TO ERECT A MEMORIAL
To Thomas Buckingham, an Ancestor
 of Governor Buckingham.


 A descendant of Thomas Bucking- ham, ancestor of Governor Bucking- ham writes to the Hartford Courant as follows;
 Rev. Thomas Buckingham, youngest child of Thomas Buckingham. the Pur- itan settler, was born in 1646. He prob- ably studied under Rev. John Whiting of Hartford, and preached in Wethers- field in 1864. when but IS years of age. He commenced preaching in Sayhrook before he was 19 quite early in 1865, immediately after the town had set- tied It's difficulties with his predeces- sor, Rev. Jeremiah Peck. MT. Bucking ham continued to preach in Saybrook until his death. on April 1, 1709. His remains. with those of his wife, Hester Hosmer. lie buried in the old ceme- tery at saybrook Point, marked by low headstones, which are crumbling away and soon there will be nothing to mark the resting place of an illustrious ancestor, who did so much toward forming a solid foundation on which our church and state are built.
 Mir. Buckingham was not ordained and installed pastor of the church un- til the spring of 1870, Q little over five years from the time he commenced the regular supply of the pulpit This was owing to the unsettled condition his predecessor had left in the church but his good judgment and faithful ness finally won all hearts to him. His townsmen held him in high estimation, as he was often appointed on commit tees in business of difficulty, as being judicious and wise counsellor. Mir. Buckingham was one of the founders and trustees of Yale college (which celebrated it's first commencement in saybrook on September 13, 17O2)) from 17OO until his decease.
 He held a high rank among the min isters of his time, and was moderator of that famous synod which convened at Saybrook in 170S and formed the "Saybrook Platform of Eclesiastic Form for Churches of Connecticut" Among other noted descendants of MT. Buckingham was Hon. William A. Buckingham our war governor. In 1905 Deacon G. F. Buckingham started a fund to erect a fitting memorial to our honored ancestor, It has grown slow l ly until the committee of which George W. Dennison of Saybrook is treasurer has decided to use what money has been contributed in erecting nemor- ial in the early summer, when it is hoped some public demonstration may be held worthy of the man.
 Among the descendants of MT. Buck ingham it seems as if there must be many more who ought to be interested in this movement and 1t is hoped that they will communicate with MT. Denni- son at once.

CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES.
Responsible for Most of the Disturb
 ances in the Empire.

"Of the many riots and disturbances men have taken place in China dur ing the last half century or more it would be safe to assume that the se- cret societies with which the country is honeyeombed are more or less re- sponsible for most, says the North China Daily News. Tt is questiona- ble whether foreigners have any ade- quate conception of the power pos sessed by these organizations, the notifications of which are so compre- hensive. They are countless in num- Der, protean in form and invariably shrouded in mystery. The influence of some of the leaders, controlling as they do many thousands of adherents is unique and far reaching. There are few Chinese laborers, not to speak of multitudes in the higher ranks of life, who do not belong to a secret society. And so deeply ingrained in the Chinese heart and mind is this Idea of the ne- cessity of being associated together in this way that no matter where his lot may be cast the Chinaman is sure to find these secret organizations springing up and fiourishlng. The high binders of California and kindred societies in Burmah, the Straits Settle ments and elsewhere afford abundant evidence of this fact.
 "Ostensibly the object of these soci- cites, be they civil or military, ortho- dox or heterodox, is the cultivation and practice of virtue-a convenient parfse which may signify little or much according to circumstances. There can, however, be no doubt that many of them owe their origin to the widespread corruption of off1cialdom in China, with the resultant necessity laid upon the people of finding some method of defence against tyranny and injustice. The Chinese secret so- ciety is trade union; 1t is all which that implies and much more; for, act ing independently of the official courts for the administration of justice, 1t has a secret tribunal of its own, which adjudicates in cases affecting the ir- 1 terests of it's members, and not infre- quently reNerses the decisions of the recognized courts of justice; nor does it lack the power of infiicting adequate penalties on individuals who have come under its displeasure.
 "The influence of the secret societies i in China is not by any means altogeth- CT of a sinister nature. Anti-dynastic to very pronounced degree many of them are, while others are both anti foreign and anti-Christian; neverthe- less, it cannot be denied that no in- considerable proportion of them have for their main object the protection of the rights of the people and the incul- cation of virtue. Some of them en- join strict habits of vegetarianism on their members; others are opposed to opium and tobacco smoking; some will not permit the indulgence in wine or other intoxicating liquors, while others are opposed to the worship of idols and will not allow their members to offer incense at the temples and shrines."
