possible Captain Smith, the corps ad- jutant, of Greenwich. may become one, but that has not been announced
 Beyond the circle of his close frIenus Major Hulrs retirement comes as somewhat of a surprise. It was known several months ago that he contem- plated retirement, but at that tune ms friends persuaded him to remain Then 1t was realized that, he was making some sacrifie, as his private law prac- tce and the duties of the state sattor- tention.
 Major Hull began his military career in Company E. Third infantry, by en- listing as a private on Feb. 25. 1876 ganized Company H. Third Connecticut volunteer infantry. and was mustered into the United States service as cap- tain during the war with Spain on July 2, 1S92- On Sept. 23 he was pro- noted to major and on Oct IT he re- signed.
 Major Hull was instrumental in or ganizing First company, Coast Artil- lery, c. N. G., which was the nucleus of the coast artillery corps in this state. He was appointed captain of First company on April 8, 1902. and was promoted to be major on July i6, 1903. At that time he commanded the two companies of coast artillery. Ma jor Hull retained his station and was a field officer of the corps when the companies of the Third infantry were '
 In an interview Friday morning Ma jor Hull said: When the coast artii- lery was started General Cole, very anxious to bring the militia of Connec- ticut in line with objects of the war department, asked me if would un- dertake to raise a coast artillery com- pany. After some canvassing the First company was raised. We got together an exceptionally well qualified body of men for that service. There were a number of good nnathenaticians, quite a number of good scholars and a good many first class machinists. D com pany, Third regiment, was turned into a coast artillery organization. A little later the corps was made to consist of fourteen companies.
 After that was accomplished felt as though all that I had been expected to undertake was finished. Then I thought I ought to get out. especially on account of the press of public and private business. talked with Gen. era1 Cole and Colonel Fitch and they agreed that what I set out to do had been brought about. While I am out of the service, still have very lively interest in it."

 WILL BE USED SUNDAY.
Choir Rehearsed With 1t on Friday Evening, and Everything Will Be Complsted This Morning on the Changes

The renovated organ of Christ church will be used for the first time Tor service on Sunday morning. ev- erything being practically completed, the Workmen putting on the finishing touches this morning. As was hoped, the organ can be used at the confirma- fion service when Bishop Brewster will be present Sunday
 On Friday evening the organ was used for the first time for the rehears- al of the choir by Choir Director Hab- ekotte. who found 1t worked finely. The changes in the organ have been made through the Pierce fund left by Mrs Pierce in memory of her husband, William Pierce, and they include the making of the organ up to date in all particulars, with mechanical, pneumat- ic and electric attachments. It is new with the exception of the serviceable inside pipes. and the outside pipes
 One of the biggest changes is the To- cation of the keydesl5 in the chancel, at the right as one faces the chanceI, the organ having been previously played from the gallery. There is no doubt but that sthe church is now equipped with an excellent instru- ment. The original organ was built in 1893.
 When the chanceI of the church was remodeled a. few years ago and new furniture installed the console was built in, in anticipation of this change. which has now been made. From the keydeSk to the organ runs an electric cable. The blowing apparatus has been contributed by the Ladies' guild of the church
 The organ has two manuals with a compass of 61 notes each and pedal compass with 32 notes, electric pneu- matic action The great organ has 8 stops. the swell organ 10 stops and the pedal has stops. There are four couplers on the great organ, three on the swell organ and two on the pedal. There are four combination pistons on the great organ four combination pis- tons on the swell organ and three op- erating pedal stops.
 There are also a balance swell, re- versed great to pedal, wind indica- tor. balance crescendo, swell tremble. crescendo indicator. The blowing ap- paratus consists of an electric "orgob- To- of one and one-haf horsepower, and the current action Is supplied by T5-watt generator 'belted to the shaft of the "Orgoblo.''

Following the retirement of Major Hadlai A. Hull, the local militia officers are enthusiastic over the probable cleo ton oflCapt. John A. Hagberg of this city. commander of the Third com pany, c. A. C., to fill the vacancy.
 In special orders issued on Thursday from the adjutant generals office the application of Major Hadiai A.

 The senior captain of the corps Is Capt David Connor of the Tenth com pany in New London. As he has never been a candidate, and there have been several vacancies while he has been such, it is considered that he will not be a candidate this time. The second oldest captain is Captain Hagberg of this city and it is understood the com pany officers in this part of the state are for him, with many in the other com panies.
 Norwich is the only city with two coast artillery companies which has not a field officer. and it is felt that the present vacancy should be filled by a local officer. Captain Hagberg has been in the service of the state for eighteen years and has an excellent record He has been commander of companies here for many years and went out as an officer in the Third reg iment during the Spanish war. He is a charter member of Company A,which is now the Third company, C. A. c. He is one of the best shots in the state and has represented the state on two different state teams in the national matches.
