UNITED WORKMEN. Supreme Master Workman Will N. Narvis of Muscatine, Iowa. has com- pleted his series of visitations to dis- trict and lodge meetings in Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and left to return home last Sunday. He went away expressing great satis- faction with the result of his visita- ticns with the spirit of loyalty to the Order, and disposition to work for its further prosperity, which he found | everywhere manifested in his visita- tions and said that this visit to the | Fast would Dbe long cherished as a very pleasant spot in his A. O. U. W. memories. ~ Although a Western man by birth and life long afliations. he bas also Connecticut ties, as Mrs. Narvis who accompanied him to Con- necticut had blood relatives in New Haven, she being a niece of the late arles Homan, who was for many years a leading New Haven photo- grapher. 5 The death of Edmund Tourtelotte of Putnam, removes a worthy citizen quite well known in that section of the state. He was a member of Put- nam lodge, No. 19, and Jjoined it in 1586, ihree years after its imstitution. He died November 22, aged The Grand Lodge finance committee at the meeting of the Grand lLodge xecutive C‘ommittee held last Tues- day evening at the Grand Lodge of- fice in New reserve fund of Haven reported that the the Grand Lodge arccunt at the clése of busines, October 31st, to $266,201.33 and a sup- mentary report since that shows that since October 3ist, up to dnte over $7,000.00 has been added the fund, making the amount of the fund up to date over $273.000.00. The Executive Committee expressed them- selves as more than gratified at this fine_showing. After the meeting of the Lorge Executive Committee in New Haven last Tuesday evening, a meet- ing of the District Supervisors was held. There are eight districts in the state, each having a Supervisor, and there are two deputy supervisors. All ten deputies were present. The meet- ing was held to further the campaign work for new members throughout the state, so auspiciously begun and carried on during November. All present manifested great interest in the campaign work and eagerness to take hold and push on the campaign work in their various districts. A special town meeting was held November 25th in South Coventry for the purpose of considering the matter of buyving the building of Coventry lodge, 15, A. O. U. W.. and con- verting it into a town building. The society is desirous of disposing of its property and thought the town should have first chance at it. About fAfty of the electors met and elected Henry #. Parker, chairman, John S. Cham- plin was clerk. After discussion pro- and con. the chairman called for a vote with the result that those who opposed the idea of buying the prop- erty were in the majoritv. The meet- ing then adjourned. The building in question has been erected for a num- ber of years. Formerly it was con- sidered 'a good investment, because dances were given at the lake. Bul row that the amusement pavilion has been erected at the lake, this is used for dances. The Coventry lodge brothers wiil now try to dispose of the property to private individuals to be converted into a dwelling.

INDUSTRIAL COMPANY PAYS DIVIDEND. | Police Protection Wanted in Neglected Sections—The Police Committee Usurp Authority—A Police Signal and Tele- phone System Sadly Needed. There are places in this city where young men and boys resort that are fully as dangerous as the saloons, which seem to be overlooked by the local and state police, and even by the energetic committee of fifteen of the Men's and Mothers’ club and kin- dred reformatory organizations. Refer- ence is made to the petty gambling plages that are opened as frult stores, pool rooms and the like, but which are in reality the junior department of the gambling places where the stakes are larger. This petty gambling is carried on in the open in some of these places, and is with dice and gambling machines, and which is only the step- ping stone to the gaming tables. Aside from the evil results of the boys who get rid of their pennies and nickels, this open gambling has a demoraliz- ing influence that should be nipped be- fore it blooms into a public disgrace upon the city as a whole. There is said to“be a place for everything and that evervthing should be in its place. If that be so, the show front part of stores should not be the place for gambling, and such places should not be permitted to harbor boys still in their in knee brecches. It does not augur well fo compel all people passing some of the principal streets to be forced to witness boys shaking dice in some particular game, guided by the bearded proprietors who reap the pecuniary benefit. If this gam bling is to continue, some one in au thority should make a police request r a city to through members.

HEPTASOPHS. Norwich conclave, No. 424, received a communication at its regular meet- ing last Monday evening in Hibernian hall stating that Organizer Duncan would be here in about four weeks to work for the conclave. As the next meeting for the election of officers, and it is desired to have a large at- tendance at that time, a special com- mittee was jappointed to arrange for some extra attraction that evening. The conclave has received an invi- tation to attend the past archons’ an- nual conveation to be held on the eve- ning of December 9 4n New Haven. Supreme Archon Cohen and some of the other supreme officers will be in attendance. and it is desired to have a representative from every conclave in Connecticut there, in order to try and induce the supreme management to Jeave Organizer Duncan in this section for an indefinite period. As it is at present Brother Duncan’s term in Connecticut will expire on February 1, but as he has been doing good work and bringing in many mem- bers, it is thought best to have him stay here until he has more thoroughly covered the field. which he cannot very well do in the limited time allotted to him. Financier Dan Williams was elected to represent Norwich conclavy at the past archons’ meeting, with Secretary J. F. Cothrane as alternate Other past archens will attend OWLS. At the regular meeting of Norwich nect, No. 1396, in Owls’' haill on Tues- day evening, President Ashiey T. Boon was in the chair. Half a dozen new names were voted in and two more ap- plications were presented. ‘This meeting was the nest’s first an- niversary of its institution, a fact which was noticed in some of the brief talks made under good of the order. The nest has recently recetved from Mrs. George A. Boon a_photograph of the late Dr. George A. Boon, who was captain of the derres team, and It is proposed before long to have photo- Eraphs of the team members arranged in a large frame to be hung in the Tooms of the nest. ELKS.

New York that the scene of action be changed from the front to the rear of the stores. | Then the direct degrading influence | would be confined to the fellows who | play the games and would not excite | the attention of the innocents on the outside. The New London Industrial company, owner of the building occupied by the Copper and Brass Tube company, and composed of a large number of stock- holders who subscribed in response to | appeals of a committee of the court of common councll, at the suggestion of Benjamin L. Armstrong, when he was New London’s business mayor. The investment has proven successful ! and the stock has earned a 5 per cent. | @ividend, although no profit was ex- | pected by the investors for some time, the investment being made for the purpose of securing a thriving indus- try. The company is permanently or- ganized with Mr. Armstrong as pres- ident, and a proposition to erect an- other building for industrial purposes is to receive consideration by the com- pany. It is said that some of the stockholders are opposed to this meas- ure, as they do not care to, or are not | able to take any more stock. These | | claim that the purpose of the company | has been accomplished and that they are content to hold what they have without adding thereto. Just how many of this class of enterprising citi- zens there are in the company can only be determined when the proposition is put to the test. Some time ago it was semi-officially announced that the company had gone its full limit, and that as a company could mnot raise funds sufficient, as at present organiz- ed, to erect another industrial build- ing. Former Mayor Armstrong first se- cured the industry and then paved the way for the industrial building, one that was adapted for the proposed oc- cupan But for this action New London would not have this successful manufacturing concern that is sure to increase in importance. Therefore there is incentive for another build- ing, and if it is more than the present | company cares to assume, 4 public | statement to that effect would result in the formation of a similar company and the erection of a home for a con- cern’ that would add materially to the progress of the cit ¢ Complaint is heard of the non-police protection of certain sections of th city, simply because some of the mem- bérs of the regular police force are incapacitated from duty by reason of sickness, especially as there is more than one supernumerary for every reg- ular member of the force. The people pay for police protection and residents in"the neglected sections are nerving themselves up to the point of asking the police authorities why the super- numerarfes are not assigned to cuty until the regulars are ready to return. An excuse is offered that the appro- priation for police is not ample to pay the Tegular salaries should a portion of it be pald to the supers. It is there- fore understood that policemen are un- der pay when absent on account of sickness, which is perhaps zll right so far as it goes, but ghould not carry with it the withdrawal of police protec tion. The appropriation was made for the required police protection, and it no appropriation is made for meeting | cases of sickness the regular appro- | priation should not be weakened on | that account. _BEetter have a deficit at | the end of the year, or, better vet, get a special appropriation and give to | the people the protection to which they | are entitled. Such a condition probably does not exist anywhere else and it is time | -correction was made in New London. | Therefore there is reason for com- plaint, and in the meantime it would | be well for the police committee, who improperly assume the direct manage- | ment of the police force, to get busy | and _call some of the supernumeraries to duty. Hidden away somewhere in the bcok of rules governing the police department of New London defining tae duties of police captain there is a clause specifying that it is up to the coptains to assign the beats of the patrolmen, but this authority seems to have been usurped by the police committee of the court of com- mon council as was demonstrated on Thanksgiving morning at a session held in the police station, with Cap- tain Haven present. It was the oc- casion of the quarterly change of the beats of the officers a plan that was suggested and carried out by the com- mittee the feasibility of which is questioned by some who have given the matter speclal attention. If the commifice insists n these quarterly changea it is within their rights, but when they arrange the bewts and as- sign the officers to the several beats they do so in violation of police rules and take from the captain a privilege that belongs to him and a duty which he Is better qualified to perform than @re the committeemen who are un- familliar with regular police work. As usual the beat of every officer is changed with the exception of the peliceman on night duty at the Pe- auet colony. That beat and the oM cer assigned to the same seems to be a fixture of the department. This 15 due to the fact perhaps that the of- ficer is a resident of the Pequot mec- tion and s not required to report when he goes off duty although he is required to report at the police sta- tion hefore going on duty each night. There is no doubt but the officers performs his duties faithfully and to the full time limit. His word for that and he is known to be a man of his word. This beat is three miles from the police station and the officer has no way of communicating with the station except by private telephone. and there is no way for the officer at the desk to get in touch with this officer. or any other for that mat- ter. during the night, except by the same mathod that prevailed when the Hezekiah B. Smith was the whole po- Hea force of the city. Tt is again impressed upon the city fathers that there fs sbsolute need 0’ a police system of signalling and tslking communication, just a: was ccne in this city before the syatem then in use, and which was a local experiment, went out of commission and beyond repair. There was ap- propriation subsequently made for a standard police signal system, but perhaps for some good r n, and perhaps not, the svstem has never been installed. That was about three vears ago and perbaps that appro- priation under the rules is not now available. But thers i3 still nesd for that svstem and the department will be defleiént in service until it is sup- pHed. Thie matter is worthy the attention of the police committes and 1s entirely within their province l Ex-Mayor Armstrong was compelled (Continued ¥n Page 16.)
