The gastronomic-a1 powers, as well
as the oratorlcal abilities of the Nor-
walk Fire Police and their invited
guests. were given a thorough tcst. last
evening. though in a manner that was
most pleasing to all concerned. The
appoints and good fellowship was
made at u "gobble" party held in the
newly renovated._ quarters of the po-
licn launch of the department. The
dinner was a tribute to the cosine tal-
ents of the entertainment committee.
while that which followed was a natur-
nl sequence of the good nature which
follows a square meal.
The spread consisted of roast tur-
key. cold meats, baked beans, salads.
pickles. celery and the many delicacies
found in conjunction with turkey fod-
dcr. The tables were spread in rooms
adjoining the company parlors. occu-
pied by P. F. Sluttcry. At. the head of
one table was Chief Engineer J. ’i‘.

After thoroughly discussing the

l‘rcsldcut Ambler gave the guests a
bunny welcome on the part of the
Fire Police and acted as hipster of cor-
cuionics at the social festivities which
followed.
Mayor Glover complimented the
company upon the fine spread and con-
gratulated the boys upon the success
of the occasion. He said he was al-
ways pleased to attend the gatherings
of the department. as be was made
to feel thoroughly at home. and en
joyed the spirit of sociability which
marked the gatherings of the Norwalk
lire department in general. The may-
or referred to the fine showing made
by the department at Bridgeport. and
spoke of the compliments the boys rc-
ceivsd upon every hand because it the
fine appearance they presented. lie
recalled a conversation upon the re
vlcwiug stand with Mayor Kerr, of
Danbnry. and the mayor of New Don-
don. when Mr. Kerr inquired:
"What department is that?"
"Norwnlk'a. of course." replied May-
or Glover.
"Wcii. they are a. fine body of men.
but those are Bridgeport police i sup-
pose."
"indeed they are not; those are the
Norwaik police, and we have a num‘
her more just like them." responded
the Norwnlk mayor.
'l‘llc Danbury mayor subsided.
in closing Mayor Glover spoke of the
small fire loss. and stated that he
couldn‘t see why any attempt should
be made to raise the rates. as the in
surance Exchange is contemplating.
He referred to the articles in the Son-
tinel concerning the proposed rules in
insurance rates, and said that the pop
or should be congratulated upon the
stand it had taken giving the public
the fullest information concarning the
scheme. He was of the opinion that
the public should protest as far as pos-
slblo against any material changes as
insurance was high in, Norwalk. com-
pared with its fire loss.
President Ambler referred to Chief
horse of the fire department. in intro—
Engineer Prowitt as the old war
ducing him.
Chief Prowitt responded. saying that
the fire department was all right. "We
are the stuff. The people of the state
of Connecticut know it. not because i
say it. but because! have been told so
by those high in authority. Gende-
men. the Norwaiii department ranks
second to novolunteer fire department
in Connecticut or any other state. One
lirldgeport paper did not give the
boys the recognition they deserved,
but credited them to Dnnbdry in
some instances. and to New York
In others. These gatherings help
improve the department in many
ways, as it, gets the members as-

ALBANY. N. Y.. January iii—Louis
Currier. aged thirtyonc years. at an
early hour this morning cut his wife‘s
throat. broke his son Archie's head
with a baseball but. took a dose of
Paris green. and then cut his own
throat. All three are dead.
lie left a letter addressed to the po-
lice, which showa that the crime was
premeditated. The letter is as fol-
lows:
“To Whom it May Concern: When
you findsour dead bodies you may call
upon the president of the Painters'
Union and get one hundred and fifty
dollars for my funeral and one hun-
dred dollars on my wife. That Will
bury the three of us, i guess. Notify
lsraci Currier. my brother-in-iaw. and
his wife. who is my sister. She keeps
a store on the corner of First and Lex-
Ington avenue. i give them all my
belongings. and also her father in
North Adams. i have a sister on Mor‘
ton street; don't let her see any of
us. it x x x x. With my best

"LOUIS CURRlElt.
"She bought the Paris green herself
last week from Harvitb's drug store,
for the purpose of poisoning me. bitt i
watched her too close and i gave her a
hard death. 1 wish i could have given
her more. for that is not half enough.
i wish i had done it before."
Currier was a painter by trade and
was born at Plattsburg. N. Y. He was
thirtyone year old. His wife wasthe
daughter of John McCarthy. of North
Adams. Mass, and they were married
in that city thirteen years ago. She
was employed in the Brocktonvllie
Woolen Mills at North Adams. Mass.
when she met and married her. They
had but one child. who was the sec-
ond victim of the, father's gruesome
deed. and who was twelve years of age.
Mrs. lsraol Currier. sister of the
murderer and suicide, was seen today
at her home in Lexington avenue in
this city. She exoneratcs the dead
woman. and states that her brother
made life most wretched for his wife.
drinking to excess and abusing her.
Louis called at his sister's home on
Monday last and told her and her bus-
bnnd that he would fix his wife. "LOUIS
had been drinking for two weeks.‘ his
sister said. "and he was a brute. when
he was in that condition. He was 01
an insanely jealous nature, and liquor
crazed him. As his sister i must say
that i don't believe that he had any
right to accuse his wife. She suffered
much for the sake of her boy. due to
her husband’s lntcmperatc habits
Liquor incited him to do the deed. out
in accusing his wife i believe he has
wronged her."

ARGUMENT 0N SCHOOL BILL.
Allowing Religious Teaching in the
Schools of the Philippines.
MANILA. January 12~The argu-
ments on the section of the school bill
allowing religious teachings. were con
tlnued today. Dr. Manuel Barges.
who made the principal speech. said
the friars would attempt to take ad.
vantage of such a situation. and be
urged the commission to consider the
advantages it would give Catholicism.
on account of the church's overwhelm-
ing preponderance.
J. G. 'l‘aft explained that this legis-
lation was experimental. if It became
the instrument of ecclesiastical oppres-
sion it would be repealed.
Dr Burgos insisted that it ought to
be repealed now. The Filipinos. he
said had enough of the results of re-
ligious instruction in the schools.
Judge Taft contended it was impos-
sible to judge of the new system at
haphazard or by the results of anotlr
er. He believed things would be ac-
complished at the present time. which
were impossible under the former
regime. He asked whether it was not
impolitlc to take action which would
unnecessarily shock the feelings of the
Catholic people. '
The doctor replied that it was better
to eliminate now a section which was
bad and certain to create difficulties.
Commissioner Henry C. ide asked
which course would satisfy the greater
number of people.
Dr. Barges. in reply, quoted the dec-
larations of the Malolos congress and
Federal party in favor of the separa-
tion of church and state.
