Jerome Tourtelivtte viewed again the scemes of the civil war with whic he was so famillar in the fighting of ‘61, The following 1s from the onohan- | showing the | the | { | i divoree ¢ | | | | he built fortifications and helped ‘take the confederate fortress as a captain in the union army. B “The colonel is not what people would call an old man, although he was in manhood’s prime when he land- ed on Tybee's strand in December, 1861, as captain of the Seventh Con- necticut infantry, .detailed to break into the heart of the confederacy by invasion from the sea. , As he talked today of the days of '61 and spring- time of ’'62, when his guns and men forced Pulaski to fall, Colonel Tour- tellotte’'s eyes glistened with the mem- ory of the recital “With his wife, Colonel Tourtel- lotte, who is now treasurer of the Putnam Savings bank of Putnam, Conn., has been on a short vacation in Florida. He had been to Savanaah once before in 1873, but had been un- able to get to Tybee or Fort Pulaski On this trip, however, he suddenly decided when nearing Savannah to go down and see for the first and proba- bly the last time, the scenes where he spent the most exciting and, what he terms, the best part of his life. “The couple registered last night at the Pulaski and first of all greeted Night Clerk F. C. Herendeen, whom they had eoriginally known in Putnam. Colonel Tourtellotte began to ask questions about the old fort and if it was gtill there, and if it looked as it did in ’62, and what was down at Tybee, Mr. Herendeen informed the union veteran that Pulaski kad chang- ed but little and that it was an easy matter to get there. The veteran's determination to see it became srong- er than ever. “He came south om the steamer 1lli- nois on the Port Royal expedition in command of the Seventh Connecticut infantry. The company with others was soon detailed to Tybee to com- mence work preparatory to taking Pu- laski. They labored. as the historians all tell, until the spring of '62, when it was determined that the assault should be made on Colonel Olmstead of Savannah, commanding the fort. ‘What followed is history. “After leaving Savannah, Colonel Tourtellotte was engaged in the as- sault on Fort Wagner, where he re- ceived his first wound of the war. He had a brother in the Sixth Connecticut who was killed in this investment. He continued through the war, fighting with Grant on the James, and when finally musiered out had been pro- moted to the rank of lieutenant col- onel. The greater portion of his serv- ices was as major of the Connecticut battalion. He says his ds spent in the south are the most vivid in his memory.” To Reduce Telephone Toll. Representative J. M. Tatem of East- ford is sponsor for a bill shortly to be brought before the house for es- tablishing a toll telephone rate of 15 cents between Putnam and Williman- tic, The present rate is 25 cents. Blaze on Roof. An alarm rung in from box 15 short- after 8§ o’clock Thursday morning, lled out the fire department for a small blaze on the roof of a house in the alleyway next to the City hotel. The blaze was put out with chemicals shortly after it was discovered. Evening of Whist.

Truant Officer Farnan Would Make It a Misdemeanor to Sell Even to Aduits. James Farnan, truant officer of ridgeport since 1904, and with his erience of seven vears to back it says that it would be an excellent & if some one in the state “had to stop the sale of ciga- the borders of the com- thin backbone” ettes inside monwealth. He say some of the western siates have passed statutes prohibiting the manufacture or sale of cigarettes in the state limits and he favors similar action in Connecticut. In the past several months he has rounded up neariy if not quite a score f little boys in the West End who have become slaves, more or less, to the habit of indulging in “coffin nails.” Men have been prosecuted and pun- | ished for selling cigarettes to these | boys, but that will not stop the boys 1s long as they want to smoke. “It's almost impossible to stop | them, said Officer Farnan. “The only way to do it is to prevent ciga- | | rettes being sold in the state to any- body. It should bhe made a misde- meanor. That would do more to stop them ihan anything else | Holb MISS HOLBROOK NOT RICH. Missionary Did Not Leave an Estate Worth a Hundred Thousand Dollars. Wh the will of Miss Mary Anna ok, a foreign missionary. was offered for probate at New Haven, it wag supposed it would disclose the fact that Miss Holbrook had worldly goods to the amount of $100,000. The { publication of this rumer caused wide comment that a missionary left | 0 much money. The true facts the | case, however, reveal that M Hol- | brook, who was a sister of Dr. Hol- | | brook of East Haven, left an estate of only $5,000, and the suspicion which | naturally attaches to the fact of a laborer in the mission field leaving so much, is removed. Miss Holbrook never ceived | than $400 to $500 a vear as a medical Ul vears as a missionary in China and | Japan accumulate property worth $100,000. The estate, which she died sed of, was the interest and principal of $2,500 left her by her | vannah Press of March 14: “Seized @ suddea desire to vis- t again the sceues of his victorious | fighting days When a captain in the!
