poets for his success this time. Mr.
stanton first tried for the appointment
in 1898 and has made a strong bid fol
vt at each succeeding legislature. -Four
years ago he lost the appointment by a
vote of II to 10, and at the last legis-
lature he just missed it by a vote OF
II to II, so that he has made it the
closest kind of q shave for those who
have been successful over him.
For the past thirteen years he has
been a constable of this town, serving
always with vigor and efficiency, and
this year he has been a member of the
republican town committee for the first
time. putting in his work in his homa
district the West Side, which was the
only one in the city to show republican
ma jorities in the last election. 1t gave
the republican candidates maiorities
which ranged from for Baldwin tc
129 for Judge Aging.
Constable Stanton's wide acauaint-
anee in the county gives him a large
following of friends who would be
pleased to see him succeed in his can
didacy this time. and they would fee
that the post would be in capable
hands if the choice falls on him.

NORWICH WOMEN IN
SEARCH OF SILVER.
Members Of Committee of Colonial
Danes f'akin1 Study of Connecticut
Siiversmiths.

A very great interest in the study Of
early American silver ard silverslnitbs
is now being awakened, as the exhibit
in the Museum of Fine Arts ia Boston,
at the jamestown exposition and the
recent fine display at the Hudson
Fulton celebration give indication.
One must notice that in the works
on old silver very little mention is
made of Connecticut pieces. OF Con-
neeticut silversmiths hardly anything
has been known until recently, when
George NJ Curtis of Meriden, by dill
gent study of old neWspa pers, court
records. etc, has discovered that many
did work in Connecticut. Prof. Theo-
dofe S Wooisey of Yale university has
labored long and faithfully in the mat
ter of old silver and at his proInpting
and under his leadership the Connecti-
cut Society of Colonial Danes has de-
cided to take up the study OF Old Amer
lean silver owned in Connecticut, de-
catalogue which ultimately Will appear
in printed form. In connection Win
this will be naturally the discovery OF
the silversmiths who worked in TINS
state.
A large committee has been appoint
ed. and the Colonial Danes feel that tc
accomplish any thorough work worthy
of the cause or the state they must
have the cooperation OF the people OF
Connecticut. The work consists III
making descriptions OF pieces on ceIoe
for card catalogue, with the history
and photographs if possible. Persons
having any silver pisces made before
the year 1880 whieh they afe willing
to have thus recorded would confer a
great favor by communicating With
any of the members OF the COMMITTEES
This is work IN which it would seem
that every person interested in Con
necticut history would enter. desiring
to aid in a labor which will in the flu
| ture form a valuable part OF Connect
cut history.
Those of the committee from this
part of the state are: Miss Elizabeth
Girls Wold Black Hail, Lyme; Mrs. oil
