Randall—Budlong Post’s Lincoln Day Speakers. pot SEETE Dr. John Champlinief this town is among the medical men in the state the reguirements, for the Medical is being formed the fact that he passed them success- fully was recor@ed in a recent pi bli- cation of “The Military Surgeon.’ The formation of such a body was started several months ago when five of the leading medical societies in the country took. the initiatory with the idea of forming two corps with & membership of 10,000 each. The mem- ‘bership from Rhode Island was limited to 100. / The finding of the body, .:lidon(ly that of Kenneth Douglas of Stoning- ton, Conn., on the beach at Coney Is- }and, is of considerable interest to Westerly people, as Mr. Douglas was a graduate of the Westerly Business college, making many acquaintances here during Mis course of instruction. When his -body was found by a New York policeman investigation re- vealed a notebook in his pockets in which was inscribed the name of Kenneth Douglas and the address 140 West Sixty-fourth street. A badge of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder com- pany of Stonington was also found in_a pocket. The mother of the young man lives in Mystic, and when asked Wednes- Aay if she thought the body was that of her son answered in the affirmative. She said that the fireman’s badge was loaned to Douglas some time ago by his brothe: Miss Clara Vificent Randall, a res- ident of Lower Pawcatuck, died at her home Tuesday evening after an ill- ness of some time.

Word was received in Mystic Wed- nesday morning of the death of Ken- neth Douglas, son of Mrs, Emma Douglas and grandson of Erastus Chesebro of Pear] street. The death comes as & severe blow to his relatives, as his body was found on the beach at Coney Island, and in all probability he had met with foul play. He was @ traveling salesman for a firm in New Haven and his route caused him to be in New York quite frequently. Identi- fication was made by his personal card and a card of the firm ond his fire- man’s pin which was attached to his vest. His mother is grief-stricken, as only a day or two ago she recelved a letter from him. Besides his mother and grandfather, he has a brother, FErastus Douglas, of New York. He was about 27 years of age and a young man .of good habits, well liked by all who knew him. Pupils Go Back to School. The pupils in Mystic who attend the high school in Stonington were per- mitted to return Wednesday after two weeks’ vacation caused by the small- pox cases in Stonington, where the Northup and Marshall boys came down with the disease.
