How Consul and Mrs. George E. Eager Celebrated—Thirty at Dinner. 4Of interest to their many Norwich friends will be an extract from a letter showing how Consul and Mrs. George . Eager celebrated Thanksgiving day at the United States consulate in Bar- men. Germany, with a genuine New England dinner. Both the consul and his wife are of New England birth and parentage, so that it is no wonder they could rot help being loyal to this great | New England institution. Writing to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Spalding of this city, Mrs. Eager says of their Thanksgiving dinner: “We planned and carried to a sue- cess a dinner in our best hotel here for the American residents of Rhineland and Westfalen, and thirty people sat down to turkey dinner last night here in Barmen, from Chicago, Milwaukee, Kankakee, 'Jersey City, New Bedford, Mass, Pittsburg, Pa.. Toledo Ohio, and Indfanapolis, Ind. We sang the na- tioonal airs. After a few words of welcome by Consul FEager we sang America. My cook made plum pud- dings with hard sauce for the dinner, and we all drank her health, beca: she told the hotel chef how to make mashed turnips and creamed onions and the filling for the turkeys. The turkeys were paraded arfound the ta- bles decorated with American flags by the waiters. The plum puddings were served burning, with the lights out. Consul Dunlap of Cologne made very interesting remarks, toasting the pres- ident and Emperor Willlam. Dancing was Kept up to a late hour. Consul Eager in his efforts to bring the Americans together on this day was assisted by his vice consul, Mr. Charles Wright of Toledo, Obio. toast “to our loved ones at home” was drunk to the last drop. The consulate kept open house to all Americans in the vicinity on that day. Y. M. C. A. TEAM. Dozen Juniors Left for New Haven on Friday to Compete in Athletic Events. v The team of a dozen of the Y.

West is held, not only by the mem- bers of his church, but by the people of Norwich, was manifested on Fri- day evening, when there was a large attendance at the farewell reception given him in the parlors of the Sec- ond Congregational church, at which the 300 or more present inciuded a representatiye gathering of the churches and laymen of Norwich and vicinity. The reception was given by the Improvement society of the chugeh from eight to ten o'clock, and it was made a most delightful occasion de- REV. DR. LESTER L. WEST. spite the sad feature. Nearly every Protestant church in the city was rep- resented by pastor and members. Dr. West received in the large room, standing near the entrance to the pri-' mary department, and with him were Mrs. E. R. Huntington, Mrs. Lucy A. Forbes, Mrs. H. E. Stevens, Mrs. T. W. Kingston, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Haviland and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Larrabee. The parlors were filled with guests throughout the evening, who displayed to a marked degree the deep regret that is felt in the departure from this city of Dr. West. During the evening Dr. West was presented a number of gifts’by Mrs. Larrabee’s class, members of the K. O. K. A., and twelve of the young women of the church. Throughout the two hours Dr. West was kept busy by the long line of friends who had assembled to meet him and throughout the assemblage ADVISES YOUNG MEN TO GO INTO POLITICS. Representative G. B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, who was one of the lead- ers in the last session of the legisla- ture, and who has been an occasional visitor to this part of the state dur- ing the past year, was the guest of Col. R. O. Eaton at North Haven Fri- day evening, and spoke befora the Men's club ‘of the Congregational church on the subject of The Public’s Business. Mr. Chandler devoted the main por- tion of his address to a detailed dis- cussion of the president’s message, which he characterized as “a congres- sional dressing _containing more oil than paprika.” He said that the pres- ident had again demonstrated his ge- nius for doing the right thing at the right tinfe in the right way. The message was “conventional in tone and clearly up to the highest standard of our best traditions, but, like cer- tain epistolatory communications of a private nature, its most important parts were coming in the postscript.” “Young men” he said, “go into poli- tics—I do not mean dijettante politics, 1 mean shirtsleeve politics. You can't help poor folks by handing them dain- ties on the end of a golf stick, and you can'’t carry primaries by reading essays tied up with pink ribbons. Roll up your sleeves. If you see a grafter, g0 after him and down him, if you see a man that is on the square, tie to him and back him up. Get into politi- cal clubs, attend caucuses and prima- ries, canvass your electlon district, establish a personal following, and de- liver the goods. Don’t let them freeze you out—they may try it. They can't freeze out a good man; sooner or later they have to come to him. Hit hard and play fair, “Read the newspapers and magaz- ines; study living questions: read both sides; read all sides. But don’t get theories—nine-tenths of them won't work. Remember Burke's max- im, ‘No dlfficulties exist in what never has been tried’ Usually the old way is the best way; but don't be hide- bound. Be open minded, do your own thinking and carry your sovereignty under your own hat. But don’t mis- take stubbornness for- independence. Political genuius is capacity to work wit hothers. Be ready to compro- mise, but always know why you com- promise, and condoct an orderly re- treat. FUNERALS Mrs. A. B| Eccleston. At 1 o'clock Friday _afternion the funeral of Mrs. A. D. Eccleston was held from her late home in Ledyard, the services being conducted by Rev. W. F. White, pastor of the Ledvard Center Congregational church. There were many in attendance.
