the vote for presidential electors in
several of the close states. Examina-
ton of the decisions of the supreme
court and of the revised statutes dis
closed that the electors are plainly re-

court has held in two leading cases
that questions of their proper or i'm

not lawfully concerned even if frauu

GRACE CHURCH NOTES
$941.OO Raised in so Minutes at Morn
ing SerVice-Other Items.

When church service began at the
Grace Methodist Episcopal church
Sunday morning, interest money to
the amount of $1,000 was due, which
before the services closed had dwin-
died to less than 500, with that also
in sight. After explaining the situa
ton, Rev. G. A. Martin got to action,
and Immediately, within so minutes of
the first call, had raised $941. The
generous response was highly crafty
ing to the pastor and also obviated
the necessity of using money that had
been raised to apply on the principle.
The meeting of the Woman's For
eign Missionary society which was to
have been held with Mrs. Simonds
Thursday, and the meeting of the
Grace Unity club, to have been held
at the church Friday evening, have
been postponed a week on account or
the decease of Mrs. Harland B. Howe.

Less Baggage Trouble.

The Boston & Maine railroad has
issued orders that after December
declaration of the value of baggage
or property transported in baggage
cars of the road will not be required
unless desired.
On June 1, 1915. the road, in COM
mon with others in the East, issued
orders requiring that the owner or
shipper of each piece of baggage for
interstate traffic should declare its
value before checking it. This has
caused much delay at the baggage
rooms and the change will be well
coined by travelling public and rail-
road employees alike.

Norwich To Hold Winter Tournament.


The authorities and cadets of Nor
wich university are planning to hold
a winter tournament sometime this
winter. No other college in New
England has a more ideal location for
such an event than Norwich. There
are plenty Of hills of all degrees of
grade and length, a surplus of snow,
and several basins which could be
made into good skating Kinks. Every
year there are a great many cadets
who spend most of their time which
they have to spare during the winter
on snowshoes or skis. Hockey is also
a favorite sport. The plan is to put
all this latent ability and enthusiasm
to a good purpose and have a tourna-
ment which will make NOrwich
known throughout New England as
the college where winter sports re-
ceive their due attention
