The new management infends to start operations on full time on Monday,’ Dec. 19th, and willcontinue the operation under the same conditions tfat now exist. On Sunday morning at the office of the corporation there was a meeting of the executives of the mills, the overseers and the representatives of the American Woolen company at which various phases of the business of the mills was discussed. All were assured, however, that there would be no change in the personnel of the executives of the various mills, or, in fact, in any of the departments of the mills. Mr. Kaplan said Sunday evening that he had no plans.as yet for the future, but would remain En Norwich for the time being, lending his assistance to the new management of the mills in every way possible. Mr. Kavlan has been in Norwich for the past six years and has built up the business of the mills to a high degree. Under his control there has been very little labor trouble, even when there were strikes in other mills in the east, and he has kept his mills in opera- tion as much as possible even during the period of reconstruction after the war. The mills are closed at the present time, as an inventory of the stock and equipment is being taken preparatory to the turning over to the American Woolen company. LATER HALL PORTRAITS D BY F. J.

Mr. JOHN T. CLARK, and Mrs, Clark live at the Wauregan house, where Mr. Clark has had apart- ments for more than 59 years, having ltved with all the managements the ho- tel hds had.

The driver of the latter car cut in between another car going in the same direction and the car going north. The accident happened on the state road at a point near Harland’s corner, Norwich Town, which is the junction of upper and low- er Washington® street and Town street. This particular location 1is especially dangeroud as in going to and from these streets there are four distinct routes. Many times ssveral cars have come closs at this locat! with just a narry mar- gin from serious accident, Automobiles are driven over the state road at such a rate of speed it is quite unsafe for pedestrians in crossing as well as cars passing. Ths accident on Sunday resulted in the Essex car recelving a bent fender and one front wheel completely demol- ished when it was struck. The driver quickly applied the brakes and when the car was brought to a standstill it was well on to the curbing on the opposite side of the strest, with the rear of the car in the middle of the highway, A few feet farther it would have gone over the embanlkment, The other car re- ceived ' a bent fender. Automobile Collision. According to a report made at police headquarters, the automobile of George H. Driscoll of this city was run into on Sunday afternoon on West Thames near Dunham street. Both machines were somewhat damaged. For Burial in New Rochelle.

PATEICK'S FOR IRISH FREE STATEl “When, Ireland takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not till then let my epitaph be written!” the immortal words of Robert Emmet, were | quoted in St Patrick's church at the | high mass Sunday, by the rector, Rev. M. | H. May, after he had announced that, | in accord with the directions of Bishop | Nilan the shoir would sing™Te Deum at the closqof theservice in thanksgiging for the ne eceived of lasting peace in er May had already de- livered a fine sermon from the gospel for the Sunday, John 1, 19-8, the search- ing question of the Pharisees to John, “Who Art Thou?” ‘Then he spoke with | ardor of the wonderful tidings which was to be celebrated, declaring, that now the epitaph of Emmet might be written in letters of gold. It was ‘o the Ireland which has kept the faith that Father May paid an elogquent tribute, the land which, he said, through seven centuries has ad- hered to the faith of St. Patrick and the teachings of Jesus Christ—the emerald gem of ‘the Western World which had scorned bribes and coercion preferring death rathzt than give up that which was dearer than life itself. Christ had His Gethsemanes His Calvary, then His glorious resurrection; the country which has been ihe martyr among _countries, the Niobe among the nations, has suffer- ed andsbled and has withstood endless persecutions while those who loved her have often cried out in their trial of patience, “How long, Oh, Lord, how long?” But to her fideiity and her faith have come 4t last the crewn of victory. Father May briefly reviewed the gold- en age of Erin of ancient times, the Land of Saints and Scholars, the source from which was lighted the torch of sei- ence and art and attainment, carrjed to the other nations of Luropfl He nar- rated his personal experiences, when, aft- er travels | nother lands, under the blue of Ital skies, by the Swiss lakeés with their charm, noting the fields and plains of vhe Orient, he bad at last re'whru] Ireland, the land of his fath- its lakes, its fields and i tely more to him, ing all others, rifices and suf- ad glv- { s valleys me: having a beauty Dbecause ing ferings of the generatio: g en their all for their faith and their na- tive land. “I love this Jand of my birth.” he de- clared, ‘*“Amcrica—I love and. revere her flag—the Ked, White and Blue, next «f Christ; but I cannot but otherhood of my ancestors!” strassed the pride which the rish descent all over the world are feeling today, that the peace which has come to the beloved Sireland is a peace with honor—without compromise, or any weak surrender of their loyalty to the relicion of Christ or their fidelity to the See cf Peter. It is a time for rejoleing, .and while it may perhans be too much to say we will at once prom- ise to forget, at least we will try to for- get the seven centurles of injuries on | the part of cruei Albion—at the same ' time that we pledge our pravers, our moral and material support to the new Irish Free State, he daclared. Patriotism and faith are so intimately blended in the minds of all true descend- ants of Irishmen that it seemed emin- ently fitting that at every opportunity during the service the organ, played in faultless skill by Prof. Frank L. Far- rell, should ripple out Moore's “Melodies, or some of the Irish hymns and airg fa- mous for centuries. The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls, the Hymn #o_St. Patrick, Come Back to Erin, and others cropped out through the service as effortless as the deathless green of the shamrocks crops out along the Irish paths and banks. Finally came the cli- max of the service, when, the great con- gregation standing, the chéir sang ‘“De Deum Laundamus” the ancient Gregorian hymn of thanksgiving, sung in chant time, adding its volume and grandeur to the chorus rising throughout the world from other choirs similarly inspired. Father Moonay, who had sung the high mass, with Fathers May and Galvin, who came..from the vestry, stood at the al- tar ‘steps, the cross-hearer at the gospel side. When the chorus reached the verse, “Te_ergo auaesumus, (We beseech Thee, therefore, help thy servants) all knelt, rising again until the grand finale, “0, Lord, in Thee have I hoped; let me never be ‘~onfounded.” The service end- od with the congregation and cholr sing- Ing-a stanza of the ancien* Liymn, “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.
