The following, a fair sample of the short ones, may interest the readers of The Bulletin: When the Mask Drops Off. Some day at Heaven’s door Our souls will waiting stand, For the pearly gates to swing ajar By the touch of an angel's hand.

Unkindness in words or deeds, Every sneer and every scoff, ‘Will be growing there, like noxious weeds Wherx‘n the-magk we have worn drops off. Our. wondering souls will gaze Into the mirror of Truth, Anad be filled with sad amage, Beholding the pictured proof Of our misdeeds—mistakes— Which gladly we would doff; But the record written, no soul es- capes ‘When the mask we have worn drops off.

[qer ylinder Buick was Backed Into Central Fire Station Late Deputy Chi ef’s Runabout Arrives Wednesday Afternoon—Machine was . Contracted For By New Fire Commissioners—Department Now Has Three Pieces of Motor Driven Apparatus. —— A six cylinder Buick runabout for the use of Deputy Chief Edward 5. Stinsor was turned over to the Nor- wich fire dspartment on Wednesday, and late Wednesday afternoon was backed into the Cen:ral fire station on Chestnut straet, This is the latest addition to the fire department, making the third plece of motor driven appa- vatus owned by the department. The mechine has not yet been ac- cepted by the fire comruissioners, George H. Loring, Casper K. Balley and Edward Crooks. It was contracted for by the fire commissicners, who were, appointed when the new council or- ganized in June, and was one of the Grst matters they took up after thelr appointment. In keeping with the other apparatus owned by the department, the run- about is painted a bright red. On either side of the hood are the words Nor- wich Fire Department, in gil lettering, and on the doors appear the words Deputy Chief, also gilt lottering, The machine ls a six cylinder 1917 model, and will be fully eduipped with two threa-gallon fire extingulshers, sot in nickel plated eups on ihe running boards, two electric lanterns, getach- able, wo that they may be used inside buildings, an axe, rope, etc, There i§ an extra non-skid tire with the car and it will also have a siren. The electric lanterns which the runabout will carry are of the latest type and are manu- factured by a Dayton, O., concern. Thcg carry two dry cells, & large lamp an are compact. Lanterns of this type can be used in smoke, however dense, Whereas ofl lanterns are kept lighted only with great difficulty, and often go out just when they are most needed. The runabout is equipped with @ black cover, bright electric headlights and a self starter. UNKNOWN MAN KILLED BY FREIGHT CAR. Thought to Have Been Resting On Trucks And to Have Fallen Under Wheels. An unknown man was crushed. to death on a siding at the Central Ver- mont railroad station, Wednesday aft- ernoon. About 120 o'clock 4 cars were placed on the siding opposite the Industrial building. About 2 they were removeq by an _engine end tnen the mangled body of a ‘man was found. It is thought that the man was resting on rhe trucks and when the cars were moved, he fell under the wheels. There was nothing found to show identifica- tion. Medical Examiner Gildersleeve was cailed_and Chief Linton notified Cor- oner Brown." Undertaker Hourigan was given per- j mission to remove the body.

Over 100 Students Have Made Appli- cation to Trustees For Assistance. second, junjor Br rd ece. Many calls for assistance from the gene Aiwood fund have been re- :d by the trustees, Maj. Hadiai A. Hull and C. H. Hull. The fund which was founded by Fugene Atwood of Stonington is for the purpose of help- g worthy girls and boys in their ef- forts to obtain an_ education. Over a hundred students have applied for d, and it is anticipated that about one-quarter of that number will be aided by the fund. In many cases, the amount needed by the student will be very small as there are many ways by which boys and girls may earn money at school, thus helping to de- fray the expenses incurred. The fund is not only for the sut- dent who may wish to attend college but for the needy boy or girl of any¥ age who is ambitions and worthy. It is expected that the final arrange- ments as to the actual number of per- sons to be aided by the fund for the coming school term will be made within the coming weel. GIRLS' CLUB RESUME MEETINGS AFTER RECESS Membership Campaign to be Launched in the Near Future. The Norwich Girls club held_their frst meeting after a recess during the summer, Tuesday evening at their rooms in the Thayer building.

The regular offi- cers of the club had charge of the meeting and concluding the business refreshments were served by the eo- cial committee. In order to obtain more members a membership cam- paign has been started with two teams, - «Fifth Company Drill. The new federal law regarding the militia requires 48 drills during the year.

Judge Willlam B, Coit Tuesday morning overruled a demurrer entered in behalf of Irene Morgan Sevigney by Attorney Morrls Lubchansky, who auppeared in court, ou u charge of stealing a gold watch and chain and $3 in money from Simon Ficks Tues- day night. Probable cause was found in the court and the woman was bound over to the next term of the superior eriminal court which opens in this clty today, in bonds of $230, which were furnished, It is charged by Ficks that he met the Scvigney woman early Tuesday evening. An acquaintance sprong up between them and they spent some- time together in a park. After they had_separtated for the evening, Ficks is alleged to discoverea that his watch and money wer ng. . He reported his loss to Police Sergt, Benjamin A. Beebe and at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning the latter accom- panled Ficks to th: apartment of the Sevigney woman at 23 Moore ave- nue, where it is alleged the watch and chain were found in a bureau drawer. The money was not recovered. Mrs. Sevigney was placed under arrest up: on the complaint of F and taken | to police heacquarters by Sergeant | Beebe and Patrolman O’Donnell. The woman told Acting Prosecuting Attorney Smith that she found the watch bencata the bench on which they had been sitting in the park. She diaclaimed all knowle of any mon- ey, which the complainant zlleges he lost. A particularly pitiful phase of the case is the fact that if the wcman is sentenced to jail, her four-y daughter will be left upon #he cies of the world. Attorney confessed to the court tha was in a quandary as to the disposition of the child, in the event of the mother bein gsentenced, for there is no insti- tution in this state for children under five year§ of age. SECURE EVIDENCE TO PRESENT AGAINST KETTLE. Police Investigating Carcer of Man Arrested in White Slavery Case. dward Kettle, last day afternoon by imar Hammond on a white slaver and owho will be o pr earing T.ondon before J It he de. enter a plea of not suiity it stood that the police hal? a dozen girls on the te their experiences. itnesses for tl will be Rose E old Norwich girl, and Claire Rivers, Wife of the accused, Should the police decide to press the charge, it is said that they arc prepared to present evi- dence that Kettle has violated the Mann white slave act, ani failure to convict him in the superior court will result in the evidence being turned over to the federal authori Claire Rlvers has been k backeround by the police for some weeks. although she has heen detained at the county fail since July, as & ma- terlal witness in the case against May Rose DiNeto and Louis Bloom, both awalting trial in the superior criminal court on charges similar to that aagin Kettle. With the arrest of Kettle, however, there is no longer any secret in the fact that she is prepared to testify against him, also Bloom and the DiNeto woman, While it 1s not probable that all the cvidence at hand will be brought out at the preliminary hearing in police loourt next Saturday, enough testi- mony will be given to attempt to es- tablish probable cause against Kettle, If the accused is bound over to the next term of the superlor court, as the police expect he will be, letfers by him more than three months ago and addressed to different Conneeticut girls requesting them to accompany him to Worcester will be introduced in_court to show that the activities of Kettle have extended even bevond the boun- darles of this state. These letters have been placed in the hands of the police by the girls who received them and have been on flle at the office of the state police in Hartford for some time, Claire Rivers is well known in Nor- wich and has associated with Kettle since his first appearance about two years ago. According to the officials they were married a short time ago. Her rlght name is Margaret Kettle, but in police circles the girl i3 known as Claire Rivers. Sho went to New Londcn from Yantie about three years ago. The trial of the three alleged white slavers promises to be one of the most censational recently ‘staged in tbe su- perior court in this county.

It is of more than passing interest to note that, according to the .reports of the cominissioners appointed by Governor Buckingham to collect the votes of Connecticut soldiers in the fleld in _the Civil war, there were 2,897 taken for the nation election in 1864 and 2,208 for the state election of 1863, a total of 5,105, The records.show that some of the soldiers were in hospitals when they voted, Two of the commissioners, James H. Turner of New London and Oliver P. Wattles of Norwich, wrote their report entirely by hand and did not use the blanks furnished them. In thelr report they say: “Nelther of us have directly nor indirectly influenced nor attempted to influence any soldier and in the performance of our duties undér appointment we have been impartial and faithful as we belleve. In the document given a commis stoner by the governor the fterritory assigned him was described and his activities limited to it, The commis- sioners made out returns on blanks and sware to their accuracy before a notary. All the returns from the commissioners were afterwards bound in one volume and given into the cus- tody of the secretary of state. In view of what has been said about the limitation, or the absence of limi- tation, of the members of the general assembly as to the scape of their work at the coming special session, it is of interest to read the journal of each legislative branch for the special ses- sions peld during the Civil war. It is evident the legislators did not think they were oblized to take the pur- Dpose of the session as stated by Gov- ernor Buckingham as the limit on the soope of thelr work, In his proclamation for the special sesslon held Nav, 3, 1863, Governor Buckingham said it was “for meeting the cal] of the president and for cqual; izing the burdens incident thereto.” The senate journal of that session shows that other business wag attend- ed to besides that which was made necessary by the Civil war, The first bill introduced into the house referred to “communities and corporations,” a title that was quite peaceable In its phraséology. The first petition pre- sented to the senate related to ceme- terics and it would require a very yivid imagination to see anything bel- licase in a bill having such a erave title. Another bill authorized the towns of Sprague and Lisbon to di- vide a local school fund and any one with a knowledge of the character of the good people of these towns will have no difficulty in believins that the distribution wes made without_even an ansry ‘word on either side, House bill Na, 6 related to benlts and No. 4 had county jails as a subject for leg~ islation, Nelther could he construed as being necessarily germane to the purpose of the special session as set forth in_the proclamation of the gov- ernor. Senate bill No, 8 had the all important subject of “sheep culture! as the substance of its proposition, & fact which shows that even in those days there was a cry against the neg- lect of the state to take steps to raise its own mutton and wool. The cry is heard till 50 years after the war. There was certainly nothing in the procla- mation of the governor to suggest to the Phoenix Insurance company of this city or to the New Haven Steam- boat company to 2pply to the leglsla ture for authoeity to increase their capital stock, but they did make the application #nd in each instance it was favorably acted on at the special session. The town of Rocky Hill had some proceedings to legalize and it found the session an opportune time for having them stamped with legal- ty. In the rules adopted by the senate there is the curious provision that when a senator Introduces a petition he shall make an oral statement in regard to it. If every petition pre- sented to the general assembly now had to be explained by its introducer the time for the introduction of new business would not be brought to an end before the session would be ad- journed by the constitutional limit, INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION MEETS AT GRISWOLD Open Session of American-Mexican Mediators Held on Wednesday. The presidential yacht Mayflower arrived in New London at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, bearing the “mem- bers of the American-Mexican com- mission. Dinner was served on board ship and the commissioners and oth- er members of the party did not go ashore to the Griswold hotel wntil well “along in the evening. Thg American issioners are _Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin K, Lane, Judge George Gray and Dr. John R. Mott; secretaries, Herbert A, Myers, W, Babeock and J. Roberts; Dr. L, S. Rowe, United States secretary; J. B. Parker, assistant secretary; William McNeir, ~disbursing agent; Dr, A. R. Goodman and Lieut. R. B, Paddock, military aides, and two stenographers, The Mexican commission consists of Luis Babrera, chairman; Ignacio Bo- nilar and Dr. Albert J. Pani. The secretary is Juan B. Rojo and the of- ficial translator Eduardo Gogorza. The members of the commission as- sembled in joint session for the first time Wednesday, with Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican membership, pre- siding. The session was expected to be de- voted to arranging details of tho con- ferences that ars to follow, although Secretary Franklin K, Lane, chair- man of the American commission, in- dicated that some progress in discus- sion of the subjects to be reviewed might be made later in the day. When the commissicners had as- sembled it had not been determined Just who might be present at the con- ferences in addition to the commis- sloners. James Linn Rodgers, special agent of the state department in Mex- fco City, who was summoned north for the 'meetings, may participate, since his personal knowledge of the situation in the Carranza capital may be of use not only to the American members but aleo to the Mexican commissioners. During the trip from New York on the naval yacht Mayflower the com- missioners avolded any discussion of the object of thelr meetings or of the procedure which would be followed. The rooms provided for the meet- ing of the commisslon are flanked by offices occupled by the staf of state department employes in charge of the mass of correspondence between (he two governments, forwarded from ‘Washington for the use of the com- missioners. It is anticlpated that when the conferees take up the specific ques- tions before them, beginnig with the Mexican request that General Persh- ing’s force be withdrawn from Mexi- ©0, adjournments will be necessary from time to time while data bearing on this qudstion is reviewed and com- pared with whatever statements the Mexican commissioners may present. At the conclusion of a two hours' conference Wednesday, at which a pre- liminary schedule for thge discussions was adopted, the Mexican-American ‘| commissioners adjourned until Friday.

Leavens, president of the Dime Savings bank, has undertaken a hu- manitarian work which is exceptional- ly worthy of commendation. As lo- cal sub-treasurer of the B. F. B. Per- manent Blind Rellef War fund, he is ralsing a substantial sum in this com- munity to train the many blinded British, French and Belgian soldiers in trades not famllics in spite of their terrible mis- fortune. The blinded soldiers of the allies are unusually deserving. Thelr lives have beon permanently wrecked in the de- fense of thelr homes, familles and countries. They; can be rescued from thelr apparently hopeless fate by the establishment of a practical and bus- iness-like system of training schools, employment agencies, -work-shops and exchanges which will create a market for blind-made products. Their own governments, belng over- burdened with many more immediate and vital problems, cannot either at present or for years to come estab- lish such a system of institutions as adequately or completely as is de- sirable from a humanpitarian stand- point, If America will help, almost all the many unfortunate biinded soldiers of the allles can, within a very few years, be restored to a real useful- ness and at least to a comparative prosperity and happiness. i It America, on the other hand, ig- nores this ncble world-duty, many of | our fellow-human beings, though ex- ceptionally deserving of aid, may be condemned to a slow and miserable death of poverty and despair as pub- lic charges upon their communities. The B. F. B, Permanent Blind Re- lief 'War Fund, which is already or- ganized in practically every state and in several hundred citfes, has been founded by leading American ban ers, philanthropists and business men. Among its_Amerlcan organigers are the Hon. Hlihu Root, Vincent Astor, Avgust Belmont, the 'Hon. Lymsn J. Gage, U. S. Senitor Thomas P. Gore, tho Hon, Mvron T. Herrick, the Hon. Robert Bacon, Otto H. Kahn, Whit- nev Warren, Joseph Widener, and Geo. Alexander Kessler. Its honorary treasurers are Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the Na- tional City bank; Sir Edward Holden, chairman of the London City and Mid- land bank; and M, George Pallain, governor general of the Bank of France. The patronage of the King and Queen of England, the King and Queen of Belgium end the president of France has been obtained for the distribution of the fund in' their re- spective countries. —eeee e I Incidents In Society | Miss Marion town to_enzage in New York.
