No Lack Of Enthusiasm.

These new rulings do not mean
there will be any lack Of enthusiasm,
according to President Tener. On the
other hand, there is expected to be
just as much as ever With a little
more clean lines, coaching will be
more encouraged than ever, but play
ers in the National league will have
to confine their conversational abili-
ties to players wearing uniforms like
their own.
Speed in playing the games and the
elimination of dissatisfaction for the
fans is expected by the National
league head to prove the chief benefit
from the new order.

BOYS IN CAMP
AT FORT TERRY
InstalIment of 500 Arrived at Plum
Island Yesterday.

More than 500 boys from various
sections Of New England and New
York arrived at Fort Terry Thursday
afternoon for the enCampment to be
conducted there under the auspices of
the National Young Mems Christian
Of regular army officers. Camp was
established Thursday and will con-
tinue until Aug 10. Membership is
limited to boys between the ages of
16 and IS and there will be two relays
of them, so that during the whole en-
campment about 1900 will have the
opportunity to get a taste of the life
Of a soldier in the open.
The boys began to arrive in New
London Thursday morning and were
later conveyed by transports to the
Plum Island Notifications. Their trim
khaki uniforms attracted much atten-
ton. The balance of the day was
spent in putting up tents and other
wise preparing for the encampment,
which will be in miniature a duplicate
Of Plattsburg. instruction in drill and
military affairs generally will be given
by federal officers. The boys will not
be restricted entirely to work, how
ever and there will be plenty of
healthful recreation to make the time
pass pleasantly. Eight young soldiers
will be CHARTERED in each tent.
The camp was made a reality
through the untiring efforts and con-
tributions of Samuel rockingham,
Fben Stevens, prominent New York
ILbon Stevens, prominent New York
business men, who are deeply inter-
ested in the question Of preparedness.
These men obtained official recon-
mendation from the war department
and from Major General Wood to open
the camp at Fort Terry which is con-
sideTed one of the ideal spots on the
Atlantic ocean or in the interior for
such a purpose. Not only have these
men secured the cooperation of the
quartermaster department, but also
have a boat of their own at hand. 1t
is the Maidstone of East Hampton,
and is cruising yacht. which will be
used as a transport
In order to be admitted to the camp
each boy must have proper creden-
tails and average between the ages of
over Is to IS years,
Captain Stopford of Fort Wright
and Captain WeartenbecIzer at Fort
Terry have been assigned to the camp
and these officers will see that the
boys will receive the same military
training such as the adults do at
Plattsburg.
The report from the reservation
states that the camp demonstrates the
idea of preparedness in a way in
which the young can easily Compre-
bend and that it gives them the real
preparedness spirit.

STRIKING LABoRERs HAVE
RETURNED TO WORK.
Men Employed on New London Build
ing Find They Are Getting Union
Scale.

The first strike trouble the George A.
Fuller Construction company, which is
doing the work on the MohiCan hotel
New London, has had since operations
began occurred Wednesday when 20
Italian -Iaborers, all union men, quit
work after their demands for a wage
scale of $3.50 a day had been refused.
The men all returned to work Thurs
day at the old scale.
The Iaborers, although union men,
were not aware that the union rate Of
pay was 1925 day, the pay that they
have been receiving since the general
labor strike in New London a couple
of months ago. At that time the de-
mand was granted the MohiCan labor
ers without discussion.
When the demand came for the ad-
ditionaI rs cents the company fatty
refused and made arrangements for the
bringing in Of New York help if neces-
sary. Representatives of the union,
however, explained to the striking
Italians that they were not entitled to
any raise of pay, and they returned to
work.

ONE OF PRINCIPAL
SCENES IN NORWICH,
In New Serial by George Weston, Who
is Now a Resident of Town of Plain
field.

is Now a Resident of Town of Plain
field.
The Ladies' Home Journals August
number contains a new serial by
George Weston. The story bears the
unusual title Oh, Mary, Be Careful!
and the editor of the Home Journal
describes it as the liveiest and cIev-
crest serial ever placed before their
readers.
Mr.. Weston is the author of a
growing number of short stories of
eastern Connecticut life which have
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post, Century, Golfers and other mag
azines. His story of Sissy Perkins,
The Man Who Needed Nerve, has
probably been read by more people
around Norwich than ever read a
short story before. In the wide and
sympathetic publicity given 10y Mr..
WestOn's stories it goes without saying
that he is performing a service for
this part of the country the value of
which it would be difficult to over
estimate.
In the new serial one of the prin-
cipaI scenes is laid in Norwich. Other
scenes are placed in Jewett City Dan
ielson, WiIlimantc and Plainfeld. The
story concerns itself with the adven-
lures of a local girl who went on a
search for a good young man-and
would take no rest until she found
him. Whether or not she was able to
discover him in Norwich is one of the
absorbing points of the tale.
For some years now Mr.. Weston
has made his home in Plainfield and is
a member of Columbian commandery,
No. 4, K. T., Of this city. He is TO be
congratulated on having selected for
his home a section of New England
so rich in historical and literary asso'
Citations, and Windham county is for
tunate in having acquired such a tai
ented author to add to her list of dis
| tingEished citizens.
