Reniiellonts’
Inst Sermon
Stated that the Church
in Norwalk has Reached a
Critical Period in Its History
-——Rector left for Philadel-
pilia loday
The Rev. J. McClure ileiiows. rector
of Grace Chttrch, preached his vaiedic-
tory sermon yesterday morning and
during the course of his remarks said
that the church in Norwalk was at a
critical period In its history.
Mr. Bellows used as his subject a
portion of the gospel for the day, the
second Sunday In In-nt. “Tltcn Jesus
answered attd said ttutil her, 0 Woman,
great In thy faith; be it ttnto thee even
as their wilt,"
Mr. Bellows spoke of the humility of
the Lord and said that we have very lit-
tle of It and that very few of us have.
learned the lesson of meek and lowly
Jesus, whose humility was his glory
and his power. The reader said he,
tlid notwant to say farewell to the
people of Grace Church for there are
no farewells while we live, and even
when we die it is only for a short
» while.
He desired particularly to sound a
note of warning to the churchmen of
Norwalk; that was that the church Is
on the eve of a very critical crisis in
the City of Norwalk. Selfish prelu-
dioes, he said, must be cast aside. lost
and consumed in the love of Christ.
There had been, he said. a little
feeling of exclusiveness that had pain‘
ed him very much during his adminis-
trations In Norwalk. “We cannot
come into the presence of Christ with
bitterness in our hearts," he declared.
"it Is Impoastblc to come to worship
unless there. is a spirit of ‘worshipful-
ttess In us. As a parting word he
would like to say that we have a great
need to look into this matter: ask our-
selves if we are today nearer the. ideal
of Jesus than we. were a year ago; ask
ourselves if we have bitterness. scl<
fishness and hatefulness in our hearts
and If so let us root it out."
He wished that. all of the congrega-
'tlon were like the then who met at the
rectory some time ago. He. was sor-
ry,that his call to duty had come so
suddenly. but after all, perhaps it was
best not tojiave time to bid all a per-
sonal farewell. as partings were sad at
best and It is better to have the bene-
diction of friends go with one. He
did not wish to say farewell. bill a
word of God-speed, and closed by say-
ing. “I hope we may meet again; if
not here. in the better place."
Mr. Bellows left today for Philadel-
phia to assume the duties of chaplain
on board the United States ship Min-
neapolis, which is stationed at the
Philadelphia navy yard.

In many respects to a career in the

his own vocation—mot for the purpose
of enacting and enforcing a mass of
restrictive and prohibitive legislation,
but to protect

of the greatest foes to decency and

SOUTH NORWALK'S HEALTH
GOOD.
Health Officer Sharer stated todm
that the health of South Norwalk Is
better at the present time than it has
been for the past three months. There
is now only one case of diphtheria

seems as if there were as many cases
as ever, there really are fewer than
during January and February. They
seem to be of a lighter nature also
than those of a month or two ago.

Quarantine Against
Nell no mpshire Cattle
Secretary Wilson Issued on Order To-
thy Pcnvcntlng Shipment Out-
side the State.
WASHINGTON, March 9—Secretary
Wilson today promulgated an order.
putting a quarantine on the state of
New Hampshire on account of foot anti
mouth disease. This order prohibits
the shipment of cattle, sheep or other
ruminants, or swine from or across
New Hampshire into other states or
foreign countries. It also prohibits the
shipment from that state of hides.
skins, hair. wool. horns or books of
ruminants or swine. Animals for im-
mediate slaughler may be shipped
across New Hampshire in cars Willl‘h
have been scaled by spectors of the
department of agriculture, providing
these seals are not bpokcn untihthe
animals reach their destination.
This order In Issued because of a rc-
port received from the chief inspector
of the Bureau of Animal Industry at
Boston, stating that a number of ani-
mals had been shipped frotn New
Hampshire to Massachusetts which
were fottnd affected with foot and
mouth disease. Four diseased herds
had previously been found in New
Hampshire, but all animals in these
had been destroyed and the places dis-
infected and It was supposed the con.
taglon had been entirely eradicated. It
is believed that the present outbreak is
not extensive. It. is now more than
three weeks since any case of the dis-
use has been found in any other state.
CONCORD. N. H., March 9—The dis-
covery of foot and mouth disease in a
hterd of cattle owned by E. R. French,
of Bedford, last week. In a more sen
Iotts matter. the state commission be
lieved, than on similar discovery in the
state since the foot and mouth disease
became prevalent in New England. The
fact that Mr. French is a trader, that
the cattle to question were picked up
around the country, and that: other cat-
tle that have been ambled with the In-
fected herd are now scattered around
the state. all give the members of the
commission. as well II the United
States authorities. considerable con-
cern. Dr. Watson. president of the cat-
tle commission. sent out orders today

Cites Some Interesting
facts in Connection with
the Plans of the Methodist
Preachers
Rev. W. W. T. Duncan’s prelude at
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
last night, was on “The Coming Confer-
ence." He said:
A little over a year ago We made
the New York East Conference the
‘subicct of" a prelude, looking at Its scs-
'siou as a past event. To night we
consider It as a coming event. the un-
ticipation of and preparation for which
may properly be regarded as a current
event. It is well for us to emphasize
the inutortunce of such a gathering»-
not that denominational pride mny bi"
enciutraged ttor that boasting may be
indirlgcd, but because the assembling
of great ecclesiastical bodies does not
receive the attention of the people at
large which Is due. When the great
General Conference of the Methodist
dpiscopul Church met In Chicago three
years ago. the. New York newspapers
gave to it a prominence which was al-
together inconsiderablc when compar-
ed with conspicuous space devoted to
prizetlghts and other demoralizing sen-
sations. When the great Triennial
Convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church met a year ago last fall,
the more sport of yacht racing com»
ple'cly eclipsed that important gather-
cring as far as the public attention
was concerned. This Is a reflection
,on us rather than on the newspapers.
{for it is too true that though we claim
ito be men we have not yet put away
ichiidish things.
1 The gathering of upwards of four
litundrcd tninistcrs representing over
sixty thousand church members, sixty
three thousand Sunday school schol-
ars and eight million dollars worth of
church property, is an event in Itself.
Witch, however, it Is remembered that
these men do not come together for
mere Inspiration and fellowship as is
the case in the ordinary “cottvention”
of the day. but that they assemble to
do certain definite and difficult Work
for this great body of (‘hUi‘t‘ll members
without which it were impossible for
the denomination to continue, then its
importance becomes more pronounced.

BURDICK MURDER MYSTERY.
District Attorney in Buffalo Han Givcn
Up Direction of Affairs.
BUFFALO, N. i’.. March 9——Thc
Burdlck murder mystery received very
little attention at the district attorney’s
office today. The district attorney, It
Is said. will no longer direct the eflorts
of the police. asho has done. Ten days
of work under his direction has
brought little direct evidence to light,
and hereafter the police will Work in-
dependently. The district attorney will
wait until the police department sub-
mils evidence of sufficient weight. to
convince him that they have the right
person and have the evidence to con-
vict this person of the crime.
It should not be assumed. however.
that the police and thn district attorney
have differences. They have not. The
new arrangement scents satisfactory tr
both sides. The officials have found
that the arrangement whereby the po‘
lice worked under the district attorney
proved nothing, and the police now
will be given a free hand. That a
'woman committed the crime the police
still believe. and the movements of the
mysterious "Lone Woman" will be the
clue upon which work will be prosecut-
ed.
in their efforts to ascertain her idem
tlty the police made a canvass of all
the houses In the Burdlck block. They
learned nothing new. The theory the
police place the most credence on now
Is that the woman seen by Policeman
Meyer was the woman who entered the
Burdlck house and committed the mun
tier.
Not less than forty-five minutes nor
more than an hour must have elapsed
from the time the woman left the cab
at one end of the Burdlck block and re
appeared at the other end. and was
seen by Policeman Meyer.
STOWAWAYS PUT UP A FIGHT.
NEW YORK. March 9.—Fierce strug-

them with the robbery of the Union.
Mu, bank. and the murder of Detec-
tive Schumacker. Afterward the men
were taken to the police station to re-
sin for an hour before the departure
f their train. The crowd about the
station became so dense that officers
had to disperse It several times. while
Inside the building women and men
who had secured admission elbowcd
each other for a chance to see and
speak to the prisoners.
When asked about the charges. Ru-
dolph Intimated that he would make no
attempt to deny either the robbery or
the shooting. but that the latter was in
self defense. the posse of which Detec-
tive Schmucker was a member having
started the shooting. he said. Rit-
dolph seemed particularly anxious to
clear his family of any complicity in
the crime. and declared that the state-
ment published In Western papers to
the effect that his sister loaded the
gun with which he fired at the posse
was untrue. He said be loaded the
Elm himself. and that while the shoot-
Ing was going on his stepfather. moth-
er, uncle and sisters were not in the
house. but were hiding behind is nigh
boring blacksmith shop. Rudolph
said he and Collins had heard that
they were going to be hanged to the
nearest tree. If caught. and that they
had no Intention ofsubmltting tnmely.
' especia‘ly as they lilid no way of know-
ing that the posse which surrounded
them was composed of officers.
When asked if he had any apprehen-
sion of mob violence upon his return
to the scene ofthc shooting. Rudolph
here replied that he could not tell what
would happen. "They have done such
things before out there," he said. On
account of the prejudice against them
in Franklin county, he said. a motion
would be made for a change of venue,
so that the cases could be tried In an-
other county.
Speaking nbotit the arrest hero Ru<
dolph remarked that he did not know
the opium were looking for him when
they entered the health! night. “I
thought they ' m the ponds in
