The Sindbad was Lecture By dulltnrlinhie “books as a Personal Re- source' Ills Subject III the Darlen free library Course ——Some of the Great Writ- ~ ers of the World Described The second lecture in the Darlen Free Library course was that deliver- ed. last evening. by Hamilton Wright Mable, on the subject. "Books as a Per- sonal Resource." and certainly shed a new light on‘the many benefits to be derived from reading of backs-great books—and those who had the pleasure of hearing this gifted writer on the loc- ture platform Will be no longer aston- ished at the wonderfully beautiful thoughts that flow from his pen. The liarien Town Hall was filled last even- ing, and the audience/sat spellbound during the entire address. The talk was tinged with hero worship. or ra- ther the deepest reverence for the great writers of the ages. Mr. Mable impressed strongly the point that gen- Ius Is not an accident. and that great writers are really not the parents of their works. They are gigantic refiec- tors of national or race life. and the speaker compared them to interpre- ters. The following are a few excerpts from his lecture: "I am going to talk only about the greatest books and if i can I will try to put my hand on the very best of them. I am not going to talk about the kind of books one finds at the news stands In such quantities. When I was speak- ing on a kindred subject in Chicago a lady asked me how i could talk on books. when so many people are suf- fering. i do Iiot believe that more men anti women are suffering today than there ever were. There are more men and women better clothed. better fed. and living better than ever our forefathers did. “This Is the time of knowledge of universal conditionb and men and women are almost overwhelmed with the great problems that seem. after all these centuries, to have been unset— tled. What we need now is courage and vitality. It seems like impertlnenco to stand here and speak for Hunter. Epitu fetus, Dante. Shakespeare. Browning. It would be if we allowed them to speak for themselves. If we took the time anti the solitude to hear their voices. "Great books are not born of a man -——of individual parents-they are born of a nation. Behind every great book. there lies a 'race life.“ A great book is born first in the heart of a race. and then it Is interpreted by great men. If i wanted to define a great book. i should not do It myself. I should sum- mon John Milton here. The keyword of a great book Is not beauty. ‘tho It Inust have some beauty: It Is not pow- cr. 'tho it must have some power; It Is life. “Power cannot recreate Itself. beauty cannot recreate itself: only life can recreate itself. It is the life in the old books that kindled the fires of our modern civilization. About the middle of the eighteenth century there was a great depression.

Norwalk and Bridgeport line. arrived in the harbor this morn- ing on her first trip to South Norwalk. She has already matte two trips to New York since her launching. but has nev- er before been seen here. The Hunt- ington is a steamer which was launch- ed from the shipyards at Noank a few months ago, and has been placed on the line to supercede the old steamer Huntington. which has been sold by the company, and which was such a famil- lur sight to residents of Tile Norwaiks. The new steamer is 126 feet long on deck and has a 32-foot beam. Her hold Is nine and one-half feet deep and she drawn seven feet of water. She has a remarkable carrying capacity for a bout of her size, being very beamy and carried well lift, where there is a great bouyancy. She is fitted with Sul- livan engines. fore and aft compound, having what is known as a 15-30 24 stroke. Her boilers are the latest make Nichols boilers and carry 150 pounds of steam. She has a gross ton- age of about 360 and is Inspected to carry 600 people which is a large num- ber for a boat of her length and beam. She has three decks. Her speed is about twelve knots. and she Is a very steady boat In a seaway, which will make itself appreciated by Norwalk people who take the trip during rough weather. She is handsomely finished In hard wood and has ‘a very pleasant and attractive ladies“ cabin on the sec- ond deck. She has four staterooms for her officers and is equipped with very fine quarters for her crew. She carries a crew of eight men. Her offi- cers are: Captain. in B. Youngs; chief engineer, William E. Munch; pur- ser. John Trainer: mate, Daniel Hege- man; chef. C. B. Tattle. 0n the hurricane deck are four self balling. non-sinkable life boats of large carrying capacity, and two large life rafts. Another impor‘ant guarantee of' her safety is the fact that she ls built with water tight compartments in case of collision. She is very strongly con- structed with heavy timbers. and was one of the best built boats inspected In some time by the custom house auth- oritles. Until .luly I the steamer will leave Huntington on Fridays at” a. m.. for Norwalk and leave here at 4: 20 p. m.. :‘or.Huntington, stopping at Locust )rove on signal. It Is probable that after July 4 she will make two trips a week to this place. coming on Mondays and Fridays. A big excursion is planned from here on July 4 to the Old Home Week celo~ bratlon to be held in Huntington on that date. There will be a great cele- bration and President Roosevelt will attend with a regiment of troops. There will be a very elaborate program car- rled out. The hours for sailing have not yet been settled but It Is possible that the steamer may make two trips on that occasion if there is patronage enough to warrant making the second during the evening. Captain Young‘ is much pleased with his vessel and considers that he has a very fine boat which seemed to be the consensus of opinion of the critics of marine architecture, who viewed her on she came up the harbor this morn: n8 MISSIONARY MEETING.

The street commissioners deny mat a permit has been issued by them to Cary & Rooms for the erection of a building at the corner of Railroad ave- nue and Monroe street for Timothy J. Sullivan.

The commissioners say that it is not part of their functions to give per mits to build and that what Messrs. Cary & Kearns believe to he a build- ing permit is not really one at all. A permit was issued to them to obstruct the street on Railroad avenue. for the purpose of erecting said building. btit they have no permit to build. TEN MEN WERE KILLED.

Reliance, Consti- tution and Columbia, would appear. , There seems to have been this year a reluctance on the part. of the manag-’ . ers of the boats to race in the rain. This is undoubtedly one to the foot ,‘I that the great malnsalls of the yachts cannot stand much of a wetting, as any great amount of moisture' absolutely ruins them for future use. The ex- pense of these sails, which amounts In the case of the Reliance to $7. 000. is not particularly minded. but the sail which she has been carrying‘for the past two weeks has been stretched out Into such line shape that. it Is al- most perfect, oud those in charge of the boat are adverse to trial races which would ruin the sail and necessi- tate a new one. Their excuse. there fore, for not appearing in rainy weath- er is undoubtedly a good one. and at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club this morning it was the general belief that if the rain continued up to noon, the time set for the start there would be very little prospect of the yachts ap- nearing.
