Miss Jennie Spencer Dr. Bluffwell,..Mrs, John McWilllams Miss Iris, a nurse, Mrs. ‘Arthur Blackledge Niblick Stimmie .Fred L. Newton Vetinary Surgeo: John McWiliiams The plot in brief was: Mrs. Stimmie takes her son Niblick to a quiet sum- mer resort in order to that he may recuperate from the effects of too much golf. When she proposes to take him to a tea party he feigns illness to escape it. There are but two doctors in the village, a woman and a veterin- ary. The former is summoned and prescribes leeches and a trained nurse. ‘While they are waiting for the leech- eg the son improves the opportunity to fall in love with the nurse. When the leeches arrive neither the doctor nor the nurse will touch them so it is decided to call in the horse doctor in spite of the protests of the lady doctor who has never before held a consultation with him. The veterinary arrives and when he applies the leech- es the young man has a sudden re- covery. He then takes the rurse out sailing to the chargin of the rest of the party. All the parts were well taken and the acting was very creditable. The farce kept the audience in an uproar during the evening. It was decided to omit the reading of the paper of the evening owing to the absence of its author, Miss Edna A. Stuart, from town.

CHARLES LADD FOUND WANDERING IN PRESTON Draftee Saic To Have Become Ment- ally Deranged. Charles Ladd who was posted as one of those to leave here last Satur- day with the local draft quota but was excused when he reported to the +local board that he was suffering from neuralgia was found wandering in Preston Tuesday. He was without clothing and was badly scratched about the face. Dr. R. R. Agnew was sum- moned and declared that Ladd had i become temporarily deranged mentally. Dr. Agnew said that he had treated the man for the same trouble about four years ago. It is thought that the knowledge that he had been drafted preyed upon the man’s mind until his mind became affected. The local hoard which did not send a substitute for Ladd when he failed to show up Saturday as it did not wish him to appear as a deserter has sent Joseph A. McGrath in his place. The action in Ladd's case now Tests with the federal authorities. Monday the lecal board sent John A. Carbray of 60 Boswell avenue to Camp iDevens in response to his request. They olsa located Frank Oloff and will send him to camp Devens at the re- quest of the Bridgeport Board as he registered there and later came to Norwich.

Swahn's or- in 1909 ‘cured 1,840 who| double | Was Offered P, st ereal Fire Marshdl Under Emergency Fic#t Comporation. . - ~ the past few weeks to get ard L. Stanton of ,the local ; os SR MR marshal under emergency fleet ship. HOWARD L. STANTON ceeded, according to a s on Tuesday by Chief Si asked regarding the report. That the government should be seek- ing the head of the local fire depar ment for one of its fire marshals is a decided credit 4o the chief, and to Norwich as well; but it is nevertheless not surprising in view of his qualifi- cations. That he has decided not to accept the offer will be learned with general eatisfaction by the people of the city. Chief Stanton was offered his choice of one of three districts—Eodston, Phil- adelphia or Cleveland—and had he ac- cepted it is probable that he would haye elected to have gone to Philadel- phia, in which district there are 140 shipyards which have got to be or- ganized for fire prevention dnd fire fighting, This is only ene of four offers which Chief Stanton has had in the past few years to-leave Norwich for much larger and mofe important positions, in any one of which instances the sal- ary is far beyond what the head of the local department is paid or what it can ever be expected that Norwich can {pay. { For a time it is understood that the chief seriously considered accepting this last offer and the mayor and the |fire commissioners were informed that {1t was possible that his resignation would be handed in within a short time, but after due consideration and his desire not to break away from home ties and local associations he decided not to accept, although it is understood that aside from the ques- tion of salary the advantages of get- ting into a position which is not en- dangered by political changes each year furnished the chief reason for his entertainment of the offer. The “efficiency of the local fire de- partment is due in a large degree to the capable direction of Chief Stanton and as one man -asid it is confidently helieved that if the people of this city had been given a chance to decide the question they would insist upon his retention and if possible that he be held in his present office as long as he is able to look after the duties in his present capable manner.
