What the Designers Had to Show to Saturday’s Many Shoppers—New Ideas Cunningly Developed. Saturday’s fine weather gave an im- petus to spring hat-buying. Many chojce designs were selected for im- mediate or later wear. _One pretty offering to which atten- tion was called was a myrtle green hemp poke, with black velvet ribbon strap across the top. The trimming was a bewitching knot of orange roses and tiny green berries, Very showy was a purple tricorne shape, in transparent brald. A moire butterfly bow was poised on the cen- tre of the crown, and the finish was cerise roses, A sand saflor had pasted flowers on a Belglan blue band. There was a natty butterfly bow in the sand tint on_the crown, Tete de negre was the tint of a small hat in hemp, with shaded sand quills, the only other trimming being a_tailored bow of brown gros-grain ribbon. One of the most strikingly elegant of the hats shown was a_boat-shaped model in black hemp. There was a black grosgrain ribbon about the crown. It was finished with a bow across the front and had stunning black and white chiffon pompons at the side back. Although simple, this was as smart as any hat displayed so far this season. Designers are busy adding daily to the stock of handsomely trimmed of- ferings for the coming season, Reading a description of the beau- tiful headwear is not enough: the models should be seen, and while the stock is at its freshest and best. _Take advantage of the millinery hints proffered today by the Bulletin's advertisers!

Incoming Postmaster. WI M C CHE Retiring Postmaster, NORWICH POSTMASTERS CHANGE John P. Murphy Succeeds Postmaster William Caruthers To- day—Retiring Postmaster Preparing to Deliver Govern- ment Property to His Successor—Was First Appointed Postmaster Here on May 1st., 1889, Having received his commission last week as the Norwich postmaster, John P. Murphy, whose appointment to that position was confirmed by the senate on the 28th of February, is to take his new_position this morning, having arranged with Postmaster William Caruthers to be there at 9 o'clock this morning to present his credentials and take over the office formally from his predecessor. The commission came in the latter part of last week, and since then Mr. Murphy had informed the postmast of its receipt and arranged with him when he should take over the office; for which he was nominated by Con- gressman Bryan I". Mahan in the early part of February. He has also filed with the postoffice department the re- quired bond of $15,000 which is called for in connection with the Norwich office, which is a first class postoffice, paying a salary of $3,200 yearly. Mr Murphy's appointment is for four years. Since receiving word of the receipt by Mr. Murphy of his commission, Postmaster Caruthers has been making the necessary preparations in closing accounts and taking -inventory to hand over the keys to his successor. Postmaster Caruthers retires from the service at this time with a record unique and hardly to be rivalled in the postoffice department, both for length of service and able administra- tion and accomplishment as postmas- ter. First appointed postmaster on the 1st of May, 1889, upon the nomination of the late Congressman Charles A. Russell, he held the office until April ist, 1894, when Stephen Hall was appointed. Mr. Caruthers was reap- pointed postmaster on the 1st of Apr 1895, and has held the position conti: uously since that time. His frst ap- Dointment to the office was preceded by 18 vears of ice as clerk and ef clerk, making a total of over 38 ears in the postal service, of which 21 years has been as postmaster. From his first year in_ the office, Postmaster Caruthers had been a worker and an efficient one in better- ing the local service, securing one im- provement anq extension after another through his personal attention to the needs of the community and his _close touch with the authorities at Wash- ington so that the Norwich office is known throughout the state as one of the most advanced in all its depart- ments, with a reputation at Washing- ton as well for covering its district and giving the best service of any city of its size in the country. Under his term as postmaster free delivery was instituted in 1884, having at that time one regular carrier and five auxiliaries. Now there are 20 regular and five substitute carrier The rural free delivery service h: been another developm-nt during his term in which the Norwich office has the record of having more rural de- liveries than any city of triple its size. The nine rurai delivery men cover 225 miles on their routes every day. One other notable mark in the Nor wich postofiice history during his term was the erection of the fine new postoffice building, built in 1904-1905 when an appropriation of $110,000 was made and formally opened to the pub- lic on Washinston’s birthday in 1905. That the community’s debt to Mr. Ca- ruthers in his efficient administration of his office is no inconsiderable one is a well recognized fact that has made the Norwich postoffice and the name Caruthers synonomous terms for many years past. ser TOOK IN OVER $100 AT SUFFRAGE SALE Doughnuts Baking in Thayer Stors Window Attracted Much Attention. The proceeds at the food sale con- ducted Saturday morning and after- noon by the Norwich Equal Franchise league in one of the stores in the Thayer building, Franklin _square amounted to $110.

Three Generations Celebrated Day With Mrs, Sarah Kenerson. the A home gathering filled with hap- piness and good cheer was held on Sunday at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Marshall Whitford of Dunham street, when a family dinner was given in honor of the 90th birthday of Mrs. ‘Whitford's motber, Mrs., Sarah Ken- erson. The table was attractively laid, the center of attraction being two large handsomely decorated birthday cakes, one bearing the dates 1825-1915 and the other having 90 lighted candles.

The amputated hands lying where they had fallen on the floor of the window attracted considerable attention Sun- day afternoon and evening. In spite of pleasant day attractions, 130 persons visited the Otis library reading room Sunday afternoon. Miss Sadie J. Dawson was in charge, SAYS THAT WAR SETTLES NO DISPUTES Bishop Hamilton Believes That the Pcace Plan is the Only Way. One of the most stirring sermons heard in this clty in some time was that delivered by Bishop John W. Hamilton, D. D., of Boston at Trin- ity Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday morning. There was a large attendance and the Bishop’s sermon was listened to with deep interest. His text was Isaiah 2:4—“And yve BISHOP JOHN W. HAMILTON, D. D. shall judge between the nations and shall reprove many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plough shares and their spears into pruning 5 BAP™ WAS PREACHER AT UNION SERVICE Rev. Dr. Slocum Spoke Upon the Im- perative Need of Individual Choice. “The time to choose is now” said Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D.. pastor of the Central Baptist church, in his sermon at the union service at Broadway Congregational ch Sunday evening. The pastors of the four churches uniting in the service were present and the combined choirs led the singing. Rev. E. S. Worcester, the pastor of the church, led the ser- vice. Following the opening hymns earnest prayer was offered by Rev. F. W. Coleman, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, and the scripture lesson Joshua 24, was read by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, pastor of the Second Congregational church. Rev. Dr. Slocum took as his text, Joshua 24:15. And if it seems unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye shall serve, whether the gods which yvour father served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell, but as for me, and my house, we will serve the Lord.” “Joshua an old man and ready to be gathered unto his fathers” said Rev. Dr. Slocum, “assembled the peo- | ple and delivered unto them his fare- | well address. Graphically Joshua re- | viewed the promises of God ta them, | and their fathers before them, and ended with a protest against foreign | gods. In the midst of this passionate speech he made it clear that a_choice was necessary, that each individual ma idividual choice. Then in a matic manner he says, “As for me and my family, we shall serve the Lord” Joshua even implied that should his family foresake him, he would serve God alone. His address made a very deep impression on the people and they answered, "7~ will serve the Lord also” and Jo. aid “He is a jealous God and will have no other gods before him.” Joshua com- pleted the transaction by the institu- tion of a covenant with the people. He told the people there was only one thing to do and that was to abolish their gods; not merely to profess, as religion is something more than a covenant. This was the end of that particular impressive transaction. There is a call for immediate deci- sion. Sometimes our modern appeal ends with these words, “Think it over and tomorrow tell me what you think of it.” It is not so with the situation. Joshua lifts up his voice with this pressing invitation, “Choose vye this day” and the people’s choice was made. Later on in the history of God's people they were still again called up- on for immediate choice. Hundreds of heathen apostles were assembled and the air throbbed with heathenism. On this occasion Baalism permeated the atmosphere and the people were silent. Elijah, the champion of God, aproached and the silence became ev- en more intense. He began to speak; every word rang out with distinction: “How long do you go limping between the sides? If the Lord be God, serve Him; if Baal be God serve Him.” The people remained silent; silent be- cause they were under a conviction. This is the issue, continued _the speaker, and has been the issue. Men and women are constantly called upon to decide and the decision is based on reason. How clearly Joshua spoke to the people, how calmly yet with what conviction. We find other examples in tihe word of God where men are summoned to think. In the opening chapter of the book of Isaiah there a summons to think. Paul, th apostle, had an experience which in- dicates that religion is based very Llargely upon the employment of the highest and best of reasoning power. In his closing words, Rev. Dr. Slo- cum said that if there were any present who felt the summons to choose they should make their choice now and not tomorrow. Each indi- vidual knows what the gods are that take the place of God. The time ha come for the conviction and the invi tation and the time to decide is now. JIM CROW CRUELTY. Increasing Under Present Conditions in Southern South—Rev. D. J. Mountain Speaks of Negro Prob- lem From St, Patrick’s Pulpit. Rev. be the Patric David_J. Mountain, who is to St. Patrick’s orator at St. church, Wednesday even- ressed the congregation there on the work which the Cath- olic Board for Mission Work Among the Colored People is ding in the South. This board, which has head- quarters at No. 1 Madison avenue, York, was organized in 1897 by e, that the needs of the col- s may be brought more .ore earnestly to the no- e Catholic people through- out the country. The director-gen- eral of the board is Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke and Rev, Father Mountain is one of his two assistants. There is an influential executive board, hea ed by Cardinal Farley. In coming to this diocese to explain the needs of his colored charges, Father Mountain had warm endorse- ment from Bishop Nilan; in which the bishop heartily recommended him and his co-workers to the courtesy and co- operation of both the clergy and the people. Directing attention t othe fact that the colored people of the South rep- resent the race brought here against its will to be sold into slavery, Fath- er Mountain stated that there are about ten million of that race in what he designated as the Southern South, and of this number only about 200,000 hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neithershall they learn_war any more.” In his sermon Bishop Hamilton set forth emphatically the fact that war never settles disputes. He sald that some people claim that Christianity is on trial in Europe, but that this is not so, as it is war that is on trial War has always been a failure and will always be a failure. Bishop Hamilton said the only way to settle disputes permanently was through the peace method. Bishop Hamilton was elected to the Episcopacy in 1900, being now the senior active bishop in the denomina- tion, having been four years longer a bishop than any other man on the ef- fective list. By the present law of the church a bishop is released from of- ficlal obligation at the general con- ference following his seventieth birth- day. At the general conference in May, 1916, Bishop Hamilton will be thus retired. He was born in West Virginia on March 18, 1845. Held for Hearing. Wassil Saluta, who left Montville on the 1st of February, was arrested in Pittsfield, Mass,, on Friday by Consta- ble M. J. Hickey, who went to Pitts- fleld and_found Saluta in his home there at No. 93 Turner street. Saluta is accused of theft of $50 from the girl to whom he was engaged, Mary Belkofski. He was locked up over night here at police headquarters and was taken to Montville Saturday, where he was presented before a ju: tice, and held in $300 bonds for a hear- ing Monday. Saluta was engaged to be married to a Polish girl and was given money by his intended wife to get clothes for the wedding, it is claimed. Saluta lett to get the clothes, but never came ck. ‘. The moon is new tonight, the 15th. are Catholics. They are a deeply re- ligious people and he spoke of the joy of knowing so many among them with the whitest soulls God ever made. In addition to their other hardships, they have to bear the deeply rooted hatred of their white neighbors, which shows no evidence of growing less. In the South there are Jim Crow steam and street cars, Jim Crow railroad stations, Jim Crow schools and chufches, in everything, in fact, the difference in color is cruelly em- phasized. He related a number of touching incidents shuwing how this race hatred operated, even in the church and after death, In spite of all obstacles, the color- ed people are advancing, so that over 57 per cent. of those in the Southcan read and write, others have attain- ed standing in_the professions, busi- ness life, etc. Parents are keenly am- bitious for the advancement through education of thelr boys and girls and the people are anxious to receive the faith. The mission board has erected forty schools in different localities and it was of their nceds the preached spoke, There are four cclored priests and two orders of colored Sisters helping to carry on the werk of the board. Many other missionaries are needed. Father Mountain said that this was a respon- sibility which Catholics could not evade. The leaflet of the board says: We do not love our foreign missions less but our home missions more. There is room for botk in our hearts. While father and mother in the negro fami- ly are working, the children are left largely to the street training, unless gathered iInto schools where the ten commandments rule.
