THE DUKE WASN'T THROUGH.

A we'll known local character is sam Wellington, colored man, known as the luke" The duke is a fine cook and often accompanies camping parties.
 Last fall a party of young men Sam was with decided to scare him with an apparition. Leaving the tent in his charge one night, on a pretense of go- ing to the village, one of the party quf- etly returned enveloped from head to foot in a sheet and with face well cov- cred with flour. He took his stand in the doorway. Suddenly Sam looked up, and. emitting one horrible yell, dove through the rear of the tent and went down the road at a terrific pace. The ghost pursued.
 After about a mile of running the duke was ready to drop and sat down on a log, perspirlng freely. The ghost came up and sat down on the same log, pulling and blowing.
 Absolute silence reigned for minute, and then the ghost remarked in a dis guised voice, "We went some didn't .we?''
 4 sam, whose teeth were chattering. like castanets, replied, Yes, we did go some, an you jess wait till An gets mah breff an we'll go some more .''-Boston Herald.

AGED MIR. DICKERMAN !. SUICIDES IN CHESHIRE
tcontinued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) this charge was nolled and Clancy re- ceived sentence in state prison, which he Is now serving.
 The next event of interest was when
 MT. Dickerman filed divorce proceedings against his wife in the superior court, and stated that his wife had gone to
 Cheshire and was residing at the home of his nephew, William Fenn, in that town. Early yesterday morning MT. Dicker- mans attorneys withdrew the action for divorce from the superior court. George D. Dickerman was an old and
 well known resident of Hamden, where he had resided all his life. He resided in the northwestern part of the town on
 property known as the West Woods, l which he owned.
 Yesterday morning, after the divorce proceedings had been withdrawn, he drove to Cheshire, to the home of Will liam Fem. He found his wife there with two other women. He asked her to come back and live with him, noti-
 flying her that the divorce proceedings had been withdrawrl. She absolutely refused to have anything to do with | him. He then took a 32-calibre revolv-
 CT from his pocket, but told them not to
 be frightened as it was not loaded.
 After some talk he opened the door and
 going a little ways into the back yard
 he placed the revolver to his right tenn pie and fired. The bullet entered the temple and took downward court in- | to the body, severing large artery in its course and death was instantan- eous.
 | Mrs. Dickerman told Medical Exam iner Denison, who was immediately summoned, that she did not see her
 husband put the gun to his head, but | she and the other two women saw him from back window as he fell. She
 sent word to the medical examiner of what had taken place, and on his ar
 rival he ordered the body taken to the undertaking rooms of George Keeler.
 He later gave permission to MT. Dick
 erfnan's son, Fletcher Dickerman, who
 is a motorman on the Whitney avenue | line, to take charge of the body. ] Mr. Dickerman was sixty-seven years
 old and had been married twice. His | first wife died number of years ago
 and a few years ago he married the
 second Mrs. Dickerman, who was near
 ly forty years younger than her hus- band. For awhile married life went
 along smoothly, but recently, according
 to the neighbors, there has been a great deal of trouble between the couple.

WILLIMANTIc FIRMS WORK FOR
 PRESIDF,NTpS STJMMER. HOME

sThESlDETNIS IF S sSUMJMEfL f1OME E.
 A steady stream of visitors poured into the woodworking mill of Hillhouse & Taylor, Saturday afternoon and on
 Sunday, availing themselves of the firms permission to inspect the mantel which is nearly completed, and which will adorn the trophy room of President Roosevslt's summer home at Oyster Bay. The mantel was greatly admired
 It is of camagon wood, which came from the Philippine Islands, and which was exhibited at the St. Louis fair in the form of a large log, and later pre- ssnted to the president. It is very val uable and scarce and is dark green in color. It is very heavy and hard and the grain is beautiful. The mantel stands six feet high and ten feet in width. Above the fireplace is some fine hand-carved work, while on either side of the fireplace will stand two heavy black walnut columns, also hand carved. Between the columns is large pansl of walnut and at the top of each panel is a smaller panel of white holly. The center of each panel contains a black walnut shield to which it is in-
 tended to attach the stuffed heads of
 wild animals, the spells of MT Roose- | velt's gun. On the outer sides of the
 mantel, panels of cypress will be ussd. The ceiling above the mantel, which l will be gotten out here and taken to Oyster Bay, will be constructed of hazel
 beams and cypress panels, selected for
 their grain, and finished in wax. Among other fixtures being built for the
 same room, and which will harmonlze l with the. mantel and ceiling, are two large bookcases of black walnut, with a
 row of lockers in the bottom two feet
 high. Also a number of columns of
 black walnut, both colonial and square,
 and two French window doors, one of
 which will open on to the varanda and the other into the dining hall,

as a 5 ary, so unjust towards our churches, ought to be repudiated as untruth in
 fact and especially destructive in it's eff fects.
 We desire also expressly to disa-
 VOW the assumption that by the ac- ceptance of such donations, or by the use of any mans gift of that which is lawfully his own, the trustees of a
 charity enter into an alliance with him in his business, become yoke fellows
 with him in wrong practices, or in any way compromise themselves with ques- tionable methods of corporations. We wish decisively to deny your assump- tions that, while sustaining the actions 1 of the American Board. we are not as l free as we. have always been in our pull i pits to rebuke any wrongs that may be exposed in our economic system.
 We in turn must protest when you insist that, because of our customs or principles concerning charitable contri-
 buttons, we are not in sympathy with the working people, and that our min Eistry is become the silenced witness of any threatening social injustice You have no reasonable or moral right to so judge us. We depreeate the continued repetition of all such assertions as mis- Heading the unchurched people, and as hurtful to the dearest interests of our common Christianity.
 We would add in conclusion that, in Jour openion, one of the chief virtues now needed for the elevation of busi- ness morals Is the exercise of the in ltelligent discrimination; and one of the
 supreme duties of the church in regard to all questions of social ethics is first Ito learn the facts and then to speak the truth in love"

 ". Orr UnnbIe to Deliver Address
 Rev. pr. Kidd Proposed as Orator.
 A meeting of the joint Memorial day committee was held in City hall last evening and the plans are nearly com pleted for the coming observance.
 Grand Marshal Henry s. Peck an nounced that he had received accept ances for participation in the parade for Memorial day from all the military or ganizations in the city except Troop A. Tn addition to this a number of civic organizations had signified their inten- tions of taking part. The parade is to be divided up into three sections. The first will be the militia which will be led by the grand marshal: the second will
 be the G. A. R., which will be under Marshal Sherwood s. Thompson, and thethird will be the patriotic orders. wiaich will be in charge of Marshal Will Ham Applegate. There are a number of aides to be appointed by the various marshals. General Peck will have as his escort the regular brigade staff of the second regiment This is a differ ence from other years in which the grand marshal has always had mixed staff The parade is to start promptly
 at 9 a. m. and will be finished before II a. m.
 Grand Marshal Peck has selected the following line of march which was by vote adopted last evening: Formation on the central Green, out the north gate of Green to Elm street, to York street, to Chapel street. to Church street, to Orange street, to State street, I to Bradley street, to Orange street. to Trumbull street to Temple street, to the Green, in side. of which the military or ganizations will be from Temple street l in brigade front at present arms and re view the rest of the procession. The l parade will then be disbanded. If the l day is not to warm or ths streets too l wet General Peck may have, counter I march out Orange street when the pro- icession turns into that street from
 Bradley street He went oyer the line of march yesterday and figuring on several five minute rests it took him l ljust an hour and five minutes. 1t is expected that the parade will be a large land most successful one. The commit
 tee is very much pleased with the fact
 that all the militia in this city as well
 las the Governors Foot guard have re- sponded to the invitation to participate. A communication was received from Frederick w. Orr to the effect that ow- ling to the fact that he was suffering from throat trouble he would be unable
 to deliver the address at the exercises lat the New Haven theater the night before. The comnittes were very sorry
 that MT. Orr would be unable to take
 part. They voted to invite Rev.. Dr. Kidd of the Trinity M. D. church In his stead, although 1t Is not known that Dr. Kidd will be able to accept.
 I All the committees reported that good
 progress was being made in the prepar-
 ations.

85p tion was cast on their general courage and readiness to attack public evils. This is to be regretted, as no such of fense was intended. The question rais- ed merely shows that the defense that have come under the observation of the committee have the character describ- led. If these brethren have, in the course of their apology, either fairly met or brought forward evidence to refute the charges made, or acknowl- |edged their validity or expressed them selves not on the legality of the charges but on the moral and social in iquity involved. the citation of such facts in their letter would have been their best method of reply.
