Coronation 6anquets.
Westminster hall, whose old gray

and state trials, used to echo with the
bargains driven at shops or stalls
which at one time fringed its walls like
a modern bazaar. These were kept by
booksellers, toy dealers, sempstresses
and milliners. The rents and profits
went by right to the warden of the
feet. An engraving of the busy scene
was made by Mosely and prints taken
therefrom by Gravelot before 1773

work In the future.

many compositions handed in to
the judges as they would have
wished.
The winners of the fountain

A NORWEGIAN WORD.
Origin Of "6udstikken," Which Means
"Spreadins the News"

Origin Of "5udstikken," Which Means
spreading the News"
This peculiar word is frequently
found in Scandinavian communities as
the name OF a newspaper, such as st.
Cloud Budstikken. 1t is Norwegian
word, l.200 years old at the least and
has a very peculiar origin.
In those days, when the coasts of
Norway were ravaged by pirates, the
Inhabitants had to resort TO all sorts
of devices to warn those at a distance
of the approach Of these piratical craft.
When one was seen on the horizon a
man went up to the top of mountain,
where he lighted beacon fire This
could be seen for a long distance and
was known to be a warning. When
it was seen in the distance another
fire was lighted on another hill until
all over the country fires blazed from
every hilltop and the people prepared
to defend themselves.
They also had a system of messen-
gers The man who first sighted the
sail would take an arrow and send it
to his neighbors. From town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
ways of tel<;raphing, but were so eff
fectual that in the course Of twenty
four hours all Norway knew of the ap-
proach of pirates.
This system of spreading the news
was called "budstikken," and when
there were no more pirates the news
papers became spreaders of the news
and so were appropriately styled bud
stikken. "-EXchange.

TO ORGANIZE BRANCH OF
 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE
Henry M. Camp Here to Do the Work Many Branches Already in the State,


 Henry N. Camp of New York, rep resenting the National Republican league, was in this city on Monday and was in conference with Town Committee Chairman Edwin l.. Bur nap regarding the organization of local branch. In the opinion of Chair man Burnap such an organization seems a good idea and had his approv- al, and efforts will be made to start such an organization at once.
 John Hays Hammond is president of the National Republican league. Mir. Camp is in charge of the organization in this state, and has been working ip Fairfield, New Haven and Hartford counties, making start Monday in New London county. The organiza- tion has also been pushed in the west ern part of the country and in Con- necticut about 40 local branches have been organized.
 The plan of work is approved by the chairman of the state central commit tee and is to offer cooperation and support to the various town candidates. The clubs work in harmony with the town committees and are subordinate to them. They provide a programme of work and become connected with the national body.
 Later, delegates will go to a Con- necticut convention of all the state clubs, which will form a state league, to adopt a constitution and bylaws and elect officers Six or ten dele gates would go. The organization is not transitory but is to be permanent.
 MT. Camp has been cordially re- ceived in all parts of the state and feels that a properly organized club can be of good support and the towns will welcome the assistance that can be given. He expects 75 or 80 clubs before the state league is formed.
 He has been impressed with tht interest taken by the republicans in this work and believes that the league will be greatly aided by the co-opera- ton in Connecticut.
 There are 15 working clubs in Fair field county and splendid response in membership has been received. He expects the same spirit in this district He will visit Putnam, Willimantic and New London.
 John Hays Hammond, president ot the National Republican league, is 2 life-leng friend of President Taft anC also 6 class mate at aYle. He Is s | great believer in organization work especially among the younger repub- | licans of the country. He gives per. sonal attention to the work of thC 1 league at headquarters.

 The new specifications of the New ork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for railroad ties were dis cussed. Under them the railroad will pay a slightly advanced price, but the specifications to which each class of ties must comply are strlcter than heretofore. One member stated that he had had 5000 ties inspected under the new specifications and one out of every five had been rejected. It seem ed to be the consensus of the dealers that inspectors of ties will, under the new specifications, resort to blue print technicallties.

FAR FROM THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Association With That Name Decides That Norwich Hardly Deserves the Te-Sheets Never More Untidy They Say Votes $25 For New Falls Avenue Park

That an all too prevalent apathy on the part of Norwich citizens had ai- lowed the city to lose the claim 1t ever might have had once to being called g city beautiful was the out spoken expression at a committee meeting of the City Beautiful associa- tion held on Monday evening at the home of President O. l.. Johnson. It was quite generally agreed that the streets of the city. especially the down town business section, had never pre- sented a more untidy or generally sloyenly condition, and one remark that was quoted received general en- dorsement. This was the reported answer given to a Norwich man who asked where to plant rose bushes. "In the gutters in Franklin square," was the reply.
 A letter signed by a Taxpayer also furnished material for comment, as It called particular attention to Greene vile as repository for great col lection of the loose paper. tin cans and rubbist, contrasting with conditions there two years ago. when the writer said the streets were like parlo. floor.
 In comment upon the condition of the streets, some of the members ex- pressed feeling that Norwich might yet see a movement like that describ- ed in the following extract from a New York paper of what the citizens of Pittsfield, Mass, did:
 Dressed in khaki clothing, half a dozen prominent men of Pittsfeld and members of the civic committee of the Board of Trade swept the walks of tn q principal streets this morning and branded the cleaned walks with the words Cleaned by the Board of Trade
 This action has followed several re. quests by the committee to merchants to sweep their walks in order that the

city might look clean and tidy on Sum- days. No attention was paid by some merchants, and the committee today took matters into its own hands. Three men volunteered to assist the com- mittee and worked from 6.SO to 3 o'clock brushing up the walks
 Among the street cleaners were President George H. Southard. Jr., of the, Board of Trade. a former banker of New York: George H. Cooper, coal dealer: Joseph Ward Lewis, Arthur Baker and Ralph M. Dennett, attor- neys; Loring G. Robbins, manufactur- CT, and Carl B. Lindhold. civil engi- neer
 Reports were received from James l.. Case, membership committee: Shepard B. Palmer, committee on streets: Mrs. William B. Birge, com mittee on schools; Mrs. Robert w. Perkins, committee on parks, and Hem The membership was shown to be 764 school members and 77S adult mem bers, a total of 1.542, with two schools not included. as their reports had not been received
 The membership by schools was shown as follows: Central district 222, West Chelsea 235. Falls 52. Greene vile S6, St. Patrick's Il, St. Mary's 5I, county home S1. Rock Nook home 20. A recent mission at St. Patrick s parish in which the families of the parish had made many contributions was given as a reason for the small showing there, while entire sympathy was felt with the work.
 An appropriation of s25 was voted for the work at the small park al Falls avenue near the Central Yer mont station.N
 Measures were discussed for the committees to consider and all the chairmen will call meetings soon tt forward work in their departments.
