Beginning to Appreciate Wilkinson Park

During this hot wave a new use IS being put to the park. Monday night, as many in this city can testify, 1t was indeed hard to find place where one could keep cool enough to sleep com- fortably. Late in the evening some six young men bethought themselves of the park, and going there stretched themselves upon the grass and "slept beautifully until daylight" The re- mark of one was, "I tell you the peo- pie are beginning to appreciate that place"
 If one will take the trouble to watch for a day or two they will be surprised to see how many take advantage of the seats provided under the shade of the grand old trees. Many who have their own yards, and many who have no shade of their own, are seen enjoying the cool breezes Of this delightful spot.

Congregational Church Notes

For the remainder of the summer the Sunday morning service will close at 11.3O, Sunday school will begin at II. .45 and close at 12.30.
 To many people the little prayer meeting on Thursday evening in which prayer was offered for rain and the much-needed shower that followed was a mere coincidence but 1t may have been that the heaven may be opened in this century as in the earlier years in answer to prayer.
 The people will have the opportunity of listening next Sabbath to Rev. Joel s. Ives for so many years connected with our Missionary society. He is an old and well-beloved friend of the churches. The offering will be for the Fund for ministers.
 At the last sacramental service Sun day afternoon the Pastor emphasized the necessity and importance of Bible school instruction in the education and training of our young people. In a great many instances all the instruc- tion that the child receives in Bible and religious truth is gained in the Bible school It is almost a para. mount duty of the church to see that this branch of it's activity is well sus. tained.
 E. NJ. Warner was appointed dele gate 10 represent our C. E. society al the National convention at Atlantic City which was in session in that place last week. He was one of the speakers at that notable meeting.
 The officers and committees of the C k. society were installed last Sunday evening.

City Court.-.Fuller Judge.

Four cases were disposed of by the court Wednesday morning as follows:
 George Howarth and Harry Decatur plead guilty to breach of the peace and to the larceny of forty railroad torpe. does. They were fined g on each count, and ordered to pay costs of S9.59. Decatur is brakeman on To- cal freight that puts up over night in this city. On the evening of June 2S there was considerable number of powder explosions in the business sec tion of the city and on Grove street. It began with fire crackers and at a later hour Decatur got the torpedoes from his caboose, and he and Howarth put them on the trolley track, so that when the car came along they were exploded.
 Frank k. Howarth was fined S5 on two counts, one for operating his Pope Hartford automobile while the registry number was suspended, and for opera ting his car while his license was sus- pended, and was taxed SS.09 and costs. Howarth was before the court some time ago for breaking the automobile law and fined. He was later sum- moned before the Secretary of State, and his license and registry numbers revoked for 50 and 30 days respective ly. Howarth said that he had over hauled his car and only ran it short distance to see that it was working all right. He thought he had been pun ished enough, and ttat in view of oth- CT decisions judgment in this instance should be suspended, put the court did not take that view of it.
 Robert Bruce plead not guilty to the larceny of case of whiskey from the freight depot. Elmer Burgess testified that he was a clerk at the freight de- pot. Bruce came there in the morn- ing for some freight. He saw him take the case of whiskey and set it near the door, and later transfer it to his wagon putting 1t under the seat As he was about to drive oil he told him not to forget to leave the whiskey behind. Bruce returned it. George NJ. Wood ward of Boston, agent for the Consoli- dated road, testified to the contents and value of the case. Bruce took the stand and said he was not guilty. He denied putting the whiskey under the wagon seat, but said he put it on the tail board. He had no intention of go- ing of with it, the whole thing being being done in fun. He was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $I and costs of $9.29

Village base ball teams, that played at Wildwood Park last Sunday after noon, paid fines of sl0 and costs to the town court of Killingly, Monday after noon, and promised to arrange no more Sunday games.
 When the Sunday game was first ad- vertised last week it caused much spec ulation. Those interested wondered whether 1t could be pulled of or wheth- CT it would be stopped. As 1t was not within the limits of the town of Put nam local officials had no interest in the matter.
 The game was played and 1t was es- timated that about 1900 people were present. Tickets were not sold, but one passing through to the grounds could put something in the box and get tag, but 1t was not compulsory The game went i5 innings, and result ed in a tie, score l to 1.
