DIOCESAN CONVENTION. That of Episcopal Church Will Be Held at Hartford Next Tuesday. The Protestant Episcopal church in Connecticut will hold its annual dio- cesan convention in Christ church, Hartford, Tuesday, June 8. It will begin with holy communion at 9.30 a. m., Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster delivering the more spiritual parts’ of his annual address in place of a ser- mon. About 11 o'clock he %will call to order for business and take the chalr. A secrstary will be elected, financial reports submitted and the usual routine accomplished. The committes on constitution and canons, of which the Rev. Dr. Sampel Hart is chairman, will present a report discussing the amendments proposed last year and referred for their delib- erate consideration during the interim. One provides that no clergyman shall vote in the election of a bishop unless ho has been actually resident in Con- necticut for one year. Another asks for a special committee of lawyers to take measures for sectring the con- tinuance of feeble parishes by admit- ting women (often their best support~ ers) .to full legal membership. The commissions on Sunday schools and on work among foreigners will, doubt- less, report plans for successful prose- cution, The most important business to come up is a proposition to divide the diocese in two, Many realize that the work of supervision has outgrown the powers of a single head and that greater efficlency and progress would be attained by two bishops, each hav- ing his own territory,-convention and institutions. The matter has been discussed in ten different articles pub- lished recently in the Connecticut Churchman, which is the organ of the | bishop and of the Church club. In one of these articles Bishop Brewster advocated it and offered a personal | subscription of $1,000 toward the support of the new diocese. All that however, from this conven- tion, is the appointment of a large, representative committee to digest a plan for division and report next June. All such questions as boundary lines, names, support, division of trust funds, etc, which require careful con- sideration, which would prepare the way for an intellgent vote in 1910, he only reason for haste is that the consent of the general convention | must he obtained, and this holds its | triennial meeting " in _Cincinnati, be- ginning October § 1910. Crul for Naval Militia, ‘Washington, June 3.—The secretary of the navy today sent a letter to the adjutant general of the state of Con- necticut, notifying him of the plans of the navy department for the sum- mer cruise of the Connecticut naval militia. The department has decided to try an innovation this year on the New England coast. This year, the naval organizations will be assigned to the regular Atlantic fleet when it goes to New England for its summer cruise. The plan contemplates one week's cruise from Sunday to Sunday, and the Connecticut boys can take their choice of one of three weeks, namely, July 11 to July 17, July 18 to July 24, and July 2§ to July 81, K.

NEW TRUSTEE FOR WHEELER SCHOOL AND LIBRARY. Corporation Will Get AH That Was Given It Under Mr. Wheeler's Will. There was a meeting of the Wheeler School and Library at New Haven on Tuesday, at which John D. Avery of North ~Stonington was appointed a trustee in place of Bernadotte Perrin of New Haven, who resigned. At that meeting is was voted to continue the services of Principal Kendall for the ensuing years. In the opinion of Chief Justice Bald- win in the case of Hewitt et al., exrs. against the Wheeler Sahool and Libra- ry, recently decided, the will is upheld fuily in of all its details, The School and Library corporation will receive’ all the property given to it. In the charter of the Wheeler School and Li- | brary it is provided that the school to be maintained shall be for the benefit of residents of North Stonington. This court decides that includes’all persons who had even a temporary abode in the town. Chief Justice Baldwin's lan- guage is as follows: The numbers of those to whom edu- cation can be given is not lmited to domiciled residents of the town. It may include any young persons resid- ing there, either temporarily or per- manently One who takes up a temporary abode in the town for the mere purpose of instruction at _this school, and with the intention of leav- ing the place as soon as such instruc- tion is completed, is none the less re- siding there so long as he remains. “The school is for the education of young persons in studies or courses more advanced than those usually taught in the district schools, including any which may be suitable to prepare scholars for college or for course in a university. It may give Instruction usually taught in district schools, but should aim to make it of a character more advanced. There is no instruction as to the nature of the university courses of which it my offer prepara- tion.” By the will $6,000 was given to the Beclestastical soclety, two-thirds of the income from the same to be used for the care of the cemetery and cemetery lot where the Wheeler famlly is buried. This bequest is held .valid. The opinion also holds that the Ec- clesiastical society connected with the Congregational church has never been legally dissolved and so can take the | bequests given to it in trust for the church. HANDSOME MEMORIAL. —ge—— Rev. Robert C. Tongue to Be Placed in Meriden Church. _Alfred Barker, Mrs, Ada Shaugh- nessy and Mrs. Lucy Le Boiteaux, the committee appointed to choose a de- sign for the memorial to Rev. Robert Clarkson Tongue, which is to be placed in All Saints' church, Meriden, have accepted a design drawn by George Grossman, and it is probable that the fablet will be completed in time for the installation services to be held early in the fall The tablet will be of purest Italian marble. ‘The design - is Gothic and beautifully worked out. The inscrip- tion will be i heavy block letters large emough to be read with ease from almost any part of the church. A heavy corresponding with the interior finish of the church will be placed around the tablet and the contrast will be very pleasing. It has not yet been decided whether the tablet will be placed in the chancel or on one side of the auditorium. Slander Suit Dropped. Mrs. Ida Radinsky has made a re- traction of the statement that Abe Shimelman was the murderer of her hushand, and Shimelman has dropped the lawsuit he had against Mrs. Rad- insky to recover damages of $5,000 ‘because of alleged slander. To The republicans hield an enthusias- tic and caucus in Town hall on We sday evening, the seit- ing ty 11 filled. addressed the caucys and the ticket was named with no opposition whit- soever. 5 Directly after the hour of ‘elght had sounded Charles D. Noyes, chairman of the town committes, called the cau- cus to order, and upon the nomination of H F. , Amos A, ing ety plause. o e r ap) Chairman Browning thanked the meeting for the honor of presiding over the deliberations of a-republican cau- cus. He congratulated them upon the splendid large hall for meetings of this Xind and the hope that the meetings there might be many and the outcome for the public good. We are here to make nmni%uon. ‘tor c:flln.(n city officials to positions of great im= portance, though not in the highest office in the gift of the city. Better Showing Than in 1908. At the caucus last night, said the chairman, there were certain state- ments intended to be derogatory to the administration of the past year.. By the statements it was claimed that there had been a net reduction in the city's debt of $12,000. Although this is not large, Mr. Browning said, it was $7,500 larger than it was the year pre- vious. To be exact, the total net re- duction the past year was $11,924.29, while the year previous it was but $4,430.94. Regarding the gas and electric.plant, to which much credit was given for its good results and inst which Mr. Browning said he not wish to say anything, but wished it success, yet it should not be referred to to the detri- ment of other departments. The credit given the plant does not seem to be borne out by figures of Ira L. Peck, the clty treasurer, a gentleman pretty sure of election,being enough of a dem- ocrat to be placed on the democratic ticket, and as a good republican I prophesy he will be nominated here tonight. (Applause). In the treasurer’s report I find cer- tain items which were not referred to last night, and I think they are per- tinent, for while I am not saying the department is not well conducted, yet we ghould be just to all. To ex-Mayor Thuyer's statements I couple the fig- ures, Interest on purchase bonds $9,- 080, interest :on improvement bonds $2,400, interest on notes of old admin- istration $2,340, gas and electric sink- ing fund $6,650.92, gas and electric de- preciation $13,582.99, making a total of $34,050.91 to be added on the other side of the account. Some may think that the sinking fund and depreclation fund should not be included, but with- out them there s & $14,000 deficit in the department. The many depart- ments of the city are to be congratu- lated on the success of their accome plishments. Larger Amount Borrowed a Year Ago, Atiention was called to the bad finan- clal administration of the past year at the democratic caucus, and reference made to the borrowing of $20,000 at 41-2 per cent. of the Norwich Savings soclety and putting it at interest at 4 per cent. We should bear in mind that it was necessary to do this, The sink- ing fund had to have the money, and only 4 per cent. interest can be se- cured at the banks for money on de- posit. To get money, however, you must pay 41-2 per cent., and it was necessary/Ao get it to carry through the requirements. There was a compari- son of the banker's administration with the lawyer's administration. I hope the -latter 4id mo wrong, said Mr. Browning. By the report of Ira L. Peck on April 30, 1908, there was hir- ed $18,000, and $5300 the month be- fore that,and who was the mayor then? That money was also hired from the Norwich Savings soclety and the rate of 41-3 per cent. was pald for it. Why this fall, when a year ago there was $23,300 due the Norwich Savings so- oty at 41-2 per cent, when Mayor Thayer went out of office, and now this administration hired $20.000 and paid the same rate to the same in- stitution. Had Good Administration. The sentiment prevails that we have had a good administration during the past year and the council is entitled to credit and not criticism or condemna- tion. There are no criticisms of the streets and that with other depart- ments are entitled to praise At the head of the city affairs is a gentleman of energy and efficiency who not since the great Buckingham has enjoyed such.esteem, with the confi- TAFTVILLE AND BALTIC POSTMASTERS GET RAISE Inoreases and Decreases in This End of State—New London Gets a Drop.
