Mrs. Frank Burdick. Sarah Ladd, widow of Frank Burdick, died at 6.20 o'clock Wednes- day evening at the home of her neph- ew, C. E. Douglass, with whom she resided at No. 252 Hickory street. Death was due to age and heart trou- ble and she had been falling for some time previous to her death, She was born in Franklin June 7, 1826, the Qdaughter of Septah Ladd, and passed the greater part of her fife ir that town. She was the oldest of ten children. Her husband, Frank Burdick, a farmer, died 25 years ago in Baltic, where they then resided. During the past eight vears the de- ceased resided with her nephew in this city. Surviving are a brother, Charles Ladd of Greeneville, and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas J. Barber of South Can- terbury, and Mrs. James Ladd of Can- terbu FUNERAL. Mrs. Patrick Kane. The funeral of Bridget Carroll, wife of Patrick Kane, took place from her late home on Roath street Wednesday morning, and many relativas and friends were present. Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice officiated at the services in St. Mary’s church, and the choir sang. Two solos were rendered by Mrs. Mary L. Sliney. The floral forms were numerous and beautiful. The | let 'OPENING OF LENTEN SERVICE Union Service Held at Christ Episcopal Church with Rev. T. E. Calvert of New York as the Preacher. The united services for the Episcopal churches held each Wednesday even- ing through Lent were begun this week at Christ church with Rev. Thomas E. Calvert of New York con- ducting evening prayer and delivering the sermon with special application to the opening of the Lenten season. On account of the stormy night the con- gregation was small, but those attend- ing were well repaid by the helpful discourse given by Rev. Mr. Calvert. His brief remarks, he said, would be in the nature of a continuation of his sermon at morning prayer, and he re- minded the young _churchmen who were growing up to be the future war- dens, vestrymen and piliars of the church that their churchly standing would depend very largely upon how they observed the great days and spe- clal seasons as they came in the church calendar, To Ash Wednesday we come in the spirit of penitenc It is one day upon which we attempt to strike a balance with God. “Search me, O God, and try me; examine my heart {and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in-the way of life eternal” This Is one text particularly appiicable to this day Self examination was adopted by Paul and the other apostles with thes. words: Prove your own self. Do not the day pass without sitting in judgment upon yourself. But this seems difficult, and how is it to be carried out? he asked. Go over the ten commandments, ask your- self the question are you setting uj any idols, are you keeping the sevent day holy, are you honoring father and mother, and so on through each one from first to last, ask yourself whether you are keeping the spirit as well as the letter of the law. Though thou- sands of years old, these command- ments still have the power to convict. Take up the sermon on the mount in the same way and see if we are fulfill- ing that in spirit and in letter, An_d then take up our covenant and see if we are walking in the light us children of light or in the dark as children of | darkness. ! If we are going to be Christians at all, we are to be earnest Christians. The two words are synenomous, they |are inseparable. Let no one think that he can let Ash Weduesday pass and still be a dutiful Christian. Our Lord says strive to enter in at the straight gate and in the straight way, for not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- dom of heaven, but he that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them. | 1f we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. For the united service next week, | which is to be at Trinity church, the ‘Kpren\']lcr will be Rt. Rev. Henry D. Robinson, D. D., missionary bishop of Nevada. WASHINGTON SUPPER AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Given by Church Aid Society, Cunningham Being in Charge. Mrs. The Church Aid society of the First Baptist church gave a most successful Washington supper at the church on Wednesday evening. The dining room, which has been repainted and prettily decorated, was reopened and was an attractive room for the pretty tables. Red and blue runners with the flag as a centerplece for a table decoration and George Washington with Mis; Liberty beneath a draped flag gave a | most peiriotic effect. The people gathered in the church parlors until supper was announced. An orchestra of three pieces—Austin Linton, violin, Fred Manning, cornet, and Waldo Newbury, piano—gave a number of selections before and during the supper hour which were much en- joyed. After supper was announced all re- mained standing while the oung wait- ers and waitresses who were gathered upon the platform gave the salute to the flag ail joining in singing two verses of America. The blessing was asked by the pastor, Rev. F. O. Cun- ningham. The supper served was oyster chow- der, salad, cold meat, rolls, pickles, doughnu ington pie and coffee. The ladies presiding at the head of | the several tables were Mrs. Arthur F. Howard, Mrs. Thomas B. Linton, Mrs. Hattie Sargent, Mrs. James E. C. Leach, Mrs, Amos C. Swan, Mrs. Hez- ekiah Perkins, Mrs. Frank P. Church, Mrs. Charles Lamb, Mrs. Charles Per- kins and Mrs. Fred Wilson. They were assisted by the Dorcas, | Sunshine and Alpha Delta classes, the | Misses Lucille Tracy, Beatrice Perkins, Mazie Stamm, Vera Stetson, Bisie Lindberg, Edna Lerou, Madeleine Per- kins, Lucille Howard, Olive Linton, Marion Lathrop, Grace Stetson, Mil- dred Tilden, Grace Mitchell, Marjory Phillips, Louise Jacobs, Brenda House, May Evans, Geraldine Oat, Dorothy Tourtellotte and Althea Church. Coffee was poured by tha Messrs. George Amburn, William Douglas, Earl Stamm, _Frank _ Cunningham and Charles Willey. Mrs. F. O. Cunning- ham, president of the society, charge of the supper and was an able commander. The society’s officers, Mrs. Minnie Amburn, Mrs. John B. Oat, Mrs. Will J. Koonz and Mrs. Herbert Willey, assisted in the care of the food. Shere was a free will oering for the supper, it being put in small bags and collected by Miss Ruth Phillips as Miss Liberty STATE TREASURER LIPPITT HAS BEEN SUED.

Plans and specifications for a sys- tem of cisterns to collect rain water from the various building at Fort H. G. Wright, for drinking purposes, and for a coal pocket, with the necessary apparatus for delivering coal from | wharf to the power plant, are being prepared at the office of the construct- ing quartermaster in thee New Lon- | don artillery district, in New London. It is estimated that the construction of the cisterns and coal pocket will {mean a further expenditure for im- provements in the New London artil- lery district of approximately $65,000. The cost of the construction of the cisterns will approximate ‘about $50,- 000, and the coal pocket $15,000. At Fort Wright there will be 41 cisterns, ranging in capacity from 2,500 to 15,000 gallons. There will be three cisterns with a capacity of 2,500 gallons; nine with a capacity of 4,700 gallons; 14 having a capacity of 6,800 gallons; 11 having a capacity of 12, 000, and four with a capacity of 15, 000 gallons. The cisterns will be of reenforced concrete and each will have a filter and pump. The construc- tion will include laying down spouts |and water connections. The installing of the system of cis- terns is a supplement to the present water supply at the reservation and is necessary because the Water now ob- taimable there is brackish. The water {supply at present is obtained by means of six tubular wells the equip- ment consisting of two pumping sta- | tions " containing centrifugally driven pumps and motors which pump the water from the wells to a reenforced | concréte reservolr of 200,000 gallons capactity. This system was installed at a large expense, being completed only severa] weeks ago. The proposed new coal pocket will bave a capacity of 2,000 tons and is to_he erected for the power plant and post_supply at Fort Terry. It will be |located near the new inland bharbor {and will include apparatus for unicad- ing and delivering coal from the | wharf to the plant. The apparatus will consist of a small wharf, indus- itrial car and tramway. THREE DECISIONS GIVEN BY JUDGE WALLER. Norwich Firm Gets Judgment Against Stonington Man. Jeremiah D.

This process of “wrinkle removing” is wrong in prin- ciple. Both the hot water and the massaging tend to expand and loosen the skin, besides softening the muscu- Jar_foundation. The very opposite result should be almed _at. The tissue should ba strengthened, the skin tightened, so there'll be no room for wrinkles.

A TRIBUTE To the Memory of Dr. Patrick H, Har- riman. |, A Friend sends the following tribute | to_The Bulletin: | Ruskin says “It is a good and safe |rule to sojourn in many places as if fne\'nr omitting an opportunity of doing |a kindness or. speaking a true word {or_making a friend.” How true a disciple was Dr, Harri- man to Ruskin's - teaching. Tr* our | moments of anguish and distress ev- | ery human eye turns towards friend- ship. Charles Kingsley, the author, when asked the secret of his life, replied, |had a friend.” How priceless was the friendship of ‘l)\fl one we mourn today., One whose | bark never foundered on’ the rocks of | deception and one whose lamp was ever filled with the oil of truth and | fidelity.

The Doctor. “Whe, when the mereury is low, long, weary miles must often go - Through cutting winds and blinding snow ? 2 The Doctor.” His wue the line of practice which tells on the human frame, and it has {You meant to spend vour life there, | librarian; Case Memorial Library, the | €n devotions Wednesday evening there | Rov.
