hehlAoANS Au0t ~, ASSN- TCRcULAR No. 2:
 The hearty response of UnionVeterans throughout the state in favor of grand parade and reunion on the occasion of the inauguration of the statue to the memory of War Governor Buckingham on June Is, makes 1t certain that the day will be memorable in the annals of the state.
 Attention is asked to the following suggestions :-
 CD Headquarter tents, suitably desig- ansssssss, he placed on Bushnell park near the depot. On reaching Hartford all veterans should report immediately to their respective headquarters and reg ister their names As speedily as pos sible each organization should select its officers for the day, and transact other necessary business. Arrangements should be made to reach Hartford as soon after 10 o'clock as possible.
 (2) To secure some uniformity in appearance 1t is recommended that dark coats and trousers and black soft hats be worn. Members of the G. A. R. can wear their uniforms. No old soldier or sailor should stay away because of his clothes.
 (3.) As far as possible the veterans of every town should come together, and if they bring music with them so much the better. Any bands or drum corps thus brought, and not previously engag- ed, should report at once to the Adjutant General at the marshal's headquarters on the park, for assignment in the line.
 (4) The line of march will be short, and it is intended to have the parade dismissed as early as 2 80 o'clock. Efforts will be made by the Hartford citizens committee to furnish every man some refreshments before the parade, but it will be wise to guard against emergen- cies by means of pocket lunch.
 (5.) Every veteran organization will be provided with handsome United States flag to be carried in the line.
 It is expected that the famous Seventh Regiment of New York will form part of the military escort. Invitations have been extended to President Arthur, Generals Grant, Sheridan, Terry and others, and the parade will probably be reviewed by the governor and the dis ! tinguished guests of the day.

PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance ot insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure, and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they lost ten times the amount of the premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem. bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies, Anyone insuring therefore for the current year. will only be required to pay q cash premium of five per cent on the amount of the insurance, which will cover all lIability,-there can be

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The. backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap:
thicker and get in as much as possible Of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made Of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bendsand spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Grover Cleveland, the democratic
nominee for President of the United

1887, in the little village OF Cald well,
E,stx county. N. j. - His great.grand.
father, Aaron Cleveland, who was ma
tive of Norwich. Conn, was the first
writer in that State to call 10 q ,estion
the legality OF slavery, writing poems
and essays against 1t, denouhcing it from
the public platforms, and in l779, while
a member of the Legislature, introdu-
cling bill against It. He became Con.
sregationsl minister and died at New
Haven in 1915. Richard Cleveland, the
father OF Governor Cleveland, was born
al Norwich in 1904 and was graduate
Of Yale College. He taught school in
Baltimore. studled theology, spent some
months at Princeton, and in 1928 was
ordained Presbyterian clergyman.
Grover Cleveland was educated at the
pahlic schools of New Jersey and at an
academy in Clinton, Oneida county, New
York. At the age OF sixteen he became
a clerk In the New York Blind Asylum.
There he happened to meet young man
who prevailed upon him to seek his for
tunes in the Far West. They started
for Cleveland, Ohio. On their way they
stepped at Buffalo, N Y, where young
Cleveland paid his respects to his uncle,
Mr.. Lewis F. Allen. This gentleman
was very favorably impressed with the

ticket will win in any event. Tammany
played game Of bluff throughoua, and
il had been in Kelly's place l would
have remained In the Convention and

Mr.. Mclaughlin said: It's my. opinion
that the man isn't exactly right here '
ard the speaker tapped has forehead
IL don't mean that he is insane on every
subject, but I honestly believe there is
something wrong With that man. You
know that you can 60 out to the lunatit

them on certain topics, but when you
touch their hobbies you nnd they are no,

cerned l don't take much stock 10 his

In conclusion Mr.. Mclaughlin said
the ticket would have handsome ma.

no doubt about 'Clevelaud's ability to
