 DAY SCHOOL.

Att the 9Hawleyville Gospel mission Christmas entertainment, last week, a 20 foot table was quickly loaded with a bountiful collation. provided by warm hearts and Willing hands, and children young and children ola gathered round and were filled to their utmost. After feeding about GO, there were three mar ket baskets full gathered up, which was judiciousfy distributed among some needy ones in the neighborhood. One very pleasant part of the exercises, and which should not be'overiooked, was the presenting the officers of the school with a very small bag of candy for their very efficient service, which will no doubt be preserved as memento of the occasion. The school will continue it's sessions right through the winter and we look for Gods continual blessing on it's future as it has in the past, for God has said ''Lo I am with you even unto the end" ."--*

MRS JANE AVERY SUMMERS.

After a lingering and painful illness, Mrs Jane Summers of this town died at the home of her daughter, Mrs l. B. Goodsell, in Palestine, at o'clock last Friday morning, December %. The i'm mediate cause of death was paralysis and fatty degeneration of the heart. She had been troubled with an affection of the heart for the last l5 years, which trouble led to a stroke of paralysis about eight months ago, that proved to be the begin ming of the end, for since then she was totally helpless, nearly or quite all the time, until death came. During the whole eight months she suffered infinitely more than any, save those immediately attend ant upon her, could realize. For several days prior to her death she breathed on- ly with the greatest difficulty, and, throughout her illness, she had frequent ly been troubled with difficulty in breath ing. But, unmurmuringly and with an indomitable courage, she bore it all with | a heroic resignation and patience truly remarkable. She was daughter of John and Betsy Avery of Easton, and here her childhood days were passed, in fact, all her life, until she married David Sum- mers of Gregory's Orchard district, in | this town. Mrs Summers has borne II | children, four of whom, George Charles, | Ella and Julia are dead, and seven sur vive her: John H. of HatterUown, An drew J. of Bridgeport, Mrs Phebe A Fairchild of New York City, Mrs l. B Goodsell of Palestine, Mrs William Wa terhouse of Bridgeport, Mrs George R Parmelee of Hattertown and Mrs Chaun cey c. Wakeman of Easton. She was [; good wife and patient mother and it cal truly be said that her children rise ul and call her blessed. Those most inti
 nately connected to her by ties of bloc,
 or of friendship were more fully awar ]. of her true worth and goodness than an.
 others could possibly be, as she was nat | urally of quiet and retiring disposition
 She lived peaceful, contented life, he |. whole existence, almost, being centere
 in and around her children. She ha
 been at MT Goodsel's since November II Previous to that time she had, since he
 husbands death, made her home wit a her daughter, Mrs George R. Parmele s- and J. H. Summers. The funeral SCI
 vices.were at 1.30 p. m., on Sunday las
 at Mir Goodsell's, Rev MT Barker of tt
 Congregational church, officiating. I'll
 interment was in the family plot in Hun
 ingtown cemetery. The pail bearer
 were John H. Summers, Andrew J. Sun
 mers, George R. Parmelee and Chaunce : c. Wakeman. The relatives have the sil
 cere and earnest sympathy of 8 large ci
 cle of friends and neighbors in this, the hour of affliction.

Mir Dayton is still very i'll.

Edward Minor left home, last week, to accept a situation offered him near Willimantic. He will retain his rent in Sandy Hook until spring, at which time he will decide whether he makes his new home a permanent one. It is great misfortune to the town that our good citizens are obliged to go away to find work elsewhere to support their families.

THE NEW RIFLES.
Picking Out Regiments to Equip With
Magazine Guns.

Mai. Gen. Schofield has at last decided
question which has been agitating the in
fantry arm of the military service for many
months past, namely, which of The regi-
ments shall be first equipped with the new
Krag -Jorgenson magazine rife. The hrst
installment of the weapons will be deliv-
cred to the second infantry, Col. hates,
commanding, now located at Omaha, Neb-,
and the second lot to the fourth infantry,
Col. Hall, commanding stationed at Fort
Sherman, Idaho. For months the national
armory at Springfield, Mass. has been
working on the rifles, and The parts Tor
nearly a thousand have been completed and
are now being assembled. The first issue
is expected to be made this month, and
after that the armory will be able to equip
two regiments monthly, thus retiring ali OF
the old Springfelds from army use in about
one year from the date of the first issue.
In view of the general demand fer the
new rifles it has puzzled the War Depart
ment officials to arrange a scheme or oiStrl-
button that would not subject them to the
charge of favoritism, particularly as 10 the
much coveted first issue. Finally IL was de-
cided that in view of the earnest labo-s Of
Coils. Bates and Hall of the board which
selected the new weapon the urst issues
might justly be made to their commands,
and Is between the two Col. Bates came IN
for first choice. 1t has been suggested that
the further issues be based upon the records
of the infantry regiments at target prac-
tice, but no positive decision has been
reached on this point. With the new rifles
Will go supply of smokeless powder and
ammunition. The substitution of this am
munition for the cartridges of the old
Springfield type will be accompanied by n
decrease in the amount of ammunition
issued TO each soldier. The reason is found
in the increased cost of the new cartridges
The law allows soldier five dollars
worth of ammunition for target practice
each year. The first cost Of the old cart
ridge was considerably less than the cost
OF the new cartridge, with its expensive
steel-clad bullet, and, in addition, IL will
not be possible for the soldiers to recharge
shells, which they formerly did at slight
expense. The ordnance officers however,
are constantly working at the problem Of
reducing the cost Of the new cartridge, and

I'm Behalf of the Armenfans.

Some time ago United States Minister
Terrell at Constantinople notified the De-
partment Of State of the intention of the
Turkish government 10 eXpel from their
country all Armenians who had renounced
Turkish allegiance by naturalization or
otherwise. Since then the department has
been in communication with the Turkish
government. through Minister Terrell en-
deavoriag 10 mitigate at least the hard
ships of this expulsion. The report coming
from Constantinople to the effect that a
special government commission is to be
sent TO Sivas in Turkey TO inquire into
abuses perpetrated on the Armenians Is
believed TO be an evidence that the United
States minister is taking steps TO collect
facts for presentation 10 the Ottoman gov

vERMONT's UNIQUE LIQUOR CASE.
ONeirs Long Sentence Reduced to
Two Months

The state supreme court met at the state
house at Montpelier, VT, yesterday. and
rendered decision in the case of the State
VS.. John O'Neil of Rutland The court de-
MED ONeil's petition for an arrest of iudg-
ment, and sentenced him TO a fine of ST. 100
and two months in the house Of correction.
This is the most peculiar case ever before
the Vermont courts. and It has been on
trial for twelve years in one form or anoth-
er. 1t has formed the basis for a popular
play.
O'Neil. liquor dealer in whitehall.N. Y.
sent liquor TO Rutland in jugs. He was ar
rested in 1852. convicted before Justice
Wayne Bailey in Rutland for 451 offenses.
and sentenced by Bailey to 2S.S36 DAYS. or
over seventy-nine years, in the house of
correction.
Defendant appealed to the county court.
when he pleaded guilty of 307 ofrenses, re-
ducing the penalty to about sixty wears
He appealed to the supreme court on the
ground OF excessive and unusual punish
ment but the decision of the lower court
was affirmed. The case was then taken TO the
United States Supreme Court on the plea
that the Vermont prohibitory law was nm
constitutional. That court decided that IL
had no Jurisdiction.
As last resort, IT was taken back TO the
state supreme court, on a motion to arrest
judgment, and this is the result

The police Of Washington have very
soou system or investigating distress, af-
fording quick relief and accounting for do
nations, under the direction of Mai Moore,
the superintendent, and Mr.. Richard Syl-
vesper, the chief clerk and property clerk of
the department. The Associated Charities
and other distributing agencies have exer-
clsed similar precaution. and as all names
OF beneficiaries have been collected and each
case has been kept in the hands of a single
agency, duplication Of charity has been
rare, while the city has suffered much less
than was anticipated from the nuisance of
unworthy seekers for relief. During the
month of January the relief orders given
were: Through the police. 1864: through
the Associated Charities, 1851; through 9TH
er agencies. about 100. Grand total, 9,3l5
orders.
The Committees.
The nature OF the main organization for
emergency relief work can best be indicated
by list of the principal offices of the tenn
porary relief associations, as follows, the
chairmen of the central and canvassing
committees being ex-officio members OF
various subcommittee:
Citizens meeting, December 10. Rev
Byron Sutherland, chairman; NJ. /. Weller
