 Some of this branch of the family removed to East Haddam. There was Captain John about this time, and good ancestor to appropriate. He is. without doubt. John, son of Thomas.
 Captain John died 1734, and his was the first burial fin one of the East Had dam grave yards. His widow married Samuel Adams, also of East Haddam, whose first wife, Eleanor Lee, be- queathed him rich legacy-16 chil- dren. Capt. John Holmes and wife also had large family.
 Other patriarchs of the Holmes fam- fly are George freeman of Roxbury, l639; Isaac of Marshfield, John and William of Plymouth, 1892 William was lieutenant in the Pequot war, but as he neglected to take wife, no descendants are scanning the records , on his account. Let us hope that he was well fined for this little oversight, for bachelors were fined, and quite properly. too.

John Townsend Trowbridqe.

In Arlington. Mass, to this city in or der 70 take his first look at ma chine which had been his dream from boyhood-a machine which would fly He was introduced to several of the ayfators, among them Glen Curtiss, Grahame White, Wilbur White and others, and the old gentleman was immensely pleased to meet them.
 When MT. Trowbridge wrote about Darius Green, 40 years ago, no one of hat time expected to see flying ma chine that would fly. There were lots of machines that wouldn't, but the .dea of usurping the realm of the birds carried something uncanny with it. The baleful results of experiments of hose times were always looked upon. more or less. as deserved
 Speaking of the days of Darius Green, the poet says: T never dream ed when l wrote that poem that such thing as a flying machine was pos sible in my time. 1 never had the thought of actually seeing one While l have never attempted to build one, l have followed the aeroplane devel- opment from the first, and it has al ways seemed to me that the greatest factor and the hardest to overcome would be the motive force.
 'l have never known that there were such powerful motors, and motors so light, as they are now using They were a revelation to me. l don't care to make any prophecies as to the flu. ture, but it seems to me that the large machine for carrying passengers Is possible, and only a matter of time

BeckWifh Family

The Beckwith family is very old, and dates back with distinct record of each generation to the times of William the Conqueror in England. But strange as it may seem. the found CT of the family was not named Beck with. but de Malebisse.
 Sir Hugh de Malebisse was brave Norman knight. and he came with William in l066 from Normandy to England. He is mentioned in the Domesday book as a land holder He had three sons; one of them became a monk and the other two established families in the new country to which they had come
 Almost 200 years later. during which time the de Maleblsse family had dis tinguished itself III peace and in war. Sir Hercules de Malebisse. one of Sir Hughs descendants. married Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce. Her father was Sir William Bruce. lord of Ugle- barby. and he was descended from Sir Robert Bruce. progenitor of the royal Bruces of Scotland. Beckwith. Bick- with or Beckworth, which come from the old English words beck, brook. and worth, an estate. were the names applied to one of Lady Dame Bruce's possessions, and she persuaded her husband to take the name of Beckwith for himself and his successors. His grandson. Hamon Beckwith. in 1889 by special grant. assumed the arms of the de Malebisses.
 So it is that that the family is named Beckwith. and not de Malebisse
 The family made four distinct settle ments in America About 1870 there fourished in England a Marmaduke Beckwith of Dacre and Clint He sold his lands in Clint. which had been in the family for generations. and bought lands in Fea+herstone and Acton. He had three sons. Thomas. Mathew and Roger. Thomas had two sons. Thomas and William, and William was the first Beekwith in America He came 10 Virginia in 1907 His brothers son George. old Marmaduke's great-grand- son. came to Maryland in 164S Mar maduke's second sou. Mathew. uncle to William and great-uncIe to Thomas, came to Connecticut in l635. His third son. Roger. was the great-grandfather of Sir Marmaduke. who came to Vir- ginia in 1700.
 William. the first settler here. went to London from Featherstone as mer- chant tailor. In 1907 he joined Capt John Smith and came to Jamestown in the Phoenix.
 Mathew. who come here next. settled at Saybrook Point. Conn, in 1885. Three years later he went to Bram- ford. and in l642 was among the first settlers at Hartford to Lyme. Conn, and made large pur- chases of land on the Mantle river

In 1865 he fought in the battle of Ann Arundel with Lord Baltimores party against the Nirginians. Although he died in England. where he went on business in l676. he left five children in this country
 There is not much to say about Sir Marmaduke. who came here in TOO and settled in Virginia. where his grandfather's cousin William had set. tied almost 100 years before, except that he also established branch of the family which fourished and pros- pered.
 Two coats of arms are borne by the Beckwiths in this country. The Con- nectieut branch. which is by far the largest, and which now extends throughout the United States and into Canada, is entitled to arms blazoned: Argent, a chevron gules. fretty or, between three hinds' heads erased of the second. on a chief engrailed gules. a saltire between two roses argent. The Virginia branch, founded by Will liam in 1907. has arms emblazoned: Argent. a chevron between three hinds' heads erased gules. The former arms are illustrated

THAT SILLY HABIT OF HURRY
Bad, senseless and Inexcusable, Says Man Who Seems to Have
 Reason With Him.

My attention was recently called to an article. observed the retired professor, fin which the writer re. buked us individually and as a nation for our lack of manners due to the hurry habit. He classed this hahit among the bad, senseless, inexcusahle habits; and I fully agree with him. Watch a crowd anywhere. pitching of trains and boats or surging onto them fighting for first places going upstairs or down: squirming and elbowing to get through a gateway or an open door, and if you were to inquire not one man Jack or woman Marie could tell you why he or she was on the dead jump.

THO SHOES ARE
TWISTED, COPPER
MAKES ARREST
Aroused Suddenly, Policeman of
South Orange Takes Two
to Lookup.

Instead of waiting to put on his cbl-
lar and cuffs as n member OF the
South Orange police force is said to
have done before attempting to make
an arrest several years ago. Acting
Marshal Thomas j. Sherry, of South
Orange, early today took two prisoners
to the lookup with his left shoe on his
right foot and vice-versa.
The Official was awakened from his
slumbers at 1910 a. m. by two men
shouting and fighting In the middle OF
the road in front of his home In Val
ley street.
you fellows had better move on OUT
of there!" the biuecoat shouted from
his bedroom window.
No heed was taken of the warning.
and Sherry jumped into his trousers,
and, without taking time to put on col
lar, cuffs or even to distinguish the
right shoe from the left. put them on
the opposite feet and placed the dis
turbers under arrest.
The men were Harry Martin and VIII
lam Hoover, of st. Ann avenue, New
York. Both are employed as plasterers
on the South Orange High School build
ling, and had evidently been drinking
little too much last night. Sherry
had the men in the village jail eight
minutes after he first heard them shout,
On his way to the police station the
acting marshal met half of the village
force or the way to the scene. The pa
trolmen had been summoned by resi-
dents of the vicinity who had been
awakened and believed that a murder
was being committed.
When arraigned before Police Justice
Martin plead guilty and were fined 81

on when you told us to and now we
have TO pay the penalty" said Hoover

money.
