Thayer, who died sud- i denly in Norwich last evening, was a prominent public character at’ one time in the state. He was the nom- i Inee of the democracy for governor i: 1906 and represented his district the statc senate. He was a man of Mmuch ability, but he seems to have shown with greater lustre as a mu. nicipal officer than as a state char- cter, he having served several terms mayor of Norwich and some notable improvements came to that city during his administrations. His constituents thought a great deal about him and he 1 always proved vmrthg of their confl- dence—New Britain Herald. | Believed in the Peopk | _The death of former Mayor Thayer of Norwich means the passing of a !man who played no small part in the | polities of Connecticut during the past i twenty years. Charles F. Thayer was§ ‘a man of ideas. In our judgment Connecticut missed it when she did not draft him for chief executive, But he was too sincere for the controlling element In his party. That party could nominate him when defeat was certain. When it had a chance for victory it yielded to the various pow- erful interests and named a reaction- Former Mayor Thayer gave Nerwich an admirable city mvexn:uaet and was four times its chief executive. No wonder they elected him again and again in a city ordinarily republican. Mr. Thayver's career was typical of New England, He was born in a small town. He attended the public schools. he studied stenography and afterwards law.. He excelled in both. He took to politics as a demo- crat. Living most of his life in a com- munity and section naturally repub- lican, his success is all the more a tribute to his worth and to the juds- ment of the voters. The state senate brought him to the front. He was elected from a repub- lican district in 1890 and was at Hart- ford durin~ the deadlock year. He ran for congress several times in the old Third district, always strongly re- publican. He took an active part in democratic state politics, but was not in good favor with his party’s state machine because he could not be twisted into anything resembling “a corporation man.” He had no influence but his own merit, hence it was that Melbert B, Cary, who belongs in New York, and sleeps in Connecticut, beat him for the nomination for governor in 1902, when the sentiment of the party was- behind him, the manipula- tors defeating him. He was nominated in 1906 but the machine did not want to elect him. He made his own plat- form and it was advanced. In the Yitht of subsequent hapnenings it was_a misfortune that he did not win, He strongly favored that public’ super- vision of publie service corporations that subsequently was approved. The “ influences which opposed this reform ‘were then in control of both the old parties and he had no show.. Former Mayor Thayer's creed was & firm belief in the people. He thought the democratic party was the best me- dium for fl\ll‘ but he lived to realize that its machine sailed at times under false colors and was in reality nothing but an adjunct to the famous republi- can organization. He was a man of strong characteristics, a forceful speaker and thoroughly sincere. He was useful to the community in which he lived and might have been uséful to his state had he Hved in a section where his party had more Bridgeport Post, One of City’s Notable Men. Charles F. Thayer came of stock and it is no wonder he was one of Norwich’s notable men. With bet- ter fortune, or better judgment he might have been one of the country's noted men. He was at one time a conspicuous figure in Cennecticut poli- tics, being regarded as one of the most mective and radical leaders of the dem- ocratic party. At home, for some years, while mayor through -several suceessive terms. he was an arbiter of public affairs and used his position to a high degree of usefulness. There . was nothing very tactful about Mr. Thayer. He was a fighter from start '\ to finish, and by the positiveness of his itions sacrificed much that migl ive been helpful to his personal in- terests. He will be long remembered and with sincere respect, not least, elther, for the quality of his profes- & career as a member of the bar. ~—New London Telegraph. A Shrewd Observer. Mr. Thayer had served in the leg- {slature and had been gldls o S M1 Sl P ‘and pol rs rewdly an intelligently and had the fac af dissecting it 80 that others see thg inner workings. He was one of necticut's most interesting citizens. ~—Hartford Post. i 5 ww i ER GRAY'S SWEET f i | { 'ht | Associate Grand Conductress Norwich Grange Members Subscribe for Shares at $25 Each —Committee That Proposed Plan is Continued as Building Committee—Several Membership- Applications Received—Norwich Grangers Are Out After Big Mem- bership Increase. At its meeting Wednesday evening in Pythian hall Norwich grange, No. 178, Patrons of Husbandry, with Wor- thy Master BE. C. Jewett presiding, heard a report from the special com- mittee appointed over a month ago to consider the plans for acquiring & grange home. In consequence of the report, which was made by the com- mittee chairman, Herbert R. Branche, and which was accepted, it was. voted to go ahead with the plans for estab- lishing a fund with which a home could be secured when the opportune time arrives, This is to be done by taking sub- seriptions to shares of stock at $25 eath. The stock will bear interest at 4 per cent., and as soon as the sub- sctiptions have reached a tota] of $1,000 a corporation will be formed. The members of the grange sub- scribed for shares of stock at the meeting on Wednesday evening, each taking one share. The committee which reported on the plan was thanked and was continued as a building:committee to receive sub- scriptions. Its members are H. Branche, Frank T. Maples, W. O. Rog- ers, E. C. Jeweit, Charles H. Brown, Mrs. Cora Barnes, Mrs. Charles A. Hagberg and Mrs. Nettie B. Fanning, who is the committee secretary. The business part of the meeting was followed by an oyster chowder which was enjoyed by about 80 and was nicely served under direction of the feast committee, consisting of Mrs. Mabel E. George, Mrs. Gertrude Tootill, Miss ‘Anna Frink, Henry M. Coit and Charles Eilis. Brother Jerome Taylor meade an unexpected and pleasing ad- dition to the menu with the gift of a lot of handsome red apples. Music during the banquet was furnished by an orchestra directed by John M. Swahn. A number of applications were re- ceived and others were voted upon, making a good start in the grange pro- gramme for a big increase in meer- ship in the present year. In the social part of the evening, greetings were extended to - Brother Charles S, Peckham, who was present at the meeting, the first that he has attended since disabled by a very. se- rious accident over a year ago, and good wishes were also voiced for Miss Helen B. Moore, a member who is soon to leave on a trip to the Panama- . | Pacific exposition. Among the visitors were members from Bozrah, Preston City and Lyme granges. —— e FIVE YEARS AS BISHOP - OF HARTFORD DIOCESE Anniversary Observed by Bishop Nilan —Norwich Priests Attend. Rev.

The Episcopal church, threugh its board of missions, has launched a campaign to raise $400,000 extra for home and foreign missions before June 1. The church is calling on all of its members to give, in addition to their usual gifts for missions, the equiva- lent of one day’s income or wage. The plan is being pushed in all parts of the country and already more than $79,000 in gifts and pledges has been received, ranging in amounts from two cents to $5,000. This fund, known as “the $400,000 emergency -fund,” is in charge of a committee of prominent bishops, clergy and laymen. Bishop Lines of Newark is chairman. other members of the committee are Bishop David Greer, Philip Rhinelander and Emanuel ‘Thomas, Rev. Dr. Theodore Sedgwick, Rev. Dr. Ernest Stires, Rev. Dr. Reese Alsop, Rev. Dr. Ernest_de F. Miel, George Wharton Pepper, Burton Mans- field, William F. Cochran, George Gor- don King and John W. Wood. Through this committee the board of missions is calling all Episcopalians to prayer and is asking that each ome give at least one day’s income, or some equivalent self denials offering. The response has_been enthusiastic and widespread. Provinces, dioceses, par- ishes, vestries, women’s auxiliaries, men’s clubs, guilds, Bible classes and Sunday schools are working to reach every church member and to bring the campaign to a successful issue. In many instances statewide cam- paigns have been inaugurated. Con- necticut, under the leadership of Bishop C. B, Brewster and the diocesan mis- sionary committee, will do its part in meeting the emergency. Extensive plans have been laid throughout the state, preliminary meetings have been held, and much literature distributed. Next Sunday is the day designated by Bishop Brewster for taking up this special offering. There will be a gen- eral exchange by the Episcopal min- isters on that day and their sermons will be on missions. Other dioceses are planning similar campaigns, notably Pittsburgh, Mains, Bethlehem and Newark. The need for this fund arises part- 1y from the unsettled times brought on by the European war, but mainly by the success of the church’s mission- arles in distant lands such as Japan and China. The mission workers have, in many cases, found great opportuni- ties a ting them; in others, they ‘have created the opportunities and then taken advantage of them, and the missionary society has been called on from year to year to increase its ap- propriations for the work. Consequent- 1y, during the last seven years, the board has accumulated a defi¢it of $254,000. The remaining $150,000 is the amount needed to close the current year without a further deficit. One of the surprises of today is the way in which the world has given to the missionary cause since the out- break of ‘the European war. The Church of England has contributed more than ever before, and five of the missionary socleties of Germany have increased their gifts over last year. They feel that the war constitutes a call for the churches to advance. And the Episcopal church, believing that its members are realizing the blessings of peace, is asking them not to fall be- hind Buropean Christianity in the for- ward move. The responses are rally- ing loyally to the standard, HOSTESS FOR B NATURAL. Miss Marguerite Wulf Entertained Club Her Home.

Almost everyone knows that s-s- Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color aad lustre to the hair when faded, streak: or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound” You will large bottle for about 50 cents. Every- bbdy uses this old, famous recipe, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened Your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, and after another applical gs‘lsm. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick -and glossy and you 100k -Years yQuugern, THE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY SPECIALS Fresh COD, Ib Fresh HADDOCK, Ib. . 4c Fresh FLOUNDERS, Ib. 6¢c Fresh MACKEREL, Ib. 12c Steak COD, Ib. . ....... 10c Fresh, Certified OYSTERS, qt.. .. .- LAMB CHOPS, Ib. 14¢ Fruit-Vegetable Combination 1 peck PQTATOES. . 6 LEMONS. ........ 1 qt.
