WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1914 TALKED ABOUT IN WESTERLY William Carroll, Once Employed by The Bulletin, Addresses Providence Arcanumites—Anniversary, of the Big Gale —Granite Pedestal for Webster Statue Finished— Protest Against Train Discontinuance. ‘William Carroll, foreman of the posing room,of the Providence Jour- nal, gave an interesting and instruc- tive address, based on perscnal ex- perience on the subject, The Make- up of a Newspaper, before a large audience of Royal Arcanum members in Providence Monday night. Mr. Carroll told of his introduction into newspaper work as devil in the office of the New London Chronicle, at the age of 12, of his subsequent work on the New London Evening Star and the Norwich Bulletin, half a century ago, later being employed on the New York " Herald and then going to the Provi- dence Journal. Mr. Carroll when a young man was classed among the fastest of compositors in Eastern Connecticut and sustained that reputation in New York, being in the class/ with Aren- burg and Chris Wall. % Mr. Carroll in his introductory gave a short resume of the early newspapers, told how they were gotten out and tha vast number of handicaps as com- pared with the present day publica- tion. To better illustrate the types o papers printed, several'old copies of a vare collection were handed out for inspection. After explainir.g how the copy is set up on the linotype ma- chines and corrected by the proof readers, Mr. Carroll exhibited a matrix made from the page of type on a steam bed which goes to the stereo- type room. 1-here the cylinder is made for the press. % A description of the earlier presses, and those used from time to time, and ospecially from the Washington and Peter Smith Patent lever presses with which he was familiar, to the present “modern perfection presses, and the improvements that have been made, were explained. He -said that in get- ting out a newspaper in large cities persons engaged in fifteen trades and occupations have their part to per- form. The work in the mailing room, getting the finished newspapers to dealers and trains, were also fully described. There are three residents of l\%xw London who were associates with Mr. Carroll in the printing trade half a century ago. They are Tax Collector John Dray, Edward A. Colby ad man on The Day, and Walter Fihzmaurice the correspondent of the Norwich Bul- Tetin. Ninety-nine years ago Tuesday oc- curred the “Great September Gale,” and was to the residents of this sec- tion for many years a sort of work- ing period for subsequent events, just as was to the Irish “The Night of the Big Wind in Ireland,” which occurred at an even earlier period. This ref- erence to the “Great September g'a!e” is from Westerly and its witnessés: “Westerly shared her proportional part of the strike of the ‘terrible gale of September 23, 1815. The heavy part of the gale struck the coast in the forenoon, from the sonutheast, and spent its force in a few hours; mean- while veering in its course till it reached the southwest. It affected the coast chiefly between New Bedford and New Haven. Nowhere was it more severe than on the Narragansett shore. The ocean wave, raised by the gale, rose ten feet along the coast, rolled over all the beaches, swept cat- tle from the pond islands, sticks from the shore meadows, and swelled the ‘Pawtucket river nine feet above its usual height at the head of tide water. Two porpoises were driven up into the village. The spray of the sea was borne far back intp the country, so that salt was collected on the window anes on Pendleton hill, and as far back as Plainfield, Conn. ests on the coast were ‘prostrated; the house of Samuel Bliven, in the Naps was washed down; the house of John Cross was partly unroofed; the Hill meeting house was wholly unpoofed; barns and sheds were overturned; and small buildings in the village were floated over the dam. The heavy for- est occupying the land where now stands the foundry, machine shop and dwellings, on the west bank of the river, in Pawtucket, was_ prostrated and virtually destroyed. Happily the hurricaine was of short duration, abat- ing before the close of the day.’ The bronze statde of Noah Webster, which was fitted to a granite base at the Smith Granite works, was taken back Tuesday to the Gorham plant in Providence, to receive the finishing touches. The statue is in several All the for-| pieces and workmen from Gorham’s fitted it perfectly to the granite work. This work being finished the statue will be completed and will soon be permanently placed. This Webster memorial is to be presented to Am- herst college by Richard Billings, one of Amherst'’s wealthy and influential alumni in memory of Mr. Webster, one of the earlier graduates. It will be placed in the rear of the college chapel facing an arch of trees that lead to the college church. The bronze figure was designed by Sculptor W. D, Paddock of New York with studio in Kent, Conn. The figure was not modeled after a portrait of Noah Webster, although the face ex- pression is said to be a fine likeness. The statue is a personification of Edu- cation, Webster being portrayed in sit- ting posture with two scrolls in his lap. The right arm is extended rest- ing on the. top of the granite seat while on the left the mantle of the flowing robe reaches a corresponding distance. On each end of the seat are £|two bronze basins, into which water will be constantly flowing when the memorial is in place on the college campus. The figure is twice life size and attracted much attention in Dixon square Tuesday, in one of Gorham's motor trucks. The granite exhedra, upon which the bronze statue is to rest is very at- tractive. It is 23 feet 2 1-2 inches long, 10 feet high and 8 feet 2 inches wide. On_the front of the stone, let- tered on both sides of the flgure is one of Webster’s favorite scriptural references: “I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” Noah Webster—His Faith. The proposed changes in the time- table of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company are exciting all along the line protests and petitions notwithstanding the fact that the coptemplated changes are in the interest of economy and in the reduction of the expenses of the road to meet the pressing requirements. ‘Westerly, in common with many other places along the line, is in the class of objectors. The town was represent- ed at a conference held with General Passenger Agent Spencer in New Ha- ven on Monday, by Francis G. Has- well of the Westerly town - council; Frank W. Coy of the traffic commit- tee of the Westerly' Board of Trade; Thomas Boardman, manager of the Bradford Dyeing association; Willard S. Bacon, superintendent of Westerly schools and Frank Sullivan, manager of the Crumb quarries. A protest was entered against the discontinuance of the 8.18 eastbound acdommodation train, as that is con- venient for the school teachers who go to Bradford from Westerly, for the office force of the Bradford Dyeing association in particular \and for the public in general. Protest was made against the discontinuance of the Sat- urday night train between Kingston and Westerly and intermediate = sta- tions. Request was made for a new train to be run both ways between Bradford and Westerly, between the noon hour and 2.30 in the afternoon. The whole plan was discussed in_ de- tail and Mr. Spencer assured the Wes- terly delegation that all matters pre- sented would be given earnest consid- eration, but ®mpressed the visitors that lgwu absolutely necessary to re- duce the cost of operationt of the rail- road property in order to place the company on a paying basis, Dr. Percy A. Senior of Westerly, who was held on the charge of murder and abortion, resulting in the death of Katie Bombardo, late of Westerly, has been relieved of the charge of murder by the grand jury of .the superior court, now in session at Kingston, by a vote of 6 to 16. He was indicted on the charge of abortion resulting in death, and the case has been assign- ed for trial next Monday. It was sup- posed that trial would be at the ad- Jonrned session in Westerly, but the doctor insisted that he would receive a fairer trial at Kingston, as there was prejudice against him in Westerly. ‘Tuesday, the second day’s session of the court, as usual, was devoted to the divorce docket, and there was hearing on the following cases, most of them being uncontested: Emily A. Eccleston vs. Hugh C. Eccleston, continued. Ar- thur Francis Miller vs. Maud E. Mil- ler; granted on grounds of wilful de- sertion. Frances V. Atstin vs. Clar- ence A.

He must know that it is hon- est, efficient, pure and wholesome. In cases of nervousness, heart flutter, head- ache, biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the patient is a coffee drinker, most doctors order: “Quit coffee and use Postum.” Doctors recommend Postum because they know that it is a pure food-drink—absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, which makes coffee injur- ious to most users. It is significant that thousands of physicians not only recommend, but themselves use —its worth having been fully demonstrated, not only in the home, but in Sanita- riums, Hospitals and Colleges. : Postum now comes in two forms: b Regular Postum—must be well boiled—15c and 25¢ packages. Instant Postum—soluble—no boiling—made in the cup with hot water, in- stantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are delicious—cost per cup about the same—sold by Grocers every- where. “There’s a Reason” for Postum - , invited to of the moment.

This is the largest list of applicants in many years, so it is probable that the offic- jals will have a very busy day. Necessity for Traffic Regulations. There is a constantly reiterated de- mand for traffic regulations in Dan- ielson’s business section, not that any- one is convinced that the borough is on the verge of facing a Fifth avenue traffic crush, but because there are so many abuses that could easily be cor- rected. One of the things most ob- jected to is the stopping of vehicles walks, frora which persons who w streets are forced and required to get across as best they can_ often through mud, for per- manent pavements, it _has been held, are too expensive for Danielson. Some of the vehicles are left to block walks for hours at a time, seemingly with- PUTNAM NEWS out it ever occurring to the minds of the owner's that anyone is being in- convenienced. Another improvement ‘being advocated is the removal of hitching posts rom Main street. BROOKLYN FAIR. Busy Offic on Entry Day Tuesday «_—L;rg' Number of Exhibits Prom- ised.
