A company is being organized to take over the Slater mansion and con- vert it into a select apartment hotel. This idea hhs been under way for some time by E. P.

RAIN DID MUCH : GOOD IN VARIOUS WAYS. Amount Receivgd Was .67 of an Inch, Making Month’s Total Over Two Inches. It was a welcomed rain which fell on Friday, beginning about 2 a. m. and continuing until about 2.3Q in the af- ternoon, during which time a total of .67 of an inch fell. It was a steady, gentle rain, without wind, and soaked in as it fell. It makes a total thus far this month of 2.05 inches and helps somewhat in replenishing the brooks and maintaining the reservoir. The rain extended well into the in- terior, while on the coast exposed sta- tions ' like Block Island, R.

The banquet hall, where the exercises were held, ‘was filled with members of the corps, of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, the Citizens’ corps, and Sedgwick camp, No. 4, U. S, W. V, and there was a | g0od number in the corridor, American flags had been used ef- fectively for decorative purposes at the windows and on the' platform where the officers ‘of the corps were seated, and behind which was a ban- ner bearing a welcome to the guests.

Miss Eliz- abeth Crowe was accompanist. History of the Corps. Iy In a most interesting paper, Past President J. Annella Stetson recounted the history of the corps, tracing from its founding up to the presegt time, as follows: <At 3 o'clock, July 28, 1886, after several preliminary meetings, thirty- four women met in Grand Army hall for the ‘purpose of organizing a Wo- man’s Relief corps. Mrs. Mary J. Dy- er, department presiGent; Mrs. Mary E. Roberts, department i tuting and instaliing officer, and Mrs. Fannie E. Hosmer, counselor, were present, and opened the meeting. The officers were chosen during the afternoon, followed by a supper. At 8 o'clock a public installation of the officers was held, Mrs; Mary E. Roberts being the installing officer. Interesting addresses were made by the department officers, also by Com- mander J. Herbert George and several other members of Sedgwick post. After congratulations and best wishes for the new society, Sedgwick; Wo- man's Relief corps, No. 16, adjourned to meet again in two weeks, and we have been meeting twice a month ever since. There are now fifty corps in the state of ‘Connecticut, with a member- ship, March 31, 1911, or 3,373. 'There were three corps in Connee- ticut on July 25 and 26, 1883, when the National Woman's Relief corps was organized in Denver, Col. The Department of Connecticut W. llna.lns');‘Relief'corps was organized April The object of the organization is to aid and assist the Grand Army of the Republic and their dependent ones, 1o parpetuate the memory of our heroic dead in the sacred observance of Me- morjal day and to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of country in the communities in which we live. Our motto is Fraternity, Charity and Loy- alty. Any loyal woman of good moral character is eligible to membership in the Woman’s Relief corps. ‘We have had 271 names on our roll, the number now being 127. Sixteen of the 34 charter members are still members here. ‘We have had 24 presidents, 19 are still with us. We miss many dear, famillar faces who will not meet with us again. In February, 1893, we entertained the dcpartment convention, serving meals in the Grand Army hall, and holding the meetings in the Universai- ist church, ‘We celebrated our tenth anniversary on July 28, 1896, with a reception and entertainment in the Universalist church, foillowed by refreshments in the vestry of the church. April 1, 1898, Sedgwick post moved into its present quarters and we have all felt an added interest and pride in helping to make the house as nice as | possible. Hvery year we have contributed many comfcrts to the soldiers’ home at Noroton, a representative going there.on the day known as Soldiers’ Home day. February 1, 1906, a Woman’s Relief corps home was opened at Cromwell for veterans and their wives, giving us another object for which to plan and work. ‘This corps has been honored by hav- ing one department president and sev- eral other department officers. Many times we have enjoved the open meetings and other sotial gath- erings of Sedwick post, Citizens" corps and Sons of Veterans, sometimes be- ing entertained 'and at other times entertaining. Twenty-five years have passed and the future lies before us. If there has been success, all have their share in it. After an orchestral selection, Mrs. Grace Manning gave the recitation. How Rubie (Rubinstein) Played, _in her inimitable manner: Commander Hovey Spoke. * Commander Henry Hovey of Sedg? wick post was then introduced by Mrs, Kinney and his speech was well directed and greeted with much ap- plause. A good deal might be said about the work of the corps, and its history is full of good deeds and loy- alty, an object lesson to all the ladies in the land. and the commander ex- pressed his hearty congratulations. His admiration for the Woman's Relief corps was strengihened by the fact that posts all through the country say that were it not for the B they would have gone to the wall years ago, You have upheld the principles and have been loyal and helpful to the post, financially, socially, mora and in every other way. 1In closing, he suggested that the male portion of the audience arise and give three cheers for Sedgwick Woman's Relief corps and they were given with a will. General Aiken Praises. Gen. William A. Aiken was the next speaker and he brought felicitous greeting to the corps, congratulating the ladies on their splendid work. The survival of so many of the ¢orps’ past officers he considered remarkable. Alluding briefly*to the days of 1886 and contrasting it was th2 present, he mentioned that his pleasure was so great at the recent action of the pres dent in regard to an important na- tional issue that he sent a message of congratulation to Washington. On Thursday he was graatly surprised and pleased to receive a letter signed by Mr. Taft himself expressing the chief executive's pleasurs at the receipt of the message. It is natural, the general said, that 61d men should be fond of reminiscence, forgetting the future, and somotimes even the present. But do whit we will, we of Ssdzwick post are passinz away, and in another 25 vears the post will be but 4 memory. A thing very much in our minds, he s1id. is what is to bz the future of this historic property of which Sedgwick post is in possession, and he commended the subject to their attention, expressing a hope that before long a disposition might be made that would satisfy all, Past Commander -George.

The storm of Friday was more se- vere out at Block Island than here and it kicked \up a big sea, which caused Captain Hazzard of the steamer Block Island to decide to remain in the harbor there until it had subsided, and the return frip was not attempted. A telographic messaze to New London told of the heavy weather and the de- cision to delay the return until late, it being expected that the boat would get to New London this morning at 5 a'clock, if “the weather permitted. There was not a large passenger list, but there was some anxiety by those who had relatives aboard when the steamer did not return Friday night. It was learned that it had arrived safely at the island and would remain until the weather changed.

Hartford, Conn., July 27.—Nineteen thousana persons in Bridgeport, and 1 few hundreds additional for goud measure, have signed a petition. to tha legislature in behalf of a Sunday ob- servance bill which will allow recrea- tive sports on Sunday afternoons, The Sunday question will be gareshed out by the senate next Tuesday. The new bill which Seznator Judson is expect to present in place of that which the house has rejected will provide that recreative sports may be played on Sunday afternoons, but sports cannot be commercialized nor can storss open for business, or moving picture shows be_conducted, It is understood that many Bridgs- port clergymen are inclined to favor a measure of this kind. The new bill proposed by Senator Spellacy, which will allow moving picture shows to be conducted and stores to open when ne- cessity requires, and permits of sports, is expected to be rejectzd. The sen- ate on the same day is to take up the limitation in death damages bill and ! the armory appropriations bill, and af- ter cleaning up the calendar @ racess for one week will be proposed. The work of the house progresses so slowly that members fear it will be well into September before adjourn- ment comes. Today senators were in- clined to favor a recess until about the middle of September, but prominent members in the house were opposed o this, and some senators feared that = recess might mean a long winter ses- sion. The expectation pow is that ths legislatura will keep on pegging away. Beginning next week, many members will drop out, as they have vacatim arrangements.
