There was & large number there to greet ithe vessel, which came up the river under tow with both flags flylng, and the crew eager to get ashore. For the remainder of the day there were many people who were at the wharf looking over the schooner which had returned from its seconé whaling trip. The cargo of 'the boat will be unlonded here and the whaler put in shape for another trip, there being quite a little Tepair work because of the damage sustained in the recent blow, when the starboard quarterrail was smashed and a boat lost. 3 There was adde@ interest in the ar- rival of the boat from the fact that so many young men from this city were in the crew. All returned hale and hearty and a number of them aré will- ing to go again. The offleers and members of th2 crew are as follows: Captain—James W. Buddington of Groton. First Norwich. Second Mate—James E. Denison of Groton. Third Mate and Cooper—Timothy Fields of Hope Valley, R. I. Eonatsteerer—Alexander Hunt of New Bedford, Mass. Boatsteerer—Lillenton Mars of New Bedford, Meass. Cook and Steward—Byron D, Clark of Hope Valley, R. . Seamen—James E, Friery, James J. Nolan, Joseph Lysinky, Albert J. Fielding, Emerson Smith, Dos Govang, and Willilam Beetham of Norwich; Cherles Louprett, John Skifington and Louis Langor of New London: John Mate—Joseph Beetham of 'ETIN, e McClure of Poquonoc, and Hector A. Snow of Occum. Cabin Boy—William C. Hunter of Norwich. Hunter is the youngest member of the crew, being 19 when he shipped, but having passed his 20th birthday at sea. When he went aboard he told someone he was going to have a good time. An old whaler remarked: “Yes! He'll have a good time, but it won't be the kind of a good time he expects.” Hunter has not wilted as much as it might have been supposed he would. At the Barbadoes, the ldst stopping place, there were two members of the crew who deserted, they being Thomas Langer of New London and Samuel H. Handy of Centerdale, R. I A certifi- cate from the American consul there showed that these men had deserted. The members §f /the crew met Dr. George R, Harris, who is the manager of the company, soon after the arrival of the schooner here and reached an agreement regarding their pay. ‘Among those who say he enjoyed the trip and is willing to go again is James Nolan of the West Side. ~ Albert J. Fielding, son of Lemuel Fielding, was on the bowsprit of the whaler when Walter Snow was lost overboard and drowned. He brought home many in- teresting souvenirs, including a num- ber of seal puppy skins, which are of little or no value, and the crew is al- lowed to kecp them. Each of the crew has an interesting tale to tell in his own. way of the many experiences be- fore the mast and they had plenty of bad weather in which to secure this experience. The crew and officers of the whaler all left on ‘Thursday afternoon and fir the rest of the day and night Super- numerary Blinderman was in charge ef the boat. The quarterrale 4s badly smashed, being tied up so as to con- tirue the trip with a long spg¥. CREW EXONERATED. Coroner Brown Investigated Death of A. E, Burdick, On Thursday Coroner Franklin H. Brown, after a lemgthy investigation nto the surroundings of the death of Alp! E. Burdick, declded that it was an accident and no blame attached to | anyone. Coroner Brown entirely exonerated the crew of the car from culpability in the death of the unfortunate man. Valentine Burdick of Mogsup, father of the deceased, stated that h!s son was 9 years of age ard, with others of the family, spoke of the physical disabili- ties of the deceased. He said that his son bad on several occasions had peri- ods of total collapse—fainting spells. he called them—during which Alpha would know nothing of his surround- ings. It was his opinion that during one of these his son had fallen down on the track where he met his death. Members of the family arranged for the removal of the body to Central Village, whera the interment will take ce. p}?fim deceased was at one time a res- idert of this city and had many friends here.

Hartford, April 15.—The meastre which increases the salary of the dairy commissloner, H. F. Potter, of North Haven, changes his title from dairy commissioner to dairy and food com- missioner and gives him more money for the expenses of his department, which was reported favorably in the house today, also touches the deputy commissioner, Tyler Cruttenden, of Norwich. Commissioner Potter’s sal- ary 1s now $1,800 and he will get $2,500 if the bill es, as will Commissioner on Domestic Animals H. O. Averill by the passage of a similar measure wihch has been favorably report: Deputy Commissioner ttenden’s salary is now $1,600 and he is to have an Increase to $1,800 under the terms of the measure. All of these salary in- creases merely bring the salaries up to the standard which prevails In most of the state departments through the capitol and there are salaries which are well in excess of these. The state has unusually good officials In these three places and there is little doubt of the recognition of this in the ready passage of the bills. Norwich is also concerned in the bill which proposes to establish a state banking department and raise the sal- aries of the dual commission to $5,000 a year, for Norris S. Lippitt is one of the banking commissioners. This bill 1 shardly likely to go through., It is a rather complete readjustment of the system of stafe supervision of savings banks, too complete to be really popu- lar. 1t is likely, however, that a sub- stitute will receive favorable action and in this the salaries of Commis- sioner Lippitt apd Noble will be raised. Change in Boss Carders. Douglass P. Waters of Poquetanuck has severed his connection with Ben- jamin Lucag & Co. as boss carder, a position which he has held for the past eight years. J. P.

FOR GENERAL WHITAKER. Bill Making Him Captain and Placing Him on Retired List Reintroduced. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washir.gton, April 14.—Congressman Higgins has reintroduced in the house the bill for the relief of Gen. Edward ‘W. Whitaker of Ashford.

Taking Vacations. The members of the house are takin, a much needed rest since the tariff bil has been sent over to the senate. Mr. and Mrs. Henry have left for a ten éays’ visit at home, Mr. Higgirs will go to the state for a few days' rest, Mr. Hill will also be out of town for a few days, and Mr. Sperry is contemplating a short trip to the Hot Springs of Vir- ginia. Thesenators will, of course, re- main at their posts, Semator Bulkeley said yesterday that he expected the senate 0 pass the biil by the 15thr of May and that the con- gress would have agreed and the bill become & law by the first of Jume, Live ot Midway or Harlem. New Haven road engineers and fire- men who are on the “emtra” lst are commenting considerably oh the report that they will have to take up thelr residence either at Miway, a small station six miles east of New London, or at Harlem. At present, wiea these extras work sixteen hours, running through, they report at Midway or at Harlem, and finish at efther of thesa two stations. Thie necessitates coneid- erable “deadhead” riding between these points and New Haven, and to eliminate the “deadhead” riding is one! Bes?¥ Drink for Your and Manhattan Clothes.

Half the time when a person feels blue and out of sorts you may take it for granted that he is a vietim of the “lard habit.” Lard-cooked food and good stomachs are never friends for lang. Lard fgod is mnot healthful food and no ordinary stomach ean thoroughly digest it. Lard comes from the pig-sty; Cotlolene from the cotton fields of the Sunny South. Lard is greasy, indigestible, and sometimes absolutely harmful; Cottolene makes food digestible, nutritious, delicious. Cottolene is the perfect shortening and frying m um. Itis pureand healthful. It contains not an ounce of hog-fat. Cottolene is today in use by thousands of housewives who would no more think of going back to lard than they would of reverting to tallow dips for light- ing their homes. Cottolene is one of the products which pure food advo- cates always endorse.
