“0 Dluuasaa from a Christian Standpolnt
a Question that Is Engaging the Most

Economists-Other Sermons.
At the South Norwalk Methodist
church. yesterday, Rev. A. S. Kavanagh
preached to large congregations, morn-
ing and evening. The morning sermon
was an able presentation of the humila-
tion and sacrifice of the Lord, based on
the text, “For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, for your sakes he became poor, that
ye through his poverty might be rich.
In the evening he preached upon the
"Great Arbitrator," this being the third
The text
was, “Therefore all things whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you, do
ye even so to them.” This subject of ar-
bitration, he said, was engaging the most

economists, but he proposed to consider
it purely from a Christian standpoint.

giring and healing qualities bestowed by
Christ through nature, and give. thanks
that you were saved. Do not give the

inspiring music was rendered by the

were sung, breathed prayer and bene-

F. J. Force, tenor, and Miss Jennie Pun—

the feeling manner characteristic of his
renderings. In the evening Frank Com-

The biblical passage found in Mark ix.,

O. Sherwood based his discourse in the
South Norwslk Baptist church yesterday
morning. One of the principal thoughts
was that those bowed down beneath loads
of grief or the anticipation of some sor-
row or trouble, should not try to carry
their burdens, but should carry it to
Christ and before the throne of grace
pour out their prayers and he will hear

The air of South Norwalk was filled
with Democratic enthusiasm. Saturday
night, on the occasion of the first
rally of the campaign. Heine’s
band gave an half hour’s concert
on Railroad place, from 7:15 to 7:45
o’clock, then went to the Democratic
quarters on South Main street, and
headed a procession of one hundred
members of the Young Men’s Demo~
cratic Club to Hoyt’s Opera House.
Here there was more music. and when
Chairman Nelson Taylor called the
meeting to order nearly every seat was
taken. The stage was occupied by promi-
nent members of the party and the speak-
ers of the evening. Lieutenant Governor
Ernest (Judy, of Hartford, and Congress-
man Robert E. DeForest, of Bridgeport,
who were greeted with hearty applause
on their appearance. Mr. Taylor, in his
opening remarks, said he felt that the
large audience was present not only to
extend a cordial greeting to the di’.
tlnaulshed gentlemen who were to speak,
but also because of the great interest
felt here and everywhere this fall in po-
litical questions. Meetings of both par-
ties had been well attended, and this was
especially encouraging to Democrats,
because every Democratic speaker had
been able to make his remarks convinc-
ing. 1 The two previous campaigns were
called campaigns of education, and so
ably and intelligently were they con-
ducted that overwhelming majorities
were given in 1890-92 for tariff reform.
Mr. Taylor then spolie of the state plat-
form,dwelling especially on the revis‘
ion of the constitution as the issue by
which they expect victory at the polls,
and took pleasure in introducing Mr.
(,‘ady, whom, he said, Norwalk Demov
ond place on the ticket, and who, this
year, would be first.
llir. Cady, after a few complimentary
remarks, at once took up the State plat‘
form. He claimed that no voter could
read that of the Democratic party and
contrast it with that put forth by the
Republicans, without being at once conv
vinced of its superiority. The princi-
pal clause was the control of the state
The speaker argued that no set of men
should be vested with absolute power in
the control of state affairs. The caustic
tulion ofConnecticut, he said, is about
seventy‘six years old. When it was first
adopted the towns and districts were
more evenly divided. He urged the
necessity of a Democratic legislature in
order to secure a more equal representa‘
tion in the (lsnerai Assembly by smooth
meals to the constitution. The larger
towns should have more representatives.
When Union. with 1-30 more, has as
many representatives as New Haven or
Hartford, it was clear to him an injustice
was being done. lie concluded by a

was the South lorwallr Team.
The football season was inaugurated in
Norwalk, Saturday afternoon, at Nor-
walk Park. where elevens from Merrill’s
Businas college. of Stamford, and the
South Norwalk Football club contested
for the championship of Fairfield county.
The game was a draw, neither side scor-
ing. and a return game will be played at
Stamford, on election day.
About two hundred spectators were
at the l’ark,’when prompzly at 4 o'clock
the game was called. The referee was
Elbert W. Clark and A. B. Little, of
Stamford, actedas umpire. It was de-
cided to have two halves of thirty minutes
each. The home team took the ball and
opened the game with a kick, losing the
ball thereby. Their opponents secured
no advantage, however, and the pig skin
romained in the center of the field for
some time. Norwalk's center was their
weakest spot, and Tome, of Stamford,
made several cficctive breaks through the
line. The tackling of the home team
was magnificent, however, and the Mer-
rills gained no advantage. The first half
was hard fought, but at the end honors
were about even.
leswond half was more exciting,
the special features being Leavitt's long
run and runs made by Gleason around
Norwalk’a ends. The home team made
desperate efforts to secure a touchdown
toward the latter part of tire half, but
their competitors were equally anxious
to gain laurels. and the game was called
with a goose egg for both sides.
Both teams put up a strong game, but
there wassomc c~mmentupon the ”slut,-
ging" and "kicking" done by both sides.
The Stamford men were well organized.
while the home team showed lack of
drilling and were not well up on Signals.
With a little more practice the home
(mm will prove as strong, if not a stron
xer, eleven than the Stamford team.

Hattie; for the month in Baum Nor,

that of September. but nevertheless there
has been much of an improvement over
the same month a year ago.
The Crofet c Knapp company report
a fair number of duplicate orders coming
in each day, and business for the month

The Volk Hat company are still quite
busy on fall orders, and at the same time
have been preparing their samples for
spring. Robert Trimble will soon be on
the road with a line of their spring
shapes, including the best line of light-
welght and hats that they have ever
shown. Their bars are all hand finished,
no presses being in use in the factory.
The Raymond d: Comswck company
are getting out their samples for spring
and they already have some very strik-
ing shapes to show as well as several de-
sirable colors. I18. Milzner, 118 Bush

them on the coast, and Frank Comatock
will cover hisiusual trrritory. Afr. Aces ,

ting good duplicate orders for fall bats.
They will have their line of spring sam.

of them being ready now.

make are popular with the trade and
