 Captain Fee, in charge of the work
 of the Salvation army here on Mon
 day distributed in many stores boxes,
 in which donations toward the army's fund for a Christmas dinner for the poor of Putnam may be depositel. The army workers here expect to provide
 dinners for 150 persons this year.
 This will entail heavy expense, as provisions are high. In view of the general prosperity of its industries and the city generally, it is hoped that the gifts for the dinner this year will be general.
 Gifts of fruit and vegetables and other things that enter into the rnak- ing of Christmas dinner will also be gratefully reiceved by the army work CTS. The giving of such things and the need of them it is hoped will be equalized. Vegetables and fruit from farmers will be very much appreciat- ed. The gifts for the dinner are to be ceived at the army headquarters over Dresser's store.
 Two weeks before Christmas, the army's kettle is to be placed in posi- tion in the business section, as has been done during the holiday season for several years past.
 For Thanksgiving the army work CTS are to distribute some fruit and tempt to arrange a dinner, as is to be done at Christmas.
 Spanish War Souvenirs. Mementoes of the Spanish war are 1 shown in the window of F. K Lu- cier's store by Fayette Wright of Pomfret. There is a six inch shell from the Spanish battleship Maria Teresa, a smaller one from the Viz 1 caya and a still smaller one from the Cristobal Colon of the Spanish fleet 1 that was sent to their destruction off
 Santiago on July 3. 1898, by the
 American fleet under Sampson and | Schley.
 l The large shell is merely a shell case, what remained after it's heavy
 charge was sent flying in the direction of one of the ships of the American fleet. The shell of medium size has
 had it's explosives removed, but the
 little shell is loaded and presumably still dangerous.

In the recent accounts of the fight

from Berlin under the heading The

the Berliner Tageblatt discovered in
July that the Hesperian was used to

In the same newspaper appear ar

The possibility that the Hesperian
was the victim of an English mine is
very great"
George Bernhard, writing in the

much as at no time was there any
danger of a rupture between Washing

alter the reference to Americas origi-
nal point of view and the promise to
torpedo passenger steamers in the
future only after due warning. Count
Won Bernstorffs declaration is to be
understood only as an expression of
desire to remain on friendly terms
with Washington and must not be In
terpreted either as. an admission OF
