Lady Assistant Cannon Scrap. Next to the local alumn! of Wesleyan university, Middletown, the man In Norwich who takes the greatest inter- est in the recent student vote to abolish the annual cannon scrap, at midnight on Washington’s Birthday, 18 Dr. J. H. Allen, of 76 Church _street. Dr. Allen has in his possession & valu- able cane of cocoanut wood, _sfiver mounted, which was ted him by the Class of 1908 for his aid in secret- ing the historic cannon, early in 1904. Suggested By A. E. Gard During that year Mrs. Allen’s cousin, Andrew E. Garde, of Cornwall, who is a brother of Mrs. Walter E. Canfield and Miss Emily Garde, of Geer place, Was a member of the freshman class at Wesleyan. This class always _gets busy months in advance of Washing- ton’s Birthday to find a _secure hiding place for the historic Douglags can- non, =o that it_may not fall into the possession of the sophomores. whose design 1t Is to prevent the freshmen getting the gun o nto the campus, at midnight, and keeping it there for fif- teen minutes, in deflance of the higher class. Eariy in 1904, at the suggestion of Mr. Garde, the big gun was dismem- bered, the tube sent to Mrs. Allen’s brother, Christopher G. Newbury, of Waterford, and the bulky carriage, wheels and all, forwarded from Mid- dletown to Dr. Allen’s home, then on Laurel Hill avente. The strange, cof- fin-like box caused much comment as it was unloaded and delivered; but no- body got an inkling as to its con- tents. Hid With Great Secrecy. A portion of it was secreted during | the dead of night, in the attic of the house, the remainder being hidden in the barn. With equal secrecy, Mr. Newbury took care of his portion of the cannon. As this famous gun ‘was once carried as far away as Denver by the fresh- men, who were determined that the sophomores should not get hold of it, search was made in every possible quarter for the missing field piece, but to no avail. It reposed snugly in its Norwich hiding place until wanted by Mr. Garde, and was triumphantly rushed by him and his classmates on HAS SQUVENIR OF HIDING CANNON = Dr. J. H.

It was following out the recommend- ation of the college senate that the student body at Weslevan recently voted to abolish the cannon scrap which has been an institution at the college for the past twenty-two years: Though there were many Who opposed the idea the vote swung in support of abolition and the scrap which was the_expectation of every red-blooded student in the two lower classes will not be held this year. Some other contest will be substituted in place of the cannon ecrap in another vear, but this season will see no provision made for any other battle between the un- dergraduates. Beginning in 1884 it has been the custom at th university to hold the contest between the two lower classes. No Serious Accidents. In all the years that the contest has been going on there has not been a single accident of fatal nature, though there have keen frequent minor in- jurles. g The recent death of a student in th Pen: State university during one of these class battles hastened the de- cision of the senate which would oth- erwise have been for abolition next year, but under the circumstances it was' thought advisable to do away with the danger before some serious result occurred. Tho two classes will be reimbursed for any expenditures which may have been made in expectation of the scrap and it is likely that an attempt will be made to buy the Douglass cannon from the owners for a college trophy or decoration, which ever may be de- termined upon.

The Value of Humble Occupations was the topic upon which Rev. Charles H. Ricketts spoke at the Y. M. C. A. shop talk at the plant of the Rich- mond Radiator company at noon on Wednesday. Rev. Mr. Ricketts sald that from the very earliest times there has been a disposition more or less, to look with contempt on manual la- bor. At the outset of human history Wwhen everybody worked with his hands this feeling did not exist. As time passed men of ability in faver- able positions for acquiring wealth and power began to look down upon the less favored. The next step was class distinction which built up an aristocracy. The great question concerning us is mot whaat one class of society thinks of another but what God thinks of us both, Is it not something _ amusing how often in the course of history, God has come down to humble 6ceu- pations for men to carry out his great purposes! God calls men to do things who al ready seem to have enough to do. We do the same. We never ask the eld- ers to do community work or church work. It is only the busy man who is capable of doing more work. Secondly, God somehow seems to pre- fer men in lowly occupations. The list of moderns honored by Jehover is appalling. Carey, called from a cobbler’s bench to be one of the great names in the missionary life in India. David Livingstone from a cot- ton mill to a great career in Africa; Tsrael Putpam from the plow in Wind- ham county to a general. Why shoul man in his foollsh pride ever look upon manual labor with con- tempt if God so honors it. Have we not made mistakes in the past by dlviding occupations in sacred and secular. Isn't every decent occupa- tion sacred? Ts one any more so than the other? It is alwavs the man back of the occupation that fixes its char- acter. Just what do we mean by “holy calling?” Doesn’t God call men to be iron workers as well as ministers; and 2 good steam heater has more worth than a poor sermon. My definition of 2 holy calling is this: Any occupation into which a man pours his very soul, and the human soul is the holiest thing on earth. In closing Rev. Mr. Ricketts sald there are four ways in which the value of humble occupations are seen and they are as follows: 1. They teach us humanity and we il need it. The most incurable of known diseases is pride. Quinine has no effect upon it. The doctors know how to treat swollen limbs, but only the Almighty knows how to reduce a swollen head. When sudden riches come men do mot know how to use them, and when they go they do not know how to act. We know what it is to be humbied, but wo do not know how to be humble: it is easier to break than to men 2. Humble work is better than fdle- ness. Satan has a cinch on idlers, but it seems to puzzle the Almighty what to do with them. Men may go through the motions of work and still be {dlers. Today there are men in the workshaps, in business, scholars n the high sohool — and some teachers, too, T imagine — who wouldn't bring more tkan five cents in the open mar- ket because . they are dwadlers — not workers. 3. Nothing i= more enervating baving no useful occupation. 4. Congenial Jabor creates a field favorable for the production of great thoughts and deeds. Chlld Died While on Visit. Mary Jarvis, 5 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Leon Jarvis, of New Lon- don, died Tuesday afternoon after a briaf illness at the home of Philip Mc- Cormicls, in Stonington, where she had ‘been visiting. As the child died with- out the atentlon of a physician, Medi- cal Examiner Stanton was notified. He found that death was due to congestion of the lungs. than I have brought with them all their cholcest treasures of our grandmothers’ time. Music of the Old Days. Music seemed to be one of the things proper, to teach young ladies in those days dnd they favored the rest of the company with the songs, Flow Gently, Sweet Afton, Yankee Doodle, Annie Laurle and’ Auld Leng Syne. The members of the chorus were Mrs. William H. Allen, Miss Phebe H. Brewster, Mrs. Louis A. Wheeler, Mrs. George C. Preston, Mrs. Charles _W. Prentice, Mrs. Augustus Sullivan, Mrs. George L. Ingalls, Mrs. F. Leon Hitch- ins, Mrs. Louis T. Cassidy and Miss Annie E. Vaughn, piano, Mrs. Allen also sang a very old English song The Oak and the Ash, and Eileen Aroon. Other young ladies of olden time showed their lessons in_housewifery by assisting the hostess later in pro- viding the company with doughnuts and cheese and hot coffee. Mrs. Hugh H. Osgood and Mrs. Ed ward J. Graham poured and the walt- resses were Mrs. Louis M. Crandalift Mrs. Roy D. Judd, Miss Hatte Carter, ana Miss Mildred Rogers. The paper on Needlework by Mrs. Uigby spoke at length of the patch- worls quiits of those days and of the home made counter-panes, the samp- lers, the mourning pieces made after Washington’s death, tambour work and bobbin lace. This last was quite rare. Needlework was taught at home or school and the book of in- structions began with plain sewing and then shawed fancy stitches for -em- broidery. Samplers served a similar purpose when books were costly and later showed the owner’'s skill. Tn the needlework exhibit collected from chapter members and a few others, by Mrs. Amos A. Browning and Miss Sarah L. Tyler, were several fine old samplers. One of these, made in 1834 showed the Uv‘lvsrl.l.lllt ehurch. This was loaned by Mrs. Willam H. ‘Thompson. Ribbon 90 Years Old. Among the pleces of beautiful old embroidery were caps, handkerchiefs, lace collars, a cape and a vandyke owned by Miss Sarah L. Tyler and her sister. Also a piece of gduze ribbon 80 years old. Mrs. Edward J. Hunt showed 2 cap, embroidered collars and sllk stockings worn in 1761. Mrs. Hugh H. Osgood and Mrs. E. C. Miner had baby caps and other articles and Mrs. Elisha E. Rogers, some _eyelet embroldery. Mrs. Amos A. Browning loaned some ‘crewel work and drap- erles, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Davis some fringe made about 1772 and Miss Ma- bel A. Crandall two bead bags and a work bag 75 years old. Mrs. Nelson D. Robinson had five pieces of fine embroidery. The Misses Geer showed old fashioned bead work and other pieces of nice needlework. Miss Eliza W. Avery also showed a crewel worlk bag of Revolutionary time and several embroidered articles. There was also quite a display of old china, loaned by various members. There was old blue ware, pink decorated china, and many other pleces. . From Norwich Pottery. Mrs. Elisha E. Rogers and Miss Ma- bel A. Crandall had charge of an in- teresting collection of old silver, pew- ter and pottery, the last all made in Norwich. Two wooden trenchers and a bowl were preserved from the time | when only wood and pewter articles were used. There was a large ex- hibit of pewter shown by Mrs. B. P. Bishop, Mrs. H. H. Osgood, Mrs. Geo. W. Lane, Miss Crandall, Mrs. J. O. Landon. Miss Geer. Besides the fiat silver shown by Mrs. William H. Al- len, Mrs. E. J. Hunt, Miss Tyler. and others. there was shown a _porringer of 1748, a tea set of 1749 and six other pleces ‘shown by Miss Hannah Rip- ley, and a cup by Mrs. B. P. Learned. Mrs. E._E. Rogers let the china, pewter and silver speak for themselves and devoted her paper to the old pot- terles of Norwich. The first _ was started by Leffingwell near the Yantic river sbove Harland’s corner. The second was Andrew Tracy’s pottery at Bean Hill, where the Saxton Woolen mills are now. The third was near the Yantic river bridge. just across from Avery Brothers. The fourth was on the West Side at Cove street, near High street.

GAMEBLING PARAPHENALIA MADE INTO KINDLINGS. New London Judge' Ordered It Des- troyed — Chopped Up by State Po- 1 In the police court at New London on Wednesday morning, Judge Willlam B. Coit passed the order to destroy all the paraphenalia seized In the gambling raids of a week ago, Wed- nesday afternoon the state police were busy with axes and hatchets demol- ishing it all. When the state officers had finished their hatchet party, all that remained of the roulette wheels, crap tables, poker tables and faro lay- outs was a heap of kindling wood, which was packed in barrels and sent about the city into homes of the poor for fuel. There was no way of arriving at an exact statement of the value of the gambling equipment that was des- iroved by the state officers, but it wotld_probably total $3,000. The money seized in the raids was turned over to Attorneys John C. Geary and George C. Morgan, coun- sel for the proprietors of the gambling houses. These sums were $96 taken in Lewls Montague's place ~in Bank street, $54.70 seized in John Bir- mingham's rooms in Green street, and $108.20 taken from James Lee's Union League club in the Bacon bloclk No money was found when the place of James Parkman in the Bacon block was raided.
