CentenarTan.

ELLINGTON, Aug. 29.-Mrs Violet Chap
 pen, colored, was born in Belchertown,
 Mass, August 29, 1783, just before the close
 of the Revolution. While the exact day of
 her birth may be somewhat in doubt, from
 used to live Mrs. Chappel1 is much more than one hundred and one years old. Dur ing the first years of her life property in slaves was common in Massachusetts as well as in Connecticut, but she was never held as slave. She left her native State soon after the war of 1912, and about the year 1920 was married to John Chap pell. He died many years ago. For & time she had residence in Vermont, but finally settled in Ellington. She is at this time in possession of every faculty, sight be- ing the best preserved. Her mind and mem ory are somewhat impaired, and there are only few things in the past of which she has any recollection. Dwelling always afar from the stirring scenes of her time, she has simply heard of them and knows compara- lively little of their meaning and signif- canoe. She cannot tell how old she is, as there are no written records for reference, but she has sometimes been heard to remark that she did not believe she was a hundred This may have been caused by sort of van 1ty often displayed by advanced persons who wish to be known as younger than they real ly are. From neighboIs and aged residents, however, comes the declaration that she was a very old woman when they first knew her, and some of these are over ninety. In bodily health she is stronger than many at sixty. She is, in fact, like some aged tree with firm roots, putting forth leaves as seasons return, smiling when sunshine falls upon it's foliage with as much apparent satisfaction as the younger ones with which it is surrounded

 Presented and Accepted-LOOkIng
 After the Webster School.
 The Board of Education held it's first meet ing for the new school year last night Sen ator Plunkett was the only absentee.
 MI. .Zunder from the Committee on Schools, recommended that 4, 900 copies of the super intendent's report be printed, an advance of 300 copies over last year. After some dis cussion it was decided to print $500 copies MT. Zunder also said that the committee thought best to allow the superintendent to call one session during September when an exceptionally hot day comes and the Board concuTred with the committee.
 Tickets are not needed for admission until Wednesday.
 MT. F. E. Harrison read report from the Committee on Schools regarding a communi- cation from members of the Alumni associa- tion of the High school requesting an en- largement of the facilities for teaching sciences. The committee did not feel that the enlargement asked for was at present practicable.
 On motion of MT. Pond the Committee on School Buildings was ordered to visit the Webster school and report at the next meet ing as to the practicability of repairing the rooms that they could be better lighted. Room No. 10 is especially dark.
 On motion of MT. O'Brien the matter of having kindergarten teacher for the Welch school, according to Superintendent Dutton's was referred to the Committee on Schools to inquire and report. The teach er will instruct the teachers in the Welch school in the principles of the Kindergarten system. The matter was discussed inform ally, and the drift of sentiment seemed to favor it.

GId Ridgefeld.

Hon. P. c. Lounsbury at the Seventeenth c. V. reunion this week asked Colonel Allen, of the Seventeenth and of this city, to step to the front When the almost deafening applause which followed had subsided Mr. Lounsbury took from a purple velvet case a beautiful gold badge which he pinned on the colonel's breast and said: "Colonel Allen, the survivors of the Seventeenth Connecticut wish you to accept this badge as a slight token of the respect and love you have won from them during the twenty years or more they have known you as commander, com rade and as friend. We honor you for your bravery and fidelity and love you for your manly qualities and liberal heart, and in ap- preciation of them the association has caused this badge to be nude for you. Wear and cherish it." ColoIlel Allen was taken by sur prise in earnest, but was equal to the emer gency and responded fttingly.
 Rev. w. W. Lsets, in his opening address to the veterans, referred to the ancient and historic record of her townspeople during the revolutionary war, and said that no town in Connecticut should fail to honor and vel come these remnants of regiments that went to the fron5 during the late rebellion and en- tered into the conflict during those dark days of strife He said seventy of Ridgefeld's boys were numbered with the gallant old Seventeenth, and altogether the town sent out 160 brave and true men to fight that the nation might live.

Tanners Rlown Down.

The Blaine and Logan banner suspended from the four-story building corner of Church and Crown streets and the Hoad1ey building opposite pulled over the chimney on the northeast corner of the former build ing and it fell to the ground yesterday morning during the storm. The bricks from the chimney fell upon the north side of the building and struck ifteen-year-o boy named Emil Ingold, son of J. F. Ingold, of 24 Orchard street. The boy was consider ably injured and stunned, but picked himself up and ran into the postofiee, where Dr. Mitchell, who saw the accident, attended to his injuries. There were severe bruises about the body, but no bones were broken. The boy's escape was miraculous. Other boys near the scene of the accident narrowly escaped being hurt.
 The storm also blew down the Democratic banner about o'clock in the midst of one of the hardest showers of the day. No one was hurt.

OEm DAYS.
The Reunion of the tooth U. s. Regt. 70

ment.
 The reunion of the 109th U s. regiment, held recently at the Girard House, Philadel- phia, was another link in the chain of very pleasant reunions which have been enjoyed by the surviving officers of that command since they separated at the close of the war of the Union after long and eventful ser vice. Mir. c. E. Hart, of the firm of Frisbie & Hart, of this city, was a captain in this command and was present, as he has been on most of the gatherings of his old comrades. Eleven States were represented. On com pairing notes on the political situation 1t was found that all had the same testimony to bring from their respective sections, viz, that their sections were strong for Blaine and Logan. This was the more striking as they represented States in all parts of the Union.. The reunion was much enjoyed and in all twenty were present, including the lady members, who have been made such by vote of the association. Mrs. Hart, wife of Captain Hart, was the only Connecticut lady present The old commander of the regiment, Colonel Bartholomew, of Charlton, Iowa, was present. He has been twice mayor of his city. Also present was the United States consul at Kingston, Canada, who IS armless, having had both arms snoC or aLter the war by the Kuklux while on his planta- tion in Wichita parish, Louisiana. He was compelled to sell his plantation at great sacrifice, owing to the intense hatred and in- tolerance of Union men which then pre- vailed in that section and sanctioned the murders of the Kuklux.
 The reunion was enlivened by camp fires held at the hotel and tour of the city. Af- ter the reunion Captain Hart and wife made short stay at the elegant Stockton Hotel at Atlantic City.
