many. lie was born June s, 1926.
AT IS years of age he came to this coun-
try and after dwelling and travelling in

On January 10, 1860, he was married to

vile, the officers Of Ssyder's League were
TO be confirmed. The Firs, Vice Pres
ident Of Snyder League was there to
represent Snyder chapter. When the
Snyder reror, was called for il was read
by LIST Vice President &. A. Craig The
pastor stated that there were objections
to the President, and the kicker was called
for he arose with a guilty conscience, cross
cd his legs. braeed himself against the bench
and proceeded TO Witty the absent President
and to speak the sentiments of himself and
have done had the President been present to
defend himself. When the kicker was
through the pastor asked the representa-.
tive of Snyder chapter what he thought of
it, Mr Craig replied that he did no, be-
lieve one word of il, but having no one
with him i, was one against one and Mr..
Craig was unable to prove the kicker'S
statements false. but upon investigation he
found every word Of the kiekeI's statement
to be untrue. We refer you to the many
friends of Mr.. Jenkins who have known him
for a number of years. aud know him to bc
an honest. upright, truthful man. and
faithful church worker. lie was well

The kicker stated before the conference
that he had been told by Mr.. Ben Williams
that he had seen Mr.. jenkins in state of
in,oxieation on the streets of Kingwood.
Mr. Williams begs TO inform the public that
he positively did not say anything of the

falsehood he had uttered, tried To further
ruin the reputation of Mr.. Jenkins 10y sta.
ling 70 the Conference that he had stolen
coal augur from fellow miner. by further
investigation this is also found to be false.
This goes to show that the kicker aud his
friends are making every effort 90 tear down

OLD HOME WEEK AT NORWICH

l This is old home week at Norwich, Conn.,, and thousands of visitors, many of them natives of former residents of the fine old town, are expected to enjoy her hospitality between now and Sat urday night. Norwich Is good place to go back to- Her commercial in- stincts may not be nowadays as keen as those of some of her neighbors, but her streets are broad and shady, her homse have a comfortable and hospit- able look and there are many points of interest within her borders to attract
 both those who are familiar with her charms and those who now visit her for
 the first time. Norwich is one of the oldest towns in Connecticut, having
 been settled in 1860. The most ancient houses are at Norwich Town, so-called,
 and on the road thither from the city proper. Not far away ex-Presldent Cleveland's ancestors lived. and cer- tain lad grew up who was afterward destined to return to his native country and burn and slaughter as the com- mandant of a British expedition. Yet let us remember that before Benedict Arnold abandoned the cause of his country. he served her valiantly and well, with a quality of dash and fear lessness that gives charm to his early career even now.
 Norwich has been the home of many famous men. Among her living sons

MAY BE CAUGHT IN ICE.

George Goss May Not Return From
 Arctic in Time for Yale Football.
 George Goss of this city, the most promising candidate to succeed Gordon Brown at guard on the Yale football team, may now be among the ice floes which grind the North Pole and may have to spend some time there. Such, at least, is the belief of E. o. Goss, brother of the Yale student,
 In conversation with an American reporter to- day MT. Goss said he had not heard from his brother, except in- cidentaly and through the papers. "l expect to hear from him in the course of ten or twelve days" he said, but there is nothing certain about It. Then he added. He may get caught In the ice and have to stay there a year or so."
 George Goss, with a number of Yale men, left early in the spring on an eX- ploring expedition in the Arctic re- gions. Since that time but little has been heard from him. A report says he figured in saving the Kite, one of Lieutenant Peary's old ships. The probability of being caught in the ice where he may have to spend the winter puts an interesting phase in the foot ball situation at Yale. The team will have eight or ten new men this year, and Mr. Goss has been looked upon as one of the best candidates from which to pick successor to alts years great guard.-Waterbury American.

good conduct. The revised good-time

good conduct. The revised good-time law will be as follows:
 Any prisoner may, by prompt and cheerful obedience to the rules of said prison, earn q communication or diminu- tion of his sentence as follows: Sixty days for each year, and pro rata for a part of year, of sentence which IS for more than one year and not more than five years; and 90 days for the sixth and subsequent year, and pro rata for part of a year; provided, that any serious act of insubordination or per- sistent refusal to conform to prison regulations occurring at any time dur ing his confinement in said prison shall subject the prisoner, at the discretion of the warden and board of directors to the loss of all or any portion of the time earned; and provided, that this provision shall not apply to prisoners sentenced to confinement in said prison for a term that it not greater than one year"
 The change makes the computation simple and broadens the scope Of the system It will be noted that under the change a convict is entitled to 3o days more good-time a year after nav ing served five years than during the first five years. The principle under which the possible amount of good time is to a degree graded in accord ance. with the length of imprisonment is in operation in various progressive states and gives satisfaction.
