Base Ball
 and Clam BakeS

For years have been failures in Water bury; and why? Because they are not run right, Take base ball this season right here in the city of brass; the club has the right material and they can play as good a game as any club in Connecticut; but they don't, and WhyS It may be because they do not drink good tea and coffee (the kind we seli);. 1t may be they don't like their man.. ager, or it may be they have forgotten how to play on account of shirking so long. Of course, we are not on the. 1n- side and do not know just. why. But clambakes have never been run right. You will sit down to an elegant spread of all the delicacies of the season, but when you want to quench your thirst and call for cup of good Tea or Cof- fee you get left; you must take Whac they have on hand, such as ginger ale. soda water, root beer, birch beer, old time s'pop,' etc. but no tea or coffee. Isn't it a shame? Yes, it's a crying shame that the best, purest and most beneficial drink known should be lg- nored at the clambake. We hope to hear of tea and coffee being served at the bakes in the future, and if the kind we sell is served your physical cond1- tion will improve wonderfully after each sbake.''

Born in the year 1900. at the opening of the
new century. Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt. wonder
fully preserved woman. whose home is al No.
407 AdeIphi-st., Brooklyn celebrated her 109d
birthday yesterday. II was necessarily quiet
celebration, because Mrs. Hunt, who is at pres
ent visiting her grandson, Frederick Hunt, at
Middletown, Conn is confined to her bed with
a dislocated shoulder blade, received in falling
down stairs there about eight weeks ago. Aside
from this injury the more than centenarian is in
excellent health-such good health, indeed, that
the doctors have hopes that she will recover
from her injuries
Mrs Hunt was born in Lancaster. Penn the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Babel. In 1905
the family moved to Leonard-st New-York.
where Mr.. Babel became a baker. In 1882

Mrs. Hunt came TO live with her son. Reuben

the seven still living. Since 1879 the aged
woman has never once missed an annual jour
ney from Brooklyn 10 visit her grandson in
Middietown and a granddaughter whose home
is in Meriden, Conn That a woman of her age
can stand such a trip speaks volumes for her
vitality. She reads and seWs with the aid OF
glasses and her hearing has failed only slightly.
Her teeth are all gone, but they say that she
manages TO enjoy a bit of beefsteak as well as
those provided with full set Of molars
During the Civil War three sons and two

necticut Volunteers Both OF the latter gave
their lives for their country. Thomas Tappan at
