Among the latest publications 1s the autumn list of books printed in the New York Times review, mention is made of a novel by Jessie H. Childs, “The Sea of Matrimony. Mrs. Childs was formerly of Norwich and Iocal friends will be Interested in her first attempt as an author. At the state bricklayers and masons’ convention in Meriden, Monday and Tuesday, it was stated that there is no difficulty between the unions and employers in any part of the state as regards wages or hours and the af- fairs of the state conference are in excellent condition. Local No. 132, Norwich, was represented by Henry | Gee, and No. 26 by James Kellas. Winifred Madeline Lytle, a chorus girl who appeared in this city in “A Stubborn Cinderella,” a fortnight ago, has brought suit for divorce from her husband, a theatrical man, alleging that he was married when he wedded her. The girl was Winnifred Brennan of New Haven. She was married three years ago, when she was en- gaged at a trolley park at Danbury. Lytle deserted both wives. VIOLATED GAME LAW. John Linsky Fined $7 and Costs and is Now in Jail Here. Before Justice Charles A. Williams of Salem, Tuesday, John Linsky was fined 37 and costs, totalling $32.98, for hunting without a license. The court waited all day for the man's friends to get togethér money enough to pay the amount, but they were unsuccess- ful, and he was committed to the jail at Norwich. Game Warden Elmer Chadwick and B. L. Spencer of Salem caught the man in the act last Saturday. It is said it could wlso have been proven that he has hunted on Sundays and also ihat he has shot songbirds, but one charge was thoyght sufficient to show him the evil of“his ways. Linsky is a foreigner and & new- comer to Salem, where he hires a farm. It s expected that he will have no trouble in obtaining his liberty in a day or two. Warden Chadwick shows himself vigilant in rounding up violators of the game William MecClintock of Broadway is in New York for a few days.

John Vetter, chef at the state hos- pital, has just returned from a week's visit In New York city and resumed his duties on Tuesday. AT BROADWAY THEATER. The Chorus Lady. Greatly impressed with the work of Rose Stahl in The Chorus Lady was the audience at the Broadway theater on Tuesday evening, so much so that there were repeated curtain calls, es- pecially so after the third act. Her work at that particular point was ex- ceptionally strong, although there were other scenes during the four acts where she had plenty of opportunity to_display her ability. Miss Stahl is one of the few enter- tainers before the public who has her audiences laughing one minute and crying the next. This ability to shift from the sublime to the ridiculoys and back again is possessed by few stars. It is a valuable requisite and lucky is she who can claim it for her own. As an exponent of slang and as a comedian Miss Stahl is all that her most ardent admirers could ask. She handed out the latest bonmots of the Tenderloin with the most modern trimmings. Her body, voice, face and every bit of her bubbling per- sonality is brought into play for the purpose of pleasing and achieves its aim. Miss Stahl's Patricia O'Brien is & character creation that will stand the test of time. The Chorus Lady has several morals and teaches a number of lessons. It is a wonderful argument in favor of the theory that “the woman always pays.” Both ends of the game of lite are held up to view that these who watch the thread of the plece may choose. The settings of the four acts were excellent, and especially good was the dressing room scene, something which is out of the ordinary in stage set- tings. In the presentation of the play the star has the assistance of some ca- pable people. Silas Shine as Patrick O'Brien was very good, while the whole-souled Mrs. O'Brien is cleverly done by Alice Leigh. The work of this couple is one of the features of the play. Stanley Yessup was a smooth ‘villain, while Claire Lane as the jealous chorus girl pleased. Ken- yon Bishop as the wardrobe woman Eave a clever bit of acting and Isabel Goodwin made good as Nora, while Wilfred Lucas as the lover carrled well his role and the others gave suc- cessful support. OBITUARY. Mrs. John A. Tibbits. From Middleton, N. J, comes the news of the death there of a former New Londoner, Mrs, Jobn A. Tibbits, | reading was_the prophecy of widow of Maj, John A. Tibbits. Mr: Tibbits died at Middleton, where she was on a visit, from typhoid fever af- te~ an illness of a few weeks. Death occurred at midnight as the result of a v.eakened heart. ‘Mrs. Tibbits was the daughter of Jchn Dennis of New London, one of the ‘well known men_ of that place. She was married to Major Tibbits in the '60's. Major Tibbits was connected editorially with the Day and was prominent politically, being four years consul at Bradford, England. Mrs. Tibbits lived at Bradford during her husband’s term of office. Major Tibbits returned te New Lon- don from England in_1893. He took up his home in one of James O'Neifs cottages in Pequot avenue, New Lon- don, where he died within three weeks. Major Tibbits filled many offices, among them speaker of the Connecti- cut general assembly. He was well known as an orator. He was also gov- ernment director of the Union Pacific railroad. About ten years ago Mrs. Tibbits went to New York city, where she has since made her home with her only child, John Dennis Tibbits, by whom she is survived. Mrs. Tibbits was about 65 years of age. She was a half sister of the late Mrs. William H. Barnes of New London and an aunt of Charles W. Barnes and Mrs. C. Royce Boss of New London. Upon receipt of the news, Edward H. Tibbits of this city, a brother-in-law, went at once to Middleton Tuesday morning. The body will be brought to New Loridon for burial. To Arrange for Social. The regular meeting of St. Anne's T. A. soclety was held Tuesday eve- ning in the T. A. B. parlors with an extra large attendance. The members decided to hold a harvest social, ap- pointing the Misses Sheridan, Skelly, Drigcoll, Toonfey and Bresnakmn the committee to make the arrangemems. The soclety expressed great satis- faction over the grand success of A Summer Carnival, in which many of the members took an active part. The annual election of officers is to take place next week. Chel Lodge Clo: Chelsea lodge at Scotch Cap on the Thames, the property of the Chelsea Boat club, has been closed this week for the season, the windows and doors boarded up, the furniture removed, and the place left in condition for the winter.

Haskell towing it up with their launches and a load of chairs and other of the lodge fixtures. Board of Trade Del The following are the delegates from: the local board of trade who will at- tend the meeting of the state board at New Haven on Friday: Charles E. Chandler, William B. Young, 8. A. Gil- bert, E. A. Tracy, Frank H. Smith, Z. R. Robbins, Dr. P. H. Harriman, F. W, Cary and H. W. Tibbit: Seven in Sewing Class. Seven pupils enrollled themselves and started work in the sewing class at the Central evening school Tuesday cvening. Three more young women plan to join the class tonight, and un- der the instruction of Mrs.’ John H. Barnes the new department seems cer- tain to prove a profitable course. Horse Collapsed. Onlookers were surprised when they saw a handsome and healthy looking hores, one of a pair drawing the grain wagon of a West Side dealer, sudden- 1y double up and collapse on Frank- lin square. ‘The sick animal was tak- en to Dr. Gray's veterinary hospital, and an examination showed he was suffering from blackwater. The horse from Norwich. Andrew Swanberg is to be the del- egate from Lodge Oscar, No. 30, to- day at the state convention of the Order of Vasa at Bridgeport. Many ‘were Moved by Those attending the Tuesday meet- ings of the union evangelist campaign were saddened to bave the news an- nounced to them of the death of Dr. Stough’s 11 year old son, which oc curred about 1 o'clock Tuésday morn: ing at his home in Wheaton, Ill. Ex- pressions of sympathy were general for the bereaved evangelist, who was called home last week from the cam- paign here. At the afternoon meeting, where Dr. Stough’s telegram announc- ing the death of his son was first read, a return telegram of sympathy was sent to Dr. and Mrs. Stough. In the evening the chorus choir at the armory arranged to send a bouquet of flowers and a telegram expressing sympathy. It has been decided to continue the meetings into next week, until Thurs- day, and perhaps longer, as Dr. Stough has sent word that he wiil return here after the funeral of his boy, which Is on Thursday. Dr. Stough will be here for the Sunday meetings Evening Service. There were from 500 to 600 in at- tendance.at the service at the armory on Tuesday evening. Mr. Spooner led the usual song service of the first half- hour, during which prayer was of- fered by Rev. W. T. Thayer. Rev. Mr. Cunningham gave notice of the cot- tage prayer meeting at 9 a. m. and the service at the 3 g m. at the Central Baptist church, beside the regular service at the Armory this evening. Death of Dr. Stough’s Son. Mr. Spooner made the announce- ment of Dr. Stough's bereavement, the telegram received by him readin “William wtih Christ. This morning. Funeral Thursday. Will return Sun- day.” A special service of prayer was held in sympathy for Dr. Stough and pravers offered by Rey. Dr. Kauf- man, Rev. Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Herring, Mayor Lippitt, J. L. Case and J. H. Larrabee, the service closing with an appropriate_selection by the choir. This was followed by Mr. Herring's solo, But I Know, giving the keynote to the evening's address upon the sub- ject of Redemption. The Scripture Isaiah in which was the “Ali we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord lhalh laid on him the iniquity of us all” This chapter seems more like his- tory than prophecy, yet it was writ- ten long before the time of Christ, to whom it refers. It uses the same simile found so often in the Bible and having divine sanction as an accurate Qescription—that of comparing men with sheep, Rey. Mr. Cunningham then pointed out the several ways in which men resemble this animal. Sheep are gre- garious. So are men. They are always getting together in large cities. There are more people in New York city than in any but tiree of the United States. Sheep are helpless creatures, more so than any other an- imal. A dog, cat or pigeon can find it way home, but a lost sheep never can. It is an eloquent type of a lost man, who cannot reach home without God's help. It can only bleat out its agony and hopelessness like the man whom the centrifugal action of sin has driven from God—the center. Sheep are extremely silly. What one does the rest will do, whether to go through a glass window or fall into a well. They are no more so thas the small boy who skated on ice he knew to be unsafe because the other bo did it It is just as silly for me to do things simply because some one else did it. A sheep is an animated machine on four legs for converting grass into wool. Like some men, he is always looking down—not up: he has no aspirations. Sheep are timid. One sheep dying in a flock will put all the others into a panic. They are concerning Christ, text, Isaiah 53: Stough’s Son—Evangelist Returns Sunday to Contin- ue Work Until Next Thursday. * His Words—Death of Dr. especially afraid of this and are a perfect picture of men and women who fear death. With these latter it is more the fear of death as a police- man coming to bring them to trial be- fore the bar of God. Those who have taken him for. their Shepherd do not fear it—as the psalmist says—for Christ brings life and immortality. Sheep go_astray. Men lose God. They may lose the image of God. In- stead of walking with uprightness and integrity they bend or crawl through tortuous ways of sin. They may lose the friendship of God. They are like Saul who disobeyed God and would not let Him be the real king and then complained because God had departed from him, They may lose the knowl- edge of God. Like Paul at Athens, Mr. Cunningham pictured the throngs of people here in Norwich, worship- ping at the various altars on our streets, with Christ a lonely figure in the midst, unnoticed by them. To many people here it is true’ that He is “the unknown God.” Or they may reason falsely concerning the future and concerning their relation to God. God alone is the fixed point to take one’s bearing or to plow a straight fur- row in life. “Every one to his own way.” He is seeking his own pleasure or ad- vantage. There is no more lonesome place than among a crowd in a strange city where every one is rush- ing for himself. The spirit of selfish- ness has been cultivated and men need to be taught by God the spirit of al- truism. The great truth of the text is that all—every one—are lost sheep, but that their iniquity has'been laid upon Christ. What grace, love and divine magnanimity to make it meet on him! Why did he die? God, Herod, Judas, the thief, and the devil themselves all testified to his righteous and blameless life. But for our iniquity, he was en- titled to live. He gave his life to save us, This gift of righteousness is for all. There is no reason for any one to be unsaved so far as God is concerned. Our sins are debts to God. ‘We could never pay them of ourselves but Jesus can, and will if we will let him. Several were led to accept this gift at Rev. Mr. Cunningham’s invitation, and during Mr. Herring’s singing of Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling. Afternoon Meeting, At the afternoon meeting at the Cen- tral Baptist church at § ‘o'clock Mr. Spooner conducted the opening song service, after which Rev, Mr. Cunning- ham took charge and called for re- ports from the cottage prayer meet- ings. Quite a number were received. Prayer was the subject of Rev, Mr. Cunningham’s helpful but brief talk, in which he referred first to the an- tiquity of prayer, pointing out that it was no new creation by Jesus Christ, who gave the model prayer, but Christ sought to remove some of the crude conceptions as to its nature. Prayer is the key of the day and the lock of the night. It pays to take time to pray, and we ought to believe our prayers heard and heeded. Prayer is to be perservering also and honest. It must be with believing confidence and submission, passing the direction of af- fairs out of our hands and into God's and not trying to keep our hand on the tiller. The atmosphere of prayer, he said, is the atmosphere of heaven in the sense that prayer is communion with God. Petition is only the lower part of prayer. Whenever a man falls it is be- cause satan has managed to cut him off from prayer, to cut him off from the atmosphere of' the Christian’s native land. Prayer, finally, is always avail- able. Following the sermon was the an- nouncement of the death of Dr. Stough’s son, Wwith. prayers offered by Y. €. A. work. As the phyical director of the local association, ln-u‘:t‘-&nd-_ low, is also just beginning work here, ing George P.

NEW GENERAL SECRETARY FOR LOCAL Y. M. C. A. Picked Up Pay Envelope of a Friend Containing Cash and Check—Kept Money and Endorsed Check. FEarly Tuesday afternoon William H. Snow was arrested on the charge of theft and forgery, both of which charges he hag since admitted. His case will come before the city court this morning. He is a resident of Norwich Town, where he has lived a number of years, and attributes his action to the fact that he had been drinking. On Morday Chief Murphy was in- formed that on the previous Saturday Thomas McDermott had gone to the Glen woolen mill to secure his pay. With him went Snow, who boarded at the same house. Mr. McDermott re- ceived $20 in money and a check for $24.75. Putting both in his coat pock- et, they took a short cut home.
