PLAINFELD
Four Wanderers Arrive by Freight But Beat 1t When Officer is Notified Clarence Wipsor Manager, of Basket ball Team.

Four lads came into town some time Tuesday night or early yesterday morning. They came from Worcester by freight. They made Plainfield their stopping place and proceeded to make things comfortable for rest. A large quantity of wood and some good boards were secured and a large fire was started near the railroad station on the Providence and Willimantic line. In the morning they still had a fife burning and the constable was notified of their actions. It is believed that some person informed the lads that the officer of the law had been summoned, as they left their warm fire suddenly and started down the raidroad track, and when the officer put in his appearance they had left Plainfield quite distance behind them.
 For some time hoboes have been making regular calls at the houses of the stownspeople, especially those in the old village, which are so near the railroad track. Regularly Sunday morning one or two of these wander CTS can be seen making the rounds of the houses of the village. A large number visit Plainfield often, either because they like the town or the gen. erosity of the people. Most of these men are young and well fitted for work, but care nothing for it.

JEWETT CITY
Largest Crowd Ever at Christmas Bazaar of Congregational Church. Sudden Death of Waiter L. FieIds.


 The annual Christmas bazaar con ducted by the Ladies society of the Congregational church, was held in the church parlors Tuesday afternoon and evening. So large a crowd has never been present at any fair at this church, people coming from Norwich, Norwich Town, Lisbon, Glasgo, Wind ham Center. Plainfleld and Voluntown. The room was a bower of Christmas coloPs. Around the walls was a bor- der of bunting and all the supports were hidden with small trees Branch es of hemlock were arranged over the folding doors and mirror, and on the border. Poinsettias were lavish ly used and the glitter of tinsel and other bright decorations on the tables gave additional touches of color. The platform was filled with small Christ mas trees, in the center of which was an enormous red stocking. Here a real Santa Claus, impersonated by William Marshall, delighted the lit tie ones hearts-excepting those who dy and cookery found a ready sale. In the parlor were the fancy, domestic and shirtwaist tables and if these ar ticles were too expensive for any de- pleted pocketbook, then there was the penny table and ice cream.
 The center of attraction was the fortune teller's booth. The fortune teller, Miss Lena Whitecreft, was fairly uncanny in her reading of the future. Those who entered the gypsy wigwam to scoff, came out amazed. The young lady has an unmistakable talent for palmistry, telling her pa irons of facts in their histories of which she could know absolutely noth- ing.
 A supper of chicken pie. boiled onions, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, pumpkin pie and coffee was served to over two hundred. Cut flowers and ferns found a ready sale. Among those present from out of town were Mrs. Nelson Robinson and Mrs. Sarah Spofford and Mrs. w. H. Fitch, pr. and Mrs Alfred Richards. Miss Janice Richards. MT. and Mrs. Will L. Stearns of Norwich, Mir. and Mrs. Robert Wilbur of Glasgo, Rev. MT. Reynolds.

prised. Following Prayer Meeting.
 Having previously arranged for the use of their cosy home on Hutchins street for a prayer meeting led by Rev. H. N. Brown of the Pentecostai church, about 30 friends gathered with MT. and Mrs. Emory l.. Tubbs Tues day evening for surprise celebration of the golden anniversary of their marriage. The surprise was complete, as had been intended and the affair proved a most joyous one for all con- cerned. The prayer meeting was held as arranged, but there was combined with the evenings religious service a period for congratulating MT and Mrs. Tubbs, for presenting them gifts and for other happy features.
 Mir. and Mrs. Tubbs were married November 30, 1865. at Colrain City, Mass, near Greenfield. This was soon after MT. Tubbs' discharge from the Union army at the close of the Civil war. The bride was before her mar riage Miss Clara F. Bagg. daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles H. Bagg, and was born January 30, 1s41. at Ber- nardstown, Mass. MT, Tuhbs, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Tubbs, was born August 12, 1889, at Guilford, Vt.
 Soon after their marriage MT. and Mrs. Tubbs removed to Indiana, where they remained for seven years. They afterwards lived in Vermont, Kansas, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, but for the past 3S years, with the ATcep-

On the whole, how ever, there is little interest manifested and most of the work is of the quiet variety. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn is confident of reelection and the sup porters of George F. Taylor the re- publican candidate, claim that he will do better than was the case two years ago, when Mayor Dunn won out by scant hundred votes. The republicans are counting on the recent trend toward republican control throughout the country, and the democrats on the mayors popularity, both in and out of his party

Discussing Matter of Town Aid.

In the opinion of many who heard the discussion at the Board of Trade rooms Tuesday night in regard to whether the town should continue to give the United Charities association financial support, the result of the agi- tation will be finally to withhold such support from both the charities organ ization, the Needlework Guild and St. Joseph's hospital. It looks as if, should one receive no support, it would be hard to convince it's ad- herents that the others should con- tinue to be aided. As stated at the meeting, the town has a right to give financial aid, if a consideration is re- turned therefor. Others. however, take the ground that no private, organiza- tion should receive aid.
