ance building last evening and Judge L. E.

scholarly historical essay on the ''Life and
Times of John Huss, the Bohemian Re-
former" There was Q large attendance
present considering the season of the year
and all united In commencing Judge Mum
sons paper as one of the best that has ever
been read before the Historical society.
He traced the great reforner's life from
the time he was q studied until the time of
his death. John Huss was born In b.
hernia in 1878 and was educated as a
Catholic priest. bis tendencies, however,
were always toward reform. His mission
on earth seemed to be to create brother
erhood of mankind and to elevate the

was strongly in favor of liberal education
for the masses of the people. He was quite
a volumiEous writer, but q large number
of his books have been destroyed.
They were written in the old Bohemian
language, which the Emperor Sigismund
ordered to be no longer spoken and substi-
ted by the German language. He came
| fourteen years after Wiokliffe and Fifty
years before Martin Luther. He was con-
sidered one of the great hberators of relig-
| ious ideas and q great champion of relig-
ious freedom. And all nations have &C
| corded in rendering him homage. He died
as Catholic priest, but a reformer, in
1415, at the age of forty-six years.

They Will Probably Race.

Captain Fred Hardy of the Richard Peck
WAS seen by reporter of the JOURNAL
AND COURIER on Chapel street last even
ing and when asked what he had to say
regarding the report that had been re-
ceived in this city stating that President
Chaplin of the Now Haven Steamboat line
had offered to wager $4,000 that the
Richard Peck could beat the Puritan.
eaid that he had heard of such q wager,
but that the Fall River people, who own
the Puritan, had not as yet covered Mr..
Chapin's bet. When asked whether he
thought there was probability of race
between the Peck and Puritan, Captain
Hardy said he was certain that the two
boats would race inside of six months.
Also, that he would be willing to wager
all he had on the result. 'If we race we
shall use washed pea coal and all of our
six boilers. I only hope We shall have the
opportunity soon 90 as to decide once for
all which boat is the best" were the part

New Laws fer Old Ones.

Judge Cable Of New Haven found the old game
law sufficient to hold and convict a pool seller
under, and imposed fine Of 500 on the keeper
and $25 and costs on all the employees of the
place. That law, which has been a dead letter
for years, has considerable energy in it when its
violators are confronted with its provisions and
penalties.-Norwich Bulletin.
This illustrates truth which cannot be
too frequently stated and upon which leg
islative action should be more often predi-
Gated. 1t is impossible to cure an evil
which arises through the failure to enforce
existing laws, by the enactment Of new
laws which are also to become imperative.
We have many laws upon the statute books
of the state which are thought to be insult
ficient, only because they are not enforced,
and new laws covering the same ground
will meet the same fate and not mend mat
ters at all. We have no doubt that mod
erately active enforcement of the old law
against gambling would so have held in
check the evils complained of that there
would have been no call whatever for q
new law covering essentially the same
ground Bridgeport Standard.

every patriotic citizen rejoices.
Surely once a year is not
too often neither is one whole
day too long for recollections
and present realities which
play SO prominent a part in
our great national history,
The Blue and the Grey

graves, will revive past men,

from many eyes, but sighins
mother or grieving sister or
desolate widow will rise above
the twinge of sorrow rs love
OF country grows might

Memory ever true, accu-
ratcly registers the scene OF
that eventful day when
Father. Son, Brother, stout
hearted and brave, cut the
tender tie' of domestic
life, swallowed the bitter sor-
row of separation and set face
like a flint toward the front
of battle.
Scatter profusely earth S
choicest flowers upon every

fragrance ascend like sweet

Joy springs from the fact
that deeper than fond hopes
and cherished ambitions are
buried all strife and dissen-
sion.
For more than a quarter
century swords have beer
practically beaten into pillow
shares and spears into prun

BRIDGEPORT. May 29.-Secretary F. J.
Kingsbury, jr., said here to-day regarding
the affairs of the Aluminium Brass and

that has gone out is greatly exaggerated.
We expect to close down in week or 80
and wait for better developments. We
shall lieuidate and hope to start up again
in two or three months or 30. Thus, you
see, it is no failure, but business Is dull
and better circumstances are to be expect
ed. 1t may be, indeed, that there will be
such change that 1t will be possible to
continue with a diminished force. The
stringency of the money market is q seri-
GUS consideration. This is the whole thing
in q nutshell"
