Young Women of Present Day Not Like Those a Decade or Two Age, Rev. T. A. Grumbly Declares. In announcing at St Patrick’s church Sunday that a retreat for the unmarried women of the parish would be given by a Dominican Father from ew York, beginning Thirsday and continuing three days, Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly criticised present day condi- tions. In former times, he said, mod- , diffidence, characterized the be- havior of young women and was their safegnard i many , Now, urder modern conditions, Tnamy YOung women appear to have forgotten how to blush and few think it necessary to take their mothers into their confidence. Many mothers, on the other hand, seem exiremely un- sophisticated when it is a question of their daughters’ behavior, permitting them latitude and privileges which fre- quently lead to regretiable results. He urged the young women of the parish to assisi at the exercises of the retreat, the serious devotions, Instruc- tions =1 meditations of which must Prove of great bemefit to all attending. At the high mass Sunday the offer- tory selection, Rosewig’s Ave Maria, ‘was sung with finish and expression by ‘Mrs. F. L. Farrell. Organist Farrell ‘was home from his vacation in Maine and played with renewed zest and vigor. During his absence Mr. Fon- taine acted as organist. Mite Box Opening. The annual party and mite box op- ening of thé Mothers Jewels and Home Guards of the Trinity M, E. church took place on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 6 oelock. The members wore their badges and among those present ‘were members of the W, H. M. S, The three Mothers Jeweis having the larg- | est amount in their mite boxes were made life members, Caugnt First Striped Bass, The first striped bass reported caught this season in the Thames riv- er was landed Friday by Joseph T. Brazill, nesr Gale’s Ferry. The fish weighed over four pounds. By a curi- ous coincidence Mr. Brazill eaught the first bass in the Thames last year, on May 22, NURSE TELLS WHAT TO DO FOR BED SORES Mrs, Geo. Fields, a Trained Nurse of Canton, N, Y., says: “ use Com- fort Powder for bed sores and all skin soreness with great success. It is a ‘skin healing wonder.’” The genu- ine bears the signature of E. 8. Sykes on the box, GAGER Funeral Director is “unset- ! the masterpiece of literature, Edward Everett was the orator of the day, and in a masterly, polished 'effort, two hours long, he rehearsed the causes of the war and the conditions then exist~ ing nporth and south. When Bverett had finished there was tremendous ap- plause, Then Lincoln came to the front and with a voice throbbing emotion he sald a few words. A ran through the crowd as he began in a shrill voice, but the titter soon gave place to intense attention, The listen- ers felt that here was a man with & ‘breaking heart saying something that must speak, something they must finished, and he looked at ome another. And the { Lineoln honestly thought he had led utterly, Walking up to Everett, he ex. tended lations. Everet! replied; “Ah, Mr. President, how glad- ly would I exchange all my hundred pages for yeur twenty lines.” Heal the Remaining Weunds, One item of our unfinished werk consists in healing the few remaining wounds. That ugly scar across our country that we used to call Mason’s and Dixon's line is now pretty well filied up, Alas, that that fearful trench had to be filled with the best blood of the nation north and seuth. But just as the blood of the martyrs be- came the seed of the church, so the blood of the soldiers becgme the seed of the republic. The trench is filled up and flowers are growing where thorns used to rankle, 1ivy tells us that an earthquake in Rome resulted in a piece of ground in and it was declared that the common- wealth could not be continued unless the most valuable thing in the state should be cast into the opemng. Metius Curtius, considering that arms and bravery are the most valuable things, dressed in full military uni- form and mounting a spirited horse dashed into the abyss. Valerius Maxi- mus is authority for the statement that the chasm immediately closed. The lesson is the same as though the story were fact. A mighty convulsion tore our nation apari The oracles were consulted. Back from the altars of liberty came this reply: This nation cannot be perpetuated unless richest treasure of the nation is cast into the chasm. Se.our boys were thrown in. And then came the result: Liberty and union—one and insepara- ble. Give Strength and Vitality. Bat the shock was terrible, and for some time after the conflict the nation was weak from loss of blood—sick | almost unto death. The words of the immorta: Linceln are especially in point just here. It is for us the liv- ing rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us. That task requires the giving of our strength and vitality in onder that the nation may continue to live. The transfer of blood from one per- son’s artery to another is now success- fully performed. So the veins of young and vigorous life are being tapped in order that they may pour into th veins of our mation's life the vital forces that are n for its con- tinued prosperity. enough that great six and a half ! billions in money and a million lives north and south and other sacrifices which no man can name. All this did its work, but we are still face to face with our unfinished business. I have tried to emphasize the first! { item of that business, to heal sectional animosities. The next thing is to give ourselves to the glorious work of citi- It is mot honor our dead so successfully as in this. It is good once a year, yes, of- thronging cares of our -present day concerns and meditate on our legacy and give thanks for them who bore the battle in the heat of the day. In Sweden there used to be a Hall | of Heroes where a young man who | purposed giving his | service for his country might go and remain in vigil and drink in the in- | spiration that must come from the warlike deeds of his ancestors, So Decoration day is our Hall of | Heroes, where it is good for our young men to enter and meditate and then come our for loyal service. Our young men will thus be made ready for the demands that are made upon them through the exigencies of war, Service for Citizenship. If we are ready to spring forth in answer to our country’s call for ser- viee on the battlefleld, we should be no less willing to give our service in times of peace—our service to every- thine that feonserves good ‘citizenship. New York was stirred the other day when the bodies of our brave boys came back from Mexico. Good citizen- else. Patrick Henry once said: “I am not a Virginfan, I'm an American!” The blue and the gray, the buff anéd the -red are brothers, people . with one language and one flag, The sons of the north and south fought together in the war with Spain in 1898, It is for us now te prove our fellow- ship by our geed citizensl There is much to be doene. There is a tendency in this country te greatly ignore law, It should be our purpose to strengtben the arm of the law. The man who in- cites violence should be taken care of.

At a joint meeting of the Board eof Trade committee and the City Beauti- ful association held Friday afterneon in the directors’ room at the home of- fice of the New London County Mu- tual Fire Insurance company, the chairmen of- sub-committees made re- ports, showing that everything was well advanced for the clean-up cam- paign which is to be in force In the 2n |city for the six days of this w President Walter F. Lester pi ded and those present included L. O. Smith, A. L. Peale, Mrs. W. R, Birge, Miss Amy C. Cogswell, M. C. Higgins and H. W. Tibbits. It is the desire of the association to have everybody join the clean-up ar- my this week and the various com- mittees made reports of what had ‘been done or planned for the general effort. A resolution was passed in re- sponse to the general complaint that has been receiyed about the damage that has been done in homes, churches and other buildings and to vehicles by the heavy oil that the city has been spreading on the streets to keep down the dust. The ofl is tracked every- where after a street has been spread ‘with it, and it was voted that in.view of this damage the association should respectfully request the city officials to have the sand carts follow and sand the st immediately after the heavy oil bas laid on. President _Lester Commends Putnam Plan. President Lester gave a report of what he had learmed of clean-up plans in a dozen different cities, and spoke of the Putnam plan as one wor- thy to be followed. This was to have a map of the city made in brown. The blocks and houses were shown on It, inspectors were appointed for districts and as fast as a yard was noted cleaned up its place was indi- cated by a pink paster on the map. Before the Putnam clean-up week was over the city was represented by a map pink. Committee Reports. Miss Cogswell reported for the com- mittee on parks and trees and of their intention to have all paper and refuse atter picked up and also to have the grass cut. Mrs. Birge told of the work done by arranged to have the children given the four-language clean-up circulars take home on day. Zenship. In no other way could we | e L. O.

The street commissioner de- sires those having material to be cart- ed away to have it placed in boxes or barrels o that the carts will be able to handle it easily and notabe de- wayed In their collections. The inquiry was raised at the meet- ing: whether the clean-up week would {also include the streetdep artment as far as the condition of the streets was concerned, bu¢ there was no infor- mation at hand on this point, Mr, Tibbits made report for the pub- licity committee of the circulars and window ecards that had been prepared and of the slides that the theatres were showing, Votes of thahks to the Davis thea- tre, the Auditeriim and the Colonial flo'r;i their esurtesy in displaying these slides. A proclamation issued by Mavor Dennis J. Murphy of Lowell covers the clean-up idea along practicable lines. He advised as follows: Make your plans today for clean- ing vour premises. Begin with the attic and go through to the basement and then take the back yards and -the front yards, re- moving all , ashes, wood, gar- age, , old papers, tin cans, old rags and all rubbish of all kinds.

Sunday was observed as Flower day by the Order Sons of Zlon when flow- ers were sold for the bemefit of the Jewlish National Fund. The local branch observed the day by having young ladies sell flowers under the direction of the national fund com- mittee which comprises Charles B. n and Benjamin Wolk. Among the accomplishments of the national fund in Palestine have been the promotion of agricujtural coloni- zation, rural and urban settlements, and institutions of public utility. NORWICH TOWN Many Attend Dance at Scotland Road Hall—Sunday Schoel Session—Per- sonals. Thursday last Wilson's thrush or veery was seen. -It lives in damp Wwoods and usually keeps near wood- land. Its song is not so musical as that of the wood thrush and it can easily be distinguished from other thrushes by its cinnemon color. The cedar waxwing or cedar birds are about the orchards. Late in June or July they will bulld their nests. They are especially fond of small fruits, often being called the cherry birds. So tame are they that ome can almost touch them while feeding or sitting upon their nests. The redstart was seen this last week tuking his bath in the Yantic river. He loves to display his colors of or- ange, dblack and white, and darts here and there, falls and rises and spins about, catching an insect at every turn and seems the most beautiful and an- imated bird in the woods. The rose- breasted grosbeaks are singing ail day in this vicinity. They are said to feed largely upon potato bugs. In the woods last week a chewink was seen making his ‘way over dead leaves and twigs, uttering his sharp call, and being answered by his mate a few yards distant, perched on the top of a tall tree. The male is a hand- some bird with black head and black and white wings and tail. Following patiently the insistent call “Teacher! teacher!” the oven bird was at last found walking along a path, this is almost the only bird that walks: soon he flew to the fork of a small tree and resumed singing, shaking his little body as the notes were produced. He well rewarded the search with his modest suit of gray brown was seen, and later his fight song was heard. Dance at Scotland Road Hall.
