HALL CLOCK TO STATE
 TREASURER LIPPiTT.
Presented to Him by Clerical Force in Office and Placed Secretly in Ills Home.

On Christmas morning State Treas urer Costello Lipp1tt was surprised to find in the hall of his home in Nor wich a handsome eight-day clock. It was the gift of Deputy Treasurer B. Frank Marsh and the clerical force of the treasurers office, and it conveyed to MT. Lippitt their Christmas greet ings. It is needless to say that the cordial feelings of friendship which the gift expressed were reciprocated by MT. Lippitt,
 There is a pretty little story con nected with this gift Mir Lippitt will retire from the office of treasurer next month. During the two years he has been at the head of the treasury de- partment of the state the official re- iations between him and members of the office force have been very friend ly.' Ho has appreciated the faithful work which has been done for the state during his administration by his subordinates, and they in turn have recognized that in MT. Lippitt they have had a personal friend as well as an official chief.
 Plan Worked Perfectly.
 Deputy Treasurer Marsh, whose home is in Winsted was authorized bv the other members of the office force to procure from a factory in Winsted a hall clock of the makers best pattern
 The clock was shipped from Win sted to Norwich in care of the Adams Express company, with instructions 1T regard to its delivery at the home oi MT. Lippitt, that its presence in his house would be kept a secret from hin until Christmas morning. The plar worked without the slightest hitcf and the first intimation that he had o1 the handsome manner in which he hat been remembered by his friends in tht treasury department was when he saw the clock on coming down stairs or Christmas morning. It is needless tC say that Treasurer Lippitt's Christina: was made all the happier for the gift A Group Picture.
 l It is but short time since that MT Lippitt remarked to his office staff tha he would like to have a group photo graph of them to keep as a remem brance of their official relations wheI he has retired from the office. The! complied with his request by givinl l him the group picture.

TO LESSEN BURDEN
 OF ALIEN INSANE.
Convention to Propose New LesisIa- ton to Be HeId-3o Have Been De- ported from Norwich Hospital.

From the fact that the problem of alien insane is one that to some extent is before the authorities of the Nor Wich state hospital, there is some To- cal interest in the convention that has been called in New York to consider the matter, particularly as 1t pertains to the securing of relief from the growing burden of expense which the increasing number of the insane from other countries places on the state. While the Connecticut delegates have not yet been appointed, as the idea of holding this conference is but very late one, and the time and place have not been definitely appointed, 1t is probable that Edward B. Segur of the state comptroller's office will be the man selected, although the superin- tendents of the two state hospitals may possibly be chosen.
 In the last two years at the Norwich state hospital out of the five hundred odd patients who have been admitted above the number, nearly as large with which the institution opened, there have been 35 people deported as alien insane, and several cases are now un- der investigation. It Is the rapidly growing numbers of their foreign men tai detectives that has led to the call for legislative action to alleviate pres ent conditions.
 l If 1t be verified that the alien was | insane before coming to this country | it then becomes possible, if he has be- i come in whole or in part in the first | three years of his residence in this | country, a public charge, to send him l back to his mother country. But it is
 a complex business gathering the nec- essary data and means of verification | and the expense Is constantly increas- | ing. After verihcation has been made 1 the federal government bears the ex- pense of deportation. the steamship
 companies under certain conditions
 granting return passage, but a large
 part of the expense falls on the indi- | vidual states. It is to lessen this ex-
 penditure of money in looking out fol the insane of other countries that i'm. 1 ,,rore6 Ieeislatinn is needed

WILLIAM H. CARDWELL
 TO RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
James M. Young Buys Out His Gro- cery Business and Also Market of Louis A. Frazier.

James M. Young completed on Thursday morning the terms of the purchase from William H. Cardwell and Louis A. Frazier of their grocery and grain, and meat businesses re- spectively, which after Jan. he will carry on under his management. MT. Frazier has been conducting his bus mess at No. 4 Market street and MT. Cardwell at No. Market street and the headquarters of the consolidated stores will be at the latter address. MT. Young has been engaged for 26 years in the grocery and meat busi- neSseS, most of the time in Norwich, although his last venture was in Will limantic. He has been without a store for six months. He has already be- gun the necessary alterations for the running together of the two businesses.
 MT. Cardwell, who thus retires, is the veteran grocery man of Norwich and for three years over half a cen tury he has served the people of Nor Wich with unfailing honesty and cour- tesy. He was born in Montville and came to Norwich when he was 19 years old and embarked in the gro- cery business as a clerk for the late D. P. Coon. In 1859, Mir. Cardwell formed a partnership with the late | Benjamin F. Tracy, who went to the front when the Civil war broke out and after the war did not take up the business again.
 MT. Cardwell continued in the bus mess after a short interval, two years | later forming a partnership with Jo- sepn J. Wait and occupying a store in the old Bulletin building on Water street. Later they moved to the Rock well building. MT. Wait died 22 years ago and since then Mir Cardwell has successfully conducted the business ] alone. MT. Cardwell's business career ! contains scores of interesting exper- i fences and his "reminiscences shed a
 flood of light on the old days in Nor i wich after the war. His retirement
 is well deserved after life usefully ] spent in the field of business life.

SAoNTANEOUS COMBUSTION
 CAUSED MUCH SMOKE
Fire Department Had Morning Call
 from Box 25.

A bell alarm from Box 25 called out the fire apparatus on Thursday morn ing at S15 o'clock but when the fire men reached the vicinity of that sig nal, which is at the corner of Franklin street and Chestnut avenue, there was no blaze to be found, A considerable volume of smoke was the only evi- dence of a fire to be seen. This was pouring out of the barn owned by George E. Fellows and occupied by Stoddard Gilbert and company. There was big pile of manure on the ce- ment floor in the basement and this was apparently dry. The smoke that was coming from it was therefore laid to spontaneous combustion. A quan- tity of chemical was poured into the pile and line of hydrant hose WIS laid before the firemen returned to the station. The recall was sounded shortly after the alarm
