s. A. BENNETT AT 80

Vigorous Old Canaanite Celebrates His Birthday on Staten Island.
 The Staten Islander, of April 8, con- tained the following concerning. for mer Canaan man:
 Major Samuel A. Bennett, who is con- nected with the engir ering construction department in the Richmond Borough Hall, celebrated the eightieth anniver- sary of his birth Saturday. and congrat- ulations are in order. Major Bennett held his position for about ten years, and resides on Fort Place. He was born in Canaan, March 30, 1882, and was Mass. He went to Chemung County in 1852, to engage in business and remain ed there until he enlisted in the One Hundred and Seventh Regiment, New York Volunteers. Besides his wife he has a daughter. who married Judge Luclen F. Burpee, a supreme court judge of Connecticut.
 The One Hundred and Seventh Regi- ment, to which Major Bennett was at- tached, was organized under the first call for three hundred thousand volun- teers, in July 1869. The state of New York, through the executive, offered as a prize to the first state regiment recruit ed under that call that should be ready to proceed to the front, silk banner suitably inscribed. The One Hundred and Seventh had the proud distinction of being the first of many regiments re- oruited under that call, that was fully organized and ready to take the field, and it received the prize banner.
 On December 1, Major Bennett. was ordered to report to General A. s. Williams for staff duty as typographical in which position he continued to serve until the close of the war.
 On May 4, 1864, the regiment struck tents and started on those memorable campaigns, which were all summed up in the familiar phrase, "Sherman's March to the Sea-" No soldier ever revered and honored his general more than did Major Bennett the hero of the march to the sea.
 We regret exceedingly our inability to give in full the interesting story told by this soldier of the great civil war.
 Major Bennett is frequently the cen- tre of a group of fellow officials in the Borough Hall, and his ever.interesting personal narrative of the great war is told in his plain. charming manner. No citizen of the Borough is respected more than he, and scores of congratulations greeted him along with earnest hopes that many future milestones will be passes by the grand old man.
 During the day Major Bennett's heart was gladdened by the presentation on the part of his friends of a beautiful floral horseshoe and an exquisite scarf pin.

Sick Family Ate We'll

The members of the family of Mrs. Amanda Vachon, of Willimantic, are good eaters. They were in quarantine for five weeks and half because of smallpox and the town naturally had to take care of them. A grocer was told to give them such groceries and meats as they might need. When the bill came to the Windham selectmen there was some surprise when it was seen that in the time mentioned bill of over $1OO had been contracted. One week the bill for groceries and meats was over $20. A close scruting of the various items show ed that some days the family had pork, lamb and steak. They received ninety five cans of vegetables, such as peas. corn and tomatoes. Each day they had two dozen eggs, pound of the best but ter and a lot of other things, such as pies, cakes and preserves. The family consists of a mother and six children.

Thinking the little daughter of her employers had fallen out of bed, she rushed upstairs, but was confronted by a colored man who demanded the baby. The girl put up a fight, but the negro drew a revolver, and grabbed her, tear ing her clothes The girl screamed as she fought, and the negro became fright ened and ran away, whereupon the girl telephoned the police. and MT. and Mrs. Barnes were hurriedIy sent for. Mrs. Barnes was much overcome by the girl's s story, but neither the police nor the townspeople generally are disposed to take the story very seriously.

The "fireside campaign" has been undertaken by the Committee of Rail- road Managers, who are in controversy with the locomotive engineers on the subject of wages. Pamphlets contain ing the demands of the men and the answer of the railroads are being sent broadcast throughout the territory af- fected.
 The railroads pamphlet is addressed to all railroad employees, railroad share holders, bondholders. and the public Please take this home, read carefully and let your families read it." is the re- guest made by the roads. "What the Men Ask, What the Railroads Reply, What the Public Thinks, is the homely title of this unique booklet, which indi cates the lengths to which the railroads are going to see that the public and all railroad employees are fully informed of this wage controversy, which the roads say threatens bankruptcy for a number of the lines
 While the engineers are circulating a strike ballot among the employees of the different lines, the Arrangements of the railroads are putting in the hands of the employees in train service this pamphlet, which, in addition to the demands of the men and the roads reply, contains edito- rials reprinted from number of the country's leading newspapers. It is be- ing sent to the bondholders, shareholders, members of Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, and other commercial bodies in the territory in which the rail roads affected by the engineers de- mands operate.
 Never before in a concerted wage movement has the side of capital come before the bar of public opinion to plead it's case along the unusual lines adopted by the railroads. More than a million copies were circulated last week.
