tion rolled into one. and 450 members
of the order were in attendance. The
lodge room iii the Franklin building

Charity team was a superb piece of
floor work. and excited the admiration
it deserved.

Seven years ago. on December it

teen members. was instituted at South
Norwaik. by Charity lodge, of Bridge-
port. lt has had Its trials, but today

hardships that have marked the
growth of other lodges. anti from a
feeble and almost helpless infant of

in the state. and its leadership in all
important questions of interest to the
fraternity is eagerly sought. Mrs. D.
B. O'Connor is the noble grand, and
the present membership is 447. Mrs.

Yon Stormoky, Who Secured $46 From
Prank Kornnky. of Ely nvonuo,
goes to Jail for 6 Months.

 

A desire to see the numbers of his
family. from whom be ported in Mora-
via, a little province of Austro-Hun-
gary, at the beginning of the present
year, has resulted in You Stormlky's
commitment to the county jail for five
months, to serve that length of time
for the theft of 845 from Frank Korn-
sky of South Norwaik. on August 5.
.lohii. which is “You" Americanized.
sent the money he took to his family
in Moravia. with instructions to them
to get to America with it as soon as
possible. John was sentenced by
Judge George W. Wheeler in the crimi-
nal superior court yesterday. as brief-
ly told in The Sentinel. after he had
pleaded guilty to theft.

Stormsky is of a low mentality. and
as he had had rather hard luck since
he landed in this country has conceived
the idea that every man's hand is turn-
ed against him. The belief, has not
tended to incline him toward giving the
officers of the law or ills own comisel.
Attorney E. F. Hallen, any assistance
in straightening out his case. and con-
siderable difficulty has been experienc-
ed in making him understand what was
required of him. Four interpreters of
Podsh and Slavic dialect have endeav-
ored to translate the information of
State‘s Attorney Fesscndcn into the pc-
cullur Slavic dialect which he speaks
without success.

It began to look for a while as if
the man could not be put to plea, be
cause of the apparent inability to make
hint understand what the complaint
against him charged. Yesterday Sig-
mund Loewith was "discovered" by
the officers. who have been searching
for somebody fairly familiar with the
Moravian tongue. Mr. liocwitb is a
native of Bohemia. with which king-
doin the fortunes of the smaller prov‘
once were closely allied for many years.
Mr. Loowith made the accused under-
stand the charge agalnst Itim. and re.-
ported his plea to the court. He also
translated John‘s story. for his coun-
sci.

it set-ms that. .Iohu has a brother in
this country. a resident. of Pittsburg.
P3,. who is advancing rapidly in busi-
ness anti is recognized as a successful
man. Hearing of the fortune which
had greeted his brother in America.
.lohn decided to migrate. and he landed
here in April of the present year. Not
having. his brother‘s mind, he made
rather slow progress. He went to Nor-
waik. where he obtained work and he
boarded at the house of Frank Korn-
sky. lie remained there until he fell
ill for a time, got behind in his board,
lost what little money he had saved.
and was ordered out of his boarding
house.

it was then that Ionesomeuess over"
took him. He had a wild desire to see
his wife and four children. and yet did
not. want to leave America and go back
to his native country. because of his
opinion that with the help of his wife
and the comfort of his children he
could make a success of work anti earn
plenty of money to support himself and
family. Not having the money to
bring them to this country, he helped
himself to us which K‘brnsky had suv‘
ed, and sent that. Their be was arrest-
ed. aiiti he has been in jail since that
time.

Ceremonies
Dedication

New Organ at lrinity
Church. with Elaborate Pro-
gram of instrument and
Vocal Numbers. [utertains
a large Audience

A congregation that filled every
available portion of Trinity Episcopal
Church was in attendance, last night.
at the. ceremonies incident to the (letti-
cation of the new organ. The. organ
was acknowledged to be a fine instru-
ment. having a tone of much beauty
and sweetntss, as well as great pOWer,
and under the skillful manipulation of
Organist Edward J, Sims its capabili-
ties were well brought out. The work
of installing the organ was only coni-
pletctl this week. but Mr. Sims had
assisted in Its construction, and had
an opportunity to familiarize himself
thoroughly with the complicated work-
ings of the instrument, and it was con-
cedcd that the elaborate program was
most excellently carried out. The organ
has been heretofore described in The
Sentinel. ’

The program commenced at. 7:45
.i'cioek. with the recital by Mr. Sims.
when the following numbers were giv-
(ll: l‘raeludium. by Geliiaar; Sonata
in D. No. 4. Allegro an'd Andante, by
Guilmant: The Shepherds in the Field,
by Mailing. and Fragment Symphon-
iquc, by Lemaigro. These numbers
gave Mr. Sims an opportilnity to dis-
play the various movements and com-
binations of the flue. instrument, and
he diti it in a manner that called forth
the enconitims of his auditors.

At the conclusion of these numbers
.tir. Sims began the introduction of
the processional hymn. ”Ancient of
Days, and the chair, which had the
assistance of a number of the well-
known singers of The Norwalks, pro-
needed to the chancel. The work of the
choir was exceptionally artistic. his
principal number was the rendering of
.tounod's "Gallia." and in this produc-
tion the choir showed the careful and
painstaking work of Mr. Sims, who is
cliorister as well as organist. The
chorus singing was good, the various
parts being well balanced and the
singers preserved the harmony anti
beauty of the work throughout. One
of the features of the owning was the
soprano solo. “Oh. Turn Ye, Jerusa-
iem." which was sung by Mrs. Menard
1‘. Whitney. This difficult. but ex-
tremely beautiful number was faultless-
ly interpreted, and the high tones were
taken with ease anti sweetness, and in
i manner that brought out many com-
pliments for the artist. The chorus. in
this number, was also at its best. anti
brought the work to a very effective
close.

Harry Pepper‘s solo, “Csntilene,
was given In the polished style that do-
notcs all this artist's singing.

After singing "All Hail the Power of
Jesus“ Name." by the choir and con-
gregation. the offcrfory solo, “0h. Ye
'l‘hat Love the Lord," by Barnby, was
sung by Mrs. Amy Wood Sims. The
miter was in this voice. and the num.
her was very sweetly anti charmingly
rendered.

In Steiner‘s anthem, "Awake. Awake,
Pitt 0n Thy Strength. 0h Zion." the.
choir also ditl remarkably well, one of
the most pleasing parts being the. quar-
tette. which was rendered by Miss
Grace Adams, Miss Elizabeth Richard-
son, W. Fred Ambler and Oliver B.
Jackson.

The "Magniflcut" was also well ren-
dered. the solo being sting by Miss
Adams, in her usual charming style.

The recessions] hymn was “Fight the
Good Fight." and the postludo the
March Triomphale, by Gullmant.

It is due both to the choir and Mr.
Sims to say that the organ was not
completed in time for rehearsals, so
that last night's service was practic-
ally the first time it had been “Bed.

The ceremonies of dedicating the or-
gan were conducted by the rector, Rev.
Romilly F. Humphries. The lesson
was read by Rev. Louis French, rector
of St. Luke's Church. Noroton. and
Rev. Alexander Hamilton, of Norwaik,
also assisted in the service.

At the conclusion of the service the
members of the choir were entertained
in the Sunday school room. where re-
freshments were served and a season
of sociability enjoyed.

The choir was composed of the fol-
lowing:

Sopranos-Miss Grace Adams. Mrs.
W. Fred Ambler, Miss Ethel Britto.

be addresstd to Mrs. Bennett. The pa-
pers referred to are the sealed: let.-
iter by which Mr. Bryan and bully
were to be given $50,000 by opulent
;of Mrs. Bennett, and a letter limillr
iin purport which Mr. Bryan practiced

the. intention of Mr. Bryan and his
wife that only the sealed letter Id-
ldrcssed to Mrs. Bennett who to be
int-ought to her knowledge "and that:
