WHERE HALE TAUGHT.

Some Important Historical Facts are l Pleasingly and Properly Explained.
 The following from the Hartford courant might be copied with advan- taee in the Connecticut and New York papers:
 To the Editor of the Courant:
 May trespass on your space to cor rect q misstatement which, it seems to me has been too persistently circulated to be thought an unintentional one?
 It is said there is in progress the eav- ing of the school house at East Haddam where Nathan Hale taught for very brief period. It is stated, and the statement was admitted to New Lon don journal and published there in de- tail and without correction, that he taught there in 1774 and 1175, the infer ence being he left the Haddam school house to meet the death that was so glorious. Now it is very clearly laudable thing to preserve the East Haddam school house. It ought to be done and much credit is due MT. Green for his persistent and successful work But there is no detraction from the in- tereet in this building by telling the truth On the contrary truth, always of vital importance, in dealing with his torical matters Is of the utmost mo- ment. We cannot have facts interwo- ven with fiction and still call them facts. We want the truth. The truth here is that Hale left East Haddam af- ter a few months, and until he went to the war taught in New London, where he intended to live if he had been spared.
 New London does not want any glo ry but its own. It is perfectly willing that East Haddam should have all that is it's due, but it decidedly objects to persistent circulation of misstate- ment. already contradicted both in the columns of the Morning Telegraph of this city and in the Spirit of '76,' to whose editor l wrote when the mistake appeared in his columns and who promptly and courteously compiled with my request for correction.
 My interest in the matter is twofold first, because while I like every town in Connecticut and am glad to have them gain honor and prosperity, I am some- what prejudiced in favor of my own | and I want New London, which doesn't get much outside, to have all that | it rightfully owns; second, because I | have been at great pains to write a life | of Nathan Hale, which has just been | published, and I do not wish to have l an assertion which is at variance with | truth, which l have endeavored to fol- | low, become general, and be accepted | by many who have no means of verify i; ing or confuting it. Many of the | Daughters of the American Revolution | will remember my address on Nathan | Hale which was delivered before them at their congress in the Pequot House, in the summer of 195, and understand it was the germ of this book. They will also comprehend the reason for talking. of Hale was because it was in his loved New London they were gathered

OLYMPIA'S BRONZE TABLET.
Designed By Sculptor Paul W. Morris
 of Bridgeport.

Designed By Sculptor Paul w. Morris of Bridgeport.
 No feature of the welcome to be ex-
 tended to Admiral Dewey, his officers
 and men, upon their arrival in New
 York harbor early in October is likely
 to be more appreciated by them than
 the presentation by the people of Olym-
 pa, Wash, of a beautiful bronze tab- let commemorating the victory of Ma the cruiser Olympia had therein. The noise of DeWey's guns had hardly ceas
 ed to echo when the patriotic citizens of Olympia assembled to do honor to
 the city's namesake and to set on foot the project which has since been crown ed with success. The tablet, which was designed by Paul w. Morris of this city, a son of Marshall F. Morris of Noble avenue, and executed by him under the supervision of Daniel c. French, is fash toned of bronze, and the sculptor's con ception instantly impresses the beholder as one of noble dignity The center of lle tdDloC IS OCtupltu Dy mag 5ulllCSHl figure of Victory, whose outstretched arms support flowing scroll, bearing the now famous words of Admiral Dew ey to the commander of his flagship, "Gridley You May Fire When Ready. On either side of this figure is the in- scription, From the Citizens of Olym pia and State of Washington. Greet ing of Olympia to her Namesake. 
 The cast of the tablet has just been finished by the Henry Bonnard Bronze company of New York, and the tablet will shortly be placed on exhibition at Tiffany's, New York It was inspected a few days ago by James A. Haight of Olympia, representing the donors, and was by him pronounced satisfactory in the highest degree. It has been decided that the tablet shall be placed upon the Olympias forward turret, in the space between the two big guns which did such terrible execution in Manila bay The presentation and dedication will take place in New York harbor in the presence of a large company of distln- guished guests among whom will be the mayor of Olympia. the governor Of Washington, and, it is hoped, the presi- dent of the United States.--Bridgeport 1 Farmer.

Minute Regarding the Late Rodney Dem
 nis-Vacancies Filled.
 The executive and finance committees of the Connecticut Bible society held meetings at Memorial hall, Hartford, June 19, and in the place of the late Rodney Dennis appointed Henry Roberts auditor and chairman of it's finance committee and also to have charge of its invested funds. Professor Williston Walker was made secretary of the finance committee The graduation dis tribution of Bibles in Hartford and the care of the Bible repository were in- trusted to the Rev. H. H. Kelsey of Hartford. The following minute was adopted by the executive committee, ordered placed upon it's records and copy of the same sent to the family of the late Rodney Dennis:
 Among the many benevolent societies which have suffered serious loss in the death of Rodney Dennis, the Connecticut Bible society finds a place. For nearly twenty years it's auditor and chairman of finance committee, it's strong defend- CT during, perhaps, it's most perilous pe- riod, the constant faithful counsellor of it's secretary in the management of it's affairs, the student and admirer of it's broad and historic career, believing most thoroughly in it's beneficent work and expressing, during his last illness, the conviction that no money spent for be- nevolent objects was more effective than that intrusted to this society; it's ex- ecutive committee profoundly mourns the loss sustained by his removal and at the same time would record their gratitude to the giver of all good for the unwearied efforts of this disciple to send the messages of divine love to every neglected and discouraged outcast with in our commonwealth.

Naturally they were not bad girls, but were good -natured and kind. They were the victims of the circumstances by which they were surrounded and from which they were unable to escape. Had they been placed from childhood and in early womanhood under good moral influence and favorable circum- stances, there is reason to believe their lives would have been marked by truth fulness, modesty and propriety.-Wil- liam B.

vince any intelligent person.
 When I first met Maggie it was at the residence of distinguished people who were inquiring into or gratifying their curiosity about Spiritualism In the evening a seance was held, all sit ting around a table with hands joined Previous to sitting down I told Maggie in a whisper that I did not believe in the Spiritualistic stuff but that would not give expression to that to the others present nor reveal any of her se- crets. As a consequence she placed me by her side al the table, where she could release her hand from mine when- ever she chose, which no one would per- ceive, as the room was darkened; and she did take her hand from mine at times when the customary rappings, with questions and answers, were go- ing on. Subsequently I was at many other seances in different places with ing my disbelief, never asked me to communicate with spirits, being con- scious at the same time that I would keep my promise not to betray them as long as they lived. All the sisters be- ing now dead, I am free to state the above facts.
 Although they made no public rev2- lation of the deception they had been led into and practiced, fearing, no doubt an outcry of condemnation against them while living, I am sure their minds were oppressed by what they had done. For many of the later years of their lives Maggie and Kate sought mental relief and oblivion by spells of hard drinking and intoxication.
