An incident of local interest was held recently in Rochester, N. Y., when Charles H. Ross was reminded that he tad a natal day. At the close of the day’s work Mr. Ross started for home, but met with a “holdup” in the factory yard, where he was surprised to find all the employes ‘had gathered. The foreman of the shop quickly stepped to Mr. Ross’ side and escorted him to & handsome leather upholster- ed Morris chair and invited him to te seated. Mr. Ross was then reminded he was 76 years old by the foreman, who in behalf of the men presented him with the chair with the following words: Friend Charles: I have been delagnted by the fore- men of the differeni departments of this factory to present to you this te- ken of their appreciation of your many good qualities and the indomitabie “Spirit of 76” weich pervades in you on this your birthday. It gives me great pleasure o represent your many friends on this occasion, and you may be sure we all hope you may greatly enjoy this chalr snd also that you may enjoy many years with us and may prosperity go hand in hand with you to the end. Though much overcome, Mr. Ross expressed hi sanpreciation of the giit and the spirit which prompted it. After the presemtation both Mr. Roze and the chair were sent home in a team which was decorated with ihe sentiment “Three cheers for Charlie!” Mr. Ross is a native of Norwich and was with the Rogers people, afterward the Amgrican Wordworking Machine company, going with _that company when they moved to Rochester, N.

Rev. C. H. Ricketts 8poke Upon Using the Stralght Edge-. Using the Stralght Xdge was tha topic upon which Rev. C. H, Ricketts spoke at the shop talk conducted at the plant of the Richmond Radiator company under the auspices of the Y, M _C. A. at noon on Wednesday, n part, Rev, Mr, Ricketis spoke as follows: Some time ago & man of my ac- qualntance was very ill. During h.s delirilum he imagined himsel? about hla daily toll in the workshop. Every now and then he would call upon some fel- low workman to ‘bring him the “straight edge.” Did it ever occur to you, men, that If everybody in this workshop, or in every other workshop, for that mat- ter, should be perfectly straight wi'h everybody else, would it not reduce the problems of labor fully one-half? Why can't we be straight with one another? ‘Why should there be the disposition on anvbody’s part to say and do things ‘behind anyone’s back that would not be sald and done to. one’s face? It's a cowardly thing, anyway, and gives rise to endless trouble. It never gives the person talked about a fair show, and it certainly brings on a sort of moral dry rot to any heart that is crooked to another heart. I do not suppose that it would right all the wrongs of human society ¢f everybody was treated straight, but I do think if we stopped stabbing people in the back—either with -the dagger or the tongue, but mostly tongue—if we stopped throwing mud at them when their -backs were turned, and stopped gossiping abbut people, we would get new vision of the Kingdom of God. It would be well if we Christians sat at the feet of the imperial stoie, Mar- cue _uredus, who said: “When thua wishest to delight thyself think of the virtuee of those who live witn thee; for instance, the activity of one, and the modesty of another, the liberality of a tnird, and some good quality of a fouth. The grand old pagan used a straight. edge. DR. TIMOTHY DWIGHT 86. Former President of Yale W tive of Norwich. a Na- Dr. Timothy Dwight ex-president of Yale, was 86 years old Tuesday and received visitors at his home and spent hours reading telegrams and letters that friends sent him from all gparts of the globe. Dr. Dwight is in his us- ual good health and bids fair to cele- brate many more birthdays. Members of Yale corporations sent a birthday message to Yale's president emeritus during the course of the meeting. Dr. Dwight was born in Norwich, the son of James Dwight. His moth- er was Miss Breed, sister of John Breed. He attended school at the old Norwich Academy, on the Little Plain, ‘when the preceptor was Calvin Tracy, a .ia}:nous teacher in early days in Nor- wich. Taken to New London Hospital. On Tuesday Dr. John W. Callahan was called to attend Frank Racine, Who rooms at the Y. M. C. A. and who was taken sick on Sunday after- noon and he found him suffering from scarlet fever. The case was reported to Heaith Officers Lewis and as there were no accommodations at the Back- us hospital for him he was removed in the auto ambulance to the isola- tion ward of the Memorial hospital in New London, upon consent of the New London authorities. The isolated ward at the Backus hospital is filled with children from the New London county home and it was on this account that ae dpnflen‘:l hag t«‘) bo’ taken to New ndon.

Thus each tea held swe the general fund one dollar. During the afterncen the ladies sew for the sale end the hostess serves tea. . On Tuesdey of this week Miss Mary C.

Possibly @ line from the bur- glars who recently. operated in a Prov- idence store, some of that gentry made an entrance some time Tuesday night to the grocery store of R. F. Smith in the May building on Main street, took the'smal safe from the office, wheeled it to the back of the store, where the elevator is, took it down celler in the elevator, and there in the rear of the cellar at the point where they would be farthest from the street, proceeded to crack it open. This was done with a sledge ham- med made up with a broom handle for the handle, The broom handle broke in the process, but it evidently lasted long enough be effective, for the door of the safe was battered in and $68 was stolen from the safe, was all that was taken, Although the place is in the center of the city, the was carried on so quietly that nothing was heard of the workers in the and they slipped away without leaving any clue by which they could be followed up. The store {s unlighted at night and this fact helped the burglars no doubt and they took the further precaution against 4 surprise by fixing all the elec- tric lights in the store so that each oue would have to be turned on sep- arately and if they had been discov- ered in the aect it would not have been possible to flood the store with light Dy turning on the switch, From the varfous points noticeable in the way they operated, the theory is that those who made the entrance had carefully figured out t@e place and were no nov- ices at the business, One of the theories is that the burg- lary was most probably commlitted in the earller part of the evening when the rumVle of the trolley cars and oth- er street nolses would serve to cover up any sounds that might have been made in the cellar or in moving the safe about the store. In consequence of a fight in a lunch cart a little after midnight, the streets were unusually deserted after that time, as men who are usually hanging around had got nut of the way for fear that they* might be drawn in as wit- nesses of the fight, since it was known that the police were looking for any- one who might possibly be able to throw any light on the fight, The burglary was first discovered by J. Carl Caswell, chief clerk for Mr. Smith, when he went to the store at 6 SIGN MEANT FOR TURTLE-TURNING AUTOS? Warning on Broadway Hill Now Hang ing Upside Down Possibly a warning sign along a pub- lic highway is fully as effective hung upside down as if it were in the nor- mal position, but llke the Scotchman, we “hae our doots.” ‘When the warning is intended for automobilists, it may be that an upside down sign is meant to be a concession for the convenience of those who are likely to exercise the automobilist’s privilege of turning turtle, for that would be a necessary requisite at the present time in order to get the right point of view at the blue enameled sign at the lower part of Broadway hill, which 1s meant to warn auto driv- ers_that they are approaching a school. For about a week now the sign has hung upside down on a pole about half way up the hill, but up to date there are no reports of any driver having taken the course suggested to satisfy his curiosity as to what the sign may say. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Sousa’s Band. Sousa’s band was greeted by a large number of the music lovers at the Auditorium on Wednesday afternoon. Norwich was fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing the band, as they gave only one more concert in the east, in Westerly in the evening, before going to the Pacific coast, where it is engaged for the Panama exposition. It was the same Sousa, but there was a noticeable difference in his band since its last appearance here. There are younger faces in the membership. The excellence of the concrt is at- tributed to the fact that the younger generation was a stimulant to the band. Sousa has on this tour HerbBert Clarke, cornet soloist, who has for so many years been one of ‘the attrac- tions of the band; and Miss Virginia Root, soprano, and Miss Margel Gluck, violinist. These sol6ists were heard to the best possible advantage and the encores demanded proved just how much the audience was pleased. The closing number was the 'overture to the opera Thalia (Gilbert) and was a fitting Sousa finish to a fine Sousa concert. As usual when the Stars and Stripes Forever was given as an encore, the trombones and trumpets were mar- shalled to the footlights. and in the last strain of the stirring march pour- ed out a solid wall of harmony that lifted the audience—figuratively, of course—out of the seats. FUNERAL. Charles Gorden. Funeral services for Charles Gor- don of Montville were held at the un- dertaking rooms of C. A. Gager, Jr., 70 Franklin street on Wednesday af- fernoon at 2 ‘Wclock with Rev. J. G. ‘Ward of Lefingwell Baptist church officiating. _Relatives were present gom New York state, New ndon, alem and Montville and there were also delegations from Thames lodge, No. 23, I. O, O, F. and from the A. O, U. W, The flowers included forms from the organizations of which Mr. Gordon was a member. Burial took place in the family lot in Comstock cemetery at Montville and Rev, Mr. Ward read a committal service at the grave, Mrs. Elizabeth S, Littiefleld. ‘Wednesday morning at 8.80 o'clock the foneral of Mrs, Elizabeth 8, Lit- tlefleld was held from her home, No. 11 McKlnl avenue and Rev, J, B, Slocum D, D, pastor of the Central Baptist church, officiated, Relatives nng friends attended and there were a number of handsoms floral remem- brances, The body was sent to Willimantic en the 8.95 o'cleck train by Undertakers Church & Allen and a service was held in the First Baptist church thers at 10.89 o'clock, Rev, F.

Secured $68 at R. F. Smith's Safe Into Cellar on Elevator—Broke it Open With Sledge Hammer—Made Clean Get-Away Without Leav- —_—— o'clock. Mr. Caswell went to the of- fice in the store to get some money to glve to the drivers, but as he turned on the electric light and reached down to turn the combination-of the safe he found it was d gone. Mr. Smith, proprietor of the store, was at once notifiled by telephone and | ci; at Mr. Smith’s direction Mr. Caswell also telephoned tu. the golice. First Sergeant Allen C. Matthews was -in charge at the desk at police headquar- ter and he at once went to the store t6_make an invi &on. It was found it the burglars had made an entrance into the store by breaking a_ gl in & window at the rear so that could reach the fas- tener on the dow. They had evi- dently also tried to take out the putty the window, but with- How carefully the burglars had worked was shown by the way they had moved things around in the store and put them back into place after pushing the safe from the office to the elevator. 'When moving the safe they pushed it along behind the coun- ter so that they kept out of view from the street front and they crossed the room with the safe at the rear to bring it to the elevator. i In the ceéllar- they placed the safe face up and battered in the door with the s'edge hammer. They also used an axe that had been lald up on a beam out of sight. They left the sledge hammer and a screw driver be- hind them. These were taken in charge by the police. A quantity of empty burlap bags piled near the safe showed that these had been used to deaden the sound of breaking in the door, The money in the. safe was in an inner box, which was pried open. The burglars left by the rear door of the store. Mr. Smith belleved that they climbed a wall that is at the rear of the store yard and got out into th alleyway that way, 2 The several policemen who are around this neilghborhood during the evening discovered nothing unusual about the place and the officer who visited the rear of the store about 3 o’clock ‘said he threw his searchlight around, but saw nothing unusual, The location of the rear door of the store makes it impossible for this to be tried by the officers as they do the front door. FIDELITY CLASS SALE HELD IN GARAGE. Home of the Automobile Made Con- venient Place—Many Patrons. The Fidelity class, No. 12, of the First Beptist church held its first Christmas sale since its organization Wednesday afternoon and evening in the new garage of Mr. and Mrs, M. L. Bergstresser of Asylum street. The garage looked very attractive and Christmassy with its decoratiens of red festooned from the center to the corners and sides, and with the pretty Christmas bells. There was a large display of lovely things, both in the dainty fancy work and for practi- cal work. . A table was full to overflowing w'th aprons of all kinds, from the pretty lit- tle white lacey aprons to the large comfortable work ones. One side i the room was devoted to fancy articles, where could be.found “just the right thing.” For the children, bags with gifts were suspended from strings which took the place of the ever popular grab bag.- The corner was a busy one. With the sale was a table filled with home made food. Business was brisk from the opening to the closing of the sale and 2 go0>d sum will be realized' by the class. Be- tween the afternoon and evening hours of the sale the class members were invited. to the hospitable home of Mrs. Bergstresser, where a bourtiful sup- per was served.

TWILIGHT SLEEP Backus Hospital Board of Lady V. itors Will Hear Treatment Described An unusually large attendance of the members of the board of lady visitors of the Backus hospital is expected to be present at the annual meeting this afternoon when Miss Margaret Tracy of New Rochelle is to give a talk upon Twillght Sleep. Accompanying Mrs. Tracy will be Mrs. Mary - Boyd, Mr. Enfmet &nd Mrs. Stewart, all of whom were confined in Freiburg, Germany, under the Twilight sleep method. One of the mothers will be accompeanied by her baby. Five hospitals in New York have adopted the discovery, but whether the “twilight sleep,” the new treat- ment for women in childbirth, which has been hailed as a great boon, or ‘Wwhether {t-has heen overestimated like many other medical discoveries, is a question that puzzles many physi- cians who doubt the hoped for favor- able results, Recently Major Stratford 8, Corbett, chief surgeon in the fleld artillery branch of the New York N. G., is' quot- ed as saying that he does not believe “twilight sleep” to be @ safe 3 He states that any physiclan who has a fatal accident as a result of its use may be held criminaly responsible by the authorities, He considers this new discovery in the same light as Dr, Friedman's turtle serum, which. after an Investigation by the United States government, proved beneficial in only a few cases, Furthermors, he in- timates that many of these so-called new discoveries are clever commercial propositions advertised extensively In newspapers and magazines, ‘OBITUARY.

Five men arrested on Tuesday nignt on the charge of frequenting a disor- derly house on Roath stret had this accusation changed to breach of the peace and then the charges again-t them were nolled. When the police made the arrests two.of the men were extracted from a closet where they hid when the police arrived. Tne house is one about which there have been frequent complaints as to the carousing and other noisy demonstra- tions that have been going on and po- licemen have been sent there several, times after complaints were received. Charles Hipshew and Albert Ander-' =on, the two soldiers from Fort Wrigat who got into an argument and smashs1 things up during their fight in Dris- coll's lunch cart after midnight on Tuesday, were fined $15 and costs, the bills totaling $48.72.
