It is planned to have the Masonic choir sing several selections at the reception on the evening of the 16th, and also to have readings by Charles T. Grilley of Boston. Mr. Grilley is an Odd Fellow and was formerly a resident of Water- bury. The L. O. O F. ccnvention will be presided over by Grand Patriarch Karl L. Winter, who was elected at the ses- sion in Hartford a year ago. Control of the Patriarch Militant was given into the hands of the grand sire of the sovereign grand lodge of the Odd Fellows when the sovereign lodge in Indianapolis. this week voted that the commander of the military tranch of the order should be appoint- ed by the grand sire instead of elected by the rank and file, as at present. General M. A. Raney of Towa, com- mander of the Patriarchs Militant. and his friends had vigorously opposed :the reform. He will retire Jan. 1 to be succeeded by a commander .to be named by Grand Sire John B. Cockruom of Indianapolis. Among the officers prominently men- tioned to succeed General Raney dre Major General A. R. Stocker of Ohio and Major General James H. Harris of Chicago. Twenty-five thousand Odd Fellows rarched to the music of a hundred brass bands in a brilliart parade in Irdinapolis during the so/ereign lodge meeting. Major Generat A. R. Stocker of Mi- amisburg. O., was on Friday appointed commander of the Patriarchs Militant, the military branch of the Odd Fel- lows, by Grand Sire John B. Cockrum. The appointment was later ratified by the sovereign grand lodge SONS OF HERMANN., Notices of the coming 25th anniver- sary of the Connecticut grand lodge of the Sons of Hermann were read in the meeting of Germania lodge, No. 11, on Thursday evening in Germania hall, and preliminary talk of members at- tending from this city ensued.

Court Sachem, No. 54, initiated one new member at its meeting on Thurs- day evening in Foresters’ hall, at which Chief Ranger Dona Simoneau was in the chair, and plans were made to get the degree team into rehearsal work in anticipation of a class of more than half a dozen members who are shortly to come into the court. A committee of three was also appointed to confer with Courts City of Nor- wich and Quinebaug in relation to cel- ebrating in November the 20th anni- versary of Forestry in Norwich. The court also arranged that the next meeting would be the beginning of its whist seasen, expecting much in a so- cial and in a financial way from these popular evenings. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Waterbury lodges of the K. of P_are already at work on the.arrangements for the annual meeting of the Ceon- necticut grand lodge in that citv on Tuesday, Oct. 17, which begins with a reception on the evening before the 17th. Already the plans are nearly ma- tured, and if the expectations of the committee are realized the members of the grand lodge and the delegates will have a gala day sure. It was thought same time ago that Grand ancellor David Miller of Wa- terbury might be re-elected, but as such a proceeding would establish. a precedent the boom for Mr. Miller's re-election has died out. There may be friendly contests over filling some of the offices, it is said. WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS.

A quaint little hooklet, carrying be- tween its exquisite covers a quainter little story, is to form the accompani- ment of a golden rosary which will be presented to Cardinal Gibbons on the occasion of his jubilee next month by the Knights of Columbus, through a committce of five prominent officers of the order, Attorney John H. Reddin. author of the book, being a member of that committee. The title of the tiny Romance of a Rosary.” and it relates the history of the precious beads which have but one counierpart in the world, and those the property of the present pope, Pius X. Fifty nuggets comnose the string and the value is placed at $1,000. The storsy volume is “The s as follows: In a convent on the outskirts of the fishing village of St. John's, Newfoundland, within sight of the narrows which gave John Cabot his first glimpse of the “new land,” a frail little nun called Sister Clare prayed for the fulfillment of an ambition—an ambition that there might some day grace the shores of the rocky inlet a splendid home for the daughters of the simple fisher fol where they might be educated and fit- ted for their encounter with the world outside. A young Newfoundiander toline for gold in the Klondike struck it rich. Remembering the days when hiy clothes were rags and he could buy no Letter, and the kindnesses done him then by Sister Clare, the youth sent the nun a remembrance of gratitude— a rosary made of fifty rough nuggets of gold. _Attorney Reddin of Denver, with his wife and little daughter, visited Newfoundland last spring and at the convent Sister Clare showed them the wonderful resary and told of her long deferred hope. Reddin offered to dis- pose of the beads for her. and she said that ***° would be ample compensa- engaged. tion and the fisher girls’ home could bo started without delay. Reddin told the story of the rosary to the Knights of Columbus in conven- tion held a short time ago at Detroit and asked that $500 be given for it that the knights might present it to Cardinal Gibbons on his jubflee In- stantly $1,000 was raised. - J. J. Fla- herty, supreme knight of the order, visited St. John's and delivered to the aelighted Sister Clare the money for the golden beads. The story as told in the little book prepared by the Denver attorney is devoid of names and dates and reads like a tale of olden times. It is illus- trated with several pictures taken by him on his trip to Newfoundland. HIBERNIANS. At its meeting next Tuesday evening, in Hibernian hall Division No. 2 will renew its programme of literary even- ings, starting the active fall season. The programme arranged will provide for an entertaining evening, and it is expected that a large proportion of the membership will attend.

There’s not much talk rnowadays of the New London Shié ard Engine ro company, located in ton, on the site of the late lamented Eastern Shipbuilding company that did so much for New London while the big plant .waz in operation. Neither are representatives of ihe industry new to New London airing their business to the public, but jus: the same there are things doing at that busy plant ard in order to keep up with demands 1t is nece: y 1 cay shift: lled mechanigs and with always place for wmachinis grade. Just at the pres work is in the main confined to ma- chire work fcr submarine Toats, which calls for the best there is in that line cf work. This work when completed and ready for installation is shipped to the places where the steel hulls of the hoats are being constructed, altnough the concern of which the New London Ship and Engine company is a part has the contract fer the complete boats. 1t will be noticed that the shops and the office building of the local com- pany are located t> the southward of where the biz machiné shop of the Eostern Shipbuilaing company was located. It is said that this was done to better allcw for the expansion of the plant, which in time will occupy all the “act up to and bevond the old railroad ferry slip, some of the spiles of which are still standing as a reeminder cf the avs before thz Thames river bridge, and when jl— motives, Toad traims, excepting I were ferried across the river. The time is not so very far away when submarine beat boats and perhaps tor- pedo boat destroyvers and similar gov- ernment craft will be built complete at the plant of the New England Ship and Engine company. There is no better location on the entire cesat for ship buildinzg purposes, as it has in addition to direct railroad facilities a water frontage with depth sufficient to float a ship of double the size of any ship ever built. Directly the plant and near the shore a depth of ninety feet of wa- ter, but not so deep as that in the immediate upproach, but still deep enough to accommodate any vessel now in existence. It was here wh the big steamships Minnesota and D= kota were built and launched and fit- ted complete for the transcontinental trade. A location - fitted for such achievement is a lucky find for the and progressive New London and Engine company. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

D CENTRALLY LOCATED TO ALL THE' THEATRES AND RAILWAY STATIONS Clark and Madison Sts., Chicago TOM JONES, Manager E]mm‘ LETTERS T0 THE EDITOR The Otis Library Appropriation. Mr. Editor; In your leading editorials vesterday and today you - say, in of par “I{ is nothing new for the taxpayer: of Norwich to.recommend a tax which is lower than they expect the voters to approve of. It has long been a fashion —a fashion open to criticism.” The Bulletin has for several years called attention to the fact that the Otis Library association, which makes that institution -an auxiliary to the schools of the town, should be consid- ered=a, tegular expense and be includ- ed in the rezular estimates of ex-| penges, &c. H In view of the 'generally understood fact that any item in the regular esti- mates is as open to criticism and re- jection at the town meeting as are any | of the extra items, vour view asabove expressed, commend themselves to many of your fellow citizens. The trustees of the library have nev- er until this year, so far as I know, made request for this change from the list of casual estimates to that of the regular ones. It seemed to them that, after eighteen years on the casual li: a list alway at a disadvantage because of the pub- lic notice to the ‘effect that if any of the casual items are added, the X must be greater than that proposed the selectmen—the Otis lbrary item | might be fairly regarded as a regular | item, as it has every time received the practically unanimous endorsement of | the electors at town meetings. The selectmen seem to think other- | wise, as your editorial of this morning would indicate. T quote therefrom: “The selectmen | present a good technical reason for not | regularly placing the Ot library and | the Academy tuition appropriations in the regular list of estimates. The law clearly states what shall be included,” & € You will put the trustees of the li- brary under obligation by quoting those sectiong of the law which exclude from the regular list estimates for the maintenance of a free public library They do not deem this a matter which will seri~nsly affect the vote on the appropriation for the Otis library at any future town meeting, but if placed on the regular list of estimates it would relieve the trustees of an irk- some annual duty, from and the selectmen the recommendation of “a tax e WHAT’S NEW e 7 which is lower than they expect the voters to approve of’—if, indeed, they |limited, and he has been held up in do so expect. various places.
