Topography Carefully Studied. As long ago.as 1887° the topography of the region In_which the battle ot the Marne was. fought .was carefully studied by a comipany of spies who presented themselves -even -at the mayor's offices and at the prefecture's as engineers studying: the ground for new railway lines. They gpt all the information they wanted. ~When it was discovered that the projected rail- way lines were myths, it was too late. Artists Sketched Fortifications. They eniploved ' supposed ' artists *to sketch fortifications -and. supposed fishermen to take the depth of the streams. There is. probably not a fort in France that the German's don’t know ‘as well as the French, and it js guite possible that there are river fords indicated on their maps of which the French general staff is ignorant.| It was recently asserted that the Ger- man foreign office possessed a com- plete Hst of all the inhabitants of France whose fortunes made them eligible hostages, as well asa blacklist of all those who had made themselves gonoxious by their avowed hostility to rmany.

It is a house' for_destitute, consumptives and ‘has ‘been built out.of.the.love flowing from’one man’s heart to his fellow men. * Here hundreds have found re- neweq ‘courage and. strength_in place of the despair that was gripping them.

It was chartered {n 1764 by “the Honorable the Governor and Company of the English Colony of Rhode Island and . Providence Plantations,” under the name of Rhode Island College. The trustees met and elected James Maxnning, a young man whose Prince- ton sheepskin was hardly two years old, as “President. of the College, Professor of and other branches of Learning.” Young Man- ning recefved a “call” from the newly organized Baptist church at Warren, Which assured him a living in addi- tion to his high sounding title, and the mext vyear a dozen or more, stu- dmu;hgz.therad mostly by the - Presi- dent himself from Pennsylvania, New Jarsey, and the South, met at the Warren parsonage The faculty was doubled by the hiring of a tutor, and in 1769 the first class of seven mem- bers JTere graduated. vear the college moved to Providence. *University hall was built in its commanding position at the head of Collego Hill, and President Manning l‘i‘nmme mgnister of the First Baptist The Standard Remedy for All Forms of Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles. Are you suffering from some form of rheumatism? Then you need a remedy for that disease only—not a prepara- tion sald to cure ail the ills of, the human - body. - Rubbing in liniments will only quiet the pain temporgrily, but will not remove e cause. Rhe: cleanses hkidneys of the polsonous uric acid __retions; opens the clogged veins so that the healthy blood can pass along the dead matter from the entire system; regulates dis- ordered bowels, and enables a sluggish liver to convert thin, impure blood into rich, life-giving corpuscles. When this is accomplished there is no more rhewmatism, for the source of the dis- ease will be wiped out. Rheuma is free from dangerous drugs.

They came bouyed up with the delusive hope that as soon as they breathed the air of the Rockies they would be miraculously Testored to health. From dark, cheap rooming houses downtown, from coal sheds where they had been sleeping, from the park benches where they had been forced to move on like tramps, these pallid men crept out to the sun- light where Craig had pegged down his_tent. Craig has no worldly wisdom. These men were his brothers in distress. He Dbought more tents and took them in. He fed them and nursed them; thougi he himself was @ fit subject for nurs- ing. His colony grew till thefe werc 20 or 30 of them. The head of it gave his strength and money to care for his charges. The few thousands he had were soon epent. At one time the colonists were reduced to soup and stale bread furnished free by a bak- ery. The founder did not lose faith even when ordered to. move from the land upon which his camp stood. He in- terested the widow of a former gover- nor-of Colorado and she gave him a site for his settlement. ' The news- paners took up the matter and Den- ver awoke to the remarkable work being done by this man. The water company carried its mains to the col- ony and furnished water free.

Its . meeting house still serves the double purpose proposed for it in 1772, “for publick worship of Almighty God; and also for hoelding Commencement in.” It was pitiably small at first, but at his death nine years later the col- lege was well established with a facul- ty of seven, a graduating class of twenty-one and 148 alumni. Nicholas Brown a ‘“leading citizen” of Providence, had given $500 to buy some law books. In 1804 he gave $5000 to endow a.professorship of “belles-lettres,” and the trustees nam- ed the institution Brown University in his honor. A few years later he built Hope College, a dignified old Colonial dormitory, Manning Hall, long the chapel and how the art museum, and a new house for the President. All told he gave the University which now bears his name about $160,000. Francis' Wayland, president from 18277 to 1855, set the whole country talking in 1849 by proposing and put- ting through his famous “new system™ of university study and practice. Another period of growth began with the year 1889, a growth so remarkable that the students and younger alum- tlest soul conceivable, is shy and mod- est to a a fault, his example being re- sponsible for the good will manifested everywhere. “He always looks for the divine in man,” explained the euperintendent, W. J. Ginniff, “and is the only man I havg ever met who follows in his ac- tions’ the teachings of Jesus literally.” Craig will be an unconquerable ideal- ist to the end of the chapter. Mean- while he is mending broken lives, even though he spends his own lavishly. Mr. Dolbeare writes, although he Is situated a long way from the Brother- 1y Relief colony, he is personally ac- quainted . with Or. Craig, .whose life here is so nearly ended, but that his work and influence will live on into the ages. LISBON HOLDS A WARM TOWN MEETING First Selectman’s Report Laid on Table Until Corrected -and Completed— Laying of Tax Also Deferred. The annual town meeting of Lis- bon, adjourned from Saturday, Oct 3rd, was held at Newent last Satur- day afernoon. —After a heated discus- sion during which lively words were passed it was: voted to lay the. report of First Selectman John G. Bromley, upon the table without acting upon it, until such a date as he could correct it ‘and fnake it complete. “The reports of Town 'Clerk and Treasurer Albert A. Rist_and Town ‘ Health Officer Charles D. Wolf also of Secretar of the Town School Committee, H. -T. Wilcox were accepted. The question of laying a tax for the ensuing year was the topic of much discussion and the vote was finally to lay this also on the tabe until the selectman’s re- port was put into such shape that the town could intelligently know what tax would be necessary' to meet expenses. A motion was presented that the citizens’ of the town imstruct the new board of selectmen to retain former Selectman Bromley's Town Counsel, Thomas M. Shields of 'Norwich, as counsel for the town upon the two lawsuits in which the town is involved until the cases are settled, met with considerable opposition by voters, who argued that it was the selectmen's privilege to hire their own counsel. The motion was lost finally when the chairman of the meeting, H. T. Will- cox, cast his vote with the negative side to break the tie. The meeting ad- journed until Saturday, October 17th, at the same hour, two o'clock, when the matters upon the table Wil be again taken up. FIRST REGIMENT CHAPLAIN.

Louis Cella, the su- preme court handed down an opinion on; Friday, written by Judge Roraback in favbr of the defendant, Cella, find- ing “no.error” in the declsion of the superior court, for this district. This action ‘was in the nature of an ejectment brought to the superior court in this county, and tried, orig- inally, by Judge Curtis and judgment Tendered for the defendant, Cella. The land and buildings in contro- versy lie in the village of Pawcatuck, in_Stonington. The plaintif alleged that the land in question was a part of its right of way which, had been condemned for raiiroad pufposes.

The supreme court has found for the. defendant upon the question of adverse uses and abandonment. This is the fourth time the case has been trled. There have been two trials in/ the superior court and two in the supreme court of errors. The superior court in the first trial found for the railroad com , but all oth- er decisions have beefl in favor ~of Cella.

BOATHOUSE LoMg—To Be Built at Once at Gales Ferry. Yale's rowing assoclation is to have new quarters at Gales Ferry, work in which will be commenced at once. The new - quarters were contemplated for last year, but for various reasons, chief among them being the fact that Yale had no victory on the river, was post- poned. The success this vyear made the plan seem easier of accomplish- ment and a fine clubhouse, far ahead of anything of the kind on the river, is to e erected, the contractors hav- ing until spring to complets it. ¥he building will be 60 feet long and will be bullt partly over the river, spiles for that purpose being driven.

This little volume is an- interesting criticism of Willlam Shakespeare and Walt Whitman and shows ‘the famil- iarity of the author with the works of ‘both.

Religion and Drink. By Rev. Dr. E. A. Wasson, Newark, N. J, Cioth, 301 pages. Published by the Burr Printing House,. New Yo Dr. Wasson ascribes the increasing sobriety of the present day to indus- trial changes rather than to the tem-| perance da. He cites gov- ernment to show that with the growing temperance in the use of drink there is at the same time, in this coun- try, an increasing per capita con- sumption; and he predicts that these tendencles, if continued, will result in everybody’s drinking and nobody’s get- ting drunk. He declares, too, that the government figures for divorce and for church mmebership in the old time prohibition states of Maine, Kansas and North Dakota indicate that prohi- bition is Injurious to family and church. The final pages aim to show that the religion of the Bible relies on charac- ter rather than coddling: and that its ideal is & moral sense so trained as freely to choose the good and rejest the bad, 1t should be noted that in this book the word “drink” means the.alcoholic Dbeverages spoken of in the Bible and gther alcoholio beverages no more haz- ous.
