The Hamden Law and order
League.
Tothe Editor OF the JOURNAL AND counIrR:
Had my learned, honest and sincere
friend Greely stopped to think. he would
not have asked: Where Ia the HAmden
lesgusi For he viii remember that the
league was formed for q certain definite
purpose, and for that only. 1t was task
enough to awaken the public conscience of
the town with reference to the dens of
vice that made the town 90 by-word and
reproach" without trying to solve other
ethical problems. As he well knows, We
had to canvass the town, hold public and
private meetings. and wait for . new cleo
ton of grand Jurors In order 10 get man
who would act and not take $25 per month
to leave Q certain house alone.
This last paragraph is based on o state
nent to me from the Raymond woman
that that was the amount she paid . GER
tain grand juror per month to leave her
unmolested. Another thing she said
when quoted TO her the statistics of the
ahortness Of life of these unfcrtunates.
She replied that that was long enough.
This was merely an expression of her
views of the business, which she did not
in any way defend. In her way she was
kind to the boarders, as she called them, at
her house.
What We set ont to do We accomplished
because we did not attempt too much.
We did not expect to kill the Devil; only
to saw off his horns.

SUNDAY BREAKFASTS.
Tho congregation of the Third Presbyte-
rian church of Pittsburg IL said to be made
up from the weslthiest and most aristocratic
families of that city. It has recently inati-
tuted scheme of practical bsnevolenoe,
designed by ono of the prominent women
of the church, which is simple, democratic
and kindly, and so oonmsnds itself to all
ether church organizations.
SUNDAY morning breakfasts to needy
mon" have been served for the past two
months. Committees of women are ap-
pointed to prepare them, and tickets to the
number of 100 are distributed through cor
tain charitable societies. At Q O'Clock all
who present themselves In the church par
lors are served without stint to bread and
meat In the form of well-msde and sppetiz-
ing sandwiches. hard boiled eggs, and hot,
strong, fragrant coffee. Each man is pro-
vided with large, new handkerchief, which

The tickets, which are collected at the
door, are returned to the breakfastsfs q

NOT THE BEST SITE.

NOT THE BEST SITE.
Considering the principles on which
the selection of . cite for the Henry G..
Lewis memorial was based It looks to us q
it the selectcrs didn't pick out the best
spot after all. For instance, there ia the
spot where Church strest crosses Chapel,
where three or four street railroads CEN
ter, and where, from early in the
morning until late at night the population
is dense and active. A broad pedestal
placed right in the middle of the road
there and surmounted by heroic bust
would attract great deal of attention.
The site would be very appropriate
one, for Mr.. Lewis was greatly inter-
ested in our streets and street rail-
roads and did much to get cur streets
properly paved and to encourage the street
railroad companies. What more fitting,
then, that where the street paving is tho
most used and where the street railroads
are most In evidence the memorial should
be erecteda If not there, an equally ap-
propriate site would be ct the Intersection
VI otoS0 0A0 SAoP0A SsA0osos 49, AASAs43SA
of these sites was thought of why were
all of the entrances to the Union depot
overlooked They are busy places and
there is just about room enough for
broad pedestal there with heroic bust on
it. And how appropriate such site would
be. Mr.. Lewis WAS greatly interested in
the little Derby, and 1t would be very ft-
ting that all who travel by 1t or by any of
it's recent connections should have their
attention called in this way to the faith
and works of one of Its most earnest sup.
porters.
Logic and taste are so conspicuous In
the selection that has been made that it is
a pity that they couldn't have been carried
a little further, a. above indicated. But
we suppose, as In every movement In be-
half of proper public sentiment and q
proper public ornamentation, the solicitors
were hsmpered by the general average of
stupidity and the general lack of taste.

The Ten Comma RdmCnts Of Charity.

Thou shalt have no other motive in
giving before the good of the poor.
Thou shalt not give to the beggar
because he is beggar, for the iniqui-
ty of such gift may be visited unto
the third and fourth generations of
him who receives it.
Thou shalt not take the name of
charity in vain.
Thou shalt not tempt son or daugh.
ter to thrust father or mother OF
brother or sister upon the poor-rate.
Remember the spirit of charity t.
keep it holy.
Thou shalt not kill the soul of man
by feeding his stomach.
Thou shalt not let mother bury
their shame in an orphan asylum moi
fathers hide their greed.
Thou shalt not rob the poor to feed
the paupcr.
Thou shalt not covet the name OF
philanthropist for thine own glory.
Thou shalt not let thy giving bear
false witness to Its motive.
II these or like commandments
were taught by the churches to-day
and were learned by all private as
we'll as corporate and church givers,
we should be able to dispense with the
historic poor law, the mother of all
poor laws, and to substitute for the
harmful private charity Of the past
an organized discriminating charity
with the spirit which belongs to the
old Greek word from which 1t Is de-
rived and which belongs also to that
word Of Anglo-Saxon origin which
has been substituted for 1t In the Re-
vised Version OF the New Testament,

Modern Essentials.

Physical culture, Delsarte exercise
and ballet steps are now combined
with the ordinary dancing lessons in
private classes, and quite as much at
tenton is paid to the movements Of
the body and arms as to the lower ex-
trcmities.
1t Is, of course, Il great improve
ment on the old fashion of simply
teaching dancing steps and rhythmic
motion. Prcmiercs danseuses from
the corps de ballet are frequently en-
ployed to teach the graceful art of
high kicking to the children of socie-
ty, for the modern maiden must lie
light on her feet, sound in her body
and cultivated in her mind.
A young girl who is being formed
according to the up-to-date standards
Of physical culture has her gymnas
ium lessons from a professional ath
lctc: riding lessons at the haute ecolt
and the dancing lessons from Il fam
Gus cidevant danseuse.
When it is taken into considera
tion that mental and moral cultur,
and the acct mplishments are as care
fully attended to, it will be seen thai
the typical girl of the period ha.
about all the training she can stant
up to. For all that it is said that th,
general health of the average younl
woman of to-day is away ahead o

A splendid Free offer.

They are thousands of people, who,
while not exactly sick. are out of order or
ailing in some way. They don't feel well
and can't understand what the trouble
is You can learn exactly what ails you,
without it's costing anything, by writing a
letter to the noted and successful special
ist, DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple place, Boston
Mass, and telling him just how you
feel. He will answer it, explaining
every symptom in your case and telling
just what to do to get well. He gives
most careful attention to every letter,
and makes his explanations SO clear that
you understand exactly what the m after
is, and how to cure it. And all this
costs you nothing.
He makes q speciality of treating
patients through letter correspondence,
and this method has proved wonderfully
successful. His vast experience enables
him to understand from reading the
symptoms, the exact nature OF your COM
plant. He is the discoyerer of that
wonderful preparation, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, the
best nerve medicine in the world. People
living at a distance from the city will
at once see the great advantage of this
