sect of people called the Rogerine Quakers. Both these families thought that 1t was wrong to take life under any circumstances, and, for this reason, refused to take part in military train lngs, which were compulsory in those times.
 They could not be forced to learn the art of sssoldier;;" they preferred to lose property and suffer imprison- ment instead.
 They were bitterly persecuted for maintaining this doctrine so openly. john Rogers, their leader who owned a large property, was imprisoned for more than ten years, for this very cause, Tn New London and Hartford.

While i'll jail, an accident occurred that blackened the pages of the history of the so-caIled Puritan fathers. On the day of public execution. a gang of roughs, who had attended it, brought out John Rogers and tied him to can non. They give him sixty lashes on his bare back, and, with the blood flowing down his body, he was thrust into cell.
 There he was loaded with irons, and given nothing but bread and water to eat. The descendants of these men will participate in the dedication of the Peace temple. They will guard it with jealous care, that no sentiment i shall ever eInanate from there that will tolerate war or make it legal to take human life.
 The temple will stand looking down upon the Mystic river, scene so placid, so quiet, that it is almost impossible to believe that the war whoops of the In dian have eyer echoed on those hills, or the wall of the victim of persecution ever been discordant note in the har- mony of the music of natures chorus, and of the forests song birds.
 The dimensions of the temple are given in the accompanying picture The sides will be open, and the floor ing will be the rocks and hard soil of the grove, as experience proves that the speaking can be more distinctly heard than where there is a wooden floor
 
 There wilD be gradual rise from the platform back so that everyone can see as well as hear The roof will be arr ranged to give good ventilation. There will be room for five thousand persons in the audience.
 The platform will be large, and so ar ranged that the speaker will command a good position. The committee and retiring room will be large and con venient, and will have arrangements for rest. The beauty of the build ing will be, the architect claims, it's neatness and plainness; and it is so ar ranged that additions can be made ill size and in ornamentation, as necessity makes the former necessary, or means will make the latter possible.
 As the Peace society owns here about eleven acres of ground and the grove is most attractive for a home as well as for the temple, it is hoped here to have Chautauqua of Peace, whose advocates will build homes in its vicin- ity.
 It will be seen that, unlike imperial Rome, the thought and the principle are preeminent. No inlaid floors of exquisite marble over which the royal robes of the conqueror will trail, can be seen here; no walls with sculptured inches adorned with the busts of gladi- ators and their victims will be found in this Mystic Temple; but, in their place, will be taught, by those whose feet tread only on mother earth whilst they are speaking, the lesson that peace may be obtained by rightful exposi- tion, both in doctrine and in life, of the brotherhood of man and the father hood of God MARY FROST ORMsBY.

THE JOKE ON CONNOLLY.
How the California Mist Club Got
its Dinner.

The California Mist Club entertained
a number of friends at dinner in the
Hotel Washington last night. The din
ner was the result of a practical joke
played upon Contractor Michael T.. Con
molly and H. H. Niemann. About q
week ago Mr.. Connolly was presented
with a magnificent whip. He was tell
ing Mr.. A. j. Corcoran and w. H.
Quinn about it when Mr.. Quinn inter
rupted him and said that the whip was
not in it with the watch that had been
presented to Mr.. Cororan By his friends.
The party adjourned to the Hotel Wash
igton to inspect and admire Mr.. Cor
coran's watch. Mr.. Connolly quietly
asked why he had not been invited to
subscribe. He was told that he had
been put down for $40. He was satisfied
and paid the $50 over like a little man
mann. He subscribed $40 and in short
order a neat sum had been SUBSCRIBED
Mr.. Connolly and the other donatofa
were kept in ignorance until last nighf,
They believed hat the watch had really
been presented to Mr.. Coreoran until ne
explained la he had bought and pale
scribed, presumably for the watch, was
being spent In paying for the dinner they
had enjoyed. Messrs. Connolly and Me
mann were nicely taken in. Mr.. Con.
molly saw the Joke was all on him and
he proceeded to drown his sorrow.
The dinner was an excellent one. Th9
gentlemen present had been Designate
as Indians and at the conclusion of the
dinner a speech was demanded from each
