W. c. PHELPS NINETY-sIX YEARS
 OF AGE.
Remembers With Distinctness Events
 Ninety-two Years Ago.

Remembers With Distinctness Events Ninety-two Years Ago.
 The Winsted Citizen of September 4 says: William c. Phelps, who is one of Winsted's oldest and most venerable citizens, passed his ninety-sixth birth day anniversary to-day. Mir. Phelps had the same warm greeting and cheery smile this morning that he all ways has and there is little or no change in his appearance, although he says he finds that sometimes a word that he wants to use does not come as readily to his mind as formerly.
 This morning he spent two hours trimmed up some limbs that had been cut off from the shade trees in front of his home on High street. When the morning paper arrived he sat down in his sunny bow window and>read such of the news as interested him.
 William Calvin Phelps was born on what is known as the Harvey Pinney Place in Millbrook, September 1, 1897, when Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States, son of Daniel Cal win Phelps. When he was four years of age his parents set out for Ohio with yoke of oxen and a white horse as leader to draw them!
 MT. Phelps said this morning that he could remember ninety-two years ago when they turned the corner at Kings vile, Ashtabula county, Ohio, which is the town in which they settled. There was a log school house on the corner and it was at recess time in the after noon in October, and the boys were out playing and his mother said to him, That is where you'll have to go to school" He left Kingsville seventy-six years ago and he says there is not a single person living in that town, now that. was old enough then for me to be acquainted with and knew every per- son in the town"
 'I am in good health, am writing this without spectacles and am able to walk mile every day when it does not rain. Two of my four children are still living and within four rods of each other. One with his wife and daughter. He was sixty years old last June, the other a widow with whom live as she has no children; she will be sixty y-seyen next December. have, no reason to. complain of the providences of my life but much reason to be thankful for it's blessings. | may not live to another reunion on earth but hope for that re- union above where no one will be ah- sent"

New Haven Company Left Last Evening -Joined at Hartford by First Com pany-The Monument DedicatIon- The Monument.
 Both companies of the Foot Guard will act as escort to Governor Cham
 berlain on the occasion of his visit to
 Lake George. Each company will take along it's drum corps, but no band. The New Haven command left for Lake George last evening on the train leaving here at 8:2S D. m. and the
 Hartford company took the same train.
 They arrived at Springfield at 10:40,
 where they took Pullman sleeping cars | although the start from Springfield was
 not made until BY this morning. The command is due to arrive at Albany at 6:45 g.. m.. and will leave for Lake
 George at o'clock. taking breakfast
 on the train. Lake George will be
 reached at $40.
 The plan of the exercises contempIates
 a tableau on the battlefield in which it is expected the Connecticut companies will take part, but there will be no sham battle. The unveiling of the monu-
 ment will be the chief feature of the celebration on Tuesday. The Connecti-
 cut delegation will leave Lake George tomorrow night and will arrive We'd resday morning.
 The unveiling tomorrow. September 8, by the society of Colonial Wars in the State Of New York. of monument to commemorate the battle of Lake George in 1775. will mark he fruition of seven years of effort on the part of the com- mittee in charge.
 Since the work was begun the Society of Colonial Wars of the New York State Historical association have induced the state to purchase for a state park the land where the battle was fought, thus insuring the preservation of its historic features. The lines of old Fort George can to-day be easily traced, the soldiers ovens and military spring can still be seen. and the old road continues to be the highway to the lake. The monu- ment, placed were General William Johnson's tent stood during the battle, consists of bronze group of heroic size representing the Mohawk chief, King Hendrick, demonstrating to General Johnson the wisdom of holding his forces together in one body. He holds three arrows in his hand-one could be readily broken, three with great diffi-
 culty. This bronze group, designed by
 Albert Weinert, surmounts pedestal of
 rough granite twelve feet high. In can
 be seen for many miles down the late.
 It is one of the finest monuments in
 the state, comparing favorably with
 MacMonnies' Nathan Hale" in the City
 Hall park. New York. The ceremonies
 incident to the unveiling will be partici-
 pated in by the governors of New York
 and Massachusetts, the naval reserve of
 New York and United States infantry
 and cavalry. Addresses will be made

 general of the Society of Colonial Wars;
 J. William Beekman, governor of the
 New York society: Hon. Chauncey M.
 Depew and the visiting governors.

 at the new Fort William Henry hotel

Gel bart and daughter Hallie, formerly of this city, and Andrew Hanitch, jr., who for eight years had charge of the etch- ing department of the Meriden Silver Plate company here.

THE KNIGHTLY SOLDIER.
"Reminiscences of Adjutant Henry w,
 Camp Recalled.

"Reminiscences of Adjutant Henry w. Camp Recalled.
 Interesting "reminiscences of Adjutant Henry W. Camp of the Tenth Connec- tieut, "the Knightly Soldier" who was
 killed in the battle of Darby Town
 Road, October 13, 1864, were recalled by
 the reunion of that command in Hart
 ford, Thursday. Adjutant camp, a graduate of Yale college in the class of 1 1860, belonged in Hartford and went to the front with the field and staff of the Tenth in 1861. Past Commander W. H. Rich of Will liam T. Minor post of Stamford, who
 was the last man that saw Adjutant
 Camp alive, was at the reunion last
 Thursday. With Sergeant Caleb Holmes
 MT. Rich had been on a scouting de- tail with Adjutant Camp from daylight
 until 10 o'clock of the day in which the gallant Hartford leader was in- stantly killed by the enemy's bullets. The scouts had located the position of the Confederates and Adjutant Camp, who was major of the Tenth at the time Of the battle. was conscious of a
 presentiment that the engagement would be of a fatal character so far as he was concerned personally and be- fore the charge was ordered he trans ferred his watch to Chaplain Trum- bull. Colonel John L.. Otis, who died a number of years ago at Northampton,
 Mass, was in command of the regiment
 in the engagement and was on the right
 as the command engaged in the charge.
 Major Camp was on the left and the two who had been on the scouting ex-
 petition with him were at his side. The major was instantly killed in the
 encounter, receiving half dozen of
 the enemy's bullets in the charge. Ser geant Holmes was instantly killed and
 Rich was taken prisoner, Andrew J.
 Wardell of Somers, who was at the re-
 union Thursday was also near Major
 Camp when he was killed. He was &C., companied by two lads at the reunion
 Thursday, Henry Norton Scofield and
 Robert Cromwell Miller, sons of the members of the firm. They were great
 ly pleased at being present with the veterans of the war.
 The Rev. H. Clay Trumbull, who was not able to attend the days festivities, sent note of regret. He expressed his deepest regard for the veterans of the Old Tenth, which rendered brilliant
 service in the war.

GLU7TOMY

Is more common than we may think II
we defne gluttony as eating beyond the
Dody's need OF sustenance and beyond
the stoniach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact Of this
gluttony IS marked by its consequences
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi.
ton is 0weak 4 stomach. The weak /
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu.
triton for the body, and soon the & weak.
ness spreads from the stomach to other
organs.

possible claimants. IL no claimants

criminal on being released from his
