One Night in Brooklyn JaIl

In the issue of the PATRIOT of No- vember 24th appeared an article by Findlay Sackett taken from New York paper. The article was headed "Back to the Soilu and had to do with prospective purchasers trip through Windham county in search of a farm.
 Sackett spent a night some years ago locked in cell at Brooklyn Jail. He found that 1t was not easy to get a nights lodging in cell if you are a law abiding citizen and only through the influence of friendly deputy sheriff was Sackett allowed to sleep behind the bars.
 It was while the late Charles Os good was jailer that Sackett appeared at the jail and asked to be put in cell over night. The iniler said he could put him up but not in cell. As Saekett was leaving Deputy Sheriff Holbrook arrived with prisoner. Sackett had been at the Holbrook farm in Pomfret and so was acquainted with the deputy sheriff and told him what he wanted to do. IL was fixed up and Saekett got his desire. He said at the time that he wanted to ex peTience the sensation of a night in a cell and it might be assumed from the versatile pen he wields that the expe- rience was ehronieled at the time.

Enumeration of School Children

A w. Bowen, assisted by Armand Lizotte, has completed the enumera- ton of the school children in the town of Putnam. The number has fallen of twenty-seven from last year There has been a gradual falling off since 1906. The total enumerationS for the years 1905 to 1911 inclusive were as follows: l5S9, 1893, 1891, l646, 1540, l497, l470
 It will be noticed that in 1908 there was a big gain and the following year a big slump. This was due to the 1908 enumerator adding the number of pu pills in Notfe Dame Academy. The next year they were again left out.
 The question has been asked how il is that our public schools are over crowded when the number of school children has been decreasing. A mem- Der of the school board explains the matter by the fact that there are a good many pupils who would natural ly go to the paroehial schools now go to the public schools, and an addition al influx from the surrounding towns.

Man killed by Trolley Car

James Banford, fl tramp weaver, was run over and instantly killed by the 925 south bound trolley car, Patrick Reilly, motorman, Thursday night. He was 45 years of age.
 The accident happened near the Wheaton farm. The motorman saw n person walking upon the side of the track. When within q few feet of the man he suddenly lurched in front of the car, and although the emergency was applied bringing all the passen- gers upon their feet, it was too late and the mans body went under the car. The body was terribly mangled. The back of his skull was torn completely y oil, there were compound fractures of both legs and arms and his side was crushed in. The body was removed To smiths undertaking rooms. It is thought the man was intoxicated and staggered on to the track.
 Deputy coroner Dr. J. B. Kent view ed the remains. In the pockets were found a weaVeris hook, an addressed envelope, and small memorandum book. There was also a receipt for a registered letter sent from Attawaugan August 10th. The letter had been ad- dressed to Mrs. Mary Banford, Fall River, Mass. and the receipt was made out to James Banford, In the memo randum book in several places appear. ed the name of Mrs, Nellie Lukeman, l43 Fourth street, Fall River, and the addressed envelope contained the same name. IL was by this means that the relatives were located during the day.
 Banford was seen about the city on Thanksgiving day, and had been drinking. 1t k thought he was the man who boarded Ean earlier ear and got oil over on Grove street, apparent ly thinking he had reached Attawau- gan, where he worked in a mill.
 Mrs. Lukeman came to the city Sat urday from Fall River, identified the body as that of her brother. Banford has mother who lives with his sister. The burial was in Grove street ceme tery Sunday afternoon.
 This accident was similar to the one that happened in Elmville a short while ago when John Reilly lost his life by staggering in front of an auto mobile.

World of SportC

Putnam basket ball team suffered their first defeat Thanksgiving day afternoon when the husky Danielson quintette put it over them by a score of l7 to II. There was big holiday crowd out to see the sport and there was a good sprinkling of Danielson fans.
 For two periods it was anybody's game but in the third Danlelson had the punch and the weight behind it. IL was this weight that Putnam gave their opponents that turned the tide Big Porky Paine, the Marland broth CTS and Smith, all heavy weights, made some of Putnam's best talent look like pigmies. But the light weights bothered the heavy-weights and were point ahead at the end of the second period. There was nothing to it but Danielson in the final, al- though Putnam hung on gamily.
 The game was fast, and in spots a bit rough, which the crowd evidently SHluNSu ao IL hiOuSht tASih to hASil toes.
 In the summary that follows, each team is credited with one point for every three fouls committed by mem bers of the opposing team, there being no free tries for field goals;

The father k kept in ignorance ot the daughters plight until the family reach home, when he wants to turn her out into the world. Just how the author is able to keep the daughter from going out into the world and how the father and son are able 10 redeem themselves through this experience and the final peace that comes to the entire family is shown in the action of the play.

Washington The Siv,y
 Congress reassembled for ifs seela s regular session. It induced into oa ..' ; two new Senators and five new pars s,,.,7 sentatives, and began a session gs'e' s'l.ls the Democrats say will be tba -iea important in it's consequences s;a. I,ys. General U. s. Grant became p,as' 9..ss dent. esi'
 It was the first regular sessio, the Sixty second Congress. Tho VI sion is counted on to deal with tsr's trusts, currency, arbitration and
 host of other big problems. but aT = tivity will be with a view to the aHes.s on the coming Presidential eamnaisn
 The Senate met for only fifteen ain utes. Viee-President Sherman was oh sent because of the death of his r,o,s 5 er-in-law, and on motion of sana,a. Gallinger, Senator Curtis of Kanass a Kaw Indian, was elected temnors,, chairman to serve for one week
 Two new Senators, Obadiah Gard ner of Maine, who takes the seat .. long occupied by Senator Frye arsH Hoke Smith of Georgia attracted ron. siderable attention It was uoka Smiths first appearance in Wasbips. ton official life since he was elevs lands Secretary of the Interior fifteen years ago. He was cordially greeted by old friends. Both of the new senay tors were sworn in.
 The speech of Representative Mar. tin w. Littleton of New York defend. ing himself from the recently publish. ed charges that as a member of the Stanley steel committee he was i'm friendly with the steel trust was ess fly the feature of the opening session of the House. Indeed the LittleteD speech was an extremely unusual pF0 ceeding, inasmuch as the first days business ordinarily consists merely of the appointment of a committee to notify the President that the House is in session.
 The only other feature in the Lit. tleton row was the filing by Henry B 5 Martin, secretary of the Anti.Trus. League, who brought the original ae cusation against the New York men. Der, of a memorial sanctioned by the Antitrust League, of which Mr Mar tin is secretary, demanding MT Lit tletons impeachment and expulsion from the House. This memorial vas referred to the House committee oa rules and will rest there.
 In the House there was rush io introduce important measures. More than 500 bills and resolutions were thrown into the legislative hopper All of them will be printed and referred to committees in due and ancient form. This will be the last heard Ot most of the measures.
 "It is undoubtedly going to be the busiest session in fifty years sad Leader Underwood We will prooa. ply be here far into next fall"
 Similar expressions were heard from Republicans in both the Senate ana the House These predictions are oi course, based on the ambitious pro gramme of legislation that the fres' dent is said to have in mind.
