LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

INTERVENING EvENTs.-In ] Chron-
icles the removal Of the ark from the
house Of Abinadab is placed before
the two conflicts with the Philistines,
which are narrated in 2 Samuel 5 /: IT.
25. The bringing Of the ark from the
house OF Obed-edom follows these cam
paigns (see l Chron. IS and 15). 1t is
uncertain which is the correct order.
In any case, 2 Samuel 5 1916, is ap-
parently out of its historical position.
The two battles at Baal-perazim and
'Geba "a Sam. 5 : % ; or Gideon, /
lChron. IA 16) were both fought by
Divine direction. Both occurred in
the same region, west of Jerusalem,
near the borders of Benjamin and
Judah.
PLACES. = Kiriath-Jearim is called
Baale Judah in verse 2, and Baalah in
l Chronicles 10 6, where the first
name is also given. The ark was in the
house ofAbinadah, s.in the hill" rev.
verO within that city comp. l Sam. 7:
II, the site Of which has, since the days
Of Robinson, been generally accepted
as at the modern village of Kureet-el-
Enab, about ten miles west of Jerusa-
lem. Gender, however, would identity
s.Erma, "a ruin found during the west
ern survey, with Kiriathjearim. II is
about twelve miles west Of Jerusalem.
On the way to Jerusalem the threshing-
floor of Macon ("Chidon," / Chron.
ID /: 81 was passed. 1t was probably
not far from the city. The house Of
Obed-edom seems to have been aside"
from the main route, and quite neal to
Jerusalem. The ark was finally carried
into a ''tent' prepared for it in ''the
city Of David" Il Chron. Is ~, the
upper part of Jerusalem on Mount
Zion.
TnE.-The margin of our reference
Bibles gives B. g. 104S as the begin
ming of Davifs reign at Jerusalem, but
b. G. 1850 is q preferable date. How
long afterwards the ark was removed,
we cannot tell, since the two accounts
vary. The usual date (B. G. 1042) al
lows too long an interval. Probably
the second or third year of the reign at
Jerusalem was the time (B. G. 1047 or
1Qi5, according to the usual chron-
oiogy).
PERsoNs.-David and his army, Alb
inadab, Uzzah and Ahio, Obed-edom
the Gittite, Macon.
INCIDENTS. The gathering of the
host ct Jerusalem; the journey to Kir-
iath-Jearim; the placing of the ark on q
new cart driven by the SOM of Abin-
adab; the triumphal progress toward
Jerusalem; the attempt of Uzzah to
steady the ark at the threshlng-foor;
his death, and the d~ispleasure and fear
of David; the placing Of the ark in the
house Of Obed-edom; its final removal
into the city Of David.

HOW TO RAISE BOYS.
Bishop Vincent Gives Som. Sensible Ad.
 vice t, Parents.

6l8hOD Vincent Gives Some Sensible Ad-
 vice to Parents.
 Bishop J. H. Vincent, in a recent lecture at Philadelphia, made some very truthful and interesting statements. The boy he de- scribed was the one who failed to recognize the proprieties of life, who always spoke when it were better for hIm to keep quiet, the noisy, generous, mischief-loving, whist ling, everyday boy. Not the bad boy who was always hanged at twenty years of age, nor the good boy who always died at the age of ten.
 Making the boy baby as the starting point, the Bishop drew a picture of him as q pet, admired and caressed more than at any other portion of his life. After babyhood came the second stage, the period when, if any tralt in his character was noticeable, it was the fact that he was not girl; when he blossomed out in trou sers, into the pockets of which he thrust his chubby fists, and wore boots, and always wanted to De outdoors. At this period the boy Is ex- tremely honest. He always tells what he thinks, and worse than all, what his mother and sister think. The boy forgets nothing, and his memory at this date is simply won derful.
 Then there was hiatus of some four years, and the boy was introduced at the age of twelve years Life to him was one long April fool day. This boy could run farther, eat more and sleep longer than any thin created. At this period he had fewer friends and sympathizers than at any time of his life. In fact the only friend he now had was his mother, and no boy should ever forget this. The Bishop entrusted the life of girl of eleven years with that of a boy, and thought the girl had much the better of him. She was dressed neatly and was the pride of the family, while tho boy was al ways dirty and incorrigible. At this period of the boys life he formed far better esti- mate of his father than hls father did of him.
 he was sixteen. This glimpse of the boy is very brief, for he believes himself to be Q man. Now he washes in perfumed soap, oils his hair, takes great pride in his dress, especially his cravats, slaves and slaves with a fixed purpose-to raise beard.
 At this time he has opinions, and the questions of theology winch have bothered theologians forcenturies are decided by him off-handed. He knows every thing worth knowing; calls his father the "old man, and makes great pretenses of authority. But confidence III himself is unlimited. But at this period his love for his mother is shown in it's first manly light, and it is the most pleasing trait of his character. In closing the Bishop urges three things in the boys behalf. He would have the boy attend public service in church on every Sunday; he believed that all boys should be sent to public schools, and urged that the best teachers be selected for his tutors !; and last, the boy should feel the influences of home life. Then the home should be made pleasant, and he severely condemned the parlor from which the boy was excluded.

ST ANN'S PARISH.
\ Jealous Pastor Drawn Into the
 Public Prints.

Public Prints.
 In behalf of Rev Father Zones and the large majority of the congregation of St Ann's church, we have been asked to print the following statement in relation to an article in yesterdays Sunday paper concerning the affairs of the church:
 The article is both untrue and unjust. The French parish is in better financial condition to-day than ever before, and whatever little difficulty has arisen be- tween Father Zones and a few of his flock is of a purely private nature, but has been magnitied by a scandal-lOving paper under the guise of friendship first for Father Zones and alternately for his friends and enemies. The annual fair of the church will without a shadow of a doubt be as great a success as in former years.
 To say the fair will be the decisive bat tie between priest and people is ma licious. In thelinterest of harmony in St Ann's parish it would be better for all to keep their stories out of public print. The Sunday Herald cares neither for the French people nor St Ann's church"

THE STATE PRISON.
Warden Chamberlain Anxious For
 An Investigation 10 be Made.

Warden Chamberlain Anxious For
 An investigation to be Made.
 The demand for an investigation ef Warden Chamberlain's conduct of the state prison, and also of the charges which have been made against him by inmates of the institution, has become so general that the directors have been forced into action. This week they will take the matter under consideration and make thorough investigation Cf the matter Warden Chamberlain denies the charges in toto and requests an op- portunity to prove the fals1ty of them before the board of directors
 The fact that so many escapes have taken place under the present warden s management is believed to be due not so much to lack of discipline as to the fact that he has been accustomed to hire inexperienced and incompetent watch men, because he could secure their ser vices cheaper than those of efficient men. There are now several boys hardly out of their teens who are occup! ing positions which should be flied by faith full, courageous men.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Hughes pitched for the Brooklyns against the New Works Saturday and kept the champions down to two scat hered hits and no runs.
 The Waterburys are playing at New Haven this afternoon. Morgan, an am- ateur pitcher is being tried by the leaguers and will be signed if he does good work.
 A team of giants has been organized in Philadelphia, every member of the nine being over six feet in height. Fred A. Klobedanz of Waterbury. who is six feet four inches tall, will be the catcher of the Giants.
 The international six days go-as-you- please race at Pittsburg closed at 10:30 Saturday evening, Noremac winning with ease. The final score was: Nore- mac, 501 Hegelman, 4S7 Connors, 4S6 ; H HHoran, 47s; Golden, 475; Adams, 4a5 :; Taylor, 3S5: Turner, 359; Cartwright, 359 Dillon, 332.
 Jimmy Nelson wants to meet McLen- nan, otherwise Farmer Platt. in con test with skin tight gloves for stakes of from $500 to Sl,O00. McLennan says he is willing to make another match, but his packers refuse to countenance one where the conditions call for skin tight gloves.
 If the preparations now going on be- 1 tween Cleveland men and President Fuida of theCalifornia Athletic club turn out right, Reddy Gallagher and George LeBlanche will fight to a finish with small gloves, Quecnsbury rules, for a purse of S1 ,5O0, and under 15S pounds, in the California Athletic club rooms in June.
 Morrill,, the base ball player, whose release President Hewitt of the Wash ington base ball team secured from the Boston team, signed contract to play with the Washingtons Saturday, He will fill the position of captain and man. ager of the club and will probably play on third base when his services are re- quired.
 Jimmy Nelson, the light weight of this city, who lost in his recent fight !with Jack McLennan, near Waterbury has challenged the latter to another fight for $500, the meeting to come off within the next six weeks. Though Nelson lost the fight he is as bright and chipper to- day as ever in his life and bears no marks other than swelled hand, which he wore out hammering McLennan. The latter did not come off so well and is still confined to his bed at @ hotel near Waterbury in bad order. Before going 1 in for another encounter Nelson will put himself into condition and then there will be no doubt of the result ] New London Day.

THE TANPAY YERS WILL DECIDE

Report Of tho Finance Committee
 Upon the Waterbury Paving and
 Water Bonds:
 Representative O'Neill says that the finance committee will this week present their report upon the petitions from the city of Waterbury for permission to issue S200, ,000 additional water bonds and S100,000 paving bonds. The committee are of the opinion that the matter is one that should be decided by vote of the taxpayers of the city and will so report. The need of an additional water supply is acknowledged by everybody, but there are many opposed to increasing the city's bonded indebtedness for pay ing purposes, preferring to do the work on the pay as you go plan. The bonded indebtedness of the city at present is about $500, ,000.
