Following a serious illness of sev- eral months, due to a complication of ‘diseases, Charles Watson Briggs died at his home, No, 175 Broadway, Friday afternoon about 1 o'clock. He had been in ill health for three or four years and had been confined to his hoom for several months past. Mr, Briggs was the son of the late Lucius Briggs and was born in Gros- venordale, Windham county, on Oct. 2, 1865. Mr. Briggs attended the pub- lic schools at Thompson and later the Highland Military academy, at Wor- cester, Mass., graduating from there in 1874. After leaving school he en- tered the employ of the Grosvenor- dale company, where his father was superintendent. He began at the bot- tom and worked himself up to the po- sition of assistant superintendent, fill- ing this position until 1879. That year his father purchased a mill at Hay- denville, Mass,, and he was appointed superintendent of the newly acquired mill, continuing in this position until his father bought the mills at Glasgo, consolidating both plants, Mr. Briggs then went to Boston as special gent of the company for two years, when he was sent to New York, filling the same position there of the front door tampereduntil 1898, when his father sold his interests to the American Thread com- pany. Mr. Briggs then entered the folding boxboard paper business at Bogota, Bergen county, N. J., acting as treasurer and general manager of the Bogota Paper company. He con- ducted the business for five years, during which time he increased the capacity of the factory’' from 7_tons to 25 tons per day, The Bogota Paper company was one of the six largest concerns of its kind in the country. In July, 1902, the company sold out to the paper trust and Mr. Briggs came to Norwich. Mr. Briggs was a director of the Davenport Fire Arms company and about a year ago he entered bus- iness under the name of the Coronet Knitting company, manufacturing sweater coats, etc, with a factory on Chestnut street.

He was of a fine type of citizen who set a worthy ex- ample in the community. Mrs. John H. Piatt. Julia Chester Goddard, widow .of John H. Piatt, and a native of Salem, died in New London on Wednesday at the age of 76 years. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi H.

To carry out the Vote of a- meeting held Friday afternoon at 4 d'clock in the Board of Trade rooms in the Thayer building a committee will to- day canvaes the business men of the community to secure the names of those who will go to Hartford on a special train for the purpose of show- ing before the committes in Hartford on Tmesday their opposition to the proposed bill to create the town of Old_Norwich out of the present town of_Norwich. Fifty names were secured in the. meeting on Friday but the effort will be to greatly increase this number so as to make a counter demonstration in numbers to the men that will go to Hartford in support of the measure. This number it was stated would be no_jnconsiderable one as the Ponemah company is to shut down its mill at Taftville on that day and will pay the fares and give a lunch for all who will go_to appear in favor of the bill. Mayor T. C. Murphy called the meeting to order. Those attending were those whom he had named at the meeting last Tuesday evening to g0 to Hartford in opposition to the partition bili. The mavor spoke of the great need for Norwich to e well represented as against the measure and called upon A. A. Browning to speak upon the sub- Ject. Mr. Browning said that he consid- ered that if the town were worth sav- ng it was worth making an effort to do it. The opposition have secured the most able legal talent in Jydge Hennev of Hartford assisted by Mr. Carpe of Putnam and are exerting every hod to push the thing to a succes. om their point of view. They will ope.. the hearing and say they will take an hour in presenting their side of the case, but if they take long- er the opponents of the measure will have a hard time to get in their side of the case. The advocat of this measure he cald had claime, that they started this move because of their fear of annexa- tion, but now they say they are going ahead with it anyway even if they are shown that the annexation idea will be_dropped. Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fan- ning was called upon and emphasized how essential it was that there should be a large representation of the citi- zens to appear against the measure. Frank J. King replied to a question that a special rate of 99 cents each way on the railroad fare could be se- cured if more than 10 people would £o0. Later Mr. King, Judge Nelson J. Ayling and Albert Boardman were placed on the transportation commit- tee to arrange for the special train which was voted for. Judge Ayling spoke briefly and Ed- in W, Higeins gave a vigorous and impressive talk upon_the positive ne- cessity of going to Hartford with a big enough demonstrakion to more than_counterbalance the numbers that the Ponemah mil! people would en- deavor to have on hand. If Norwich don't send more than 30 or 40, the inference among those who have the final disposition of this matter will BRUSH FIRE AND TWO ON THE DUMP. Department Had Three Calls — First ‘Alarm from New Box No. 47. Rubbish that had caught fire on the dump north of Central Wharf Friday afternoon caused a call for the fire department at 1.45 o'clock./ The auto- chemical from the Central station and Chemical company No. 2 from the West Side station responded and 700 feet of hose was laid by the No. 2 company in order to reach the fire from the hy- drant near the J.. T, Young Boiler com- pany foundry. At 5.07 a bell alarm from box 47 on Laurel Hill, the first time that this new box has been used for a fire &all, brought the autochemical and Chemi- cal company No. 1 for a fight against a brush fire at the rear of the Spicer farm, just inside the city line. It gave the firemen an hour of hard work. While they were busy with this, Chemical company No. 2, which had come from the West Side to cover the Main street station. had a call again to the dump, wheie a pile of rough chestnut lumber had caught fire, prob- ably from sparks blown by the high wind from the other previous fire. Water from a 600 foot Mne of hose was used to put out this fire. The lumber belonged to A. L. Potter & Co, COUPE WHEEL COLLAPSED When Struck by Wheel of Mail Wagon on -Main Street. When #illlam Higgins, driver of the TU. S. mail wagon, attempted to pass a coupe driven by Fred M, Packer on Main street about 9 o'clock Friday night, the mail wagon struck the right rear wheel of the coupe, causing it to collapse. The accident happened in front of the United cigar store on Main street and both drivers were bound towards the square. The driver of the mail wagon attempted to pass on the right of the coupe, but the wagon did not quite clear. A young woman rid- ing inside the coupe esecaped injury and was taken to her destination by Thomas J. Fitzgerald in his automo- bile. Mr. Packer secured a long wood- en joist and by supporting the hub of the smashed wheel upon the joist was able to remove the coupe. Both drivers were proceeding at a moderate rate at the time of the accident. AT THE DAVIS. Vaudeville and Photoplays. For the midweek change the Davis management staged another excellent show and the various acts on the bill were highly appreciated by the good sized houses. The topnotcher was the eccentric comedy act presented by ‘Wentworth, Vesta and Teddy, a pair of very clever funmakers with an unusu- ally intelligent dog. Next came Gilson and DeMott, who were heard in a rapid fire line of comedy talk, interspersed with catchy song numbers: Grace Alli- son, a clever little songbird and char- acter change artist, was the thirll vau- deville attraction, delighting her audi- ences with her renditions and recita- tions. The Straight Road, featuring Gladys Hanson, was up to the movie standard, Mutual Movies and a sparkling Key- stone comedy,’with Ford Sterling, who has returned to the fold, completed.the attractive programme.

That meeting is to be on Monday evening. At the same time the direct be that the city either don’t care or is asleep. We have no quarrel with the Ponemah mills, but for the sake of the future we cannot afford to have 7,000 cut off our population. On motion of H, M. Lerou it was voted to name a committee of a dozen to solicit names among the business men who will go to Hartford on Tues- day. On behalf of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, Charles W.

Luxuriant hair—soft, flufty, thick and lustrous—is really a matter of care. If it is too thin stimulate the hair roots and bring out the new hairs. If it is too dry and brittle, soften it up—lubricate it. If you heve dandruff it's becguse the scalp is too dry and flakes off. Freshen up the scalp and the dandruff disap- pears. An inexpensive tonic, called Parisian Sage, which you can get from any drug counter, or from Lee & Osgood Co., is just what you need—it softens the scalp, nourishes and invigorates the hair roots, immediately removes ail dandruff and makes the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant. One applica- tion will stop itching head and cleanse the hair of dust and excess oil. Pa- risian Sage takes away the dryness and brittleness, makes the hair seem twice as abundant and beautifies it until it soft and lustrous. By the use of this helpful tonic any woman can easily make her hair heau- tiful; and pretty hair surely increases charm and beauty. Ah!

There has never been a war in which the development of uniform has gone on so continuously. In the usual way and in wars of the past observers may have noted in the course of a cam- paign that such or such a part of equipment was unsuitable to actual campaigning, but years passed before any change was made, sometimes gen- erations. In the Napoleonic wars it was thought that one English com- mander was a wonderful innovater because he modified the fearful Geor- gian uniform of men serving in the torrid West Indies, but in point of fact the change was not made till hundreds of men had died from the rigid rule which commanded European dress and drill to be retained in all particulars in every part of the world. But in this war every circumstance seems to produce its appropriate garb. In the snow-clad Vosges and In eastern Prussia the German patrols have been provided with white cloaks as the right protective coloring in a snow-clad landscape. The French Zouaves have abandoned almost with- out murmur their famous b: red breeches in favor of khaki.
