PREiA1oNTTIoNs.

Is there anything in ''premoni- tions?'
 We are hearing a great deal today about t'premonitions,'' ghosts spirits" .'communications," and the like. Is there anything in ''premoni- tions?''
 The proverbs of the world, arising from human experience, and the cul- imitation of acts, have sealed their answer to this question: Coming events cast their shadows before,'' "The Future has it's footsteps in the Present. etc. To trouble ourselves about "premonitions' to get anxious. angry, upset, at a premonition. is eninently foolish. To the Christian (indeed the idea prevails in heather | philosophical each event is guided by an A1l-seeing One. But-that there ] is a tremendous realm called the
 b-Conscious'' within each of us, which slrbt1y influences us to do or leave undone certain things to which we feel drawn and which have a 1 direct bearing on our future, cannot | be gainsaid nor denied.
 What mysterious ''premonition'' or l monition from the '+Sub-Conscious' 1 within, him of a disastrous future, and just on account of the deed he was doing, influenced and impelled I the Great Napoleon, the calm, the | logical, Napoleon, to cause d medal ! to be struck commemorating this day
 (the Day we Celebrate). It was the 1 day, April 1, in 1S1O, of the State Marriage of Napoleon Bonaparte with 1 Marie Louise of Austria. The mar l riage was celebrated at the palace of l St. Cloud.

SEVEN LAST WORDS,

 Dubois cantata is especially fitting on this day, both in text and compost ton. From the devotional stand point Dubois has undoubtedly rem dered a great service to church music in that he has joined the most dra- matic and touching story of the Bible with a quality and type of music of powerful interest.
 As in previous years the church will be open to the public.

WORLD OF SPORTS

Tom McDermott's Braves, the strongest aggregation of baseball players in this end of the state, went over to Willimantic, Sunday, to help the American Thread Company's team close their season. The weather was ideal and the season was closed in due form but not to the satisfaction of the threadmakers or their supporters, for the Braves added one more scalp to their already large collection. The visitors won the game to 3.
 The game was a pitchers battle, only ten hits being recorded. The Braves broke the ice in the third when they batted three runs in and again in the fifth sent in another pair. This was all done off Schwartz, who pitched for Reading in the International league all summer.
 There was little unpleasantness in the fifth when Powers was hit by a pitched ball, lost his temper and took couple of jabs at the pitcher. Pow CTS claimed that Schwartz had made an insulting remark to him. After considerable wrangling both men were taken from the game. The two belligerents shook hands and made up before they left the ball park.
 The team from Willie did not get to Gere until the fifth when they made two runs on a base on balls, a sacri- fee and couple of singles. They scored again in the sixth, but after that Gero got back into his stride and although Willimantic fans called for a rally the batters could not deliver the goods.
 Hughes. Gero and Duggan of the Braves contributed fielding features.

THREE CARS IN SMASH
Autos and Truck Figure In Saturday
 Afternoon Mix-up

A second hand Buick, Dodge se- dan, and q Ford truck figured in a three cornc,ed mixup near the Congregational church during the busy time last Saturday afternoon. Many people were on the street but fortunately no one was seriously in- jured.
 While the Dodge dodged onto the sidewalk in front of Lombardo's fruit store, Louis Lombardo tried to dodge the Dodge but was not successful. Louis was struck in the right hip, knocked down and one of the wheels of the car passed over his leg. He was only slightly injured. Louis lit tie sister and some other children were nearby but escaped by lodging into the store. The crash and the break ing of glass brought storekeepers and clerks from their work and large crowd gathered.
 An eye witness of the accident says that the Dodge sedan, driven by Rev. J. Spencer Voorhees of Pomfret, was coming south on Main street. The Buick, driven by Arthur Vannose, was following close behind the Dodge. Near Lee street Vannose started to pass Mir. Voorhees, and just then car approached from the north. Van nose had two alternatives-to go ahead and smash into the approaching car or to turn in behind the Lombardo truck standing beside the curb. Van nose chose the latter course. and as he turned in toward the curb his ear hit the fender of the Dodge car and the Dodge car was turned toward the sidewalk. The Buick bumped into the truck, smashing the headlights and front end of the Buick and slightly damaging the truck The sedan took the sidewalk and ran to point south of the Lombardo store before it was stopped.
 1, Louis Lombardo was standing be- side the truck. Two other men were seated in the truck. All saw the smash and Louis tried to get out of the way but was knocked down. Oth- CT people, including the children, scattered and were uninjured.
 The Dodge was scarcely injured and was driven away by the owner.
