Again after three years he disposed of his holdings to his partner and the mext year acted as superintendent and manager of the Moulthrop yards, New Britain, and during the two follow- ing years he held a similar post in the raanufactory of Caleb Johnson, New- fleld. From this point he moved to Berlin, where he entered into contract with Frederick Styles to manufacture trick by the thousand. - Mr. Styles sold a.half interest to C. P. Merwin and Mr. Jacobs was placed in charge. After a year he went to North Haven to manufacture brick for Frank Styles and after a year he and Mr. Styles formed a co-partnership. After two years he sold his interest to his part- ner and returned to Berlin where he formed a partnership with George R. Pierpont, under the name of the Ber- lin Brick company. Two years later he bought out his partner and for the last decade conducted the business alone. The capacity of the works was from seven to eight million bricks o year, and he employed from forty’to | sixty men.. In addition to this he was first vice president .and treasurer of the Berlin ‘Wheel company. It was through his efforts that the plant was established in Berlin in 1899. In 1891 Mr. Jacobs purchased prop- erty on Worthington Ridge and built 'a handsome home. He has been twice married. His first wife, to whom he was united in 1861, was Miss Sarah Riggs, by whom he had one daughter, ‘Mary Delphine, born Sep- tember 16, 1869. After the death of his first wife, on June 29, 1877, he married Miss Mary Maria_ Palmer, ho was born in North Haven in 1852, daughter of Jasper E. and Delia j Ann Palmer. To the secomd marriage one daughter, Vivian Irene, was born, in 1886. Mr. Jacobs was a republican in pol- itics and his father before him was a Whig. In 1896 he was nominated for the legislature in the most largely attended census ever held in Berlin, by a vote of.two to one over his op- ponent, Daniél Webster. In 1900 he was elected by a large majority to represent the town in the General As- sembly and, owing to his knowledge of industrial interests, became a mem- ber of the manufacturing committee. |@octally he was a member of = the t eouncfl.

On Friday evening at 7:45 in the town hall there will be a public meet- ing to which the parents and friends ,of the school children are invited. 'The . school authorities have been planning. this meeting for some time past in order that the parents might get in closer touch with the work be- ing done by their children. The pro- gram will be divided into two parts the first being devoted to the showing of the modern methods of teaching in the schools today. There will be several school room scenes at which ‘one of the teachers will demonstrate the art of teaching. ‘The second part will be taken up by speakers who will tell how the community and the school should work together. Mrs. W. H. Goddard of Wallingford who has had five years of community work will de- liver, the principal talk of the eve- ning. It is the intention of the au- thorities to form community clubs which will work with the schools. ‘With the Home Guard. % ‘The rally meeting for the purpose of .of enlisting a Home Guard for the Town of Berlin will: be held in the town hall tonight at 8 o'clock. Indi- cations already point to one of the finest turnouts of the man power ever seen in the town and there is little doubt but what theTguard will re- <ruit as fine a representative body of men as any other place In the state. In Order that any questions may be answered §n regard to the enlistment, etc.,, Captain C. W. Burpee of Hart- ford will be on hand to give the nec- essary information. The hall has been decorated with American flags ‘and makes a very imposing appear- ance. There are ten recruiting offi- cers for the town and within the next few days they are expected to have their hands full with men waiting to enlist. Berlin In the past has ‘never failed to -turn, out when the call to enlist came and. this call will be no exception to- the rule of the past. Briefs. The Grange will give another pop- ular dance on Friday night. A second case of scarlet fever has ‘been reported on Berlin street. A marriage license has been issued to Miss Pearl C.

Oath—Sewer District Meeting. Proud of the flag and the prinei- ‘ples it represents the citizenry of Plainville turned out solidly to parti- cipate in a patriotic rally held last evening in the Town hall in connec- tion with the preliminaries for the organization of the local unit of the Home Guard. It was one of the larg- est gatherings ever held in the town and the capacity of the hall was taxed to its utmost, the attendance being 80 large that admittance was gained with difficulty’ after the meeting opened. Enthusiasm ran high from the start and the “spirit of ‘76" was constantly in evidence, the men mnk. ing a patriotic response to the appeal to enlist in the home guard, that their town and state might be protected in case’ the anticipated declaration of war places Connecticut in danger. The response far exceeded the ex- pectations of the recruiting commit- tee, the members of which a few days ago felt that therp would be cause for gratification of/a company of sev- enty men could be raised to drill and prepare to guard Plainville. When the spéakes of the evening, Attorney B. M. Holden of Hartford, after an eloquent address on patriotism and an urgent appeal to the men of the country to make preparations to de- fend the Stars and Stripes, invited his ‘auditors to signify their willing- ness to become affiliated with the new organzation, 115 loyal Americans stepped forth to give their names and to ask to have them placed on the Home Guard roll. There was not a slacker in the hall and the old men and young alike pledged themselves to do their share toward maintaining the jndependence of their country and the right of its citizens to their free- dom. It was an impressive spectacle. Over a hundred men of all ages, im- bued with the spirit of patriotism and eager to show their loyalty, pushing forward to- the recruiting committee to make their .pledge. They proved that they are ready to make. whatever sacrifices that may be necessary to show that Plainville people are proud of their heritage and are prepared to defend the flag of their country. Attorney Holden's address was punctuated frequently with applause as the men grew enthusiastic over the phrases which came from his lips. The lawyer- cautioned the men against looking too lightly on a situation which is fraught with peril to the nation and which has such grave possibilities. He urged the young men to join the army, navy or National Guard and pleaded with those whose age or responsibilities ‘would make it unwise for them to re- spond to the first call to the colors to show that they possess the proper spirit by becoming members of the Home Guard The number respond- ing shows where the men of Plainville LOOK AT CHILD’S TONGUE IF SICK, CROSS, FEVERISH Hurry, Mother!

It was announced during the eve- ning that the recruiting committee, 8. 8. Gwillim, chairman, E. H. Hills and P. J. Prior, will be at the post- office every night for the balance of the week from 7 to 8 o'clock to formally enroll the members and to administer the Home Guard oath. They will also be on hand Saturday afternoon for the same purpose. ‘Tonight a large number of enlist- ment's are expected. Some of those ‘who gave their names at last evening’s rally were around today to formally enlist and they filled out the necessary blanks. Among the first to-make an appearance was Joseph F. Dimes of Crown street. Mr. Dimes is employed in New Britain at night and he has made arrangements to drill with the membership as a Plainville Home New Britain unit although holding a Guard. Others are expected to respond to- night and the committee is antici- pating a very busy session. It will probably be a week before the work of enlisting is complete and the call for drills can be issued. Recruiting Office Here With Corporals Livingstone - and Madeley in charge, Company I of the First Connecticut infantry opened a recruiting station in Prior's store to- day. The corporals will remain at the store until contrary orders are re- ceived from their superior officers and will make an effort in Plainville to help swell the ranks until war strength is attained by the troop. The town is contributing its full quota towards the New Britain com- panies, having at present eight young men in the ranks. They are Corporals Livingstone, Madeley and Burgess and Privates Roberts, Barnes, Shap- ruzzi, Bartlett and Livingstone. g George A Lakay called on Post- master Prior today for information as to the requirements for enlisting and he was sent to New Britain before the local recruiting office was opened to Join Company I. John Andrews, aged 18, of Mountain View, also showed his patriotism by signifying his inten- tion to fight for the flag. He is anx- ious to join the regular army and Postmaster Prior advised him to seek the consent of his mother as he is under age. ‘When the call for volunteers is is- sued, should the anticipated war declaration become a reality, it is ex- pected the town will give further proof of its loyalty. Petition Dismissed. Ruling that the necessary proof had not been furnished, Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler yes- terday dismissed the petition of John Carlo of this place for compensation for the period during which he was disabled last fall. Carlo had claimed that he was laid up because of an ac- cident at the plant of the Trumbull Electric company in August. He was incapaciated from work by ‘a rupture, which he claimed developed from the injury he sustained. The Travelers Insurance company which protects the Trumbull people under the employ- erg’ liability law set forth that he had the rupture before the date of his in- jury, a contention which the com- missioner upheld in making his de- cision. Sewer District Mecting. Joseph T. McCarthy, acting as clerk of the sewer district committee, today issued the call for the annual meeting of the voters of the district to be held in the Town hall on Monday, Aprit 2. The meeting is ordered in compli- ance with the district’s by-laws and it is understood the committee has made no plans for the renewal of efforts to bring about the construction of a sys- tem of sewage disposal. ‘There is strong sentiment for a sew- er but whether the voters will see fit at the coming meeting to take steps towards its construction is uncertain. ‘The meeting will elect a district com- mittee. Originally a committee of seven rep- resented the district but following the action of the voters in turning down a proposition for the building of a sewer the numbers was reduced to three, C. H. Calor, F. T. Wheeler and J. T. McCarthy. Brief Items. Fred J. Dimes, U. 8. Cavalry, who is now stationed in New Mexico, ex- pects to come home within a week for a short furlough.

Demand on Premier Ballot for Women, London, March 27.—A new demand for the immediate grant of the suf- frage to women has been made on Premier Lloyd George by Mrs. Em- maline Pankhurst. In a letter to the premier Mrs. Pankhurst recalls his speech in the house of commons on March 7 in which he expressed the readiness of the government to grant self-government to Ireland without walting for the end of the war. She adds: “We take it for ‘nntad that you make the same offer to us and that you are prepared, duming the war and without delay, to give us self-govern- ment in the shape of the parliamen- tary vote. We declare 'our whole hearted acceptance of the offer, which is 80 very obviously implied in the offer to Ireland, of a government measure of woman suffrage to be carried into law immediately.” Corns Loosen Off With Magi_c:'Gets-lt” 2 Drops Do the Work, Painlessly. «“T tell you, before I heard of ‘Gets-It’ L used to try one thing after another for corns.
