DEATH PENALTY IN- CONNECTICUT Hearing on Two Measures Introduced to Do Away with Capital Punishment THE EXECUTIONS HELD AT MIDNIGHT Show that the Hangman is Getting to Ee Ashamed of His Job, Declared One Speaker Another Speaker Allud ed to Jury Trials as the Greatest Farces Ever Invent ed Sentimentality in Jury Box. j Hartford, Conn, March 31. Before the committee ou Judiciary today was hewi the hearing regarding two meas ures which have been introduced which would do away null the death pc-'uaity In the state if they are enacted lino hiw by the assembly. There was a concerted effort mad this year to get a favorable report trom the committee or the measure and the attendance of those In favor of th abolishment of the death penaity was .quite large. H th measures provide that the measure shall be put to a referendum vote before becoming a final law. Capital Punishment Not a Great De terrent. The hearing was conducted in favor f the measures by Judge N. C. Downs of Stamlord. He stated that the bills hud been introduced by Rt presenta tive KekharJ of Stamford, who was 1U and unable to be present. The first speaker, was Milo J. Norton of Bristol, who said that capital punishment did not act so Kfeatl'- u a deterrent as is supposed and tlvit the average jury dislikes to Hiipoi-e the death penalty, therefore many prisoners are not con victed who under a milder penalty would be punished. He thought that the fart that executions are held at midnight showed that tiie hangman Is setting to be ashamed of his job. lie thought that the state ought to give a prisoner charged with murder a chalice to reform and thut the Connecticut law Is based upon the old Mosaic code of laws instead of upon the doctrine of the New Testament. He alluded to the state as being a ctmijiosite individual una as such It has no more moral right to take away a man's lite than has a tingle Individual. The state, said the epeaker. ought to be the protector or life instead of the executioner. Views of Cornell University Professor. Prof. Carol Arnovlei of Cornell uni versity was the next speaker. Ha quoted tlsrurns to show Unit in states and countries where the death penalty lias bee-i abolished there is a very cOfiKiue.ra.bly greater number of con victions in comparison with the num ber of climes committed. He stated that titfi emperor of Austria is opposed to the death p-inahy and it is only re tained as a law in that country for iue in emergencies. He further stated that in his own country, Rounvinla, that capital punishment has been abandoned with very good results and that Russia onijr uses the death penal ty la political cases. No, Right to Leave Human Life to Juggling by a Jury. Former Representative George P. Hawaii, who drew the bilhisald that THE CRESCENT BEACH POWER AMD WATER COMPANY Favorable Report on Application of the Cruttenaen Brothers. (fpsoial to The Bulletin.) Hrford. March 31. The lneorpori tltT.s committee h-iw voted in executive session to report favorably on the ap plication, of the Oiultendea brothers for incorporation a the Crescent Heacn Power and "Water company for the purpose of supplying light and power and water to the summer cot tagers at Crescent Beach and Sound View, wnen cottages are built at the latter pla.-e. A strong effort has been made to head off this matter in behalf of the Kast Lyme ater coiuiiny and the l.yme lvectrio Power company, whieji had placed in its charter by the Incor porations committee of two years ago h prohibition against going inlo the territory which the. new concern ex pects to cover. Politics and personal Influence of the strongest kind have been -brought to bear on tho matter, with no result other than to delay the mutter and lirlng to tne capitol m.'-n no could better have spent tho'.r time elsewhere. The incorporations committee feels That the fact that there Is already be ing supplied to the beach people light and power and water from small plants which were put in ss a beginning In a sufficient guarantee that tiie new con pany's Incorporators iii"an business, nod the holding of a charter by the TT&st Lyme. "Water company for sixteen years without ever doing 8 thing to supply any water service to aubuly precluded the possibility of consiiier-in:- this company in connection with tiie present situation. The Lyme Power company, too, ought not to tm considered, because it s greed two yar-s ago to the clause In its charter which keeps It out of this field. For an electrical supply there i now running rtr Crescent Beach a gasoline plxnf which supplied sixty liglirs last summer, and the purpose is to increase this and develop til" service this com ing summer, and if It appears Inter that a steam plant would be advisable one will b put in. The water supply constats of two artesiw. wells, which afford an excellent cuallly of t atr, mid which will be added to as the de mands on the service make necessary. There was beXore the commit tee a measure which removed from tho dinner of the Lyme Klectric Power company tiie section wliioh forbade It fv come into the sbore territory, and the company made a brave stand on this, but after granting the Crescent "Beach company's charter the enrnm it ten voted to report the other unfavor ably.

The priest Kittani. who was captured and brought into Fez early this week, was today dragged through the strep's of Fez bareheuded and in chains. Kit tHiii's offense is that he preached a "holy In support of t!i preieod'-r to the Moroccan throne. The vciesl mli who interceded with Sui'.un Mulaj Hand on Kittatii's btjjyalf were prompt ly whipped. Schooner Kitty Lawry Total Loss. Rockland, Me., march 31. The t'o masted schooner Kltty'Lawry of this port went itshore on Black Ledges, near Hurricane Isle today aud became a total loss. Tiie vessel was valued at T.uti. owned by Herbert Colson of tills i itj, and niriisiired. The rrew escaped- The schooner registered 2 gfm ttvtta. the committee ought to decide the miliar .,n the Eiounds of excedienty and that to assume the right to indict all irrepariule judgment mpura infallible judce. liu stated- that the state by maintaining a school lor mur t.L tn inculcate a reopeet for lite and said that if it is wrong for one man to take nuinan mo it is j"" as wrong for Jifty men to do so. He stated tuat it is not right to leave the sacred principle of human life to the juggling by a jury. He ailuded to Jury trials as the greatest larces ever invented, ajid pointed out that, it Is not the severity of punishment which acts as, -a deter rent, but the swiftness and certainty of punishment He pointed out that in Rhode Island. Michigan, "Wisconsin, Kansas and Porto Ilico the death, pen alty has been auolished, and gave a considerable list of Kuropean coun tries. He showed that in Connecticut the convictions number 33 per cent, of the crimes, that in Massachusetts the percentage is 17, and that in Rhode Island, which has abolished the penal ty, the. percentage is 63. In seventeen states the Jury is allowed to decide w hich penalty shall be inflicted, wheth er death or life imprisonment. He did not think that tha fear ol death acted as a deturrent, as there are three suicides for every murler. Dr. Charles li Kowell of Stamford was then heard, and read letters from prominent men who are interested in the movement. Mrs. C. P. Buoll of Fast Hampton, president of the W. O. T. U., spoke along the line that the state has no right to take away that which It can not restore age in. Judge C"vveTi Wanted Death Penalty Retained. The only opponent of the two meas ures was judge George Crowell of Wa terbury, who said that he wanted the death penalty retained for the protec tion of hum:m life. He said that he had no sympathy with the sentiment alists who would stand betwen a man and h!s crime, and said that many of the regions where the penalty had been abolished were benighted regions. He alluded to the rapid increase of insan ity in the state, and predicted that un less something is done to stop it there will be io 11.0 years a majority of the population pf Connecticut insane. Judge Cowell was asked if he would be willing to Inflict the death penalty with his own hands, and replied that while he did not hanker after the hang man's Job. he would not hesilate to perform his duties if he were a sheriff and was called upon to do so. He thought that there is too much senti mentality in the Jury box even now. THE PUBLIC UTILITIES commission si: What Supporters of the Bill Base Much of Their Aopea-1 Upon. (Speoial to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 21. Thai capital ization, bonding or the issuance of se curities by put'li service corporations have none of thern a direct bearing on the rates charged for service has been demonstrated clearly during the recent hearing .before the Judiciary commit tee on the public utilities commission bill reported to this general assembly by the temporary commission created by 'the last. The supp.oriers of this bill base much of their appeal to the people on tne claim that if there were iess water in public service stocks and bonds rates could be reduced. It has been demonstrated and not by corporation attorneys, either that even If this were so, the water which has been put ir.i-o securities In the past cannot readily be squeezed out now and that much that is characterized as water is really included In the prices which the companies tha t bought and combined numbers of smaller compa nies had tc pay for their ftocKs. Tills is. however, aside from the question at issue. It has been repeat edly stated at the hearings iir.d' .s trne that the officials charged with makina rates for public utilities companies di not take into consid ration In any wvy whatever the w.pitaliisation of those companies. Their only thought is to determine what the service is fairly worth what the traffic ought to bear and what rate will bring about an In creased use of the service without ne cessitating an increase of expense in rendering this incommensurate with the returns from it. The bill's supporters have been forced back on their own defenses rgain and again in trying to .show that a remedy for existing evils, if there be any. liea In a different method of chartering and financing public service companies in the future, softer Con necticut is well covered as to public utilities.

Levenworth, Kansas, Marcti 31. The military prison at Fort Leaven worth was destroyed by fire late to night. The prisoners were removed from the cell houses under a heavy guard of United States troops and confined in a stockade. None of the prisoners escaped, so far as a hasty examination of the situa tion showed, but this may not be defi nitely known till daylight. Owing to the Kw water pressure, the fire depart ment of the fort was almost useless. The fire was fought by the soldiers of the fort. wTio were ordered out pf their piarters. Two soldiers were injured while fighting the (lames, but none of the prisoners was hurt. Much excitement attended the re moval of the prisoners, many of whom art desperate characters. It was fer.r ed that they would make an organized br- alt f r ji'l-tr'; The fire broke, out In the tailor shop and it was soon seen that the main building was doomed. A great outcry at once broke out in the prison, the convicts fearing they would he burned to death. They battered on the doors of their cells as the light of the Are streamed in through the windows. Many screamed In terror, for the au thorities for the moment refused to move them. Soon, however, severa'. companies of soldiers, ircluding cavalrymen, had got under arms. A strong cordon of troops was thrown about the prison and every precaution was taken to prevent escapes. All the soldiers that could be spared from the ranks of the fire fighters were detailed as e-uards and then the delivery of the prisoners Wc'is begun. When the bolts of the cell house doors were shot back the flames had reached the main building. If every thing had rot been done in perfect or der lives doubtlessly would have been lost. As it was strict military disci pline prevailed. SCORE OF BUILDINGS BURNED. Firs Raginq at Pine Beach, Va., at 2.10 This Morning. Norfolk, Va.. April 12.40 a, m.

DEPUTY GAME WARDEN FEES. Mr. Miller of Bozrah Before Fish and Game Committee. (Snecial to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 31. A. M. Miller of Bozrah appeared before the joint committee on fish and game this aft ernwi In opposition to two or three measures which would limit the amount of fs which a deputy game warden may receive hen he Investi gates a violation of the game or fish: laws and secures the conviction of vio lators. One measure limits the amount which may he collected to seven dol lars. The .committee has no thought of passing favorably on such a meas ure, but will leave the law Just as it Is, so far as it is concerned. There Is some question of a change in the law which gives the game war den a special fee of $20, because, while the justice courts have usually paid this amount and charged It Into the costs of a case, higher courts have in variably ruled that it was not a proper charge against a defendant and have struck it out. There is a bill in to eliminate tills feature of the law, and it may very likely be reported favor ably. Tiie situation regarding it came up during the discussion on tho other matter. Mr. Miller, it seems, has been tin able to collect expenses Incurred in in vestigating a deer ca3e in the town of Bozrah. after having got authority from county Game Warden Bradford now senator from the 20th district to go ahead In the matter. His inabil ity, however, really consists in not having gone about this in the rltrht way, as the 'committee viewed it. and he was told that he would be able to get his money if he forw arded a. prop er bill to the county game warden and it was sent to the game and fish com mlsmoner with his O. K., and he ac knowledged that he had little doubt that this would be the -wise. Explosion In West Virginia Mine Four Men Entombed. Charleston, V. Va., March 31.

Gleeson of Torrlngton, president of the Connec ticut Funeral Directors' association, spoke for the bill which provides that any applicant for an emhalmers' li cense must. pass a satisfactory exam ination and must have had three years' experience as an apprentice. The ob ject of such preparation being requir ed, it was explained, was to guard against possible contnfion and to pre serve public health. Representative Tomlinson of Danbury favored the measure, and Representative T.ee;e ex pressed the belief t hot candidates for such licenses should be required to pass a rigid examination.. Another dfeitponed measure heprd by the committee was one which would amend the act relating to the ap pointment and terms of town health officers, both making such aopolnttnent subject to the recommendation of the selectmen of the town. A number of persons appeared against the bill, but no one favored it. Dr. W. H. Randall o Sheltot thought such a law would mark a retrograde movement, and Dr. Gaylord spoke against it.

URGENT APPEAL FOR A TAX ON COFFEE Made by Mr. Larrinaga During Tariff Debate in the House. Washington, March 31. An urgeut appeal for a tax on coffee was made in the house today by Mr. Larrinaga, the Porto Kico commissioner to the United Slates. He argued that It waa absolutely necessary that such a mn should be Imposed In order that the Porto Ricans migbt obtain the protec tion which he declared they so sorely needed. Mr. LnrriiiaKa went into statistics at some length, and answered two lines of argument, one that a tax on coffee would assist gigantic speculation 0 thirteen million bsgs of Brazilian val orized coffee and that sncb a tax would be oppressive to the poor man's break. fast table. He denied the truth of the first argument and claimed thaa a duly would be the smallest item in a poor man's breakfast. In closing his speech, Mr. Larrinaga said: "Under monarchical Spain we fought and struggled until wo abolished the slavery of the bleck man," said Mr. Iarrlnuga. "We bueoeeded against the Spanish power, hut are we never to succeed under the Slurs and Stripes in abolishing the slavery of the white man? Is congress going to arbandon us to the tyranny of six men In Porto Kico and to the plutocratic power of lower Wall street and Front street la New York? Our hope is this body, the genuine representation of the Ameri can people." PROMINENT BRIDGEPORT MAM DIED IN DENTIST'S CHAIR. Chloroform Was Being Administered to Charles J. Keteham.

GRUELLING BATTLES HAVE FINISHED FIGHTERS, Heenan Stopped 8ayars Career, While Jeffries Closed Fighting Days of Cor batt, Fitx and Others. "Out hard gruelling battle has often ended the career tMF a good game tighter In the priie ring," said an old New York sport tha other evening, runs a story in tha New York Sun. "In tlia old days especially, when pu gilists toug-bt to a finish, with bare knuckles and almost beat each other to death, many were seriously Injured. Take, for instance, that great interna tional battle between Jonn C. Heenan and Tom Bayers. It was fought just 49 years ago at rarnborough, Ernrland. They battled Xor 44 rounds, laaing two hours and 20 minutes, until the ropes were cut to save tha gallant Bayers from further butchery. He waa boat en almost to a pulp. His nos was broken, both eyes were blinded and bla face and body were oovered with bruises. In short poor Bayers was a pitiable sight and was carried from the ring In a helpless soadltlon. This terrible beating really caused Tom to retire from the ring, for he resigned the championship to Tom Hurst, who lost the title to Jem Mace the next year. "Those were the days when pirgftlets had to fight, when broken noses and cauliflower ears were considered marks of honor by ring followers of England and America. I might Oil several books with other old London rule bat tles In which men beat one another to a Jelly; but let us come down to more modern gladiators. Jeffries has put several jtame fellows out of business by his severe punishing power. Tom f3harkey never fully recovered from the terrific punching Jeff gave him in their 25 round battle at Coney Island, when Jim smashed the sailor's ribs, and battered him into such a condition that he had to ba taken to a hospital. Sharkey was never the same attar this fierce struggle, and he soon quit the ring. After the heavy walloping Ous Ruhiin received from Jeff In 'Frisco 1901 the German gave up the rMt't and retired from the Ratio arena. Roe lin told me the terrific smash Jeff landed in his stomach settled the whle business. "Jim Oorbatt also recorva4 his finish from the bfsT boiler marker in a ten round battle at 'Frisco the satna year. After that beating; which resulted in a knookout, Jim concluded to seek a mora agreeably way of getting the coin. 1 don't believe there is any in ducement that could drag Corbett back to the fighting game. Jeffries also set tled old Bob Fitzslmmons', ring career the last time they net on the coast in 1902. It's true that Fits gave the big fellow a good punohlng. but some of the wallops that Jeff handed him In return broke the old fellow's heart and he's never put up a good ftrfet since. "Poor little George Dtstsn should never have been allowed to go up against Terry MoGovem whan his fighting days were practically over.aad his physique was almost all gone. Ter ry at that time was lust in his prime, and he went at the gallant Dixon with such vigor that he simply slaughtered him In eight merciless rounds. The terrific punching Dixon received that night put a sad finish to his great ea reer in the ring. -His wilting spirit was gone and ha .went down step by step, to an earl-r grave. "Another nitlful eight for old fight poers was the unequal battle between game Jack Dempsey snd Fltxslmmons at New Orleans in 1891. Fitz looked like a gorilla that night as he stood head and shoulders over The Non pareil. Jack had never seen I,anky Bob unt!I he faced him In that ring, hut If he had I think he would hare Fidecteory d him. As I've" so often de clared. Dempsey was never more than a welterweight. He eruld do 140 pounds ajid be good and fit and if he had stayed in his class he would never have -suffered a defeat; hut Jack was proud ami amihitinn.. He was o!so the soul of hoe.itr. ami t'ie man who suggested a fak to him usually had to lisrht then and there. When one of his friends went to his corner and hinted that he C4uld fix it with Fits for a draw, Dempsey turned In aiuror and said: "I'll win ar lose on the level." Bob begged Jack ajuh. aira4a and a gam during the on sided mill, but Tha Nonuarefl peertivelv refused to do so. saying: 'You must knock me ou4 before I'll quit.' In the lath round Fitr put the poor fellow away: I nev er saw such a heart broken man as Dempsey was when he came to his aensas fn hig dressing1 room. It was his first and only downfall. W orled like a child and then raged Irk a wild animal. "Hia heart was brekeet his body vii battered and bruised and his glorious ring career was over. Jack Dempsey was never the same man after that. He pined away Into a quick consumption ana liea at Port land. Oregon, where he lies without a headstone. Brush Banking en Indian Cstchsr. John T. Brush of the New York JJa t to rials says: "We had a good nine last yi-ar. and I am quite sure that wr hare a better nine this year. I should like to say that the achievements of Jack Myers, tha Indian catcher, have not been exaggerated by the New York correspondents. He si on of the greatest batters I have ever had on any team sine l nav been in base ball. He does not irvak a hit every time he cornea to the bat, but there are few times when he fails to aim the ball for the top of trie fence. Herzog, Merkle. Murray and Doyle are In cap ital condition. Thar is not a player on tha nine who has been -ailing since w hare, been in Twxaa. and I am auite as willing to pretflct great things for Marquard as his rortner empJoyer In IrClanapolis.

Norwich, Ct. marau NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1909.- Favors Consolidation of Districts Principal Tirrell Believes It Would Be a Good Thing for Norwich and Recommenced a Committee Be Named to Look It Up Educational Matters Before Board of Trade Enlargement of Academy Building. The March meeting of the board of trade was favored with a large at tendance on Wednesday evening at the Buckingham memorial, the large hall being well filled when President F. W. Cary called the meeting to order short ly after 8 o'clock. After the report of the secretary had been read by H- W. Tlbbits and ap proved. President Cary explained that the KJckerbocker Manufacturing Co., which the board had expected to come here, had been obliged to go elsewhere as the Comstock building was not in fit condition to be occupied. He also stated that the public improvements committee had been at work on the Shannon corner changes, but inas much as Mr. Shannon did not desire to sell and it would be necessary to get it by condemnation, it was decided to abandon the project. The new indus tries committee has Deen doing mucn work, and as the reault the Page Co. is to retain its storehouse here, and the Franklin atreet property has been sold and new factory will be erected there. The following new members were elected: Frank Hempstead. Jamea L. Crawford, Joaeph T. Cruttenden, Frank Coxeter. Reuben S. Bartlett Louis M. Carpenter, Willis T. Rogers, H H. Walker, Guy B- Dotoeare, Frank E. Beckwith, Patrick J. Cassidy, Ellis Raphael, George S. Draper, making the total membership 809. Proposed ftockwell Corner Change. Vice President E. A. Tracy said that there is considerable complaint about the corner of Main and Market streets at the Rockwell building. It la a phys ical defect which it is thought the board of trade can have some influ ence in changing. C. E. Chandler, he said, thought a much better grade can be secured there. It was referred to tho public improvements committee. President Cary announced that ex President Eliot of Harvard is to speak on Progress of Municipal Re form at New London April 8. Prinoipal Tirrell Speaks. Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Free Academy was then presented to speak upon the, proposed legislation relative to education and particularly school equipment, qualification of teachers, and consolidation of districts as applied to Norwich. Mr. Tirrell presented a very clear ana compre hensive talk on the legislative bills and the report of the school commission, aa well as thoroughly taking up the local questions, and during which he advocated the consolidation of the school districts here, and remove the load from the children and give all equal advantages. Everyone, said Mr. Tirrell, wants nis children to have better advantages than he had and one of the greatest advantages he can give them is edu cation, in its broadest sense. It Is a debatable point whether a high school course is absolutely necessary, but ail agree that the grammar school course is and practically all nations demand It up to a certain age. A fundamental education makes the people more law abiding and better. There are five- ninths of the children in tnls country foreign born or of foreign parentage. and the only way to make good Amer icans of them is by meana oi tne schools. The state is therefore feeling the need more and more each year of better schools. A state commission was named and their report is a sens ible one. It makes few sweeping con- demnationa but with each criticism the remedy la suggested. It states that tne scnoois in tne larg er centers are for the most part good, while in the rural districts they are poor. While the statement is often heard nowadays that education la not aa good as it used to be. he offered ev- idence to show that education was much better today than years ago, cit ing Instances in Springfield where ex amination papers of 60 years ago had been given pupils ot tooay, wjin ins result that the pupils of today receiv ed much better marks. Better Education Today. Principal Tirrell atated that he had tried the same plan here with exami nations for the Academy in l8bs. labz and 1863, which were given to the pu- pila In Broadway, west -cneisea ana Greeneville schools, and the results showed a higher average on all the papers, although the pupils were a year or more younger than those who took the examinations originally. More were perfect and the worst papers were better than the worst of years ago. City schools have advanced and ru ral schools have gone backward. The commission based Its recommenda tions on the general idea that the state compels the children to go to school and is duty bound to see that the school is fit to attend. If the condi tions are bad the state should step in and apply the remedy. Requirements. School "buildings should be well ven tilated, well lighted and heated. They ought to be sanitary and have proper seats and the buildings should be ed ucational in appearance and suggest, order, system and neatness, as well as display the patriotic emblem. Con ditions exist in country school houses which would not be tolerated in Jails. Most of the necessary tools for con ducting a school are lacking there. The remedy is to make a law so that no town shall receive state money unless the buildings satisfy the state. Even the poorest acboolhouse has the best gymnasium, an open lot. which is the only advantage over a city school. Qualification of Teachers. The teachers of today are poorly paid, inexperienced and thoroughly un fit to teach the country schools. They are hired by the district committee, often men who are not competent for the work, and small treasuries is an other holdback to getting good teach ers. Thero is no supervision in the schools and there are much poorer teachers than in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The proposed remedy is that after January 1. 1910, that all new teachers must have state certtli cates and that all normal graduates shall receive 812 a week and where the district funds will not allow it the state will pay the difference. Another requirement is that all schools be su pervised. Schools are often harmed by petty jealousies and Incompetent committees. He recommended the early consolidation of school districts. Thero were 1,600 towns in New England hav. ing district systems, but only 78. and those are in thia state, retain them, the rest having gone to a better system. No one defends a district system un less he is personally interested in it. There is a great loss when each dis trict, with possibly only 15 pupils, haa to have someone to do the planning for just those 15 when a teacher can take care of 24 pupils aa well aa six. The district system la wasteful In the bus iness sense. There is also a great waste on the educational side in the ungraded school, a waate of teaching energy. The proposed bills would not afreet chartered districts. Why Not Consolidate Here? Mr. Tirrell stated that the chief reasons he had found against consoli dation here were that the people thought that what has been is right and must be continued. It is a good idea not to change what you have un til yov hare something better, but It haa eea 1 Mill i shush e 1 1 a I I throughout New England that con solidation Is the best policy. Secondly, it Is said that the mem bers of the school committees would oppose It. He said he didn't think this could be so, as it Is an absurd idea. The third reason against it, he understood, waa the financial side. He said he wanted to arouse interest in the plan here, and atated that if Nor wich should assume all the debts of the districts it could not Increase the tax rate of the town one-tenth of a mill. The financial side, however, should not be tha point, but the idea is to give the boy a chance, it is tne hustnesa of the board of trade and town of Norwich to lift the load off the children and give those In all districts an equal chance and not limit those in certain, district and advance those in another. He urded the appointment of a committee to look the matter up to wards a consolidation of the districts. Ellis Raphael asked if Mr. Tirrell didn't think it would be a good thing to have separate schools for boys and girls, but Mr. Tirrell stated that ha did not. tl Others Heard E. A. Tracy expressed delight at the clear manner in which Mr. Tirrell had handled the subject, showing now oe hind the times Norwich Is education ally, and the quicker consolidation comes the better. He moved a vote nf thanks to Mr. TirrelL which waa voted. Pupt. J. B. Stanton of the West Chelsea district spoke at length upon the benefits to be gained by passing the bills before the legislature in De hat of tho sunervlslon. atato certifica tion and the teachers' pension bill and nrna eiven much aoulause.

LENTEN SERVICE HELD AT CHRIST CHURCH. Rev. C. J. Mason of Stonington I Preached at Union Service. The midweek united service for Lent fr the Episcopal churches was held Wednesday evening at Christ church with a irood number attending. The service for evening prayer was read hy the rector. Rev. Neilsnn Poe Carey, a.-. slated by Rev. Charles C. J. Mason, rector of Calvarv church. Stoningt.'n, who waa also the preacher for the evenlne. For his text Rev. Mr. Mason chose John xvl. 12: I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. In an interesting way he developed the point that this text was taken 'm a cnapier wnicn eompnsea part of he final worde before the crucifixion, in which Jesus was fixing tho new relations to pe entab'ished af ter the resurrection. It was a pre lude to the Easter thought and w rolntln to the resurrection. On G -V ida there Is a readings to im.art hu. tin on onlv sneak to minds prepared to teeeive his truth. An application of the text may be made to many His torical steps In world hlrtory that the spirit of truth has brought to pass In a way that men could! not have com prehended in advance. As instan-es he cited the new Russia an the Russo- Japanese war. and, also right at our own door the awakening conscience on those sins that are so prevalent among ns. the divorce evil, cnuci mnnr, peon age, ami the fnancial dishonesty In connection with the trusts. How could we stand the withering scorn of another sermon from tne mount upon these evils. ThA Holv Spirit was never nvire ir resistibly at work and- speaking heart to heart than at the present day. The risen Lord is still our Lord and master whose fuller unfolding to the world is tn be awaited, and let us listen in thee resurrection times and at the end the Holy Bpirit shall lead us into all truth.

NORWICH TOWN. Citizens Want Better Fire Protection The Old Terrent Engine Recalled Firemen's Drill in Byegone Days. A paper Is being circulated to se cure hbse for portectlon against fire. A few hydrants have been placed about the town. In the old days before the fire department was organized in the city of Norwich, there was quite an Institution for protection from lira in Norwich Town. The old Torrent engine, for which subscriptions were collected in 1770 by John Bliss (the original subscription list is now at Bliss' store), was kept in a wooden building next to the brick club house on Washington street. Fire buckets were In almost every house. These were of leather with leather handles. The buckets were 16 inches high and 10 inches in diam eter and easy to use. On each was Its number and the name of the owner. The Green on every other Saturday afternoon was a lively place. Then the fire drill was held. The Torrent .was filled with water from the river, taken up In front of the church, and jets of water were thrown over the church for practice. Such men as Henry McXally, George Jones and Joseph Carpenter, with many more of a former generation: George Yeomans, Joseph Griffin Wil liam Goodell thirty or forty of them with their captain, Benjamin Hunt ington, made up the company. Their red flannel jackets and tall hats gave color, while the crowds watching them added life to the scene. The Torrent was taken down town over thirty years ago and presented to the Thamesville fire company. It went to the Philadelphia centennial: much was said about It in the papers. When it went to the St. Louis exposi tion, the old residents hwe got out the leather bucket, scrubbed them up and sent them on with tha old engine. Euchre Club's Meeting.
