The revolving year brings us once
"more to the festival of Thanksgiving.
With grateful hearts attuned to cheer-
ful praise we recount our multitude of
blessings, and under blue and sunny
heavens chant forth the glorious an—
thems of our joy.
When skies were bleak and the cold
and cheerles‘s earth seemed barren and
forlorn, our forefathers gave thanks
amid their deubts and fears; Without
discouragement because of the stupep-
dons difficulties which confronted them,
undismayed by almost fruitless en-
deavor,- they set their rugged faces
toward the future and gained the
inspiration which comes through the
invocation of blessed hope. -,It was a
wise and happy custom. Even as they
prayed and sang the earth became
more yielding and responsive, the hues
of saffron dawn deepened with richer
. promise, and their own undaunted
souls were imbued with renewed confi-
dence. We, their children, though we
are the recipients of blessings of which
they did not dream, follow in their
footsteps. We, too, thank God and
take courage. .
It is a good thing to be thankful.
Thus do we chase away the dark
demons of selfishness and allow our
hearts to burst the cribbed and coflined
barriers which tend to make us indif-
ferent to our brother’s welfare. Appre-
ciating our own auspicious fortune, we
turn to those who have been less hap-
pily remembered and share with them
the good gifts with which the gods
have favored us. This is the true
spirit of thanksgiving. The ancients
knew it. In their wise philosophy they
elevated to the highest pinnacle every
emblem of an appreciative heart. Up-
on the altars of Cybcle they poured
their sparkling libations, and they
remembered their great mother Ceres
with generous offering. From the
fullness which nature granted them
they gathered with gladsome hearts a
tribute of thankfulness and with songs
.and dances dedicated it to the glory of
.the faVoring gods. Thus the Golden
.Age came upon the earth, when hearts
'were always young and sordid selfish-
ness was driven to dark refuge in sub
iterranean realms.
And so to-morrow With triumphant
pecan and the satisfying fruits of
the earth we give praise and hom-
age to the One before whom there
is no other god. Much have we to
'be thankful for. Peace reigns and
.plenteous stores
barn. There are still dark corners
where the sunlight of prosperity does
not shine, but this is the time when we
:should seek these shadowy places and
glorify them with the radience of hu-
man love and helpfulness. In this
,practical age we lay our gifts not; upon
the altars of the gods but upon the
hearthstones of the poor. When we
do this, we exemplify the real signifi-
cance of the festival. Then, and not
until then, can we come unto the Lord
I with thanksgiving or enter his courts
with praise.

BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 23.——At a special
session of the Criminal Superior court,
held in this city yesterday morning,
Dr. Nancy Guilford, the midwife
charged with killing Emma Gill, of
Southington, was arraigned before
Judge George W. Wheeler, and bonds
fixed at $10,000, the amount recom-
mended by State’s Attorney Fessenden.
A motion to quash the

At this point Attorney Klein moved
to quash. Judge Wheeler appeared
surprised and inquired of Attorney
Klein if he intended to press the
motion: The latter responded that he
did, but said he was not prepared to »
argue the matter then.
The matter of bail was then brought
up. Attorney Klein argued for bail
between $3,000 and $5,000. State’s

on the amount of bail referred to the
prisoner as a notorious abortionist and

A‘
Notable Thanksgiving Dinner.
George E. Lounsbury, the Governor-
elect, with Mrs. Lounsbury, will be the
guest of his brother, ex-Gov. P. C.
Lounsbury, at the latter’s new home
in Ridgefield, Thanksgiving Day. Col.
John W. Vrooman and Mrs. Vrooman,
of New York, will be the guests of the
ex-Governor and Mrs. Lounsbury on
the same occasion. It will be first time
in the history of Connecticut that a
citizen of the State, who has held the
gubernatorial office, and his brother,
who is to hold it, have enjoyed a.
Thanksgiving dinner at the same table.
The nearest approach to an event of
this kind was in the case of, Gov. Mor-
gan G. Bulkelcy and his brother, Gen.
William H. Bulkeley, ex-Lieutenant
Governaor of the State.

. COULD NOT DECIDE.
Judge Studley Creates Surprise by Returning
the Andrew Selleck Case.
BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 23. *After keep-
ing a case under consideration for over
seventeen months Judge Studley of the
New Haven county common pleas court
returns itand says that he does not feel
as though he could give a decision.
The case is the action brought by
Marsh, Merwin and Lemmon against
Andrew Selleck of Stratford. It is an
action to recover on several notes which
were given by the defendant’s son-in?
law, William Keys, and which bore the
name of the defendant as an endorser.
Mr. Selleck denied the endorsement
and the plaintiffs bring suit to recover.
The case was heard in the common
pleas court in this county in June,
1897. Judge Studley presided as Judge
Howard J. Curtis did not feel as though
he ought to hear it.
After the evidence was presented
Judge Studley took the papers and that
is the last that has been heard from
the case until yesterday. Counsel have
been waiting patiently for the decision
and wondering what there was about
the case that made his honor so loug in
considering. Now it is returned with-
out any decision. It is supposed that
the court will desire to hear further
ev1dence. City Attorney A. B. Beers
appeared for the plaintiff and- former
Congressman Levi Warner fer the
defendant.

David M. Barrett Makes a
New Venture in
Matrimony. ‘
2nd DIVORCED LAST WEEK.
I'The Bride and Groom Make Their Wedding
Tour in Long Ridge Stage.
l
STAMFORD, NOV. 23.-—-Although the
Long Ridge stage presented its usual‘
sbmbre appearance, Monday afternoon,
it Carried a load- of happiness, such as
it seldom had the chance to carry be-
fore. Two loving hearts that were
iinade one in Tremont the day before,
dame home quietly, and, although they
Expected their own conveyance to be in
waiting for them at the depot, the in-
structions must have miscarried, for
there was no sign of their carriage
when they arrlved. As the couple had
got beyond the iadka‘aidaisical stage in
their love affairs, they did not think it
worth the outlay to hire a carriage and
go home in state. They are democratic
in their tastes, even in the matter of
honeymoons, and so they decided to go
home in the Long Ridge stage.
The couple were David M. Barrett
and’Mrs. Barrett (nee Mrs. Clark) who
on Sunday were married in Tremont.
On the 14th of this month a former
'wife of the groom was granted a
divorce from him on the ground of
desertion. He did not disappear when
he left her a few years ago. He went
to board at the house of the present
Mrs. Barrett, and there he remained
until the divorce episode. Then, being
.a single man again, Mrs. Clark felt
that she could not stay in the house
with him any longer, so on Thursday
she went away. His lonliness weighed

of age. The lady took pity upon him
and consented to make him happy.
Now his home at Long Ridge is a place
of peaCe and beauty.
His first wife was obtained through
the aid of a matrimonial agency in New
York, and Mr. Barrett declares that the
agency foisted a gold brick upon him.
She, made things lively
around his house, according to his
story. Dishes and knives went singing
about his ears, and she even hit him on
the head with a book—at least so his
story went. He did not like such frisky
dishes, and preferred to get literature
in his head in a more approved and less
violent fashion. It was when all this
became unbearable that he sought shel-
ter in the house of Mrs. Clark, and it
was there that peace and love was born
anew. After a long and patient siege
to her heart, which had been beating
time to the march of the century for
sixty years, he conquered, and now, af-
ter his storms and sorrows, he has found
love in a cottage at Long Ridge, filled
