Resolutions

The members of the Arcanum Club wish to publicly record the loss they have sustained in the death of Clayton l. Seward.
 No member of the club was so gen erally liked or had so many real friends. Cheerful, sympathetic, gen erous 10 fault, manly and trustwor thy, he played the game of life with \ brave heart and met its ending with. out complaint.
 It is pleasant to remember that the greater part of his leisure time WAS spent in the cluhrooms-and that the clubs privileges and the companion ship of it's members were source oi real enjoyment to him.
 To the members of his family the club extends it's sincere sympathy.

MRS. PATRICK FITZGERALD.

Mrs. Mary Horan Fitzgerald, wife of the late Patrick Fitzgerald, died at her home in the eastern part of this village Sunday morning about 5 o'clock. She had been in poor health for several years; for the last few months requir- ing the constant care of her daughter, Miss Elizabeth, who has lived with her during her declining years and has given her the care that no one but a loving daughter could have given.
 Mrs. Fitzgerald's death removes an. other of those older residents of Irish birth, who came to Canaan in the eos. Mary Horan was married to Patrick Fitzgerald sixty years ago, their first homo being in East Canaan, where MT. Fitzgerald was a teamster for Barnum Richardson Co.,, Tn the days when all their ore was hauled by teams from salisbury and the pig iron drawn to Lime Rock. Later they owned and occupied the place where l.. B. Tinker now lives.
 They moved to the farm on which the present home was built, just before the construction of what is now the Central New England Railway. Here they boarded the men engaged in the work. MT. Fitzgerald successfully conducted the farm until his death in 1900.
 To MT. and Mrs. Fitzgerald there were born five children, four of whom are living; the oldest son James dying in 1909. Miss Elizabeth lives at the old home; Edward lives in Amenia, N. Y.; John is engaged in business in Valley, Nebraska, and Ms. Mary O'Brien lives in Hartford.

NO MAN Is ASKED TO ENLIST

Many men who have seen the blanks being used by those who are taking the the Connecticut military census 1 throughout the state have appeared surprised that there is no question on the census blank which asks tho in- dividual if he would enlist in case the United States should ever call for troops. An inspection of the blank shows that there is absolutely nothing asked in reference to possible enlist ment. Information is required con cerning mans name, address, weight, height, age, trade, citizenship. special abilities, and similas details, together with whether he has ever had military or naval experience. No question con- corning willingness to enlist appears on the blank. sss-E
 In explaining this, Charles A. Good win of Hartford, who is a member of the committee of assistants to Cover. nor Holcomb for the military census had made the following statement:
 Enlistments in the army or navy is only small part of the service requir- ed of citizens under modern condition The governor does not now desire to. know who will or will not enlist. He simply desires to know certain facts re-. garding each man. which would show his qualifications for the varied actlvf. ties of modern warfare, of which ser. vice in the army or navy is only oDe branch
 "If war comes there will be caM for volunteers and enlistments will be made. This census is not an enlist ment."

HOTEL TO OPEN
The Garfield Hotel Will Reopen Before
 April |.

Edward A. Brewer informs The News that he has leased the hotel recently purchased of the Garfield estate, to Frank A. Baker, for term of years. MT. Baker was proprietor of the hotel until November 1915, when he went to Livermore Falls, Me, to conduct the Riverside Hotel. He now returns to the Garfield, where he spent eight years, making it one of the most popular stopping places for tourists in western Connecticut.
 MT. and Mrs. Baker made many friends during their stay and they will be cordially welcomed back to Canaan.
 MT. Brewer has been making repairs in the house since becoming owner paint and paper have been applied to the rooms 50 that the house has been put in first class shape. He will add a stock of bedding, table linen, silver ware and kitchen utensils so that the new manager will start with an en. tirely new equipment of supplies.
 It has been a matter of regret that the hotel has been closed for even SC short time as the last few months, not only travellers but Canaan people as we'll, are glad that public house is to open for the convenience of those wishing regular or transient accom- modations.
 MT. and Mrs. Baker are expected to come to Canaan by the middle oi March to put the place in shape fol opening by the first of the following month.
