Frank Tyler died in his home on the New London turnpike at East Great Plain about 9.30 o'clock Thursday morning, after an illness with pneumo- nia since Saturday. He was the son of Frederick William Tyler and Elizabeth Campbell, and was born in Griswold on May f7th, 1856. When he was four vears of age his parents located at East Great Plain, and since then he had made his home there. He conducted a farm during his residence in Nor- vich and for more than 25 years he conducted a milk route. Mr. Tyler was united in marriage with Miss Emma Beebe, and she sur- vives her husband, with one daughter, Mrs. Emerson P. Turner of this city. A half-brother, Fred Tyler of Warren street, and a half-sister, Mrs. Irving N. Gifford of Laurel Hill, also survive. Mr. Tyler was a loyal husband and father and was devoted to his family. His life was an exemplary one, and he had a wide circle of admiring friends who will always remember him with kindly thoughts. He was a loyal and devoted husband, father and friend. He essed a genial and attractive dis- i and by his death is removed one of the old residents of that sec- tion of the town, whose passing means a distnet loss to the community. E. A. Anketell.

Funeral services for Mrs. Edward A. Huntington were held at.her late home on Washington street at three o'clock Thursday afternoon, relatives and friends from this vicinity and the city being present. Her pastor, Rev. G. H. Ewing, read selections of Scrip- ture and offered prayer. Rev. C. A. Northrop, also her pastor for many vears, paid a beautiful tribute to her long life among us. It is a.grand thing to have something back of us in life, he said. It is not often we gather to say goodbye to one who has lived al- most a century. When she was born our people were just beginning to look beyond New England and thus her life has been identified with the ma- terial and spiritual onmoving of our country. Although behind were rich exper- jences of tire past, yet she took inter- est in, and kept in touch with, the life of today—in the wide, wide world were her interests. God has given her long life, vears of great spiritual ingather- ing and profit. An interest in Chris- tianity kept her very much alive and made this Jife o delightful to her and her memory so dear to her chil- dren and grandchildren. Blessed in- a life of achievement, a beautiful life, gathering up and carrving its exper- fences into the life beyond. Choice flow included sprays of lilies, clusters of carnations, wreaths of roses and galaxia.

By Defeating Harwood While Ba Was.Trimming Pierson. Y Two games were played Thursday night in the handicap tourney at the Arcanum _club, which shifted the standing of the leaders. Bailey who is tn the 80 class defeated scratch man Pierson who had been leading the tourney and relegated him to a tie with Jordan and Bailey for second place. While this was happening, Friswell, who is in the $5 class took a game from scratch man Harwood and thereby took the lead in the tourna- ment. In the Friswell vs. Harwood game the score was 85 for Friswell to 87 for Harwood. Bailey won with 80 to Pierson’s 8%. A third zame was that in which Haviland defeated Honey- man 90 to 67. / The following is the standing for Won Lost Friswell i Pierson Jordan Bailey ot o THIRD COMPANY INSPECTION.

A bill of quality is offered by the Auditorium for the last three daye of the week, including three musical vaudeville numbers and entertaining variety of motion plctures. Henry and Wood offer a pleasing programme of violin and vocal selections of ex- cellent quallty and their number makes a decided hit. Colonel Sam Holdsworth is something of a novelty in himself, for it is seldom that one sees a man of S1 years with the tenor voice of a boy of 20. He renders several old favorites in a highly pleasing manner. The third number is offered by Cafferty and Kamph who have an entertaining singing and dancing specialty. ¥ As an additional attraction Colonial Jack has been appearing at the Audi- forium giving a_brief account of his walk around the borders of - the United States, starting and finishing at Portland, Me. A number of photo- graphs taken by Jack on his trip are thrown on the screen and are explain- ed by the pedestrian who proposes next to walk from New York to Seat- tle in 100 days.

AT THE DAVIS, Vaudeville and Phote Plays. Headliners in the vaudeville acts at the Davis theater for the end of the | week are thc four members of the Glendale troupe, in a marvellous casting act in which two members of the troupe hanging head downward from their special fixtures toss the other two back and forward between them with wonderful accuracy but apparent recklessness, gripping them by hands or feet whichever comes ubpermost at the time. Their sterling work is generously applauded. Ted #nd Clara Steel furnish the fun for the bill and are on hand strong with the comedy work and song and duologue along burlesque lines.. John Post, known as the silver tenmor, fits in nicely, to another pleasing touch to the bill, which is built along the standard Davis lines. In the photo plays, there the timely three reel feature. The Star of Bethlehem, which is one of the high class one put out by this com- pany and is an apropriate offering for the Lenten season. From the Endowment Committee. The following word from the endow- ment committee is appended to the programme. In_September, 1907, a committee of five was appointed {o obtain an en- dowment, the income to be used for defraying the expenses of the society | in maintaining its then newly acquired | home—the Shaw mansion. This com- | mittee, on account of other important | public projects, was not successful in | obtaining the fund immediately, but has met, from time to time, and made up the vearly deficit by personal con- tributions. The present seems to be an opportune time to raise the first half of the desired fifty thousand dollars and the urgency of the situation re- quires it. Pledges amounting to ten thousand dollars have been made by four people, on the condition that at least twenty-five thousand dollars be raised. While other large contribu- tions are desired and earnestly soli ed, yet a large number of small gifts | wiil” be equally acceptable. Insulted Girls in Greenevilie. Henry Sharkey of Hanover is serv- Iing a term of 30 days and costs of $10.18 in the jail ‘here, having received when he was presented on the charge of vilely insulting - three girls in | Greeneville. Tt was shown in the evi- dence that he followed them fnto the ‘hail of their hoarding place after they had alighteg from a car in which he was also riding. FHe grabbed one of the giris in the hall and made insulting proposals to her, to which she testified in court, and when she had broken away from him and succeeded in get- ting upstairs he shouted insulting epi- thets after her.

The burning of the “old Grinding mill” at Bozrahville on Monday night bestirs recollections of many old res- idents of this city as well as of that section says the New London Day. The -n'-u a part of an industry, which ‘enjoyed a nation wide reputi- tion, the Hayward Rubber Co., which nad its main factory at ColChester. The mill - furnished empioyment for scores of men and with the 'cotton mill at Bozrahville made that town a settlement of several thousand persons. while today hardly 100 people live within a rgdiuc of two miles of the ruins of either mill. Mule Drawn “Schooners.” The Colchester turnpike from Nor- wich to Colchester was traversed in those times by the “Colchester schoon- ers.”” These were the big mule-drawn wagons which freiglited raw material and finished products between the big prosperous rubber town and Norwich. Factory Site For Over 100 Years. The site of the Grinding mill has been a factory site for over a cen- tury. Old New London hewspapers of 1807 advertised the FPolly factory. which was located on it, for sale. In the 40s the Gillettes, still a prosperous family in that section, operated a grist mill. The water privilege is one the finest in this section of the staic and for ordinary business purposes was calculated to provide power suffi- ciently cheap to be profitable despiie the long hauls for freight. The Hayward Rubber Co., adapted the mill site to its use previous to 1852. It built a big mill and install- ed machinery for grinding hard rub- ber fnto dust with paint and other ingredients so that it would be work- able at the Colchester factory. From that time until 24 or 25 years ago the long succession of Colchester schoon- ers were familiar sights along the turnpike. ’ “Massa” Bailey Into Prominence. Then “Massa” Bailey came into prominence. “Massa” - Balley _was William Bailey, who died near Yan- tic a few months ago. He was super- intendent of transportation for the Hayward company and was master of the negro teamsters, which drove the mule teams over the 20 odd miles of road, Boots and rubber shoes were loaded into the “schooners” at Colchester and | started for Norwich. The wagons | were of a distinctive type, eight fect high above the wheels and with ci- pacities equal almost to a freight cur ! Six and eight mules were required t | drag them,-according to the conditions lof the road. Hardly an hour of the day elapsed that the road side farmer's wife could not hear the crack of mule whips and the cheerful strains of the southern negro melody as the great wagons rolled past. Carted Rubber. Loads of goods were carted to Nor- wich to be transferred to cars. If night came with'a wagon near Boz- { rahville it was wheeled into the Bailey farm varq and the mules were quar- tered there on the place which Rep- resentative Sullivan now operar Next day the mule teams would start {for Norwich. Returning from Nor- wich the teams would bring rubbe and crude materials, unloading at the mill and reloading with “dust” for th rubber factory.
