Knew Sitting Bull.

At about this time / made the &C
quaintance of Sitting Bull and other
well known Indian characters. I re-
member how small and rather fright
ened felt as stood among the sill
ent, blanketed and feathered Indians,
who bowed before me with great diff
| ference. I heard Sitting Bull muir
muir: Her father-heap big chief"
They probably inferred from my
fathers title of secretary of war that
he was a great warrior, and they
honored me accordingly.
One afternoon, when in my ff-
teenth year, my mother deserted me
to entertain a caller for a few mo-
entering the reception room, I was
clad in the conventional garments of
man. her hair short, her small,
sharp face peering from beneath the
brim of derby, small satchel Ia

course l soon became accustomed
to her familiar figure in Washington.
In 1871 when my father entered
President Hayes cabinet, my sister

seminary eighteen miles from Wash
ington. I shall never forget my ex-
element on the day that I was re-
called from school with the informa-
ton that Mrs. Hayes wished me to
assist her. with several other young
girls, in receiving at an approaching
reception. 1t was a sudden transition
from the quiet school life to the bril-
liant social scenes Of Washington at
that time. My first reception at the
White house! l recall its details
vividly-the long waiting line, the
brilliant costumes Of the ladies, the
impressive figures Of the statesmen,
and particularly the huge bunch of
viOlets sent me by a young army OFF,
Ger, which l held upon my arm as
approached the first lady OF the land
Mrs Hayes has been called the most
beautiful woman Of the White house
Her dark eyes, her wonderful hair,
simply arranged, and her animated
features were accomplished by a gra-
ciOus charm OF manner and an unus-
ual personality. Her cordial well
come her merry comments upon the
significance of my flowers as she in
trOduced me to the red room and the
other young girls who were assisting,
put me at ease at once and won my
instant love and admiration During
that happy evening | met many of the
great ones Of the day, including, re-

TUNNELINe UNDER VAULTS
 IN CHESTNUT STREET
Have Been There Since Built By Cole 6 Walker About Civil War Time.

In digging the trench in Chestnut street for shifting the Franklin street brook and sewer from the Hopkins & Allen property into the street it has has not been found necessary to tear up the old brick vault which was dis closed under the street by the exca- Vation.
 As the sewer is down 10 to 15 feet from the surface it has been possible to dig away the floor of the vault without disturbing the six brick arches which formed the roof and these will still be in position after the sewer has been constructed.
 According to Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher who has been looking into the history of the brick vault it was constructed by Cole and Walker (Noah Cole and Horace Walker) who were running the Union Machine company about the time of the Civil war and this underground chamber was used for the storage of ammunition as fire arms were manufactured. His father worked for the concern in their build ing which was known as the Armory.
 The vault made an underground chamber about 75 feet long and ex- tending half way out into the street or about 20 feet from the easterly line The spring of each arch was support ed by a brick wall with doorways cut in it so that the entire underground space was practically one large room. In later years the place has been used for storage of oils and supplies of that nature,

LOAN EXHIBIT OF
 PHILADELPHIA TAPESTRIES
Under Auspices of Norwich Art School
 at Converse Art Gallery.

The Norwich Art school has been having an exhibit of jewelry and Christmas cards on view in the Peck library, which contains many cards, chains, pendants and pins of various kinds in gold and silver and set with semi precious stones that show the good work of this nature which is done by the art students.
 Another interesting exhibit just put up in the Ccaverse Art gallery art room is a collection of tapestry sam pies loaned by the Orinoco mills of Philadelphia.
 This is the largest concern making tapestries in this country. The work ing designs from which some of these were woven are also shown and are models of skilled workmanship in the method of obtaining exactly the right color tone and in the application of the color as we'll as in the combina- ton of colors and beauty of the de- sign. Some of the tapestries are woven in all wool and others are in silk and wool. Some have the regular weave, while others have the heavy cord which give them a broken sur- face.
 The design pupils are finding them useful in many ways in their art studies and the public has an oppor- tunity to learn more of this art indus try of our own land by inspection o1 these designs and finished products.

 CONVENTION IN BOSTON.
President Case and General Secretary
 Hill Heard Inspiring Address.

James L. Case, president of the lo- cal Y. M. c. A. and General Secre- tary Edwin Hill attended the annual convention of the Young Mems Chris and Rhode Island held Wednesday in Ford hall, Boston MT. Case and Secretary Hill left for Boston on the 9.10 o'clock train Wednesday morn ing and the convention opened at 2.30 o'clock. The principal speaker was John R. Mott. recently elected gener- al secretary of the Y. M. c. A. inter- national committee, New York. Mir. Mott's subject was the great oppor- tunity of the Y. M. c. A. in countries at war. He spoke for over an hour and held the close attention of hun- dreds of the leading business men of the two states, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and citizens of sur rounding states. As he talked he pictured the great need of the Y. M. c. A. work in nations at war. There is great need for the kind of work the Y. M. c. A. is able to do in the great battle camps, in the hospitals, among the prisoners of war and in the trench es. He related how the obstacles were overcome, one by one. until the Y. M. c. 4. is doing wonderful work in the places mentioned.
 The most recent development is a call from the head officials in Russia for the establishment of Y. M. c. A. work among their men. A few weeks since two of the Royaltys private cars were rendered a Y. M. c. A. secre- tary and guards were furnished on a tour of investigation as to the best locations for association work. In closing MT Mott said to the large audience: Gentlemen, you begin to see that the word Opportunity is far too empty a word to use in relation to the great things that call to us as members of the Y. M. c. A., an oppor- tunity that will never come again and by the grace of God we will grasp it and succeed"
 A banquet at which 500 men sat down, brought the convention to a close.

GRoTON BRAKEMAN IN
 STAFFORD SPRINGS HOSPITAL
With Ribs and Several Bones in Foot
 Broken.

Patrick J. Foley of Groton, employed as freight brakeman by the Central Vermont, is patient at the hospital in Stafford Springs as a result of in juries he sustained Thursday morning when he was thrown from his train, sustaining numerous fractures and lac erations about the face and head. His condition is reported as serious.
 Foley was employed on local freight bound from northern points to New London. At Stafford Springs, where switching was to be done, the train came to a sudden stop, hurling Foley from the CAT, on top of which he was standing. The trainmen went to Foley's assistance but because of the nature of his injuries, which comprise several bones in the feet and ankles broken besides three ribs frac- tured, and extensive and deep cuts on the head, he was transferred to the hospital.
