Ansonia, died Friday evening. The
Ansonia Sentinel says: He was born in
Wallingford, March, 1928, and only

years of age. When a young man he
removed to Cheshire, where he resided
until he came to Ansonia, some twen-
ty-three years ago. For number of
years he was the superintendent of a
shop in Cheshire, where brass was the
chief article worked. After coming to
Ansonia ne worked as brass roller in
the employ of the A. B. & C. Co. He
continued in their employ for a number
of years, and then gave up active work,
but continued to make his home in An
sonia, residing in what was known as
the "Hotchkiss'' house, of which J. Fl.
Brodhead was the proprietor.
Mr.. Mix's wife died some thirty years
ago. His only daughter resides in Red
lands, Cal, she having married B. w.
Smith, formerly of West Haven, a
cousin of Henry J. Smith of Ansonia.
He had no other home hegliked so well
as Ansonia, so he remained here Mr..
Mix was a very quiet man. one hard
with, but those who knew him well
found him a genial friend. He kept
well posted on the affairs of the day.
He was able to call on old acquaint-
ances until about three weeks since,
though he had kept to the house closer
this winter than was his usual custom.
AS son as he gave up his nephew. J.
w. Mix, collector of the port Of New
Haven, was notified, and he has been
with him the most of the time since,
leaving only for few hours occasion
ally to attend to business that could
not be neglected. His daughter was
notified of his Illness, but up to this
time none of her friends have heard
q word from her.
The remains are to be taken to
Cheshire for intcrment by the side of
his wife While not a wealthy man,
Mr.. Mix was so situa ted that he did
not lack any of the comforts of life.
He lost some of his property in western
farm mortgages but not. enough to
cripple him. At different times he has
owned some real estate in Ansonia, but
the most Of that, If not all, has been
disposed of. To the younger generation
he was not generally known, but had |
warm friends among the older people. |
The pallbearers are to be j. D. Ballou, |
Fl. j. Smith, Franklin T. Burr and An

Gregory was aroused by his colored
neighbor, Henry Mitchell, who asked
him to come over and look down the
well, saying his wife was missing and
he thought she was in the well. In
looking down the well they saw Mrs.
Mitchell's feet and the coroner DR.. e.
B. Heady, was telephoned for, and upon
his arrival the body was removed to the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell attended
all the services held in the Baptist
church, and Mrs. Mitchell seemed hurt
at the GOODNESS displayed by one of the
members. On her arrival home Mrs
Mitchell seemed very sad over the in
cident, and her husband reasoned with
her and then thought nothing more of
1t. He soon after retired, leaving his
wife to follow. On awakening this
morning and not finding her in the
house, he began searching for her. and

THE COSMOPOLITAN DEBATE.

| THE COSMOPOLITAN DEBATE.
| It is very evident from the tone OF
the communications received from the
presidents Of the various universities
which We're requested to allow their
undergraduates to participate in de-
bate on Modern Education" for prizes
amounting to $4,000 that the contest
will not take place. The only replies
favorable to the project were from P.
B. Barringer, chairman of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, and President d. S.
Jordan Of Leland Stanford university.
President w. II. P. Faunce also at
first appeared favoraby inclined to-
ward the debate, but later retracted
his approval. President Hadleys let
ter said;
my dear Mr. Walker: Your letter
dated November 9 has just reached me,
and Is the first official intimation of the
proposed plan which we have had. I
shall submit it to the university coun-
Gil for discussion at it's first meeting
"The opinions which have been ex-
pressed concerning the project, as it
has come to us indirect through the
public press have not been wholly fav-
orable. We appreciate the spirit of
liberality in which these prizes have
been offered, but, without prejudicing
the case may say that some of the
men hesitate to give the official sane
ton of the university to debate on
short notice, over questions of which
most of the contestants can, in the ma
ture of things know very little.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur T. Hadley."
