CHAIN OF CANDY STORES.

Mrs. j. Borden Hartman whose
civic activities have been manifold,
is soon to launch a chain of candy
stores throughout the county. They
are intended to be for women what
chains of cigar stores are for men.
Mrs. Hartman said recently that
she is intensely anxious to see the
venture succeed, as she believes it
will be of economical advantage to
women wage erners. Sizzling soda
and tempting CONNECTIONS are to be
put at as moderate prices as pos
sible.
The candy store chain is re-
garded by Mrs. Hartman in the light
of an experiment related to the

MINING COMPANY
To PAY PENSIONS.
PRESIDENT GUGGENHEIM OF
AMERICAN SMELLING FAME,
ADVOCATES OLD-AGE RECON-
PENSE FOR LONG SERVICE.

Although the revolution in Mexico
interferred considerably with the OPP
Grafton of the American Smelling &
Refining company in that country, 1t
gross profits for the last calendar
year, according to the fourteenth an
nual report Just issued.
This good showing resulted largely
from the uniform improvement in
the market value of silver, lead and
copper
A feature of the report is the an
nouncement of the distribution of a
cash bonus TO faithful employees and
the establishment of a pension fund.
During the year an appropriation of
$367,S22 from earnings was made
for these two accounts. The pension
fund amounts to $4,000.
Pension Board Created.
President Daniel Guggenheim, dis
eusslng the pension plan says:
For a number of years il has
been customary, by special arrange
ments. to care for employees of the
company who. after years of faith
full service. have found 1t impossible
TO continue their active duties, and
the directors have intended at the
proper time to organize a pension
system for the benefit of employees OF
the company.
"A pension fund has now been
created and 100000 has been set
aside to be invested at a later date
at the direction of the finance COM
mittee. The income from this in
yestment fund will be used for
the needs Of the pension system.

MIR. Y At WORK.

Washington correspondents seem
never to tire of Mr.. Bryan. His per-
sonality is always interesting to
them and to the people who read
what they write. But to this has
been added the new dignity of official
station, affording a Kaleidoscope per-
spective of which the newspaper men
will not soon tire. Now there is
something new about him to be dis
cussed. The office he holds now is
only the second he has enjoyed
though he has been in the Office
seeking business since 1896, for
keeps. Bryan is something of a po-
litical novelty, despite the fact that
We all thought we knew him so well.
The real novely is Bryan at work,
says the Reno Gazette.
The Springfield Republican, which
has a well informed correspondent
at the nations capital, takes an OPP
timistic view of Mr.. Bryan's service
both as 1t will affect him and the
administrations: He is not only
ready to do what he can to make the
Wilson administration efficient in the
service of the country, but he has a
great vision of what can be done in
the state department" In speaking
of Mr.. Bryan's universal peace views,
with which it is impressed, the Re-
publican says: THE triumphs of
peace are his ideal, but he does not
mean to fail in the practical hand
ling of immediate diplomatic ques-
tions. Mr.. Bryan's journeys abroad
gave him knowledge needed now,
and are affording him inspiration.
He would have Uncle Sam by helpful
consideration seek to reassure the
republics south of us as to
our honorable purposes, and realizes
that such reinsurance is the surest
road to obtaining the freest trade re-
lations. Mr.. Bryan has Imagination,
as James G. Blaine had, and he is
thinking somewhat along the lines
of Mr.. Blaine's thought and program.
Secretary Bryan has no patience with
the narrowing conditions that sur
round the higher diplomatic places
in the gift of the government, un-
der which only millionaires can af-
ford to take them" Mr.. Bryan's
cure is for this country to provide
its diplomats with foreign homes,
and maintain them.
AS a partial presentation of Mr..
Bryan's purpose this is most agree
able. If he can bring the republics
to the south of us to understand us
better and to trust us, he can es-
tablish trade relations between the
two Americas that will go far to-
wards settling for all times the per-
picking tariff question. If he can
induce congress to house the repre-
s~entatives of this country in the
countries to which they are sent, he
will have invited into the diplomatic
life of the nation men fitted by their
brains rather than by their purses to
work for the common good. We
wish him success in a field other sec
retaries have either misunderstood.
Or sadly neglected.

COMMON COUNCIL
Rortine Business Transacted

The regular meeting of the common council was held Tuesday evening with Mayor Macdonald presiding. Present Aldermen Dady, Johnson, Clarke, Duvert, Bouthillette, Davis and LaRue.
 The police report showed IA arrests, sent to jail 3, light out 2s5 hours.
 It was voted to renew the note of the Aetna Insurance Company for S250 900 at rate of interest not to ex- ceed l2 percent. This is the money borrowed by the city to pay for the waterworks and is at percent but it is understood that the rate of interest is to be increased ope.hslf of one percent.
 A petition for crosswalk at the corner of Florence and Farrows streets was referred with power to act.
 Alderman Clarke of the highway committee brought up the matter of the city continuing the Amisite road ped from Bugbee Corner 10 the Square and asked the Councils opinion. II was the opinion of those present that the work should be done and carried as far as possible with the money on hand and the weather would permit. It is hoped to bring the wark as far as Union street and farther if possible. Eventually it is hoped to complete the work including Union Square.
 The matter of laying tax for meet ing the sewer expense was talked over informally. It seemed to be the opin- ion of the council that the tax would have to be laid al the next annual meeting. l money is needed to meet the interest on the debt in the mean time a special meeting will probably be called and an appropriation made to cover thIs indebtedness until the tax is collected.
 Voted that the matter of claim of P. c. Wright be investigated and report ed to the council.

St. Phillips Church.

Clement Gilson has resigned as choirmaster on account of other duties. Besides former terms in the same po- sition, MT. Gison has been in charge since December 1912, when he reorgan- ized the choir, introducing female voices. His wide exerience with church music, his skill in training young voices, and his qualities of leadership, made him valuable man. It is expected that MT. Gilson will be able to give the church the benefit of his fine tenor at many of the services. Sam Leach becomes choirmaster this week, bringing to the position the re- suits of experience on both sides of the water. Miss Rawley continues to serve ss organist.

Communication

In the interest of local historical ae- culaey permit me to correct a state ment, published in your issue of last week, regarding my connection with the Telephone Company.
 The Exchange was opened in 1882, not 's3, and remained in my office on Union street until 1902, not 1892. Dur ing this period of twenty years I was the Msnager.
 The Company has, by reduction in rates, greater disposition to extend its lines, the employment of contract agents, and liberal policy, greatly increased it's business and efficiency everywhere. Great as has been the in- crease in this Division 1t is merely technical to say that the Putnam Di- vision in 1902 numbered only 167 tele- phones, for Pomfret, Woodstock and Eastford, which for twenty years had been a part of the Division had been cut oil at that date and four years later restored, and in showing the number of telephones, the number in those towns should have been added, bring ing the number at that time to about 590, as I remember il. Even with this addition the gain has been re- markable, greatly to the credit Of the retiring Manager.

BANK RE=OPENS
Closed ll Months. Prospect Bright
Daniel ]. Byrne, New Treasurer Of Wind.
 ham County Savings Bank

The Windham County Savings Bank of Danielson opened it's doors Monday morning. The bank was closed Au- gust sth, 1912, under a restraining or der of the Superior court granted at the request of the slate bank commission CTS. At the recent term of court held in Putnam the bank commissioners and bank officials came to an agree ment whereby the bank has been al. lowed to reopen under a practically new set of officers. The announce ment of these officials has already been made with the exception Of a treasurer. The announcement was made Tuesday that Daniel J. Byrne of Boston had been elected to fill this position. This announcement was received with pleasure in Putnam where MT. Byfne is we'll known.
 Mir. Byrne is the elder son of Mrs. Mary Byrne, Woodstock avenue. He was born in Mechaniesville and later removed with his parents to GNhridge.
 After he came to Putnam he entered the Putnam High school. He finished his education and fitted himself of a business career in Providence. For fifteen years he was connected with the Putnam Savings bank. Four years ago he went to Boston and became manager of the Safe deposit depart ment in the Fisst National bank. Mir. Byrne is a man of sterling worth and ability and the Danielson bank is fort unate in obtaining his services.
 When the bank opened Monday after it's long enforced idelness people were curious to see the effect. There was no run on the institution which denotes that the public have the con tidence in the bank that they have steadily maintained. Of course there were some accounts withdrawn but there were likewise deposits made, The withdrawal Of money was to be expected as some of the depositors of small means were doubtless in need of money which they had been unable to get for fourteen months. The people Of nanielson are greatly pleased that the bank has been saved to them and that the outlook for it's future is so bright.
