BUSY T0RRINGT0N.
A BRISK MANU.FA CTURLNG
CENTRE IN THE NAUGA-
TUCK VALLEY.
THE BIRTHPLACE OF JOHN BROWN
HOW THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF
THE PLACE HAVE GROWN.

Like several other busy towns on the Naugatuck
River Of Connecticut Torrington is set in a frame
Of factory chimneys. In whatever direction one
looks these tall brick stacks pierce the sky and
with their smoke throw cloud over the circle of
hills w II forms sort of outer frame for the busy
n;ctIre. This smoke means that the factories are
busy at their score of varied tasks. and busy
tories spells prosperity for any town that has
them
various names since 1874 there is little interest
IN the early history and few relics of Colonial days
remain. Its claim for historic fame lies in the
fact thai John Brown. who was so prominent in
the early days Of the anJ-slavery movement which
resulted in the Civil War. was born in a quaint
old farmhouse a short distance from Torrington.
The house is now one hundred and twelve years old
and is remarkably well preserved. in spite of the
fact that few alterations have been made II is
visited by al who so to the town. and of it the
people are most proud
John Brown lived in the old house until ne was
five years old. Then his father moved to Kansas
with his family. The friend OF the black man
made several visits to his birthplace and
pleased 10 find growing anti-slavery movement.
In 1897 the lines between the opposing parties We're
closely drawn and several fights occurred at VOL
cottvil.e when the auti-saVery adherents tried 10
hold meetings there. Brown paid Torrington
extended visit about this time and out
spoken against slavery. An old friend of the
family felt called upon 70 warn him. according TO
one of the local traditions.
John Brown you want TO be careful" he said
.If you keep up this fight against slavery. you'll
be hanged some day.
Brown is said to have replied that he did not fear
anything Of that and went on fighting slavery
until he was hanged at Charleston Va. in 1853 To-
day Torrington considers him the greatest martyr
in The list Of those who have given their lives for

these are all void SiXty-One miles Of canal
were built, which VIII also be a dead loss. This
is the second trial. the first having resulted in
the Superior Court in a decree esta blishinz the
validity of the canal. but the Supreme Court
reversed this decision. and ordered a new trial.
II is not likely that any attempt will be made
TO set aside this second decision OF the Superior
Court.
The Stanford football team has lost in William

an Illness last fall put him so far behind that
he was forced 10 apply for years leave OF alb

tackles in the country. having made a great
showing at the Michigan-Stanford match at
Pasadena on New Years Day.
Edward Morgan and Elsie Leslie. in "Ths
Christian" at the Columbia. have made a hit.
depsite the fact that the same play was given
here two years ago with a strong cast Morgan
is especially praised by the local critics who de-
clare that in John Storm he is doing the best
work of his life. Morgan will be followed by
