Are We Retr"gradins2

1t seems hat the people of the present
day are of the opinion that it is almost
impossible TO mske money out of any
branch of business, that in the days oil
our forefathers there was far greater
amount Of Remuneration in the various
pursuits Of life than now-in fact that
we are living in an age when the bottom
has dropped on: nj everything. With
the exception Of few who have been
fortunate enough to have inherited
wealth or by an exceptionally good bus
mess venture have amasscr a fortune,
no one is growing richer and many are
growing poorer-th these sentiments arc
heard on all occasi1ns-thesc pc'simistic
ideas are inculcated in the minds Of our
young people. When a young man
launches upon the sea Of business lie Is
welcomed in the business circles by the
comforting exclamation! "Tou are going
10 fail" There is nothing to be made
out of your branch Of business or your
profession and you have come here to
starve, better take your baggage and go
further" Is this opinion which pervadcs
to such an extent well founded? If So,
whence comes the increase of wealth for
tie pust number Of years? The coun-
try " richer to-day than it was ten
years ago or one year ago. FOrsooth
some branches of industry have not been
50 remunerativc as formerly. Farmers
could not make money when the crops
have been small md prices reduced, but in
the aggregate the country has improved
financially. The families of farmers dress
better and enjoy far more Injuries than
they did forty years ago, their sons and
daughter, are better clad, better nour-
ished, better educated, and better fitted

SUNDAY MORNING BURGLARY.

Two Men Break Into HI. w. Lessey's
 Grocery StOre-whfle Trying to Es-
 cape one of Them is Shot in the
 Heel by Ohicer Rfce and Placed ! Under Arrest-The other Escapes
 Hut is subsequently Apprehended.
 About o'clock yesterday morning burg lars effected an entrance into the grocery store of Hendrick W. Lessey, at 150 Green wood street, by breaking the glass in side window, and succeeded in making quite haul upon his stock of provisions. About 3:30 o'clock, as Officer Rice was patrolling his beat, he saw two men in front of Lessey' s store engaged in removing l lot of provisions. He at once started toward the place, but the men on seeing
 him approach immediately started to run 1 away. The officer called to them to stop,
 but they paid no attention to him and kept on running. He then drew his re- ! volver and fired several shots after them,
 one of which took effect in the heel of one ! of the burglars, causing him to drop. The | other, however, kept on running and man aged to escape.
 Officer Rice at once placed the wounded l man under arrest, and summoning the pa CrOl wagon naQ nlm removed to pOIlco
 headquarters where he gave his name as 1 Thomas E. Hovey. Dr. Lindsley was I called and extracted the ball from Havey's | heel. after which he was locked up.
 The following articles, which had been removed from the store, and were found by the officer on the pavements, were also brought to headquarters. Three hams, two | shoulders of bacon, about fifteen pounds of cheese, a lot of candy and cough drops, 1 several cans of peaches, several loaves of of bread, four pies, loaf of cocoanut l cake, three dozen lemons, two dozen eggs, 1 two saws, large butcher knife, one cleav- CT and several other articles.
 l Later in the day Sergeants Cowles and Reilly arrested Edward Cowles, who is | said to be the other person implicated in the crime. It is said that Havey, after be- ing arrested, gave the authorities the name
 of his companion, and this information led 1 to his arrest.
 Both men were under the influence of liquor at the time they committed the
 deed, and when asked what prompted them
 to do it could give no good reason as they
 said they could neither use nor sell the ! articles stolen.

 The funeral of Rev. s. W. Barnum was largely attended on Saturday forenoon from his late residence on Humphrey street. Rev. Dr. Phillips of the Church of the Redeemer, of which the deceased was valued member, delivered eu1ogis- tic funeral address and gave an interesting sketch of the chief features of the life work of the deceased, as hitherto given. He paid fitting tribute to the deceased as Photographer and scholar and made fitting reference to literary and scholarly labors of deceased, which will long remain as proofs of his ability as g writer. The devout Christian life of the deceased was referred to and his spirit of devotion and self sacrifice, his self-abnega- tion and Christian humility.
 The deceased was highly esteemed by the clergymen of the city, many of whom were present at the funeral
 Judge Birdseye of New York, an inti- mate friend and classmate of the departed, honored the memory of the deceased in a suitable address.

THE MARTYR ST. STEPHEN. Theory of Inspiratton-Lifea a Con
 test.

test.
 Rev. Dr. Gordon of Boston preached last evening an instructive and effective sermon to large audience in the United church on St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr. The lecturer was attentively listened to throughout, and among other things said: The historical inaccuracies in the speech of Stephen have been the foundation for many scof6ng remarks on the part of scoffers. Whether these mistakes are due to St. Ste- phen's lack of preparation or to the care lessness of the reporter, it shows the falli- ble human element in the Bible. Revela- tion and inspiration lie in the idea. The value of Stephens speech is that he taught that the Christian religion was universal religion. The name Stephen means a crown Theerown gained after an athletic contest is symbolic of the fact that life is a contest and immortality a crown. Let it be a reminder to us of our eternal recon pense.
 Dr. Gordon's address was full of inspir- ing thought and throughout was a very able exposition of the lesson of the hour. His morning discourse was heard with deep interest and satisfaction by the large congregation which had gathered to hear this prominent and eloquent Boston di- vine.

THE HORSE SHOW

Closed on Saturday After a Successful
 week-A Connecticut Horse wins n
 Big Prize.
 The seventh annual horse show closed on Saturday night at Madison Square Gar den in New York city. It was certainly the best show of the kind ever held in this or any other country, and was attended daily by about 1t, ,000 persons, with an in crease attendance on the closing day of the exhibition.
 A majority of the tickets sold at prices ranging from $1 to $6, while many tickets sold at higher prices. The private boxes, with six seats each, sold at several hun dred dollars for the six days.
 There was the usual interest in the award of the herd prize of $500 for best trotting stallion with four of his get which will come to Connecticut, as it was won by Quartermaster, 2:211, owned by Bundle & White of Danbury. Quarter | master vanquished Mambrino King in thii contest. The latter is the sire of Prince Regent, 2:16a, the $50,0 ,000 trotting stallion whose death was recorded last winter. and the sire of Nightingale, 2:184. These twe horses won the first prize, $5, ,000, at Hart ford, in 1890 and 1891 respectively. | Quartermaster's victory in this class was one of which his owners have gooc reason to be proud, as there are few horses that can stand any but an unfavor able comparison with Mambrino King, one 1 of whose colts was Heir-at-law, full brother to Prince Regent.
