A tribute by the Women's Association to
the Late Mrs. James II. Inn:
At a meeting of the Women’s associa-
tion of the South Norwalk Baptist
church, held Wednesday, October 17,
action was taken in regard to the great
loss sustained by the death of Mrs. James
H. Knapp. The sentiment of all was
expressed in the following lines, written
and read by one of the members:
In Mnoar or line. Janna ll. KIAPP.
(To the Woman's Association of the South
Nor walk Baptist Church.)
We are sitting 'neath a shadow. today.
This band of workers for God,
For one from our number has passed away
And we are left to "pass under the rod.“
Our sister was always lor al to God.
Loyal and kind to the poor:
Was ever ready to send abr. rad
Iilch gifts for the mission store.
Her cultured voice. too. in sacred song.
Enriched with the Spirit's power,
Checred and encouraged us, all along.
In the church‘s devotional hour.
Her presence, on, in the sick room.
Was a boon that was greatly prized,
For the Christ-like love and humility
In her useful life, was characterized.
As a teacher in the Sabbath school,
ller worth can never be told.
As from out the precious word of God
She brought rich gifts, both new and old.
But her work Is done. her sufferings o'er,
Her victory ‘s won. and now what more 'r
Why you and I can get. from the influence
of such a life,
A stimulant to help in this world’s great
strife.
But as her voice in prayer and song
For our woman's work is still.
We want to come to Thee, 0 Lord,
And more faithfully do Thy will.
With divine help,
M. J. Bassoon.
A committee wee appointed to draw
up resolutions, and at a special meeting

SANDS POINT LIGHT MISSED.
Oystermen and Pilate Think it Should
not Have Been Abollehed.
In accordance with the notice issued a
week ago by the Lighthouse Board, the
extreme end of Sands Point, L. I., was
In total darkness Wednesday night. The
light here has been abolished, and a
great many masters of vessels were puz-
zled by its absence, as the notice had not
been received by them.
The light was established in 1809, and
was on the shore of the Cow Neck, or
Manhassett Peninsula of Long Island.
It Is generally regarded at this point as
peculiarly dangerous. The Sound grows
narrow there, and together with Execu-
tion Light, about a mile distant, in the
center of the Sound, the light now abol-
ished was a guide by which captains of
vessels coming from the east could make
correct calculations and lay out a course
to avoid the bar covered by rocks that
extends into the Sound.
Until the completion of Execution
Light that at Sands Point was a flesh
light. After that it was made station-
ary. The present order dispenses with
the services of Keeper John W. Seaman.
who has spent half his life there.
The oyslrrmen of Port Washington
and Mauhassett complain loudly about
the change. They say the land light. on
account of its background, is seen better
than the one at Execution. Some of
them insinuate that the change was
made at the instigation of a property
owner who has influence with the ad'
ministration and Is desirous of owning
the whole point. Pilots and captains are
prepariuga petition to the government
to have the light replaced.
Captain Schley. one of the lighthouse
inspectors in that district, said yesterday
that the light had been discontinued in
the interest of economy.
“Our appropriations were cut down
about half a million dollars," he said,
"and it became necessary to reduce ex-
penses. About a year ago inquiries were
addressed to captains and pilots who
work on Long Island Sound, taking
them to designate the lights which
could best be spared. The Bristol Ferry
light at Narragansett Bay and the Sands
Point light were pointed out as those of
the least use. The fact that Execution
light, so nearby, is a flesh light, makes
the light at Sands Point unnecessary."

very explicit outline of how people

which people of today pattern after
their neighbors, and impressed upon his
hearers that they should strive to follow
the teaching of Christ.
At the evening service a querlette
choir composed of Mrs. Irving J. Dun-
ning, Mrs. L. D. Keeler, Edward More-
house and Dr. George R. McGonegai ren-
dered excellent selections, unitedley and

Editorof the Sentinel: My daughter
brought home, last evening, a Danbury
Democratic paper, saying the postmas-
ter handed it to her, saying "Give it to
your husband to read, though I don’t
know that he would read it, being a Re.
publican." She says, “He don’t read
either Democratic or Republican matter
in the papers, but my father will read
it.” She was correct, for l glory in
reading Democratic papers, to combat
their free trade heresies, and to become
both drsguetcd and amused, to see the
free born American citizen repudiate his
birthright, in criugglng the knee and
bowing in abject servility to foreign
greed, in crushing out the property and
labor rights of Americans. The paper
spoken of gives an inflated description of
a Democratic meeting in Danbury to
hear Congressman De Forest’s speech,
and the great reception he received, in
which the county’s population was meet
all emptied into Danbury’s lap. Then,
again, what a grand and magnificent or-
ator he was described to be, in the brist-
ling logic that carried his hearers along
the highways and byways of his two
hours' speech. This paper, after carry-
ing Mr. DeForest to the highest pinnacle
of political fame and glory, sat down on
his opponent, E. J. Hill, as a very
small man in comparison to the
great and mighty DeForest. The
friends of the fomer are neither dis-
mayed or discouraged when Democratic
twaddle is at such low rates. The Demo-
cratic paper attempts a defense of free
trade in the line of this old party's con—
ceptions of American interests, in de-
picting the great pros; erity which wrll
come to them in low prices for what
they buy, and the great field (.ipr ned up

its readers that reciprocity under the
McKinlry law opened up those markets
to us, by a mutual exchange of products
of ours they don’t produce, and of their‘s
we don‘t produce. This much was done
without any free trade out on labor from
ten to fifty per cent. under the new tar-
iil'. How are we to get into the markets
of the world Without lowering our scale
of wages if) that of Europe? How nice
it would be to yield up our home mar-
ket under our high price of labor, and
the good prices which high labor begeti

adopt instead free trade, in order to force
ourselves into the markets of the world
