McConkey, a veteran member of the New Britain fire de- partment, succumbed to a long ill- ness at his home, 97 Winter street, this morning. He was 59 rs of age and a native of Ireland. At the of three vears he came to this with his parents and has since a continuous resident. The will he held at 2 o'clock Fri- afternoon at his late residence. Samuel Sutcliffe will officiate at the service. For many years Mr. McConkey was one of the best liked members of the city fire department. In 1889, in the regime of John W. Carlton as | ef, he was named a member of Engine Company No. 2 and until 1896 he remained in service. Owing ion he left the depart- | and was out of service four years. In 1896, he was again named, his time with ngine Company No. 1. and he served until 1900 when he was placed on the retired list, with a pension from the Firemen's Pension and Relief association. Fraternally was a charter member of the New ngland Order of Protection and a charter member of Court Friendly, F. of A, and the Firemen’s Pension and Relief association He is survived by his Thomas McConkey York, and a sister Mrs. ley of this ecity city been funeral day Rev. ment wife, a of New | Harry What- GUESTS AT C. \R\YV\L‘ Eyes Pop Out at Wonders | of m’s Shows, Two newsboys were overheard dis cussing Finr rnival Shows, which | they visited last evening together with about 200 other paper boys as guests | of Manager Banks. “Golly, didya see the woman with snakes?

He aid that since March 21 Great Britain s had 300,000 casualties, and a! grand total of 2,000,000 casualties This does not include Canada, which | s had 125,000 casualties, of thi number he said fully 5,000 lay buried in the fields of Flanders, where | the poppies grow. He sald that in Canada men have been taken from the streets, from banks, from business offices and other occupations and have | been replaced by women. He then referred to the present draft in Canada and said that fully $00.000 Canadians did not wait for the draft, but volunteered. Dr. Hull explained that Canada has only about 7.000,- | 000 people and has already given a half million soldiers To compare with Canada the United States must put at least 2,000,000 men at the front and 5,000,000 in uniform. The city of Toronto alone has given 60,000 sol- | diers, he declared, and its citizens have given $25,000,000 to the war. Will F ght to Iast Man. “Canada expects great things of America. We rely on you, so do not fail us in this drive”, Dr. Hull plead- ed. Referring to the spirit and morale of Canada, he said that despite the sorrows of war the men and women will not give wup. “They will not call our boys back, even if they could, and in so doing leave some- body else’s boy and girl unprotected,” Dr. Hull asserted. Touching upon the ! present drive of the Germans Dr. Hull admitted that it is within the range of possibility that the Huns may take the channel ports, but if they do, he | added. “the Anglo-Saxon race will fight on. The Anglo-Saxon will fight long as there is a single Anglo- Saxon left to fight. They will continue the war.” When Dr. Hull concluded his ad- dress Chairman Bennett called for three rousing cheers for “our Cana- dian brothers” and Dr, Hull immed- itely responded with a call for “three cheers for the President of the United States.” All were given with a will. Laborer Offers Week's Wages. While some people—fortunately a small minority—are figuring how little they dare give to the worthy Red Cross fund, the example of Daniel Higgins, employed by the sewer de- partment as a laborer, who cleans catch basins, should serve as a stan- dard of loyalty, love of humanity and generosity. When asked vesterday afiernoon if he desired to give to the Red Cross war fund, and when its principle was explained, he immedi- ately said: “Sure; you can week's envelope.” Yesterday was pay day and he promptly turned over the entire pay to the canvasser. TInasmuch as it would have been uncalled for to have this man give his all, the solicitor de- clined to take the entire amount, but | accepted a generous contvibution. Contrasted to this was the action of three day laborers employed by the board of public works. These men earn a minimum of $3 per dayv for nine hours and offered, grudgingly, to give §1 each. Alderman Angelo M.
