R, was held on Monday afterncon at the Norwich club, con- ducted by the regent, Mrs. B. P. Rishop, The usual reports wers made by secretary and treasurer, by Mrs. H_H. Osgood of the fountain com- mittee and by Mrs. Stark and Mrs. Lester in regard to the proposed whist. Miss Harriet C. Frisble furnished the musical part of the programme, and gave two finely rendered songs— Your Volce, by Denza, and Verbogen- gheit by Volf, which were received with much enthuslasm, and for which the encore numbers were Mr. Dream- maker, and My Shadow. Mrs, Coxeter accompanied. The papers on Norwich founders were continued and three in- teresting ones were read. Lieut. Thomas Leffingwell. Mrs. Bela P. Learned described Lieut, Thomas Leffingwell as a_man of charming personality, great physi- cal strength and courage, wide and generous sympathies, tdlent, tact, and judgment. His early history and ori- gin are questions of romance and mys- tery. We only hear of him in 1637, a boy hunter, and.a later friend of Uncas. She tracked the Lefingwell name and family in England where it is not found today, but was four bundred years ago. Thomas Leffing- well's most conspicuous act was his thrilling rescue of Uncas, which led in time to the founding of Norwich. Here he was a prominent man in bus- iness and government affairs, He was one of the first town officers, and was sent to 53 of the general sessions at Hartford, FHis home lot was on the corner of Washington street and the road leading to the Speltering Arms, and the old house is still standing. William and Samuel Hyde. Mrs, Burrill W. Hyde told of found- ers William Hyde and his son, Sam- uel, going back to_Sir Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon, William Hyde came with Rev. Thomas Hooker to Boston in 1633. Thence he moved to New- ton, Hartford, Saybrook, and finally to Norwich. His son Samuel was born In Hartford and Samuel's daugh. ter Elizabeth was the first white child bern in Norwich. Miss Ellen Geer told the story of Robert Allyn. He was in Salem, Mass, in 1637. Later he came to New London with the Cape Ann men of Rev. Mr. Blinman'« flock from Gloucester. Not liking the land al- lotted him there. he came up the river to Poquonoe, and settled at Allyns Point. When the others came from vbrook to Norwich, he joined them, and became one of the founders. His home was at Bean Hill, Later he went back to his farm at Allyns Point, where he died in 1683, This was an excellent point for Indlan trade. De- oe mountain, formerly Allyn hill, was his lookout for Indians in troub- lous times, Nine Miles Sauare. Mrs. Elisha E. Rogers concluded this series with a map and description of the nihe mils equare deeded by the Indians in June, 1659, and called Mo- hegan. She traced the landing of the proprietors at the Falls and then up- on another map of the Town street gave the names and location of the home lots of each of the original pro- prietors. The Reynolds homestead is the only one remaining today in the hands of descendants of the same name. After the meeting tea was served by the social committee, Mrs. Irving Gifford being chairman.

Franklin Square, Norwich, Cl.l jan26d P -Sessions Held at First and Central Churches—Instructive Addresses by Clergy of the State Upon Different Phases of the Work for Men. ! In connmection with the January meeting of the New London County Baptist Ministers’ conference, held Monday at the First Baptist church, there were morning and atternoon s2s. sions of the Eastern Connecticut Bap- tist Brotherhood conference, with an evening session at the Central Baptist church. Among the clergymen attending the interesting meetings were Revs. Luciar Drury, North Stonington; D. J. Neily. Dat felson; H. E. Ravkin, Noank; G. K. Atha, Groton; E. W. Potter, Jeweti City; W. T. Thayer, P. C. Wright, J. R. Very, W. H. McLean, Norwich; C. M. Reed, East Lyme; John Stanton, Moo- sup; F. Luddington, Quaker Bill; G. B. Marston, Stonington; J, Romeyn Dan- forth, J. A. Elder, New London; Rev. A. J. Wilcox of Uncasville, Rev. A. B. Coats, D. D., of Hartford, Rev. G. F. Whittemcre, Ph. D., of Middletcwn and Rev. C. K. Flanders of Hartford, The Men of the Church. Opening the morning session at 10,30 was a praise service led by State Evangelist Rev. C. K. Flanders. A paper upon The Men of the Church and the Pastors Use of Them was presented by Rev. G. F. Whittemore, Ph. D., of Middletown, president of the Cornecticut Baptist Brotherhood. Rev. Mr. Whittemore advanced twou propositions. First, that there - are men In the church and in such proper- tion that they may be made use of as a part of the church's working force. Second, that the pastor is to be log- jcally cousidered, not simply as the official head of the church itself, but as the director and user of the pow- ers and efforts of his laymen. The first . proposition {s true " in larger measure than careless critics seem willing to concede. It is true that as men grow toward maturity large numbers of them have withdrawn their active church affilia- tion, but It remains equally true that many voung men, men under 35 years of age, In fairly encouraging propor- tion, are in some way connected with the various churches and allied insti- tutions such as the Y. M. C. A., €0 that the energatic pastor may reasonably count upoa both helpful and encour- aging support from a considerable nuinber of young men. ‘He spoke of the development of clnh and class work, all of which is largely experimental as yet. He commended that the azgressive, enterprising pas- tor see that his men are liberally pro- vided with attractive printed matter, setting forth the services of the church. Coneecrated printers’ ink hae done more than a little in bullding up the earthly Zion today. And he rec- ommended further the pastor’s enlist- ment of men as picked workers, civie righteousness and good ecftizenship. After a discussion of the paper, din- ner was served by the ladies of the church, for which they were thanked by Rev. Mr. Luddington. ‘At the afternoon session Rev. A. B. Hartford, state secretary, con- a discussion unon How to Tn- ausurate and Maintain Suecesstul Mer’s Organizations. The Baptist Brotherhood. Rev. W. T. Thayer, pastor of the church, presented in an interesting way the topic The Baptist Brother- hood and How the Local Organization Can Affiliate With It. He sali: The Baptist Brotherhood is the de- nominational expression of the gen- eral movement. It grew out of the de- sire to secure for Baptists the initial force of the new spiritual impulse. There were many men’s church organ- izations and some attempts at local co-operation, but no general federation of men’s work for men. The Brotherhood idea was cordially approved by the southern Baptists at Richmond and at a meeting of north- ern Baptists in Washington a com- mittee of fifteen was appointed with a view to the formation of a brother- the auspices of the northern Baptist convention. As to its personnel the Baptist brotherhood is Inclusive. It is mot a laymen’s movement, but a men's movement. It does not take account of ecclesiastical classifications as such, “A man's a man for a' that” ‘The manhood of the minister and the priesthood of the layman are apprized at their full value. Both are labor- ers together with God. They are sim- ply brother men in a common service for humanity. The immediate object of the broth- erhood is to work the neglected mas- culine resources of our Baptist con- stituency, to organize the men into lo- cal groups, to promote their acquaint- ance by social intercourse, to reach out after their fellows in shop and store and street, to win them to Christ by personal contact, to teach them the way of life by Bible-study. to train them “for service through the activi- ties of the local church, to fill them with enthusiasm for humanity and to lead them to the point of vision. The ultimate purpose of the brother- hood is to secure denominational unity and efficiency by the federation of these loca] groups into a great broth- erhood of men who shall undertake the solution of the problems of life and labor presented in the soclal. civic, and industrial life of today; translate the teachings of Jesus into something of economic worth; express the message of the church in'terms that can be un- derstood by an industrial age; make the church a moral and ethical force in the community life and put it in the van of al] those agencies which make for spiritual uplift and social welfare, The brotherhood plan of procedure is very simple, It Is to arouse men to a sense of thelr privileges and obli- gations in Christian service, bring them together in local organizations and federate these groups into a brotherhood In conmection with exist- ing denominational agencies. No at- tempt is made to secure uniformity ot organization or method of work, nor is there any thought of such super- vision as would interfere with the in- itlative or determine the lines of ac- tivity of any local organization. Bap- tist independency is given full play. The Baptist brotherhood Is a federa- tion of interests. It is committed to the largest hospitality towards all ex- isting agencles and will gladly wel- come to its fellowship every new en- terprise. It does not compete with any other movement, but lends its aid to every effort that makes for the Kingdom among men. A discussion followed thls paper, and then adjournment was taken tili the evening meeting. Evangelism Among Men. ‘The evening meeting was held in the vestry at the Central Baptist church. Rev. W. T. Thayer presided. Rev. Mr. Marston read the scripture and Rev. Mr. Neily offered prayer. President Whittemore delivered an optimistic address upon Evangelism Among Men, saying that there is an atmosphere of awakening interest in work among men, and the two key- words are Brotherhood and Evangelism, which are facts and factors of increas- ing prominence, which will bring the church forward by larger steps than it had ever advanced since launched into the world President Whittemore was_ followed by Rev. J. Romeyn Danforth of the First Church of Christ, New London, who gave a brief but valued talk ipon Men’s Clubs and Their Purpose in the Church. Hestated that the club In th church was' differentiated from all other kinds because of the church, which is tre center of it all, giving its tone and color to those who assem bled, and the men’s club faces Christ and 1s of value to the community, be- cause In some way it is following the footsteps of the master. The conference adjourned after prayver by Rev. Mr. Wright, pastor of hood as a department of work under | the church. QUARTERLY MEETING OF M’ALL AUXILIARY. Many Interesting Papers on the Work Read by Members, The quarterly meeting of the McAll auxiliary, which was held on Monday afternoon at the home of the president, Mary L. Huntington, of Broad- was_ well attended and was an exceptionally intercsting ome. The meeting was conducted by the presi- dent and opened with scripture read- ing. A prayer by Mrs. Kirk Leavens tollowed. The usual reports of secre- tary and treasurer were given, Miss Ruth Huntington acting as secretary pro tem. in the absence of the regular secretary. Mrs. Charles T. Bard sang “The Oid, Old Story” which is such a favorite -song with the French chil- dren of the McAll mission. Miss Meech gave an Interesting account of a MeAll meeting in New York which she attended recently and at which Mr, Berry gave an address. Miss Sturte- vant gave a condensed reading of Mrs. L. S. Houghton's story of the forma- tion and history of the McAll assocla- tion in America. Another interesting article from an Bnglish publication describing the many ways of trying to help the children of Paris was read by Miss Howe, while Mrs. Howe reviewed a recent article in the Congregation- alist giving Mr, Berry's story of the work which the McAll mission boats are_doing. The auxillary was pleased to num- ber Mrs. Willlam Carr of Poquonoe, formerly. of Norwich, among the mem- bers present on Monday. FUNERALS. Clarance W. Prentice. The funeral services over the remains of Clarence W. Prentice, who died suddenly Thursday morning in Woon- socket, were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his late home in that city. A very large gathering of acquaintances and friends, including many members of Eureka lodge and Loyal Rebekah Iodge, who attended in a ‘body, and a | delegation of Aames lodge was present to pay their last respects to a man who was highly esteemed by a large host of acquaintances. The services were very impressive, and were conducted by Rev. Hugh P. Hughes, pastor of the Globe Congrega- tional church.

Hedler Opened Artery in His Arm, but Was Found in Time. John W. Hedler of No. 10 South A street, Taftville, attempted to end his life Saturddy morning shortly before 9 o'clock by cutting an artery in his arm and if it had not so happened that customer came in at that time his at- tempt at suicide would probably have been successful. He was given medi- cal aid, however, and will no doubt recover. Mr. Hedler is a shoemaker and is well known as a_skilful work- man and has always had a good busi- ness. He has had family troubles of late and because of these had become depressed. He had also been .drinking heavily, though not for the past few days. Mrs. William F. Chamberlain of No. 4 South A street found him when she went to his house with a pair or shoes to be tapped. He looked at her with, strangely staring eyes and mut- tered several words. When Mrs. Chamberiain saw the blood the rushed for Dr. Thompson, who arrived about 9 o'clock, probably about half an hour’ after the man cut himself. An exam- ination showed that although he had bled considerable he had failed to sev- er the radlal artery, but had cut above it. The doctor stopped the bleeding and had the man out of danger. Mr. Hedler {s about 50 years of age and has lived in Taftville upwards of twenty years. He was first engaged in the Ponemah mills for a few years be- fore becoming a cohbler. Recent fam- ily troubles, Including a _senaration from his wife, have turned his mind, Because of his desire to put an end to his Iife he was committed to the Nor- wich hospital for the insane Monday. SAVED TWO BOYS FROM DROWNING. Poquetanuck Lads Had Slid Onto lee Near Schoolhouse—Rescued by Mor- ris Flynn. On Monday noon, while sliding dJown 2 hill on to the ice in the pond at Poquetanuck, August and Willlam Kraft, aged 9 and 13, broke through and went Into the water, which is very deep at that point. Their predicament was seen by Morris Flynn, who hur ried to their rescue and succeeded in getting them out, thoroughly wet, but not otherwise injuired. They were slid- ing at the back of the schoolhouse about 12.45 o'clock. The affair caused considerable excitement In the schoot and villag Break at Voluntown. Some time during Sunday night a dry goods store at Voluntown, conduct- ed by a resident of Moosup, was brok- en into and a quantity of goods taken. Just how much could not be learned, as the proprietor was out of town. Cloth- ing was taken, it is known. Miss Kingsley Surprised. { ‘Miss Nellle Kingsley of Huntington avenue was given a surprise by a num- ber of her frlends Friday evening. There were games played an a much enjoyed evening was passed. Refresh- ments were served. A most interesting collection of an- tique siiver and mbclry by Charles J. Dyer has been in the Converse Art and was open for exhibition Monday afternoon. The exhibit will remain during this month_and probably during Kebruary also. Mr. Dyer has been twenty years in making this collection ,which rep- resents beautiful and rare of the silversmith’s art, mostly of the 17th, 18 and 19th centuriess They have ‘been gathered from all over Hurope and have connected with them wany bits of history which add to their in- terest aside from their age and work- manship. The oldest piece in the col- lection is & Roman ring in chased sil- ver which was found under the foun- dations of the abbey founded by Char- lemagne at Zurich in the Sth century. There is also a fac-simile of the Eng- lish silver gilt anointing spoon dating from the 11th century and used in the coronation service of the kings of Eng- land since the day of Alfred the Great, A silver watch fob takes one back to the time of Edward of England. It is made of a silver at—one of the first coins ever used in England—com- bined with pleces of English and Ital- fan Gothic work. The date of this is 1360. An antique Roman tallsmanic cameo ring is even more ancient, hav- ing been reset from one of the third or fourth century. A large box of yel- low parchment, ~curlously _decorated with leather and wrought iron, is the work of the 16th century and was for- merly the property of the Colouna family of Naples, as the fastemng plainly indlcates. Another noticeable article Is the bag_which might have been carried by Juliet or Catherine De Medicl. The fittings are of silver gllt and Cuivre 'd Ore of the time of 1865. The belt buckle has curious decorations in fron. The red velvet used In bag and belt was given Mr. Dyer by a descendant of Cardinal Massinoand was a chair seat in the reception room of the cardinal's house, reseryed for the reception of the pope. Colonial Relics. Of later date are the knife and fork in shell design which once belonged to Captain Miles Standish, the old pine tree teaspoon of Boston origin which might have been the work of Paul Revere, and a very similar Irench spoon of shell design found under the fortifications at Grand Pre. A spoon ana fork of 1707 and two necklacs 1780, one of gold and malachite and one ‘of gold and amber beads, came in Rome. A dainty necklace of tur- quoise and brilliants in silver was once worn by Madame Fursck Mardi and is French work of 1790. Another of the same date shows the rare black garnet in the pendant with a gold chain. There are knee buckles from Ulm in 1800, shoe buckles of the early 18th century In Paris, an artistic cloak clasp from Florence of the early 17th century and silver and paste coat links and buttons of Bmpire times. The buttons of gold and chrysolite are old Spanish. A silver book clasp of pretty design was made in Rottenberg in 1680 and another from Ulm in 1771 has a gllt plate saying that this prayer book and clasp was given Marle Moulin by her godmother at Marle's birth, Nov. 15, 1771 Many Fine Rings and Pendants. There are five German and Austrian saint rings of fine workmanship of the 18th century, a silver and Niello design of St. Catherlne of Servie, 16th cen- tury, a silver ring set with agate and garnets from British India, a blue em- erald and paste marquise ring of the French Empire, six Bavarian betrothal rings and au enamel mourning ring from London in 1808 and having an interesting parsonal _history, besides several others. A group of pendants from rosaries are curious and inter- esting, one picturing Jonah and the whale, another St. Anna, the Virgin and the Christ child. One is an an- clent reliquary cross of Italian Gothic design. Mr. Dyer preserves in this as his chosen relic some bits of Glottos frescoes. Two old book covers are from Rome and Venice, the red one belonging to some cardinal. A pillow case with beautiful Italian lace work inset was made in the Abruzki moun- tains. There is a dainty Empire belt of embroidered silver, a snuff box of tortoise shell and sliver beautifully in- laid with mother of pearl, patch boxes of silver and Battersea enamel, a sil- ver and glass inkstand from Versailles, 1798, and Dutch and Itallan knitting needle g‘ulrfl and sheath and chatel- laine, the last having an ivory bar. The table silver includes an even more extensive list of spoors, forks and large pleces. A pair of German candlesticks of the early 19th century was the very beginning of the collection. There are three pieces of Sheffield plate, a coast- er of George II's time, another of lac- ouer with plate trimmings of Georsze NTs, and a cruet stand of 1790 with cut glass bottles. A curious pair of sugar tongs are scissor shaped and are Dutch of 1768. There is a Russian cream jug. a German snuffers and tray, a esmall dish in fruit pattern and a Dutch dish and spoon of the early 18th century, both heavily embossed. Silver Bowl of 1650. Perhaps the finest thing of all is a small silver bowl from Augsburg, about 1650, made of hammered silver, per- fectly plain except for the exquisitely engraved coat of arms on one side and of the rounded shape which can- not be overturned. A handsome re- pousse punch ladle of Queen Anne's time, 1709, is made from English coins, the bottom showing a picture of the lady herself upon a shilling, while the top gives the milling of the five shilling piece used on the sides. Two other punch and cream iadles date from George TI. The tea strainer came from Saalfeld, Germany, the wine strainer of English make of 1740 was picked up in Gfbraltar, the wine taster with its grape design tells of sunny vineyards in northern Italy in 1789, An oriental looking knife of sil- ver, enamel and Damascene work also comes from Italy.
