furrow te answer his eeuntry's call te arms.
 Accordingly, he brought the batter ed implement te Danielsen. It was exhibited here and in the windows of hardware stores throughout the coun- ty as the Putnam blow and attract ed q great deal of attention. At about the time of the dedication of the me- morial to General Putnam at Brooklyn it was displayed upon the lawn at the home then occupied by F, A. Jacobs on Main street and ticketed in a manner to create the impression that it was junk drew hundreds to inspect and comment upon 1t. Among those who came and saw and fell for the hoax was a Hartford collector of relics and antiques and he could not be satisfied until he had paid some of his good money for the old blow and car- ried 1t off to Hartford. It is possible, of course, that the Phalanx has the original blow, but the fake one was taken to the Capitol City and may now be having resolutions written about it.
 Ex-Senator Jacobs, brother of w. Q. Jacobs, now deceased. recalled on Tuesday the story of the Foster Put nam" blow.
 Rev. John Rowland Writes on Mexi-
 can Probism.
 Rev John Rowland, principal of the International college at Guadalajara, Mexico, in which country he has been @ resident for 30 years, writes an in teresting letter to the Congregational ist relative to the United States inter vening in the border republics trou- fir lxy principal of Killingly High school His wife is Sarah (Chollar) Rowland, daughter of Deacon w. H. Chollar, of Broad street
 In the letter referred to he writes:
 Intervention would probably call for l an immense expenditure of blood and treasure and would make Mexico un- inhaDitable fer Americans for a long period of years. The Mexicans are a proud people. They value peace, but l they value national liberty and inde- pendenoe far more. Crossing the bor- der with an armed force would be a declaration Of war, and nearly every Mexican would feel called upon to re- sist, hinder and destroy, if not kill; l and no equalization would be recog- | nized by those not participating di- 1 rectly in it. The immense territory would probably have to be conquered. piece by piece, and heavily policed, and even then there would be, almost 1 certainly, an interminable guerrilla l warfare"

 determined as at the first moment to remain out until they get the conces- sions they are asking for.
