that he could rot come to the reunion
 as he had not got his pension and he
 complained that he had not a decent pair of pants. He hoped the boys would

 Rev. MT. Jackson, of East Haven, ex- Mayor Hendriclz, Senior Vice Com
 mander Sill, of Admiral Foote post, "Parson" Willis Isbell, and others.
 Rev. MT. Jackson offered prayer, in opening the feast. He is affectionately
 termed the ''sky pilot" by the vets. Senator Hawley didn't speak, chiefly because there was so much noise and confusion of moving tables that he con- cluded to take stroll and whiff OH the veranda. Ex- Mayor Hendriclk read letter written during the war by Confederate at Fort Pillow, who told about the bombardment in progress and expressed his belief that one of the Yankees could lick the whole Con- federate navy. This epistle was cheered, of course. Commander Sill made a lengthy address, dwelling on the accomplishments of the navy, the heroism and chivalry of it's officers and men, and recited, in closing, a poem about the man behind the gun.

POSTAL MONEY ORDERS.
New Plan Introduced is Proving Quite
 Popular.


 Popular.
 The postofflce department announces that to facilitate the correct issue of postal money orders, and to further improve its money order service, it has introduced, for distribution by business firms to their patrons, and for the convenience of those who have occasion to remit to such firms, spe- cial forms of applications for money orders, in which the name and address of the payee are conspicuously printed in red ink. The department will fur nish scuh forms free of cost, and will cause them to be, sent to any, appli- cant, in such reasonable quantity as thereof through the postmaster at any money order office.
 It has already become the practice of many large advertisers, insurance companies, publishers. seedsmen, etc., to enclose one of these application forms with each bill catalogue, in- voice. prospectus, etc., issued by them; and the results show quite conclusively that the method commends itself to a large class of persons who make purchases by means of mail orders" and who have been f the habit of paying them for in postage stamps or in coin or notes sent in the open mail.
 It is desirable to avoid the use of postage stamps for this purpose, as also the transmission of coin or notes in the open mail especially where money orders are available. To en- courage and promote the use of the postal money orders which afford the safest and most satisfactory means of making remittances of small amounts, these special application forms are de- signed.

Mayor Hendricia a-Gathcrins Full ol Mcmories-Lettcrs from SchIey and Dc,ray Flna Dinner Ends the Fcs. tiyttirs.
 The iron Merrimac,
 With several to her back, Commandedd by Buchanan, the Dan-di-O! From Norfolk strutted out,
 To put us all to rout,
 And capture little Yankee Doodle Dan-di-O!
 In the sixties Dan Wright, a famous clown, touring the country with a cir GUS company, made a great hit with his song sung in the ring, Yankee Doodle Dan di-O!" two verses of which are given above. At that time the civil war was near it's close and the people were in a fever of excitement.
 Yesterday, at Savin Rock, the Girdeon Welles Naval association, No. 8, State ct Connecticut, held its eight eenth annual reunion. During the pro- ceedings ex-Mayor Hendrick present ed to the members souvenirs of almost priceless value, being half-inch bits of live oak which once were part of the famous Confederate gunboat Merrimac, which was sunk by the Monitor in lower Chesapeake Bay in 1862. The ram Merrimac had previously sunk the Federal ship Cumberland and had blown up it's mate, the Congress, and the victory of the Monitor, the Bush nell boat of local fame, made season of great rejoicing.
 Years ago. when MT. Hendrick was chief of the New Haven fire depart ment, one of his intimate friends was Thomas Kevill, then chief of the Nor folk, Va, fire department, who at the time of the great battle in Chesapeake Bay was a gunner on board the Mer- rimac. Chief Hendrick and Chief Kew i'll renewed their old acquaintance, and about 1880 the latter sent the former a cane of live oak, the wood of which was part of the ill-fated Merrimac. In view of the naval reunion of yesterday ex-Chef Hendrick thought ti would be an appreciated token of remembrance to distribute bits of the famous Merri- mac among the veterans. So he had his treasured cane sawed into half inch pieces and drilled. These souvenirs, strung on blue ribbon, were the most treasured trophies of yesterdays gath ering There were but fifty-one of them, all told, and the demand exceed ed the supply g. dozen times over. Ex- Mayor Hendrick was roundly cheered for his thoughtfulness and his ship mates vowed they never would forget him,
 The reunion was great success, the most delightful in the,history of the as- sociation, so everybody said, There were about forty in the party, wearing pink badges, and they gathered at the pagoda pier off Wilcox's pavilion about noon. Then the business meeting was held. Captain Elcock presided and Henry F. McCollums was secretary Various minutes and reports were read and approved, and under the head of the secretary read the interesting letters. The note from Rear Admiral Schley was espe- cially appreciated because it was all in his own Handwriting and evinced per sonal interest which tickled the ship mates. The letters follow:
