TAFTVILLE A large crowd of villagers enjoyed theiday yesterday in various ways, one which -was .the program of the parish- foners of ‘the Sacred Heart: Church, which was carried out sucessfully. Tme program started with a parade in'the early part of the morning, consisting of many odd clad figures, societies and = band.

According to Judge C. B. Watson of Gold Hill, a lifeiong friend and ad- viser of the prospector, the naming of this rich ntine came about in the fol- lowing manmer: t was in the late 70s when Geronimo the famous Indian chieftain, was giv- ing’ United, States soldiers .4 merry time in the Southwest that Schiefflin found .some very promising prospects in the Tombstone district, but on ac- count of the Indian warfare and short- age of supplies in this isolated. country he'covered his new find and retired.to Nevada The next spring, with only his mounts and pack outfit, and for the pirpese of getting a grubstake, he en- g3goed himself as a guide to a detach- ment of United States cavalry, which was secking a route into the .Indian colintry beyond Schiefflin's find. "Reaching the diversion point, he left the troopers and, point ‘o the dis- tant Hills, he said: “Out there I ex- pect to find my fortune.” The com- manding officer replied, saying: “Y. You'll find your tornbstone--ol' Geron imo will get you.” So' ‘Schiefflin called his bonanza “Tembstone”. SAFE AIR TRAVEL ‘The amazing records for salfety-in air transit established in England re- cently will go far to make the new method of travel popular. During the tiest' year of civil flying in' England fallowng the war 38954 flights were made and some 70,000 passengers were carried.” In all this period there was but one fatal accident. The record com- es very favorably with railroad or automebile travel. This enormous fleet of alreraft flew a total of 734,200 miles or, & distance equal to about thirty times the circumference of the earth. Géods were carried by the ‘air routes amounting to. 116,498 pounds. During the present year $1,000,000 worth of imports ‘and exports were carried be- tween ‘England and the Continent. In this period - of civil flying 114 aero- dromes have been registered and 519 machines of various types have been registered.’ Flying is therefore not only ofie of the mafest means of transport- atien, ‘but is making rapid headway as regards to' commercial development. If such resuits have been a; plish- ed in’ searcely more than a.year:fel- lowing the war, it is safe to predict that 2 -few years will witness enor- mans flests of commercial 'aircfift winging . their way in all directions.— Boys' Life. 501 WASHED OVER DAM AT VANTC — Witter S.

There was a slight demonstration dtring the early morning ‘hours .and then it quieted down for the remainder of the day. During the evening there were fire- works in the differe sections of. the city; but the majority confinéd’ their cele- bration to sparklers and a' few Roman candles. i In' the afternoon the streets of the city Wwere practically ~déserted, the crowds ‘eeking refuge from the blistering “heat at the beaches and in motoring, and even stifiing oporession: of the humid and close atmosphere. Extra cars were run on. the Norwich and New London lines all day to accommodate the crowds. The fire department. which is usually called out several times during = the Fourth, put in a very easy day, as not = single call for fire was sent in. Chief Howard L. Stanten remained at the Cen- tral station all day and night for a case of emergency. The accidents from fireworks that usually accompany the Fourth were few, there being only a few reports of burned fingers and slight injuries, nothing that needed medical attention, CONNECTICUT INDIANS GAIN ONLY 7 IN 10 YEARS The United States census bureau gives the “white population of this.stale as 1.- 358,732 out of a total of 1,380,483 are 159 Indians in the state, an increasc of seven in ten vyear: The . negrces number 21,046 as 2gainst 15,17% in 1810, The ,other races are: Chiness, 566 as against 462 in 1910: Japanese, 102, an Increase of thirty-one; and all otheis.

The Sum Our aneestral sun, as pictured by La- Dlace, originally extended in a . state of luminouh vapor beyond the boundaries of- the solar system. Rotating upon its axis, it slowly contracted through loss of ‘beat by radiation, leaving behind it pir- tions of its mass, which condensed to form the planets. Still gaseous, though now ‘denser than water, it continues to pour out the beat on which our existence depends as it shrinks imperceptibly to- ward its ultimate condition of a cold and darkened globe. Laplace's hypothesis has been 'subject- ed in recent years to much eriticism, and there is good reason to doubt wheth- er his description of the mode of evalu- tion of our solar system is correct in ever ' particular. Alll critics” agree, however, that the sun was onée enorm- ously larger than it now is and that the planets- originally fermed part of its dis- tended mass. 3 Even in its present diminished state, the sun is huge beyond easy conception. Our own :earth, though = so minute a fragment of ‘the primeval sunm, is never- theless so large that some .parts of -its surface have not yet been explored. Seen beside the sun, by an observer on one of the plamets, the earth would appear as an_insignificant speck, which could be swallowed with ease by the whirling ver- tex uf a sun-spot.

Scotch Dancers. A short selection by The Kiltie band of Westerly was followed by exhibitions of Scotch dances, the Highland fling and the sword dance, by Ethel and Eleanor McKenzie and Jean McDonald of West- erly, all in kilts and plaids, that were loudly applauded.

Their object is the, advancement of the Chris- tian faith, which they propose to do by worshiping God according to the dic- tates of their ownm consciences, and two, to combine themselves into a. civil body politic for the purpose: of self-govern- ment by enacting and constituting- such Jows and ordinances as may be necessary for this purpose. b Fifteen years before this the James- |/ town colony -had been established and already had "a ‘legislature presided over by an appointee of the king. But this colony was ot in quest of a government by the peoplé. * The(New England: col- onies went- farther, -electing their own legislatures and governors and ~making their own laws, so that from this origin they were practically republics, their al- legiance . to a . distant kind being one rather. of. formality than.of submission. In 1639 the New Haven colony became so liberay -as té ‘give -all freemen the right to vote.. This principle they em- bodied in a written instrument, the first known in history drawn up by the people, for their own government. As no men- tion was made in this document of the English - kind, it was in_effect the con- stitution of a separate republic. In 1643 steps were taken for the formation of a federal republiv by combihinz the Plymouth and New Haven colonies for defense against the Dutch and Indians. This league was called “The United Col- onies of New England.”. In 1754 at Al- bany the first attempt was made under the inspiration of Benjamin Franklin to combine all the colonies for defensive purposes. But this governmental scheme Co. was rejected . as, premature, which' was probably ‘wise in view of ~subsequent events.

This success encouraged the colonists in their resistance, and it was declared by the thirteen states assembled in | congress that “the United Columes are, | and ought to be, free and independent states; that their political connection with Great Britain is, and ought to be dissolved.” This resolution was em- bodied in the immortal Declaration of Independence drawn up by Thomas Jeffer- son and adopted July 4, 1776. As soon s it was known that this great document was signed—a document that will always be classed Wwith the Ten Com- mandments and Magna Charta in import- ance—the old Liberty Bell announced to the world that a new nation “conceived in liberty,” had been born.
