G. A. R. Veterans
 Hold Convention
Recommend That Per Cap
 ita Tax Be Increased from 10 to 30 Gents Annually.

With fast thinning ranks the mem- bers of the Grand Army of the Re- publican of the Department of Con- necticut met here today, for their 45th annual encampment and will continue in session tomorrow when officers will be elected. In his annual report Department Commander R. J. Cut bill, of South Norwalk, reported that the affairs of the department were in good condition and that a general feeling of good fellowship existed among its members, continuing he said:
 Ut is unfortunately true that we are growing less in numbers, but 1t must be recollected that ours is self limited organization that it has no reserves on which to draw and that as more than fifty years have elapsed since the soldiers of the Re- public first went mar ching in all the strength and pride of their young manhood to the defense of the Re- public that time must inevitably make inroads in our ranks, and that before many years have elapsed the Grand Army of the Republic will have pass ed away and our organization be- come only memory to the citizens of the land" In speaking of the finances of the department Conman- der Cutbill said that the expenses could not be materially reduced with out manifest injury to the best inter- ests and that unless the per capita tax was increased the reserve fund would soon be exhausted and "In view of the financial conditions recommend that the per capita tax be increased at least p cents per capita per comrade in good standing per year, the burden will not be great and our bank fund will be more slow ly depleted" Along the same line Mr. Cutbill also recommended that the offices of Assistant Adjutant General and Asst. Quartermaster General be joined. He spoke of the good work done by the organizations connected with the Grand Army and said that he hoped the time would come when the Sons of Veterans could be ad- mitted to the meetings of the Posts in part at least. In speaking of those who had passed away during the past year he said that two past department commanders had been among the number Gustavus D. Bates of Put nam. and Thomas l.. Bartholomew of Bridgeport.
 In closing he said: Comrades these deaths bring forcibly to our minds the fact that in the course of nature we too must soon pass this scene of our tolls and our triumphs, our vic- tories and our defeats, let us then while we remain here, get closer to- gether and touch elbows oftener in the march of life: let us cheer each other up, and give expression of our appreciation of the services and la DOTS of each other"

ASTOR, JIM HAWKINS AND AN ARMENIAN PEASANT 60
 DOWN TO COMMON GRAVE

New York, April 19-Nadji Narsani, tanic, and John Jacob Astor, multi millionaire, perished as heroically as Nadji
 Maria Narsani, his widow, is about 10 become a mother, an heir is expect ed to the dead millionaire.
 No greater in death is John Jacob Astor than Nadji Narsani, who kiss ed his wife, placed her in the small boat and said:
 Maria, perhaps we may never meet again, but Maria, some day you tell our child how I died.''
 And John Jacob Astor: "I'll meet you in New York, dear" But his heart told him differently as the band was playing Nearer My God to Thee.''
 Perhaps the master of millions and the peasant, Nadji, stood together at the rail as the sea carried off their hopes and loves but that chapter in the Titanic tragedy will never be written-the story of just what hap pened when the small boats floated off and left millionaire and peasant. savant and deckhand, to wait for death.
 When Maria Narsani stepped off the steerage gangway of the Carpathia, she became at once the . ward of charity.
 The jewels-a kings ransom-of Madeline Force Astor, went down with the ship, but Maria Narsani lost ev- erything she had in the world, the linens she had made against the day of her marriage, the feather bedding they were her marriage dot-and Nadji had saved up $1O0 in addition to the steamship tickets and this too was lost.

 And we were going to have a farm ourselves, some day. said his mother "Jim was a strapping boy, was Jim. He could have been saved but he gave his place to a lady,
 Not for a day will the operations of the Grand Trunk line pause be- cause of the death of Hays but Jim ward of charity.
 Father McGrath, the seaman 8 chaplain stood at the dock and saw the mother of Jim Hawkins and the widow of Nadji Narsani and the widow of John Jacob Astor disembark from the Carpathia.
 The priest exclaimed:
 ''The great man dies and after all his death causes but a ripple Those he leaves behind need not suffer. poor man dies and the consequence of his death reach out like the circles the water''
 There are four or five babies among the steerage saved. How they came to be rescued is one of the mysteries of the dark night of tragedy that will never be fathomed.
 Then there IS little Master Al1Son as he is registered in the official list of survivors, child of the first cabin, who lost his father and mother.
 But nobody knows the parentage of the four steerage babies, they were sent to an orphan asylum.
 At last all of the steerage passen- gers were off the boat. A man with a megaphone announced this fact. My Elsa, My Elsa, haven't you seen her?'' cried John Korwak who had been on the pier for hours. He had just saved enough to send passage money for Elsa and was going to make a home for her here.

 Asst Quartermaster General Chas. w. Emerson of Hartford in his report recommended that the per capita tax be increased from 10 cents to 30 cents. The expenditures of the year of his department were $1,074.S2 and the ball. ance on hand $4,523.40.
