SOCIETY OF THE
 COLONIAL WARS Unveiling of Charter Oak Memorial at
 Hartford. BRIEF CEREMONIES. Annual Meeting of the So- ciety Followed at the
 Country Club.
BRIEF CEREMONIES.

Hartford, June 13.-The unveiling of the Charter Oak Memorial at the cor ner of Charter Oak place and Charter Oak avenue by the Society of the Col onlal Wars of Connecticut took place to-day. Members of the order from all part of the state attended the cere- monies, which mark the end of four years of effort to mark the site of the original Charter Oak. An informal unveiling and dedication took place in the afternoon, which was followed by the annual court and election of officers at the Country club in Far mington.
 In the evening at the club there were address by Hon. Charles H. Bos- worth of Springfield, President Will liam D. Mackenzie of the Hartford Theological seminary, Rev. J. Calvin Goddard of Salisbury, and Professor M. W. Jacobus. Charles E. Gross acted as toastmaster. Preceding the supper the annual meeting and elec- tion of officers were held and the gov ernor, vice-president, secretary, treas urer, registrar, historian and chaplain chosen for the coming year,
 The monument which was draped with the American flag, was unveiled and short address was made by Charles B. Gross, governor of the order in Connecticut.
 The memorial which is from plans prepared by Charles A. Platt of New York, stands approximately ten feet in height and is built of granite and marble It has a square base with a cylindrical top on which is an inscrip- tion giving it's history and stating what it commemorates. It is placed near the apex of the triangular park between Charter Oak place and Char ter Oak avenue. The land at present stands in the name of James J. Good win.
 The plot has been graded and near the memorial a young white oak tree has been planted, said to be the grand son of the original Charter Oak. The acorn from which 1t was grown was secured by Park Superintendent George A. Parker, who vouches for the fact that this came from tree grown from an acorn secured from the orig inal Charter Oak. The memorial is the result of agitation in the Society of Colonial Wars, which started four years ago, and was purchased by sub years ago, and was purchased by sub ecription. The present committee, ap- pointed two years ago, consists of James J. Goodwin, Ralph w. Cutler and Rev. Dr. Francis Goodwin. It has not been definitely de- cided just what disposition will be made of the memorial, although it has been proposed to offer it to the city. This is matter which will have to be decided at the annual court in Pennington, and it is understood that the committe in making it's report and asking for a discharge will include such recommendation.
 At the completion of the exercises at the monument the party went by spec ial trolleyto the Country club in Far mington where officers were elected and other business of the adjourned annual meeting transacted Members of the society from New Haven and other cities and towns in the state ad- dressed the exercises and meeting.

RINcLrNG BROTHERS, CIRCUS.
High-saInrled Clowns Have Formed n
 Club.

Hish"Salnrled Clowns Have Formed q Club.
 It may sound "fishy,' but the high salaried clowns with Ringling Broth CTS circus have formed an exclusive club Only the real funny fellows, the big guns, belong. It Is planned after the high-toned clubs, ln.other walks of life One would think that the saw dust of the ring and the rough and tumble of circus life cwould place the clown company on an equal footing But evidently 1t doesn't. There are aristocratic clowns and clowns of low er degree. The members of the Puff Club are the Joe Jeffersons and Hem ry lrvings of the clowning profession. The clown that drifts from circus to circus, with nc particular seriousness of purpose, cannot become a member of the Puff Club An applicant must prove that he has done something for the dignity and success ofNthe business. He must be of good name, temperate, and a successful student of ways and means to make his speciality attractive to the public Of the forty clowns with Ringing Brothers only twenty are el gible to the Puff club. Of the non members several are on probation and others are of the stroller class that for- bids their membership. Doc Keely is president of the original club Al Miaco is vice-president and George Hartzel is secretary.
 One of the distinguishing features of the club is that it's members may use puff Clowns may all look alike to the public, but In this circus colony they are divided into two classes-those that use puff and those that do not. Puff is fragrant, creamy powder, like swansdown, and the members of the Puff club use It lavishly. The per- former outside of the charmed circle muss content himself with white, greasy paint, If a clown is dropped from the club, if he continues to work for the Ringling Brothers he is apt to find life rough sledding. The rules of the club are very strict. The clowns work in groups and provide their own properties. No clown can run counter to another set and detract from it's success. He must keep within his own

Ringing Brothers en- couraged the idea, and if the organiza- ton prospers upon the plan mapped out, it will probably be impossible for a clown next season to get employment with this big show, unless he can pre- sent a card of membership in the unique Puff club.

Passes Through Shadow of Earth and
 Is Partially Obscuzed.
 The moon was in partial eclipse last night the phenomenon being distinctly ly visible Montgomery from 9 o'clock until about midnight, although at eer- tain times during this period, the sate- lite was obscured by clouds. The eclipse was most distinct about 10:30 o'clock. By midnight, .Ae moon almost entirely emerged from the shadow.
 Hundreds of Montgomerians were much interested in the phenomenon and could be seen standing out in tho streets and in the yards gazing up at the moon A few used glasses and obtained a better view but when there was no cloud to obscure the satellite, it could be plainly seen with the naked eye.
 The magnitude of the eclipse was about two-thirds Of the visible sur face of the moon. At the time of the eclipse the earth was passing between | the moon and the sun. but the moon did not pass squarely through the shadow of the earth and therefore 1t was not total eclipse. Partial eclipses of the satellite occur only about twice a year
