IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Remembrance of Mrs. K. r
Nelson. Who Departed This Life on
August 27th, 1919.
The golden gates were opened WIFE,
\ gentle voice said: "Come
And angels from the other SIDE
Welcamed our dear one homo.
In Meterie Cemetery softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies our loved one at rest forever
In her lonely, new-made Craze,
Just one year ago today, beloved ono,
Since YOU left our fireside,
And YOU crossed with the oil ooatman
To the shores on yonder side.
Gone from Husband, Friends and cnit
dren,
Gone from those who loved you VOL;
Tic sorrow your departure gave
We. and we alone, can tell.
We miss thy kind and gentle face,
Thy fond and loving care,
We miss thee from thy accustomed
place
We miss thee everywhere.
You are dwelling now in a lani Il love,
With the Savior and angels up above,
Where YOU II know no sorrow or feel
no pain,
Or see the grim visage Of Death
again.
Nevermore shall tear of sorrow
Dim the brightness of your eye,
Nevermore shall pale lips falter
As they speak the last goodbye.
Earthly farewells all are finished,
Stav, thou weary one and rest,
Sleep the sleep that thou didst enter
Pillowed on thy Masters breast.
You shall never be forgotten,
From our memory never fade,
Loving hearts will always linger
Round the grave where you are laid
We are living only hoping
That when earthly cares are Ger
We will meet you there in Heaven,
Where parting is no more.
A FRIEND.

London, Oct. 28-Si1ent vigil was | Kept at St. Georges Cathedral during the past night over the coffin of Ter i ence MacSwiney.
 When dawn filtered in through the lofty windows of, the gray old cathe- dral, first preparations began for the requiem mass which was to begin a
 II o'clock.
 The guard composed of members : of the London and Cork brigades , of the Irish . Volunteer Army was changed frequently during the night. [ The men were dressed in civilian . clothes and did not carry arms The yellow light of the candles fell on ! the green, white and orange colors i of the Sim Fein flag draped over the : coffin which rested on a catafalque placed before the high altar of the : church.
 Many of the leading English pre- : lates of the Catholic church were asked to participate in the ceremon- l ies at the church. Among them were | Archbishop Daniel J. Mannix of Mel [ bourne; Bishop Amigo of Southwark and Bishop Potter of Portsmouth. 2 Crowds began to gather about the l church long before the hour for the , funeral service to begin. Police guards |; lined the streets. Inside the church ' the pews quickly filled. Sobs mingled ! with untitled exclamations of grief. The plain and simple coffin, draped with the Sim Fein flag and banked with flowers. rested in state on a cata- ' ! head of the church. It had been | placed there by tender hands after the ; removal of the body from Brixton 1 jail late yesterday, following the in- 1 over the body all night long, the I warders being relieved at intervals of ] three hours.
 ! More than 10000 persons filed past the coffin before the doors of the cathedral closed at 10 o'clock. Many men, night workers. visited the church after midnight and, being un. ! abel to enter, knelt in silent homage !~outside. Inside the cathedral mem- ttbers of MacSwiney family sat through the night, occupying mournerS 1 benches facing the catafalque. The . scene was one of tragic sombreness. ] Candles in brass holders as high as a mans head burned dim1y beide the coffin.
 The only discordant note in the
 press comment upon MacSwiney' s death and burial was sounded in the i.Morning Post. This newspaper print led a protest against the governments i-decision to permit a funeral process ,sion.
 A second funeral service will be
 held at Dublin, when the body arrives fthere en route for Cork where it will t4be buried on Sunday beside the Sinr
 Fein volunteers who fell in action.'
 Arthur Griffith, M. F., "acting pres Iident of the Irish Republic" in the
 absence of Professor F. De Valera ; announced that. out of respect to thu imemory of Terence MacSwiney, tomor
 row will be observed as a day of ma ftional mourning in Ireland All bus q mess will be suspended. OnS the es i sential public services will be main ! tained-
 Lady Mayoress MacSwiney collapse,

 and was unable to participate in tn ! ceremony at the cathedral. It is no ] expected she will accompany the bod i of her husband to Ireland.

SAYS COX WILL BE
 A WINNER
Business Man of Middle West Says Democrats
 Will Sweep Country.

John Y. Patrick. a prominent bus mess man of the middle west, is the guest of Wallace Stapleton, former fire commissioner, the local repre- sentative of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. MT. Patrick in a talk with a Times man today said that Cox was going to be the next President of the United States.
 ''I have never seen such swing towards a candidate in my life as there is towards Governor Cox on the League of Nations" he said, My business brings me in contact with many big men o Affairs and they are all utterly sick of the misrepresenta- tions concerning the League of Ma tions and are of the opinion that the only hope for civilization Is TOT Amer ica to enter the League without de- lay. They feel that this can and will be done if Cox is elected. They
 have no way of knowing what Hard ing will do should he be elected, as
 MT. Harding himself appears to be without any definite ideas on this subject" MT Patrick says that thousands oi
 Republicans supported Cox during the three times he has been sue cessful candidate for the governorshlE i of Ohio and his brilliant and progres. siye administration has impressed | the business interests of the west te | such an extent that multltudeS O. | iforward-looking manufacturers w1i l support him for the Presidency.

POTTER
 IS NEW MANAGER
Takes Charge of the Trolley Interests in City of
 Bridgeport.

J. B. Potter, of New York city to day assumed the management of the Bridgeport division of the Connec- ticut company's lines, taking the place of Joseph S. Goodwin, who re- signed his position a number of months ago.
 MT. Potter stated this morning, that he has not yet had a chance to go over the local situation in detail but that no immediate changes are being contem plated.
 After leaving Cornell University MT. Potter accepted a position with
 the Westinghouse Electrical Manu- featuring company, of Pittsburgh. He resigned this office to take "a place as general superintendent with the Sanderson and Porter company, of New York city, which concern was engaged in the construction Of trolley lines in eastern Connecticut. He ti.en became connected with the Con- necticut company, as manager of the New York and Stamford Railway company, having within his jurisdic- ton trolley lines between Norwalk and New Rochelle.
 After quitting this position, Potter again became engaged with the San derson and Porter company, as man. aging engineer. He resigned this position to go with the Federal Light i and Traction company, of New York l MT. Potter comes to Bridgeport from | New York, well versed in trolley 1 company affairs, and will undoubt- edly prove an able man in charge | of the local division over which he | will have full authority.

 30 APPLE
 DAY
Mayor So Proc1aims and For a Week Everyone is Supposed to Eat Apples So That the Biggest Crop May Be Used Up.

In an effort to stimulate the con- sumption of apples and in order that the consumers may profit somewhat by the biggest apple crop iE the his tory of the state plans have been formulated for Apple Week which is to start on October 30, with Apple Day. Every apple producing state is to observe apple week.
 While the apple crop has been un- precedented this fall not only in Connecticut but in every state that produces apples the price as far as the retailer is concerned is no less than it has been in years when ap- pies were scarce. Eating apples of a fair size cost the purchaser ten cents apiece and smaller ones sell three and four for a quarter. Cook ing apples are offered two quarts for a quarter that should be selling for at least four quarts for a quarter
 The high cost of apples is rather amazing when the fact is considered that in the country districts the branches are bending and breaking beneath the weight of the fruit Farmers are not picking the apple: because the prices offered them fol the fruit will not cover the cost 0. picking them to say nothing of pack ing and shipping them, and so thi magnificent crop is going to waste most unnecessarily.
 Mayor Wilson today issued a proc 1anlation for Apple Week.

THE WEATHER

New Haven, Conn. Oct. 2s.-Fore- cast from D. m. Thursday to p. m. Friday:
 For New Haven and vicinity: F'ass and colder tonight and Friday.
 For Connecticut: Fair and colder tonight and Friday; fresh west and northwest winds
 The disturbance from the west that has been prodcing unsettled weather in this section during the last two days is now passing out the St. Law renee valley. It has caused general rains during the last 24 hours from Michigan to Maine and as far south as Virginia. A ridge of high pressure running from North Dakota south ward to Texas is producing low tenn. peratures in the western districts. IL was 20 degrees colder in Atlanta, Ga, this morning than it was in New Ha- ven. The storms are running nearly north and south instead of east and west as they usually do
 Conditions favor for this vicinity, clearing weather during the afternoon followed by fair and colder tonight and Friday.
