SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. maylisd Result in the Suit of Williams vs. H After Non Suit Had Been Lenied—No Decision in Couture-St. Onge Case. wkins and Others Two cases on the list assigned for this weck in the civil superior court were dispased of on Wednesday before Judge Shumway. At the opening of court at 9.30 the arguments were com- pleted in the suit of Harmidas Couture ve. Louis St, Onge, Attorneys Perkins and ~Desmohd being heard. Judge Shumway reserved his decision. The case of Clarence H. Williams vs. ‘William Hawkins and others was then taken up, this being a sult m which a Teceivership was asked for, both par- ties being interested in the Hawkins English Wafer company of Mystic. It was brought out in the testimony that about a year ago Messrs. Hawkins and Williams formed a _partnership, Mr. Williams to go on the road and Mr. Hawkins to operate the factory, each to get $15 a week. Later the company was formed, when Mr. Hawkins put in his experience against cash of $600 by Mr. Williams. It was claimed that Mr. Hawkins' habits were not of the best and three months later Cyrus B. Fengar went into the company as mgn- ager and treasurer, placing therein $1,500. As business didn’t pick up and Mr. Hawkins didw't improve, it is claimed a Christian Sclentist was se— cured, but the factory was closed about a month ago. The partners could come to no agreément about forming a cor- poration and the standing of Mr. Fen- gar in the business now is disputed. After the plaintiff's evidence was in Attorney Latimer asked for a non- suit, which was argued, but denied by Judge Shumway. The evidence was continued and Mr. and Mrs. Fengar testified as to their interest in the company, Mr. Fengar stating that if the business had suc- ceeded all would have gotten their share out of it, but the agreement was that it it did mot succeed h was to have the machinery because of financial aid. At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Shumway decided to appoint Attorney Latimer as temporary re- ceiver to seil out the goods of the com- pany and his bonds were fixed at $500. That concluded the business of the afternoon and court was adjourned un- il this morning at 10 o'clock, the cases of Jennings vs. Jennings being “the first assigned, to be followed by Dun- bar vs, Dunbar and Dolbeare Vé. Axers. HISTORY OF THE LOCAL SALVATION ARMY CORPS How the Work Which Captain and Mrs. Douglass Is Doing Was Started and Is Being Carried On. A friend interested in the Salvation Army has.contributed the following sketch of their work in this city: The work of the Salvation Army al- ways interests. The soldiers in their uniforms of blue, and the lassies In their quaint and not unbecoming bon- nets, are generally noticed by peculiar work was that wh ung preacher, Booth, undertook in England. His first sermon was preach- ed with his back against a wall and an umbrella over his head to shield him from the rain, which fell in tor- rents. With this example before them, his followers have always dared wind and wave and all sorts of weath- er in order to carry on the work they haye undertaken. About twenty years ago the Army openeq work in “this place and the corps stationed here did a good work for the beterment of moral conditions in the city. In the relizious meetings conducted at the time there were many notable conversions, and the grea part of them are now enlisted in_the different churches of the place. This is a bit of evidence to refute the often repeated_charge that the Army con- verts only “stick” while the noveity of the drums and the cymbals remain: The work here was given up after a time and the corps was ordered to other fields. The effort was in the na- ture of a pioneer movement, a blaz- ing of the way for guidance in future endeavors along the same line. Three years ago the 12th of last October, when the former presence of the Ar- my’s lads and lassies had been almost forgotten, Captain. and Mrs. Locke were ordered here to open the work agam. Once more the drum was heard as the Salvation Army marched through the streets, singing, preaching and praying. The work was very promis- ing in its beginning and in a short time they had hall and quarters in the Beckwith property, on Main street, but since have moved their hall to the Chapman building, on Bath street, and their quarters are at 323 Franklin street. From the beginning the Army has employed peculiar methods in its relying largely on the outdoor meetings and the holding of testimony and prayer services. Earnest exhorta- tion is_a strong feature of all meet- ings. With these methods so different from those employed by the churches much good has been done in Norwich, but of greater effect in reaching the hearts of the people is the charitable work and house to house visitation by which the Army seeks out those in want and brings to them the ald need- ed. The annual .Christmas dinner for those who cannot buy for themselves is another work which the Army car- ries on. The sincerity of workers in the Sal- vation Army is seldom questioned, yet if it should be by any, let one consider for a moment_the remuneration which the field workers receive. An ensign is paid the munificent salary of $8 sin- gle, married $11; captain, single $7, married $10; a licutenant 36. The only perquisites are the use of the Army's furnished living rooms. For this hand- some remuneration these fleld officers worl early and late, in summer heat ang winter cold. No, it is something more than financial repayment which leads these people, many of whomhave been reared in homes of ease and lux- ury, to go into this work, to endure its “hardships and privations: more than this, the salary often fails to come, as every expemse of the corps be met before the officers may be : and if there is not enough left to pay all, their salaries come pro ta ptain and Mrs, Thorne had charge f the work here for fouteen months and while here did a good work. After them came three sets of officers, who did not seem to get along here very well on account of sickness and other unforeseen hindrances. The present officers are Captain and Mrs. Claud Douglass. The Army is a church society, with a regular membership organized along military lines, and all of its work is carried on with military precision. Of- ficers in charge of the different local "orps are usually transferred annual- but changes made quarter- ¢ if son, thus the last few instances in the Nor- h corps on account of sicknes Tn the scheme of government of the Salvation Army the New Kngland states are regarded as a province, of hich the commanding officer is Colonel Adam Gifford. with headquarters in Boston. Four districts form the province, Norwich being in the southern New England division, with divisional headquarters at Hart ford, Conn. Every corps sends in its reports weekly to the divisional officer, aré the hooks and general condition of the separate corps are regularly in- spected. The system is such as to in- | sure faithful effort on the part of all. The pay is small—a decided tenden- cy to keep out those who might be lookiag for an easy life with good pay and litle work. The Army tries to convince by its work that it has a real feeling and a genuine sympathy for all in distress. By.comforting those in sorrow, it opems its way for its evangelistic work, which is never nes. lected by these methods. By showing its sincerity at all times, the Army has secured a stroug hold upon public esteo With the beginuing of spring and the installing of new officers let us ope that the work of the Army in orwich will Lie of great benefit and sting effect during all the months and years to come. .

The annual session of the grand todge of Independent Odd Fellows of Connecticut was held at Odd Fellows’ hall in Waterbury Wednesday. .The meeting opened at 10 o'clock with a large number of delegates from the ninety-two subordinate lodges of the state and with many past grand officers and distinguished visitors present. Grand Master William E. Thoms of Waterbury presided and the grand lodge was opened in due form and the distinguished guests accorded honors. Grand Master's Report. Grand Master Thoms in his report reviewed the work of the year. He sald in part: The Odd Fellows of Waterbury are very glad to welcome you once more to their home city and trust that the year which has gone by since last the grand lodge met in annual session has been one of happiness and prosperity to each and every one of you. It has been one of Toutine work, N0 new sub- ordinate and but one Hebekah lodge having been instituted in this jurisdic tion. “Nevertheless, the order Has pros pered greatly and the subordinate lodge membership has crossed the line of twenty thousand, certainly a cred- itable showing for a comparatively small jurisdiction. And it has been a season of peace and harmony, few appeals having been taken and very little having occurred to mar the good feeling that should and does exist among the individual lodges and mem- bers that make up our united whole. The district deputies have been ex- ceedingly faithful and efficient and deserve the thanks of all of us for their careful and intelligent oversight of the lodges under their care. Upon them primarily depends the welfare of the order throughout the state, and they have certainly discharged thei duties well. Two new lodge halls have been dedicated during this year, one for Charter Oak lodge, No. 2, in Hartford, on March 25, 1910, and one for Relief lodge, No. 86, of New Haven, on April 5, 1910, Both are convenient and hand- somely appointed halls and a credit to ihe lodges who possess them. Among those who passed away dur- ing the year was Brother Frederick Botsford, grand secretary emeri*us. Assisted by the president of the state assembly and by the grand sec- retary, on June 25, 1909, I instituted Medora Rebekah lodge, No. 53, of Deep River. This lodge started with a large charter list, among whom was the grand patriareh, and has since been doing well. T can add but littie to the compre- hensive report of the home corpora- tion, which is presented today, except to join with # my own personal testi- mony as to the good there accomplish- ed. T have visited the home a number of times this year, as your representa- tive on the board of managers. It is, I believe, well and economically run. It would be well worth the while of the members of our order to visit the home, especially on April 26 and: Labor day of each year, when fitting exercises are held, and get some personal knowledge of the way ¥t is conducted. Grand Secretary’s Report. Grand Secretary Wiillam S. Hutch- ison of New Haven presented his re— port. It included the following figures: Total assets Jan. 1, 1910....5780,980. Total funds Jan. 1. 1910.... 670,744.65 Invested in regaila, para- phernalia, etc. Net gain in funds Total membership Ja 110,235.56 Total numbker of Rebel lodges par Jast Teport. .....: 50 Instituted June 25, 1 Medora Rebekah lodge, No. 53......... 1 Total lodges < otal funds Jan. 1, s et gain in funds .......... 1,015.01 “As the successor of Brother Bots- ford in the office of grand secretary, it is fitting that I shouid call attention to the condition of the order in this jur- isdiction when he entered upon the duties of grand secretary. Brother Botstord was elected and installed into this important office at the annual ses. sion of this grand body held in New Haven May 19, 1869. There were then twenty-four lodges reporting a membership of 2,202. He retired as grand secretary emeritus at the = sion held at Bridgeport May 16, 1906, reporting ninety-one lodges with a membership of 15.606; at the date of his death. July 7, 1309, there wera ninety-three lodges with a member- ship of 20,230. These figures speak volumes for the great work accom plished by Brother Botsford and his contemporaries; very few of the broth- ers who were present in’the grand lodge at the session of 1869 are living today. Twelve years ago Wednesday, Mav 18, 1895, we met in annual session in the city of Waterbury, when my prede- cessor reported eighty—three subordi- nate lodges, 16,355 members, funds $424,157; today, on our return to Wa- terbury we can report ninety-three subordinate lodges, 20,399 members, funds $670,744.65, a gain of ten lodges. 4,014 members, funds $246,587.65, the Rebekah lodges show a gain of six lodges, 1,195 members, funds $8,800.34. This is o record of which we can well feel proud. I belfeve, however, that never in the listory of the order in this jurisdiction has there been such an awskening as seems 10 be going on all over the state. Many lodges that for years have been in & dormant con- aition_are becoming active, and the year 1909 has been one of the most prosperous s our history. Grand Treasurer’s Report.
