e SR o o y Y (Special to The Bulletin.) The one hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the general as- unhlg under the present constitution and the second general legislative re- wnjon, was observed at the state capi- tol at Hartford on Wednesday. Al- though weatherwise conditions were unfavorable for the gathering of for- mer legislators from ail parts of the state, yet the event was a great big suecess, The whole affair was ar- ranged ‘and personally conducted - by ‘William Harrison Taylor, selected for secretary by the legislative committee of arrangements. The attendance was estimated at 2000 of former members! and most all were at the capitol before | 11 o'clock when there was a general reception of former state officers, sen- ators and representatives. “Then came county reunions in rooms assigned. At ngon there were legislative reurions, and all in all, the morning was spent in social session by the legislators past and present. To add to the pleasures, Mr. Taylor had placards in all ‘the meeting rooms and at different places about the capitol pl rds of welcome and suggestive of good cheer. The drizzling rain prevented the the Governor's 1ot Guard and orchestra from giving the concert in. the open on the lawn on the south side of capitol as planned, and the c was given in the capitol cop! In addition {o instrumental mu there was rus singing and averybody seemed filled with inspira- ion and participated. ¥ v exercises were held in he house, which was all 1 to accommodate the large numiber at the capitol to aid in the nnial celebration.

This sewing must be done—our al- next month, and it is a woman's job; three good reasons why every- one who possibly can, should pre- sent herself at the Red Cross rooms, and take home a bundle of these small garments, which are going to make some mother's child warm and comfortable, "These people in Europe 'are abso- lutely dependent on gerica, for cloth- ing and supplies. The Red Cross has lately shipped to Serbia 389,696 yards of ‘bathrobing and 29,740 blankets, emphasizing the need of cloth and war material in that country. . They have established war houses to supply the French people with clothing, first of all, and farming implements, tools. etc., at Amiens Laon Chalons and Verdun. - In Poland the peopie are: worse off than the Belgians even, be- cause they have been without any help whatsoever for four vears. 80.000 tons of food stuffs must be sent every month to put Poland back on its feet. A recent issue of the News: Letter, the official organ of the Red Cross, tells of one willing worker, who, be- sides keeping honse for a husband, three children and sick mother, still found time to make 60 refuge shirts in two days, 111 pairs of pajamas in a month and a half and another lot of 70 in three weeks, besides several | nature and I the e fund is in- Tribune of the great centenary movement, !
