THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1911. COMMONWEALTH CLUB HEARS REV. MR. JUMP In Last Public Speech He Tells What New Britain Should Aspire To. ELABORATE PLANS FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE Boys of Y.

M. C. A. To Hear Success Talks-Rev. Mr.

Maier To Dine With Governor. (Special to The Courant.) NEW BRITAIN, Thursday, Nov. 2. The Commonwealth Club held its first meeting of the season last evening at the Y. M.

C. It partook of the nature of a farewell to Rev. Herbert A. Jump, the retiring pastor est the South Church, who delivered an address on "Dreaming a Better City." An excellent supper was served for members and invited guests. At the close of the dinner Superintendent S.

H. Holmes, president of the club, took charge as toastmaster. He said it was the first meeting of the year of the liveliest organization in this city. The club is two and one-half years old, and ever since its birth has been able it alone. He said the executive committee of the club held a meeting Tuesday evening and decided on plans for the season.

In previous years they had held lectures. This season it is proposed to have five or six meetings of the same character as the present one. Suppers will be held confined to members and guests, and there will be one or more speakers. He urged all to join the club. All the examination is the $1 test, which could be given to G.

S. Talcott, their treasurer, or A. T. Hancock. He introduced as the first speaker Miss Mary S.

Labaree, agent of the New Britain Charity Organization. Miss Labaree Speaks on New Council. Miss Labaree spoke on the Central Advisory Council which was recently organized. She said the object of the council was to get together in philanthropic work. It is the spirit of the times.

Twenty-four churches and societies are represented by delegates, who come to the council meetings prepared to vote on topics which come up. One proper line of work would be of information on municipal problems. Another object is to preworking at cross purposes in charity work. There WaS also need of a general place to refer tramps so as to do away with the tramp evil. She read a letter from the Los Angeles Conference of Social Workers, which has accomplished much along similar lines as the local council proposes to follow.

She said the council would be glad of any criticism or suggestions. Above all it wants to be of service to the community and if any one has any ideas how they could be more serviceable, they would be glad to receive them. C. E. Steele, B.

B. Bassette and Rev. H. A. Jump asked questions about the council.

Mr. Holmes said at the next meeting of the council, the delegates would report on the work which their organizations are particularly interested in. Mr. Bassette asked how many more organizations have come in. Miss Labaree said only five churches have come in.

She thought counting the churches there ought to be twenty more, most of which would be churches. Mr. Holmes asked about the financing the council. He said they had not got as far as that. The expense would be small.

The work would be largely advisory. What Commonwealth Club Has Achieved. Mr. Holmes spoke of what the Commonwealth Club has accomplished. The first thing was the tuberculosis relief.

The New Britain Tuberculosis Relief Society is a child of the club. They were also responsible either partially or whole for the inception of the playground movement. They were mainly responsible in securing the public playground appropriation. were custodians of the international flags used at the Barrett day celebration and they are now at the New Britain Institute. Another piece of work was the securing of ordinances against obnoxious billboards.

They had also conducted a lecture course, naming the noted lecturers who had come. The last, but not least, Lincoln Steffens. Rev. Mr. Jump Tells of City's Need.

Rev. H. A. Jump expressed his regret that it would be his last opportunity for meeting with this Commonwealth Club. He said it was a body of men whose faces front the morning, and that they had three municipal virtues, civic faith, civic hope and civde charity.

They had suffered not a little from the drawbacks of an sympathetic public. They say the club is composed of disturbers of the peace; is upsetting the composure of things; The club should not be criticised when It tries to help people know. Others criticised them for being a crowd of enthusiasts and to this they plead guilty. Speaking of his hopes for New Britain he I study the details of the dream New Britain toward which we are laboring, I discover it implies some changes in that which we call the physique of our civic personality. The improvements that have taken place in the heart of the town in the regime of our present mayor have given great satisfaction to all of us.

The material city of New Britain needs still further to be beautified and made more efficient. We need more parks; parks provided with all sorts of athletie opportunities; parks aiming to serve the people more than to satisfy a landscape gardener and the abutting property owners. We need in New Britain a municipal bathhouse and swimming pool. One has only to do a small amount of calling through the tenement houses of New Britain to realize how limited are the appliances for cleanliness in the case of many a household. If there is a bathtub it is as likely as not to be filled with coal or potatoes; but generally there is 1:0 bathtub.

Water and soapsuds are a means of physical health: they thus aid domestic happiness and contribute to social efficiency. Some of our pr.pujution, to be sure, do not wish to be clean, but many who have the ideal find it hard to realize that ideal. "I have recently read what has been accomplished in the city of Rochester through the establishment of a milk depot. It has been discovered that the number of deaths among babies during the month of July was lowered from 1,200 to 500. While our city is not exceptionally needy in this respect, it is, nevertheless, true many of our foreign born mothers lack that knowledge of hygiene and baby- feeding which would equip them for handling the problem of their children through the heat of the summer months.

Nor can the common man secure certified milk in New Britain at prices at all in the range of his pocketbook. Probably private philanthropy would have to consider this civic improvement, but a better place to invest money for the sake of human life would be hard to find. "Nothing adds more to the intelligence of a city than its public schools and many cities are hopelessly falling short of their opportunities in the use of their public schools. Most of the men in New Britain work ten hours a day. Our public schools work but five hours a day.

The other five hours they stand stiff and prim and silent and school idle. buildings Why to not educate use these the fathers public and mothers, as well as the boys and girls? Why not introduce the 'Social Center idea' into our city until our school buildings every night become hives of activity, where boys and girls are entertained in wholesome fashion, learning self-control and co-operation through the activities of clubs; where their fathers and mothers can be trained in civics and patriotism and in the responsibilities of parenthood; where gymnasiums and roof gardens stereopticons and motion pictures and orchestras and phonographs and lectures and the city officials and the man with a hobby, any other form entertainment instruction are and ministering to the enjoyment of our civic intelligence? 'Another way of improving the mind of our city would be to publish, perhaps in connection with this social center, a sort of municipal newspaper. The city Angeles is about to try this experiment. They intend to run a newspaper. Perhaps this is not so necessary as to bring together under some publication those ideals concerning civic uplift, which ought to be part of the equipment of every intelligent city.

"Let us put more of the spirit of play into our civic life. Let us have a Burritt Day pageant every year. Not, of course, going to the expense that we went to recently, but offering a to all of the groups in our population to express their national inheritance and to come together on the basis of merriment and picturesqueness and fun. Let us enlarge the play festival for our children, which was so successfully carried out last spring in Walnut Hill Park, until it incudes folk-dancing for grown people of all nationalities, as well as for the young people. Perhaps the best way to bring these results about is to add to our municipal officials superintendent of recreation and social service.

Fifteen hundred dollars invested in such a person would bring results which cannot be obtained now when the business man or the superintendent of schools or some other busy person attempts to carry this civic work as a side issue. "And the second way of increasing the civic good nature and the joyous outlook which every wage-earning community needs to have for its good, is to deepen the spirit of brotherhood. This word has been often found in our thought here in the Commonwealth club, and New Britain should be proud of the fact that she has translated this word 'brotherhood' into the tongue of her foreign-born people more successfully than in any other New England city."

A Visit to the Old Poet of the Sierras. (Omer Holman in Indianapolis News.) the folks back in the good old Hoosier state that I am glad they are alive.

Tell them that it depends upon God whether I ever get back to Indiana. I'd love to go back for a while." So said Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, as I left him in the doorway of his simple little cottage which nestles beneath a cluster of Japanese cypress and eucalyptus trees, towering high on the Heights, at Fruitvale, Cal. To his left arm clung his wife, while at his right stood gazing lovingly into his handsome face, his daughter, Juanita. It was a picture of happiness and contentment. Joaquin Miller claims to be a -Buckeye, as his birthplace, he says, was on the line dividing Indiana and Ohio.

Most of his first ten years he spent in Grant county, near Jalopa, close to where the Mississinewa river battle was fought, between Colonel Campbell and his American soldiers, and the Miami Indians, under Chief Meshingomesia, December 21, 1812. Referring to the movement of the Battleground Association regarding the battleground, Joaquin Miller said as he smiled: "That was no battle; it was simply a little scrap in which only twelve were killed and one frozen to death. The battle of Tippecanoe was a real battle." When I entered the home of the poet I was much impressed with the simplicity of everything. There were no mahogany tables, piano nor fine upholstered furnitures only plain, clean furnishings, a few small tables and chairs and over in the far corner a high posted brass bed in which the poet lay, for he had not thought it time for him to get up and dress for the day. Shortly before my arrival he had finished two hundred lines of verse.

Now he desired luncheon, after which he said he would get up. Mr. Miller spends about threefourths of his time in bed. Last spring became very ill and his life was despaired of. His wife and daughter, who were living in New York city, came West and have been living at the Heights ever since.

The daughter, who is 20 years old, is, according to her devoted father, a child of nature, and she loves the Heights. The home in which the family lives is Juanita's, and was dedicated to her by her father, three months ago, when it was completed. I asked the poet whether he had built the cottage and he smilingly replied: "I never could drive two spikes in the same He was too busy entertaining his daughter. They made the plans for the cottage, however, and superintended its construction. The cottage is one of a dozen or more at the Heights.

Most of them have been homes of poets and several are now occupied by California writers and artists. The Heights, which occupy between seventy and one hundred acres, 1s about to be sold to the city of Oakland for the purpose of establishing a park and dedicating it to the poet. Mayor Mott and the Oakland council have conferred on the matter and John P. Irish has been delegated to bring it to a close. Joaquin will continue his residence there till his death.

Then, according to his oft-repeated request, his body will be cremated on a large stone funeral pyre that stands on one of the barren peaks back of his home. It is his desire that the gentle winds carry his ashes to the blue waters of San Francisco bay, off to the fore of the Heights. "When I came here," he said, "there was nothing but hillsides covered with sand and rocks. Since then I planted 100,000 trees and nursed them with a bottle. At first the task was hard, and many a man would have ceased trying, but I do love to win a victory, and I have won.

I have earned the rest I am now having. I sleep from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m.

undisturbed." He has luncheon at 1 o'clock, after which it is his desire to be let alone. He attends to his mail, which comes to him by rural route, and then he reads. After an hour or so he dresses, either for a tramp over the hills with his daughter, or for a ride to Oakland. The afternoon I was there he arranged to ride horseback to town with his daughter for the purpose of buying saddles to replace the ones stolen from their home last spring in their absence, when the poet was a hospital patient. Joaquin Miller's efforts to beautify the Heights have been untiring, and he goes about the farm showing the victories he has won with much pride.

A single glance at the adjoining property is enough to convince any one that that was nothing of an encouraging nature for him to begin his battle, except the view obtained while standing on the highest peaks and looking to the fore. The peaks, especially in fall, are barren, and the broken rocks almost cover the thin soil. Vegetation is burned by the dry season and the burning sun does not encourage remain long in the unsheltered region. But the Heights are different, By never ceasing interest in the ornamentation of the place, the poet has converted the Heights into a spot that causes the visitor to wonder, and even A Warm Bathroom PERFECTION OIL HEATER Every mother should be careful that the children take their baths in a warm room. The chill of a cold room is dangerous after coming out of the hot water.

A Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater brings bathroom or bedroom to just the degree of warmth you want in five or ten minutes. All you have to do is to touch a match. The Perfection Heater burns nine hours on one filling and is always ready for use. You can move it anywhere it is needed. There is no waste of fuel and heat warming unoccupied rooms.

Just the heat you want, when and where you want it. The Perfection is fitted with an automatic-locking flame spreader that prevents the wick being turned high enough to smoke and is easy to remove and drop back when cleaning. Drums finished either in turquoise-blue enamel or plain steel; light and ornamental, yet strong and durable- suitable for any room in any house. Dealers everywhere; or write to any agency of the Standard Oil Company (Incorporated) if the man were not there the place would still attract, for nowhere in the land of sunshine and flowers is there such a beautiful landscape. I took the Diamond Canyon route to the Heights and walked for three miles over a deserted road that in its prime must have been extremely popular with those who cared to drive through beautifully wooded hillsides and valleys.

Nearly every species of vegetation that grows in California may be seen in the canyon, The scrub oaks gracefully spread their long, twisting, heavily foliaged branches over the precipices, and mixed in with the redwoods, eucalyptus, cypress and fir are berry bushes and ferns, making the roadsides for the most part densely shaded. Peace reigned everywhere, and on the way I observed how unafraid the quails were as they stepped along at a lively pace in the midde of the road ahead of me. A quarter of a mile from the Heights I found a building in which refreshments were served to the thousands of people who annually traverse this highway on the way to pay homage to the poet. After passing a number of cottages I came to rural mail box, upon which was painted, "Joaquin Miller, Rural Route, No. 1, 455." The altitude here is one thousand, and to the highest peak in the rear of the pretty little home the elevation is one thousand five hundred feet.

Leading to the topmost peak, where the poet has erected a twelve-foot pyramid to the memory of Moses, who, he says, may be buried on the Heights for all anyone knows, there is a winding roadway, supported on the outside by a bank or rock, all of which was carried and placed in position by Miller. The roadway winds across the side of the mountain a number of times, on each side being Japanese cypress trees, that add much beauty and comfort on a hot day. Upon these elevations the poet has other monuments and his funeral pyre. Among those who have been remembered are Browning, the poet; John C. Fremont.

the pathfinder, and Joaquin Miller's mother, for whom has a great deal of reverence. As he lay in his bed after I told him that wished to go up the hill, he said: "Go by mother's grave." When I reached the little burying ground I was much impressed with the beauty spot, which was high up and about forty feet square, surrounded on three sides by cypress trees. There were fourteen little stone encircled mounds, none identified by lettering. However, there were small wooden crosses at the heads of two, and these graves, I learned, contained the bodies of the poet's mother and a daughter. The other graves are the final resting places of friends.

As I stood leaning against the pyraerected to Moses gazed forward I felt that his judgment twentysix years ago, when picked the Heights for his Eden was certainly excellent. The sunset in the Golden Gate impressed me with its intense beauty and the superb coloring. Im- I Berkeley mediately and before me lay Oakland, Francisco Alameda, with the San Francisco, Bay between these and San of and Sausalito, The islands Alcatraz. the Goat and others the bay, while farther on and over dot the hills to the west spreads the peaceful Pacific, the glistening waters gently waving farewell to the great yellow globe as it descended on the other side. It was easy to understand why Miller desired to commune with Joaquin nature here.

On the way down my attention was called to other things Joaquin had done to add beauty to his home. Channels and ponds made by him Were covered with broad leaves, between which peeped beautiful water and on either bank were rows of beaulilies, tiful roses and plants rarely seen outside of hothouses. Beauty and serenity prevailed everywhere. and I felt that with these surroundings a poet could easily find inspiration. It is planned soon to build a car line to "The Heights" from Oakland, and there to build monuments for the dead California writers and artists, and cottages for those yet living.

Bridgeport, whereabouts of Antonia Esposite, who disappeared last Sunday evening after cutting the throat of his uncle, Dominick Di Chiargano, is still a mystery to the police, but they are of the opinion that he is in hiding in some wood chopper's camp or with fellow countrymen in the lower Housatonic or Naugatuck Valley. Twenty patrolmen were out today beating the woods on both sides of the Housatonic and will continue up the Naugatuck as far as possible, unless some other clue develops in the meantime.
