The statement made follows: The decision of Judge Burpee re- cently handed down in the matter of N. E. and M, G. Lucas vs., the city of Norwich is not decisive of the ques- tion as to whether or not the court of common council had the authority to pass the order complained of by the plaintiffs and to enforce such order. Judge Burpee's decision simply goes to the extent of holding that an appeal to the superior court does not lie from this order of the court of com- NOT DECISIVE Say it Simply Holds That Ap- peal to Superior Court Cannot be Taken From Sidewalk Order of the Court of Common Council—Other Ways Order are Open to the Plaintiff mon council. There are other ways of testing the legality of this order which are open to the plaintiffs, and they are not barred from pursuing other reme- dies simply because a judge of the su- perfor court holds that an appeal is not the proper one. To read the morn- ing paper would convince one that the matter was settled and that the Miss- es Lucas wouid be obliged to lay granolithic walks forthwith, whereas the only matter that has been settled is one of procedure, and it is still to be determined whether the order of the court of commo ncouncil to lay the walk in questlon is a legal one and can be enforced. It will probably be some time before this real question can be determined by a court of final jurisdiction, and this explanation should appear in the press in the in- terests of those who may have been misled by what nas already appeared.

There will be music by ihe school trio. The library on Friday evening was the scene of a lively Ilallowe’en party. If noise and laughter are any criterion everybody had a happy time. The puyils and their guests were divided into groups representing the various i! s and took part in an indoor meet. The team representing U. of Penn. won the meet. Thesce events were followed by dancing and refresh- s. The hall has rarely looked bet- ter, decked ou! as it was with shocks of corn, pumpkins and autumn leaves.

The |idea is to make regular trips by auto jinto the distant sections of the town and reach with bovks and magazines | many people who seldom come to town. | The librarian, Mrs. Tryon, will make i the first trip next ‘Wednesday, Nov. 8, and will cover the Pendleton Hill dis- trict.

BALL ‘oung Artist of Norwich Ancestry is Praised by New York Critic. At the rooms of the National Socie- ¥ of Craftsmen, New York, is an ex- | hibition of drawings and models for stage sets, theatrical costumes, and accessories, of which the art critic of The New York Sunday Times said: In. ieresting costumes are shown b Thomas Raymond Ball. One series by Mr. Ball was made for The Fairy Bride given for the.Irish benefit last spring. The wickedness of Queen Buan is symbolized by the scarlet in the color scheme, and her son, the ‘Wicker. Prince, is given a remarkabl; gorgeous costume of scarlet and pur ple and murky Bakst green, while the Good Prince, her stepson, is less au- dacious in blue-and white and dull golden yellow. A robe for an Irish king demonstrates the accommodating way In which current styles and cheap fabries play into an artist's acheme {when he’ knows precisely what he wants. The king’s robe is a 15-cent a ard awning cloth of handsomne stripes in several colors. Now, the Pagan kings of Ireland, before the time of good St. Patrick, were allowed to wear ht colors, if they were upper kings, nd at least six colors if lower kings, hile the nobles could wear from two to four colors, and the peasants but | one color. Hence the appropriateness jof the many colored stripes of awning th, but if you are not erudite and n artist you miss these opportuni- ties. The success of young Mr. Ball as a designer and artist is of much interest in Norwich, as he is a grandson of the late Theodore Raymond. His cou- sin, Philip Raymond Goodwin, is also a young artist and illustrator of dis- tinction, a painter of animal pictures of rare merit. The latter is the son of Mrs. Ella Raymond Goodwia, and the former is the son of Mrs. Alice Raymond Ball. Rural Carrier Examination.

Harvard Professor Tells of Geological Wonders of Colorado Plateau Re- gion. The lectufe given at Slater hall on Monday evening was on the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and was deliv- ered by Wallace W. Atwood, professor of physiology at Harvard. It was mos: interesting ifrom both a geologicl and a scenic point of view and was most beaatifully illustrated. Mr. Atwood emphasized the fact that the canyon itself is just a detail in the Colorado plateau region way off in the south- v, 8.000 feet above sea level. it there are marine plateaus, once covered by the sea, composed of layers of limestone and sh When thi% region was raised above sea level a new story began. Internal forces, storms and earthquakes raised it up and rivers wore it down, and lava was joured out. Its present condition is a barren desert. The boulders are be- ing worn smaller and smaller by wind and atmospheric chunges. The air is so dry that much of the rainfall does not reach the ground. Tirough this region are found the ruins of Indian villages and the deserted cliff dwell- ings. At one of thcse mesas, still in- habited, the party of which Mr. Baker was a member arranged some of the old savage races. The men and boys taking part in them completed the circle around the base of the mesa, a distance of 10 miles, in less than 60 minutes, kicking in front of them small wooden sticks. The boys of these tribes often capture wild horses by running them down. Twenty to 40 feet below the surface are found petrified loes left there from the time when the now- barren coun- try was green and covered with for- Next comes ledge, which was ed by the Indians as dwellings, another period caused the drying of the land and made it uninhabitable There are found extinct volea still retaining an appearance of acti iteaus of lava and lava re seen.

This inner gorge is of the oldest geograph- ical formation. To reach it we de- scend the trail for about a mile down through solid rock, past peaks of mountains that are but details”in the side of the gorge, and by other tribu- tary gorges. The river when reached is of a dirty coffee color, but when a glass of it is allowed to stand it clears, leaving a slight sediment of sand at the bottom. It thus reveals its whole work and object—to carry the land to the ocean. That is what everything in nature is doing; the wind. the waves, the rivers, the weather. There are in this canyon three distinct formations and stratas—the foundation. the in- cline, the horizontal; separated hy millions of years.

Officials connected with the New London custdm house are among the most popular persons in New London. Ever since Tuesday night perfect strangers have been transformed into acquaintances, acquaintances have suddenly developed into -apparently life-long friends, and iriends have be- come blood-brothers to 'New London officials, judging by manner in which said officials are besiezed on all sides by solicitous people who wring their hands, clap them on their respective backs and earnestly inquire as to the health and happiness of their fami- lies. If one of the officials has business on the pier he scarcely enters the closely guarded confines where the submersible is docked before he is notified that someone outside is ur- gently requesting to see him. On in- vestigating he finds it to be a friend, acquaintance or a comparatively stran- ger, as the case may be, expectantly awaiting an_invitation to be called in- side where he can see the big under- sea liner. The official mail contains all sorts of requests that they use their influence to get “friends” into the enclosure where the Deutschland will be visible to their curious eyes. There are telephone calls and personal requests for such favers every minute of the day and the officials are about ready to be treated for nervous be a spark of life in Mrs. Brink’s body, Mr. Brink hurriedly lummo:ui ‘medi- cal aid, and Drs.
