Plans for Alumni Day.

Invitations are being prepared for every graduate of Windham high school to come back and spend the day, December 23, Alumni day. Ow- ing to the congested condition of the high school building the programme that Is being arranged will be carried out in the Town hall.
 The exercises will begin in the aft- ernoon at 1 o'clock and will include addresses by Reuben H. Bowden TO, president of Die Besserung; by Rob- ert H. Fenton, president of the Wind ham High School Alumni association, and by Supt. F. w. Beede of New Ha- ven, former principal of the local school. The musical programme will include numbers by the Girls Glee club of the school, double quartette from the school and a trio from the Wipdham high school orchestra.
 At the close of the exercises in the afternoon a business session of the Alumni association will be held and the days pleasures will be finished with social and dance in the Town hall in the evening with music fur nished by Helmolds orchestra.
 Principal John J. Maddox will have the full details of the exercises for the day arranged soon.

The Awful Pail of the Arctic Night.

Things are tending, either by acci- dent or design, in way so that Dr. Cook will be able soon to extricate him. self from the painful predicament by the plea of mental responsibility. The reports of his nervous breakdawn, the absurd imagining of plots against him and his precious records, and his re- tirement to a place of rtsi and quiet to recuperate from the effects of wor- ry and overwork are a natural or de- liberate preparation of the popular mind for some such expectation of the explorers unaccountable conduct. The theory that the Arctic life, if pro- tracted, often upsets the mind is gen. erally accepted, and any effect of the awful year that Dr. Cook must have spent in darkness and solitude after his return from wherever he went, that might appear, would be regarded as within the limits of reasonable con- sequence. Harry Whitney, the New Haven hunter, describes in the De- cember Outlook these efftcts in an im- pressive paragraph, as follows:
 ''No words can adequately describe the awful pail of the Arctic night; it is unreal and terrible. The continued darkness brings with it a fearful still ness. over which seems to brood im- pending doom-something intangible, indescribable. uncanny. Intense and severe as the cold may be, any active man can stand 1t without serious suf- fering, for that acts only on the phy- sical being and can be guarded against, but the prolonged sunless night has a dire effect upon the mind, which only exercise and diversion can counter act"
 This is enough to account for Dr. Cook, If he needs accounting for, as he will need to be accounted for if he continues to lose ground as he is los- ing 1t through his failure to prove his claim.-Waterbury American.

shooting for baskets was excellent, with the exception of his attempts for free tries. In th's department Wind had was lamentdbly weak. Burns played hard, but had a worthy adver- sary in Brooks, who kept him busy. Each secured a basket from the floor. Captain Richmond got Marland's goat early in the contest and played a much better game than did the Killingly captain. A feature of the game was a basket from the center of the hall by Richmond Marland still continues to try to get away with the two-hand dribble for which he was so noted last season. Toward the close of the game Killingly was pretty well in and the few opportunities that its players had to shoot went for naught in every instance with single exception when Burton shot fine clean basket from a difficult angle. although he was ab- solutely uncovered at the time. Mar land shot fairly well from free tries, obtaining percentage of 300.
 One of the genuine surprises of the game was the fine playing of Green for Windham. This was the first regular or substitute and he clung to his man closer than a brother and also did much effective work in pass ing and caged two baskets. Wander man and Downer were the weakest spots on the home team, although they played well for new men and with proper coaching will come along all right The latter is a little more ag- gressive.

REPORTS FROM LABOR UNIONS
State Bureau of Statistics Shows that There are 1,172 Organizations in Massachusetts.

A report on labor organizations, forming the second part of the thir- ty-ninth annual report of the state bu- reau of statistics. has been isssued. It is one of the most comprehensive doc- uments of It's kind published in Mas sachusetts, and may be obtained at the state house. Of the 113 interna- tional organizations which have char tered locals in Massachusetts all but four replied to the injuries of the bu- reau. The internationals having each more than thirty chartered locals in Massachusetts were the following: United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, 131; Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers, 66; Boot and Shoe Workers Union, 60; Bricklayers and Masons' international Union, 50; International Brotherhood of Teamsters. A: United Textile Workers, fl; Hotel and Restaurant Employees International Alliance and Bartenders' International League, 3S; Retail Clerks International Protective Association, 35.
 There has been no such thing as uniform increase or decrease in labor unions in this state in the past five years. In 1904 there were 1420. in 1905, 1,2ss, in 1906, 1,S40, in 1907, 1869 and in 1908, 1884. In the period of industrial depression beginning in the latter part of 1907 a large number of unions either disbanded or amalga- mated with other local organizations in the same locality, and comparative ly few unions were organized in that period.
 There are 11,625 women members of trades unions in this state, and of this number, 3,S93. or 3s.46 per cent, are boot and shoe workers. But the cotton mill operatives form a close second with 3.457, or 3415 per cent. The remaining 27.39 per cent. are di- vided among cigarmakers and strip pers, garment workers, retail clerks, musicians and actresses, hotel and restaurant employees, compositors, bookbinders laundry workers, tailors and dressmakers, and railroad tele- graphers.
 Of the 1,172 unions in Massachu- setts, 109 contain both sexes and five are composed of women solely.-Bos- ton Transcript.

 son, % to 9.
 Windham high completely surprised her most ardent admirers Wednesday afternoon when her basketball team soundly trouneed the team from Kill ingly high school of Danielson, of which so much was expected, and all most succeeded in shutting out the visitors without goal from the field in either half, they just managing to get a lone one in each.
 The crowd that witnessed the game in the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium was not as large one as on the occasion when Putnam highs representatives were defeated here by the local five in it's opening contest, although it was hardly less enthusiastic. and the young ladies of the school sang and cheered with viu that must surely have been encouraging to the players who were fighting for the honor of Windham high.
 During the first half the playing was very fast and pretty clean aside from the fact that both teams repeatedly had two men on the ball. Killingly was completely outclassed from whis- tie ito whistle and all of the Windham players covered in grand style most of the time. They showed a great deal more life and ginger than at any time this season and the possibilities for good outfit by midseason are very bright. Jordan was the most conspic- uous man on the floor and has at last woke up. His play, all around gener- ally was the best that he has ever displayed on the local floor and his
