A TINGOLY BIRTHONY Carried out Under.Auspices Gathering of Guests. A Lincoln's birthday observance was enthusiastically and successfully car- ried out on Friday evening at the Buckingham Memorial at a _special meeting under the auspices of Sedg- wick camp, No. 4, Sons of Veterans, with a programme of music and ad- dresses that brought inspiration to the audience of milltary men present. Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R., the Cit- izens’ corps, and the Third and Fifth companies, Connecticut Coast Artillery, were the special guests of teh evening by invitation. The two latter, under command of Captain John A. Hasberg and Captain William ¥. Tarbox, at- tended in uniform, about 55 strong. An orchestra of eight pieces opened the programme with several selections, and played at intervals throughout the evening. Chajrman Arthur L. Peale of the committee of arrangements presided, Veterans—Many Fine Addresses Heard by Large ot seagwiet&mi ‘Sons of @ dishonesty. We of this ddy must be ready to livé for our country as our fathers were ready to die for it, and, obedience to Jaw and respect for legiti- mate autherity must be our motto. General William A. Alken followed with words of commendation for the addresses and sentiments he had listen- ed to. He sald there were ominous signs of the times when vested inter- ests were on the anxlous seat,and some people were hoping that the laws on the statute hooks might be only par- tially enforced so that business might not be disturbed. There had been a similar cry before the civil war, but he said he beélieved that we will come out gloriously triumphant from the prob- lems now as we did then. He illus- trated his remarks by reading an auto- graph letter of Governor Bucking- ham’s, showing his instructions to the Connecticut commission to the peace conference. His words received much & ens H 13 Served a u.:)g.ehndn to_Thei Friends i Workshop Friday There was a merry time in the work shop of the water department on Fri- day . when the employes had a chowder to<which they vited the members of ‘the board of water com missioners, as well as the firemen a: the Central station and the chief an.l fire commissioners, who happened to be in session at the time.

Mentioning that his birthday anniversary was on the same date as that of Abraham _ Lincoln, Principal Hobson intensely interested his hearers with a well considered re- view of the labors of President Lin- coln. He described him as one of those heroes and masters of men such as at times arise and are responsible for the advancement and progress of a na- tion or people. He had three great tasks to confront him,and in the solv- ing of these was shown his greatne: He had first to find the right way to solve the problem before him, then to convince the peopl that it was the right way. and lastly to master the men who were to help him to the light he saw. For the first was required statesmaniike quali- ties of the highest order, for the second oratorical gifts of a rare kind, and for the last the mastery of men such as few possessed. Mr. Hobson described how each of these was shown to have been the possession of Lincoln, and said that it seemed as if it was not alone the tragic character of his death that kad served to place him upon a high pedestal, for with an increasing knowledge of Lin- coln was growing a higher estimate of him year by year. His address was enthusiastically applauded Dr. P. H. Harriman, a member of the Citizens’ corps, was the second speak- er, stirrine his audience to hearty ap- plause with his eloquent swords, as he contrasted the two birthdays coming so near together, Washington's and Lin- coln’s, the former president having been the one to wrest the colonies from the hands of the mother country, and the latter preserved the republic and hand- ed it down to the succeeding generation untarnished and a priceless possession. Of Lincoln, some writer Las said the last word can never be spoken. Dr. Harriman related many anecdotés of Lincoln, illustrating his ability as law- yer, debater, story teller and stump speaker, and referred in closing to the first observance of his birthday in con- gress, when Hon. Lafayette F. S. Foster introduced the Historiah Bancroft to ! deliver the addres Rev. W. A. Kecfe. curate of St. Mary’s parish, followed Dr. Harriman with a fervid address upon Patriotism, in which he was_frequently interrupted by applause. Expressing the greatest admiration for the martyred president, as well a8 for the braye men and equal y brave women of all classes, whether at home or in the fleld during the civil war, he called upon his hearers to de- fend the flag against anarchy, social- ism, the divorce evil, race suicide, and applause. The evening ended with the serving of coffee and doughnuts under the di- rection of the committee in charge— Arthur L. Peale, Willam R. Balcom and Louis H. Geer. LINCOLN EXERCISES IN THE SCHOOLS.

Gilbert O. Edwards Claims His Consent Was Only Pretended. Gilbert Orville Bdwards of the tow) of Ledyara has instituted legal pro- ceedings in the nature of an applica- tion to the superior court to have his | marriage annulled. Edwards claims that on the 23d of July, 1909, when he was 16 years of age, 'hé embarked upon the stormy and tempestuous sea of matrimony with Edna Frances Lewls of Mystic, who in age was one year his senior. Claim is made by him that he was induced into said marriage by certain contrivings and_misrepresentations, and that his apparent consent at that time was as a matter of fact only a pretended consent and was given only for the purpose of escaping from the control of the de- fendant. The complainant alleges that he has never cohabited with the defendant since the marriage ceremony was per- formed. The case is returnable to the superior court on the first Tuesday in March, 1910, and will probably attract much "attention, as both parties are well known. - At present Mr. Edwards is employed as hostler.

A Claremont, N. H., despatch says: There appears, to be a joker In the proposed plan to give the Grand Trunk railway another tidewater outlet at Providence, R. I, through the con- struction of a new road from Palmer, Mass., to the Rhode Island capital. This is the optnion of railroad men in this section. The outline of the pro- posed plan has been read iwith con- siderable interest, especially that por- tion which relates to the handling of the traffic over the so-called Central Vermont line, between Montreal and Palmer Taking it for granted that the neces- ry permission will be secured ulti- mately, despite the known opposition of the New Haven management, rail- road men are pointing out the spot where the New Haven management, through its control of the Boston and Maine, and its leased lines, already holds ‘a substantial checkmate on the carrying out of the proposition as at present outlined. Even should the new line be con— structed, not a pound of freight from Montreal or any point north of Wind- or, Vt, could find its way to the new [P STEals N to netel Vermont, which is controlled by the Grand Trunk, without paying toll to the Boston and Maine.

The State’s Sickness. The death rate in Connecticut may have no relationship to the price rate for living, but it apparently moves up- ward in the same ratio. According to the December bulletin of the state board of healtl§ the total deaths in the state were 1,457 during the month, which is 192" more than in November, 177 more than in December, 1908, and 100 more tham the average for the month for the five vears preceding. The death rate was 16.4 per 1,000 for the large towns, 17.4 for the small fowns. and 16.6 for the whole state. The deaths reported from _infectious diseases were 229, being 15.7 of the total mortality. The leading causes of death were Diseases of the nervous system 178 pneumonia 172: heart disease 160: con sumption 135" aceidents and violence Of Infectious diseases it is stated that measles is especially prevalent, there being a t of 801 cases re- ported, of which Bristol has over half, or 42!1’. cases. Of scarlét fever, there are 337 cases and a proportionate pre- valence of other malignant disease.

Among the pupils were Betsey Bobbett, Dorcas Tubbs, Lima Beans ‘and Hezekiah Butterworth, The school sang America, then the arithmetic class was called. Sugges- tive numbers and catchy problems were given. In the music lesson by Professor Screechem (Harry Eastland) the staff was drawn on the blackboard, the pitch given and the class drilled. For the history lesson the date palm was drawn and the class questioned on_different historical dates. During recess, lunches of a ham sandwich, coffee and doughnuts were passed. At the close of recess the bell was rung and the school march- ed in. In the spelling lesson every word was spelled backwards. Draw ing was taught by Miss Sketchitt. The audlence guessed the objects which members of the class drew on the board. The closing exercises consisted of songs and recitations.

Post of | Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a maker of breakfast foods, but he is a strons individualist who believes that | the trades-unions are a menace to the liberty of the country. Belleving this, and being a “natural- born” scrapger for the right, as he sees it, Post, for several years past, has been engaged in a ceaseless warfare against “the Labor Trust” as he likes to call it. Not being able to secure free and untrammeled expression of hie opin- fons on this subject théough the rega- lar reading pages of the newspapers he has bought advertising space for this purpose, just as he is accustomed t for the telling of his Postum “story, and he has thus spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in denouncing trades-unionism. As @ result of Poss activities the people mow know a whole lot about these organizations: how they are honeycombed with graft, how they ob- struct the development of legitimate business, curtail labor's output, hold up manufacturers, graft upon their own membership, and rob the public. Naturally Post is hated by the trades- unionists, and intensely. He employs no union labor, so they can not call out his men, and he defies their efforts at boycotting his products. The latest means of “getting” Post is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was recently wreck in transmission was found to be loaded with empty peanut shells, which were being shipped from the sguth to o=t~ establishment at Battle Creek. This ~anard probably originated with President John Fitzgerald of the Chi- | cago Federation of Labor, who, it Is said, stated it publicly, as truth. Post comes back and gives Fitzgerald the lie direct. He denounces Fitz- gerald’s statement as a deliberate false- hood, an underhanded and cowardly attempt to injure his business, having not the slightest basis In fact. As such an_ effort it must be regarded. It is significant that this statement about “the peanut shells” is being given wide newspaper publicity. In the “patent inside” of an eastern country paper I find it, and the inference naturally Is that labor-unionites are Insiiously spreading this lie. An institution (or a man) which will resort to moral intimidation and to physical force, that will destroy ma- chinery and burn buildings, that will maim and kill If necessary to effect its ends, naturally would not hesitate to spread falsehood for the same purpose. We admire Post. While we have no enmity toward lubor unions, so long as they are conducted in @n honest, “live- and-let-live” kind of & way, we have had encugh of the turred end of the Stick to. sympathize thoroughly with what he is trying to do. He deserves support. A man like Post can not be killed, éven with lies. They are a boomerang, every time. Again we Iknow. for 'hasn't this weapon, every weapon that could be thought of, been used (and not simply by labor uhions) o but us out of business too?
