Hard Thunder Storm

Two thunder showers, one closely following the other, passed over the city between eight and nine o'clock Saturday night The showers were accompanied by vivid lightning, hard thunder claps and hail. The trolley service was temporarily put out of commission and the telephone ser vice was slightly crippled.
 A house on Sunnyside was struck by bolt and set on fire. A pail of water was used to put 1t out and lit tie damage was done.
 A glare in the sky to the southward showed where another bolt had struck. This was at the Sabin Place which is west from Attawaugan crossing. The barn was set on fire and burned to the ground.
 The farm is occupied by relatives of Edward Bowen who died few months ago as the result of an acci- dent They did not know that the barn was blazing until Warren A. Thatcher and others who had been attracted by the fire arrived at the place. It was then too late to save the COW that lost it's fife. A quanti- ty of fodder, wagons, etc. were de stroyed MT. Thatcher lost about $100 worth of farming tools that were stored in the barn, the value of which with it's contents was about $1,5 ,500. The barn belonged to the Alexander estate.

Miss Grosvenor's Recital

A musical critic in Boston paper has the following to say of Miss Charlotte Grosvenor's recital in that city last week. Miss Grosvenor is the daughter of Benjamin Grosvenor of Pomfret.
 Yesterday afternoon at Jordan hall Miss Charlotte Grosvenor, so- prano, assisted by Miss Edith Thomp- son, pianist. was heard in recital of arias and songs, French, Italian, German and English.
 Miss Grosvenor has everything to commend her.-charming presence, well-controlled voice. no small amount of interpretative ability. How could it be otherwise with singer of talent who had received her fund amental training with no less a per- son than Mme. Avonia Bonney Lich- field? This splendid artist was one of Boston's greatest opponents of the pure Italian school of song. Miss Grosvenor's voice still shows the re- suit of this training. It was an es- pecial pleasure to note her steady, absolutely fiawless tonal emission, to hear a voice of such silvery rich ness, and to see the ease with which the desired tones and colors were attained. Miss Grosvenor was at her best in the great eurving phras- es of eElsas Traum' and infused dig nifty, power and real breadth into this taxing piece. It is exceedingly difficult to catalogue this singers voice since it possesses all of the re- auisites of a light, florid organ and at the same time partakes of many dramatic qualities. Whatever Miss Grosvenor sings is we'll planned, carefully and intelligently presented and always effective"

Surprise to Alderman Clark

About 40 friends and relatives Of Alderman George D. Clark. gave him a complete surprise Friday night at his home on Walnut street, the oeea- sion being his birthday. MT. Clark did not have an inkling before hand that there was to be party at his home and when the guests arrived they found him at work outside on his hencoop. Different games were enjoyed throughout the evening and later refreshments were served. During the evening, Warren Brad way. on behalf of the guests, pre- sented him with gold watch chain and charm, and Henry Benoit pre- sented him with a rocking chair on behalf of his fellow employees in the postoffice. In accepting these gifts MT. Clark assured his guests that the party was a complete surprise to him and thanked them very graclously for the tokens of esteem. All pres ent thoroughly enjoyed themselves Among those from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clark and. MISS Ellinor Keith of Eastford.

Sewer Assessments

The sewer assessment of the abut- ting property owners as published Tn the local papers last week have been under discussion ever since and the meeting to be held next Tuesday evening for the purpose Of hearing those interested in the mat ter will doubtless be a large and in teresting one.
 The committee appointed to make the assessment realized that their duty was a trying one, but they nevertheless assumed it cheerfully They have done the work in a pains taking manner and sought to adjust the matter as equitably as possible.
 There has been a large expenditure of money in completing the system and in many cases the burden on the small property holders will be very severe. and in some cases seemingly impossible for him to bear.
 No one questions that the com mittee have given time and thought to their work and devised plan which to them seemed the best solu- tion of the difficult problem-a prob lem that has been met in other GIL ies and always calls forth opposi- tion.
 The meeting next Tuesday night will give every one an opportunity for discussion and suggestion and calm businessslike talk on the situa- tion among the citizens and ofhclals will doubtless settle the problem satisfactorily.
 It is to be assumed that the com mittee will explain the manner or assessment used the other plans con sidered, and why they considered the plan used the bst. They will doubt less gladly listen to suggestions as to where the plan can be improved upon and after the meeting either the present plan will be found Just and equitable or some better method may be discovered. The commit tees only aim is to do what they consider for the best interests of all and this they believe they have done in the plan submitted.

All employers are brought under

less, prior to the first of June, they

contributory negligence is taken from
employers who do not come under

bring practically a positive election
IN the part of the employer, whereas
the employee is under the act unless
he dissents. 1t is proposed to make

EAST LOOKS TO WEST

Several years ago Gertrude Amer
ton wrote a novel called 1.-THE Arts
tocrats'' and published it anonymous
ly, and for that reason perhaps the
story received much attention. IN
any event, she sent the heir OF
New York millionaire to Western
university in order to educate him IN
practical, efficient methods, impossl-
ble to obtain in Eastern universities,
bur as important now as ever IN
Eastern or Western living. From the
descriptions in the book the impress
sion was received that the state to
which the heir was sent was Wlscon-
sin. That is certainly the most prac-
teal university of the West; we can
admit that without envy, even though
it is obviously the intention OF the
Minnesota Legislature to bend our
chief institution toward more voca-
tional ends.
The University of Pennsylvania is
being urged to follow the plan OF the
University of Wisconsin. It seems
that this Western institution receives
automatically from the state govern
ment it's financial support, without
constant annual or biennial applica;-
tons and supplicatiops to the Legls-
lature. Pennsylvania is advised to
establish some such endowment,
making it possible for the university
to count on It's income with some
definite idea Because OF this GER
tainty of largesse Wisconsin has been
able. so the Philadelphia Ledger as
serts, to maintain a variety OF
schools within the university, col
leges of letters, Of science, OF agrl-
culture, Of engineering, OF medicine,
law, pharmacy, of music. Pennsylvan-
ia is counseled to remodel its uni
qersity, and to include In such large
plan the state college of the agricul-
tural department., the technical school
of Pittsburgh and various other sin
gle schools.
1t is interesting to see an Eastern
State consider remodeling its institu-
tons on models afforded by the West,
developed in the West The state uni
versities of the West have had the
advantages of beginning later than
those of the East, of not generating
| old established ideals Of education to
| such an extent, and particularly In
| the states formed out of the old
Northwest, and in the states farther
west, an advantage of special endow-
ment out of the public domain. The
East must transform it's schools in
order to serve the newer generation.
Gut it is important at the same
time that the schools of the West
should not overdo their practical"
education, and become inadequate
when the pendulum swings the other
way, toward less practical educa-
ton, as it is certain to do when our
people have progressed farther in
their conquest Of the material, and
do not so much worship doing In
stead of thinking st. Paul Pioneer
