Grandma has left us.
She has gone far away.
To that sweet. sunny cline
Where the soft breezes play.
She has left us all here
To weep and to mourn,
For grandma has left us
No more 20 return.
But why weep for her.
Whom God spared so longs
For that dear old face
Has beautiful crown.
Adorned with a crown
or glittering gold,
She is waiting up yOnder
For US, we are told.

A Cry for Buanell,

The New York World of the 18th has the following in it's Bridgeport news:
 There is a great hue and cry for G. B. Bunnell to come back and manage the Park City theatre. Over in New Haven he is booking the best attrac- tions at the Hyperion, and Bridgeport CTS have to run over there to be enter tained by the best shows that travel. It is pity that such a pretty theater into inocuous desuetude. The owners, the Misses Hawes, have made extrava- gant alterations and improvements at considerable outlay, and it was SUD- posed that the remodeled theatre wo;ild prove sufficiently attractive to predictions in these columns, but so far this season it has not been the case.
 The theatre is closed most of the time, and when 1t, opens the audiences are discouragingly small. "A few years ago, when G. B. BunnelL managed this llouSC, hS ~eo opSIt ii15aAtlS ttAlOuSu lllS season. Then there+ was 'shustle' and life and people were attracted by the continual stream of good shows. The friends of the Park City are crying for Bunnell He could turn the best at, fractions from the Hyperion in New Haven over to the Park 1CityGafld give the beautiful theatre , boom. The Misses Hawes have done nobly in giv- ing this city such finely appointed theatre, and they should be supported by generous public. G. B, Bunnell is much like the late P. T.. BaTnum, and was often mistaken for the great show man. Bridgeporters all loved Barnum and would flock to see anything he oft fered in the way of show. Mir Bun- nell is also Bridgeporter, and the amusement-loving public believe in him thoroughly. Mir. Bunneil could, if he would, make the season of s94 and 's5 at the Park City 8 great success.

Pen and. Ink Sketch of Major Andre.
 Just within the portals of the Chit tenden library of Yale university. along on the left hand, is a glass topped cab met showcase displaying many odd and interesting coins. books, missiles, prints, etc.. among which and for me that which engaged my best attention, is the original pen and ink sketch of Major Andre, drawn by himself. It represents the young and handsome British officer in graceful pose, sitting at small table. on which ready at hand is an old time inkstapd and quill pen, The. face and front of the figure Is turned away from the table and the left arm rests on the back of the chair. The costume Is the picturesque one of the time. with lace at the neck and wrists. In itself this tasteful little scrap Is interesting, and because of the "reminiscences 1t suggests 1t is doubly so. l imagine That few of the many who see 1t know that Andre was de- votee of the stage in an amateur way; yet none. the less (perhaps rather the more) an anthusiast In Philadelphia, at the old South street theatre, Andre, during his residence there, managed company Of amateurs and painted several pieces of scenery used In the productions he and his company pre- sented. The grim irony of fate decreed that in 179s, but a short score of years after Andres death, those self-same scenes on the same stage should be used in the play of "The Glory of Co., lumbia," which was one of the earliest of series of Revolutionary pieces. in which the characters of both Major Andre and Benedict Arnold figured.

Celebrated His Ninetieth Birthday.


 Henry w. Whiting is one of the few residents of New Britain who first saw | the light of day in the earlier years of this century. He was born November r, 1904 esapqd, celebrated, his ninetieth birthday, Saturday. He is one of three of the oldest smen, in this town. Amos w. Westover, Adna Hart and H. w. Whiting were all born in 1894. MT. Westover was born January 1, Adna Hart February 1 and H. w. Whiting November 1E.l <,
 Mr. Winding came up town Saturday afternoon, 'and while in conversation with 'The Courant" reporter 1t was learned that Mr. Whiting was that day | ninety years old. He said, speaking of his early life, that Bridgeport was his native place. He served his appren- ticeship as c joiner~in New Hayan and came to New Britain in 1922, with eight other young men and a foreman to work on the old North church, which was completed in January, 1922, and stood where the Burritt school now stands but which disappeared many years ago. He and the men who worked on the church were the only carpenters in New Britain at that timeIf two or three houses were built during the year in those days people thought the town was making rapid progress. To-day, if the number of houses is not increased by one hundred at least during the year, people say the city Is at a standstill, or is going back ward. When MT. Whiting left Bridge port to come to New Britain the popu- lation of Bridgeport was only about five thousand. He boarded with James Booth, father of Horace Booth, one of New Rritain's substantial citizens, but at that time only one year old. He used to rise early in those days. The apprentice boys used to get up in. win
 ter fully two hours before it was time to go lo work. When they were at work finishing the North church they were in the habit of going to the church about one hour before the time to go to Wolh ttii'i ttiiaoO NASAAfoSApSo NY t1iSo ing the new bell, much to the discom4 fort of people living in that vicinity. ::
 Mr. Whiting worked at his trade in this town for many years and is fa- miliar with the early history of New Britain, He engaged in the manufac- ture of hardware in 1S49, having bought Edward Doen's interest in the Corbin company but continued only a short period, selling out his interest to the Messrs. P. and F. Corbin in 1851.
 About one year ago MT. Whiting sufi fered a slight illness, but soon recov- cred, and one cannot help remarking that his activity for a man of his age is wonderful In answer to "The Oour- ant" reporters wish that he might see many more birthdays, he expressed his thanks, saying he wished to stay among us as long as possible, but was beginning to feel his age to oonsidera4 ble extent. He still continues to work, but confines himself to the forenoon, for if he attempts to work all day he is reminded of his patriarchal age by stiff joints and aching bones. Besides being one of the oldest and highly es4 teemed residents, MT. Whiting is also one of the most substantial citizsns.-r Hartford Courant. :

PEACH INDUSTRY.
Barren Hin Orchards May be Converted
 Into Peach Orchards,

Barren Hill Orchards May be Converted Into Peach Orchards.
 Essex. Nov. 1s.-owing to the suc- cessful production of peaches and plums In and around this locality and the stringent efforts made by the peach commissioners to protect the fruit from the yellows and stinging insects. nu- merous parties have been negotiating with the owners Of the almost worth less hill pasture lands to buy or lease them for term of years, with the in-, tention of converting them into or chards to produce as fine q line of fruit as can be raised in this or any other state. Two thrifty nurserymen In this vicinity planted several varieties of peach stones some years ago which means to them. at the present time. thousands of young trees, which they are ready to supply the above named parties at reasonable price. The grower may now select from them va rieties from the earliest Spencer Beau ty to the latest Hamlln Clingstone. According to indications this peach growing industry will. before long, be one of the best paying in the state.

Jack Rabbits.

The Norwich Bulletin says: MT. Archibald Mitchell, of the firm of Por- teous & Mitchell, and MT. Zevulon R. Robbins of Cliff street, spent last week at Fishers Island hunting, having a pleasant outing, but not extraordinary luck. The English jack rabbits are in- creasing at the west end of the island, and although the acreage of cultivated land has been considerably increased there is no complaint that they invade gardens. The hares are shy and are seldom urprised-hardly ever coming nearer than two hundred yards. The burrowing rabbits at the east end of the island are rapidly increasing. Feathered, game is not plenty there.

4 PLOT THAT FAILED.
AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A COAL Triple IN
THIS CITY.
Tbs Rattle, Unpleasant Discovery Made Yesterday
Klrning-Ths Situation Along the G., L
& ". Unchanged Yesterday.

Yesterday morning about six O'Clock
Driver Bordeman, engaged in hauling
coal from the mine of JOchum Bros,
situated just north of the Atlantic re-
fning plant, around the hill" had his
attention attracted TO oil scattered upon
the timbers of the tipple at the mouth OF
the mine. Mr. Bordemsn at once noti-
fed one Of the Messrs. Jochum OF his
suspicion that something was wrong,
and an examination of the ground under
the tipple was made. There they dis.
covered several pounds OF giant
powder wrapped up in lot OF
paper and covered with basket.
A fuse led TO the powder, and
this had been fred, but the train had
been extinguished in some manner when
the FIRE was quite close TO the powder,
thus preventing an explosion. OH had
been poured about the vicinity of the
powder literally. This oil had been
carried to the place in a large bottle,
which was found close by. The facts
were put in the possession Of the police,
but there seems TO be DO clue to the
persons who planned the destruction Of
the property.
The mine is run on the cooperative
plan, the three Messrs. Jochum-
brothers-and one or two stockholders
mining the coal, which is disposed Of to
domestic consumers only. The owners
bod hoa, notiGnd IN sDsnand work when
the strike was ordered, but they did
not do so, not thinking their mine came
within the limits Of the strike.
