Last Sunday,s Services.

An air Of expectancy pervaded the congrega-
ton on Sunday as Rev. Mrs Norton rose TO speak
the subject being reform movement. Ia the OBJ
srrNance OF temperance day, according to the
plans Of the London sunday school union, Mrs
Norton was invited by the pastor TO give an ad-
dress From the text And as he reasoned of
righteousness temperance al d Judgment to come"
eic. There We're first such definitions Of right
eousness and temperance as put the audience in
harmony with the thought that a temperate life
should be the natural equence OF such righteous
life as was portrayed. Any suppOstion that
vague generaiities or moral platItudes would fol-
low from any part Of the text was dissipated by
straightforward utterance on the subject Of pro
motion. not from a political standpoint, but from
a settled principle to its being the strongest
ground on which TO fight the liquor traffic. Much
OF work for temperance lkened by the
speaker TO the course of an eagle. which is round
and round, seemingly without effect till an up
ward flight is taken While Mrs Norton was fear
less IN outspoken sentiments she used altogether
reasonable speech that appealed 10 good sense,
ana she maintained the Importance Of working in
the spirit OF love for mankind. In the hour OF the
evening temperance concert Mary Miller Florence
Batchelder, Grace Hammond and Willie Harvey
read and recited selections, and, besides several
numbers from the choir solo was sung by Chas.
Hescock. Pastor Norton sang The feast Of Bel

ance.

Mrs. Temples Lecture.

The lecture Of Mrs Temple wife OF the Baptist
pastor at Brattleboro, interested her audience
here Wednesday evening as she reasoned Of
Righteousness and judgment 20 come on the sub.
ject of moral awakenings. The prelude to her
lecture was an ingenious and welexpressed com
parison from natures works in favor of moral
agitation. AS in natural events trills and surges
are effective so concerted agitation by mankind
for mankind is needed. The anti Tan many up
heaval, the vicious influence of sweat shops and
some other evils in cities were considered as were
also the results Of reform unions in great cities.
The subject was a serious one and the speaker
confessed to narrowing details, but with spirit
Of earnestness plead for thought upon these
thetic, there was not too much of the sombre side
Of the story for profit. Coming upon the eve
before thanksgiving 1t was timely for suggesting
moral agitations Of the past year when in %
states there have been special moral agitatons
before legislatures.

be scrupulously adhered to. Under the
present law the maximum penalty which
may be inflicted for crime such as these
boys have pleaded guilty of is imprison-
ment in state prison for 20 years. Now
then, after full knowledge of the facts of
the case, this question presents itself: How
much less than the maximum sentence
should be imposed, or, where there any ex-
tenuating circumstances? The sentences
themselves answer that question. Our
criminal laws seek not revenge, but for the
suppression of crime, otherwise the pun
ishment Of these boys would have been of
an entirely different nature. Again, since
removal from the midst of society is the
most commendable form of punishment,
the alarming amount of crime in this county
would seem to demand that convicted
criminals be incarcerated for long periods
lest their example to Others fall short of its
intended effect. tits, indeed, gratifying to
note that the judgments of the Judge Of
our own Windham county court, unlike
what is often the case, are not replete with
manifestations of Observation-Disclosures.

THE FIsTlcUFF FIZZLE.

Corbett and Fitzsimm0ns never intend
ed to fight. It was nicely arranged
plan to advertise themselves and gull the
people. The information came from
Louisville some days before the date
fixed for the fight that Mcdonald, the
league umpire, who was a great friend
Of Corbett's, gave it out quietly to a few
friends that the whole business was a
hoax, a hippodrome from beginning to
end. Long before that time he said the
fight would never come off, but that
should it happen to take place 1t would be
the biggest farce possible because in the
event of the men getting together Cor
bett was to be the winner. Brady was to
put up the money guaranteeing Fitz's S
presence In the ring and continued to add
to his stake money from time to time
to keep up appearances and make it ap-
pear that everything was in earnest. All
the bluffs that were published had been
arranged beforehand. Even the meet
ing between Corbett and Fitz in the Phil
adelphia saloon was previously planned
and the nose-pulling didn't amount to
any more than if it had occurred on the
stage. Everything was fully carried out
as previously agreed upon, even to the
minutest detail Both agreed that the
fight should be prevented if possible, but
should they be crowded by public clamor
that they must enter the ring they would
do so and the fight would have been a
sham and Corbett would have come off
the victor and Fitz would not have been
injured. Every man connected with the
supposed fight was into the scheme for
the purpose of being freely advertised,
and then all were to go upon the road i1t
the show business and rake in the, dol
lars in that way without being pounded
in the ring.
All this being true the authorities were
led astray in the most abject manner in
trying to keep men apart that had
already determined not to- face each
other
However, when the humbugging
scheme Of play will be presented to the
public: they will drop into the trap once
more with as much ease as they did be-
fore. Barnnm was right when he said
the American people liked to be hum
buggel.
