 The exercises opened at o'clock with a selection by the Odd Fellows orchestra. Noble Grand John T. Young presided and gave the guests a warm welcome. A most pleasing number was the poem written for the occasion by P. G. R. W. Bercher of Groton, entitled Seventy Years Ago, which was read by P. G. Ashley T. Boon. The poem told of the organization of Uncas lodge March 10. 1S43. and gave something of it's history.

HAD HIS WISH.
Officers of Steamer Laurentio Report That Benjamin Lucas Longed to Visit Canal Zone After GA Years.

A New York paper of Monday said:
 The officers of the White Star steamer Laurentic which arrived yes terday after an excursion voyage to the Caribbean. reported the death on Feb. A, two days from La Gauyra. of Benjamin Lucas, S2. wealthy resi- dent of Norwich, Conn. The body is being sent from Port of Spain, Trini- dad, to Norwich for burial.
 Behind the bare announcement of the death of MT. Lucas lies a story of the fulfillnent of the aged mans over whelning ambition. MT Lucas was a forty miner, and 64 years ago traversed what is now the Isthmus of Panama OF muleback on a, prospecting trip. When he learned that the canal had almost been completed he resolved to see the strip of land he had ridden over so many years ago before tn } " water was allowed to enter the locks.
 With his two nieces, Misses Nancy F. and Mary c. Lucas. he took pas sage on the Laurentic Feb 8. MT. Lucas would not venture from the ship at any Of the ports of call on the way down because he said he wished to conserve his strength for the visit to the canal zone. After his tour of in spection he expressed himself as very happy that his last wish had been fulfilled.

BACKACHE IS
 A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disorders, Rheumatism and Serious Diseases
 Follow.

There are other sym ptoms, such as pains in the region of the kidneys, out feeling, weak bladder, painful, scaldy, or urinary troubles, which are just as dangerous, for the slightest kidney Arrangement if neglected may develop into the deadly Brightss Dis- ease Dropsy, or Diabetes.
 It is not only dangerous, but need less. for you to suffer, and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly@a and surely ends all such misery
 There Is no more effective remedy known for the cure of kidney,,~blad- der trouble, and rheuRaatism, than this new scientific preparation, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and lin- tngs. cleans out the cIogged-up pores, neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter, that lodge in the joints and muscles and cause those terrible rheumatic pains. and makes the kidneys filter the poison from the blood and drives it out of the system
 Three doses of Croxone day, for Q few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache GS overcome disagreeable urinary dis orders, and you can take it with the utmost confidence that nothing on earth will so quickly cure the worst case of kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism
 You will find Croxone different from all other remedies. There is nothing else like it. It is so prepared that 1t Is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. An original package costs but a trif1e at any first class drug store such as that of Lee 6 Osgood Co. All druggists purchase price if Croxone should fail 3n c single case.

matter. Factory inspection is far from perfect, but it is a movement in the right direction. The workman's com pensation act is showing the trend of the public mind and I believe that these things will be hammered at un- til public sentiment is thoroughly alive to the sheer justice of the movements.
 Another feature to which I wish to apply this subject of thin ice Is the appalling rate of railroad accidents on the railways of this country. The line seems to be growing thinner each year that separates travellers from accident. I have grave doubts as to any benefit to arise from governmental control, but sure it is that the railroad man agement of America must be made to rigid1y account for this awful loss of life, and thus from whatever stand point you view human life you are made to feel how thin is the crust that separates us from the abyss below and in many cases we are nearer than we think

 Grand Patriarch Prince and Grand Master Burrows were both called upon for remarks and each gave an inter- est1ng talk to the gathering.
 MT. Kinder accompanied MT. Ort- mann on the piano and Miss Louise Fuller was accompanist for the other singers. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served by the commit tee in charge and dancing was enjov- ed until midnight, music being fur nished by Fhe Odd ,Fellows' orchestra
 In the gathering were many old members of Uncas lodge, several of whom have belonged for nearly half 2 century. The oldest member. w. D. Manning, was unable to be present on account of poor health. MT. Manning is now in his 93d year and has been d of UncaS lodge fer G years joining three years after the organ ization of the lodge. The affair was a most enjoyable one in every respect and fitting celebration of the attain ment of such an age, 3.n age carrying with it unusual respect by considera tion of its excellen- work and pros perity throughout its existence.
 The celebration was in charge of Frank M. Green. Frank L. Futile and F. J. Ortmann.

THIN ICE IS THE DANGER LINE. Topic by Reb. c. H. Ricketts at Shop
 Talk at Richmond Plant.

Thin Ice was the topic upon Which Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, pastor ot the Greeneville Congregational church spoke at the shop talk given under Y M. c. A. auspices at the plant of the Richmond Radiator company at noon Monday. Rainbows by Holly and ter usalem by Parker were finely rem dered by Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard In part Rev. MT. Ricketts spoke to the large and attentive audience present as follows:
 There have been thus far this season 13 drowning accidents in Connecticut, according to newspaper reports. Thin ice exacts its terrible toll of death as is usual in mild winters. It is in- possible to express in human language just what these tragedies mean in the 13 homes. It means heartach3 and sorrow and bIighted visions of the mo- ble careers that 1t was fondly hoped these lads would lead.
 This subject of thin ice sets me thinking as to the scope of it's appli- cation. I wonder If we are not all going through life upon supports more insecure than caution and opportunity warrant, Many concern has broken through into the black waters of bank ruptcy because the capital foundation was too thin.

to say, IN lar, that the monetary notes of the
banker should be good in the very cases
where the monetary notes of the Government
were not good.
Having secured these tremendous advanta-
ges, the Unsuitable bankers next demanded
that the Government burn up it's own paper
money, so that the monetary notes of the
bankers would enjoy a monopoly.
They got that, also.
The Government called in upwards of ff-
teen thousand million dollars of it's own mon
etary paper, cast it into the flames, in Wash
ington City, and burnt it up.
Then the bankers, in their inordinate greed
demanded that the Government collect $780,,
eminent vaults, where it could never be used,
and where it would be unable to compete
with the gold of the bankers.
And your fool Government did that, also.
So at present, you have only 1916, 100000
of Government paper remaining unburnt.
The banks have twice that amount of their
monetary notes taking the place of those Gov
eminent notes that were destroyed.
You have more than $150,000,00O of idle
gold in the Treasury, useless to you, useless
to commerce-the same as if God had never
made it.
But it is where it cannot compete with
banker gold, and that is where the bankers
want it!
At the present time, these same Unsuitable
national bankers are demanding that their
charters-to-rob be renewed; that their notes
shall continue to displace Government notes;
that their assets shall be the basis of money
issues; that the Government shall redeem IN
gold THEIR DUE BILLS, qohich are based
on OTHER DUE BILLS' and that thereby
a Dollar Aristorcary shall be forever
enthroned, buttressed and bulwarked by the
most monstrous abuse of governmental power
that ever was proposed in the name of "cur-
rency reform"

monstrous stretch of Special Privilege, and

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 5.-The wife and son, aged

this afternoon at the Southern Railway crossing,

But the corporations put speed above
human life.
There is money in it for the corporations
to make fast time. Human life is cheap:
better to pay small damage verdict, occa-
sionally, than to lose money regularly obey
ing the law.
So the engineer must violate the law, or
lose his job.
Therefore, he rushes toward the crossings
with hardly perceptibe slowing down.
He is not able to stop at the crossing, as the
law commands.
If human beings are on the crossings, SO
