ming of silk under pr. Aspinwail physician of that place. Even now, Mir. Weaver said. you can see the broken down and decaying mulberry orchards and few of the factories are still running. The manufacture of fabrics was almost wholly confined to that section of the state east of the river. This side of the river there were but few shops devoted to spin ming.
 In 1904 the first cotton min was established in Jewett City by the Jew etts; before the invention of the power loom. The adjustment of thread to- the sewing machine was what gave Willimantic its start in the manufac- ture of thread. The first woolen mill in the state was locateS in Hartford on the banks of the Little river, about at the foot of Mulberry street. In 1888 Orrin Thompson began the manufac- ture Of carpets in factory at Thomp- sonville. Before this carpet weaving had been domestic industry. The in dustry had now grown to enormous proportions and every conceivable kind or carpet is now made in the mills at Thompsonville. except Oriental rugs. ana good imitation of those Is made.
 The first thirty-five years of the last century marked a period of great industrial activity. Mir. Weaver said. ana It was in these years that most of the manufactories were founded. The clock industry started by MT. Terry, who made clocks in the winter and sold them in the summer as an ltinerant vendor, has grown into what Mir. Weaver said was the most import ant single industry in the state Con- Eecticut produces every year millions of the cheaper grade of clocks for the worlds supply. The rise of other in- dustries such as the brass manufac- tories, the invention and manufacture of the sewing machine, the Colt re- volver. the electro plating process. in vented by the Roger Brothers of Hart ford, which reyolutionized table ware: the invention of the ater-proofed clothing by Charles A. Goodyear. and the unique manufacture of piano keys in Ivoryton.
 The capital invested in Connecticut's manufactures, Mir. Weaver said, amounted to $500. 100000. It was also notable, he said. that practically all of the inventions and industries were our own and had not been imported.

MARRIAGE WILL TAKE PLACE. Time and Place Are Not Know, States
 Rear Admiral Swift.

Harry Duer Storer of Atlanta. Gs., whose marriage to Miss Madeline C.. Swift. Rear Admiral Swift's daughter. which was to have taken place to- day but was suddenly and indefinitely postponed. reached Boston Thursday afternoon. and went directly to the bedside of his fiancee in the comman- dant's quarters at the navy yard. says a Boston exchange.
 Mir. Storers anxiety was doubly lessened when he learned that Miss Swift's condition was improved and wedding would take place some time.
 "The marriage of MT. Storer to my daughter will take place. When don't know" said Rear Admiral Swift. Her marriage will entirely depend on her health," he continued Her breakdown, due to nervousness over the impending ceremony was sudden and entirely unexpected. I did not realize her condition was so serious. Since Mir Storer's arrival she appears to be much better.
 "They have talked together and it seems to have cheered her consider ably. The marriage will not take place at my home here. We are breaking up housekeeping. and all is in great confusion.
 T deeply regret the necessary post ponement of the wedding, but am pleased Miss Swifts condition is Inl- proved. I will remain here as long as my duties in Atlanta will permit !" was the only statement AIr. Storer would make.

PROMINENT MEN AND
 INDUSTRIES OF CONNECTICUT
Eastern Part of States Comes in for
 Big Share of Honors.

Some distinguished men of Connec- ticut and the rise of the industrial sys- tenn of the state were treated by For rest Morgan and Thomas s. Weaver respectively, in two interesting talks, given Thursday evening before the Unity club in Hartford
 Mir. Morgan divided the distinguish ed men of the state into three cate- gories-men of genius. men of talent, and cranks. In his talk he took up men of affairs, statesmen, soldiers thinkers and literary men, from Gov. Jonathan Trumbull down. Governor TrumbulJ. MT. Morgan considered to be rather less of a genius than a prod uct of Connecticut, and dealing with him was like dealing with Connecticut herself. All the great public ques- tions which are now national ques- t1ons, were then local. and had to be met by Governor Trumbull. who was at the same time executive adminis- trator, war minister, diplomat and judge in practically every court in the state. Governor Trumbull, Mr. Nor gan said. was one of the two rthree men without whom the revolution might have failed
 Plenty to Be Proud Of
 Benedict Arnold of Norwich, before he turned traitor. was one of the most magnificent soldiers ever born, the speaker said and plenty can be found in Arnolds career to be proud of. if one chooses to look for it. William Eaton of Woodstock, who marched 600 miles through the sands of Tripoli, was referred to by Mir. Morgan. aild his act in taking an Oriental city and holding 1t for the United States was characterized as one of the most TO- mantle in American history Nathan VI e.fv. r,n1r q threshold of what the speaker believed would have been a tremendous career Then there was John Brown. warrior and prophet. who converted his wife and twelve children to a recognition of his sublimity of character.
 Jonathan Edwards was given high place of honor in the roll of Connec- ticuts great men. and Mir Morgan said that unless we recognize the in- tellectual stimulus. which he exerted on very great men. we would fail in our duty As intellectual and moral mediators, Lyman and Henry Ward Beecher were cited as the greatest ex- amples. Somewhat less distinguished, perhaps, was the great theologian, Horace Bushnell.
 Among the literary lights of Con- necticut, MT. Morgan took up the Hartford Wits" Noah Webster, who. he said. had something of the crank about him: FitzGreene Haller7., char acterized as the greatest poet whom Connecticut has produced; Lydia Huntley Sigourney, not of the higher literary ranks. who taught young wom- en to read good books. write bad verse and lead good lives; the immortal liar riet Beecher Stowe, and John Ffske. No section of it's size in the country Mir. Morgan said. had done more to advance the nation than Connecticut
 Factory System of State.
 Mir. Weaver took up the rise and development of the factory system in Connecticut, describing the particular inventions which made possible the growth of the great industries in diff ferent parts of the state. The earliest attempt at spinning was in Mansfield in the year 175s. This was the spin

BIG STACK 100 FEET HIGH.
Good Progress Noted at New Paper
 Mill in MontviIIe.


 Horatio Bigelow of the Bigelow- Hartman Construction company stat ed to a Montville correspondent that he expected the three concrete pile drivers in use by the Raymond Pile company on the new paper mill will be through with their contract by the end of the present week, when they will be taken down and shipped south to a new job. The taking down and shipment of these huge pieces of machinery is no light task, even for the experienced men in charge When the pile drivers arrived in Montville they were received over the Central Vermont railway, but they will be shipped out on barges and will be lowed south. It was also stated that once the pile drivers were out of the way the progress on the buildings will be much more rapid than at present.
 The west wall of the main building has been raised several feet during the past few days and as soon as the last concrete piles have been driven down on the east and south lines the forms for the base will be set up. An- other concrete mixing marchine ar- rived on the job Wednesday and has been set up in order to keep an abun- dant supply of material ready.
 The big brick chimney is now up to height of about 100 feet. and is easily discernible from the trolley line at Hill Top. The additional 75 feet will be completed in a few days, with good weather. Another lighter laden with brick was received at the wharf this week, and will be unloaded as soon as 1t can be berthed. Work on the dam. which has been at 8 practical standstill for few days, has been re- sumed and preparations made for a commencement on the concrete work there.

 Chief Hopkins was a guest of the local deDartment 95 years ago when Chief Carrier was at the head of the department. and recalled the fire pa rade the day he was here and the sub sequent jollification in Breed hall. He vividly recalled the plano nlaying of H. T. Miller which so impressed him at the time, and sent his regards to the genial professor.

NEW LONDON COUNTY,
 SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
New Trial Ordered in Case of Fidelity and Casualty Company vs. Thames Ferry company-No Error in Mystic Case,

The supreme court of errors of the state of Connecticut handed down for ty decisions at New Haven on Friday. Two of the number concerned this county.
 In the case of the Fidelity and Cas- ualty company vs. the Thames Ferry company of New London, an action to recover damages, error was found and a new trial was ordered. The opinion is by Judge Thayer. This suit was for s2,500 and was heard in the court of common pleas and judgment given for the defendant to recover costs of $47.60. The suit was over premiums which 1t is claimed the ferry company did not pay in accordance with the terms of the policy whereby the plain tiff agreed to insure and indemify the defendant The decision was given by Judge Waller July 6, 1908, but the case on the appeal of the plaintiff was not heard by the supreme court till the De- tober term, 1909, owing to the death of Frank T. Brown, who was attorney for the defendant.
 In the case of R. A. Sherman's Sons company vs. the Industrial and Manu- featuring company and others of Ston- ington, an action to foreclose a lien, no error was found. The opinion is by Judge Roraback. The plaintiffs were given judgment for about S5,100 for a lumber bill in the superior court and the court would not allow an offset of $500 for land alleged to have been agreed to in payment and an appeal followed
 The action of the supreme court in finding no error in the appeal of the organized charities in their case against Burton Mansfield. administra- tor of the Lucy H. Baldwin estate, brings to close a long fight for a portion of the estate of Mrs. Board man. The plaintiffs claimed that Mrs Boardman had promised to leave the organization the sum of s10,O00, but when the will was probated 1t was found to contain no such provision, and suit was brought to collect that amount from the estate. The superior court decided against the plaintiff

IS IT WRONG TO sTRIkEa
Norwich Pastor to Preach on Question
 Asked in Anonymous Letter.

Rev. w. T. Thayer, pastor of the First Baptist church, received the following letter one day this week:
 Mir Thayer: Is it wrong for a Christian to join in a strike? Som } of us fellows are troubled about the matter and we don't agree. We thought you'd say something about 1t Sunday night while preaching about profit and loss in the Christian life. VIII you answer this question next Sunday night, explaining verse of 13 Roflians?
 Signed, Six Working Men of the West Side.
 While Mir. Thayer passes the ordi- nary anonymous letter unnoticed, he has consented to comply with tfiis re- quest because of its apparent interest to workingmen and because of the present industrial conditions. for the church should have a vital interest in everything that pertains to the life Of men.
