We have an efficient corps Of town committees that largely assist the Board Of Management in locating and looking after children placed In family homes. We are convinced that the Temporary Home Is doing good work and should be we'll supported. In the matter of the County Home Library, books to the amount of S60o have been purchased and added to the library In the past two years, making the same valuable asset.
 We take pleasure in reporting the present standing Of our county, an1 feel that our prediction, two and foul
 years ago, that we should remain on .
 self-snstaining basis, is being justified. I f.. If. HALL. l.. II. CoNTTfss, C. E. BAKREE, County Commissioners for Wind
 ham County.

These meetings are open 10 the pao,


 lie.
 The voters have already decided In favor of sewering the city. Charles F.. Chandler. of Norwich, one of the best civil engineers of this State, was em- ployed to plan and lay out sewerage system, which was done, accepted and placed on record. When the question of making an appropriation came UP at a city meeting, at that time, 1t was voted down. Perhaps in the meantime there has been change of sentiment more favorable to the project, and it's discussion will help to enlighten the voters as to it's need to keep the city In perfect state of health. Such, al least has been the declaration of Dr. omer LaRue, our Health officer, on several occasions when il was his duty so to do. We are glad he is te be one of the speakers on the affirmative side. He Is an able ana vigorous speaker and those who hear hum will not be at a loss to understand the merits ot the case, and may help change the minds of those who thought the city was not yet ready to incur the expense.
 We expect II will, as 1t should, attract a largegatheIing of voters, for every ono Is interested, and if Il Is seen that the voters take a decided staad, one way or the other, when the discussion k end ct. there will he aequiescence--io. n more favorable time, If defeated, but If adopted, to take the necessary steps to have the sewerage system built, which in itself will require good deal of time.
 There Is another matter that should be taken up for immediate discussion, and that is the revision of our city char ter. There are many things that the voters have learned since 1t was adopt ed that are not n. all satisfactory, and should be changed. lt should be done before the Legislature adjourns.

Windham Cnupty Com miss toner.

The Republican members of the Le- gislature held special meeting on Tuesday at the Capitol, to nominate a County Commissioner to succeed F.. H. Corttis, of Thompson, whose term expires this year.
 der, and chairman appointed, nomi- nations were in order.
 Representative Nick achnie, of Put nam, put in nomination Leon T. Will son, City Clerk of Putnam. There was sentiment for change in the county commissionefship he said. For forty three years the city of Putnam had been without the honor of having a County Commissioner, and he thought it time the office came there. He had no fault to find with the report of the Commissioners, who were men of abil- ity, honesty and integrity. There were plenty of good men in the county-in fact the woods were full of them.
 Senator Searls agreed that the woods were full Of good men, but he felt that in this day of progress when the ten- dency is to retain men faithful in service, when office Is becoming more and more public trust than poiifi- cal place. A faithful public servant. thoroughly fitted for the office should be retained. He nominated E. H. Coft- tis, of Thompson.
 Oliver 4. Hiscox, Of Woodstock, was nominated; and although there were printed ballots distributed for William F. Kelley, of kiIiingly, no one nofni- mated him. The vote resulted: Csfttis, l2 Wilson, Hiscox. George D. Brown, NIT. Eorltis having majority of all the votes, was declared the nominee. IL was voted to have Representative ; Child, of Thompson, introduce reso- Iution for his nomination.

CORRECT MOURNING FOR MEN.
Period Of Wearing Is Shortened and
Is Less Conspicuous.
From the Haoerdashe'

frOm tne iApeIudsuer.
Whether We approve or not. IL is unde-
niably true that the period of mourning
is being shortened and the evidences
made less conspicuous than in the years
Of the past. Only rarely nowadays do
men wear emblems Of grief for persons
outside Of their immediate family.
First mourning for a wife covers a year
and for other relatives six months. Dur
ing the first period only black and white
effects are permissible. The scheme calls
for deem batband, white shirt. either plain
or with black stripes. and black suit. over
coat waistcoat half hose. gloves and
shoes.
The second period of mourning lasts
six months for a wife and three months
for any other relative. In this time gray
Is correct and the mourning band is not
worn on the hat Black End white eneots
as well as gray are allowable
The brassard or sleeyeband IS in exceed
fnely bad form. 1t originated In England
as an expedient for servants and others
who could not afford entire change or
outfit.
Attendance az social affairs OF cere-
monious character is not expected during
the first period of mourning. III circum-
stances make il necessary the only change
from customary ueage is In daytime.
black gloves and cravat. instead of gray.
and in the evening cloth band. not Six
on the silk hat.
BLACK tie and waistcoat should not he
substituted In the evening for the white.
nor are black studs and links or Dlack-
bordered handkerchiefs any longer APP
proved These things savored OF paradinS
sorrow and have wisely been anandoheo.
The primary purpose of black is TO pre-
vent such embarrassment as might arse
from ignorance of bereavement on tho
part Of those met.

GYPSY SMITHS ENGLISH HOME.
Beautiful Hedged-in Garden Of Roses
a Picturesque Feature.

Rev. A. III. Armstrong. in Chicago Advance.
I stretched my week end in London
for few hours to see Gypsy Smith now
in this country, not in the pulpit. but In
the garden. 1t took two train hours Z.
Cambridge and two taxicab minutes to
Romany Tan. A big. dark man in his
shirt sleeves ran out calling, 'Helloi
Here's Mr.. Armstrong;" We were fairly
lifted out and borne bodily In.
The gypsy tent is double two-story
red brick cottage, slated and chimney
potted. There are white bays all around.
with small panel easement windows and
quaint white porch pillars. The rooms
are high and spacious The kitchen has
a hob" There is an air of comfort and
substantially. typical Of English homes.
The acre or two OF garden is walled by
a high. thick hedge. 1t tanks the house
in front by a trim lawn and an expanss
Of fern-grown rock. At the rear II goes
rioting mad with leaf and bloom and
fruit. Is il soil or air cultivation thae
makes these English gardens? There are
pears, apples cherries. huge gooseberries.
currants and sweet English strawberries.
There are big-leaved potatoes. rank peas
and BROAD beans" that look like limas
growing on balsam plants. And roses.
roses, roses.
wrote my wife that there were more
roses in Gypsy's garden than In all Oak
Park and / think that Is literally true.
There were dwarf roses and tree roses,
climbing and running roses. roses on tres
ties and fences and a rose that smothered
the rear house wall with thousands OF
blooms. There were white and crimson
ramblers. pale damasks. red Marechal
NieIs, queenly American Beauties. scar
let chinas, creamy La Frances deep rose
pink Duchess de Brabants. big modest
brides and Malmaisons, pride OF the
house Of Bourbon.
Under an arbor with a thatch OF roses
q foot deep we sat down to English tea
from under a ''cozy." The thin buttered
bread and tea cake were served from the
curate's delight" a three-story cake bas-
ket We dipped 'three-bite" Strawberries
In sugar and thick, yellow cream. holding
them by the stems. We were much
amused by a talented gray parrot which
kept calling, Master, come home: where's
the old boy?" and singing snatches OF the
hymn, Saved by Grace"
