 An effort will be made to get H. A. Castle to take his place. MT. Bur- ton served as dem oorat and the selection of his successor will be left with Rev. H. T. Walsh and F. G. Os- borne. MT. Castle has been asked to accept the appointment but he has not yet given definite answer.
 The board last night besides accept ing MT. Burton's resignation confined It's attention largely to matters of a routine character. The mem bers have taken a stand against the sug- eestion that additional accommoda- tions be provided for the school chill dren by erecting new building in the eastern section of the town. They argue that when the new school house was built a few years ago the plans were so arranged that an addition of four rooms at a comparatively small cost was provided for and that the proper way to solve the problem for the present is to take advantage of

 PRAISE KIDNEY MEDICINE

Dr. K1lners Swamp Root is the best seller on the market today in this locality. I believe it is all that is claimed, and during my experience of eight years in handling it as a kid ney, liver and bladder remedy I have never heard a single complaint and know that it has produced very ben- eficial results in many cases, accord ing to the reports of my customers who praise it highly.
 Very truly yours.

 CARRIE B. POLLARD
 DIES 0F PNEUMONIA Woman Better Known As ''Berhn Beauty" Passes Away
 AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER
Victor Kaczanoski Badly Hurt When He Drives Auto Into POle-Other Winners.

Mrs. Carrie Bennett Pollard, better known as the Berlin Beauty" died Hate yesterday afternoon at the New Britain General Hospital after a three days illness with pneum onia. She was about 57 years of age. Carrie Bennett first came to Berlin with her parents about forty-one years ago and : has resided in this section ever since. Her father, Lucius Bennett, was a wealthy cattle drover in Voluntown, Conn.,, but the Civil War caused large falling off in his line of business and soon after the war he became bank rupt. The house now occupied by the w. H. Gibney family is known as the old Bennett homestead and it was while living here that Carrie received her early education. When a young girl she gave lessons in the art of making wax flowers but at the same : time she in no way neglected the chance of improving her own per sonal education. Always a student, she made rapid progress with her studies and later went to Vassar Col lege, where she completed her edu- cation. It has been said that she was one of the most beautiful and finely cultured girls in this section and even up to her death always used the best English.
 Being the best known character about the city of New Britain, many who seen her have been curious as to her reasons for so acting, and the following story, which has been told for years seems a good solution It was while still a young woman that she met and was woed by young man from a southern family who was at one time an officer in the Con- federate Cavalry. Her father object cd to the match on the grounds that ! there was still bad feeling between the north and the south and it was at this time she was said to have made the statement that he would ~regret the day of his objection as she would make people ridicule the fam fly name. Eight years ago she mar ried Albert Pollard of Granby, Conn.
 Mrs. Pollard was a. type that was studied by students of character wherever she went and her clothes brought forth az much comment as i those of the bride. Her gowns were evil 3dently picked up at various rummage sales. As business woman she was one of the cleverest and she was al- ways able to drive good bargain. Her real estate and mortgage holdings are many and various people have estimated that she is worth between
 $200,0O0 and $500,000 The body is now in Curtin's undertaking rooms but so far no funeral arrangements have been made.

Auto Strikes Pole; Driver Hurt.

While driving his touring car on the Beach Swamp road about 530 o'clock last evening Victor@l ski was thrown through the wind shield and his car smashed beyond repair. KaczanovsI,i attempted to pass between a team and the roadside, but lost control of his machine and col lided with a telegraph pole. He was found partly conscious. bleeding from cuts on his face and was dazed from the severe shock of the impact. He was thrown clear of the car and did not hit the ground until he had been thrown at least fifteen feet. The acci- dent happened in front of the G. F. Prentice company factory, and em- ployes of that concern picked the in iured man up and rushed him to the home of Dr. Griswold. His injuries consisted of bad laceration of the cheek and deep cut parallel with the nose and above the upper lip. Even after being cared for he was unable to tell much about the accident.
 Two other minor auto accidents oc cured in the eastern section of the town last evening and were due to ice on the road. One large truck con- ing up Caesar Hill skidded and was thrown into the ditch where it still remained early this morning. Another truck coming up Galpin's hill made for the side of the road and in the mixup knocked the old mile stone over and smashed down a section of fence. The latter car was able to proceed on it's way after the acci- dent.
 Whist Club Winners. The members of the Home Whist club held their first meeting of the new year at the home of Mrs. L. s.

strong drive of a million soldiers,
those under Gen. Sarrail together
with a few hundred thousand men

Greece will soon be ready to furnish,
would separate Turkey from Bulga-
