actions between military men, either of

den to publish or permit the publication

Congregational Church.
In the First Congregational church,
Sunday morning, Dr. Noble preached
on “Our Church and its Work,” hold-
ing up the standard of Christian living
in the light of Saul’s question, “Lord,
what wilt Thou have me to do?” In
the evening his topic was “ A Look at
the Ledger of Life.” The music was
much enjoyed, especially the soprano
and contralto duet in “He Shall Come
Down Like Rain.”

diocese of Connecticut preachedan elo-
quent sermon and confirmed a class of
eleven at Grace church, Sunday night.
BUHGLAHS IIIII.
Peter Mead’s House on
Grand Street Bur-
iglarized.
ROOMS , RANSACKED.
Gained an Entrance by Way of the Cellar
Doors.
Burglars paid a visit to the residence
of Peter Mead, on Grand street, some-
time between 6 o’clock Saturday night
and 8 o’clock Sunday morning, and
took away with them a considerable
amount of plunder.
Wesley, a son of Peter Mead, was the
only member of the family in the house
at the time of the robbery. ,He says
that he arrived home about 11 o’clock
Saturday night, and retired without
having noticed anything unusual about
the rooms. He first discovered that
some one had called when he awoke
Sunday morning at 8 o’clock. A
When about to dress he found his
overcoat missing also an under coat
and vest, in the pockets of which were
a silver watchan'd chain and about $7
In moneyl
Further investigation showed that
entrance had been gained to the build-
ing thrOugh. the outside cellar doors,
by knocking away a few bricks and
turning the wooden fastening that se-
cured the doors from the inside.
Young Mead also found that ‘the
burglar or burglars had visited every
room in the house and had given them
a. general ransacking. ‘
Just what was stolen Mead could not
tell until the arrival of his father who
has been advised of the visit.
The police were notified, but no ar-
rests have yet béen made. The belief
is that the burglary was committed by
some one acquainted with/the premises.
Mr. Peter Mead arrlved in town this
morning and went directly to his home.
He says that he is unable to give in de-
tail the articles stolen, and to use his
own expression, “they comprised a lit-
tle of everything.”
He says that it is the fourth time
within a few months that the house has
been burglarized. He inclines to the
belief that each robbery was committed
by the same party or parties.

MR. HILL’S REPLY.
Makers’
Danbury.
Letter to the Cigar Union of
The committee of the Danbury Cigar.-
makers’ union has received from Con-
gressman E. J. ~Hill. -a reply to the
resolution of the union, declaring op
position to the annexation of the Phil-
ippine Islands, and requesting him to
use his influence against annexation,
which was sent to him recently, as the
representative of this Congressional
district, and to the two Senators from
this state also. Congressman Hill’s
letter is as follows:
House of Representatives, U. S,
Washington. D. 0., Jan. 11,1899.
John N. Riley, H. A. Anderson, Joseph
Hirt, Committee:
Dear Sirs: —Yours of the 4th received.
I do not believe that it is possible for
this or any other Congress to so 'legis-
late as to admit the Philipplne Islands,
Cuba or Porto Rico to such political
relations with this country as will ever
give them a representation in Con-
gress, or give their products free ad—
mission to this country.
I do not believe that anyone contem-
plates either now or the future an-
nexation in' the sense in which you
seen‘i to refer to it, and I think there
is no occasion whatever for any anx-
iety on your part concerning competi-
tion in your trade from the Philip-
pines. If it were to come at all, your
greatest danger would be from Cuba
and Porto Rico, but I do not think
there is any occasion for anxiety even
there. _
My judgment is that when counec-
tion is established between us and
them it will be on the line of the colon-
ial connections similar to that which
now exiSts in'Canada in its relations to-
Great Britain, or else they will have
independence. With kind regards, I
Very truly yours,
1). J. HILL
