 The Selectmen After Investigation
 Have Decided to Demand a Public
 Retraction From Ills Accusers.
 SoUTHINaToN. Conn.,, May 17.-An in- vestigation of the sensational charges of cruelty made against Keeper Hancock of the town farm here proves that all of the complaints are unreliable and without foundation. The story told by inmate Connoly that Hancock inflicted terrible beating on an old man named Barry is found to be wholly false and fictitious. Connolly it is alleged has a grievance agsinst Hancock because he refused to all low 6 servant girl to read to him in his room. Connolly Is totally blind, his eye sight having been destroyed by vitrol, thrown by young woman with whom he kept company. His reputation is not good and Keeper Hancock ordered the servant not to enter his room. The other com plaints are made by inmates who are un- sound mentally and are of no value what ever Those at the farm who are compe-
 tent to give evidence say that they have seen no abuses by Hancock or his wife. The selectmsn have been Investigating the matter, and 1t is understood that Select man Plumb will demanded a public re- traction of the charges made by Miss Eliz- abeth Clark, who Is responsible for the scandal. The affair has created great sensation, but it is the general opinion that Hancock has not abused his author itv

The Alum nj Meeting.

AC A1uH V1cet1uEs AN INTERESTING DIsCUssIoN-PARTIcIPA ED IN BY PRONOUNCED DIvINEs. At 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon the an- nual meeting of the alumni was held in Marquand chapel. The pulpit was prettily
 decorated with palms and potted plants
 and large number of clergymen from this and neighboring cities and towns were present.
 Professor Day, the dean of the faculty, opened the meeting with the annual report in which he announced that the prize scholarship man was Warren Joseph Moul- ton of the graduating class. This scholar ship yields $500 year and is awarded for two years for study at Yale or abroad. Mir. Moulton has made su envisble reputation for scholarship while at the divinity school and was one of the most popular men in
 his class.
 Rev. Dr. Fisher of the Divinity school acted as the presiding officer of the meeting: The subject under discus sion was "The Evangelical Element in Gospel Preaching and Work" Rev. Dr. Harris of the Divinity school was follows: The salvation of all those who are outside of the church is the aim and the goal toward which the minister Of Christ should press. Whether this is to be accomplished by series of continuous conversions or by revivals is the question for discussion-whether 1t shall be by the minister's own efforts or whether evangel- ists shall be called in. During the latter part of the last century there were 8 great many revivals of religion. And the peri ods from 1812 20, from '20'30 and 80 to AS were also conspicuous for their relig ious revivals. There was in those feel ing, an aiming at the divine side of human life.
 People then thought feeling was necss- sary to salvation And it was quite com mon to keep diaries in which the 'tfeel- ings" which man had experienced during the day were jotted down. I remember kept one myself until I found that 1t was killing all true feeling. For whenever I had a particularly emotional feeling would think, "Why this indeed Is nice feeling; I will just ot it down." Iremem- Der when yet boy I was examined for ad- mission to the church. One of the old deacons asked me, "Are you willing to be damned, if it is for the glory. of God'" I immediately answered, "Yes."
 Twenty years ago people were afraid there was going to be 8 revolution. They were afraid religion was going to be driven out of the world. That fear no longer exists. tell yeu religion Is in the heart of man, and 1t cannot be driven out. And 1t seems to me that in this respect we have gained. Faith in God is the one great thing.
 But want to also speak few words on the necessity of saving the vast masses of ] the unsaved. The immigration to our shores of 50 many people of every nation, ]
