mR. NEE1y,s ANNOUNCEMENT.
He Is to Remain New Haven Business
 

Man.
 After sixteen years of active business life in New Haven, during which time l have enjoyed the liberal patronage of the community, l have withdrawn from the partnership of Malley, Neely X Go, Since my connection with this house there have been four partner ships, in each of which I have been an investor and director-EdWard Malley & Co.,, Bolton & Nicely, William Neely & Co. and Malley, Neely & Co. It is to-day a source of qualification that during all these years l seemed to have enjoyed the confidence, as well as the patronage of all classes of the purchas- ing public.
 It would be ungracious of me, in view of these facts and this experience, not to frankly acknowledge the obligation l am under to New Haven, which has been a generous home to me, and to state that in withdrawing from busi- ness association with MT. Malley and his son, I have no intention whatever to withdraw from an active business career here. l have my future plans well in hand and shall be able in @ short time to take the public further into my confidence, when l shall feel the past kindnesses and exchanges will lead to a new and I hope a mutually more profitable association. l feel my self thorough going New Havener, interested in it's government and char ities, and shall pass the rest of my life l here. Respectfully, Vim Nicely.

PIPER fINDLATfR'S STORY
HERO OF THE FAMOUS CHARGE AT DAR0AI TELLS
HOW A SOLDIER DOES DARING DEEDS
Thinks Nothing of It.-He Relates an Incident That
Happened Prior to the Beginning of the
Forlon Hope Charge

of the regiment-but he had by him a
"chanter," such as Is used for practice.
There is nothing fearsome about ''chan-
ter" no windbag, no streaming ribbons;
just the lingering part of the bagpipes,
with the essential reed, which the player
blows into like penny whistle. So Find
later struck up the Cock O. the North in
this subdued key, and we all stood round
listening. The last note-and Dargai had
been taken.
The Cock O. the North" was our first
love about Dargai and we have stuck to it..
That is all right, because it was played at
Dargai, and, moreover it is the marching
tune of the Gordon Hishlanders. But what
Findlater blew himself was the "Haughs
O. Cromdale'- "haugh" meaning in Scotch
riverside meadow, while Cromdale is a
district in the Highlands. This pipe tune
is faster, more vivid, more tumultuous,
than the former; indeed, it is the charging
tune of the Gordons. From what Find
later told me, 1 gathered that amid the
hurry and the excitement, some of the
pipers struck up one tune, some another.
Unquestionably, the Cock O. the North
best stands for the note by which we in
terpret the Gordons at Dargai. Findlater
is full of praise for his comrade, Piper
Milne, who, being wounded, will also be
at Netley before long. 1t seemed that
the pipe-major of the Gordons-how he
must have cursed his luck-had been in
structed to superintend the bringing up
of the reserve ammunition. He was still

wanted him. On the first point Findlater
was tolerant enough-capital fellows, the
Irishmen. But on the latter-words failed
him. Well, he is just as Scotch as he could
be, and his accent might never have been
out of his own country. Go to any northern
strath and you will find your Findlaters at
the plough tail or swinging the scythe.
How did he come to be a soldier? He hard
ly knew, but perhaps in very much the
same way as most young Scotsmen pick
up the queens shilling. He had been in
farm service and was Is when he went and
proffered himself to the Gordons. After
seven years of the regiment, he signed on
for a second period of five years. OF this
contract he has still two years to fulfill,
but his soldering is in the hands of a doc
tor. He hopes, for himself, that his foot
may get as sound as ever it was, but must
wait patiently to see.
Naturally Findlater looks forward to be-
ing able to go north on visit to "his ain
folks" He has been in India for long
while, and he would much relish glimpse
of the old faces and the familiar burn
sides. The Scotsman is a passionate wan
derer, but it's long journey with him that
does not turn back to where it began. A
small scare smote Findlater when l sug-
gested that his kinsmen would be making
o terrible hero of him. INA, na," he insist
ed, "they ken better than dee enything so
stupid. Bit fan the regiment comes back

CHEEKY reception. It's fine regiment, equal
to ony Heean' regiment, aye an fine Of

Visit an extra trial was given to his mod

which hurt him more than the wounded

An officer entered the ward accompanied
by two ladies, and, of course, Findlater
was at once the center of interest. Get

officer. and Findlater answered, Capital,

ner. The situation would have been in
cense to vain person, but to this always
rustic Scotsman 1t was worse than a battle
field. Happy thought-would the ladies
like to hear him play the "Cock O. the
North?" Findlater plunged out his ques-
ton with desperate courage which every
body realized. Delighted! His pipes he
had left in India-they were the property

Gradually I had been edging towards
this question-"What of your personal ex-
perences during the action?" We all
wonder how it feels to be in the middle
of fight; what it means to be wounded.
Findlater had no very extensive views on
those matters-the soldier never has-but
