A $4,000 suit for breach OF promise.
just brought by Miss Marie Chuk, of "a
Centre street. against Verne ]. Nick. of
20 Ward street, gave the first intimationl
to numerous friends today that their.
reported engagement had been broken
and plans for their expected marriage
called OF. The courtship had extended
over a Year. and had excitcd the inter-
est of theie aequa%intanees.
Miss Cluk, a pretty girl OF 1s, in
speaking of her suit, said: Il met
Verne last April, after he had been in

told me that he loved me a little later
and requested that | give all my other
friends up for him Verne vas con
stantly with me ard proved a most
amiabIe boy. He took me to many
summer resorts and introduced me to
his folks, who seemed to think that l
was just tine sort of 4 wife for their
son.
After several months of this happi-
ness he suggested that | go to the jew

altogether and refused TO marry me, l
I started the suit for breach of promise"

states were written by Nick, We're given
to her lawyer, Julius Feldman, and all
proclaim loudly the love of the youth

says:

in love with You ard think that you
I love me. Sweetheart, | was much
pleased with you last night and really
hated to leave you. Dear. if you only

 The Roger from whom this family dates it's descent was not only colonial governor of Connecticut, but a servant of the colonies in many responsible positions. both military and civil. He stood in the front rank of the strong men of his time In his History of American Literature" the late Moses Colt Tyler said of him: He began life in ignorance and poverty He ended it, at nearly 90 years of age crowned with earthly prosperity. full Of honor and knowledge, a Nestor d patriot, a sage His one human frail- ty lurked in an invincibie illusion that he was a poet" But to those who of his life this amiable weakness has only the more endeared him.
 Sons and grandsonS and those still farther down the line have done honor to their distinguished lineage. Two Wolcotts, father and son, both bear ing the name of Oliver were govern ors of Connecticut The former was also signer of the Declaration of Independence An incident in connec- ton with that period is of interest now since it has been recently proposed that the statue of George III. on Bowling Green, New York city, torn down in 1776, be restored The ma terial was gilded lead and that sug- gested a practical use for it.

AL though federaIist, he was continued in that office under President Jeffer- son until he insisted that his resig- nation be accepted. When the charter of the United States bank expired he employed his capital in founding the Bank of North America and was it's first president.
 The family has continued prominent in public affairs during the succeeding generations One who attended the reunion was Darien Sts-rton Wolcott of Pittsburg, whose father was Assist ant Secretary of War under Stanton, and whose mother was Stanton's sis ter.

Enjoying Block Island Outing.

In letter received Thursday from Block Island George F. Hyde writes of the good times the boys from here are having. They have named their cottage the Wayside Inn. The princi- pal road to the Valll cottages passes directly in front-many teams are passing as excursionists have to go by this cottage on their way to the ocean and the South Cliff.
 Bunches of pond lilies make the din ing room attractive. A large kite is sent Up every day which greatly inter ests the islanders. The bathing in the high surf is great treat to the camp CTS. Tuesday morning of this week was spent deep sea fishing when a number of large sea bass were caught
 Several interesting places on the island have been visited, such as the South Cliff light house where every thing about the light was explained. One of the best times is playing base ball in a large lot next to the cottage, many of the islanders joining in. Those at present at the camp are Charles SchwenI0, Allison Rogers, Clarence Thomas, Earl Spicer, Robert Stery John Browning and G. F Hyde, mem bers of the Kings Business club.

CANOE TRIP ON
 CONNECTICUT RIVER. Winship Case and Earl D. Butler Gone
 Tenf Days.

Earl Dudley Butler. son of Mir. and Mrs Earl c. Butler, Of Middletown, and Winship Case of Norwich have return ed from a ten days canoe trip up the Connecticut river. They progressed as far as Hadley and were very courte- ously treated by the clubs at Hartford. Springfield, Holyoke, Smiths Ferry and Amherst. There was but one rain storm during their absence. and thai night they remained in Springfield. When they passed under Enfield bridge stones were thrown at them by people on the bridge, and a brick was dropped so close to them that they feared being struck. They did not retaIiate. ar they had heard that the two sons of Dr. Hallock and Church Hubbard of Crom- well had been stoned in the same way and that when one of the boys had tried to frighten their tormentors by shooting 8 revolver they had been talk en into custody and held and finally fined. They overlook this party at Holyoke and learned of the circum- stances, but the boys did not say how much they had been fined. They were not discouraged by the trip and said they would ascend the Connecticut as far as they could.

The Candle Industry.

In this age of electric lights and other modern and powerful illuminants the tallow and wax candle era seems very remote. But it has by no means vanished. Candle making is a consid- erable industry today.
 They are quite the fashion in swell banquet rooms for table lighting, and many of them are used by churches. Candle dipping hereabouts is probably a, lost art, but if the tallow candle is hard to find there are other sources of supply. as evidenced by this news item in The Norwich Bulletin:
 Bayberry bushes are loaded with berries. promising a good tallow crop, and a Brooklyn, Conn, woman makes pin money by manufacturing bayberry taIIow candles for use in churches
 There are a few of these bushes in Bristol but not many, and probably the product is not at all utilized. The late Silas Darlington, for many years a historic character on Chippins Hill, would have nothing in his house for illumination but bayberry candles and detested an oil lamp. So far as known he was the last household devotee of the candle in this sregion-Bristol Press.
