L BIBLE STUDY CLASS HAS HELPFUL MEETING . The Bible study for men at the Y. M. C. A. last evening proved interest- ing and helpful. The topic was “Qual- ifications for Christian Work,” and several passages of scripture brought out the following facts: That first of all, it is necessary to know that we ourselves are saved before we ean at- tempt to win others to Chriet. It is al- 50 necessary tohave a real love for others before we can go very far in helping them into the Christian Ifl_e. Faith is an absolutely necessary quali- feation for a Christian worker, and the man who would be successful in the work of God must believe in and practice prayer. Boldness is an ele- ment that one must have,’ thata kind of bodiness that makes a man cour- ageous in his efforts. At the same tipe a man must be possessed of humili- ty and not to think of himself too highly. The final qualification and ons of the most important is consistent life; without this all that.a man may attempt to do in the line of Christian work will be_well nigh fruitless.

HITCHON The Glen Woolen Mills, at Norwich Town, were sold at auction Tuesday by G. I and H. J. Gross, professional auctioneers of Providence, R. I, to Walter G. Hitchon. the highest hidder. The property which was owned by the Hitchon Brothers and W. M. Eas wood had heen ordered top be sold at auction and bidding on the property began at 11.30 o'clock when the real estate;-which consisted of the mill and some fifteen tenements were sold to Mr. Hitchon for a sum said to be $26, 000. Following an hour for luncheon the bidding on the mill equipment was started and this also was bought | almost in its entirity by Mr. Hitehon. ! At the auction were several mill own- ers from out of town, but these men | did little bidding. 1 The property purchased by Mr. Hitchon is situated on the Yantic riv- er and on Pleasant and Sturtevant streets, Nerwich Town. The proper- &y invalved in the sale consisted of alt real estate, water rprivileges, plant, ‘and 2890 lots of piane mochon ery and equipment. Mr. Hitchon, the new purchaser was one of the former partners of the Glen Woolen Mills and will continub. 1o run the business as in the past. W. M.| Eastwood 'and Martin M.

Dr. Joseph H. Selden, | president, made a brief address, after which_the well known string quartette, Miss Isabel Mitchell, first violin, Miss Elizabeth Lane, second violin, Fred-| erick W. Lester, viola, Charles D.: Gallup, ‘celle, presented the following | programme of chamber - musie, of! which they are such admirable ex- pénents. Quartet in F, Opus 98 Antonin Dverak Allegro ma non troppo / vivace a non troppo Sonata—Violin and piano, Opus 23 Louis Vierne Allegro Risoluto Andante Sostenuto Largamente—Allegro Agitato Quartet in D, Opus 64, No. b 2 Joseph' Haydn Adagio Cantabile Menuetto _The programme, consisting of selec- tions by composers of three widely different schools, the Slavie. French, and that of the 13th century, when symphonies were in vogue, was most interesting. Dvorak, the great Bohemian com- poser, helieved that the negro sengs with their rhythm and minor chords s most valuable contri- n to the world of music, and so! cempositions are all based prim- arily on plantation melody themes, filtered, so to speak, threugh a Slavie mind. ' Thi exotic flavor, curiously mingled with +the ever re- curring, pathetic cadences acquired from the original negro airs, was rendered with' the utmost skill and dramatic effectiveness by the quartette every instrument ziving out its beau- tiful individual contribution’ to the general fascinating effect.

Should the CWoA Dbe of the old type without the cleaning door then ‘remove a few bricks, In deing this the hazard of having the soof carried to the ropfs and starting a fire will be prevented, This should be done every vear and in family tene- ment houses of from feur to more departments this should 'be done at lease twice a vear. Second — Be careful of ashes in wooden receptacies. - Owing to _the conditions at present and the inahility fo eoliect the ashes this hazard hes fer this ‘menth become ome of the most imporiant. -Persons have com- pletely filed all their ash cane end wopden recepticles aré now being brought into use more than ever. Tvery resident of the!ejty .and town as well as allof the business houses should use particylar care in this re- spect.. When wooden recepfacies are used the ashes should be stone cold. "This is of vast impgrianee. Third—The hazard of waste paper. Again present copditions have brought this hazard to a place in importance in the fire preveniion. Cellars are be- coming filled with waste paper. Ey- ery piece of paper placed in a eeflar should be watched carefully. Persons should not allow the paper to be loosgly on the floors. They sboyld all be either baled or placed in recepta- cles. Along with this comes the gan- gor of pemn‘lexvin‘ cellar windows slightly to ventilate. In doing with waste papers’ around the draft thereby caused mav blow the pa- pers to the furnace and cause, igni- tion from this cause. Chief Stanton then told ef how framen had each day since the big sterm held council, 18 map out the city streets that weuld be the best going i a fire broke out in any part of the oity. - The condition of the streets of the. eity made it mecessary to change the routes to be followed sometimes onge évery day. In speak- ing of the part the firemen are play- ing now: Chief Stanton =aid that for the past two weeks he .had only been to his heme for one meal a day and the remainder of the day and night wi spent at the Centra) station 1o be on hand if a. call was Yeceived. He stat- ed that if the people of Norwich must have fires he would gurely appereciate it it they picked ou the month of July in which to celebrate rather than the prasent month when conditions were 50 bad. He also felt that it schos! ehildren were taught fire prevention much of the danger of future fires would he stopped. Pergons by telephoning the location of the fire and by ringing in the nearest box to afire can greatly aid the depar’ment in preventing a serioys fire in this city. PYing the chair. Routine business was fransacted and was followed by re- ports of the various committees. The report from the committee in chprge of presenting a $1,000 bond te St. Mary's church was read and ae- cepted.
