THE ¢ T CRAGNALUVICTOR DEALERS N (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, April 26.—The vote of every policeman in New London in a combiration todefeat any candidate for city- office woud cut ‘very little fiz- ure in local politics, and perhaps that's a distant reason why the mayor and the aldermen do mot hesitate to vent personel spleen, or yield to other in- fluence such as that self-appointed citizens committee, and make direct attack upon the heads of the police de- partment and ignore the once estab- lished seniority rule. Not so with the volunteer ¢ire department with a membership, perhaps, of six hundred' ‘Wonder why the mayor or any alder- man does not criticise the heads of the fire. department or the eight organiza- tions composing the same? Even the mayor and the aldermen have made no public declaration against the per- sonnel of the police department, and, as a matter of course they have con- scientiously abstained from antagon- izing the heads of the fire department or any of the members thereof, not even have the members of. the fire committee of the court of ° common council. The people as a whole are satisfied with the efficiency of the fire depart- ment, and the police department, too, even before the mayor and the cour: of common council made unjustifiable changes. Naturally there is more un- nrejudiced opportunity to knock the fire department, heads and all. owing to its size, than in small police denartment. - While the firemen, are volunteers they are still subject to the ai line that might be imposed by those in authority. and if there is lack of discipline th s liability of a de- crease - in efficiency. 1 Due to lack of discinline. manaqe- ment or mismanadgement. some cpm- panies of the denartment have reached the stize of independence and hardly recognize the constituted authorities.

There are per- haps six hundred voters in the fire departmerf. of New London. but this newsgatherer is simply that and nothinz more, is not a candidate for 2ny office dependent upon the votes of {the firemen. The Garfeld building in State street, opposite Main. that old-style three- story brick structure, in the heart of the hus‘ness centre, with three stores on the ground floor and offices on the jother two floors, has heen purchased i from Senator Frank B. Brandegee, and ihis brother-in-law, Mr. Zalinns The Mohican Companv., which means Frank A. Munsey. Effort was made hut without success to purchase the Smith building adioining, with which Mr. Munsey wouid have the stretch on the street adjoining, with which {on the street, from the Cronin to the | Will'ams building. Without the Smith buildinz he has space sufficient to erect a building fully as large as the Mun- sev -building and occupied as the Mo- hican hotel, and the annex that is oc- cupied in part by the Mohican store. Mr. Munsey is noted for doing big Lef Cuticfira Soothe Your Itching Skin Nothing purer, sweeter or more efi'ecuve or rashes, itchings andir- |, ritations.

The people would rather have Mr. Munsey in possession of that property than perhaps any non-resi- dent outside of New London county, and only one within that territory. No one knows but Mr. Munsey what his plans are, and probably no' one will until he decides just what to do and then he will do it. He has done a great deal towards the advancement of New London and now he will do more. It was a lucky day for the erstwhile whaling city when Frank A. Munsey was piloted to New London by Er- man J. Ridgeway, then his right bow- er and subsequently publisher of Ev- erybody's Magazine, the pilot being aided just. a little bit by John Nichols who now resides at Quaker Hill. Mr. Ridgeway left New York on a scouting trip to select a place for the Munsey publications and his real destination was Stoningtcn. On the train he sat w’th Mr. Nichols and pur;ped him regarding building for mercantile purposes or site desirable for the same in Stonington. Mr. Nich- ols immediately switched him off to New London, telling him that there ‘was a build‘ng then in course of com- pletion that migkt suit the purpose, suggesting the Chappell building in reet now occupied - by the F. Foran and Son company. Nichols was kept in ignorance of Mr. Ridgeway’s real mission, but when the train reached New London M)'( Ridgeway alighted. Th's may be all news to Mr. Nicho's. but it is fact. Mr. Ridgeway called at the Morn- ing Telearaph 'office, then located in Green stregt, where he made many n regard to the printing bus- and the bearing of the salt wa atmosphere on half-tone printing and on job ir He made personal examination of inks and the'r cond after Deing n)mv‘tu for a lonz pe and ~2Cted press compra roller: .4| inquired concern age 1 use.

He | jboughi out an concern and installed it in the building and censidered converting the struc- ture into an industrial building. He changed his mind. as do all wise men, and resolved upon a big department store and it materialized and the then seven-story building was devoted to that purpose, witi Mr. Ridgeway in charee. Department after depart- | ment was cut out until only the groc- e meat and hakery departments re- mained, the Mohican store was estab- lished and the chair of stores follow- ed. Mr. Munsey decided after a while to convert the whole structure into a modern hotel, and this he did, but not until he made extensive changes and alterations, until he secured just the kind of a hotel he wanted: In doing this experimental work he expended thousands upon thousands of dollars, bue hq achieved iust what he wanted. When ouestioned regarding the fre- quent changes in the building fate- rior and the attendant great -cost, he simply remarked: “This is my yvacht.” Mr. Munsey saw the future of New London and decided to keep up with the pace that he said was sure io jcome. The Munsey building was form- - eleven stories high, now it is an even story building with big%annex. | and large additions to the original | main bu‘lding. There is room for an- other hotel now in New London the size of the Mohican. Mr. Munsey has | the most desirable site in the city for a hotel in his recent purchase of the Garfield building property. Second Regiment Men (Written Specially For The Bulletin.) Recalling for the gratitude of this generation the brave men of '61 who so promptly enlisted at President Lin- coln’s call for three months’ service, there is inspiration in the record of so many of that first contingent, since a_large proportion re-enlisted, most cf them to do brilliant service up to | the very end of the Civil war.
