Widow of Former Superintendent ot
 HousatonIc Railroad, Dies.
 The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth Brown, who died on Sunday morning al the home of her sister, Mrs. Charles Day, in Lakevii1e. was attended from the Methodist church in this village on Tuesday at 1:30 Tn the afternoon, Rev. L. E. Travis and Rev. E. O. Gillette officiating. MT. Gillette paid most fitting tribute to her memory. Miss Walter, of Wayne, Pa, sang "Lead, Kindly Light" and Crossing the Bar. J in very sympathetic manner. The bearers were G. W. Parsons, Joseph l.. Parsons, Frank Stevens, Harry A. Holt, Lester Adams and Eugene Rowe.
 MT. A. c. Lord, undertaken of Lake vile, had charge of the funeral. The remains were committed to the vault in the Lower Cemetery.
 Mrs. Brown was the widow of the late Nelson Moore Brown, of Bridgeport, who at the time of his death, B years ago, was superintendent Of the Housa- tonic Railroad. She was the daughter of Lawrence and Abigail Gillette and was born in the house now occupied by Frank Hitchcock, Dec. 29, 1889. In 1862 she married Nelson M. Brown, the wedding occurring at her home, now known as the Chester Deming place. Her husband, MT. Brown, was the first superintendent of the Methodist Sun- day school at the time when the services were held in the Town Hall, before the church edifice was built. She was a pupil, and later a teacher in the Sunday school.
 Mrs. Brown was beloved by all who knew her. She was 8 calm, trusting, Christian woman and met the trials of life with fortitude that only the per- son with pure. abiding faith can ex- perience. She was of sunny nature and always ready to do her part in the wor d. In the days of her strength she was worker in the church and thor. oughly devoted to it's upbuilding.
 She is survived by two sons. William L, of Hartford, and Franklin N.. of New York step-daughter, Mrs. G. o Hatch, of Baltimore. and a step-son, George M., of Baltimore. Also three brothers. Joseph, of East Canaan Edwin of Fort Wayne, Ind; Ovid F., of Ca naan, and three sisters, Mrs. Charles Day, of Lakeyille Mrs. William Strick- land, of Manasquan, N. J., and Mrs. N. A.

WON'T SELL LIQUOR ON TRAINS
New Haven Decides to Discontinue the
 Practice.

New Haven Decides to Discontinue the
 Practice.
 The New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad has decided, effective March lst. to discontinue the sale of liquor on its trains throughout its entire territory.
 The New Haven takes this action in the belief that, however custom may have sanctioned the practice, the sale of liquor on it's trains in the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con- necticut is not permitted by the laws of these States. which make no provision for State licensing. No liquor has been sold in New York State because the dis tance traversed there was believed to be too short to warrant taking out a State license for each car, such as the laws of that State permit.
 In regard to the sale of liquor on trains. the position of the New Haven in the past has been that it had no desire to sell liquor but that it dld so in response to the demand of its patrons. However, it is the policy of the company to con duct it's business strictly in conformity with the laws of the States in which it operates, and upon aE investigation of the subject it feels that as the law in these three States does not provide for liquor selling on trains it should be stopped.
 In taking this action discontinuing liquor selling the New Haven is follow ing a rule which many other large rail road have adopted In different parts of the country. In Illinois recently twenty five railroads under a rule adopted by the General Managers Association of Chicago agreed to discontinue the sale of liquor with or without meals in that State and other railroads have done the same elsewhere.

Camp Fire Activities.

We Waugum Camp Fire Girls cunsId- CT ourselves unusually fortunate in re- ceiving assistance ln our activities from women whose training has rendered them especially fitted to give the very best possible instructions.
 A few weeks ago, Miss Mary Finne. gan, graduate nurse. demonstrated to us the methods of saving, carrying and reviving a person who is apparently drowned. A girl was carried from the assumed point of disaster and the methods of resuscitation were practiced on very lively patient. A few days after, one of the Camp Fire Girls put some of the Knowledge gained at this meeting into actual practice. \ person was rendered unconscious by a severe fall. It was necessary to carry him to a bed. The Camp Fire Girl, who was near when the accident happened, told how the moving was scientifically and therefore easily done at that meeting. Her directions being followed carefully, the patient was easily carried and put to bed.
 Mss Finnegan also showed the use of the tournequet. The danger of leaving it on too long was emphasized.
 Another graduate nurse, Miss Kenney of Pittsfeld. in two most important les sons, taught us how to make a bed in such way as to give the greatest poss1- ble comfort; how to change the sheets without uncoyering the patient; how to remove the night robe without moving the sick one, and how to move the patient easily in bed. She instructed us in the use of the clinical thermometer in obtaining indications of fever. She gave real foot bath to one of the girls who acted as patient, while in bed and we'll covered up.
 Having descended from the bed room to the kitchen, Miss Kenney instructed us in the making and use of mustard plaster.
 Those girls present, whose work was approved by Miss Kenney, were awarded an elective honor.
 Many others have freely given us their valuable time and knowledge ato the advancement of the Camp Fire Girls and to all such we wish to express our hearty and sincere thanks.-"Yah- wego," of the Wangum Winonahs.

NEXT REUNION IN CANAAN
Veterans of Tri-State Association
 Meet Here in dune.

Veterans of Tri-State Association
 Meet Here in June.
 The next annual reunion of the tri- state Veterans Association will be held a in Canaan Monday, June 15, in accord anoe with vote passed at the reunion in Winsted last Monday, when the asso- citation met, the day on which Wash ington's birthday was observed. At that meeting about 50 veterans were present, many of them being accompa- nied by their wives, and it was suc- oessful and enjoyable reunion. The Posts comprising the association are those in Canaan, nLakeville, Millerton, Winsted and Great Burlington, and the argument has been advanced for some time that owing to the severe weather of February and the growing infirmities of the ageihg veterans. the time of the re- unions should be changed from winter to summer, and on motion of Comrade E. s. Roberts, of David 5. Oowles Post. it was voted to change the date to Flag day, June 14, and as the next meeting was due to be held in Canaan, that next June IA be the date instead of skipping year on account of the change-it being the prevailing opinion that the veterans are now of such advanced age that they cannot afford to do any skipping" as the youngest of them have but few more reunions before them at best.
 The forthcoming reunion will give the good people of Canaan another opportn. nity to show their good will and appre- citation of the old heroes, and there is no question that they will extend their hos pitality with characteristic willingness and generosity in preparing for the wis itors' entertainment. v.#.f

WHAT TAG DAY FUND Is FOR.

The Canaan Hose Company, No, l, would take this opportunity of thanking the Boy Scouts and the public spirited citizens of the town who contributed to make the Tag Day a success. As some may not be aware of the use to be mads of this money, I would state that it is, necessary to keep fire at the hosel house, so that the chemical engine will not freeze, and also that 1t is necessary to purchase accessories from time to time to keep the chemical engine, hose, bose-carts, ladders, etc, in readiness, and it is for these purposes that the money raised last Saturday will be used.

any name more than once. When a
name was stricken off for any one
purpose it could not be counted again
for the purpose of swelling the as-
eregate number Of names substracted
from the number upon the petition.
As to the amended petition it ap-
pears that the certificates as to the
genuineness of the signatures Of the
signers, were not made by one OF the
signers of those papers. The charter
requires that snch certificate should
be made bY one of such sisners aud
therefore think the clerk was right
in striking fro mthe petition all the
names upon this amendment
/ think the clerk was not justified
in striking off all of the names naon
what he calls as the illegible list.
Some of those names We're deciphered
and counted upon other lists and my
conclusion is that peremptory writ
Of mandamus should issue requiring
the CLERK to count all OF the names
upon the petition for a recall that ap-
pear upon the registration books OF
the city whether they appear upon the
registration books of the particular
ward in which the petitioner now re-
sides or not and that he shall not
strike from the petition any names
except those who have not registered
at all. or who have withdrawn from
the petition, or those upon the amend
ed petition whose signatures were not
properly verified as required by the
charter.
From the names thus to be count
| ed ii appears that the petition will
be sufficient, and proving sufficient,
the clerk will be required to certify
the sufficiency to the board Of com
missioners.
