THE RAILROAD STATION BURGLARIzED. Burglars visited the railr road station, one night last week and got away with the contents of the safe so far as the receipts for one days sale of tickets is concerned. They broke open the section tool house and secured heavy iron crow bar and a cold chisel such as is used for cutting rails. They then cut out circle of glass just above the fasten- | ing to the outside window, raised the sash of the station. They tried to pry open the telegraph window sash, but that was securely nailed and they gave that up and burst open the door to the ticket office. They then applied the bar and chisel to the outside of the safe and broke the iron away till they had free access to the bolts which were easily thrown back, and the contents of safe were at their disposal. It must have been long and noisy job and as they had light which they left burning, it seems strange no one heard the racket.

NEW RESIDENCES TO BE BUILT.

Plans and specifications have been drawn and estimates prepared on the two new houses to be built in Greens Farms next season. The larger and handsomer is for Edward B. Sturges of Scranton, Pa., who will build on lot he bought of Lewis B, Jennings. His house will be fitted with all modern Improvements and will be model summer residence. It will cost something like $l0,000. The house which Mrs Smith will have built on the lot bought of Charles Sooysmith will be somewhat smaller, but not less handsome, and will cost about $s,00O. It is probable that contracts for both will be let soon.-[ Weekly Record.

A TRUSTWORTHY CHARITY

The Daughters of the King netted $26 from their cake sale, held last week Fri day afternoon. The object was to pay the balance due on burial lot purchased at Oak Lawn for the benefit of indigent persons of Trinity parish. The occasion of the purchase of the lot was brought about by the death of young lady in the parish without friends. Through the efforts of Rev pr Guilbert and W. B. Meeker a lot was secured and the Daugh- ters of the King have generously taken up the good work. They have the lot all paid for with the exception of about $ll.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

1 For many years the firm of w. A. X A. M. White fur factory), have had the habit of giving their married employees l Thanksgiving turkey, very commend able thing: and last week they distribu- ted almost hundred fat turkeys to their workmen. As stroke of policy it is a good thing, as an act of Christian kind- ness it is better. It is understood that those poor fellows outside of married hap piness receive handsome Thanksgiving remembrance in greenbanks, in lieu of turkeys. The employees, many of them, have been with the company for years and receive good wages. Such acts of kindness help to maintain good feeling between employer and employe. If more common, probably we should hear of less strikes. Christianity is kindness. What hinders it from en tering into busi- ness relations? This is said to be their 46th annual distribution. There is much good feeling in discussing fat turkey, especially if the turkey is a friendly gift. Bosses, distribute the turkeys.

One paragraph announced that cards were out for the marriage of Randolph Brad ley to Miss Daisy Seeley. Mir Bradley announces that it is absolutely false.

THANKSGIVING LESSONS.

It was turkey day, last Thursday. Turkey was sold, turkey was rallied off, and turkey was given away. Many hundreds, perhaps thousands, to say nothing of the spring chickens, were sac rificed on the domestic altar within the inner temple of home, and the fragrant incense ascended from many rich man s table and hundreds of humble boards, and hours were devoted to making offer- ings to the stomach. In this physical service and qualification of the material appetite, many, possibly, forgot, or dis regarded, it's real significance as institu- ted by our grateful New England fore fathers. In all this, with family re- union and a gathering of friends, with a mingling of souls and an exchange of soulful sentiment, there is no wrong but whole volumes of happiness which does not come into the heart of average hu- manity every day. A day of happy for getfulness of care and worry coming into life once year is not too often. God did not make the human race for busi- ness only. Men made circumstances pre- vent full happiness from coming to the everyday heart-circumstances which had their beginning in the far past, possi- ply and have been growing to the present. Humanity is tied up in complicated cir cumstances. Life is what men make it ; and unskilled hands have been building from the beginning. God is good. It is only the work that He has left for mans doing that is imperfect. The strong and daring only can force circumstances, un- tie some of the knots, and make a good place for himself. Others again had a real Christian Thanksgiving and were grateful for Christian country, Christ ian freedom broad as our continent, broad as the world, it's provisions all embracing as the free air and cheery sunlight min- gled with prayer for it's continuance over all our broad acres, and continual broadening, ,liberalizing and refining until
 it shall fill the whole measure comtem- plated by the Great Teacher, who tore the cover from religious shams struck down caste, taught no narrow ''doctrine" and conditioned salvation on no mere
 belief packed into limited creed narrow ing the soul down and cro wding it's hopes and aspirations into thin nutshell of dogma. But threw wide open the gates
 of his kingdom for the world to enter, conditioned only on universal repentance and faith, with tenderness and love, and great brotherly kind ness, teaching the universal brotherhood of mankind;
 himself setting the great example of rec ognizing and caring for the sorrows of our common humanity. Such spirit of Thanksgiving cries, 'Away with shams; ; welcome Christianity that touches the great heart of the world.' The Christian pat riot thanked God for a free country. To the patriot watchman on the walls of our republic, who has jealous care for our beautiful temple of freedom, it was,
 while great thanks, a source of anxiety because of threatened danger from the
 germs of moral and civil disease creeping into our once healthly system. To the patriot seer whose vision runs through the coming years of the next century it was fearing, and a great cry to the God of nations to avert impending danger.

DIFFERING ABOUT PHYSICAL CULTURE. The Board of education seems to have divided itself into two parts, the one strenuously urging the adoption of the German system of physical culture, and the other the Lingg, or Swedish system, so called. Since last summer debate covering the entire field of gymnastics has occupied the attention of the mem- bers of the board. A number of candi- dates have been considered both men and women, for the position of instruc- tor, but as yet no one has been selected. At recent meeting of the board the committee on schools, Messrs P. w.. Wren, Joseph J. Rose, and Dr F. A. Rice, together with Mir Ginand, who has had considerable experience along the line of physical culture, were authorized to visit Boston and such other places as would enable them to judge of the com parative merits of the two systems, and thus furnish a basis for decision by the full board.

MISS HUBBELL WINS HER CASE.

The decision recently given in the case of Hubbell against Murray, awarding to the plaintiff $l750 for the injustice re- ceiyed by being knocked down by the now famous Greenfield Hill ram is a cause of much disappointment to Miss Hubbell's attorneys. Inquiry among some of the members of the bar who were more or less familiar with the his tory of the case, and the evidence brought forward, in the trial, have elici- ted the fact of gene ral expectation that large and heavy damages would be re- covered. The legal fraternity say that the reason for awarding small damages in personal injury cases is found in the fact that our Connecticut courts never have given damages at all compensatory state of affairs seems to be the outcome of the iniquitous system which permits the defendant to default the case, and take away the plaintiffs right of trial by jury. No other jurisdiction permits such unfair treatment as to deny the Ol@t pcISUu GO lCb HIS 1GllOW-tUCU pass judgement upon the question of fact whether or not injuries have been received, and if so, to what extent. Ger tainly, to the ordinary mind, it does seem as if the judgement of l2 unpredu- diced jurymen would be much more like ly to be right, than the judgement of the legal mind, surrounded as it must be by all sorts of legal complexities. Adjoin- ing states of New York and Massachus- etts give thousands of dollars in honest damage cases of this class, where our courts give hundreds. It has been sug- gested that if our legislators propose to change the Connecticut constitution, that they take into consideration the wisdom of all other states and nations in allowing differences that exist between contending parties to be settled by the judgement of 12 of their peers, instead of the unsatisfactory and anomalous practice which now prevails in Connec- ticut.
