ADMIRAL FOOTE POST.

Endorses Cottage Plan for Married
 Soldiers and Their Wives at Soldiers
 Home.
 Admiral Foote post at their meeting Saturday night cordially endorsed a proposition which has been agitated for a considerable length of time by the Women's Relief corps, a very praise worthy one.
 The proposition is that the Womens Relief corps of the state at their ex- pense and with the. help of private citizens throughout Connecticut build several cottages near the Soldiers home at Noroton for the benefit of the wives of the old soldiers who have heretofore found it necessary be separated from their loved companions in order that the government could properly care for them personally
 The Woman's Relief corps intend with certain restrictions to make it pos sible for the wives to accompany the members to the home, living in the cot tages to be erected at the expense of the corps and citizens and has raised several thousand dollars for the pur- pose.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Charles Bradley Gilbert.

The funeral services of Charles Brad 1 ley Gilbert, of the firm of Stoddard, i Gilbert & Co.,, the wholesale grocers, l were held from Trinity church satur- day afternoon at 2:S0. Many friends of
 the deceased gathered to hear the last
 words of parting said over the remains
 of one whom they esteemed and loved.
 Rev. Dr. Frank Woods Baker, rector of 1 Trinity church, was assisted by Rev.
 Harry P. Nichols, rector of Holy Trim
 ity church, Harlem, New York. The services at the request of MT. Gilbert's 1 family, were simple. No music was
 rendered except the simplest organ ser | vice.
 l A noticeable fact was the very large 1 attendance of men who came to pay
 their last respects to their friend, and I by their presence offer coincidence to his 1 bereaved relatives. l The honorary pallbearers were all
 men closely associated with MT. Gilbert
 during his life in a business and social
 way They were Ericsson Bushnell, John Edward Heaton, Dr. Austin Che hey, Le Grand Cannon, F. F. Brew ster, F. E. Stoddard, C.. F. Stoddard and T. W. Farnam. Colonel Norris G.
 Osborn and Joseph Sargent acted as marshals.
 The flowers sent to the house were
 many and beautiful. The church altar
 was banked with flowers and ferns, also
 sent by friends and arranged by his ad-
 mirers.
 The deceased is survived by his wid-
 ow, to whom he was married year ago, She was Miss Eliza Hotchkiss. Two sisters are also left to mourn his
 loss-Mrs. Eldredge, of East Green wich. R. l., and Mrs. Hemingway, of Redlands Cal.

THE WORDS WE USE.


To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Having read with considerable interest
your article on the number of words in
common use, as copied in the London
(Ont) Advertiser, and having previously
read the article TO which you referred, in
which the statement was made that the
vocabulary of the illiterate was limited to
some 300 or 400 words 1 rather think that
your deductions that 1900 to 5000 for the
lower classes is far too high.
If my memory serves me Alright the arti-
Gle referred to by you was from the pen of
an old country writer, where the dense ig-
norance of the country yokel no doubt an
swered to his description and would hard
~ apply to Americans since 1.-The school
master has been abroad for so long a
time, yet, in my opinion, If we add, say.
90 per cent. to his calculations, we should
not be far astray even in this country.
What leads me to this conclusion is the
fact that recently analysed an article ap-
Progress of knowledge" in the issue of
May g. last, in World Wide published in
Montreal ut the Witness Office being a
reprint of an article entitled THE Manual
Arts ip the Elementary School in the
Commercial Advertiser, New York.
The article, including caption, contained
in :, all LIZ words These | wrote down
alphabetically and found the total words
used to be COB, the remainder being dupli-
Gates; of these, AIS only We're root words
the remaining 125 being plurals or deriva-
tives
The name of the writer of the article was
not given. but he must have been a man of
considerable scholastic attainments and II
he, in an article of such length, used so few
words what would an unlettered person use
provided he attempted the task. Probably
and presumably not one-fourth as many.
p. s. / must admit that the comparison
being written as against verbal use of
words is not conclusive. but has a relative
value. Yours respectfully,
c. F. PASHLEY.
