NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1910 ; 6he BOSTON STORE Ready for Christmas-- Today’s Needs Also Possibly never before in our bistory have we been so thoroughly prepared to supply our patron in their gift requirements as we are today, yet in those regular lines not necessarily associated with Christmas giving we are equally equipped to meet the wishes of every one. No one depart=- ment will be considered of less importance because of the nearing of the holiday season upon others. From day to day announcements of our special sales will be made that will prove, as al- ways, well worthy the attention of patrons, quite apart from any consideration of gift giving, and in which the prices will be, as heretofore, a potent factor with those who prefer to buy at this store, because of the double assurance of reliability and true economy. little surprises.

NEW LONDON'S ANNUAL YEAR BOOK Well Printed Reports Speak Well For Municipal Enterprise PASTOR M’NALLY A HARD HITTER He Inquires: “Is it Not Time to Wake Up and Give God the Right of Way”—Captain William H. Champlin Retires from Service—He Commanded the Old Brig George of Norwich—The Decease of Tommy Hallam. The taxpayers of New London cheer- | fully pay each year for the printing of | a Year Book which contains among | other matters of municipal interest the annual reports of the standing com- mittees of the court of common council, including that of the health commit- tee in connection with the report of Dr. J. Torrington Black, the health of- ficer, who is responsible for making the health department one of the most important in the city. No one be- grudges the legitimate expenses that are necessary to safeguard the inter- ests of the city and for a proper con- duct of the health department, but there are some objectors to the in- curring of unnecessary expense even in the health department. Although the report of the health de- partment -was made at the October meeting of the court of common coun- cil, in common with the reports of the other committees, and published in the local newspapers, still the committee has issued a nicely printed book of thirty-six pages embracing this same report, and which is also to be printed in_the annual Year Book. It is this specially printed book that gives basis for objection and which establishes a precedent that would be quite expensive if adopted by the other committees of the court of common council. The book is a typographical gem, printed on heavily coated paper and’ illustrated with subjects foreign to the health department work and padded to add to its general appear- ance. One page is devoted wholly to the official seal of the city and another to the John Winthrop monument, and still another to the names of the mem- bers of the committee on health and that of Dr. Black, the health officer. Other full page illustrations are the Maypole dance on Williams park, the Memorial hospital, the New I public library, Morton F. Plant's i Iolanda, Bhaw’s cove, view of London harbor, Ocean Beach, the Man- ual Training school, Fort Trumbull, Lake Konomoc, and a little girl at the seashore. There are three biank pages exclusive of the covers, and a page devoted to city statistics of a general nature, and twenty of the -thirty-six pages are devoted to the actual report of the committes, which will occupy about half that space as printed in the Year Book. It is a nice job of printing and if the cost for five hundred copies is less than $160 the printer did not make the ordinary commercial profit. Just what the expensive illustrations have to do with the report of the com- mittee on_health is not clear to those who are dull of comprehension, and it is just a trifie difficult ¢to determine the n ity for the printing of a spe- cial book for the report of the health committee. It may be that the health committee proposes to cut loose from the other committees and place itsel” m_the the board of school water and sew- er department, @ their report parate from the other coun- v If this be 0 it is a pre- sumption that should receive the ¢ sideration of the 3 council and of the public Pastor McNaily of the First Baptist church has a way of saying things that and he hit hard and sometimes hurt, is not backward about s in print. quoted the pi were public o r time in > 'good past denied, claiming that he had grossly misquoted.

If there are clubrooms with open bars dolng business at a ime when the customers could be gious institutions, and if there gambling and drinking going on at the same time, it is well that an evangelist is coming and that Pastor McNally has given the announcement. Then will be the opportune time for the good pastor to spread the good work by puiting a stop to the evils that he says exists | and of which he must have personal knowledge, for as a rule gentlemen of the cloth know whereof they speak, and are not dispensers of idle word There may be clubs with open bar erated uvon Sundays and other places where the glass and the tables of chance are the bond of and the reform gentlemen wi knowledge of the existence of places should place the proof w police department and therel compel those leading c give God the right of way lives. willing to God th llowship. ¥ have such their in Sometimes it is just as effective to report violations of the law to the police as to proclaim and let it go a‘ that. The police are ready to act in just such cases and upon short notice whenever justifiable, but must have something more substantial than hear- say evidence, which is not always ad- missable in courts of law. Capt. William H. Champiin, who has retired from steamboat servics between New London and New York, where he has been employed for the past qu of a century as pilot on the b the Central Vermont railway and the New England Navigation company, did not earn the title of capiain in the steamboat service. He is an old-time sailor and 1or Many years was i of the brig George, owned by th Huntingion comvany of 2 engaged in trade in the West carrying cargoes of mulasses and su- gar, bay rum, efc., to New London and Thamesville, where the Huntington firm had bonded warehouses and the cargoes were placed in hond and sub- ject to. withdrawal under the direction of officfals of the New London custom house. Captain Champlin at that time was a resident of Watgsford. but now resides in Massapeag. At that time | per and a man named Kelley of Norwich was steward and the men along the wharves-used to say, but of course un- justly, that the captain and the stew- ard, too, occasionally brought a cigar or two, and perhaps a jug or a keg of some liquid that were not entered upon their ship stores or upon the ship's manifest taken by the customs inspec- tor and deposited in the custom house. During the height of the trade with the West Indies a fleet of vessels were engaged by the Norwich importing firm, but the old brig Geerge was the only vessel owned hy the firm, and during their first ownership the George was under the British flag. At ome period of the George's career George T. Marshall was collector of the port, and some were unkind cnough to say that he would ac »t gifts of cigars. bay rum, and perhaps a little Jamaica, that had been landed from the George duty free. Major John H. Tibbits Mr. Marshall as collector, and he and part: friends made a pleasure ico on the George, with in command. Of succeeded a of trip to Porto I Captain Champlin course, what that party brought back was_all duly entered and duty at_the New London custom house. ‘When the busine: with the West Indies declined Captain Champlin re- signed and went steamboating, and was succeeded on the George by Cap- tain Edgerton. This was during the first administration of Grover Cleve- land, and there was a_ change in the entire custom house force, with the exception of the janitor, Anthony Jer- ome, the present incumbent. Soon thereafter a cange in the laws put the J. M. Huntington company out.of busi- ness and the George sailed away from New London never to return, and at paid the same time the former important trade with the West Indies became one of the things that were and are no more to Norwich and New London. A book of Captain mplin’s writing on “What I Know About the Brig George” would make interesting read- ins Thomas Hallam, who for the past forty years has been the only survivor of the old aimshouse that stood on the site of the present Bulkeley school and who has been a town charge for ov sixty years, died suddenly at the alg; house and was buried early this week i e town lot i He was about eigh age and it is said was a de a prominent New London he evidently outlived all h for there were few besides the inmates of the almshouse at the funeral ser- vices and less at the services incidental to lowering the body of Thomas Hal- lam into a pauper's grave.
