CLASS OF 1900
Presents Beautiful Gift to High School Valued Addition to Art Collection.

Through the generosity of the mem- bers of the class of 1910 a notable addition has been made to the collec- tion of statuary at Killinsly High school. Their gifts, which makes fine memorial among the sculpturai decorations in the assembly hall, are busts of DeTnosthenes and Sophocles, shield and a remarkably fine repro duction of the Urania in the Louvre This last statue is seven feet in height and cost s10o- It Is representative of one of the muses of Greek mythology (the heavenly one), the muse of as- tronomy and celestial forces and the arbitress of fate. second only to Cal Hope in the company of the muses. AS in the original, the cast represents Urania holding staff or compass for indicating the course of the stars. It is to be placed at the rear and on tlre -Sft side of the stage. The busts have been mounted at each side of the artistic clock face over the south side entrance to the hall and the shield over the entrance on the opposite side and between two other busts. Funds from entertainments were used in the purchase of the gifts.
 Since the opening of the new high schoo! the art collection has grown to quite surprising proportions. That this fact Is not generally known is ln- dioated by the small number of the town people that have called to view it. A visit for this purpose alone would be amply repaid All of the casts are of fine texture and have all the detail of the original. They are of the class that have found places in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Art Institute in Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston They are by the most celebrated makers of plastic reproductions of ancient and modern sculpture in this country, and cannot but be an aid in developing the artistic temperament of the students of the school.

 Frost Damages Many Gardens.
 The frost or early Sunday morning Is responsible for widespread damage to crops in the town of Killingly. ACItS OL CCTn dASQ pOt<1tOSS nave DGtn cut down and many other crops have been badly damaged. On the Maindon farm, on the Green Hollow road, an acre of strawberry plants was blight ed; on the Byron Wood farm, on the South Killingly road. a large field of potatoes was nipped. Tomato plants also suffered severely, many losing all they had set out.
 The frost cut unusual pranks in some fields, shipping a row of growing ct. -Irl ol4 z Ill., to leave the mark of its blacfxening presence on alternate hills of other lines of promising garden plants. In other fields long rows of corn were withered between other rows that were not at all affected Some of those who have suffered are undecided as to whether they will allow the undam- aged parts of their crops to continue to go or replant the fields The early date may cause some of them to adopt the latter course.

SENATOR C. E. SEARLES
Not . Candidate for the Republican
 Nomination for Congress.

Senator Charles E. searIes of Thompson and Putnam, state attor- ney for Windham county, Is not, has not been and will not be, a candidate for the republican nomination for con- gressman from the Third district of Connecticut, which includes Win'dham and New London counties. There is no foundation for the predictions that he is coming out for the place. MT. Searles made that perfectly clear when asked about the matter Tuesday aft ernOon and wished that the statement be made just as emphatic as possible.
 MT. Searles was familiar with the fact that he was being mentioned for the place. but it was evident that those who have prenominated him While fully appreciating the honor at tached. Mir. Searles is not even mildly interested in the prospect of going to Wa shington. He Is a busy man at home has a lucrative practice and no inclination to serve in congress. at least not at the present time. The chances are that the Hon. F. W.
