Allen of No. 158 Broad street, this city, died Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Kingston Avenue hospital, at Brogklyn, N, Y. where she had been il with scarfet fever for a week. Mr, and Mrs. Allen went to Brook- lyn on Thursday and were at their daughter's bedside when she passed away. Miss Allen was 19 years of age and was born in Norwich. She attended the Broadway Grammar school and also the Norwjch Free Academy. Aft- \er graduating from the Academy she went to Pratt institute in Brooklyn, last fall and was just completing the last quarter of her first year when taken ill. Besides her parents, she leaves two sisters, Esther and Doro- thy Allen. She was a member of the Second Congregational Sunday school and was popular with her many friends. The body arrived in Norwich on Saturday afternoon and was taken in charge by Undertakers Church & Allen. Mrs, W. Zeout. Mrs. W. Zecut of No.-8 ' Sherman street died in this ¢ity on Sunday.

Mr. Hancock was a hatter by trade. Pinochle Club Banquet. The dozen members of the West Side Pinochle club will journey to New London this evening to hold their an- nual banquet. The trip will be made in automobiles. Patching Battleships. After the conflict, Jack Tars have several methods of stopping the fn- coming water when a battleship ha been hit below the water-line. For instance, if a small hole has been made in the vessel's side, an apparatus like an umbrella is used. This is thrust through the hole, point first, and then drawn back so that it will open ltke an umbrella—leaving the canvas out- side, Of course, the pressure of the water effectually forces the canvas against the ship's slde, thus stopping the leak; but to make it more secure the handle of the umbrella, which is formed like a screw, is fastened by a nut inside, In the case of a bigger leak—when the ship has been stove in below the Water-line—a large mat made of can- vas and oakum is used. This has to be fixed into position by means of ropes. But the fixing is not a very easy matter, as one rope has to be got right under the keel, to the other slde proposed in Brooklyn to change John- son street to Willard street. —New York Evening Telegram. of the ship, in ordef to drag the mat down to the hole, Two or three other ropes are also required at different angles to guide the mat to its right position.—Tit-Bits. What a Revival ls, The word “revival’ is often given a meaning which primarily does not belong to it. Many emphasize the conversion of sinners as the essential element in revival work; but that is the secondary meaning of the word. Essentlally, “revival’ means _the quickening’ of God's people. You cannot revive a dead man. The un- regenerate sinner is spiritually dead. He must be born again. Now, you may revive a partially drowned body, or a partially frozen body. The re- generate soul's life often weakens and wanes, until the flame almost flickers out. But if there be the least spark of life left, it can be fanned into & flame; and like the apparently dead cinder in the smithy's forge, that spark wil touch others and kindle a flame that will enthuse a church, a city, or even a nation. A revival of religion, then, must logical- ly begin with the church. Such is the divine order—The Christian Her- ald. Dottie’s Refuge. In all wellregulated households there is a cat to be blamed for mys- teriously broken vases and similar catastrophies. However, in little Dot- tie’s home there was no cat just then. ‘When Dottie’s mother came home and saw the broken vase she demanded an explanation. “It was,” sald the little girl, searching for a refuge, “it was the Star. P No “Fixed Star.” ‘The phrase “fixed star” is a mis. nomer. There is no such thing. All the millions of stars one sees in the vault of the sky, and millions, vastly more millions, revealed by telescopy and photography, with undoubted un- countable other millions of mi' s, billions of billions, in the univ' es of the infinite beyond, have thel move- ments, whether in groups or . ether by single suns each, with its retinue of sun and its few known planets. According to British Law. Should the eaves of a man's house project over his neighbor's land, the latter may pull them down at once, according to British law, unless they have so projected for twenty years. SUMMER CROWD AT MOHEGAN PARK Remarkable Warm April Weather Sent Many to the City’s Pleasure Ground—Jitney Carried Many Loads of Vis- itors—New Monkey Held a Reception—Brood of Gos- lings Hatching—Turkeys Steal Their Nests—Bantams Hatching Pheasant Eggs. With the clearest of summer skies and with the mercury hovering around the 30 mark, Sunday was an ideal out- ing day and hundreds of people, young and old, visited Mohegan park during the afternoon to escape the heat of the city. A jitney line between Franklin square and the lake at the park, es- tablished Sunday and operated by Bert Smith, did a rushing business. People were waiting at both ends of the line eager to patronize the jitney, which made about three round trips an hour, averaging five passengers to the trip, one way. The jitney is yet in its infancy in this city and now that the possibilities of the park line have been demonstrated it is probable that by next Sunday several lines will be in operation. Practically no one knew of the jitney line until Sunday when the big black car appeared on the streets with large signs “To the Park” on both front and rear. Three in Monkey Cage, There is much to interest the casual visitor to the park for Supt. John Duff’s already large family is rapidly increasing and will be larger than ever this year. One of the centers of at- traction on Sunday is the inclosure in which two biddies strut proudly about followed by their broods of gos- lings recently hatched out. The two broods number eight in all, two of the goslings being of the African variety and the remaining six of the Chinese variety. A Japanese silky has hatch- ed out a brood of eleven chicks, all of which are doing finely. A never ending source of delight to the young folks and to the older people as well is the monkey cage. Jim, the latest arrival, coming from Branford farms last week, has now settled down and is as much at home as his own com- panfons. The monkeys are all in one cage, and although Jim had a few spats with Jack Johnson, the big black spider monkey, and Mary, when he first took up his quarters at the park, all three are now on the best of friendly terms. Superintendent Duff and the monkeys are fast friends and Jack Johnson is ever ready to stretch out a long_arm to shake hands with him, while Mary is quite content to sit on his hand while she is fed peanuts. Sights at Feeding Time. One of the interesting sights may be seen in the late afternoon when feed- ing time approaches. As soon as the superintendent enters the deer park where are kept a number of turkeys and other birds, in addition to the herd of deer, there is a grand scramble for the feed boxes. The deer know his voice and when “Deborah, Deborah, Deborah™ rings out in clear tones they may be seen noiselessly approaching, one by one, from among the trees. Some of the deer the superintendent has named. Among these are Deborah, whose name serves as the dinner call for the herd; Kate, another of his favorites, Charlie, Deborah's offspring, now about a year old, and Teddy, whose horns have started to sprout again. Each year the deer shed their horns and they £row out again in the spring. Last year Teddy had ten ant- lers and this year he will probably have twelve, Bobby Burns, the big ram, has be- come much attached to Mr. Duff and follows him about like a dog. Bobbie is very tame and apparently likes the many attentions he receives from the park visitors as he follows Mr. Duft about. Busy Time in Hatching Line. On top of a slight rise in the deer park is located the poultry hatchery. Here are two white biddies closely guarding their settings of goose eggs. One of the goslings hatched out Sun day afternoon and others were peep- ing in their shells. Both settings numbering about 15 eggs in all are due out by today at the latest. Supt. Duft has also three Japanese silkies on pheasant eggs of the silver and golden varieties and three Rhode Is- land Red biddies are setting on ducks’ eggs of the Muscovy, Perkin and Af- rican varieties, while a Japanese silky has a setting of turkey eggs under her care. Out in the deer park two turkeys have stolen nests. One of the turkeys has a setting of fourteen eggs, but the other setting has not yet been counted. Pair of Reeves' Pheasants, At the inclosed pond the Chinese, African and Canadian geese come in for a good share of attention from the visiters. Around one side of this pond Suptrintendent Duff is having ever- green trees set out so as to form a protection for the birds against the cold winds. The latest acquisition in the bird line is a pair of Reeves pheas- ants, which have been given quarters in one of the large pens. These birds are very beautifully colored and make a valuable addition to the pens. Other birds which may be seen are English Ring Neck pheasants, several pair of silver and golden phéasants and fan- tail pigeons. L, H. Maffit has opened up his stand for the season and recelved a gen- erous sized patronage Sunday. VISITING CLERGYMAN TAKEN BERIOUSLY ILL Rev, G. C. Raynolds Had to Be Re- moved to Backus Hospi Rev. George C. Raynolds of Van, Turkey, who was to have been the speaker at two Norwich churches on Sunday, was taken seriously ill Sun- day morning at the home of Dwight W, Avery at No. 237 West Town street, Norwich Town, where he was a guest while here, and was hurriedly taken to the Backus hospital for treat- ment. At one time Sunday morning his temperature rose to 102 and serious consequences were feared, but the re- port from the hospital by afternoon was that there had been much im- provement in his condition, His ill- ness is from erysipelas. Rev. Mr. Raynolds was to have spoken at the Jirst Congregational church at the morning service and at the Second Congregational church at the evening service, describing the work at Van where there is a new college, for which he is raising funds. Because of the European war he has been unable to return to Turkey, At the First church Rev. J. O. Bar- rows preached at the morning service and at_the Second church, Rev. H. J.

About a dozen other cars that had been ex- pected were unavoidably out of com- mission and could not be used. At the Mohican store on the return trip from Greeneville, Manager Frank G. Aubrey saw to it that oranges were distributed to all the children in the parade, to the great pleasure of the boys and girls in the cars. It was an_enthusiastic lot of riders who made their presence known all along the route as many of them had horns and flags, while youthful spirits made up for the lack of these With their ringing volces. Particularly ex- uberant were the happy groups that road in the trucks furnished by Mr. Brockett, the Hubbard Co., Mr. Clen- dennin and the Norwich state hospi- tal. A number of the automobile driv- ers took the children for extra rides after the parade was over. Among these were the Hubbard truck and L. M.

IF TONGUE COATED GIVE “CALIFORNIA 8YRUP OF FIGS." s Every mother realizes, after giving her children “California Syrup of Figs,” that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with- out griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! 1If coated, give a te: ful of this harmless “fruit la: and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and und gested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again.

Different Than All Other Cities of the Country—City of Large Expense. (Spectal to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., April 25—In a paper recently prepared for the Na- tional Geographic society, former President Taft gives a new view of the nation’s capital, its present situation and the hopes for its future. Accom- panied by the quadri-color drawings of the Fine Arts Commission this rep- resents what is universally conceded here to be the most remarkable por- trayal of a nation’s capital ever pre- pared. In the course of his paper the ex-president says: “I have been deeply interested in the development of Washington ever since as solicitor general I looked out of the windows of the clerk's office of the supreme court, at the Capitol, and stood awestruck by the beauty of that sweep from the Capitol down to the monument, thence to the shining bosom of the Potomac beyond, and across to the Arlington hills. That is now a quarter of a century ago, and my love for Washington and my inter- est in securing from congress the need- ed legislation and appropriations to bring out its incomparable beauties have never abated.” After commenting upon the great natural beauty of the site selected by George Washington for a, building_of the nation’s home of government, Mr. Taft speaks earnestly of the responsi- bilities of the present generation to their first city: “If General Washington, at a time ‘when his country was a little, hemmed- in_nation, boasting but a single sea- board, with a population of only five million, and with a credit so bad that lot sales, lotteries, and borrowing upon ersonal credit had to be resorted to in order to finance the new capital, could look to the future and under- stand that it was his duty to build for the centuries to come and for a great nation, how much more should we do now? “In those days there were men a-plenty in congress and out who bit- terly opposed provisions for the future of the Capital City. To them the old doctrine of letting each generation pro- vide for its own needs outweighed every other consideration: but a grate- ful nation rejoices today that the wisdom of the Father of his Country prevailed, and that the National Cap- ital was built for us as well as for the people of his generation. “If we are grateful that Washington made provision for the century ahead of him, how much the more should we Trolley Center of Eastern Connecticut to which Merchants’ Week Visitors Will Come. - be careful to provide for the century ahead of us!” If the growth of this country con- tinues for another hundred vears at a rate at all commensurate with that maintained in the generation just past, the America of 2015 must have a capital suited to the needs of 260 million people. Thanks to the fore- sight of the founders of the city, all of the elements of a great and magnifi- cent National Capital have been pro- vided for in the original ground plan; and, according to Mr. Taft, the great- est 'danger that Washington faces is that men may come at some time into control of the city's destiny who are not fitted to appreciate or understand all that its capital must mean to the nation, that “little Americans” may work irreparable damage in mistaken economies, and in mistaken concep- tions of the city's nature. The National Capital, by virtue of being the capital, is different from all the other cities of the country, Mr. Taft points out.

They are proud of the city.

While the United States government pays half of the expense of the Capital City, Mr. Taft continues, it must be kept in'mind that the city is in no sense supported for the benefit of the people dwelling with- in_its confines- and. in spite of the half burden assumed by the general government, the remainir~. half is greater than most cities of Washing- ton’s class impose upon_ their people.
