There are few that are thanked. There are millions who deserve thanks Higher than the stars is the beroism Of daily life, for no wish for recompense ever tarnighed nor de- based it.

The delegates to the annual con Vention of the Connecticut State Fire mems association, which was held in New London on Wednesday and Thursday Of the present week, real ize more than ever that the firemen of the Seaside City have hospitality down to perfection and the visiting fire fighters almost to a man openly declared that the reception was the best ever. and this sentiment was openly expressed for the members by the president of the association. While there were open fire houses and local firemen in attendance to show all courtesies, still the nub of the whole reception was the clambake served by the department in the Armstrong building, under the personal supefvi- sion of Foreman Charles R. Brown of Niagara company, and who was chair man of the reception committee. It was voted by the representatives of all the companies of the department, so far as the feed was concerned, to leave it entirely with Brownie, and they came near knowing just what they were doing, for there is no man his equal in that particular line. The firemen delegates, with the mayor and the members of the court of common council, were treated to a clambake more complete than is served at any price and at any shore resort. All the usual ingredients were there and many extras, while in addition there were the cold Holsters, the steamed clans, the clam fritters, the cucum- bers, tomatoes, salad and watermelon and chasers of various kinds.

What has become of the thousands stinence by the late Bishop TierneY, asked an old fellow on the outer edge of the convention. These boys took the pledge until they attained the age of A, and now many of these same boys are out of their teens and very few of them are in the ranks of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, and the reason is lack of activity among the members of the societies, women as well as men. It is understood that the new board of officers are to make special effort to increase the member ship in the mems societies and prom ise a decided increase in that line by the next convention.

 pr. James Edward Nswcomb, one of the most noted of New York specialist who died Tuesday at his summer home in the Adirondacks, was born in New Lon don b5 years ago, the son of the late Mir. and Mrs. James Newcomb and brother of Frederic $. Newcomb of New London. He was educated in ths schools of his native city and was a member of the advance class of the old Bartlett High school at the time of it's discontinuance. He was vale dictorian of the first class that grad uated from the present Bulkeley school which had but four members, Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice, now pastor of St Mary's Catholic church, Green vile, and the late Joshua A. Bolles and Arthur Lynch.
 Dr. NeWcomb graduated from Yale with high honors in 1880, going to that university after spending a year with his father in the dry goods business. He studied medicine for three years at the College of Physicians and Sur geons of New York and graduated among the first ten of a large class. He was an interne at Bellevue hos
 
 on the permanent staff of that hos pital and retained the position during the balance of his life. He was very successful in his private practice and gradually became specialist in throat and nose diseases. He won early mem bership and later the presidency of the International Laryngological society and was a lecturer at Columbia uni versity. He leaves a widow, formerly Miss Elizabeth Wilmot, of New York City, who has done great work in the anti d-tuberculosis movement, es- peeially in behalf of the working girls of New York, establishing the Stony Wold sanatorium at Lake Kushaqla N. Y., near the Newcomb sum mer home. Dr. Neweomb was & trus- tee of Calvary Baptist church in New York City and was for many years treasurer.

The annual convention of the Cath
 olic Total Abstinence Union of Con necticut was held in New London on Monday and Tuesday and the dele
 gates were pleased with the reception given by members of the local socie ties and were satisfied with the sue cess of the growth of the organization during the past year and with the gen eral business conducted at the cOnven- ton. This organization is doing great beneficial work throughout the state, but it seems to be mainly in the in- crease of the ladies rather than in the mems societies and as a result the state union is becoming gradually a Women's rather than a mems organi- zation, and the real purpose of the total abstinence union is being set aside for social functions The la
 dies were first admitted into the un- ion, not because they needed the to- tai abstinence pledge to abstain from intoxicating drink and to prevent as much as possible, by advice and exam pie, the sin of intemperance In others, but rather as an auxiliary to aid in bringing men to understand that it was well to be total absta iners and avoid the temptation that might lead to the life of 8 drunkard. It is evil dent there Is lack of activity in the efforts to get men to become total ab- stainers and If this continues it will not be many years before there will be an even more noticeable change in the composition of the membership of the union than is now manifest.

Just then one who knew the actual conditions quietly informed the po-
 iceman that men in the crowd had been invited by the speaker to ask questions and that the questioning did not seem to suit, by reason of the vim dictiveness of the speaker and the spectator, hence the cry for police pro- lection The officers sensed the situ- ation, and, realizing that the social ist speaker had not the right to speak to the exclusion of the rights of oth CTS, the officers returned to their reg ular station of duty and the wordy war went on for an hour longer, with a nip and-tuck contest until the speaker made his parting remarks and departed. Then the auditors assem bled in groups and discussed the many questions that had been raised until they became so turbulent that the police made voluntary appearance and dispersed the crowd. This little episode indicates that there's to hc some lively political times from now on till election day.

Finally the fellow who invited the disturbance by calling for questions became very much disturbed and yell ed for protection to a police officer who was on duty at the corner of Bank and State streets, one hundred and fifty feet distant, but received no response. Then he acclaimed that the police were in league with the republi cans and the democrats and were not courageous enough to preserve order at a socialist meeting. After awhile the speaker sent a special messenger for the police officer telling him that there was a TOW going on, and the policeman, accompanied by Rounds man Beebe, forced their way into the crowd and in the direction of the railroad conductor, under the guidance of the messenger, who is also a rail- roader and the acknowledged leader of the socialist party in New Lon don
