OLD SCHOOL WEEK BALANCE Nearly $f5o Remains After Meeting All Bills of Big Celebration.

When the Old School and Home week project was first preached last winter, and from then on until the successful celebration was held in June, many were heard to say that they were in flavor. of the plan but were afraid that the financial demands would not be met. The committee, however made no statement other than all bills would be paid, and that this was no idle statement is attest ed by the reports made at the final meeting fthe general committee Tuesday, showing $1,934.62 collected, and $s1, ,790.65 expended, leaving a balance of nearly S150.
 Seventy five dollars of this balance will be given to Edward F. Kramer, who lost a COW indirectly by virtue of the celebration, the animal eating grass saturated with poisonous mat ter from the barrels used in the big bonfire the night of the start of the good time. The balance will go to the Windham High school to aid in the expense of publishing the souvenir copy of the Wyndonian, brought out in connection with the event.
 Such a happy ending to the biggest week in Willimantic history is a mat ter of great satisfaction and the gen eral committee, especially Chairman George F. Taylor, Secretary Kath- erine J. Spaulding, Treasurer F. D. Jordan and H. c. Lathrop aer being highly complimented for their share in the result.

THINGS QUIET POLITICALLY
Prediction of Republican Victory --WorI<ers Not Saying Much Just Yet.

Although election day is not far off. there seems to be little talk on the . streets as yet relative to the chances of the various candidates for prefer ment. E. P. Chesbro makes strong candidate for first selectman on the Republican ticket, and the members of the party feel confident that he will be elected. On the other hand, their opponents say that in nominating James P. Mustard, a young man with many friends, who has held other pub lie offices creditably, they have made a hard fight certain for the republi- cans.
 Outside of the fight for first position, however, there is not much doing yet. But then, of late years. there has not been the excitement and talk pre- ceeding ah election that has occurred at times in the past. In the main the voters make up their minds, and step up to the polls when the time comes to register their choice, and they will doubtless do the same this year. Most of the real work does not show much on the surface, anyway. The bulk of opinion seems to be that this is Republican year.

 Naples. Sept 22. via Paris. T.O5 p. m.--Dr. Richard P. Strong. head o; the American Sanitary commission in Serbia, is on his way to the United States and expects to take the next steamer from Naples. He said today that the majority of the American doctors who have been engaged in Red Cross work in Serbia would leave that country on October 1, feeling assured that. because of the measures that had been taken that it was unlikely another epidemic would afflice Serbia, particularly as the people themselves were fully informed of the best ways to prevent contagion.
 The entire Serbian army and mem bers of the people had been vaccinated against cholera and typhus. Dr. Strong said the vaccine being manufactured for the most part in the American Red Cross laboratory. By August 20 last virtually all the epidemics that had been raging in the country were suppressed, and the spread of typhus In Montenegro had been prevented by adopting energetic sanitary measures,
 Dr. Strong described the situation ir Serbia when the American commis- sion arrived as grave. owing to the widespread scope of the epidemic hay ing caused demoralization and tls' lack of doctors, whose numbers haS been depleted because of the war anC I OtSeaSe- Inere was a lew E-nRnSn French and Russian doctors working
