slavery organ OF that day, and
Mrs. Howe became his assistant
and frequent contributor during
the abolition agitation.
Sturdy Champion of Liberty.
Strong in her sympathies with
the slave, the attack on Fort Sum-
ter intensified her ardor for the
cause of liberty, and to one of the
greatest poems produced during
the war, which came from her
hand, she gave the name of "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic" 1t
was one of the potent inspirations
of the Union soldiers in the Civil
War, and is a poem which will
doubtless ever be in literature the
most vivid and fervent expression
of the aspiration which fired the
northern heart. 1t was inspired,
she said, by the sight of troops
marching to the tune of John
Browns Body"
Of her later years, her philoso-
ply of life, her interest and faith
in human nature and her plea for
freedom and equality for women
have found expression in her
books, though since old age has
emphasized each little burden her
large literary effusions have been
fewer, and lately she has been
content merely to contribute an
occasional verse to the press of
the day. The more significant of
her works since the Civil War
have been: Sex and Education"
in 1874; Modern Society,"" in
1881; "A Life of Margaret Full
ler," two years later, and valuable
photographed "reminiscences,
which were published in 1899.
One of her most recent works is
Sketches of Representative
Women of New England" Her
poems were collected in a volume
which she called, From Sunset
Ridge: Poems Old and New"
while her most recent contribu-
tons to poetic literature have
been the treasured privilege Of
many magazines to print.
After the war, in about 1870,
Mrs. Howe became convinced of
the justice of political enfran-
chisement for women, and has al
ways been known as noted adj
vocate of women's suffrage and OF
prison and other reforms. For
these views she owed her enlight-
eminent to Mrs. Lucy Stone, who
struggled in it's behalf only in
vain. Mrs. Howe's daughters
have become followers of their
mothers views concerning free
dom for women, and with her

States, recently celebrated her
ninety-frst birthday at her home
on eBacon street. Congratula-
tons and good wishes expressing
the hope that she will pass the
century mark, flowed in from all
parts of the land and gave evil
dence of the esteem and reverence
in which this venerable author,
virile poetess and loyal patriot is
held. Surrounded as she is by her
children and her grandchildren,
the event drew attention to one
more hour in the restful evening
she is passing of her long career
of good decides, that were not for
her family or sex alone, but for
the whole world, which has been
the beneficiary of her endeavors.
Although always day to be
marked out on the calendar, es-
pecially by the literary world, her
birthday this year was made more
picturesque by the fact that por-
trait of her by her son-inlaw,
John Elliott, was hung in the New
Art Museum in Boston. Mrs.
Howe, whose mind is almost as
bright and clear as when she was
many years younger, showed
much delight over the painting of
herself, and she talked with many
friends about it, recalling episodes
in her eventful life when she was
quite active in the world of let
tiers and of reform.
Julia Ward Howe was born in
1919, near Bowling Green, New
York City, Samuel Ward, her
father, was a man of wealth and
culture, and he gave his daughter
a liberal education. Possessing
true scholastic spirit and brain
with which to think out her own
ideas, she formed conception of
all SUBJECTS peculiarly her own,
which became more settled and
clear when her father and her
brother died in the same year.
Though she married DR.. Samuel
G. Howe at the age of twenty
three and spent several years sub
sequent to that event in Europe,
she did not forsake her student
habits.
Her first distinct essay in liter
ature came in the publication of a
volume of her poems, entitled
passion Flowers" while soon af-
forwards she wrote play, en-
tiled "The Worlds Own" which
was produced in New York, and
later "Hypolytus." In 1859 she
went with Doctor Howe to Cuba,
and book on the island life came
from her pen. Doctor Howe as
sumed the editorship of the Bos-

have taken a prominent part in
promulgating them.
The nonagenarian author and
philanthropist has been highly
honored time and time again, by
universities, which have conferred
upon her degrees of doctor of let
tiers, which seldom come to wo-
men. Sheerfulness has brighten
ed her life's history with it's many
tear-stained chapters-indeed, she
has been called "obstinately opti-
mistic."
An Obstinate Optimist.
A profitable insight into the
mind and character of this re-
markably woman is given in her
unbounded faith in human nature.
AS she herself has explained as
an example of her philosophy,
"My hearts desire was to assist
the effort of those who sought for
helpful philosophy of life. l am
glad if have borne the message
of good hope for humanity, de-
spite the faults and limitations of
individuals.
"That hope casts its light over
the efforts of years that are past,
and gilds for me, with ineffaceable
glow the future of our race. The
world grows better everywhere
all the time. Wherever human eff
fort to given end is intermitten,
society does not attain that end,
and is in danger of gradually los
ing tt from view, and thus OF suf-
fering an unconscious deteriora-
ton which it may become difficult
to relieve. I do not think the
manners OF socalled polite society
are quite so polite as they were in
my youth. Young women of fash
ion seem to have lost in dignity
and in general tone and culture.
Young men of fashion seem to re-
gard the young ladies with less
esteem and Difference, and an easy
standard of manner is the result.
"On the other hand, outside the
circles of fashion, I find the tone
of taste and culture much higher
than l remember it to have been
ing nobler and better lives, filling
in my youth. I find women lead
larger and higher places, enjoying
the upper air of thought where
they used to rest upon the very
soil of domestic care and detail.
So the community gains, although
one class loses, and that, remem-
Der, the class which assumes to
give to the rest the standard of
taste. Instead of dwelling upon
the fault of our neighbors, let us
ask whether we are not, one and
all of us, under sacred obligations

 Presented to John TroIand

In the window of his plumbing store at No. 23 West Main street John Tro- land is displaying q genuine old Irish spinning wheel which was recently brought from Belfast and presented to NIT. Troland by a friend with whoch he formerly made a European trip. It is the kind called a castle wheel and differs considerably from the one as- sociated with New England colonists. noticeably in having a small wheel in stead of the familiar wheel of large size.
 MT. Trolands spinning wheel is in a. fine state of preservation although it is probably over 100 years old, hint of age being given by the wormholes in the woodwork. The Irish wheel is run by a foot treadle and is double banded. turning both bobbin and spin dle. On the wheel is a bunch of flax all ready for spinning.

CHANGE Quit Coffee and Got We'll.

A womans coffee experience is in- teresting. For two weeks at a time l have taken no food but skim milk, for solid food would ferment and cause such distress that I could hardly breathe at times. also excruciatfng pain and heart palpitation and all the time I was so nervous and restless.
 Prom childhood up I had been a coffee and tea drinker and for the past 20 years I have been trying diff ferent physicians but could get only temporary relief Then I read an ar ticle telling how some one had been cured by leaving off coffee and drink . ing Postum, and it seemed so plea sant cided to try Postum in place of coffee.
 '.I made the change from coffee to Postum and such a change there is in me that I don't feel like the same per son. We all found Postum delicious and like it better than coffee. My health now is wonderfully good
 AS soon as I made the shift from coffee to Postum l got better and now all my troubles are gone. 1 am f1eshy. my food assimilates. the pressure in the chest and palpitation are all gone, my bowels are reg ular, have no more stomach trouble. and my headaches are gone. Remember l did not use nedicineS at all-just left off coffee and drank Postum steadily"

The contracts have been let and the work virtually strated for the staff house and the nurses cottages at the Norwich State hospital It was ex- pected that the bids for these build 1ngS would be opened at the last meet ing of the trustees, but several of the contractors had not been able to get in their bids. hence there was a de- lay The bids have now been opened and the contract for the staff house has been awarded to the Torrihgton Building company, while the nurses cottage will be erected by the Wheat on Building & Lumber Co. of Putnam. The former is to be erected south of the walk leading to the administra- tion building while the cottages will be placed east of the electric track. All of these buildings have been pre- viously described Work will be done on these at once and has virtually started, as the batterboards have been placed and the excavations will be soon under way.
 Landscape Architect Lorin Under wood was at the hospital on Tuesday consulting with Dr. H. M Pollock re- garding the plans for the laying out of the grounds about the institution, which are practically completed now. The grounds will, of course, be graded and there will be a walk leading di rectly to the administration building, while the drives to that building will form half a circle. There will also be other walks and drives about the property of the hospital and at the south will be the athletic field, with baseball diamond and grandstand, straightaway running track and an oval track for athletic sports.
 In laying out the grounds, it is planned to use mostly native trees, rather than to bring in those not ac customed to this section, and make the locality look like foreign insti- tuition in a strange place. Native trees and shrubs with a good number of perennials will be set out about the grounds the flowers giving the grounds a cheerful aspect and no
