Years ago unsuc- cessful attempts were made to keep the organization alive, but failure was due to the fact of the apparent ex- tréme disparity in the ages of the members,” which was more noticeable at that time than the present. Now this is all cha,p‘ed and the member- ship is made in thc main of men who are now. much older than were their fathers just after the cruel war was over, and are therefore old enough to “are on Lathrop nint ever | realize the importance of the organ- ‘| ization and the homor connected with the membership, The present organization has in its -ranks repr»entnuveu of the profes- sional and the business life of the city, men of influence and good standing, and who consider. it a pleasurable duty to aid in every possible way the Grand Army of the Republic and thereby do honor to their fathers who risked llve- that the union might survive. It has been said, and perhaps truly that no organization can succeed th Grand Army of the Republic, and that wihen the last member dies the or- ganization dies also; as it is an or- ganization of men who served honor- ably in the union army in the civil war. and none others are eligible to a place on that roll of homor. Still, the sons of these gallant soldiers of the long ago can perpetuate the mem- ory of their fathers by guarding the beautiful Memorial day custom, and after they have done to the world their sons and grandsons and so on down the line can do likewise until the Angel Gabriel blows the final taps. / The United Spanish War Vetera legitimataly claim thc right to observe Memorial day, for it is now conceded to be the proper day when the graves of all soldiers from revolutionary times should be strewn with flowers with attendant memorial services. Here in New London there is a breach between the veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars that should not exist, and for the good of all concerned there should be a meeting and shaking of hands over the dividing chasm. Then Sthere would be no fear of the Memorial day exercises ever becoming txtinet as the Sons of Civil War Vet- erans and .the Sons of Spanish War Veteran. and thelr descendants eom would tend to perpetuate the ;n%hm.l ‘pbservance for all time. e trouble between the veterans of -the two wars l'in t(ren measure ‘to_the actio it _post com- who insisted 8 1 war veterans, but objected to doing like Service for the sons, especially as most of the latter had opportunity to show patriotism when troops were called for in the Spanish war, and are fully as old as the majority of the Spanish vets. These latter believe that their place is next to the Grand Ar- my men, not in advance but close in the rear without any other organiza- tion intervening. It is to be hoped that the veterans of fhe two wars will get together and heal up the differ- ences, giving the Spanish vets what many believe to be their simple rights. Mayor Mahan’s many propositions towards the general and permanent improvement of the city of New Lon- don, as well as those of the Munici- pal Art society, show no signs of com- mencement as yet, indicating that calm always precedes activity. ideas that he may be In a quandary to .where first to begin, although his evident intention was to first bury the now overhead wires In Bank street Pending this propesition, the work of repaving Bank street? is being held up for another year, The delay is worth while, perhaps, for when the wires are out of sight that thorougi- fare will be greatly beautified and will probably count for more than can be accomplished by the Mumicipal Art society during the first year of its ex- istence. By the way, this new soclety be- lieves in advertising in a legitimate way by paying for a regular space in a newspaper, seeking new menibers at the rate of two dollars aplece per annum. By this method the society ex- pects to get ample funds to carry out the plans for the general beautification of the city. It is a pity that the soclety was rot in existence when the plan for the preservation of the old court house that did not preserve was under con- sideration, for that was an oppor- tunity to get a buwilding that woull have been a it to fl!' eity, an ep- portunity hat will probably nev- er return during the lfetime of the roungest New T.ondener.. The cause, whittled down to a fine point, was op- position to the them Mayor Arm- strong’s idea of 2 combined county and eity building, fearing that the worthy chief magistrate of the city would be credited with securing a fine public structure within the limits of the city which he managed for three years on the same:plan that he conducts his own successful business. The recon- structed building is nearly completed But, as to preservation of old court house, in the words of Domlnick Mullaney, ’God save the mark.” Jomathan Charles Brown, the New London youth who has been in consid- erable trmblo and given trouble to others for two yur- and more, is free again and has the opportunit ing a better life, gvtflnl a good sta: before he, attains his majority. son of a respected father, now ceased, and of an estimable mothe: Jonathan, or Charles, as he was best known, strayed from the narrow path and became entangled in the meshes of the law and for very serious offenses, but, has been fortunate in ewcaping ent uuu-!l; m‘ud.om for L5 the police court and In was never u.ll- _ed_for sentence. Theh came -.u-epldemk of incendiary fires such as New Ld'nun nn'n; 4 o general favorite were in the vicinity of the boy's homa, and in faot his own house was fired. There was the strongest sort of ‘su picion that young Brown was the fire bug and he was arrested on one com plaint and bound over for trial in the superior court. When relatives offered to furnish bonds they were advised not to do a0, as other com; would be immediately . made and the boy would be arrested. So he went to jail. Be- fore the superior court oconvened he was released from custody on ocendi- tion that he would leave the country. This -:reemem was made and it was phnno ro; the bay to take up his (, Bel grandfather u:m ng brig-ht boy, those ~who knew him best, this -dbl did not cause very severe criticlsm. ch.rioy was next heard from in idence a short while after his re- lo-u where he w- ML- iary work on » scale, ng been suspected of wudflr. off no deas than seven fires. Then the boy's friends be- gan to believe that he was mot such a bad boy after all, as he was not re sponsible for his acts by reason of an unbalanced mind. In Providence he was indicted for setting fire to a dweiling house July 10, 1908, and with setting fire to0 & barn ten days afterward. He was tried be fore a jury on Nov. 10, 1908, and verdiot of not gwilty by reason of sanity was returned im both cases, and he was committed to the Lsiand state hospital for the insane. He made his escape soon thereafter, but was promptly returned, only to . eseape again, and had been away from the in- stitution about & year when he weas captured by State Policeman Rudd snd returned to 3:; |:dlfi(‘I:tlQfl.

The members of the focal musicians’ union have heen very active in. oppos- ing the military band, and en severna! oocasions have inconventeneed orgam izations and put thern to increased pense by forcing. them to hire mu wians from elsewhere, as the musicians were not considered petent, as now organised, to fimh satisfactory music. Had these same musaicians, most of them engaged in other business, used one-half the energy displayed in - ing the military band to the on of a band of local musicians, the eom - mander of the coast artillery district could net truly say that there was no Band in New London. If these same musicians were more wvited and fn harmony with each other there weuld be a creditable brass band in MNew London, every orchestra in the would be unionised, and there would mno need for aoction against the band from Fort Wright, as then it would be & matter clearly regwiated by law.
