SIX NEW BRITAIN
 RESIDENTS AMONG
 ARCHER HOME DEAD
(COntinued From First Page.)

Mrs. Gilligan had asked for a loan of $500 from Andrews and requested that he say nothing about it to any one. MT. Andrews bank book showed that he had withdrawn $500 at the time of the request, according to the letter was made.
 When Mrs. Pierce asked Mrs. Gill igan about the money, the latter, it is said, denied that she had ever re- ceived any money from Andrews ex- cept the $1,0O0 which he had paid for life care when he entered the home. Mrs. Pierce was insistent in her in Quiries, and finally, it is said, Mrs. Gilligan admitted having received the $500 but said that it was a gift to the home, in the welfare of which, according to Mrs. Gilligan, Andrews was much interested
 Later Mrs, Gilligan is said to have returned the money Subsequently the matter came to the attention of the authorities.
 Mrs. Gilligan is forty-One years old, and before going to Windsor in 1907 conducted a home for the aged at NcWingtOn.
 Calmly Faces Accusers.
 She was arrested after she had been closely questioned for about an hour by Supt. Thomas F. Egan and Capt. Robert T. Hurley of the state police. When informed that she was charged with Andrews murder, she took the information calmly, and made ready to accompany the officers to the town hall, where the first formal proceed ings were held.
 The state police have declined to make public the results of search which they conducted at the home, but it is understood that they carried away with them a number of bottles bearing various labels, and a number of papers, including contracts with present and past occupants of the home.
 The authorities have learned, it is said, that the accused woman bought in large quantiteis certain strong poison, of the same nature as that or which traces have been found in the bodies examined, and that one pur- chase of two ounces was made few days before Andrews death.

windows were made by saving out
holes after the logs were laid. The
doors were of puncheons or rough
slabs fastened together with wooden
pins Nails were expensive and little
used. The door latch was a wooden
catch or kind of trigger which, when
the door was closed, fell into little
groove and could be opened from the

THOUGHTS ON
MEMORIAL DAY

~ ECORATION day, day Of flags,
and flowers. and green, grass
covered graves. Decoration
day, the time of sobs and
tears, Of prayers, and memories, and
smiles. Decoration day!
It comes only once year, this brave
holiday, on the boundary line between
May and June, spring and summer
time. Schools give holiday and
banks close. Business is shut up, and
the tired workingman hangs flag
out over his porch, and rests. Old
soldiers, tottering on canes, soldiers
bent and white-headed, waiting for
the last "taps" to be sounded, get out
their suits of blue and gray, covered
with furnished gold lace and brass
buttons, and hobble to the cemetery
to lay q wreath on some comrades
last resting place.
It is a beautiful thing to think of a
nation celebrating a day-setting it
apart from all others-for the pur-
pose of honoring the nations heroes.
l was sitting in trolley car when
lady entered-a woman no longer
very young, with pale, sorrowful
face. She wore expensive black, and
her two carefully gloved hands held
huge dewy mass of roses. Like an
oasis in a desert they filled the dusty
city air with sweetness and color. In
q little while small newsboy dragged
himself up the step and presented a
grimy transfer to the conductor.
Il found it," he confided loudly to a
man seated near the door. Then he
tramped down the aisle, and climbed
up on the seat next to the lady.
Them fowrs are swell" he told her
in soft, wondering tone of voice Il
never saw any like 'em before" Rev
erently he touched the nearest bios
som with moist, grimy fingers.
The lady moved down on the seat,
putting several feet of space between
herself and the small intruder.
Don't touch then!" she ordered
GROSSLY.
Several blocks farther On she got
out, her arms full Of her fragrant bur-
den. With hating footsteps and tear
filled eyes, she turned in at great

UNITY OF NATION PROVED
Great Southerner Long Ago Pointed
Out How Complete Has Been
Its Restoration.

From an address delivered by Henry
Watterson at the National cemetery,
Nashville. Tenn. Decoration day. 1877.
We are assembled, my countrymen.
to commemorate the patriotism and
valor of the brave men who died to
save the Union. The season brings its
tribute to the scene; pays it's homage
to the dead; inspires the living. There
are images of tranquility all about
us; in the calm sunshine upon the
ridges; in the tender shadows that
creep along the streams; in the way-
ing grass and grain that mark Gods
love and bounty; in the flowers that
bloom over the many graves. There
is peace everywhere in this land to-
Gay.
Peace on the open seas,
In all our sheltered bays and ample
Peace where'er our starry banner CLEANS.
And peace in every breeze.
The war is over It is for US to
bury it's passions with it's dead; to
bury them beneath monument raised
by the American people to American
manhood and the American system,
in order that "the nation shall, under
God, have new birth of freedom and
that government of the people, by the
people, and for the people shall not
perish from the EARTH"
The Union is, indeed, restored when
the hands that pulled down that flag
come willingly and lovingly to put 1t
up again. I come with a full heart
and steady hand to salute the flag
that floats above me-my flag and
your flag-the flag of the free hearts
hope and home--the star spangled
banner Of our fathers-the flag that,
uplifted triumphantly over few brave
men, has never been obscured, des-
tined by the God Of the universe to
watt on it's ample folds the eternal
song of freedom to all mankind, en-
blem of the power on earth which is
destined to exceed that on which it
was said that the sun never went
down.

The Old Color-Bearer

Through the city's crowded highways.
Marches on the color-bearer:
white his hair falls to his shoulders.
White as Colorado's mountains.
Proud he bears aloft the standard.
Proud he bore it in the Sixties;
Kenesaw and Lookout Mountain,
High above the clouds it floated.
Heed, ye young men, heed the lesson,
Keep untarnished all its glory;
Glory kindling first at Concord,
Spreading West to far Malolos.
Heed We! Heed We well the lesson!
Grow not up unframed for battle;
Sell We not your precious birthright
For sordid mess Of pottage.
Chant our epic, fellow-patriots.
Firmly weld the new-come aliens;
Tell Of Prescott, Hale and Reynolds,
Custer, Benchley and young Cheney.
Thus will all the wars and rumors
Fade away as fades the twilight,
True to all our fathers died for,
Firm we'll march adown the ages.

be in social life when the heart is not

strength Of the domestic affections is

'How long is it since you have seen

Parades were personal affairs in

an acquaintance. You knew even the

Judge Smith and the school superin-

News, came next, and so on down the

loudest when the crippled, age-worn
veterans rode by, in the village band

who were still able-bodied. A goodly
