Utter to Attend Meeting of Republican State Central Commit- tee—Christmas Gifts for Employes of Textile Company —Sudden Death of Lucy E. Maxson. Westerly lodge of Elks, recently no-|good in Westerly as that of a year tified by the owners of the Champlin |ago. block, John F, and George A. Champ- lin, that the premises must be vacat- cd by January 1, would, if they com- plied with the notice, be homeless. It is planned to devote all the building above the stores, to accommodate the increasing telephone business. ot course, the Elks do not propose to vacate by the time specified, and per- haps not_for several months there- after. ‘When the building was con- structed, the third floor was specially arranged for the Eiks and they have been the tenants ever since, and their removal elsewhere means a blg ex- pense. They must move, however, as the owners of the building have so ordered, but not this week, as the law provides for just such a case as this. In the meantime a committee of the order is busied in endeavoring to se- cure scme suitable substitute for the well-equipped rooms in the Chaplin block. At the present time there is no available place in the town for the big organization. It is understood ne- gotiations are pending for a lease of the top story of the Hinckley-Mitchell butl but it is doubtful of consum- mation. The owners of the building occupied in part by the Willard store, have offered to add another story to the building, and rent it to the Elks, but the project has its drawback, as a very long lease is required. 0w the committee is seriously con- sidering the purchase of a real Elks' home in Westerly, by purchasing some large private residence, that can be veadily utilized for social purposes, and with ample room for the addition of a lodze room, bowling alleys, bil- liard room, etc. = So, just at the resent time the matter is unsettled, it the Elks propose to remain 1in present quarters just as long as, the law permits, and are not jarred by the siatement that the owners will take possession January 2, and commence the conversion of the lodge room into a telephone exchange. The members of the republican state central committes will be the guests on Monday next of Chairman Joseph P. Burlingame, at the Crown hotel, at Providence.

KATHERINE LANZ Room 22, Shaomon Bullding el F43-B. (Take Elevator) SERV-US MINCE MEAT Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and currants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 vears and today Is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the Dest flavored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should land should not he used and in this manner the anticle comes to the house- wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince ple. The old idea of airt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few ples made which can be used as handily by the house- wife as mince meat for all it requires is o little water and being heated for ten minutes angd it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her eantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect. ‘ed company aud it will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good. For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish. Fach year for the last ten our factory has had to increasc its capacity during the summer months untll today it runs very day of ths vear with a regular force of helpern. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire year. This of courso means n great increaso in the use of these goods over whon mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in- creased sale over the former winter consumption. THE L. A.

IN NGRWICH FIFTY YEARS AGO First Steps Taken Towards Organization of Young Men’s | Association—Congregational Churches Take Up Col- lections Amounting to Over $2500 for Church Work in the South and West—Death of Amos H. Hubbard, One of the Oldest Business Men of the City. Just half a century ago this week preliminary steps were taken towards the organization of an association for young men of this city, when a meet- ing was held, H. E. Bowers presiding, and organization committee appointed, one to draft a constitution and by-laws and another to induce the young men of Norwich to enroll as members. The shipyard at Thamesville was then in operation and at that time a vessel of 600 tons burthen was belng constructed for J. M. Huntington & company. In 1865 this was considered the largest vessel ever built in Nor- wich and was destined for a freight lite to some southern port when com- pleted. Interesting gleanings from the files of The Norwich Morning Bulletin of December, 1865, are as follows: Monday, Dec. 18, 1865.—Rev. Samuel Hopley of the Congregational church at Windham has received a call from the Congregational churches in this city to settle here as city missionary at a salary of $1,400 per annum. His duties will be to look after the various city mission schools and the poor of the city generally. In. all the large cities of the state there is such an offi- clai and they have proved efficient both in ascertaining real cases of distress and In exposing fraudulent claims of irupostors. William S. Hempstead hav- ing donated a room on Boswell ave- nue to the Broadway church, that church will at once establish a mission school there on the same plan as the Mount Pleasant school. Contributions were taken up in the Congregational churches Sunday, to- wards raising a_ fund of $200,000 for the American Congregational Union, to be used for the bullding of church. es South and West. The Broadway church raised $1160 and the Second Congregational church over $1500. In each of these churches there was one $1000 contribution.
