He was taken sick last January while at work, being fore man at the McCrum Howell plant, but had recovered so as to return to work In February he was taken sick again, and was for eight weeks at the Backus hospital, but returned to his homa three weeks ago and gradually failed.

NORWICH TOWN.
Gen. William A. Aiken Addresses Put pills of Town Street Schooi--social at Congregational Chapel = Dance at Stewart Greenman's.

At the Town street school Friday afternoon the pupils from the three upper rooms met in Principal Tarbox' s room to listen to a Memorial day ad- dress by Gen. William A. Aiken.
 Before the address questions were answered by the children regarding the flag; what do we mean by dipping the flag, by striking or lowering 1t, a flag at half mast, a flag hoisted with the union down? John Paul Jones proba- ply first raised a flag on shipboard. The first flag on land was raised over Fort Stanwix, near Rome, N. r.
 General Aiken said in the course of his talk: T once saw the American flag flying in foreign port in a little There was no earth on 1t except such as was brought from 120 miles away. It was the isle where St. Paul was shipwrecked.
 T sailed under the British flag and it was good to see our flag on that island! The sailing vessels of Amer ica have the whitest, clsanest sails; so the flag is the brightest and cleanest looking of any nation.
 We are to celebrate four kinds of memorials. The first is of the time when this town was first settled, a quarter of a thousand years ago. There were more trees then and Indians were about. The largest battle ever fought in this country with Indians was just below on the plain. There will be a pageant which you must all see show ing scenes of old times.
 'The second memorial is of the time when we were freed from the rule of King George-the birth of this nation. In the Revolution Connecticut sent more soldiers in proportion to her pop ulation than any of the colonies; and more men in number than any state except Massachusetts.
 Tn 1860 Connecticut repeated her history: three-fifths of the men who could bear arms went into this war. One morning in Washington after breakfast I saw MT. Lincoln with his son Tad on his shoulder entering the room where | was waiting to see him. l had messages from the war to take to the president. He sent messages to our war governor. Buckingham. can feel that great hand now.
 Now 1t seems as if every nation was preparing for war There are groups of men like Carnegie who are having meetings for peace. The Hague con- ference stands for peace. President Roosevelt arranged peace in the great war between Russia and Japan.
 When your country needs you I have no doubt you will respond I hope you will never have to go through what the soldiers did whom you will see marching on Monday. A higher de- gree of courage Is required to learn to say yes or no when conscience tells you what your duty is"

STRAINED HIS ANKLE.

While running a i've mile trial on Thursday John D. Nolan sprained his ankle so badly that he may not be able to run again this season.
 MT. Nolan was fast regaining his old time speed, having recently covered four miles and half in 25 minutes 10 seconds.
 This unfortunate accident will te re- gretted by many who hoped so see him on the track once more this season.
