R. C. Treasurer for len Neopian Supreme and Grand Officers Visit Here— ' Swedish Christmas Party. EASTERN STAR. Election of officers for the next year was the business before Sachem chap- ter. No. 57, at its regular meeting on Wednesday evening at the Buckin ham Memorial, at which Worthy Mat- ron Dorothea W. Balcom presided.

Blim secretary, Lottie' B. Williams; treasur~ er, Annie E. Wooman; conductress, Enmily E. Dolbeare: associate conduct- ress, Mary E. Stevens. These officers, with the others to be appointed, are to be installed at the first ing in January. The \year Jjust closing has shown a good mem- bership gain and the chapter affairs well conducted under the administra- tion of the retiring worthy matron, Dorothea ‘W. Balcom. ~ The newly elected worthy matron, Annie L. Raw- son, has been associate matron 4n the past vear and has held various other offices since she joined the chapter as a charter member. Like her prede- cessor in office, she has been one of the most zealous workers for the ad- vancement of Sachiem chapter, and her election to the chief office insures a capable leadership. ORDER OF PROTECTION. W. F. Siater lodge, No. 509, the re- cently instituted lodge of this order, held ‘its second meeting last Tuesday evening, gathering in Pythian hall, which-has been selected as their meet- ing place. | There was a good attend- ance when Warden F. C. Lewis called the meeting to_order, and among the visitors were Past Supreme Warden Peabody .of Melrose, Mass., Grand Warden F. H. Tolles of Windsor, Conn,, and J. L. Wheeler of New Lon- don, a member of the supreme lodge credential committee, A degree team from Hugueonot lodge, No. 499, of New London was also on hand initiating four mew members for Slater lodge.

Shepherd (Slater lodge), chaplain; M. C. Rasmussen, guide; An- na Rasmissen, guardian; Pearl M. Wheeler, junior past: and Harry Wil- son, chaplain-sentinel. Six applications were received. It was decided to hold the lodge meetings on Friday nights but it was not_definitely decided which Friday in the month they would be. = Nothi- nations were made for election at the next meeting, and tihe evening con- cluded with a spread. A delightful so- clal time was enjoyed, a number of the visitors speaking briefly. Thames lodge, No. 326, had five new applications Tuesday evening’ at_its regular meeting in _Foresters' hall, which, with the promise of moré to come in at the next meeting, makes it seem probable that there will be a class of 25 for the initiation at the first meeting in January. Grand Sec- retary Jeremiah Wall of New Haven was a visitor, adding to the interest of the meeting wheh he sroke of the great. membership gain that” Beulah lodge of New London s making through their team contest.

Clover temple, No. 9. met in their castle hall in regular form on Mon- day evening, occupying a good part of the time in discussing the pros- pects for the coming months, and whether it was not advisable to sur- render its charter in view of a greatly depleted membership. 1t was at length gdecided that they would con- tinue for another six months, at least, with the hope that the temple might build up in the meantime and go on as a thriving organization. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. Norwich grange, No. 172, put At- torney Andrew B. Davies in as its worthy master for the coming year at its annual election held Wednesday evening in Pythian hall, the new offi- cer succeeding Woodbury O. Rogers, awho has held the office since the grange was instituted something more than a year ago. Under Mr, Rogers the local grange kept up a record of growth and well sustained meetings, adding a number of new members. The newly elected worthy master is one of the more recent members to join the grange. He is well fitted for the presiding office and the choice looks like a good one for the organiz- ation. The following is the full list of offi- cers elected: Worthy master, Andrew,_ B. Davies; worthy overseer, John E. Fanning; worthy lecturer, Mrs. Maud E. Bliss; worthy steward, James G.

The installation of the of- ficers is to take place at the first meeting in January and will be by Grand Regent Burdick. L'UNION ST. JEAN BAPTISTE D’AMERIQUE.

Comeau, Who has ably conducted the affairs of the council as president since its organization about two years ago, was succeeded in this office by A. C. Racine, one of the char- ter members, who is looked upon as a good choice for the place. The"in- stallation will probably take place at the first meeting in January. The following were elected: Spir- itual director, Rev. P, L. Massicotte; president, A, C. Racine; vice president, Louis H.

At the next meeting there will be work in the royal purple degree and elec- tion of officers. The installation, which comes on January 13, is to be public and will be performed by some of the grand officers. The encampment has recently lost one member by death, Harlan N.

Shetucket lodge, No. 27, worked the initatory degree in full form upon two candidates at its meeting on Tues- day evening in Odd Fellows’ hall There were also six or seven visitors from Reliance lodge of Jewett City, and the interesting session closed with the serving of refreshments.

The state division of the Sons of Veterans continues its boom and be- fore the close of its year it will have 35 or more camps, against 19 at the opening of the year, April 1, 1909. Charles R. Hale of Hartford, special aid on the staff of Division Command- er Charles W, Roberts, is doing ef- fective work as state organizer in starting new camps. Thursday even- ing a camp was organized at Middle- town with a charter membership of 30 and on Tuesday Wallingford will have a camp of 25 charter members. A camp will be organized in Southing- ton in about a week. On Friday evening of next week Griffin A. Steadman camp of Hartford will initiate a large class, the exercises ‘beginning at 4 o’clock in the afternoon in order to accommodate some who cannot easily be present in the even- ing. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, Gardner lodge, No. 46, had as visit- ors at its meeting on Friday evening in Eagles” hall a delegation from Wau- regan lodge, No. 6, which was entrust- ed with a proposition from Wauregan lodge regarding the possible consolida- tion of the two. It was a committee appointed with power. Gardned lodge heard their proposal, but decided to take no action just at present and the matter is now in abeyance. Gardner lodge made its nomination of officers for election at the next meeting. WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS. There was a largely attended meet- ing of Sedgwick corps, No. 16, at the Buckingham Memorial on Friday af- terncon, with the chief business to come up the election of officers for the coming year. The president, Mrs. Em- ogene Covey, was in the chair. To fol- low her very successful administration Mrs. Eva Caulkins was elected presi- dent, with the following staff of offi- cers: Senior vice president, Mrs, Hat- tle Kinney; junior vice president, Mrs. Julia Allen; treasurer, Mrs. Lillian E. Brewster; chaplain, Mrs. Mary E. Bes— wick; conducter, Mrs. Marie S. Disqu guard, Mrs. Julia Kies; first delegate, Mrs. Lillian E. Brewster; second delo- gate, Mrs. Eliza_ Walker; third dele- gate, Mrs. Maud Baker; first alternate, Mrs, Annle L. Rawson: second alter- nate, Mrs, Annie E. Woodman; third alternate, Mrs, Marie S. Disque. One notable change in the officers was the deolination of further elec- tion by Mrs. Nellle Bailey, who has been a particularly eficient treasurer for the last ten years. Other conflict- ing duties clatmed her attention, but the corps released her from further service with great reluctance. Among the appointments made in general orders No. 4, just issued, is that of Mrs. Isadora Gladwin of Mis dletown as one of the national special alds. She is the past department com- mander of this state, and recently vis. ited Sedgwick corps with the other de- dreds of gift suggestions. buy; your own merchants SHOPPiRG DAYS ARE GROWING FEW.

WORKING NIGHTS ON NEW PAPER MILL. Hustling Work on West Wall of Main Building. The desire on the part of the Bige- low-Harriman Construction company to advance the building of the new mill in Uncasville as far as possible before severe frost comes is seen in the continuance this week of overtime work. On Wednesday night the con- crete mixer was operated until a late hour, the material being used on the building of foundations for the west wall of the main building. Night was turned into day, the flare of numerous gasoline torches rendering progress on the construction as easy as during the daytime, A pile driver and lighter from the T. A. Scott company of New London put down a substantial dolphin on the north side of the mill site Wednesday, this being preparatory to other work on that part of the property. The Raymond Concrete Pile company is working its three machines for all they are worth in the hope of closing the contract ang getting off for the south before Christmas. Many of the work- men employed by this concern have tmn— homes in the south and ' want nd the holiday there. During a ew hours yestorday there was & little dlfllml!y obtaining water enough for the boilers, but this was obviated about 4 p. m., and plenty of water was had from that time on. The new supply will probably be coupled up to the pump very soon, after which no trouble is anticipated, although the low level of Oxoboxo is regretted. The system of water distribution is interesting. . From the main supply pipe, which is carried many hundred yards around through Haughton cove, the water is received at the mill, where the main pipe enters a distributing box, from which issue numbers of small pipes and rubber tubes which convey the supply here and there to the enginéh, and boilers as they are moveg up and down in the course of opergtions: There are seven boilers to be supplied constantly, in_addition to which water is required for concrete ‘mixing and other purposes. A remarkable feature of the work is that, notwithstanding somfe 200 men are employe one serfous accident has occurred. Unclaimed Letters.
