Secretary of War Garrison has seen fit to officially commend the Connecti- cut Coast Artillery corps. This official commendation of the corps comes to Col. Henry S. Dorsey, commanding officer, in a communication from Brig- adier General Mills. General Mills sent this official letter to Brig. Gen. George M. Cole, adjutant general of the Connecticut National guard, who in turn sent it to Colonel Dorsey in New London. General Mills #ald that he was writing this letter at the direction of the secretary of war. The artillery corps is commended for police, discipline and attendance at drills. There are threee paramount factors in the conduct of any military body, and much stress is laid upon them by regular army officers. The secretary of war is moved to such a course by the reports of Capt. F. T. Dengler, U. 8. A, inspection in- structor of the Connecticut corps, based on the recent state encampment at Fort Wright. The Connecticut corps has recelved much commendation of late from per- sons qualified to pass upon its merit. Lots of hard work and no frills have made the corps one of the best militia bodies in the country. BAND WAS WILLING BUT RAIN SAID NO. Concert Had To Be Postponed Once More—Will Try Again. Rain and band concerts seem to have a peculiar affinity for each other in Norwich this summer. We've forgot- ten how many times the music has been omitted now on account of a dismal downpour, but it happened the night of the first concert last June, and it occurred again last night. In between, the favorable opportunities for John Swahn and his sounding brass and tinkling cymbals have been about fifty-fifty. In a word, it hasn't been a band concert summer, Not that the band has been wanting in the least. They have practiced as- siduoysly and almost any night one could hear melcdies down on She- tucket street. They have made the most of their chances, and then—the summer isn’t over yet. In fact, while there isn't much reason for it, we be- lieve the summer’s just beginning. Not the heat and the mugginess and the wilted collar part—that's all gone; but the band concert weather, that's just about to start, and if the frosts hold off, and the postponements are playgd, and the city’s money holds out, we'll be able to have music pretty nigh on to Thanksgiving. FUNERAL. Lewis Norton Stevens. The body of Lewis Norton Stevens, whose funeral was held Thursday af- ternoon at his home in Westbrook, was brought to this city on the 12.16 train Friday noon, and burial was in Yantic cemetery. Rev. G. W. Eastland of the Westbrook Methodist Episcopal church read a committal service at the grave, and the bearers were six friends of the deceased from _that place. There were many beautiful flowers. Church & Allen were in charge of the funeral arrangements. The New Haven Register states that Mr. Stevens was a splendid specimen of manhood and_was apparently in perfect health. Wednesday while at- tending. to his bees they made an at- tack upon him and for safety, he ran to the cellar of his house, which was nearby. He had scarcely reached the foot of the steps when he fel to the floor, and expired in a few minutes. Apoplexy was given as the cause of death. / OBITUARY. Mrs. Joseph Murphy. After a short illness, Mary Sulli- van, widow of Joseph Murphy, died at the age of 77 years Thursday after- noon at her home, 116 Sachem street. She had passed almost all her life in this city. Her marriage took place in St. Mary’s church on June 23, 1868. Her husband died April 16, 1903, and their only daughter, Mrs. James A. Kehr, died several years ago. One sis- ter, Miss Hannah Sullivan, with whom she lived, survive: Will Open Section of Stonington Road In regard to roads in Stonington, au- tomobile clubs of the state have made this announcement: On Saturday, Aug. 7, a section of road through Stoniggton, past the ‘Stonington manor, 1 be open for travel.

Already two meetings of mer- chants have been held to talk over plans for this event, and the outlook is most promising for ths biggest mer- cantile achievement in the history of the city. There is today in Norwich a spirit of co-operation among the mer- chants which, if properly fostered, will be helpful in many ways and will eventually place Norwich in the posi- tion which is rightfully hers, that of being recognized as the natural t.r-.dln& center for all of the territory- east the Connecticut river. A meeting of the committee on or- ganization for Dollar Day was held Thursday and the members decided to visit every merchant in the city who has not attended any of the prelim- inary meetings and invite them to en- list in this movement to make Norwich i EEEEEE E and Embalmers 337 MAIN STREET Oppesite Post Offica.

Norwich Merchants! You are preach- ing the doctrine of “trading with the Home Merchants” and spreading car- toons in the columns of the daily pa- pers. Here is your chance to talk di- rectly to the 40,000 people who will attend the fair. Put a stand in the Exhibition hall and appeal directly to the people. You want them to trade at Home. Show them what wares you have. Out of town merchants are clamoring for this space. In order that Norwich merchants should have first choice, this floor space has been put in the hands of Mr. R. C.

During the recent period of bad tasting city water one Norwich resi- dent, who is an engineer, turned his Stearn heater into a distilling plant and drew pure water from his hall radiator. He has kept it up ever since, making it a practice to light up the fire every few days and distill water to carry the family along for three or_four days. This was all well enough until it happened that one of his distilling days came last week during the 100 in the shade spell. Then the family hardly appreciated having the hall radiator up to winter heat. This week, however, the steam heat has not been so unwelcome.
