BOROUGH DEBT
Not so Large as to Cause Uneasinsss
 Substantial Assets.

While there has been much talk re- gently relative to the necessity of the practice of administrative economy in Danielson, which is talk that is de- serving of careful consideration, it is pointed out that a debt of $50, ,o00, while it may be plenty large, is not sufficiently so as to cause undue alarm, nor to be particularly discred- itable, for the borough assets amount to three-fifths of that sum, or, to be exact, $2s,760. This amount repre- sents the total of the official inyen- tory of the borough property, includ- ing the central fire station at 1000. the borough farm at $500, the fire alarm system at $2,675, the steamer General Putnam at s3,000, all real and tangible assets. The borough has spent much money in the past five years, but it seems to have something to show for it. And in this comment no consideration has been made of the newly built sewer system perhaps the most valublec of all recent borough improvements.

STAR ROUTE MAIL
To North Sterling Will Be piscentir
 ued Today.

The star mail route that has been operated for years between North Sterling and Danielson via South KilIingly will be discontinued after today's (Saturday) trip. Hereafter the business that has been handled by this route will be taken care of by the rural carriers from the Danielson and Foster Center. k. l., p'ostofnces, the carrier from the Danielson office handling the mail for South Killingly, while the mail for North Sterling will go out with the carrier from the Eos ter Center office. This new arrange ment will effect a saving to the gov ernment of S391 a year, which was the amount paid the driver on the star route to be eliminated.
 Frank Corey, one of the most noted rifle shots in the United States, has been the driver on this route for sew eral years, he being a resident of North Sterling.
 In connection with this matter it is of interest to note that residents of Sterling have just filed a petition, through Congressman ID. W. Higgins, for a new rural route from the Stsr- ling postoffice through the territory in that town and in the vicinity of the Rhode Island line. This petition is signed by ninety residents in the ter rkory to be served,

Decision in Faver sf Turssen-Heli- day Basl<sAhaH 0amss--Funsrai of Mrs. Edwin Perry.


 day Basketball oamss--Funsrai of
 Mrs. Edwin Perry.
 Judge Howard ]. Curtis of the su- perior court has handed down de- cision in the case of Peter Turgeon of Danielson vs. Frederick s. Wood ward of Brooklyn, in favor of Tur- geon, the case being primarily one of title to a certain part of a certain wood lot in the town of Brooklyn, the ownership of which certain part was in dispute, TurEeon. some time since, having secured an injunction pre- venting Woodward from exercising his dispute, which strip is relatively not valuable. The case, however, has proved very interesting one. having been twice tried in the superior court for Windham county, the first finding having been appealed from by the de- fendant and taken to the supreme court on a claim of error. The su- prene court decided that there had been error in excluding evidence that should have been admitted and here- with ordered q new trial. which was cision being again favorable to Tur- geon. the injunction being sustained.
 The point that makes the case of special interest, however, is that it has been the means of esta bliehing new point of law in Connecticut, i. c., that the declarations of an adjoining prop erty owner (neither the plaintiff nor defendant) are admissible as evidence in such cases, If it is shown that such disinterested owner has no reason for being prejudiced.
 Judge Oliver B. Getty of Danielson and State Attorney Charles E. Searls have been the attorneys for Turgeon in the case, both in the superior court and before the supreme court.
 Good Basketball.
 Two basketball games were played in Hammond hall Friday afternoon, but not many were attracted to see the sport.

The teams were made up as follows: Hooks-Myers, Macdonald, Daigle, Morin, Monier. Protectors Donovan, G. Sharpe. Wheaton. H. Sharpe. Larose.. Flagg.
 Incidentally, there was also a game between teams made up of college girls! What? No; they were not college girls; just jolly good Putnam fellows, with an la hobble makeup Baker, Tourtellotte and Harry Sharpe on one side, Frank Dumas, Pecher and Cloutier on the other, and lovely girls all. The latter trio won the game, making , baskets to by their op- ponents.

The forming of regular habits is most i'm portant and while endeavoring to form them the assistance of Syrup oi Figs and Elixir of Senna is most val uable, as it is the only laxative which acts without disturbing the natural functions and without facilitating and it is the one laxative which leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition, thereby really aiding one in that way To get its beneficial effects. buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

For the coming season at least New Lordon will have a team of baseball players, made possible by the personal interest taken in the game by Morton F. Plant and few gentlemen who ara thoroughly interested in the game for the pleasure and sport there is in it, and the financial end is of secondary considera ton. It is believed that with a really first class team of the irIe- pendent order that the attendance will warrant the selection of the best op- posing teams that are obtainable. II is planned to have all home gamef during the coming season. at least twt games week, and be prepared to meet all corners that have made a reputn- tion for good work.
 The games will be played in Arm strong park, the old and popular base. ball field, and a new grandstand and bleachers are now in course of con- struction and the field is being put ints veniently located and affords tho best of trolley service. The change oi baseball play from Armstrong ts Cannonball park had much to do with killing the game in New London, ow- ing to lack of transportation facilities, patrons having to walk home at the conclusion of well patronized games.
 Provided sufficient interest is shown in the game the present season by large patronage, it is quite probabie
 
 admission into the state or some other league next season.
 The suddsn death Of Wona r0na Ven, proprietor of the Bradley street Chinese restaurant, is reminder that only two dead Chinamen were ever seen in New London, and in both in stances the deaths were sudden and both were residents of Bradley street. Wong was found dead in his restau- rant last Wednesday from heart dis ease. The other death was that of Hung Wah. the first Chinaman to To- cate in New London, and for many years was the only one. He had laun dry in Bradley street and was widely known, doing a thriving business, and Sam Wing Sing, to assist him, Sam being the second Celestial to locate in 1 the city. Hung Wah became sick, had no faith in the American doctor, and became Respondent. He suddenly dis appeared and about two weeks there after his dead body was found floating l near the old Williams & Haven wharf. He had committed suicide by drown l ing.
 1 The body was buried according to l the Chinese ritual in the old Third 1 the Nathan Hale grammar school. l Several years afterwards the bones were unearthed by Sam Wing Sing. thoroughly cleaned and Sam made . special trip to China with the mortal remains of his uncle and buried the same with those of his kinsmen. The body of Wong Yong Yen was taken by his son to Boston for temporary burial and will be taken to China later on.

The gentleman perhaps really meant what he said at that time, but there are no surface indications of that promised activity materializing. Fortunately New London has an experienced and efficient police force, thoroughly com potent to enforce all the laws that are preventive of vice. and perhaps notice has been served on the organized re- formers that the police can, and will, clean. up the city without the aid of volunteers Hence the broken promises and lethargy of the Committee of Fif- teen.

Also, in the meantime, we can, if we will. continue to have a very toIera bly good time- A letter recently received from an amateur farmer, telling of some of his hopes and 8 few of his ex- periences, relates how he lost $50 last season on one farm line. But think of the fun I had" he adds. That's the spirit. I wish we all had it or more of it. We can't many of us, afford to lose $50 season for the fun of 1t. But, if we've got to lose money, here and there, little on one crop and perhaps little on another. for the sake of our own digestions, let's get out of them something of fun in the way of salvage. I don't quite agree with Mrs Deland, who maintains that the only happiness of gardening is "work"-work which you are doing or have done or are going to do. But it's all We get out of some crops. some years. That being so, I find it psycho- logically economic to get what pay I can in the way of ''fun'' as go along.

But one can't do anything much alone. Nor can we farmers make them do anything at all, unless they choose.
