Smith Gave Reception at Their Home in Huntington Place with Many Attending—Nearly All of Married Life Spent in Norwich. At their pleasant fiome, No. 17 Huntington place, where they have resided for the last 21 years, Capt. and Mrs, Albert D. Smith received their friends from 8 to 10 o'clock on Tuesday evening in celebration of their golden wedding anniversary. Al- though the rain came down heavily, as it did on the morning of their wed- ding day fifty years ago, the parlors ‘were comfortably filled through the reception hours with a numerous com- pany of friends, who extended their warmest congratulatiens to Captain and Mrs. Smith, who received in the front parlor. Mrs. Smith was gowned in raisin-colored broadcloth and car- ried violets. Decorations of white. chrysanthemums were artistically urranged in the front parlor. In tha back parlor, where Miller's orchestra played, the flowers were carnations, and in the dining room pink roses and carnations. Mrs. Joseph W. Gilbert served frappe in the dining room, as- sisted by Miss Ruth Kinney, Miss Edith Potter and Mlss Edith Young, the refreshments also including cake and candy, Mabrey catering. Prof. Herbert T. Miller was at the piano in the orchestra, filling the same place he has occupied at the celebrations of the 10th, 15th and 25th anniversaries. In addition, to the congratulations extended and the hearty wishes that Captain and Mrs. Smith might con- tinue to emjoy many more years yet of the happy life which has been their good fortune in the past half-century, a number of their friends presented valuable and beautiful gifts, including a goodly sum in gold pieces. Wedding Day Was Rainy. Their wedding day fifty years ago, December 7, 1859, was marked by a pouring rain in the morning, but it cleared by 2 o'clock, when they were married at the parsonage of the Cen- tral Baptist church by Rev. Dr. Sam- uel Graves, who had come to the church in September. They were the first couple to be married, Mrs. Smith being 18 at the time and Captain Smith 23. Of the dozen witnesses pres- ent at the ceremony, the only surviv- ing one is the youngest daughter of Dr. Graves, who resides in the west. Immediately after their wedding they located in Worcester, -Mass.,, which was the native city of Captain Smith, his birthday being December 2, 1836. For 18 months after their marriage The Dyspepsia 0f Old Aee Strong Digestion and An Adequate Nutrition Invariably Mean a Long and Healthy Life. There is a process known as meta- balism going on comstantly in the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off. So long as the due relation between te and supp! maintained, nu- trition and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the v us elements which constitute the different fluids, tissues and organs no longer hold their due proportion, and the principle of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as it once did. As old age creaps on, all the func— tions gradually fadl, especially those of digestion, ahsorption and assimila- tion, and the system being deprived of its full quota of nutriment, slowly wears out, If the nutritive and di- gestive processes of old people could be mainta unimpaired, life could Le prolonged almost indefinitely. Thera are many old persons in whose stomachs the gastric function fs almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices. There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is to supply artificially to the stomach a powenrful digestive substance to take the place of the juices which it fails to_secrete naturally. For this purpose there is nothing superior to STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, ‘and are such a reliable and thoroughly efficient substitute for the natural gastric Jjuices, that if two or three are taken after each meal, the food will be di- gested in . so complete a manner, that the natural digestive fluids will never be missed. Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all old and middle aged persons, in order to prevent or cure the dyspepsia of old age. Through their use complete digestion of the food is assured, with a consequent in- creased nutrition of the body, and a staving off of the sensibility and de- creptitude of old age. This remedy is, however, not enly good for the indigestion incidental to advanced life, but it is also applicable to the dyspepsla and stomach troubles of any age, from youth up. Secure a package of this famous dyspepsia remedy from your druggist for 50c, and If you find that as you get older, ycur digestion and assimilation becomes weaker, this remedy will as- sist the stomach in the performance of its functions, so that the general system will not suffer from the delin- quency of the digestive organs, A sample package will be sent you if you will forward your name and address to the F.

In the spring of 1860 Captain Smith opened a tailoring business, laying the foundations of one of the best known talloring establishments in this end ot the state. In 1861 he took into bus- iness Henry Hayes, this partnership continuing till 1865, Till 1872 Cap- tain Smith was in pusiness alone, then forming a partnership with Joseph W. Gilbert. The business was conducted in the same store for all these years, No. 140 Main street, but after a suc- cessful business life the partnership was dissolved in 1907 and both Cap- tain Smith and Mr. Gilbert have since been retired from active business life. Was a Councilman. Although never very active in polit- ical life, Captain Smith was elected to the common council for feur years in the early 60’s, serving two terms when Messrs. Blackstone, Green and Hovey were the mayors. Military life always appealed strongly to him, and in 1865 he enlisted in Company B of the Third regiment of the National Guard, being chosen second lieutenant, first lieuten- ant and captain successively. Later he was chosen lieutenant colonel in command of the regiment, but he was such a favorite with his company that at their request he resigned the lieu- tenant colonelcy and was again elect- ed captain of Company B. After a term of faithful service the company presented him a beautiful Knights Templar charm. Captain Smith also has a distinguish- ed record as a Mason, being raised as one of the charter members of Somer=- set lodge, No. 24, F. and A. M,, in 1866, and later joining Franklin chnp(efi No. 4, R. A. M.; Franklin council, No. 4, R. and S. M.; Columbian commandery, K. T. and Sphinx Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Hartford. He served the lodge in miner chairs, and for 30 years was captain general of the commandery. After the 25th anniver- sary of his service as captain general, the commandery presented him a Knights Templar charm set with four diamonds. Native of Griswold. Mrs. Smith, whose maiden name was Maery Herrick, was the youngest of the eight daughters of the late Robert and Mary Herrick, there being eleven chil- dren in the family. She was born in Griswold March 11, 1841, and has lived in Norwich since her parents came here when she was four years old. Both Captain and Mrs. Smith jolned the Central Baptist church over fifty years ago, Their family has consisted of three children, one daughter passing away at the age of 5 years. Their other two children were both present at the gold- en wedding anniversary, Albert D. Smith, Jr., of Hartford, and Mrs. Will- iam R. Perkins of this city. There is one granddaughter, Lucille May Per- kins, two months old, and the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins. Captain Smith has one sister living. Mrs, Smith has three sisters living, Mrs. James N. Perry, of this city, who celebrated her golden wedding on De- cémber 10, 1906, Mrs. Calista Davis of this city, and Mrs. Eunice Wheeler of Valparaiso, Indiana. 'WANT JUDGE TO DIRECT THE VERDICT Motion Being Argued in the Superior Court in the C of Fetherson vs. the Grand Lodge, A. 0. U. W, of Massachusetts and Connecticut. In the civil supzior court here on Tuesday, the trial of the case of Mrs. Melissa A. Fetherson vs. the grand lodge A. O. U. W., of Massachusetts and Connecticut was commenced be- fore Judge Reed and a jury. It is a suit for $2,000, brought to recover for the insurance Leonard B. Feth- erson of New London carried in the order, huvlng jolned Sprague lodge in New London' June 26, 1895. He was a tugboat engineer. It is claimed that on January 27, 1902, all men insured ‘under the Massachusetts jurisdiction were transferred to Connecticut. Mr. Fetherson dropped dead and among his effecis was found the policy made payable to his mother, the plaintift, for $2,000. Payment was refused, as it was claimed he had not paid in dues in May before /he died, and by the rules he becamé suspended, The dues in June were not paid, but after he had died the dues for the three months —May, June and July—were tendered and returned to a brother, Albert N. Fetherson, who claimed he did not know his brother was dead. There was testimony to the effect that the deceased had paid- his dues for sev- eral months at a time on previous oc~ casions and for that reason it should have been allowed this time. It is also claimed that both of the grand lodges are jointly liable. Many aftorneys from out of town are interested in the case. Witnesses called included George Strobgrand, recorder for Conmecticut, Mrs. M. A. Fetherson, A. C. Richards, financier of Sprague lodge, A. N. Fetherson and C. C. Fearing. After the plaintiff has rested a mo- tion for a nom-suit as to the grand lodge of Massachusetts was argued and Judge Reed dended it. After many rules and chapters of by-laws of the grand lodges had been submitted, a motion to direct the ver- dict was ade by Attorney Harriman, representing the grand lodge of Con- necticut. This was argued by Attor- neys Harriman of Derby, Geary of New London and Morse of New Haven, the latter to finish this morning. Previous to the arguments Attorney Hamilton of New Haven had to be ex- cused from the case because of busi- ness in New Haven and the necessity of getting the train. Court was adjourned at 5 o’clock un- til this morning at 10 o'clock, when the arguments will be resumed. The next case to follow this will be F.sh's appeal from probate, the two suits against the Connecticut company having been postponed. IN THE PROBATE COURT.
