James Mulligan, boss weaver at the
Faulkner Woolen mill, resigned his posi-.
tion Saturday to accept one with the
Standard company of Providence, r. l.
Before leaving his help presented him
with a gold watch and chain, the pre-
sentation being made by Mrs. Orth as
follows:
Mr.. Mulligan: AS you are about to
leave US, and as the friendly relations ex-
listing between rs are to be severed, allow
me to present to you this testimonial of
our regard for you as friend, and our
appreciation Of your worth as an over
seer. This gift, with the exception Of our
superintendent, comes from the help en-
ployed In your room and, with 1t, you
have our best wishes for your future sue
cess. AS you may from time to time
note the hours drawn upon the face of
this watch may they remind you of the
hours spent with us In the weave room of
the Faulkner mill at Stafford Springs,
Connecticut. We will now bid you good
bye, hoping that somewhere on the great
highway Of life we may meet again.
Mr.. Mulligan thanked his help for their
kindness In the following words:
My dear friends: Two years and six
months ago came among you, a complete
stranger. During that time 1 have tried
to deal with you as should wish to be
dealt by. This gathering brings back to
my mind a similar scene of many years
ago In my native village, Pascoag. At
that time we gathered around Stafford
Springs man for the same purpose that
you gather around me to-day, and, what
Is most striking, see here some relatives
and many friends of his In this little circle
at the present time. l refer to James
Brennan, who was for many years the
very able and genial superintendent of the
Fox mills. Now, as l listen to your tes-
timonial OF affection and receive from
your hands this beautiful token of your
esteem, must say that you have forgot
ten and forgiven my many faults, and
magnified to great extent what little
good may have done. When this warp
OF life Is woven, and we are called be-
yond, sincerely hope the Father of US
all will be as indulgent and forgiving as
you are here to-day.
Mr.. Mulligan gave a reception to his
weavers and friends from one to three at
the residence of Mrs. O'Halloran. Many
Of his weavers went to the depot to bid
goodbye to one who had been so kind to
them In the weave room. Mr.. Mulligan
Is succeeded In the Faulkner mill by
Walter Neiber of Providence.

The manufacturers of Stafford Springs
will give their first excursion to Watch
Hill and Block Island on Saturday of
this week, and cordially invite the public
to join with them for good time. We
do not believe that anyone doing business
In this vicinity will be injured in their
trade by having the excursion on Satur-
day. The people generally will find time
to trade, either before or after the excur-
sion, as they do on all holidays, no mat
ter what day of the week the holiday
comes on, and II there is a difference of
opinion upon this point, what need is
there Of closing the stores at all? In
nearly every store only a part of those
employed care to go, and If people come
In from the surrounding country to trade
someone should be there to supply their
wants. The advantages to the mills, as
well as to the help employed, have caused
as to start this Saturday excursion, which
we believe will commend itself as the
popular day for all when they once get
over the idea that has prevailed In former
times. The steamer, Block Island, Is
staunch and safe, and all stories to the
contrary have no foundation. The man.
agement of this excursion has arranged
for an extra supply of CLAIMS, and has
ordered the water for surf bathing to be
warmed up hot enough for invalids, 30
that there will be no shortage of anything
to make good time. Procession will
form on Haymarket square Saturday
morning at 2 o'clock, under the direction
Of Drum Major Clarkson of Springfield.
Per order committee.
Watch Hill, r. l., August 8, 1903.
Mr.. f. FAULKNER.
Dear Sir: Your letter duly received,
and In reply would say that l did not have
CLAIMS for the merchants excursion, but
/ don't believe there was anyone that felt
any worse about 1t than l did. Now II
have made my arrangements to have a
good dinner for your party on Saturday,
with plenty of CLAIMS and everything else
1t was no fault of mine that did not
have CLAIMS for the merchants. Ny party
from Long Island made q mistake In the
date, and had no way of communication.
/ shall do my best to give your people as
good dinner as can be secured at any
place In New England for the same
money. Please telegraph me the number
