SUICIDE
 RATHER THAN TESTIFY

Alice Beaumont, residing at No. 26 Washington street. New London, where she conducted a lodging house, at- tempted suicide Wednesday morning by swallowing liberal quantity of carbollc acid. She is now under treatment at Lawrence hospital, where in the afternoon it was said her con ditipn was much improved, although she is not out of danger. Following her admission at s.So o'clock, Miss Beaumont's condition was considered extremely grave, but after noon a change for the better occurred.
 Dependency is attributed as the cause for the woman's desire to end her life, for she hroeded the greater part of Tuesday because she had re- eeived a summons to appear as a wit ness Wednesday in the superior court at Norwich in the case against James Stodard, who is charged with robbery. and also notice to appear in the probate court at 8 hearing for the final accounting of the administrator of the estate of Martin M. Corey, Miss Beaumont had a horror of court pro- ceedings, especially being witness, and she clearly showed the effect the subpoenas had upon her during all day Tuesday.
 Wednesday morning Miss Beaumont rose about o'clock. Going to the sink room, no notice was paid to her by a negress who was employed there performing general household duties. Miss Beaumont appeared ins good spirits and no particular attention was paid to her. visit to the sink room. While the negress was engaged at her duties Miss Beaumont called to her, stating that "here is the end of it all" and at the same time swallowing the acid which she had poured from a bot ] tie into a glass. Miss Beaumont then
 came from the room and going to a l'eoueh laid down. Then the negress
 realized her mistress act, for Miss Beaumont iapsed into unconsciousness 1 and suffered labored breathing A hurry call was sent for physicians
 but none responded until about 5 l o'clock, when Dr. E. C. Chipman put l in an appearance. A nasty examina :
 ton revealed Miss Beaumont's act and
 she was speedily removed to the hos l pital.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES
 BEGIN THEIR CONFERENCES

The six Congregational churches of Griswold, Hanover, Preston City, Lis bon, Plainfeld and Preston, which have, through a long series of years, been linked together in a local con ference, began a new year, as always, with meeting at GrisWold on the first Wednesday of September. The Gris- weid church had prepared for the or- casion with elaborate floral decera- tions, a bountiful dinner and well filled program.
 The short forenoon session was like Sunday morning service. Five min isters sat upon the pulpit platform, each taking part. The new pastor at Preston City Thomas J.- Lewis preached the sermon, which was full of telling points, one being that good things like liberty can never die, but evil things like kaiserism must perish. After the sermon the venerable eJeptha Bill, about 95 years of age, spoke a few words in the way of reminiscence.
 Singing held a prominent place in the forenoon, the choir presenting a spirited anthem and the congregation joining with fervor in such hymns as
 Faith of Our Fathers and The Chureh's One Foundation. During the intermission piano recital was given by Miss Viva F. Richardson, teacher at Northfield seminary Music again held sway in the afternoon when W. B. Montgomery conducted praise ser vice and 8 ladies quartette from Can
 terpu>y Green rendered two selections, the first being Companionship With Jesus.
 Most of the afternoon was given up to the missionary hour and the patri- l otic hour. A missionary from India Alden 1T. Clark, gave vivid account l Of what that country is doing. both
 at home and as a powerful army in i France. This paved the way to what ] was more strictly patriotic and the
