As spring approaches the committee
in charge are considering further plans
forimproving the piece OF land recently
purchased. To do this they will tie
obliged to collect all remaining unpaid
pledges. While the majority Of pledges
have been paid, there are few out
standing. Among them are those of a
number Of school children, who volun-
tered TO contribute small amounts "a
they wished their names Identified
with tins first public improvement Of
its kind In Putnam. IL Is doubtless
thoughtlessness ON the part Of many OF
these, and we therefore take this occa-
sion TO remind them that their pledges
are now needed To complete the work
so the park may be opened 10 the pub
lie. No matter how small the sums
may be, they will be gladly received nj
once By the committee. II is hoped by
the time spring opens that enough will
he received 80 that the work Of filling
grading and seeding may be compile
led.

Captain and Mrs. " ithee take great
pleasure in announcing for Saturday

onel Adam Clifford, commanding the
forces Of the Salvatson Army through
out New England. BY reason of a mul-
titude of engagements throughout this
large field il has been impossible for
Colonel Clifford TO arrange for visit 10
Putnam, although Captain Withee
made application some months ago.
Colonel Clifford is an American train
ed officer of the Salvation Army, ana
has been serving in its ranks for nearly
quarter of century. Early develop
ing qualities necessary to successful
leadership he has for many years been
in positions of responsibility and in his
present trying position has planned
and carried out mighty advances in the
work in New England within few
months. He is an effective preacher
and is loved by all who know him.
The Colonel,will be accompanied here
by several members of his staff and by
the Boston Provincial Headquarters

ments for a grand Salvation Army Mu-
sicale to be held in the Odd Fellows
Hall, ON SATURDAY evening, March p,
al So'elock.
1t is being arranged to hold several
meetings in various churches, TO be
conducted by Colonel Clifford and menu
hers of his staff, on Sunday morning
and at o'clock in the afternoon agreat

converted Jew, will be unable to come
to Putnam and aid in conducting the
campaign planned to commence this

There was considerable comment on
the street last Friday, when IL became
known that Fred III. Wood had been
arrested by the State Police ON the
same charges for which he was tried
and acquitted in the city court, this
city, February 1Sth--that of receiving
and cencealing stolen goods knowing
them to be stolen. This time the war
tiles. Wood waived hearing, and was
bound over to the Superior court. The
bond was furnished by Richard Ger
man, and was given in this city. On
what evidence the officers of the law
rely To again put Wood in jeopardy for
the same offence is what is causing a
deal of the comment.
When seen by a reporter Wood said
they had made the arrest but he didn't
see how they had a right to after he
had once been acquitted They had ar
rested him, he said, ON the same old
charges. He waived hearing because
he knew he would be bound over any
way. He regrets ever going into the
liquor business. and says II he had
taken the advice of his best friends and
that of his wife he would have kept out
of IL and the trouble would never have
happened. He had lived here good
many years and had never been in any
troubled before and he feels his present
predicament most keenly. Asked If he
had sold out his liquor business, as ru-
NOR had II, he said net yet, but he was
making arrangements to do SO. lie
didn't want any more of II.
1t was again rumored on Monday
that Wood had once more been arrest
ed. This proved to be the fact, but II
was only technically this time, be-
cause the officers had decided that in
taking the bond In this city instead of
taking their man and his bondsman to
Pomfret, from whence the warrant Of
arrest had issued, they had not follow
ed the statute, SO Wood was taken to
Pomfret, and the formallties of bind
ing him over were again gone through.

Taylor's Legislative S0uvenlr.

In the Norwich Bulletin of March
18th Is lengthy notice Of "faylor's
Legislative Souvenir In Its legislative
reports, endeavoring to show that the
value of that book, and Its Importance
rs a historical summary of reference Is
not understood or appreciated by the
press of the state, or they would not
object 10 the appropriation made by
the Legislature for It's payment.
We object TO printing the notice. rs
requested, for two reasons. First, the
value and Importance Of the Legisa-
tive Souvenir Is mol in question. II IL
were worth twice what II cost IL would
have no bearing on the attacks made
on William Harrison Taylor, by por-
ton of the State press, because he was
a beneficiary of the $1,000 appropriated
TO pay the cost of his book.
The second reason why we refuse to
print the notice III, because the reason
for the attack made ON Mr.. Taylor Is,
that the Senate and House OF Rcprcsen-
tatives illegally aud knowingly nppro-
priaied $4,000 To pay for book that
they individually should have paid for
and not the Taxpayers of the State.
The notice juslitics the condemned APP
preparation after the Legislature has
Withdrawn the $1,000 appropriation
on the ground Of its being made Illegal
ly on the declaration Of the Attorney
General OF the State. Further than
that, the writer Of the notice defends
Mr. Taylor from participating In the
graft because his book IN worth all he
got for IL. Indirectly admitting that
Mr.Taylor participated In the graft but
Is free from any WRONG because me paid
bnck dollar for doIlafaaII he received of
the graft.
Mr.. William Harrison Taylor had
nothing to do, and could have had
nothingsto do, In the means the menu
beers resofted to In getting the money
required TO pay him for his book, that
was the exclusive act OF THE members
OF the Legislature. II there IL any
thing wrong in what they did--inlen-
tionaIl or unintenlionaliy--tbey alone
are 10 bear the sole blame.
We are not trying to defend Mr.. Tay-
lof, we are not called upon 10 defend
him, for there IL nothing more laid to
his charge than that he received his
pay for his book that no one asserts Is
not worth all that he received for IL.
Those papers who abuse Mr.. Taylor
for accepting legitimate pay for his
book, might NJ justly abuse those mer-
chants who furnish the members Of the
with various kinds Of goods |
that the latter are openly charged with |
toi their personal use or
bestow them 70 friends, and are paid !
for as Mr.. Taylor's books were paid |
for. That would be made dear and too |
costly for them. But Mr.. Taylor, he |
cannot help himself. They can kick |
and buffet him around rs they please |
without apprehension OF trouble. And
why? They are aiming their bitter |
shafts at him, but intending them for |
those who, II any, are the ones who
are squandering the peoples money for
personal advantage. but are too discreet
10 say all they wish directly, bat can
Indirectly on p,or Taylor without fear.
