EGAN-LOWE

If the old adage, Happy is the
bride the sun shines on" is to be
credited, surely the beautiful wea-
Their of last week Thursday, Septem-
Der 5, will certainly insure the fu-
ture happiness of Miss Rosemary M.
Lowe, the eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John H. Lowe of Lime
Rock, Conn. who at that time became
the bride of Mr.. Edward NJ. Egan,
son of Mrs. Maria Egan of Deep
River, Conn.
The ceremony was celebrated in
the presence of immediate relatives
only, at nine o'clock in the morning,
at st. Mary's church, Lakeville,
Conn. by the Rev. John Donohue,
with nuptial high mass. The bride
was charming in a tailored travel
ing suit of blue silvertone, with hat
to match, carrying a boquet of
orchids and roses, which was a gift
from her cousin who is a florist. Miss
Agnes Lowe acted as bridesmaid and
in her fascinating gown of silk
taffeta and georgette crepe with hat
to match, carrying boquet of pink
roses, she completed very pleasing
picture.
Gilbert Egan, as proxy for another
brother, Thomas Egan, who is Ensign
in the navy and could not be present,
acted as his brothers groomsman.
The wedding breakfast was served
at the brides home in Lime Rock,
and to elude certain overzealous we'll
wisherS with their rice and confetti,
the happy pair motored to West
Cornwall to connect with the after
noon New York express. But as is
the usual fate of such manouvers,
the entire party was able to follow
on with the usual demonstrations as
was evidenced by the station plat
form after the departure of the train.
; Besides the prestige of her home
town the bride, who for 2 years has
been bookkeeper for a large concern
in Bridgeport, has become very we'll
known in the circle where she met
her husband in that city. and where
on Tuesday of last week her many
young friends gave her an eXtrava-
CANT linen shower, also the large
number of handsome and beautiful
gifts testified to the love and esteem
of many friends and relatives.
The groom is a relative of ex-
mayor Lee of Bridgeprt and an ex-
pert mechanic and although at pres
ent in the employ of the government,
being in the draft age, may mean the
call and separation, consequently one
more war-wedding is added to the
list.
After a brief wedding trip the
couple will reside in Bridgeport
where. they have hosts of friends to
wish them WE'LL

More or less comment has been
heard regarding the fact that state
food administrator, Robert Scoville,
of Salisbury refused to stop his car
when requested, as he was passing
through here Sunday. From an item
in the Winsted Citizen it seems that
Mr.. Scoville stopped in that place but
was more or less insulting to the
officer and the details were reported
to Inspector Gidman of Norfolk, by
the chief of police.
While we are not acquainted per-
sonally with the facts of the case in
Winsted, it seems to us that govern
eminent official should be willing and
anxious to abide by the orders of the
government, and do so in courteous
manner. His example, if report is
true, is hardly worthy of emulation
by those who are less fortunate and
as rule, have always respected men
worthy of holding such responsible
government position.

CONVERSION OF BONDS

The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of
a per cent bonds of the Third Liber-
ty Loan will expire on November 9
next and under existing law can not
be extended or renewed. Delay in ex-
ercising the privilege will result in
over-burdening the banking institu-
lions of the country and the Treasury
Department by making it necessary
to handle all conversions at the last
moment and may result in many
cases in the loss of the privilege of
conversion altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to exchange them
for registered bonds in order to pro-
tect themselves against the risk of
loss, theft, and destruction of their
bonds.
The banks throughout the country
as matter of patriotic service, will
doubtless all assist bondholders in
converting and registering their
bonds

PROHIBITION AND REVENUE

After the first of the year no more
beer will be sold, with the result, &C
eording to New York saloon men,
that many saloons will have to close
their doors. The fact that many
saloons must close is not to be re-
GREETED, as those who have conducted
such places are entirely to blame for
The reputation which they bear. But
why do away with the lesser of two
or possibly more evils when it would
be just as easy to eliminate the
greater one first?
=. While it is now futile to debate
the situation which the "bone-dry'
measure enacted by congress has
brought about, it is nevertheless
we'll to appreciate some of the facts,
besides prohibition, which will go
hand hand with this measure. 1t
is estimated that the loss in revenue
/ 10 the government when the manu-
facture of beer is stopped, will
amount to more than 100000
each year. Even though we have be.
come accustomed to talk in billions
this sum of money is not to be ig.
nored and like sum must be raised
from some other source. The othe1
source very likely will be that class

of necessities which the people OF

of necessities which the people of
moderate means must have.
Then there is the question which
will sooner or later arise in every
thinking mans mind: "What right
has small minority of men to say
the entire country shall be bone-dry,
thus destroying the individuality of
every state?" Has not such legisla-
ton more of an autocratic than dem
ocratic flavor? Some may advance
the argument that the enactment of
such law is for the good and well
fare of the country; but who knows
that it will be? 1t will be nothing
more or less than an experiment and
it's results can not be determined.
Few people are unfamiliar with
the terms "moonshining" and it is
reasonable to believe that if men will
illicitly manufacture alcoholic liquors
in order to evade paying the revenue
thereon, they will also resort to this
method when an acquired thirst for
liquor, amounting almost to a mania,
urges them on. Regarding this as
pect, ex-President Taft, who's opin-
ion is highly respected by all, says:
ga national prohibition amend
ment to the federal consultation
will be adopted against the views
and practices of a majority of the
people in many of the large cities,
and in one-fourth or less of the
states. The business of manu-
featuring alcohl liquor and beer
will go out of the hands of law
abiding members of the commun-
ity and will be transferred to the
quasi-criminal class. In the COM
munities where the majority will
mt sympathize with a federal laws
restrictions, large numbers of
federal officers will be needed for
it's enforcement. The central
government now has very wide
war powers. When peace comes,
these must end, if the republic is
to be preserved"
1t is not the removal of tempta-
ton, but the constant fighting
against temptation, that strengthens
the mind and body of man and
women.

CAPTAIN DRIVER
Christened the Flag as "Old Glory
His Rescue of Pitcairn Islanders

The subject of who first named
our flag "Old Glory" is discussed in
this query, and as the son of the late
Stephen Driver and a nephew of the
late Captain William Driver, desire
to make the statement that Captain
William Driver was the one who first
christened the flag as "Old Glory"
The story as related by Mary H.
Northend is very nearly correct, but
needs the correction that it was after
Captain Driver returned from the
voyage, during which he conveyed
the British mutineers of the ship
Bounty from Tahiti back to their
former home in Pitcairn Island, that
he received commentator for his
philanthropic act from the United
States government, and also that
when he was about ready to sail
again on the brig Charles Doggett,
in August, 1881, a band of ladies, in
further recognition of the noble
spirit shown by him, presented him
with large flag which he folded in
the shape of triangle, and hoisted
to the masthead, and as it was I'M
folded there he pointed to it with
outstretched arm and proclaimed,
81 name thee Old Glory. This Incl
dent was subsequent to the humane
act performed by him towards the
Pitcairn Islanders, as may be seen by
the quotation of the letter which fol-
lows, of which l have a facsimile
copy:
Pitcairn Island, Sept.3, 1880.
This is to certify that Captain
William Driver of the brig Charles
Doggett of Salem, carried sixty
five 1857 of the inhabitants of
Pitcairn Island from Tahiti, back
to their native land, during which
passage, Captain Driver behaved
with the greatest kindness and hu-
manity becoming a man and
Christian, and as we can never re-
munerate him for the kindness we
have received we sincerely hope,
that through the blessing of the
Almighty, he will reap the reward
which infallibly attends the Chris
tan.

This correction is also needed, that
when the Union regiment entered
Nashville in 1862 the colonel of the
same inquired if anyone had large
flag (the regimental flag was too
small to fly from the state House) =,
and the reply was made, Captain
Driver may have one" He was
found, and he then brought out his
comfortable, ripped it open, and him
self fastened the flag to the halyards
and hoisted it to the dome of the
state house at Nashville, Tenn, (not
Washington) saying, as he did so,
"Now l have lived long enough" AS
it was so large, however, it was soon
replaced by a smaller flag and later
it was taken to it's present resting
place, in the Essex Institute, Salem,
Mass, where it may be seen.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual lOoker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's S ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine Is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.
