A temporary heating plant, to be constructed of stone and wood, is to !{'be built at once on the New London /men. Working plans have been pre- ‘pared by the college architects, and gids for the erection of the structure :Iwill be sought immediately. A special ‘meeting of the building committee of i Ithe trustees has been called for Friday afternoon to take action in the mat- ‘ter. | The heating plan will be erected 200 feet west of Mohegan avenue and 160 feet south of Reservoir street. It ‘will be connected with the other col- lege buildings by underground tun- nels. The cost of construction will be comparatively small, it being antici- ‘pated that the total amount will not “vepresent the interest on the sum that would have been requisite to build a permanent heating and power plant.. 4t is believed that the proposed struc- ture will be sufficient to meet all re- quirements for several years. Excellent progress is being made on the first group of buildings. Plant hall is in readiness for the second tioor to be laid. The first floor is be- ing laid in Allyn hall and work is un- der way on the second story of the * science building. Today for the first time the weather interefered with op- erations. It was so cold at the site Tuesday morning that it was decided sto quit for the day. At 3 a. m. the thermometer registered 7 above and at “7 o'clock it was only five degrees Many inquiries are being recelved warmer. \ by Miss Elizabeth C. Wright, the col- lege registrar, from prospective stu- dents and their parents. Requests for copies ‘of the prospec- Jtive courses of study at the college are ‘also arriving almost daily. These have not been fully determined as yet but it is probable that they will be within 2 week or two. It is also likely that "before long a selection of the faculty to be connected with the institution ntaidts opening next September will be made.

Was Revived in Pomfret Some Years Ago—Is Old English Play. The old English Miracle Play of the Nativity, revised some years ago in Pomfret, Connecticut, -and given there annual, is to be presented in many towns and cities all over the United States this year. The text of the play is taken quite simply from the Gospel. So far as is possible, the costume is that of two thousand years ago in Judea and the Orient. The actlon is of the simplest, and is performed with great solemnity by the young actors. Symbolism, no reallism is the key note. The An- nunciation, a scent by itself, is fol- lowed by a group of pictures present- ing the events of the “Wonderful Birth.” The shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night uphold the Angel of the Lord. The shepherds are overawed with con- sternation and fear, but the -Angels message is full of joy. Suddenly the heavenly hog# is with them in pan- toraime proclaiming the Message. As the angels are gone away from shem, the shepherds confer together: “Yet us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thinw which has come to which the Lord hath made “And they came— and folind My uand Joseph, and the babe lying in z nmgger’ Then fol- lows the/last picture, the Wise Men from the East bringing gifts of goid, frankincense, and myrrh. With the majesty ard wisdom of the East bow- ed low before the babe who had not where to lay his head, the pantomime of the Nativity ends, to be repeated year after year, as the season comes again. Scouta After Moths. The state mypgy and brown tail moth socouts who have been for the past few weeks under Irving Davis from the state experiment station at New ‘Haven has left town for North Stonington, where they will con- tinue for a while their hunt for the pests. -Their labors in &kon- ington netted them several scores of the moth clusters and the territory about the borough was pretty thor- oughly gone over.

When the case of Addie Burns, con- vicied in this county, was brought up before the bhoard of pardons at the state capitol at Hartford on Monday, Staté Attorney Alliny of New Haven county figured in a serious altercation with Lawyer David E.

Fitzgerald - jumped to his feet and exclaimed that ever if All- ing was state's' attornsy, he would not submit to suca insinuations from him nor any other man. Things looked serious for a time, bue Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, who will sit with the board for the last time at the adjourned session Friday, brought peace by saying that “per- haps the state’s attorney had been a bit intemperant in his remarks” Alexander Savage, sentenced May 9, 1913, to from one to three years for Tobbery - committed in Mystic appear- ing for the first time and pleaded his innocense. Davigd E. Fitzgerald of New Haven represented Addie Burns, sentenced in New London, Jan. 28, 1009, to from 12 to 25 years for carnal abuse of a minor female! applying for the second.time. He presented a plea that a man nam- ed McNulty had brought the little girl to her house, end that the wo- man had been sufficiently punished for the part that she took in the in the statutory rape. Falcorie Says He’s Innocent.

Thus New England's financial re- source soon began to stand as guar- antor of the business enterprises of America—and to a very. substantial degree still maintains that position. Many fire insurance companies were organized and many failed. Witness the fact that 1792 is the date of or- gan| on of the oldest American fire insurance company which has sur- vived and is doing business today. Not only did New England early be- come a pioneer in the fire insurance business_ but this is particularly true of our own.state of Connecticut. By one more step we come to the fact that Norwich has been for nearly one hundred and twenty years the home of the second oldest insurance company in the United States: the Mutual As. surance company of Norwich, organ- ized in 1795, and still doing business. The only senfor company is that re. ferred to_above, the Insurance Com- pany ot North America, which began business in Philadelphia in 1792, Norwich, then, has a peculiar her- itage in the fire insurance business, and forms a fitting home for time-honored ' institution, London County Mutual Fire Insurance Co. When this company was organ- ized in 1840 but six of the presen twenty-four ° Connecticut 'companies were in existence. Four of these were mutual’ companies: Norwich Mutnal, Hartford County Mutual, Litchfield Mutual and Middlesex Mutval; two were stock companies: the Hartford Fire Insurance Co. and the Aetna In- surance Co, From- the time of its first meeting njury sustained b; the late fire on'said house repair- ed.” G This:was action by the members of the company assembled. agency ten ‘years after incorporation, the rec.
