ACTIVE AND WELL AT 90.
Mrs. William Wood Busy and Alert Starting to Make Guilt of 1000 Pieces.

Mrs Mary Ardelta Wood passed her ninetieth birthday Saturday at the home of her son, Byron Wood, East Franklin street. It is one thing to reach the age of ninety, an. allotment of years that comes to so few, and quite another thing to travel on to that advanced outpost of life retaining ones faculties in all the freshness and Virility of long past decades. Such. nevertheless, is the case with Mrs. Wood. She is a grand old lady, but but old in years only. She is active, alert and as interested in what is hap pening in October, 1915. as she was in what was happening during the Civil war days, or even a score of years before that time, if you please.
 Mrs. Wood does not sit idly about dreaming of days past and gone. She lives in the present, with the long trail of the past to be scanned from the heights of life when she cares to She is a busy woman. She has her daily round of duties, which includes an almost all-the-year-round care of a flower garden with its tender and hardy plants, her sewing and many other interests. Recently she com pleted the work of putting together a quilt that contains more than 1000 pieces.
 Mrs. Wood follows current events from day to day and, incidentally, reads The Bulletin every morning and reads without glasses. What is going on in the world is information she has at her minds command as promptly as anyone.
 Her health is normal and life holds much of pleasure for her. Her chill dren and grandchildren and great grandchildren are about her and all are a source of happiness.
 Mrs. Wood Is the widow of William Wood who for many years was a night watchman in Danielson. There are five living children-George N. Wood oi
 New Rochelle, N. Y, Byron, Mrs. E.
 H. Hammett, Mrs. J. Herbert Lyon all of Danielson, and Mrs. John Cogs- well of Oakland Beach, R. I. Foul
 of Mrs. Woods children are dead
 There are seven grandchildren and five | great t-grandchildren.
 Mrs. Wood was born in Sterling but
 has lived in this town the greater part of her life and here the hope of all hel friends is that she shall live to round out a full century of years and moro
 as her fine condition of health inGi- | cates she may.

In the presence of Princess August Wilhelm, who represented the empress; many members of Won Hindenburg's family, the chancellor and other dis tinguished officials a huge wooden monument of Field Marshal Won Hin denburg was unveiled in the Konigs- platz, in Berlin, close to the column of Victory. The Second Masurian Infan- try regiment, No. 147, which disting- uished itself in the battle of the Ma surfan lakes and which since has car ried the name of Hindenburg, had a deputation of officers present who were acclaimed. Fifty-two thousand pounds of alder wood were needed for the statue. Gold, silver and iron nails are to be driven into the statue by the donors to war hospital charities, the drivers of the iron nails, paying 50 pfennigs (about 12 cents) for each nail, and the gold and silver nails pay ing higher prices. When the entire statue is full of nails, thus virtually converting 1t into metal, 1t will be transferred to Won Hindenburg' s country estate.

BRITISH TARIFF INNOVATION
 DEVELOPING OPPOSITION.
H Any Protective Tariff Survives the War It Will Be Aimed at LuNuries.


 London. Oct. II Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The new budget with its tarifr innovations. to which the free traders acQuiesced quite willingly at first. has developed strong opposition to further tariff changes and even to some already de- cided on- If any protective tarir sur wives the war. 1t will probably be aimed only at certain Iuxuries and some products which Germany had succeeded in monopolizing before the war.
 The new tobacco and tea tax is held up by the liberal organs as an object lesson in the effects of protection There has always been a duty tax on these articles. simply as a means of raising revenue Tea and tobacco are both controlled by trusts.
 In anticipation of budget changes. the tea and tobacco importers, who always keep an immense stock on hand. had been importing stocks to last for years. With the first rumors of the new budget. they began to take their goods out of bond. This was prevented to some extent by the arbi- trary action of the chancellor of the exchequer in the few days preceding the announcement of the new budget.
 Under the new budget. the duty on tea was increased eight cents pound and tobacco a bit under three cents an ounce. But the day following the reading of the new budget in parlia- ment the tobacco trust announced a new scale for retailers. advancing the price of pipe tobacco four cents an ounce. while cigarettes were put up about 25 per cent pack, which weighs but part of an ounce. A three penny packet now costs four-pence, Most firms charge four cents extra on picket of 10 cigarettes. which run , IF to the half ounce.
 The new budget, the free traders point out. simply gave the trusts a chance to shove up the prices of stocks already held in the limit of the new tarir wall They win pocket millions of dollars that should have gone to the government. Perhaps 1t will be years in some cases before the wholesaleE begins to pay duty.
 Tea is controlled by a few big firms who act in harmony. These firms con- trol a system of tea shops-cheap res taurants corresponding to the coffee houses in Misunderstanding all over England. One firm has tea counters In every railway station in England and tea shops in every town of im-
