The fire department was called out shortly after midnight this morning for a fire in the large frame bulilding owned by Joseph Rymsza and located at the corner of Golden and North Main street. The structure is of two stories and a half above the basement on the North Main street side, where the barber shop and pool room of Sat- tirios Nicaroos Is located. The fire was discovered by a resident of that section at 12.15 and an alarm was sent in_from box 226. The department made a quick re-; sponse, but had a hard fight for a half | hour fo subdue the mes, which started in the basement in the rear of the pool room and spread to the roof. The fire was entirely confined to the center of the house, makin git difficult | to reach, and the interior of the build- ing was badly burned. although from | the exterior no signs of damage are visible. The lower floor is occupied by the ow and family and on the upper floor i= a Greek boarding house con- ducted by Peter Lenos. Nine men | asleep on this floor awoke to find the | flames about them, but with two ex- ceptions escaped down the stairway uninjured. Two of the men, George | Romelyctis and Pater Sarelis, jumped | from the window in their night clothea intoe the vard on the Golden street side | of the house. Both were considerably | bruised. Romelyctis suffering the more from the dron. One arm was badlv bruised, his right foot cut and his head cut and bruised. Dr. N, B. Lewis was summoned and atten the injured men The fire appeared to have originated in the cellar in the rear of the pool reom and it iz believed was caused by a match dropped there earlier in the evening by some men wha were in the cellar looking for a leak in a water | plpe. The barber shop and pool room was badly damaged by fire and water and both upper flcors suffered considerable damage. The loss, which will amount to several hundred dollars, is covered | by insurance. ROW AT OCCUM.

Animated by the same stalwart spirit that sent them forth to the front, the gray-haired remnant of the boys of '61 did honor on Friday in their annual Memorial day parade and exercises to the herolc deed with whom they once stood shoulder to shoulder to save the union. Under the auspices of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. . v.th the assistance of their auxil- .y organizations, the Memorial day Jivgramme was carried out with com Z.eieness in every detail from the time the parade started from the Bucking- ham Memorial at 2.2 o'clock. Around the starting point and all along the line of march the streets were lined with crowds of spectators, and at the Chelsea parade, where ths exercises were held at the stand in front of the Soldiers’ monument, a crowd of several thousand were on hand. Marshal L. O. Smith, mounted on & magnificent horse ‘which proudly showed its paces, gave the word to start and the column moved in the following order: Police Platoon,~Capt. D. J. Twomey. Marshal L.

The line of march was along Main street to Washington street and up that street to the Chelsea parade. Passing the home of Col. Leonard B. Almy on Washington street, the line saluted the colomel, who sat in his wheeled chair on the porch, wearing his uniform. At the Chelsea parade the guests of honor were seated in the flag-decorat- ed stand while the post and military companies took places on the-seats in front and on the grass. All the com- panies in the parade formed and pre- sented arms while the Grand Army men marched up through the aisto they made. Exercises at the Parade. For the formal exercises Comrade J. Herbert George called the assemblage to attention with his bugle, and Com- mander Price made his brief opening address as follows: To His Honor the Mayor of the city of Norwich, the common council and other officers of the cily government, as commander of Sedgwick post, I welcome you in behalf of my comrades to this public service: also you, the members of the Coast artillery, and Spanish War Veterans, who have of- ferea your services as escort and the Sons of Veterans and our noble cit- ens’ corps. Our duty today is of impressive significance. You have all met here todav to honor our noble dead who freely gave their lives for their country and to deepen our rev- erence for their worth. There are in- scribed upon this monument the names of those with whom we stood, shoul- der to shoulder, on the bloody battle- field, sharing with them in the dan- gers of warfare in protecting our dear oldg flag. To us this is the memorial day of stalwart bravery, of patriotic heroism, of national faith. It is the freedom day of a race emancipated from bondage and of a nation redeem- ed from iniquity. It is dear to every soldfer. It deepens in our hearis a memory of our brave and our heloved, the grand army of the immortals, and that memory makes precious to us the badge of the Grand Army of the Republic which we wear on our breasts. We have also met here to strengthen among ourselves the bond of frater- nity by recalling the memory of ex- periences common to us all, to encour- age a more generous charity for our comrades who are sick or in distress and for the destitute wards of the Grand Army: to renew our pledge of lovalty fo our country and onr flag, the minds and unite with us and to emphasize in hearts of all who may the privilege and duty of patriotism. May our soldlerly deportment ba such that we may worthily honor the graves we decorate, the memories we cherish, the flag we salute and the Grang Army, to which we belong: and may we join so reverently in these ex- ercises that what we call Memorial ! dav may be to our dead their day of coronation. After a memorial hymn, TLead Gently, beautifully rendered by band, Post Chaplain Solon A. Moxley made the praver, and Adjutant George Kampf read the general orders of the day and also the following list of post members deceased since a vear ago: James N. Clark, 26th Conn.

MEMORIAL—DAV ORATION. Eloquent Words of Rev. George H. Strouse Heard With Deep Apprecia- tion by the Veterans. The Memorial day oration at the Chelsea parade was given as follows by Rev. George H. Strouse and was listened to with deep appreclation by the G. R. men and the big crowd within the sound of his voice: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle- men: I am not slow to appreciate the honor you have conferred on me today for I had been in Norwich scarcely a week when invited to make the ad- dress on this occasion. 1 thank you for this honor and assure you my pre: ence here at this time is an expression of my intense interest in this day which means so much to you. And then I'm inspired as I stand here because this state played her part so well in that sere conflict. ~May 1 mention two of your heroes. General Nathaniel Lyon—a graduate of West Point who fell in a glorious charge while leading his forces to victory at August 9th, 1861, and who was one of the moblest patriots who ever died for his country. Also Rear Admiral Andrew Hull Foote, who in February 1862, compeiled the surrender of Fort Henry on the Tennessee river. Later he was wounded at the capture of Fort Donelson but was active as a na- val officer until the time of his death. And so this day has been most ftting- ly set apart to honor those who fought and bled and died that the “Land of the free and the home of the brave” might remain intace. Valor Never to be Forgoten. And I turn to you, men in blue, and tell you the nation owes you a -debt of gratitude which it will never be able to pay. And as this day rolls around year by year, we love to think of you; we delight to do you honor. I once saw in Trafalgar square, London a large statue of Havelock who play- ed such a glorious part in the rescue of the English garrison at Lackmour during the Sepoy rebellion in 185 An_appreciative nation has inscribed on that monument something like this: “Your valor and your noble deeds will never be forgotten by a grateful peo- ple”” And I turn to you and say that Memorial day observed annually and almost universally in our land is suf- ficient guarantee that your valor and your noble deeds will never be for- gotten by a grateful nation. In ancient times it was customary for nations to deify their heroes and worship at their shreins. With the advance of Christian civilization this idolation practice has happily passed away, But it is fitting at this time to trace the Divine hand which has been S0 conspicuous in our history to re- view the awful conflict in which so many fought and died. And while we thus review there comes to us a mighty incentive to follow on in the path of duty—self sacrifice and pa- triotism. The Hand of God. Tn February, 1861, on the eve of Mr. Lincoln’s departure for Washington, to take the office of President, there was given to him a flag of our country bearing upon its silken folds these words from the first chapter of Joshua fiftth and ninth verses: “There shall no man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so 1 will be with thee. I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” And my friends, I doubt if there was a single hour in Mr. Lincoln's life from the time that REV. G. H. STROUSE contest started until it closed when the great president was not conscious that Joshua’s God was on his side and would ultimately give him the victo Whatever we may say of war, and it has been fittingly described as hell, it has not only given us some of the most beautiful examples of heroism and gelf-sacrifice on the pages of his- tory but the peaca and prosperity we enfoy are the fruits of hard fought contests on the battlefield. Some One Has Paid the Price. And so today we ponder, Memorial dsy reminds us of what we already i know, but which there is such a ten- dency to forget. That nothing worth while comes to us but what some one | has paid the price for it. Others have |tolled and suffered and we are en- | joying the fruits of their labors. Dur- {ing the month of June many a young man and woman will get their college | diploma because somewhere away from the public eye a mother or a father has been toiling and paying the | price. Bacon was a toiler and poured {a flood of light upon the fields of phil- osophy. The fall of an apple had been witnessed for many centuries but it was left to the mathemtical mind and a toiling Newton te discover in it the laws that govern the universe. Hero of the Dark Continent. In 1840 a young hero entered the Durk Continent. Up until that time with the bordering Africu wus uimost & blank | exception of the countries {on the Mediterrancan sea | Livingstone threw himself into that | unknown land, foiled, suffered |died. His great purpose was Lo abol- |ish slavery and open up a highway for | the messengers of the cross. When {1 steod in Wesminster Abbey near the marble slab that marks the mains of Livingstene, 1 was forced bel tha there v the ma on the biggest and greatest men Eng- land ever delighted to henor. And the world is shewering honor today upe 1 s of the battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri, | and | on the mi the scientist. Ready at the Crisis. Ours is a glorious heritage but oth- ers have paid the price. When more !than a half century ago the call came from the Great President of the United | States to shoulder arms, you respond- led. Husbands, fathers and sons- | mothers and sweethearts were left be- hind. But all were willing to pay the price. And.what mathematiclan can estimate the tremendous price that was paid. We have entered into a glorious heritage. Memorial day re- !minds us that a price was paid for | what we today enjoy. This day brings us face to face with not only an event but the crisis in American history. Less than a century before our fath- ers died to give us this glorious heri- tage: “The land of the free and the home of the brave.” Now comes the crisis and for just a brief moment, it looked as though as a nation, we might be cut in twain. Joshua's God and our God was on the side of right and crowned the Union forces with | victory. This day brings to our hearts mingled joys and sorrows. How many in the bloom of youth, hopeful and courageous started out to fight for the land they loved! How many were {hoping and planning to see the dear |ones again and recount their stories | of suffering and hardship, but, alas, | they fell with their faces toward the foe. History tells us of a young sol- ionary, the “explorer and dler scarcely a month away from his ipeaceful home asking in a tense whisper and with white, quivering lips: Do you think there is going to {be a battle? He had hardly spoken when from behind a wooded crest |there came a sheet of flame that | brought death to hundreds. The young jhero had an older brother who left | { his position in the line for a moment | | to find his brother John whom he loved | {as he loved his own life. In a little | { time the older brother found John and |laying his hand on the young here's | shoulder said: “Be a man John.” The {tide of battle ebbed and flowed that |day and when the moon’s pale beams {shone on the battle fleld that night | {John lay cold in death, but his feet {in_the front ranks and facing the foe. | We cover their graves today with earth's choicest flowers. We glory in | their lives of heroism and patriotism. | The Miracle of a Century. The Civil war and attendant cir- cumstances have given to the world the greatest miracle of a century, if { not ‘a milennium. Ged has made few men greater than Abraham Lincoln. 1 saw a picture of Lincoln some time ago in Philadelphia and underneath were inscribed Lincoln's own werds: “I work and wait and pray and pos- sibly my time shall come.” Hit Slavery Hard. During those years of working and waiting and praying he seid: “If 1| | ever get a chance fo hit slavery, I'll hit bard And who will deny that Lincoin's time did come. And when The Uncas National Bank offers every accommodation, consistent with safety and conservative banking meth- ods. Your investigation and business is solicited. DIRECTORS A. D, LATHROP W. H.

Ged in History. One of the greatest dynamics in this world is the consciousness of God's presence in all the affairs of history My philosophy is not God in the heav- eng and evervthing is right on earth, but rather, God is in the heavens and everything is golng to be right. We can therefore be optimistic wheth- er we wage war against visible or in- visible armies. The unseen God rules the universe. Napoleon was wrong when he said: Goq is on the side of the heaviest battalions. Fe surely dis- covered his mistake when he retreat- ed from Russia with half of his arm frozen to death, driven out not by an army of men but by the snow flakes which fell thick and fast. God is every- where and all the time on the side of right. The two weapons of his war- fare are truth and righteousness. With these God is going to batter down every obstacle that stands in the way of_the onward march of His kingdom. Wellington said at Waterloo: “Gen- tlemen this is hard pounding but we will see who can pound the longest.” Napoleon met his Waterloo that day because Wellington pounded the long- est and hardest. God has been pound- ing away through the centuries and will not cease until every great wrong has been crushed beneath His feet. It may seem to us sometimes God is slow in coming, but He is never late and when the dial on the clock of heaven signifies that the hour is ripe, then God marches with majestic tread to_certain _victos We need the spirit of the drummer boy who, when commanded to beat a retreat, replied: “Sire, I know not how. Desaix never taught me that. Rut T can beat a charge that will make the dead fall into line T beat that Lodi charge at T beat it at the Lyra- mids: T beat it at Mt. Tabor. May T beat it here?” His request was grant- ed. The charge was beaten. The army marched on to victory The Foundations of a Reoublic. More than four centuries ago He who guides the stars guided Colum- bus over three thousand miles of sea. It was no mistake. The time was ripe to lay the foundation of this repuh- lic.
