New London Pastor Heard his text the word of Jesus on the cross, In a raid made on Sunday morning between 2 and 3 o'clock at No. 276 Central avenue, said to be the home of Adam Zalinskl, the police arrested Zalinski there with Bennie Gromiko, Felix Costitski, and Zigamond Jacu- buski, the first named on the charge of keeping a gambling house and the three others on the charge of fre- guenting. Upon a complain that gam- bling was going on at the house, the arrests were made by Sergeant John H. Kane and Policemen Carroll and Delaney, who found no trouble in get- ting into the house, which is on the corner of Seventh street and Central avenue, When the party of policemen entered they found the men sitting around a table, they said, on_which was a pack of cards and they found ten cents on the floor, The case is somewhat similar to the arrests made recently in a house on White street, where upon trial in the police court the evidence was not found sufficient to convict on the gam- bling charge but the men who were found in the place were found guilty on the charge of playing cards for money, which is contrary to the stat- ute, Hesides these four names entered on the book at police headquarters there were ten others who fell into th hands of the law over Saturday night and Sunday for various causes.

They were charged with making a disturbance on Franklin square and were arrested by Police- men Morgan and P. Murphy. Four Norwich men and one from Willimantic were arrested for intox- jcation, the officers making the ar- rests being Sergeants Matthews and Kane and Policemen Driscoll, P. Mur- phy, Smith and Donovan. For inde- cent exposure, a Norwich man was ar- rested Sunday evening by Policeman P. Murphy. About 9.30 o'clock on Sunday eve- ning, Policeman M. Delaney came upon a group of men on North Main street near Roath street, where it looked as if a fight was about to start. One man had stripped off his coat and thrown it across a fence. The officer ordered the proceedings to stop and two men agreed to accompany him to the station house, one of them being the man who was making the trouble and the other a man whom the officer charged with interfering with him in trying to_make the arrests. On the way the fellow who had his coat off ran away up Golden street. but the other man. Philip lsper, was landed at the station house all right, and was later released on bail of $100. The man who ran away kept out of the reach of the police for the rest of the night. LOVING CUP FOR MISS DOROTHY J. AUBREY Presented on Her Birthday by Mem- bers of Vaudeville Company. Frank G.

CHARGED WITH SUNDAY SELLING WITHOUT LICENSE State Police Ra Hotei Bristol at New London. New London, Conn., March 29.—State Policemen Jackson, Downing, Bridge- man, Fiynn and Rudd, the latter c this city, raided Hotel Bristol tonight, arresting the proprpetor, James Reed, and confiscated a small abount of beer and wine. Reed was released in $200 bail. He is charged with selling li- quor without a license on Sunday. I.ess than a vear ago the local po- lice caught Reed selling without a li- ;pnse and at that time he was fined 100, DR. HOWE TO PREACH ON MERCHANTS' WEEK SUNDAY. Will Be on Patriots’ Day, April 19— Enthusiasm for the success of Mer- chants’ week—from Saturday, April 15, to Saturday, April 25—has reached the clergymen of the city, and the dean of them all, Rev. Samuei H. Howe, D. D., for over 30 years pastor of Park Con- gregational church, is the first to ar- range to preach a special sermon on Sunday in Merchants' week. By a happy chance that Sunday falls on April 19, Patriots’ day, or Paul Re- vere day, in some states, 5o that it will be fitting that sermons deal with broad patriotic themes. While Rev. Dr. Howe bas not definitely announced his sub- ject, it will probably have to do with factors which make for the moral and business prosperity of a fair city and is sure to be scholarly and interesting. Following the opening Saturday of Merchants' week. that particular Sun- day will naturally partake in a meas- ure of the general thought which is in the public mind, and in all probability other pastors will take up the theme which will be of widest interest at that date. Practically all the churches have rep- resentative members in the Board of Trade and Business Men's association, so that Merchants’ week Sunday will have special significance for every congregation. ESTABLISHES SARAH KNIGHT MEMORIAL FUND George S. Paimer Purchases Commu- nion Cup frem First Congregational Church, Before 183 Madame Knight was a fictitious per- sonage, but clews were found in N wich and New London which followed up have brought to light facts most interesting regarding her parentage and history The silver communion cup presented to the First Congrega- tionai church with this inscription “The gift of Sarah Knight Ch'h of Christ in Norwich Ap' 20 1722 must have been one of these facts. This cup stands nearly four and one- half inches high, has two handles and is three and three-fourths inches in | diameter across the flare. This cup, with one other Friday last, passed into the possession of George | S. Palmer of New London, for the gen- erous consideration of one thousand dollars, which amount is now to be known as the Sarah Knight Memo- rial fund. Once every year this rec- ord is to be read and the fact that the memorial was made possible by Mr. Palmer recalled. In his letter enclos- ng the check he writes: “T suggest that the money be invested as vour previous letter stated under the name of the Sarah Knight Memorial fund, then if the proper minute of the trans- action circumstances be made in vour church record, succeeding generations will understand the whole matter. If the church should see fit to change its mind and desire the cups hack I shall be giad to meet their wishes; main thought in this whole transac- tion being to place the cups where they will be secure from theft or damage. This discussion about the commun- fon cup in regard to which the First church has held meetings and its trus- tees written letters to absent members and in which those now living here have been deeply interestd has im- pressed anew the fact that this older New Haven house proprieto: of which he was was always a popular re- sort for summer guests, made so large- ly by his unfailing good nature, and the personal interest which he took to_make evervone comfortable. __But while ali this was true, his main irniterest was in the affairs of the church which was so near to his heart. Although seventy-three years old, his willingness to help in every way pos- sible did not grow les: He gave without stint of his means, his efforts His watchful care for the financial interests in h his readiness to do whatever be able to improve the \ prop erty, his_desirc to be aiwavs found in his place at the prayer service makes the loss to the church a hard one to bear. The last time he was out-of-doors was to attend the prayer service, and such an exhortation he made that night for men to “get ready for the voyuge that all must soon take.” Not only the family and church mourn his death, but the whole com- munity feel it keenly. He leaves u widow, one daughter, two grandsons and a sister. The sympathy of all g out especially to his wife and family, for rarely does one see such devotion, and in all the fifty years of their wedded life one had never gone awa: from the island unless the othexr wasr able to go aiso. | part of the town was, with its church and town meeting, at the very be- ginnings of the history and p- ment of our nastion Some time after the presentation of the Knight c#, as the records show, the church in 1769 purchased three silver cups of Wil- liam Holmes, Jr. in Boston. They were_of the same general pattern as the Knight cup and were doubtless intended to complete the set. Madame Sarah Kemble K born in Boston April 19, 1866. husband was Richard Knight of Bos- ton. After the marriage of her daugh- ter with Col. Livingston of New. Lon- don she lived in Norwich, her dwelling house being here and her farms within the bounds of New London. This rec rd is on the town books in Norwich: The Towne grants liberty to Mrs. Sarah Knight to sitt in the pue where she use to sitt in ve meeting house.” Madame Knight wrote a record of & journey from Boston to New York in the vear 1704 which was printed in Blackwood's Magazine and later in Lit- tei's Living Age. This was at Arst thought to be fictitious, but now is known to be a faithful copy from a diary in the author's own handwriting, and is now in book form in the Otis library. SPEAKS ON THE HERO OF THE AGES. W. H. Easton Addresses Y. M. C. A. Meeting in Colonial Theatre. The bad weather did not keep the men from attending the men's meeting held in the Colonial theatre, Sunday afternoon at 3.30, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Several well se- lected solos were rendered by a double quartette of the Bass-Clef members and_instrumental music was furnished by Swahn's orchestra The speaker of the afternoon, W. . Easton, M. A, of Providence. R. I, was introduced by L. O. Smith The Hero of the Ages was the topic Mr. Easton spoke on and in part he said: Mankind demands a hero. The world loves o hero. But the character of the hero changes with the changing years. In primitive times it was the warrior who could show the largest number of scalps dangling at his belt: the man fleet of limb, and strong of arm was made chief of the tribe. Then the man of wealth became the hero, and today is still often o regarded. But time re- fuses to crown such as the real hero of the ages. But it is the one who can so far abolish self out of his life as to give himself unreservediy for the sake of others’ good Of Jesus was this said, “He saved others, himself he could not save; and S0 he becomes the Man of all time, “The Hero of the Ages.” As Hero he makes the strongest ap- peal to men, challenging the best that is in them, as well as the strongest for the strenuous program he gives Mr. on further showed this Hero as the truest kind of political econo- mist in that he keeps his strong arms of iove and help under the lowest stra- ta- of society, the poor, the weak and the discouraged and lifts them up to higher, better things. The 'hero needed today is the honest man, who will be true wherever he may be placed. The speaker illus- trated this by several -incidents that came under his own observation. The audience of men present were deeply interested in the address and will be glad to hear Mr. Easton again some time.
