commemorating St. Two, Patron of
 Judges.

Today, May 1s. the members of the Apostleship of Prayer in the Cath ollie churches are commemorating the good deeds of St. Two. noted for his sympathy for the poor. The triple glory of a holy and jealous priest, a just judge and an untiring advocate of the rights of the poor, widows and orphans. encircles the brow of this Breton noble, born near Treguier, Oc- tober IT, 1253 He had studied canon and civil law at Paris and Orleans, and on his return home was appointed a judge of the ecclesiastical court, which in the days of faith heard and settled many cases now brought before civil tribunals. In his pleadings as an ad- vocate he took no payment from the poor. Almost innumerable are the in- cidents of his charity that have come down to us. One morning he found a poor, half-naked man lying on his doorstep. Two carried him to his own bed, and that he might know by ex- perience the sufferings of the poor passed the following night half dress ed on the same doorstep. He was an indefatigable preacher of the Word of God. St Two died May 19. 1903.

WHAT NORWICH BENEFACTORS DID
Chairman Gilman of Committee on Stattcs Prepares In- suctive Statistics Layout and Gifts for Parks in Norwich Norwich Town and Bean Hill Greens Were the Fnst-Date from 1729.

In preparation for the commemora- tion of Benefactors' day in Norwich, Sunday. June 7th. William C. Gilman, chairman of the sub committee on statistics. has gleaned from the records the following facts concerning parks in Norwich:
 ''The proprietors of the common land in the township of Norwich" in 1729 did wisely 'sagree, vote and grant by a large majority that the meeting house plain shall be and remain to be and lye common for publick use for the whole town forever without alter ation." Similar action was taken at the same time in regard to the plain at Bean Hill, and from that day to this no encroachments of any kind have been tolerated at either place.
 Chelsea Parade.
 Appreciating the value of such open spaces, three public-cpirtted cit fzens, Thomas Tanning, Joseph Perk- ins. and Josuah Lathrop, in 17S7 gave to all the inhabitants of the town the land now known as the Chelsea Pa rade, flor the use and purpose of public parade or open walk, to be un- encumbered with any kind Of build ing or nuisance whatever" To com- memorate this gift, many years later, Gen. Alfred Perkins Rockwell and Dr. John A. Rockwell ,grandsons of Jo- seph Perkins, placed 2 granite bou1d- CT near the southeast corner of the parade, with a bronze plate bearing an inscription in the following words:
 Chelsea Parade-given to the Town of Norwich-for use and pur- pose of a public parade or open walk by-Thomas Fanning-Joseph Perkins -Joshua Lathrop-April 5. 1F9S- Norwich Book of Deeds, No. 2S-Pages 367, 36s and 369."
 The Little Plain.
 Fourteen years later, in 1871, Heze- kiah Perkins and Jabez Huntington. following the example of the donors of the Chelsea Parade, gave to the used only ah a park, the smaller tract at the junction of Broadway and Union street, which had beer the property of Col Christopher Leffing- well and which is now known as the Little Plain.
 Franklin Street Park.
 In June 1859, at the suggestion of Levi Hart Goddard, a member of the court of common council. the city purchased for s70O, from Avery Smith and Horace Walker, the triangular piece of land at the intersection of Franklin street with the old Provi- dence road, and agreed with the grant ors to lay out the same as a public park to be held forever as such, and to fence it and plant trees, and to keep it ever after in proper repair. This has now become 0 valuable rest ing place for the weary, and play ground for young children At about the same time Henry Bill, one of the of Laurel Hill, also re- a shady green breathing place in that attractive part of the city.

Meeting House Roeks.

In 1906 Willis D. Perkins presented to the Norwich Rural association an acre of land on the top of the Meet ing House Rocks, thus securing that from danger of destruction Subse- quently the First Congregational church enabled by two members Of the Rural association, removed unsightly shops clustered at the foot Of the rocks, and an old building owned py Miss Carolyn A. Sterry was also re- moved by Ter generosity. The preci- pitious front of the rocks thus open ed to view from base to summit be- came one of the most interesting and conspicious landmarks in the town.
 Lowthorpe Meadows.
 In 1907 Emily Serena Gilman and Louisa Gilman Lane, .in consideration of their love and good will to the in habitants of Norwich, and in memory of their sister, Maria Perit Gilman. and of their Lathrop ancestry" con yeyed to trustees about twelve acres of land on Washington street, oppo- site the Colt elms. to be kept as to be unencumbered by dwelling houses, barns or any nuisance what ever. ..as a pleasant place of recrea- tion for the people of Norwich for ever," and to be known as the Low thorpe Meadows.
 The ValEe or all JHeSe pheasant places" for the purposes designated--this chain of little parks extending from Bean Hill to Laurel Hill, each unique in it's way and of increasing usefulness-cannot be es timated by their present worth, but it will inevitably be enhanced with each succeeding year.
 Mohesan Park.
 The park system of Norwich was crowned in June 1906. by the acquisi- ton of about two hundred acres of natural woodland in the center of the city, the free gift of the owners of the property. whose names are here re- corded as among the great benefactors of the city: Dr. John A Rockwell, the family of the Rev. Leonard w. Bacon, Mrs. Henry L. Reynolds, Gen. Edward Harland. J. Hunt Smith, Charles Bard, Misses Edith M and Fannie R. Bliss, Mrss Henry R. Bond At the same time the city made an appropriation of ST. 500 for the construction of two ap- breaches, and for the purchase of Spaulding's pond within the park The natural lay of the land, the varied sur face, the rocky cliffs, the well grown forest trees, and the broad lake have enabled the commissioners, by strict economy and good taste, to utilize the small annual appropriation hitherto made by the city to the greatest pos sible advantage for the needs and pleasures of all classes in the com munity.
 Fortunate, indeed, above all others, is the city of Norwich in the posses sion of a truly rural woodland park within it's limits. of such extent and so easily accessible from every side common pleasures, where all the peo- pie, and their heirs forever. may walk abroad and recreate themselves"

 Gentlemen: At a recent meeting of our directors, County Agent Lincoln advised us of your very commendable action in regard to the purchase of the school plot and the loan of $500 to the scholars for their garden work.

 Another point brought out by Miss Burnell was that no suffrage state is prohibition state except Kansas, which was a prohibition state before suffrage was granted there. Miss Bur- nell was loudly applauded at the con- clusion of her talk.
