The 28th anniversary is to be held in the Buckingham lll!!;lnrlll next entitled, Laugh a Little Now and Then, also Mrs. Coit read a sketch entitled Jenny Lynch Saluted the Flag. There are residents of New London who are really prominent in public affairs, men who have been active ia the affairs of city, state and nation, men who today are filling the highest offices within the gift ‘of the citizenry, men prominent in business and social affairs, but not a man among these men has achieved the newspaper | prominence of Thomas E. Donohua He has the facuity of getting his name, and his picture, too, in tae local news- papers in nearly every issue. There is hardly a move that Tommy makes that is not ohronicled in the newspapers. For weeks the papers announced that he was a candidate for inner guard of the national order of Elks, and now the people read of Tommy’'s election, of his home-coming, of what the west- ern papers sald of .him, and what his brother Elks did for him when he re- turned home. —_—— When Tommy Donohue was candi- date for alderman every reader of lo- cal newspapers knew it, and when elected he knew how to talk to the newspapers as & member of the court of common council. Then came h.s defeat for re-election, and the papers todd how it happéned. Before the elec- tion returns had cooled along came the action of Nameaug Engine company in expelling Tommy, who had just served {as foreman. While this matter was sizzling between the council and the | company, Tommy, wWho is classed as a | republican, was appeinted sealer of | weights and measures by a democradic i council. From that time up to his can- didacy for inner guard the papers to'd every day of what Tommy was doing, as sealer, with statements from tae sealer sandwiched in between the real news matter, and at no financial sacri- i fice to the genial Tommy Donohue. | When it comes to real free personal | advertising, he has the call. When .t! ! comes to booming ‘Tommy Donohue, leave it to Tommy, for he knows how to work the press agents in the Sea- side City, Tommy Donchue is entitled to credit for his .".7’ in pushing himself into the public floedlight, and if he keeps at the game long enough he may yet attain real prominence, the simon pure article. When he wants anything he | does not hesitate to go after it. That's how he became sealer of weights and measures, for when he wants personai favors democrats and republicans all | look alike to him. When he wants of- fice, party \partizanship does not cut any figure with him. At the last ses- sion of the Connecticut legislature Tommy went to the state capitol seek- | ing the position of doorkeeper or mes- ! senger as a representative of New Loa- don county. He found that the dele- gation in the legislature was over- | whelmingly democratic and could find | no demograt among thom who would | nominate him for the position he| sought, or any other with which they had any influence. Realizing that he could secure no state position for himgelf, he actua.ly went to Comptroller Dunn and tried to get him to appoint a near rehm\'oi to a position in the statehouse. Thac's the kind of an energetic and persistent individual that is the subject of this | skétch. ‘But Tommy doesn't care so long as he gets his name in print, for, to him, that is the road to true prom- inence. He iz such a cheerful and really good fellow that his efforts are applauded by his many friends. A letter of appreciation is expected for this free advertising in a newspaper of very wide circulation. Speaking of aldermen, reminds that Col. Eugene T. , whe has served the city for several years as an alderman from the Fifth ward, has thus early declared that he will not bs | a candidate for renomination, and tne ' announcement is received with general regret, as members of the colonef's type cannot be well spared from the rd of city government. He lays claims to being a politician and is opposed to the political methoda that sometimes prevail even in New Lon- don, which is noted for its (im)purity in matters pvlitical.

Donohue Picked By National Elks —Col. Kirkland Not to Run For Alderman Again—Plans For Stonington Centennial. ; election was not burdensome, to serve for more than one three years' term, Colonel Kirkland derived his title in the Spanjsh-American war, h the old Third Connecticut regiment. Prior to that he was a captain in the famous Seventh New York regiment, and went with the Third in 1898 as captain of Company I, New London, which he re- cruited to the limit before leaving tne military camp at Niantic. Colonel Kirkland is perhaps the oldest resident of the Pequot colony, being a member of the old New York family of that name that were at the old Pequot house every summer and when the colony consisted of the hotel and cot- tages, and the summer homes of tihe Haven: the Griswolds, the Gilberts and a few others. The Kirklands were always noted for their democratic ways and in that respect were the most fa- vored by the townspeople of that timie. So it is with Colonel Kirkland, a true gentleman and without the slightest tinge of aristocracy, a good mixer and easily one of the really most popular residents of the city of New London. Men of his stripe give one-and dig- nity to any body of men, ard his pres- ence will be missed from the court of common council, —— Hardly had Colone! Kirkland an- noumudyh ntention to retire as al- derman from the Fifth ward, when Willlam Baseley, foreman of the Ock- ford Hose company shies his castor into the political ring and announces himself as candidate for the repub- lican nomination to sucéeed Colonel Kirkland. Mr. Baseley was the can- didate against Alderman Small a year ago and Small's majority was very small, barely enough to secure the nomination, and his majority in the the Fifth ward is a republican hold and nomination is conlsd::-:?in‘to be equivalent to election. Still, Cor- nelius D. Twomey and George H. Thomas, democrats, have been elect- ed as aldermen from the Fifth ward. Baseley is out for the nomination, and even with the election nearly three months away, at this distance it really looks as if he had the call and would be nominated, Y best known in New rgeant Baseley, served in army, and is now on the having served the long period required for retirement with pay. In the Spanish-American war he served with the Connecticut Volunteers ané subsequently served in the Phil- ippines. -'Since his retirement he has had political aspirations and has done more or less republican party work in the Fifth ward. He is a fighter from Fighterville and will not permit any of the party leaders to interfere with his efforts to secure the nomination for alderman. Should he happen to be elected, what then? Well, if all ru- mors be true, he will reform the gen- eral management of munieipal affairs and have the city business conducted strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations, angd the city will get the benefit of the training Mr. Base- ley received while rving in ‘the United §tates army, where business is conducted with accuracy and dispatch, Now that the colonel has announced his retirement, the captain has a clear field for all his skirmish work and ample time to get his force in battle array onm election dav.

The town of Franklin, once - called West Farms, on account of lying to the west of the Norwich Seociety, was bought from the Indians in 1659 for about seventy pounds. It is in area about nine miles square. The Indian chief, Opkus, and hig sons, who orig- inated from Mohegan, made the bar- gain. J John Ayer, who resided in Massa- chusettd, became involved in serious trouble with the Indians of that- state, and in order to save his life fled to ‘West Pdarms, where he settied at what is still called Ayer's Gap, it being named after him. He wag the first white settler of Franklin. He lived mainly by trapping and hunting, and the only thing which - troubl him was rattlesnakes. These crawled into his house and frightened him greatly. He was told if he would keep hogs it would drive them away. Accordingly he purc! some and so rid his home of the troublesome visitors. The descendants of Mr. Ayer still lve in Franklin. Micah Rood moved to Peck Hollow in 1699 from the east side of the She- tucket river. It is where he lived that the Mike apple is said to have origin- at This apple has a bright red spot like a drop of blood near its core. It is_still wonderful to chiidren, and the strange old traditon is still related to them, It is said a pedlar once came to Mi- cah Rood’s home with a large display of wares. Micah invited him to the house, but while under this apple tree killed him. The next year the apple blossoms were red on this speclal tree, and in each fruit was a red spot, this being sure evidence of Micah's guilt. This greatly troubled him, and he grew sad and melancholy. He changed from the prosperous’ farmer to a pauper, and died a paupers death. Near Ayer's Gap is a cave in the ledges called “The Dragon’s Den.” This i{s said to contain a number of rooms, but no' person living has been known to explore them all. Persons go- ing there usuglily enter only two or three rooms. A story /As related about -an Indian woman once being offered a large sum of money if she would go into the cave and tell about what she saw on her return. She entered the cave and soon a splash was heard. She was never seen again, and it was believed that she was drowned in a pool of wa- ter which must be in the cave. On the other side of the Gap, far up on the hill, is a hut made of stone, where, it {s said, an Indian by the name of Ashbow once dwelt. In 1782, about the time of the Revo- lution, West was separated from Norwich. This proved more sat- isfactory to the pepple of West Farms, as they could manage the local affairs to suit themselves. It was at this time in the history of Franklin that the famous Rev. Sam- uel Nott became its pastor. He was a graduate of Union college, and under his instruction more than forty young men were prepared for college, about twenty of these being from Franklin. The people were called to church on the Sabbath morning by the beating of a drum, services being held all day. The men rode on horseback with their wives seated behind them, while the children and poorer people went afoot. The men wore knee breeches, silk stockings, and silver buckles on their shoes. The women’s hair was piled high on their heads, and altogether the appearance of these people was much the same as of those in the colonial days. On entering the church one might see in each corner a tything man, with a slender rod in hand, keeping order. These men kept strict order, and in the reports it can be found that peo- ple were fined for smiling and laugh- ing during service, the men and wom- en not being seated together in church. Soon after the church was built the people began to think of schools. A school was started on Meeting House Hill, which was kept open six months a year. The great hindrance was the lack of book, the teacher possessing about all in the gchool. It was so far for all of the children to attend one school that a school was started which moved from place to place, staying six weeks in a district, and this proved much more satisfactory. On the east gide of the town is Pau- tipaug Hill. Turning to the left at the top of this hill you can go to the She- tucket river by keeping on through the woods. You may also turn at the top of Pautipaug Hill, which is off the main road, and go to Baltic. The word Pautipaug means a bay or small body of water, and it is difficult to see why it should be given to a portion of Franklin. Pleasure Hill is on the road turning off ‘the turnpike. This is a summer resort for some people, and in this way may have derived the name. Keeping on up this hill is another hill called Scott. FHll. From here one can see a long distance on a clear day. One may see into Willimantic and Lebanon, and the ocean can be seen with a tele- scope.
