NEW IRON BRIDGE
To Be Built Over Pachaus River at
 HopeVille.

An adjourned meeting of the town of Griswold was held in the town hall at Pachaug Monday afternoon, FirSt SeIectman James T. Shea presiding. The meeting considered the question of building a bridge over the Pachaug river, at Hopeville. The old bridge (one of the oldest in town. having been built in 1853) collapsed in the west abutment a few weeks ago.
 The Ashland Cotton company was represented by it's superintendent, A. R. Young. accompanied by c. E. Chan dler of Norwich After discussion and expression of opinions, it was voted that the town construct a 40-foot iron bridge over the stream the Ashland Cotton company to meet the expense of building the abutments. If the said Ashland Cotton company deem it nec- essary from their standpoint to erect a longer bridge than forty feet tn sy will be permitted to do so, providins : the extra expense is met by the com . pany The new bridge will be a need ed and substantial improvement anT will be a single span, whereas the old bridge was in fact two bridges, be- ing built from either a'butment to a wide central pier.

The Sadness of Hieh Life.

Those who are often tempted to lift their eyes in envy or even in despair from their lowly life to the high places of those of great wealth or great pow CT, or both combined. may at times take comfort out of the comparison of conditions. If their methods of life, however humble. happen, fortunately, to be ordered on common sense, de- cency and generally to the end of or dinary comfort and security of daily existence, they may, in comparing their state with many others far above them. find occasion to congratulate them selves and to sink back, with possible sigh of content, into their own humble walks with the possibilities of i'm provement always open to many.
 While the very wealthy of the world in many instances do enjoy year after year, all that goes to make life de- sirable of continuance to old age there is, as we all know through the divorce and criminal records, a sad proportion in their lot of the Tniseries of life. The rich of many mansions, of the facilities and luxuqies of seas and lands, of yachts and great touring cars. soon to be followed by the thrills of avia- tion, are in many instances, among the miserable ones of the world.-Cincin nati Enquirer.

BABY GAVE ALARM
For Fire on Franklin Street-Smoks
 in Eyes Made It Restless.

The two tenement houes on Franklin street. occupied by the families of Fred Warren and Felix Blanchette and oWn- ed by Mrs. Ella A. Woooworth; was damaged to the extent of about $500 by fire that broke out at about 12.45 Monday morning. The fire, of uncer- tain origin, but believed to have been caused by mice and matches, broke out in the part occupied by the Warren family. Failure of the fire alarm tele- graph to work properly and trouble with horses caused the 1remen delay in arriving but they did good work when they did get going.
 The fire broke out in a. furnished but unoccupied room. The Warren ba- by gave the first hint of danger by its unea.siness and constant rubbing of it's eyes. which were probably irritated by smoke. The family had plenty of time to get out in safety. The BIanchette family, in the other side of the house, were not to be awakened so easily, however and considerable of a disturb ance was required to arouse them. This family has several children and all got out safely, as the fire had made little progress when discovered.
 The damage, which is fully covered by insurance, vast mostly confined to the room where it originated.

c. A. c. VOTES "No!"
Will Sponsor No Baseball Team Dur
 ing 1910 Season.

Never again, at least not this year is the sentiment Of the members of the Canadian Athletic club as ex- pressed by their votes at a meeting on Sunday when the matter of maintain ing a baseball team the coming sum ner was mp for decision. The vote that the members were practically unanimous in being opposed to run ming a team.
 It has been a losing proposition, they say; tie players are asking prices be- yond reason for their services and we are going to drop out of the game. The club lost money through ba seball last summer and the prospects for next year are not a whit brighter The vote means that there is at least a temporary break, and bad one, in the circuit of the Eastern Connecticut league. There is reason to hope, how ever, that Putnam will still be in that organization when they yell 'Play balli" next summer.
 Though the C. A c will not sup ber of the league or independently, there is the prospect that the many other lovers of the sport in this city will get together and put a team in the field. Tn any event. the oppor- tunity is here if they want to use it. Putnam fans surely want baseball and it is a good thing for the town in many ways, while harmful in none
 The other towns in the league can not see Putnam drop out without re- gret either, for the team has been a drawing card all along the line. They would all miss Putnam. The

A matter of few minutes later the man and the keg were travelling down Main street Fo- gether They used the sidewalk, the man using his hands and feet to guide the keg. Both rolled to a considerable extent and pedestrians took to the sid- ings. The keg did not know the way home as well as the man, and took a few side trips off the walk and into the gutter, and now and again up against the store fronts. The man fol- lowed the "ball" and occasionally fell on it to keep it from going out of bounds. Eventually he zigzagged his way out of the circle of lights. keep ing a dizzy watch of the rolling keg, and in the course of the evening finish ed his trip.

WHITE AND HEFFERNAN
Let Down Easy, Because 1t Was Judge FuIIer's First Day on the Bench.

It is a lucky man, if he happens to be so unlucky as to be arrested, to be the first prisoner to appear before a newly appointed judge; at least that was the case in the Putnam city court Monday morning William White, 31, claiming his home as Providence. was up charged with intoxication.

 Judge L.. H. Fulton started out with his first two subjects with the usually kindly light in his eyes and the soft pedal on. It was intimated by the court that leniencv would mark the first days proceedings and judgment was suspended in both cases and the prisoners ordered re1ea sed if they would agree to get out of town. They agreed.
 Heffernan sold his watch and some of his clothing during the ten days he was in Putnam. Now he has gone back to work.
