The funeral and burial services Of Jedediah Randall Gay End, were held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, in the chapel at Massapeag, where he had been a resident for many years.
 MT. Gays death was quite sudden, occurring in Boston Tuesdmy. His nephew, R. L. W'NlklHy of New Ha- ven. brought the ,dy home for burial. MT. Gay was one of the most honored and best loved citizens of Montvile, having served his town and state m many high offices, which included the legislature
 As a loyal veteran, loving his com nades, as friend and neighbor serv- ing his fellows in any way he could; as a devoted husband to his wife who dled about year ago, and as an ex- emplary citizen, MT Gay will be very greatly missed by a large circle ol friends and relatives

AT HE DAVIS rHEATER.
Excellent Vaudeville Acts and Beau tifuI PhotopIays Pleased Large Au' diences Thursday.

For the midweek change of bill at the Davis theater there Is splen- did programme of attractions offered and MT. Davis himself stated that he believes it the best balanced he has had in his houses for some time. The various acts and the pictures received liberal applause and favor The Dou- ble Cross is a well acted photoplay, laid in the western hills. The work or the Lambert brothers on the banjo is quick and snappy and their dancing is clean cut, while the idea or turning off all house lights and with illumi- mated instruments accompanying slides thrown on the moving picture screen, with descriptive music, makes novel finish The Redman's Friendship is an absorbing film. Dynes and Dynes as tugglers and singers handle the clubs cleverly and the singing of William Dyne is unusual. his telephone song giving him a chance to use two voices, the full. rich barytone of a man and then changing to the high, sweet tones of a. woman. His rendition of When I was twenty-one and you were sweet | sixteen" was especially well done and received
 The Miller of Burgundy is a beau | tiful photoplay and the Jim Ten Brook | trio which followed IL IS the rlgnt Klnu
 in the right place. A noteworthy
 thing in this act, which is supposedly
 built for laughing purposes only, Is that chance is given, not only for
 some clever bits of acting but Arthur Mueller in the course of his imper-
 sonations, not only attempted Ruben stein's Melody in F, but did it so well
 as to make it a sure enough treat for l every music lover in the house.
 The show closed with Martha's Re l bellion, a photoplay in which the pop l ular John Bunny has very good part l and in which he does some of the very | best work he has ever done.

GROToN, WANTS SEPARATION
 FROM TOWN OF MYSTIC
Talk of Placing Petition Before Leg
 isIature for New Division.

As a result of the Groton town meeting Tuesday night. at which 1t was voted to abolish the Mystic high school, considerable feeling has been engendered between Mystic and Groton bank and there is some talk of peti- tioning the legislature for a different l division of township of Groton It is set forth that the town of Groton as 1t now exists is unfair to both Mystic and Groton. and an attempt will probably be made to readjust the ! line and divide the territory into two | parts.
 | It is proposed that the dividing line | be Fort Hill and that Mystic town consist of Mystic west of the Mystic river, Noank and West Mystic, which would make a good sized town, and 1 have Groton town embrace Center | Groton. P6quonoc and Groton bor- Ough, which would also make a good sized town Mystic east of the Mystic river would remain as 1t is now in the town of Stonington. It is claimed that the territory which now comprises the towns of Steningten and Mystic is large. enough to be divided into three towns and each town would have a 1 fair sized population.
 | 1S HhNAA eh OAF4Slui IL IS DIDIUSEQ 10 eliminate the opposition which has developed several times In the past l between Mystic and Groton. The town of Groton as 1t stands has two large villages at either end, Mystic at the east and Groton at the west end with very little population in the in- tervening territory and it is claimed that what would be of benefit to one of these villages is not to the other. Il is often the case that Mystic under | takes to accomplish something which would be of especial advantage to the village and would not necessarily be conducive to the welfare of Groton

 It Is concluded generally that sucl

CONSERVATIVES NOT
 WANTED IN SOUTHWEST.
Better That They Should Stay at
 Home Among Friends.

Physicians in all of the eastern and southern states will be asked by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to stop sending consumptives in the last stages of tuberculosis and without sufficient funds to the southwestern part of the United States in search of health.
 While 1t Is impossible to tell accu- rately how many consumptivess there are at present living in Colorado New Mexico, Arizona, Southern CaHfor mia and western Texas, it is proba- ble that no less than 10 per cent, of the 5000, 900 people in this territory have tuberculosis themselves or have come to the fest because some mem Der of the family has had it. Every year the heal, ,th authorities estimate. not less than 10,0 900 oensumptives hopelessly diseased come west to die, For these caes, the climate of this section of the country can dc nothing, and they are compelled to die in strange surroundings and thousands of miles from home and friends,
 The National association points cut further than from 56 to 66 per cent of these advanced eases are too pOeF to provide the proper neeessaFies of llf6, af0 they are SlCftSt StbtNSu t5 death or compelled te accept the Hlea- ger charity which this part of the country affords
 In an effort to stop the migration of consumptives of this class to the southwest, the national association will ask physicians to be more care ful in ordering patients to go away, and will also ask railroads to dlscon- tinue their practice of selling char 1 fty'' tickets to those who cannot af- | ford to pay full fare. No cOnsump- tive should go to Colorado, California, | or the west for his health, says the association, unless has has a good l chance for recovery from his disease, 1 and unless especially he has at least | s1 ,0OO to spend for this purpose, over
 and above what his family may need
 "Tuberculosis can be cured in any part of the United States, and it is not
 necessary for a tuberculosis patent tc go west. Whenever possible, the na- tional association urges tuberculosis patients who have not ample funds tc
 go to a sanaorium near home, and il they cannot do this, to take the cure in their own homes, under the direc- | tion of a physician
 The New London county sanatorIum near at hand, should make the solu-
 tion of this problem easy herea0outs.

 Recovering From Sudden Attack of Illness This Week.

particularly in evidence on his anni- versary.
 Away back in war times MT Tubbs was a band man and he has been one all these years. As a member of the Norwich brass band in 1862 under Leader F. w. White he accompanied the 18th regiment to New York. and his "reminiscences of that period are vivid. Of the members of that fla nous old Norwich band only two members are now living besides Mir. Tubbs-Beriah s. Rathbun of Church street and John Steiner Then in 1867 when the Third regiment band came into existence, MT. Tubbs became a member of that body. It was in 1872 that he organized Tubbs' Military band, and under his directorship their fame has waxed great and spread far as an organization of musicians of the first order And now, though he can not be with the boys, MT. Tubbs is still their "bandmaster emeritus" and when does on rare occasions get among them he finds himself in their center the pride of them all Last year the band paid q pretty tribute to their C leader by serenading him on their way to the roque grounds and the mem bers are planning to visit him infOr- mally this birthday.
 In 1871 Mir. Tubbs became mem Der of Uncas lodge of Odd Fellows and he took great pride in his lons connection with that order which was pleasingly observed by them last sum mer on the completion of forty years as a member.
 q guess I'm the oldest baRdmastel in the state for consecutive service, MT. Tubbs said Thursday night, anC he did not add what he might have for he is modest, that he is one of tn, best known and most popular. MT. Tubbs was taken with a rathe sudden attack of intestinal trouble or Wednesday night but under medica care he was back to his normal condi tion Thursday.
