J. R. Very of the Third Baptist church, followed by short season of lent prayer. The sermon for the even- ing was by the Rev. J. W, Bixler of New London, who was heard with close attentlon as ke upon “The Great- est Dlmvsry, m the text John 45: “Philip “‘findeth _Nathanael, an saith unto him, We have found hlm of whom Moses ‘n the law_and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son ‘of Joseph.” We are living in an age of great discoveries, said the praecher, among which he mentioned the finding of the North Pole and the finding of preventive measures against dlssase, euch as digththeria tuberculo- the hookworm disease. In this relpect we are taking the lead of all the centuries that have gone before. All the clrcumstances and atmos phere surrounding the text show that this disciple considered he had made a great discovery, and it is hard to find language to describe adequately the feeling which lay back of his an- nouncement to Nathanael. It was not alone the hope and longing of the dis- ciple, but of the nation of which he was a part. It was the hope of the R RS O A S S BIRTHDAY BANQUET FOR SUPT. CHAFFEE Given by Fellow Workmen at Taft- ville Weave Shed—Held at Waure- gan and Presented a Mounted Deer’s Head. ‘Walter A. Chaffee of Providence, su- perintendent for the J. W. Bishop com- pany in the construction of the big weave shed for the Ponemah company at Taftville, was completely surprised Tuesday evening when he was shown into the main dining room of the Wau- regan house and saw nearly a score of his fellow workmen on the job seated at the table. The banquet was arranged in honor of Superintendent Chaftee’s birthday and proved a thor- ou'hly delightful affair in every way. Before the first course was brought on, Superintendent Chaffee was pre- sented with a handsome deer-head with antlers, the animal having been recently shot in Canada by some of the mill men. The presentation was made by D. Derosiers of the @lobe Coal Co. of Providence, which has one of the sub-contracts on,the weave shed. Superintendent Chaffee voiced m- thanks in a manner pleasing to all TThe, tollowing accsptaple menu-was served: Oysters in Shell J Horse Radish Mock Turtle Soup Celery Broiled Fresh Bhefish Julienne Potatoes Roast Prairie Chicken, Bread Sauce Potato Croquettes French_Peas Columbian Ice Cream Assorted Cake Toasted Water Wafers Roqueforte Demi-Tasse Almost everyone was heard in the informal after-dinner speaking, after the cigars had been passed around, W.

CHELSEA ANCHORED DURING THE STORM. Did Not Attempt Trip Through the Sound Until the Fury Was Over, Tuesday Morning. It was a hard night on the Sound Monday night and the boats all had rough trips. Included in this was the Chelsea of the Norwich & New York Propeller Co., which found it so bad that Captain’ Colberg_decided to put in to Huntington, L. I, where he re- mained from Monday night until 2.30 Tuesday morning. The hoat reached here about one o'clock Tuesday after- noon. There was some quick hand- ling of the freight. for the boat was unloaded and reloaded again so that it left for its regular trip to New York soon after six in the evening. Navigation suffered but ‘little, be- cause signals of the approaching storm had been set all along the At- lantic coast, and mariners did not risk the fury of the wind by leaving their havens of safety. While the freight steamers of the Central Ver- mont Railway Co. and the New Eng- land Navigation Co. were not seri- ously delayed on their_ journeys to New London from New York it was agreed that the storm was one of the worst experienced on the Sound in a number of _years. The steamer Georgia of the Joy line put in to New London during the night. She had a large passenger list and many were _seasick coming through Long Island sound. Rather than go through the Race the Geor- gia made for New London. She start- ed castward just before 8 o'clock Tuesday morning without landing. MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE WIRES. Fire Alarm Sounded by Falling Limb Tuesday Evening—Repairs ~_Made and All but Polics Wires Are Work- ing. On Tuesday evening at 6.40 o'clock there was one stroke on the fire alarm caused by a limb of a dead tree in front of Willlam Norton's residence in Broadway' falling. With it went the fire alarm and police and other wires. About an hour and & half was required to replace the fire alarm wire there, but It was working agaln at £.20 when the test blow was struck. The tree, it is understood, will be tak- en down. The police signal wires are out of service because of the break. The work of clearing up the debris from the tree which fell at the Little Plain Monday night was completed on Tueaday. All the wires were carried down there. giving the linemen a busy merning, while the iron fence was broken, the glad news of the finding o! u not see then how_ pertinent for you is the question, Have you found him? If we find him at all we must find him for ourselves. Chris- tianity is a religion of personal experi- ence. It will be something if we nnd him in an intellectual way, but that kind of finding is like standing in the vestibule of the temple when we have been invited to step into the temple itself. Every life is a great life that is keyed to the note of the kingdom, and every life may be so tuned. It cannot then be a small life, for it 1s helping on the greatest thing that has been known since the beginning of time. Christianity Is the greatest find for the present life, and if it means so much for the present, what is it for eternity for you and me? Christ needs te be found by us for time and eter- nity. The finding of him is no chance matter. ‘It is the wanting to find him that leads to the glorious consumma- tion. God grant that we may all have |- the blessedness of finding him in per- sonal experience. A prayer and short testimony meet- ing, which was conducted by the Rev. P. 'C. Wright of the Central Baptist church, concluded the service. WILL CASE SETTLED IN SUPERIOR COURT.

The ‘fnjunction matter of the New Haven road agalnst the city of New London, which was assigned for Tues— day, went oft the list. It was a court matter and was to have been heard in New London. Court was adjourned soon after com- ing in for the afternoon session until this morning, when the case of Marion, admr., vs. the Connecticut company will be heard. SPHINX TEMPLE BAND.
