People interested at the shore predict a

the shore resorts than usual.

Homestead by Walter II. Smith, formerly OF
New Haven, but now of San Francisco. II

Not Going to California.

Among the propositions made by the pre-
tended millionaire Woodruff was one to AL
pheus N. Allen, the butter dealer, of $780,
600 if he would remove to California. Mr..
Allen is practical man and therefore paid
no attention to Woodruff's offer. He re,
marked: IT have not invested a cent in the
wild scheme that was proposed by Mr.. Wood
ruff and gave no thought to his talk. I have
no thought of going with him."
Mr.. CULVER of Westville, who sold his
college bookstore recently, has serious
thoughts of removing to California despite
the collapse of the "great expectations rails
ed at first by Mr.. Woodruf's talk. He made
careful enquiry into the matter and had seri-
GUS doubts of the reliability of Mr.. Woodruff
statements. He thinks of removing to the
Golden State, however, by advice of his ply
stefan, for the benefit of his child's health.

OBITUARY.
Death of Rev. James G.. JaeOeks-Hfs
work In The Ministry.

Death of Rev. James G.. JaeOeks-Hfs
work in The Ministry.
Rev. James Gilbert Jacocks, after a long
and painful illness, died yesterday at about
2 o'clock at the hospital. Mr.. Jacocks was
born in New Haven July 80, 1919, being
son of John Fl. Jacocks, who formerly lived
and kept dry goods store on Chapel street
where the Central block now stands. He
was one of family of three sisters and four
sons, three of whom still survive him, one of
their number being Mr.. A. B. Jacocks, the
lawyer, of this city. His early life was
spent under the direction of Mr..
John E. Lowell who instilled into
his youthful mind those principles
which characterized his later life. He grad
uated at Trinity college and afterward stud
led theology and became an Episcopal clergy
man. Twelve years of his life were spent in
pastoral labors in the southern States. He
spent some time inNew York city and later was
the settled pastor at Woodbury., Conn, for
five years. The last six years he spent in his
native town. Not having pastoral charge
he labored here and there as his services
were demanded. The members of the city
churches will remember him as q pleasant
which he pursued.
Last summer he suffered from a shock OF
paralysis from which he partially recovered.
In the month of September he experienced a
second attack and the symptoms attending
it gave little hope of his recovery. For some
time past he had had unconscious periods
lasting for days at a time, but about three
| weeks ago he seemed to be improving. The
hope thus afforded was illusory, and while
apparently gaining, the hand of death reach
ed him and he quietly passed away. The
| funeral services will be held at st. Thomas
| church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Death of Andrew Jerome.
Mr.. Andrew Jerome died at the residence
of his daughter on Humphrey street near
State on Saturday of pneumonia after ling
ering illness of about two months, aged 5e
years and months. He years ago worked
in the clock shop and owing to failing health
sought outdoor employment, which no doubt
prolonged his life. For fifteen years past he
| had driven a hack for Barker & Ransom.
| His death will be mourued by many friends.
Death of an Old Resident of South
Haven.
Mr. Amos Hayes, an old resident of South
Haven, died very suddenly yesterday fore
noon He was as well as usual in the morn
| ing and was outdoors at an early hour and
fed the horse and did other work about the
premises. At about half-past seven he COM
planned of illness and became paralyzed and
died at about half-past eleven. Several doc
tors were sent FOR, but none could be OBJ
| tanned in time. Deceased was well known
| and respected resident. He was bachelor
and about eighty years of age. The funeral
will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock from the residence of Mrs. John
Bishop.

Yesterdays Tribune says: ''The manu-
facture of cheap clocks and watches has come
to be one of the great industries of the coun-
try. In conversation with prominent en-
graver the other day he told me that several
years ago officers of the Ansonia Clock com
pany came to him to know if he could not
make an engraved paper imitation of the
French porcelain face that was then used on
their clocks. He spent several hundred dol
lars in the experiment and finally gave 1t up
in despair, through inability to find paper
that would answer the purpose. The COM
pany refused to let him stop his experiment
ing and he finally hit on glazed and enam-
elled paper which answered the purpose
He has made 10, 000, 600 to IA, 100000 clock
faces for the company at a cost of about one
cent each. The old cost for porcelain was a
dollar, which is the present cost of a clock
complete. Machinery has been specially in
vented for turning out the paper faces. I
mention this circumstance as fair instance
of American ingenuity, persistency and in
vention -
