Edward Payson Weston in his tramp across the continent 15 mot up to schedule time, and the public appear to regard his great test of physical endurance as too old-fashioned to be interesting. The faet which he Is striv- ing to demonstrate is that a man may preserve his physical vigor and en- durance for half a century—that at 70 be may do a task which would be creditable to an athlete of 20, does not command the attention it should; nelther is the lesson that he is trying to teach apprsciated by thig later generation, which has almost been made legless by the too free use of blcycles, trolley cars and automobiles. The weather conditions have been ex- ecrable and the roads have not prov- en to be as good as when he made the trip Afty years ago, so that really it would call for greater strength and endsurance to_accomplish in 100 days now what he did In 1859. What Wes- ton Is tedching is that temperance in all things js a guaranty of good health, of long life, of unabated physical vig- or. That exercise is as necessary as 100d, and that deep breathing and sim- ple living and right thinking are the foundations for an old age which has not lost the essence of youth. But teaching men how to live long and ‘be happy when they are faithless con- cerning it, takes a man with faith in himself and in the ability of truth to #bide regardless of the public’s atti- tude toward it. ADVICE TO CONNECTICUT. The authorities of Wesleyan univer- sity, and beyond them to the_ public spirited citizens of Connecticut, must %o0n decide whether there shall be a ro-ordinate college for women at that mstitution, now that they have been Jeprived of their co-edueational priv- leges? Acting President Rice said at the commencement exercises this week that a gift of $400,000 now would pro- vide educational advantages for wo- men that could not be secured for two millions & few years hence. The Hartford Times says that “on general grounds it may be doubted whether an additional college for women is needed . in New England,” but a few observa- tions In Massachusetts would have a tendency to change that opinion. Al- though Wellesley has been bulding dormitories at the rate of one a year, or more, recently, she still has to put up the bars to applicants eight months in advance of @ new year, and Smith is becoming similarly embarrassed. In fact, it is the same story in all these | institutions. Connecticut ought not to be willing to lag behind Rhode Island in this respect.—Meriden Journal. The Journal is right, although the site at Middletown is not the only site. A first-class woman's college ought to be in a town by itself—create its own college atmosphere and fame. In any Connecticut city where there is n0 college there s opportunity for the development of an institution as at- tractive as Wellesley in Massachusetts or any oth Middletown is not the place for such a :college. Norwich could furnish a site, and such an in- stitution would just fit “the Rose of New England.” THE ARM SWINGERS. ‘The habit of swinging the arms in ‘walking {s common to & good per cent. of the men and it appears to be in- creasing among our young business women. 1If Sir Victor Horsley is right in his opinion of the origin of the hab- it, it 1s not a style to affect, but a manner to drop. Sir Victor Horsely, who is an accept- ed authority in such matters, has in- formed the Londen Medical society that this ungraceful hablt for which boys and girls used to be slapped in the good old days of parental disci- pline, is merely a relic of the time when the ancestors of the race went on all fours and were obliged to use their arms as well as their legs to propel themselves along. It is evident that the human race has not become thoroughly accustomed to the upright position even yet. Sir Victor remarks that the habit is quite unnecessary, although many of us are tempted to iness or It is ea which as collections 1 den show. The said to be a sign of disco il health. How true these tions may be The Bulletin cannot say, but it mistrusts that they are made more in the interests of reform than in the interest of truth. OUR SUPPLY OF PRESIDENTS. There may have been a time in this country when it was necessary to make the goal of every boy's ambition the presidency of the United States, but it is no longer necessary. High as- pirations are all right, but such com- plete singleness of purpose is all wrong. An eminent educator at Chi- cago has risen to say “that it ls not the business of the public school sys- tem to fit every American boy for that position; some of these boys are golng to be laborers, mechanics, artisans, something besides president, and right now they are neglected.” The professions are overcrowded, and the industries, just as crowded, perhaps, need more skilled labor. The tirhe has actually arrived m America when manual training should take its place for the betterment of those who mpst make thelr way in life's indus- rh competitions. There 15 no ob- jection to laying before the juvenile mind the mistakes of Andrew Jackson or of Theodore Roosevelt, or to pl ing there the hope that some day, somewhere, he may be the popular fa- vorite for the first place M the gift of the people. There is nothing n the industrial tralning to mar a president. In fact, there Is no danger that a pres- ident may become 100 practi It is the other thing which is to be avoid- ed, hence the declaration of the Chi- cago man does not seem 10 be unneces- sary or ill-timed. ET)FFORIAL NOTES. The woman who cannot take care of her husband’s salary is the exception, not the rule Night travelers who have taken their overcoats with them this week have made no mistake. Fifty years from now Franklin square may look like an emporium in- stead of what it now resembies. Many & man who has hitched his ambition to a star never got to be a fiyer. He was too much for it to lift. The five books of fiction published daily in this country do mot begin to contain one-half the fictitious things produced. Connecticut corn has not given up hope. It knows that there is a warm wave or two coming before the ripen- ing time. Happy thought for today: The woman who talks to herself may get confidential, but she never gets im- pertinent. The (accident and fire insurance compariies do not regard the Fourth with favor. It is seldom a profitable day for them. No nation has yet dared to put a tariff on high hopes. They are not substantial enough to be put in the ad valorem class. Aldrich pulled through, and he is conscious that a deal was put into the tariff to give the conferees some- thing to haul out. Down in Georgia they think that it is necessary to build a fire under the legislature to prompt it to pass a law against scorching. Boston appears to be taming the auto drivers. There the rules are stringent and the drivers know that law must be obeyed. The Salvation Army is working in many nations and presenting the Gos- pel to the common people in thirty- one different languages. “The Wright boys have shown that gas is not the main reliance in this lifer and that is quite a contribution to the world's knowledge. Japan is taking her grafters and sending them to prison as fast as they are discovered. This is one reason why there is hope for Japan. So long as a man thinks that there is something serious the matter with him it is of little use for the doctors to tell him that there is not. Some men look every day as if they would like to get even with their Mak- er, and the photograph of any of them never makes a good impression. Many a business man is surprised by the liberality shown by some delin- quent patrons who spend the summer as if they owed. the world nething. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The two hundred and fiftieth anni- versary of Norwich was fittingly and enthusiastically observed and celebrat- «d on the expanded Fourth. Those who were fortunate enough to be in the city during the festivities do not need to be told about it, but those of us who could not be there got into the spirit| of the occasion through the columns of The Norwich Bulletin, which issued a special anniversary edition. The Bul- letin long ago acquired the habit of handling ‘all fmportant mews matters in a most satlsfastory way, but in this instance it achieved special distinetion. Many special editions come to us and almost without exception they are ex- cellent, but it is rare to find one that 0 happily fills the bill as does The| Bulletin. It very completely tells the | history of Norwich and vieinity, and tells it in an entertaining and compre- hensive way. Its story is a good deal more than a mere record of events. It is newspaper work to be proud of. And a live newspaper is a most important factor in such a celebration as Nor- wich has just indulged. Thousands of people get their impressions and most of thelr knowledge of the town through its newspapers. Those who read The Bulletin of Saturday especially have it firmly implanted in their minds that| Norwich is a mighty good town to live in and one to take pride in—Bristol Tess. For Excitement.

He had no more stature to boast of than Al- exander or Napoleon the Great. He had won all his honors We glanced at each other strangers, but in a guiet moment he about came over to me with extended nndl and we shook. 1 Introduced myself and_he simply said: “I am William A. Buckingham—I am glad to know 1 almost caught my breath from surprise, for I knew no reason why he should be glad to see me! And he knew me and greeted me pleasantly ever after. He was a graclous, unas- suming gentleman, as great in his democracy as in any other quality of his many-sided manhood. I remember him as a handsome man (that was what he was to me), and the only man who appeared to be noble enough to be allowed to wear a halo all of the time. I need no photograph of him, for his self-impressed picture is on my heart. In the course of business it was my pleasure to become acquainted with David A. Wells, who, as an_inventor, editor and political economist, had an international reputation. He seemed to be no man's darling, but he could bridge chasms and be compenionable with any man be took a fancy to. He was not so distant or reserved as he seemed to be to common people. He could be as familiar as a boy and as confidential as a woman whenever the spirit moved him so to be. “Do I al- ways speak to you when I meet you in the street?” he asked me one day, and I replied: “I do not know. I do not feel hurt if you don't. Busy men unintentionally ~pass acquaintances without seeing them!” *“I sheuld not pass you” he said, “without speak- ing, unless you were ing to the left. 1 do not see well there—I have a gldss eye!” Mr. Wells' glass eye was such a good one that 1 should never have discovered it had he not informed me of this physical defect himself. Few people really knew of it. I liked him and perhaps he liked me because I never sought him from seifish motives. And there was John T. Adams, a gentleman of the old school, who was a neat dresser and a good conversa- tionalist. His careful enunciation was not the least of his particularities. I do not know how I became personally acquainted with him. He spent con- siderable of his leisure time in the Otis library and he always spoke to me and on several occasions engaged me in conversation. He was a church- man of broad views; he was & whole man upon all occasions, He read Swedenborg's works and liked his rev.- elations—his dreams—of future spirit- ual existence. He told me that he did not believe death ended all, and confided to me that he had an illamin- ed hope which would not fade away. He was rather reserved—he could not be common. Tt was a pleasure to meet him, and T think of him as the spick- &pan man of his generation. 1 was for a year or more associated with James F. Forsyth, the editor who nearly half a century ago discharged a volley of tobacco juice in the face of Ebenezer Dorson Sykes because of fll-natured things he had said in_po- litical controversy with him. Mr. For- syth came to Norwich from Demerara when a boy, and because of his bright- ness was given an education by the Christian ladies of the town, in the| hope, doubtless, that he would lend his | talents and energies to the spread of the gospel; but in moments of temper his speech could never be brought to fit the pulpit. He loved Norwicn and wrote and printed in book form a de- scriptive poom of winter and sum- mer beauty of the Rose of New Eng- land. He was a man,of deep convic- tions, and he despised|a man of polit- ties or religion who_jvas not true to the best that in him dwelt. A cyclone of rage was common to him, and when 1 became the subject of a volley of it 1 was tongue-tied. I just looked at him in silcnee and surprise. He came back soon_and said: “Young man, I like you. We are never going to have any “trouble. When iode you know enough to keep still” We never did have any trouble. In his wrath he would call me names occasionally. but heing aware of his weakness and his_politences, I could wait for his apology, which was always sure to! come, He was really better than some men who were calmer and had better self-control. Those who knew the Hon. John T. Wait, know that he carried a great deal ‘more than a knowledge of the law under his hat, and was one of the most compandonable and jovial of men. In politics he wasa strategist of a high order, and if anyone mad risen in his day fo say that he was the “Foxy| Grandfaher” of politicians hereabouts, he would have recognized in it an ac- knowledgment of his ability to win cver combinaticns. He was not a “ma- chine” favorite for congress when he first captured the prize. He obtained the support of The Argus first, and The Bulletin was the last paper in the district to give him recognition and support; and that of a few months of life made him the candidate and the Hon. Heary C. Ruggles consul to Barcelona, two capable men who honored the positions and made last- ing fame. Mr. Wait finally attracted all things political to him, and served his district the longest of any man. He had greater knowledge of men and things i Norwich, and could tell more entertaining anecdotes any man of his day. The late John F. Slater did not re- ceive every one with favor, and was rather distinguished for his reserve as well as for the distinction of hia family in the manufacture of cotton. He was a strong bellever in_temperance, and gave constant support to temper- ance reform. I inade his acquaintance in a singular way, about the time that he gave a million for the education of the colored people of the south. We were hoth on a Thames river steam- boat, taking a little outing, and after we reached Stonington on the way to Watch Hill he appreached me and in- quired if I was Mr. So and So. Hav- ink acknowledged by identity and my relation to a certain reformer who re- ceived his support, expressed his pleasure at having me, an e duced his son, Willlam A.

He was without doubt the most wonderful man from a physical stand- point_that Norwich ever knew from the day of its founding. As a cen- tenarian he looked as full of energy | and was as_jovial as many men haif his years. He was about six feet in height and attributed his well being to internal cleanliness. He would say refined white bread is an unfit food. He ate whole wheat bread and alleged that oll human fo0d conteined emall hard, indigestible particies w) the folds of the intestines were breed- ers of disease and destroyers of life He sald to me on that day: “Men have learned to flush water pipes, and they dle from neglecting to reguiarly flush their bowels” He attributed his pres- ervation to coarse food and the bodily cleanliness which most psople neglect. He was feeble at 20 and & wonder of agllity and strength at 100. Moses Pierce was a man of patri- archsl mein_and a positivist of the first order. He liked to be humored: liked to have his way—anil in this was like most men of wealth and influence. He could be as set as & mule or as gentle as a woman. He was large- hearted and liberal-minded and was only intolerant when he thought mis- takes were being made in public or private aftairs, He always supported the church and was found giving his support to local missionary work of every eort. He was a broad-minded and good-hearted man. Once when I was irritated by the unjust remarks of a citizen and was near the fighting point he took me by the arm an gently led me away. “I wouldn’t have any trouble” he said, “it would not pay” 1 did not seem to know how near trouble was till 1 thanked him and then I saw that he had quietly done me a real service. He founded Rock Nook home for poor children and the interest of the funds he left is do- ing the good work for others which he designed it should. This talk of men | have met is made for the purpose of putting on record something of their personality that these who are making search years hence may get o glimpse of a side of them which s not likely to get into history or stately blographical sketch- es. The real human side of public men and benefactors ought to be brought into the light. There are few saints among men, but zood-hearted- ness flashing with human sympathy and generosity—joviality which has ceused a thousand to laugh where it caused one o weep—companionableness which has made life pleasureable for many people —are all worthy of a place upon the printed page. That is why this talk at this time is indulged & e b £ ; ekt &i}i[‘ st i i i § : § 8 i 3 § i i k] 1315 i 8 §f & yis B s £ E a3 Ey B ; E 1 h f LES i 3 | i i £ i g8 § § i ! g i | i | ] | S i b i ! 1 i o , 2w ¥y § l‘.g& ¥ lg? i £l ; of o : B 55 too, sometimes. “All the rest of the 'n‘llht!,;; sixty-foot ladder to go into a obm o3 lding that you may never ce SF umtll the raing have cooled off.

The other man was a minister. He never amassed much wealth, but as preacher, author, patriot, philanthro- pist, pesce maker, he gained distinc- tion' such as few ministers have ever attained. Many people knew him chiefly as the “Lend-a-Hand” who started the “Ten Times One Is Ten” clubs, who inspired hundreds of others to do something for their fel- low men, who himself went about ilke his Master doing good. It made no difterence with this great heart wheth- er the man In need was black or white, ignorant or learned rch or poor. He welcomed every chance to lend the helping hand, and when once a burglar was convicted of robbing his house and was sentenced to jail for several years he let the law take its proper course, but almost every week wrote a friendly letter to the one who 4 e Hetil 3 i g § ; otk fesply g ] <='! g ICE CREAM AT WEDDING Caused Death of Norwalk Housekeeo- er, Miss Margaret Lawier. ‘Word was received In Norwalk Wed- this | Miss Lawlor left Norwalk on Sunday to attend the wedding of her niece, Miss QGertrude Gilfoyle.
