B Told Norwich D. A. R. Of Monticello Mrs. B. P. Learned’s Interesting Paper on Home It Took Jef- ferson Thirty Years to Build—Report Made That the Guida is. Selling Well—Musical Programme Concluded Afternoon. The regular December meeting of taith Truhbull chapter, D. A. R, was held on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. William H. Allen in Hunting- won place and was a most enjoyable one. 'Mhe regent, Mrs. Will L. Stearns, presiged and the meeting opened with i the singing of America, led by Mrs. | Allen. | As the daughters are interested in the present movement to have the na- tional government acquire Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson ,in order | to make it agcessible to the whole people, Mrs, Bela P. Learned gave a most interesting story of this his- toric mansion. She spoke of its com- manding location and of the thirty vears requyred to build it, as every smallest pa¥t was done by hand by Jefferson and his slaves. Finally he | was forced to sell it on account of debts. Later some public spirited people * raised money for its pug- chase, but Captain Uriah Levy hear of it and managed to buy it ahead of them. . At his death he tried to re- pair the wrong by willlng it to the government. His heirs broke the will and defied the government when it atempted to replace Jefferson’s defac- ed monument. Mrs. B. P. Bishop spoke of the lecture on Connecticut War Gov- ernors at the Buckingham memorial on | December 20th to which the members | of the chapter are invited and Mrs. E. B. Davis reported great success in her work with the Guida, Mrs. Charles H, Gallup had charge of the special programme for the aft- ernoon, which was entirely musical A delightful combination of vocal and instrumental selections made up a most enjoyable programme of ten num- | bers, besides the several encors. The first selection was the Kaiser Freid- rich. March by the German Cavalry band given on the Victrola by Mrs. Allen, A song by Miss Gertrude M.; Young, In the Merry May Time, by-| Bdward German, was given in fine voice and followed by John's I Can- not Help Loving Thee. A violin solo, Romanze, by Svendson, was given by Miss Helen B. Royce and on being encored she gave a Serenade by Victor | Herbert. Mrs. Allen gave another | Victrola selection. Italian Street Song from Herbert's “Naughty Marietta” as sung by Lucy Marsh, and Miss Olive Hunt gave a charming piano solo, | Etude Op. 10, No. 3, from Chopin. Her | encore number, also skilfully played,' was a Prelude by the same composer. | Mrs. Bela P. Learned gave much pleas- | ure by singing Loyalty ,a chorus used a great deal by the daughters in the District of Columbia, which she gave without piano accompainment to show better the sentiment of the song. An- other violin solo, Morris Dance, by Edward German, was skilfully given by Miss Royce and followed by The Shepherd Dance, from the same “Henry VIII” composition. The séng | by Miss Young with violin obligato by Miss Royce, Goddard’s Lullaby, from “Jocelyn” was beautifully ren- ! dered. Miss Young's encore number was Nevin's Mighty Lak a Rose. Miss Hunt again favored with the pi- ano selection, De Bussey’'s Hu Bateau, and gave as encore McDowell's Bier Rabbit, The closing piece by Mrs. Al- len on the Victrola was the Sextette from' “Lucia.” The piano accompa- niments througout were skilfully play- ed by Frank Coxeter. After the .meet- ing refreshments were served by Mrs. mittee and a social hour concluded the afternoon. EAST LYME COUPLE | FIFTY YEARS MARRIED | Capt. and Mrs. William L.

Hussey may have fallen from a train ‘near the Thames river bridge, where ‘he was found a few hours be- fore his death on Dec. 1. The coroner has ascertained . that Hussey visited friends in New York on Saturday, the day before he came here. .He left theni, saying he was going back to East Providence, his home. He did not {ntend at that time to visit New London. The coroner thinks that it is possible Hussey feeling sick at- tempted to leave the traln when it slowed up at the Thames river bridge and was hurt ..On Democratio Steering Committee.

WHALERS NO LONGER. Fourteen of the Crew of Brig Sullivan Reach Port After Disagreement With Captain. Fourteen members of the crew of the | whaling brig Sullivan, who left the vessel at St. Vincent, Cape de Verde' Islands, arrived in Boston Monday in the steerage of the Cunard liner Sax- onia. - Most of them were young fel- laws ranging from 21 to 25 years, and the whaling trip, their first, was also! their last.

According to the fourteen the Sullivan left New Bedford or June 9. Seventeen whales netted 650 barrels of oil. The brig reached St. Vincent on Oct. 18. An appeal was made to the American consul there and it was ar- ranged that the men should be allowed to leave the Sullivan and have their passage home. One of the men who quit the vessel remained in a hospital at St. Vincent. The sailors got pas- sage on the steamer Orisso, which landed them in Liverpool, wheree they transhipped to the Saxonia. Although discharged the men claim that they were not paid, and they hope to be able to collect at New Bedford. After | they were allowed to leave the vessel | Captain Haggerty succeeded in signing a crew of negroes, and the Sullivan re- sumed her search for whales off the west coast of Africa. The late Dr. G. R. Harris of this city was at one time part owner of the brig Sullivan. REALTY AND BUSINESS.
