"cHARLEY" HAssELL


 And there was Lieut.. Charles J, Hassell of the Fire deparment who met e sudden death short time ago, We knew Charley from old Brooklyn days, when he lived on Porter St., and when his father was employed by the old Hellmann Brewery. The HaSsells were an old-tiine Brooklyn family, who lived among the many other German residents over that way, and mingled with various Irish people who made their home across the bridge in the early days of st. Patrick's parish. We could name many of the old time German and Irish families, if we were SO disposed. But in their day both the German and the Irish were friendly netghhors, good people, kindly in their way, and thoughtful of the feeling ot the other fellow.
 Charley Hassell had been with the Fire Department for many years; he served In the lower brackets, and then went up to command orc of the company platoons. We know few 4iremen of the present day, but 1t is our belief that those who served under Charley thought pretty well or him. We have never heard them say this, because as we have ex- plained, the personel of the present day department Is unknown to us, but we did know Charley, and we feel he was person who never found fault Just So lorg as those under him performed what ever they were called upon to do, And the firemsn of the present day, as people tell us Is of the type that does exactly what his superior wants him to do, and this Is really brought out by the few compaints ever made to the Board of Fire Commissioners,
 Bremen must die like the rest of us, but 1t seemed peculiar he should nave been stricken in the manner that took his life, ol, duty as he was at the time Of his death. Chief Cavanaugh express cd deep sorrow for the man, and in SO doing, well expressed the general feeling of the department as he explained Big ard strong as he looked, Charley, the Chief said. could almost by himself carry Q loaded line up several flights of stairS, and play his line temporarily onto a fire until re- inforcements arrived. He was daring, his company associates said, and hesitated at nothing,
 What moro could be expected Of any fireman in the city,
 Charley Hassell gave all ir him for the benefit of the city which employed him, and by SC doing gained the esteem and good' will of all who followed him ir the years he devoted to the lifC of Q permanent fireman.

py THE OUT EASTER

Thomas M. Crean, of 60s South Main St., died a short time ago' leaving a memory of old days, an the personal solicitation of insur- ance policies, No man was better known In this business than MT, Crean, He canVassed the greater part of the city, day and night, and 1t got so he was known by Q great lot of the many families ot the city. On insurance detail, he was thoroughly posted, he was most convincing In what he had to say, and as a result, ne was considered one of the most thorough of the numerous agents who piled their work in and about the residents of Waterbury.
 Tom CreNn, first experience with us, as we remember 1t, was the sale of e ticket for the annual excursion to Conay Island by the well-known st, Joseph's temper Ance organization of years ago, Our memory is he was one of the ticket sellers at the club house at the corner Of East Main and Maple streets, It was the night before the date of the excursion, and We had saved up enough money to make the purchase, Tom stood at the front gate, helping In the sale of tickets, which al- ways went like "hot cakes" es. peoially the night before the date of the sailing, Just how 1t was we picked him out, we do not remember but we do know from that time on, we were friends, and often discussed the incident aft- erwards, This was in the days when the late J, J, McDonald, James F, FreEey, Michael Nc. mnerney, Lawrence Ryan, Jerry Dillan, and Frank Keeley were among the "btg shots" of the association. They were the actual leaders, and once 0 month, they led the way for oil of the other members to the old St, Patrick's Hall on East Main St., where they listened to an address on the part of one of the priects of the old Immaculate Conception Church. A great body of fine Catholic young men, who willingly gave up their Sunday afternoon to follow the leaders and be rewarded by the sound words of c good speaker and lecturer, You don't find aEy- thing to equal 1t la this day, And once Q month, there was e sacred concert given in the hall by the same body at Q small admission fee, attended by these young men, and their youEg "lady friends. It was innocence In all of It's glory in those days, because the auto- mobile wasn't here then, and the only means of transportation was by the old-fashioned horse drawn hack, or the trolley car,
 Tome CreAn made N complete success out of the business he followed for SO many years, The benefits of insurance among the younger lot he explained fully to his listening clientele, and they generally responded by having policy issued, No matter where or what hour of day he was wanted, Tom Crean answered the summons, willing and anxious to explain the definition of every clause mentioned in the policy No wonder he was successful; he had Q right to the glory of 1t all by reason of the energy and time given by hlm In the enterprise,
 Some few years back, when he retired, he returned to Ireland, his boy.hood h&unts, where he met some of his relatives and children of people who were his compan' Ions when he was young and rol- licking just like all Irish children were and still are, Q pleasant aae
