You are most welcome. Tli’eré re 3 Features in ges which make them sup;fior to any others ~ 1. The Single Damper 4 2. The Oven heated by cup-joint flues 3. The Two Hods ir the base - ,, Either of these features is worth* the price of the range. The Single Damper is the greatest help in cooking ever invented. One motion —push the knob to “kindle,” “bake” or “check”—#ke vange does the. rest. The Oven is heated by the cup- joint flues el over alike; no “cold corners,” no’ “scorching spots”. Quickest .and surest baker. The Two Hods in the base (pat- - ented) is a wonderful trouble-saving feature. The ashes fall through a chute into a Hod which is easy to empty. The Coal Hod is beside it. Gas Ovens and Broilers for end or above range if desired. Ask the Crawford agent to show you and write us for circular. o ¥rh Voo Walker & Pratt Mfg. Cs., 31 Union St., Boston " Poz Sdle by M- HOURIGAN, Norwich, Agent. i : discriminating dressers of Relative to the homestead of Col- onel John Durkee, who took such an important part here during revolution- ary times, Amos A. has been making a thorough search to de- termine the location of his homestead. In this he has been successful, and writes regarding it as foll,ws: At the time of the celebé.tion of the 50th ‘anniversary of the founding: of Norwich, Inquity was made as to_the location of .the home of Colonel John i Durkee of = revolutionary fame. A i marker bearing Durkee’s name an; the I.\'ears of his birth and death was plac- ed on a tree upon the Thomas land, so- called, on the easterly side of West Town street, about half way between Norwich Town and Bean Hill. It was . nniderstood that this very likely did i ot mark the exact site of the Durkee i rouse, but location was believed to have been in that vicinity. i An examination of the Norwich land j records points to- a location of the | house lot a few rods south of that in- | gd‘,‘cated, on land now partly owned by ; Henry J. Kilrow, No. 103 Wi street, and partly by theé Weiler estate, { No. 101 In 1752 Nathan and John Durkee purchased of the Ephraim Farnam es- i tate the dwelling house and a tract of land on the easterly eide of Town | street, as then called, four rods wide in front and ten rods deep. This was the home of Colonel Durkee during all the later years of his life, and probably fromr the itimé of the pur- chase. deed of the premises from Gurdon Huntington to Eliphalet Baldwin of 1811, as “owned many years by Colonel John Durkee.” An earlier record, in ‘MARRIAGE FOLLOWED ORDERS TO MAJOR SHAW Ceremony Hastened When Relieved of Command of Naval Station—His Bride Miss. Winifred Bartlett. Ordered from duty as commandant of the United States naval station at New London to New York, Major Melville. J. Shaw of the marine corps was married Monday night to Mis: Winifred Bartlett, daughter of George H. Bartlett of New London. The wedding was not to have taken place for several months, but Monday aft- ernoon it was decided to hold the cer emony Monday night and it was per- formed in St. James’ Episcopal church by the rector. Miss Sallie Oakley of Mamaroneck ° was bridesmaid and Lieut. -F. B, Garrett,” -who succeeds Major Shaw, acted as best man. Major and Mrs. Shaw left for New York Monday night. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. Four vaudeville acts and a well se- lected list of moving picture films made up an entertaining and fun-pro- ducing bill at the Auditorium on Mon- day, beginning the week before good sizad audiences. With a special bat- tleship-setting which opens up with a night scene showing the lighted ship, 1’Aiglon, the flying sailor, does a lot of fancy and novel work on the high horizontals and trapeze,.winning a hand in particular for his human-fly act in which he walks head downward from one side of the stage to the othar. : _ Two turns that score big in the comedy line are The Hamiltons and the Crumbley & Dayis team.’ The first named@ have a neat little duologue-of songs and jokes with something of the lively soubrettish in Miss Hamilton’s work that is a faverits with all who, see and hear her. Crumbley & Davis are a clever pair of coon shouters who mix up with their funny work some taking vocal selections that make a hit. Lee’s Marionettes are done with skill and bring out the laughs for the funny | antics of these little people as handled by Mr. Lee. The bill as a whole fills out its two hours with pleasing enter- tainment. STATE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS. Report of Directors Issued Covering Two Years.

The growth of the day nurser which .was opened at 84 Union street in Dzcember, has surprised even those who predicted its success, ‘Middletown ' Sun. The nursery was opened on the 12th of December. No children came until the 22 then progress has bezn stead number of children cared for during the last two weeks of December was 30, in January 220, in February 236; 16 is the highest number cared for in one day. The committez in charge is care- ful te investigate all children who ap- ply to make sure that there is nece: sity of the mothers going to work. The nursery will - not receive children when the father is alive-and physically able to support them. The arrival of a new matron during the past week was a matter of interest. Mrs. Woodrow of Fairhaven, Mass., is a lady who has ex- perience .ip many directions, and her coming is regarded as a distinct gain. In the maintenance of such an insti- tution many needs arise.

E. Church—Miss Bidwell Presented Her Handsom Alligator Shopping Bag. ? Friday evening witnessed a -delight ful scene in the parlors of the Trinity | Mcthodist church.” The “occasion was | a reception by the Baraca and Phila- thea classes in honor of Mrs. M. S. Kaufman, who organized them and has been to them of so much inspiration. E. W. Burr, the president of the Bara- cas, was master of ceremonies, assisted by Georgz K. Robinson. the formeér president. The Philathea committee of arrangements was' the president, Miss Mary E. Bidwell, and Mrs. George E. Robinson and Miss' Amy Burlingame. In the course of the evening Miss Bid. well arrested Mrs. Kaufman's atten- tion and in a choicely worded speech expressed the appreciation of ‘the two i classes for the supsrior services that | she, Mrs. Kaufman, had rendered them. { Thereupon she presented her on behalf of the classes with an elegant’soft fin- ished alligator shopping bag with port- monnezau and card case to match as a token of their heartfelt appreciation. Mrs. Kaufman responded with feelings of tender gratitude for this surprise and of regret at a parting so near at hand. Some interesting simple gami®s formed a perteof the programme, at which Rev. Dr. Kaufman and John R. Sayers received the prizes. The at- tendance was large, and delicious re- freehments were served. CURING APPENDICITIS Merely a Matter of Exercing Common Sense, According to a Meriden Phy- sician. In epening his third illustrated lec- ture at the Meriden Auditorium the other night, Dr. B. F. Beardsley gave a 15 minute talk on ‘Appendicitis. He a large dose of epsom salts, then fif- teen minutes later a dose of castor ofil, then fifteen minutts later again the salts, and in fifteen the oil, almost | invariably they. would be relieved. He also saild that hot applications were necessary, and that an important thing |to remember = was that—if pus had i In the meantime a | physician” should be called. | He particularly emphasized! the fact that at the time one should not hesi- tate or walk. Concentrated foods should be avoided, and c¢heese should riever be eaten except with the heartiest, meal of the day. He recommended thattwo apples be eaten just before retiring and that while dressing in the merning two glasses of water be taken. Following these simple directions and ! observing entire regularity of habits, | he said, would cude the most obstinate { case of constipation, and thus remove I:he danger of the dreadful eppendici- tis. pain, while if it had not, the pain would be relieved. Trinity Senate on College Frats. With the announced object of mak- ing all elections to class and college honors the result of popular cheise, ! rather than of “deals of intrefraternity understandings,” the senate of Trinity college has passed a resolution pledg- ing itself to do all in ots power {0 pe- vent deals, interfraternity under- standings and the like in class and col- lege elections.” Provision is made for declaring “the election void if it -4s. found, after investigation, election resulted from other than pop- ular choice. The resolution, ich is regarded as on of the most important steps taken by Trinity students im years, has been submitted to the whole undergraduate body, which ‘miust rati- fy it by a two-thirds vote before it can ‘oe enforced. Building Boom in New Haven. While the number of building per- mits issued during last week was but little greater than for the same week Jast year, the amount of money in- volved in the work started showed a gain of more than $100,000 for the reason that permits were taken out for some very larga construction jobs, while at this time last year each per- mit issued represented only a small piece of work. Building 1 ctor Austin’ jssued 16 pormits, providing for work worth, as stimated from the plans filed in his office, close to $170,000. #In the same week last yvear permits were granted jand thesc furnished work for the con- i a total cost of tractors that reached something like $70,000.
