It is a matter of regret that the Poligh choir and school children will not be heard separately. At first the choir was expected to sing one or two | hymns in Polish Christmas night and the children were to sing Adeste Fi-| deles in Latin Saturday afternoon, Or- ganist Leo M. Makowski directing both. | Because of lack of time, for rehearsals | their director deems it wisef for them to join in the general singing, but promises that “next year all will be ready to do their part.” Old English Carols. The men's chorus from the Bass- Clet and Academy Glee club, directed by Charles D. Geer, will contribute ! some old-time English carols sure to | prove inspiring. Some of the best!

Children to Rehearse Again. In all probability another rehearsal of all the girls and boys, big and lit- tle, from all the schools, will be held at the town hall Friday aftermoon, at an Hour to be decided upon. Those, children who rehearsed Saturday made | a fine chorus; but there was a misun- | derstanding about the character, of the rehearsal, some of the children had other duties for that afternoon, etc. As | it Will be vacation Friday, a big com- | these. | Dental authmifiu tell us that g5 out of every 100 per- sons }fzve “acid mouth,” the recognized cause of tood» : decay.

S Alls spoke in eloguent | terms, bringing them to this n.t—] close: At time of his death Mr. Briscoe ‘was recognized throughout the state a3 an able, conscientious and success- | fal hwyu He lowed the law nndl pride in honorable and honest pru:flas During the later years of | bis life, he Dbecame connected with | many important financial and indus- trial interests, and for his service in ! these directions, this community has | mued and will not soon forget | fts lasting obligation In his private life Mr. Briscoe was simple In his tastes, and | in manner unassuming almost diffi- dent. Of a somew'dat sensitive dispo- sition he was not of the type of the “hail fellow well jnet” He disliked ostentation and dctested sham. To his friends He was niost loyal and gen- erous. He loved his home and de- lghted to Share it attractions with those who knew himr best. In the death of Willis A. Briscoe, the profession which he loved and the community which he served suffered a profound loss. Surely the ranks of this bar have lately been sadly depideted. Some of the brightest and best have fallen. The loved and honored :fudge, the wise counsellor, the skilful. advocate, so prominent in the trial of many causes, the voung man at the very beginning of his professional career have all been taken from us. Their work here is ended. We remember their suc. cesses, we know some of the difficul- tles which they had to meet, perhaps some of their apparent failures. From all thefr experiences, as we know and | remeniber them, it is for us to gather an inspiration for more faithful and ; efficient service, Tribute from Lucius Brown. Judge Iucius Brown added his re- marks in Nonor of the memory of At- torney Briscoe: It is not necessary to speak herel of the inheritance or the early train- ing which so well fitted Mr. Briscoe for his work. Of unquestioned integ- rity, loyal to truth and honor, he eas- ily won the confidence of his fellow men. He was positive in his con- victions and perhaps, when some of | us who were younger first met him, he seemed somewhat impatient of views differing from his own. In hie later years, he became more tolerant of theopinions of others ard more con- | slderate of their circumstances. Few of the opinions of others and more con- to me, have shown more of that broad. ening influence which our profession ou‘ht to have, Briscoe was a clear thinker. His xeevn “and discriminating knowledge of the law, as well as of practical af- fairs rendered him a most valued coun- sellor. Mr. Halsey with his high standard | served, but most | to next Monday evening as the regular which followed, Mr, Briscoe was Mr. Halsey’s trusted and deserved support, | and when he was removed by death he was well equipped to assume the large and responsible practice of his associate. It was a difficult task, but he quietly, modestly and efficiently assumed the burden, and continued the work most falthfully and successfully until his own decease, ~ Willis A. Briscoe was a man of the strictest integrity, honorable beyond question. Whatever ‘he promised was always performed. He made the prac- tice of the law respected. He was re- companionable to those who knew him best. A fine lawyer, a generous and noble citizen, a devoted parent has peace- fully laid down his burdens and gone to his reward. We have suffered a great loss. John F. Coughlin. In the absence of Judge T. J. Kel- ly Edmund W. Perkins read the fol- lowing resolutions prepared by the judge and moved their adoption: John F. Coughlin, one of the young- er members of the New London Coun- | ty bar, dled Oct. 26, 1912. Mr. Cough- lin graduated from theé Norwich Free | Academy, studied law in the New York Law school, and was admitted to the bar on February 3, 1903. Mr. Coughlin was quiet and unas- suming, and although known intimate- ly to only a few of his fellow mem- berg of the bar, was universally liked and. respecfed because of his gentle manner, sincerity and truth. Sta:ung‘ at the beginning and without special advantages he had by conscientious and persistent effort attained success in his profession. Tn spite of physi- cal suffering during the last year or two of his life, and with a knowledge | that his chronic illness would eventu- ally end in death, he never complain- | ed, nor allowed it to swerve him from | immediately and conscientiously and persistently performing his profes- | sional obligations and duties. Resolved, That we place upon 0““‘1 records this testimonial of our esteem | i i for and tribute to our deceased brother and that the superior court {be requested to put this testimonial upon its records. Signed by T. J. Kelly, E_W. Per- kins, A. J. Bafley, Nathan Belchér and | Daniel M, Cronin. . S, Thresher sald he know Mr. Coughlin well and commended him briefly and sald that as the profession | of the law is the greatest profession the fact that a young man belonged to it was the Dest thing that could be sald of a man. The resolution were accepted. Then Judge Shumway ordered the court adjourned until Tuesday. The memorial meeting. lasted an hour. Postponed Social. The Jolly Bunch club of the Y. M. ! C.

BUSY WEEK FOR SALVATION ARMY CAPTAIN. | Plenty of Opportunity for~ Aiding in Serving Worthy Families Still Exist, However. This is a buay week, probably the busiest of the vear, for Capt. E. W. ‘Wilbur of the Salvation Army and his corps of assistants. They are all at work perfecting their plans to provide the needy poor of the city with Christ- | mas cheer in the form of neatly packed | haskets of provisions for their Christ- | mas dinners. Captain Wilbur has al- ready the names of between 300 and 400 on his list who will receive one of these baskets, and as all the names are not yet in it is probable that the number may reach the half thousand ! mark. These names reach ‘the busy captain in various ways. Some are turned in by physiclans who are called to homes to attend the sick in famlilies, many of whom are destitute. Often- times a name finds its way into the army’s hands through some thought- ful insurance collector who in his rounds comes across a family in needy circumstances from time to time, and there are various other ways in which the captain becomes acquainted with the city’s poor. All these reported cases are carefully examined and in- vestigated by the army workers and the names of all the deserving poor are listed down in the captain’s book to be remembered with Christmas dinners. | In the baskets, which will undoubt- | edly bring joy and thanksgiving to the doors of many, there will be a chicken, potatoes, turnips, butter, tea or coffee, evaporated milk, sugar, bread, and mince pie. The baskets are to be packed at the army’s hall and the greater number of them will be deliv- ered at the doors of the families. Last year there was a good deal of con- | fusion in the distributing of the bas- kets, as those who were to recelve them had to go to the buiiding in which they were packed. The new plan will eliminate this confusion and will prevent anyone from being over- looked. Mrs. E. W. Wilbur, wife of Captain Wilbur, will have charge of the packing of the baskets. To carry on this worthy work con- tributions of money or provisions are necessary. The two pots that have been provided to receive voluntary con- tributions from the passing public are reported as doing well, especizlly the pot located on Franklin square. How- ever, there is still need of more con- tributions in this line and the nickel or dime of the passerby will be gratefully acknowledged by Captain Wilbur. Those who do not wish to contribute money to the cause may do just as much good by donating provisions, as chickens, sugar, butter, tea or coffee are in demand. One generous business man of Norwich contributed 10 bushels of potatoes towards the dinners last week. Those who wish to make con- tributions of any kind may communi- | c‘a'e with Capt. E. W. Wilbur, 61 Otls street. EVERETT J. LAKE. | —— | Much Sentiment in His Favor for New | Republican Candidate for Governor. That the republicans of Connecticut | verett J. T.ake as the would have been regarded not so many months ago as on e par with the util- ity of bringing sunshine by wishing or of raising the wind by whistling for it, and there are some evidences lacking now that such a possibility is to be re- alized. But ft is a fact that in the short time which has intervened since Mr. Lake returned from an extensive trip abroad, and during which he;has ! been hammering away at business with ! no politics on the side, there has been | a noteworthy expression of sentiment in favor of him as the republican nom- | inee for governor. This expression has | not been confined to any coterie of | politicians or to any geographical or | political sub-division of the state, but has come from nearly all parts of Con- | necticut where the subject of the com- ing campaisn has been broached. | ‘Were the republican party of Con- | necticut in the asfendeney today as it | was ten or even fewer yvears ago, the mere mention of Mr. Lake’s name in | connection with the governorship would | provoke powerful opposition, political | and otherwise. Were the repblicans possessed of even the theoretical mar- gin of safety in control which they had in 1901 his candidacy would stir inhos- pitable elements to the same adroitly antagonistic activity that it aid then. | | The lesson learned in 1910 of the folly | of thwarting the pepular choice would | o unheeded now were the republicans | confident of electing any strong and | popular man governer.—New Yeork | Sunday Herald. | Te aid readers on the topic of para- | mount interest, the Otis library has prepare¢ a_list of books on Panama | and the canal; -alse magazine uniules‘ of 1913.
