SOME MIXER, Governor Holcomb Enjoys the Politico- Sacial Circle. Governor Holcomb, who like Gov- ernor Baldwin, reached the age limit for high judicial position, is of a more social turn than was his predecessor. Governor Baldwin came from his home in New Haven to the state capitol on every legisiative day and returned in the afternoon. During his stay in Hartford he spoke to no one and no one spoke to him, outside of the ex- ecutive office. Not so with Governor Holeomb, who smokes cigars and min- gles with the legislators. He is at his office every day while the legisiature is in session, and is in the Allyn house corridor every night, when not off on some social function. He presides at the polito-social circle, enjoys the stories and keeps up his end of the sociability. As the midnight hour nears he, with other friends, takes a light lunch, and is on hand in the morning to greet his companions of the night before. Just because he hap- pens to be governor has not changed the size of his hat, ah@ he takes pleas- ure in mingling with the common peo- vle, so to_speak. WEDDINGS. Zachar—Kootz.

F. Lester, W. F. Bailey, Jr., and T. E. Babcock for Councilmen—Will- iam Caruthers for City Treasurer and A. G. Crowell for City Clerk. The following ticket for tha city election in June was nominated at the republican caucus Monday evening In the town hall: For Aldermen. Casper K. Bailey. Louis H. Geer, For Counciimen. ‘William S, Murray. ‘Walter F. Lester. William_F. Bailey, Jr. Telley E. Babcock. For City Treasurer. ‘William Caruthers, For Tax Collector. Thomas A. Robinson. Far City Clerk, Arthur G. Crowell. For City Sheriff. George W. Rouse. Charles W, Burton. For Water Commissioner. Albert S. Comstock. There were about 75 men in the hall when Frang H. Smith, town commit- tee chairman, called the meeting to or- der at 8 o’'clock and Andrew B. Davies nominated A. A. Browning for chair- man of the caucus. He was elected and took the chair amid applause. He addressed the caucus and said that he thanked them for the honor they had given him as it was a pleas- ure to preside at a republican caucus. As we review events of the past months since any previous city meet- ing or caucus, there seem to be some things that have been settled and set- tled for good. In the first place it seems to be settled that the city of Norwich is not to enlarge its cor- porate limits and is not to take in any other section without the wish of that section itself. This seems to be es- tablished as the pelicy of the city of Norwich for years to come. Then again We are not to become two towns. That seems to have been settled at least for our lifetime. Considering the advan- tages that the opposition had at the outset, we can certainly consider this a great achievement to have settled this in the way that it has been set- tled and this seems to have been fixed and will stay fixed during our genera- tion, The offices for which nominations are to be made at this caucus are im- portant ones, said Mr. Browning. They include half the common council and the party carrying the election now will probably carry the election one! year hence and so determine the pol- iey of the city government. The other offices for which nominations are to be made are also important, Sometimes it is said that national politics should not be carried into lo- cal elections, but that can't be done and it isn't dome. One reason why is that the party carrying local elec- tion is pretty likely to carry the na- tional election and we are not willing vet to admit that Norwich is per- manently democratic, but we believe it still has good men in it, good repub- licans, whom we will nominate and Who We expect to see din the offices. ‘Whatever swing we see in the state, has been toward the republican side and the results in Meriden and Hart- ford show this. Mr. Browning spoke of the pro- gressives, who, he said, bad made their great effort and had failed and we must admit, speaking in all kindness, that they had essentially gone into defeat. The struggle was still between the twe old parties and the best hope for the progressives was with the re- publican party, Referring to the last town election last fall, Mr. Browning said there was much in its results for the encour- agement of republicans for the party had elected good, strong candidates and whether their names were Barnes, Henderson or Bailey, they had all made themselves felt and had proved worthy members of the party and of the support of their constituents. Chairman Browning was several times applauded and when he had con- cluded his short speech he called for nominations for clerk. James W. Blackburn nominated Town Clerk Charles S. Holbreok, and this popular official was applauded he went for- ward to the desk. Mr{ Holbrook read the call for the caucus. Nominations. The places on the ticket were filled by acclamation votes. Frank H. Smith nominated for al- derman Casper K. Bailey, and James €. Fitzpatrick nominated Louis H. Geer f(&r second alderman. Both were elect- ed. Nominations for councilmen follow- ed. Willlam S. Murray was nominated by Edward Crooks, Walter F. Lester by Henry H. Pettis, William F. Bailey, Jr., by Frank H, Smith, and Telley E. Babcock by Judge Nelson J. Ayling. Allyn L. Brown arose to make the nomination for city treasurer, saying that he wished to offer the name of one of the best known men in Nor- wich, one who had long served as a public offictal and in that capacity his experience would fit him for city treas- urer. When he named William Caru- thers, the former postmaster, the name ‘was vigorously applauded. F. J. Leavens said it gave him pleas- ure to second the nomination of Mr. Caruthers and he believed every man in the hduse would be glad to seccmé the nomination. The nominee was on: who had been a valued official to the government and a friend to many in the city and was deserving of the full- est_support. Thomas A. Robinson was nominated for tax collector by James C. Fitz- patrick. Andrew B. Davies nominated Arthur G. Crowell for city clerk, stating that he was a man who had filled the office well once before and would fill it well again. For city sheriffs George W. Rouse and Charles W. Burton were nominated and elected. For water commissioner Frank H. Smith nominated@ A. S. Comstock, say- ing that he was one who had filled the office for a number of years with great credit to the party. Mr. Comstock arose to state that he was not a candidate, but he was elect- ed, nothwithstanding. After a vote empowering the town committee to fill any vacancies occut- ring on the ticket, the caucus adjourn- ed after a session of 24 minutes. CITY COURT MATTERS, Porsonal Tax Adjusted—Intoxication Charges and Evading Carfare. At the Monday morning session of the city court Frank Harty accuséd of failing to pay-his personal tax after the matter had been suspended to sive him_time, adjusted matters by paying the bill. ‘William Dinker, charged with making trouble in his family, arrived at court after Judge Kelly had left his seat and so could not be tried. His case will come up in the city court today. As his bondsman did not wish to_continue surety he was locked up. Two dollars and costs was the fine imposed on M. Kelley of Waltham and Fred Maher of Providence, for intox- ication and both went to jail. For evading carfare John Bakish patd $5 and costs, and ¥Frank Reynolds of Montville went to jail as he could not pay a fine of $2 and costs for Crunicenness. On the same charge James E. Cowan of Providence was fined $2 and costs and is now in jail FORECLOSURE GRANTED. In Montville Case in Commen Pleas Court—Taftville Case Was Tried. The foreclosure suit of Elizabeth B. Huntington of Norwich against John Piotrowski and others, of Montville, was heard by Judge Waller at a ses- sion of the court of common pleas on Monday morning. The property con- sists of a farm and the mortgage is $309.50. A decree of foreclosure was granted. The court took the papers in the case of Raymond Chartier of Taft- ville vs. Ralph H. Urban of Boston, formerly of Taftville. Chartier claimed that Urban agreed to buy the market for $500 and was to pay $100 on the first instalment. It is claimed Urban put up $3 to bind the bargain, but that he did nothi more. Urban claims that Chartier fail- ed to give a bond to show what he owned in the store, and he found out that Chartier did not own all the tools in the market. Lawyers James and Libby argued the case. Court will come in on Saturday. AT DAVIS THEATER. Vaudeville and Phatoplays. In The Lady Minstrels, Mike Sacks and Co. put on a performance Monday at the Davis theater that made the vaudeville bill a winning attraction.

The solo work and the choruses were all tuneful numbers sung with spirit and the dancing that went with them was of the kind to please. On the movie screen were pictures of the Lusitania, the Mutual War ‘Weekly and a Keystone comedy. At National Conference.

Some weeks ago Mr. Rabinovitch’s dry goods store in Greeneville was damaged by fire and he received 3792 insurance money. After the fire he went into bankruptcy. He an dhis daughter were examined in order to discover what be- came of the insurance money. The witness told the court'that he gave his daughter Dolly $250 and an- other daughter, Sadie, $230, and speat $200 for goods, the balance going for minor matters. The money was paid, he stated, to daughters for back wages. He claimeq that his son Nathan, who was not in business with him, owned the two best horses and that he owned the poorest one himself. Dolly said she had expended the $250 she received for various articles and that the court had the privilege of vis- iting her home and looking them over, but all_she could specifically mention was a 10 cent pin.

In a particularly pleasant way, the ‘Norwich Art Students’ association ob- served its 20th anniversary on Monday afternoon with a reception and luncheon at the Norwich club, attended by about 76 present and former members of the association. The luncheon was at 1.30, but was preceded by an informal reception at which Miss Nancy E, Lucas, presi- dent of the association received, Music was furnished by a string orchestra. of nine of the Academy girls. Pink and white was the color scheme for the luncheon decorations, which were in charge of Mrs. Ozias Q and were gracefully carried out pink and white dogwood, pink swa.mn apple blossoms and wild honeysuckle, with wistaria. Small bouquets of lilies of the valley were at each place and the hand-colored programmes were dainty and artistic. The cover design was by Miss Parker, a scholarship pupil, and the cover was a picture of the Slater Memorial with the dates 1895-1915. The following was the menu: Fruit Co Clam_Bouillon Olives Chicken Croquettes Creamed Potatoes Creamed Peas Jelly Roll Jellied Asparagus Salad Ice Cream in Fancy Forms Cake Coffee Miss Lucas presided in an able way for the programme that followed, in which the welcome was given by Miss Alice Cogswell and the response by Miss Nancy M. Pond. Miss Nancy Lucas dtreated of the first twelve years of the Art associa- tion, reading the paper which she gave at the luncheon on the 12th anniver- sary. The last eight years were interest- ingly described by Mrs. Robert W. Per- kins who spoke of the scholarships which have been given and of the de- velopment of the docent worlk which has been such a notable feature of the present year. Miss Alice V. V. Brown, now of Wellesley, had for her subject Some Thoughts Upon the Relation of Small Communities to Art Development, tell- ing her hearers that the Norwich asso- ciation was already at work upon two lines which she would have suggested, but the third was that an association of such size should enlist the commun- ity more generally and at such a gath- ering as this have the mayor and other representative personages pres- ent. The Graphic Arts in Reproduction wa the subject discussed in an espe- cially instructive and interesting way, and after his address Miss Trumbull read letters from a number of persons who had been invited b could not attend. Among these was one from Harry W. Kent, former curator of the Slater Memorial, but now of the Met- ropolitan Museum of Art in New York, who wrote in admiration of what the Norwich association was doing in the docent work and mentioned that he had met William A. Slater in Wash- ington, who had spoken to him of the way he was keeping in touch with the *h association. pon motion of Mrs. William B. Birge, a rising expression of greeting ven to a former presideat, Miss McG. Aiken, whe could not be sent at this anniversary. Miss Edith R. Abbott of the Metro- politan Museum interested all present in her description of docent werk as it is carried cn in New York. There it is along somewhat differeat lines than in this city, but she said that she though! ston, Providence, Worcester and Norwich were the furthest ad- vanced in the lines which they follow. Bookbinding was the subject for an entertaining talk by Mrs. Charles W. Noyes, who said that she believed she had one of the oldest established pri- vate book binderies in the country, and she mentioned some of the high prices at which rare books are valued, one of $5,000 having gone down on the Titanic and another sold ten years aso at 00 sold recently at In one high school in New York she said book binding was taught. Mrs. Guy W. man's subject was Ten Minutes to Mercury, in which she mentioned some of the work that had been done in the Norwich hool, and she was followed by Principal nry A. Tirrell, who was given en- tifusiastic applause as he developed in an entertaining way his subject of Teaching an Art. The delightful observance of the an- niversary was concluded et 6 o'clock.
