The speaker drew many lessons
from theme of Solomon, showing that
he could forget enmity when it would
benefit him in a mercantile way. He
argued that persons could forget their
antipathieswlthout much struggle, if
it really benfited them. and that bad
habits eculd also be broken off in the
same manner, provided the person
should exert his will power and look
to him above fer help. He also
dwalled upon the independent spirit
which raukled in the breast of the
Am’ericanfiitizen. and complimented
the- government established by the
forefathers, which imbued the Ameri-
can race with patriotism. He gioriod
in the man who, when he was right
would stand up to its teachings and
not be turned aside by outside infill
ences. Speaking of the reputation of
Solomon as a wise man, he said that
greatness was reputation. He said
greatness many times was achieved
through providentiai circumstances
and could be lost in a day. though it
was months in being achieved. He
spoke of Washington and Grant as
grant men, also Dewey. but of the lat
ter‘hesaldz. “Alas, one day he could
have had anything his heart desired
at‘the hands of the American people
and. today we say of him, fpoor man.‘ '

the Governor's Thanksgiving proclama—
tion. and commented upon it. speaking
specially on the two thoughts contain-
ed in it, that alluding to the nation's
present prosperity. and the advanced
civilization that produces the universal
happy homes that our people enjoy. No
land has so many happy homes. so
many privileges for learning. or so
much that brings comfort and joy. he
said. We are a people prospered and
favored of God. and at the Thanksgiv-
ing time we should try to make our
neighbors and friends happy. and do
for others who are less fortunate.
Christ's mission on earth was to serve
and do for others. Every true Christ-
ian should try to follow his example.
Dr. Streeter occupied but a few mill-

singing in church Work publicly but a
short time. There can be no doubt that
she will develop into the front rank of

Streeter’s address Miss Smith, con-

words and religious sentiment. arrang-

Norwalk Man Paroiod for a Month in
The Custody of the Officer. Pend~
inn His Good Behavior in Do-
mestic Affalrl.
The adjourned case of State vs. Mar-
tin Sullivan, accused of assault upon
his wife, came up before Judge Greg»
ory, in the Town Court at Norwalk,
this morning. At the request of the
wife of the accused, he was paroled in
the custody of the officer for one
month. pending his good behavior in
domestic affairs.
The facts of the case, as revealed
in court. are that Sullivan came home
in an ugly mood and as his wife did
not pour ills tea as quickly as he desir-
ed, being busy with their six-months-
old baby, be got up from the table and
throw the teapot flill of scalding tell
at her and the. child. it missed nei-
head by a narrow margin and struck
the door near by, dellging her with its
contents. She notified Chief of Police
Bradley, and he went down and arrest
ed Sullivan. He was not disposed to
accompany the chief, as the officer did
ilot have a specially prepared warrant
for him, bllt when the bi chief grab.
bed ilini by the back of t e neck. the
desire for a warrant vanished. and the
accused was only too glad to trot quiet-
ly along with the oflicer to Norwaik po-
lice headquarters. After having had
her husband arrested. Mrs. Sullivan
like most wives who have their liege
lords hauled into court. did not want
to appear, stating that she only did ..
to scare him into better behavior. The
case was adjourned, however. to gel
Mrs. Sullivan llito court. She pleaded
hard for her apparently "worsei‘ half.
that he might be given another chance
to behave himself.
Sullivan had nothing to say when
sharply reprimanded by the judge. bill
sat in sullen silence.
“I should not think you would have
anything to say after such conduct.‘
remarked ills honor.
The judge then inquired if Sullivan
was indifferent to tile pleadings of his
wife. and did not care what was done
with him.
“Of course i care," said the prisoner.
suddenly realizing that it, was ilot too
late for the court to give him punish
meiit.
Mrs. Sullivan. though reluctant to
testify against her husband. admitted
that he sometimes came home drunk
once or twice ll week, illld that he had
lost a steady job because of ills fond
nose for drink. She said he had iloi
had a steady job since. and that some
times the family would go hungry were
it not for the fact that she went oui
and worked herself.
The court. records showed that in
drinking as hard as ovcr.
The judge informed Sullivan that lie
was disposed to send him to Bridge
port jail for a sentence that he would
remember for some time as he had nb~
solutely no faltli in him. The judge
then said that on account of tho plead-
ings of Mrs. Sullivan, and that he had
only her to thank. he would suspend
sentence for one month and illiilk the
matter over. He placed Sullivan in
charge of the officer. with instructions
to arrest him if there was aw com
plaillt whatever concerning his con
duct. at home or abroad.

clear voice, and displays it admirably.
Her selections were well suited to her
voice, and thoroughly pleased her and-
icllce. which showed their appreciation
with hearty applause. This was Miss
Selbie‘s first appearance here, and we
hope it will not be her last.
Mr. J. Francis Quinn is a pianist of
high order. his selections were most
difilcult, yet brilliantly performed. and
with ills great expression, coupled with
his unaffected manner, won the well-
merited applause he received.

Stands a Very Poor Chance of Receiv-
ing Sanction of all Powers, it is
Said, Unless Material Amend-
ments Are Permitted.
WASHINGTON, November lid—Tile
State Dcpartmenthas been informed
of the agreement or understanding or
preliminary treat (it is not possible
now to learn ill just what form the
matter stands) reached by the foreign
ministers at Pekiu. it is not regarded
as proper to gIVc out for publication at
this time any detailed information rc-
spcctiag the agreement. It may lli'
stated, however, that the arrangement
stands a very poor chance of receiving
the sanction of all the powers rcprc
seated in tile Pekln Conference unless
some material amendments are per
nlittcd.
Just what the objectionable features
are can only be surmised, in view of
the adverse decision ‘of the authorities
respecting publication. But. accepting
an accurate the statement from l’ckili
that the basis of the agreement is to
be found in the French note. it is easy
to perceive that there are no loss lllllll
two points which. if int-lulled ill thcir
original shape. would not meet with the
unqualified approval of our own gov-
ernment. For instance. the president
expressly reserved his opinion as 10
the proposition that the ’l‘aku forts be
iiislllantlcd. lilo also withhold his lip-
proval of the French proposition tlizli
there be it porillniioni military occupa-
tloll at two or tilrce points on the road
iii-tween 'l‘icil 'i‘sill ilild l‘okili.
Unions ”)0 ministers of I’c-kiil have
made a very substantial change ill the
requirements of the French note. there-
fore it may be predicted that our gov
oriilnent will feel obliged to seek to
make some alterations ill the arrange-
mcnt before it givcs its adherence.
There Is some reason to believe that
illf‘ indemnity proposition has taken
such an excessive form as to make It
iiilposslblc for file (‘iliiiesc govornillclli
to meet lllt‘ demand and this fact. tak-
('Il in connection with tho unreasonable
demands of some of the powers re»
spouting punishments. may require
