this city. 1t is situated. in little re-
vine south Of the State House. opposite
the site of the old lakewood Garden on

steps of those who would drink no
other water and who even then be-
lieved in the excellent medicinal quail

planned to supply neighboring houses

back in war times, this spring was used
by thousands of people, ana its reputa-

The Journal has received a letter
from F. E. Cleveland, member Of the
Connecticut board of education for the
blind, in which he commends the enter.
tainment to be given in Meonian hall
next Monday evening for the benefit Of
the proposed Industrial Home for the
Blind. Mr.. Cleveland says: II found
that the young adult blind all over
New England, even though they had
had the advantages of a common school
education, were very largely in con-
dition of dependence and that their
lives were being wasted in enforced
idleness, and have consequently, with
the cooperation of many kind friends,
undertaken outside of my official duties
to assist in establishing this Pioneer
Industrial Home for the blind, where
we hope to afford to all such persons
an opportunity for learning some use
full trade or business whereby they may
become self-supporting. We hope to
open up new avenues of employment to
the blind, and to do all that parent
would wish to do for child, to start
that child in some useful occupation:
and when the case is one that calls for
the furnishing employment by the in
stitution, we hope to be able by the
patronage and support of kind hearted
and benevolent people throughout New
England to afford this employment"
