CASE. Retiring Deputy Revenue Collector Re- membered by His Associates in Hart- ford. Capt. George R. Case at Hartford on Saturday retired as deputy collector of internal revemue after service of 48 years in the department. The associates of Captain Case, who is a native of this city and brother of Letter Carrier Herman 8. Case, ex- pressed their esteem and appreciation of his many kindly acts by presentin to him a handsome leather cove.rea chair with foot rest and cigar stand and a couple of boxes of cholee cigars. At the close of business at noon the employes in the internal révenue office gathered in the office of Robert O. Eaton, internal ravenue collector, and Captain Case was asked to meet them. Mr. Eaton acted as spokesman for the gothering and expressed his indebled- ness to Captain Case, who had been as a father to Him since he entereéd the office, and had been loyal and faithful in service and insfrumental in keeping the office on the high plane of service which it had always occupied. Captain Case in responding ex- pressed his thanks and took oceasion to say that he was leaving the office voluntarily and not because he had been asked to. He sald hiy vote and his religlon were his own affairs and he acted in politics as he saw fit with. out fear or favor. He spoke of the improvement which has come to the service by the civil service rules under which deputy clerks were not dis- missed with each change of adminis- tration. He said the success of the office was owing largely to the efficiency of those clerks and deputies. He thanked all his assoclates for their loyalty to him and for the handsome reminder of his association with them. Other attaches of the office and for- mer Deputy Collector Willlam B. Bprague of Tolland county and Spe- clal Deputy Mr. Howard and the new deputy, Theodore M. Byxbee, all ex- pressed their kindly feelings for Cap- tain Case. CHIPPENDALE WILL ASK TO BE PARDONED.

FINE MUSICAL PROGRAMME BY PARK CHURCH CHOIR Vespers Sunday Had Larze Congre- gation for Special Praise Service. There was a fine audience at Park church on Sunday afternoon for the vesper service, which was a special praise service. These special musical servi on the first Sunday of the month are increasing in interest and the program arranged by Choir Di- rector Eben Learned for this one was a rare musical treat. The splendidly varied and balanced numbers made an _harmonious and impressive whole and were given with the perfection ang finish which comes only from trained musicians under skillful lead- ership. The first anthem was the graceful and harmonious one by Gou- nod, Lovely Appear on the Mountains, from The Redemption, for soprano solo and quartette. The solo part was well rendered by Mrs. A. E. Story. Teach Us, O Lord, by Chadwick, was an- other beautiful selection by the choir. Miss Helen Royce, violin, Eben Lear- ned 'cello, and Miss Annie Tafft or- gan, gave the Andante from The Third Trio by Fesca, the beauty of tone of the three instruments giving added charm to this very old composition. The last anthem was the unaccom- panied quartette, Only Waiting, by Berwald, sung with much harmony and expression. MADE A POCKETBOOK OF HIS SHOES.

He hid the money in his shoes and kept a lit! change. When he went out to breakfast he met some men who treat- ed him, and that is the last he re- membered until he woke in the lodging house Friday night, minus his shoes and money. He was unable to tell where the lodging house was located. i Brakeman Hurt Jumping from Freight William Morris of New London, brakeman for the Central Vermont Railway company, had a narrow es- cape from death Friday afternoon at Lebanon.

Judge Nelson J. Ayling. One hundred and twenty-five Elks| gathered at the home of Norwich lodge, No. 430, on Main street, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon to take part in the annual memorial service of re- spect for the deceased members of the lodge. During the past year four members have been taken from the lodge by death, Fred Dearing, Dr. P. H. Harriman, Charles A. Kuebler, Clarence D. Sevim, A. R. Corey and The programme opened Wwith the overture Ermani, Verdi, by the Elks’ orchestra, and the opening ode, Great | Ruler of the Universe. Rev. Frederick W. Coleman, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church, offered prayer. Oh, Dry The ritual was carried out by the officers of the lodge and as the | name of each deceased member was | read a flower was dropped on the altar. Eulogy by Exalted Ruler Craney. The eulogy was by Exalted Ruler Thomas R. Craney, who spoke as fol- My Brothers: We are here assem- bled today to commemorate the mem- ory of those who have fallen In life’s battle, whom death has claimed for its own and now sleep that sleep which E. R. THOMAS R. CRANEY. knows no waking. During the past year Norwich lodge has lost some of its most valpahle members, among whom I might mention the name of Dr. P. H. Harriman, who if alive today would be taking a prominent part in our memorial services. Noble Elks have fallen, plerced by the arrow of death, their trials ended, their faults forgotten, thefr virtues cherished. We are taught to practice justice towards the living and to cherish the memory of the departed. The sentiments ex- pressed from each station in our lodge room show the fidelity of our motives. To practice charity is accompanied by the no less strict injunction that all charity must be dispensed secretly and without ostentatfon. No secret is more carefully guarded than the name of that brother who, overtaken by ad- versity or misfortune, may receive aid or relief. The relief of want, however, is not all there is to charity. Charity means helpfulness and sympathy. Our members are taught the charity of thought, word and deed. The warm hand of fellowship, the kindly spoken word glven when sorely needed are often more beneficial than dollars lav- ishly bestowed. Let us speak of a man ag we find him, no matter what others may say, let us give him the credit that is due him, as you'd have it day by day. The gospel of love was reached in many tongues and taught n varfous ways centuries before the coming of the Elks, but mankind awakened to its best and truest mean- {ng when forth from the lips of the Elk first came those words of his olden rule which will never die: “The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands, their virtues upon tablets of love and memory.” Then let us all try and live up to the grand prin- ciples of our order so that when we are called it can be truthfully said that we always practiced charity, jus- tice, brotherly love and fidelity. Memorial Address. Following another selection, Quar- tette from Rigoletto, by the orchestra, Past Exalted Ruler Nelson J. Ayling gave the address of the afternoon, speaking as follows: By the grace of our Father, the Great Ruler of the Universe, we have Dbaen spared to assemble in a lodge of sorrow today, as our brothers are do- ing trom Alaska to Panama, and from Maine to our far-flung flag in the Philippines, to pay respect to the memory of our departed brothers. It is meet and proper we should do so, | and set us'Ce this day, out of rever- ence to those who have gone before and as oihers will do after us. cannot be reminded too often that it {s only a question of time with us and that all must travel the same path, down into the valley of the shadow. The ledke of sorrow is a sentiment the same as our 11 o'clock toast for the benefit of the brothers in the flesh, for we can be of no further service to It {5 sen''ment that moulds opinion, shapes our conduct and the objects we | strive for, The Order of Elks best typifies the tendency of modern thought to recog- nize the essential unity of mankind. As first’created, man lived, fought and died alone. Then came combinations for defense and aggression, but only as the world grows old has come the knowledge to the sons of the earth that they are all one family, absolutely dependent on each other for happiness, and only with this knowledge has come the realiza- tion of the resultant duty of mutual helpfulness, of kindness. And out of this realization and to help us to discharge the duty so gensed has come this great organiza- tlon: an organization to make charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity of- fective, And all the shades of mean- ing attached t6 these several words are included in the living work of the true Elk and blended in the single word of The growth of this great sentiment and of this great order that so well exemplifies it marks the progress of humenity, eut from nature, to higher and better things, In natute there is ne change, She is the same todey as she was when she first smiled a sumset at the first broken heart above the first new made ave, But man, beeause of that in im which dees net esme frem nature, but frem God, ‘strikes dewn the im- pulses and the temdemeies that are natural aad en the “stepping stenes of his dead self reaches up to better things,” S 4 And late, late in the iife of eenluries he cemes to kindliness. For applied kindliness is new te the werid. The active cruelty of the savage was suc- ceeded the indifference te suffering marking later times, and it is enly in a past o recent as to well be recalied by the present that humanity's suffering has successfully appealed to humani- t¥'a heart We | | | It is this evolution that has given birth to the Order of Elks, A century ago they would have had no following, | but the worid grows better; men sense more and more their obligations to their fellows, and hence has come this medium through which those obliga- tions can be so well discharged. | To many men man’s theology seems to have crushed from God's religion too much of its vitality and power, but within our walls It is taught & creed as strofig and simple as the teaching of the Man of Galilee, the gospel of the Jericho road, to treat your neighbor as yourself. This is a man’'s world, and here among men can be found some- thing to satisfy the innate desire we all have for a precept that can guide us as we deal with men. The order not only strengthens our good impulse, but guides it. We not only tell what to do, but how, and do it. We not | only open the door to practical oppor- | tunity, but point the way to practical results. But we do more than this. While | man owes a duty to his feliows, he! owes, too, a duty to himself. As years go on we accumulate behind us an in- evitable background of sadness—the soberness of responsibilities, the fading of hopes, and the graves that more and more frequently furrow the years, all tend to obscure the sun if we let our- selves sit in the shadow. But we should never let ourselves forget that outside the sun is shining and that a thousand doors are open through which we can escape from the gloom to the brightness. There i8 music, art and literature waiting to make us forget (and happi- ness has been defined as the art of for- getting), and best of all there is the gift of human companionship. For no | matter how full in other ways, a life | without love and friendship is a \’cr}" dreary and lonely one. And right here lies the supreme | personal value of an organization such | as this. The exigencies of business and environment keep most of us apart and prevent the close contact that is | necessary if one man would under- stand another. We see our friend to- day, and then a month may pass with. out'another glimpse of him, so that to all intents and purposes we remain strangers yet—but a fraternal order furnishes a common experience and a common interest, and by thus broaden- ing the ground for meeting creates and strengthens the tie that binds. | But to my mind our order has even | a wider, more significant meaning than all this. We stand as a protest against the mere materialiem of today —our mission is not to make money, but to use and spend it when charity calls; not to preach to our members the duty of success at the cost of an- | other’s failure, but to teach them that justice to others may mean sacrifice of self; not to advance the belief that competition requires the surrender of sympathy, but to teach that brotherly love requires us to do to others as we | would they should do to us—a fidelity to_our neighbor as well as oursell. These ideals we place above the mere material things of life, and in doing this we perform an act of im- portance not only to the individual but to the state. Sentiment is the breath that makes of patriotism a living fact. It is sen- timent that painted the colors on our flag. Religion, liberty, love, hanniness and. everything worth living for is sentiment. By its help comes love to earth, and with its sisters. faith and charity, it leads along a path that does not find its ending in the grave. It is the reason we are here today. It makes life worth living and heaven worth praying for. And when we close againet it the windows of the soul we shut from out our lives a force for happiness and a power for good. And because we make life happier, because we make it better, we stand for the ideals that after all are the real and vital things of life, our order will grow until everywhere shall it be rec- ognized as one of the great forces making for the uplift of the world. ‘The orchestra rendered Evening Star, by Wagner, and then came the closing ode, Nearer, My God, to Thee.

THANKEGIVING WORK OF THE CITY MISSION. Acknowledgement Made for Money and Supplies Contributed for Dinners. The special Thanksgiving work o the City Mission is over. Nothing re- mains now but to distribute few vegetables left over from the ng of the baskets to those who from time to time most need them. Thanks, 140 families on Wednesday, delivered to 100 families at their homes, deliv- ered to 20 more familles at the dis- tributing room at 16 Water street on invitation sent by the mission, and ¢ 20 other families who came without invitation and were served with what remained. The mission never undertakes to supply all needy families in town and city with dinners of this kind. It has nefther the funds nor the neces knowledge to do that. The families whom it helps are those who are known to the mission through more or less contact with it during the year, The list varies from year to year, but | the average number of families helped | yearly (140-150) with the present resources.
