Affairs About Town.
HAPPENINGS AT THE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH.
THE HARVEST HOME SERVICE.

THE HARVEST HOME SERVICE.
| The Congregationalists were favored
with an ideal day for their annual har-
vest home service on Sunday, and large
audience was the result. Every seat in
the body of the house was taken, the
galleries also being called into use. The
church was very simply but tastefully
decorated with the fruits of the harvest.
The service was most harmonious and
beautiful one. Interesting letters from
the children who had raised the potatoes
were read by Miss Susie Scudder. There
were also recitations by Miss Mabel Tay-
lor, Miss Jessie Taylor, Harley Peck and
Paul Wolcott. The choir rendered an
appropriate opening anthem, and Miss
Fannie Scudder sang a solo. Rev Mr.
Barker's address was In the form Of an
illustrated sermon for children, which in
terested them deeply, and held the close
attention of the elders as well. A brief
address in opening was made by the su-
perintendent, A. P. Smith, who also pre-
sented to Master William l.. Macarthur

REV MIR JAMES SPEAKS ON TEMPERANCE.
The church was again filled to over
flowing in the evening when Rev J. FL.
James, secretary of the Connecticut Tenn
perance Union, gave his illustrated lec-
ture On the "Factors in the Drink Prob.
lem." Mr. James is very Interesting
speaker and closely held the attention of
his audience through the entire lecture.
The pictures thrown upon the canvass
added force to his words and must have
brought conviction to his hearers that al
cohol is dangerous plaything and alco-
holism the damnation of a very large
per cent of the ruined lives. Rev Mr.
James is doing a noble work for the
cause of temperance and is always heard
with pleasure by the people here, as was
attested by the exceeding fiattering au-
dience that greeted him Sunday evening.

The thirty girls confined there took adj
vantage of the presence of the representa-

windows, threw the contents of the pantry

shouts and then refused to go to their rooms
at the command of the police. 1t required
three wagon loads of policemen to quell the
riot, and it was found necessary to carry
the majority of the girls TO their rooms by
main strength, and to leave policeman
guard through the night at the door
of each room coupled by the girls.
The outbreak was the result of a meeting
held by the girls in the afternoon, When

sentiment for the alleged partiality. At the
supper table the girls were mouels of pro-
priety and listened to the. remarks of Mrs

was calculated to show them the wrong

TAMPA, Fla, March 2S.-The Plant

the rise of Castillo to the Ministry means

much injured themselves by this insurrec-

them home rule.
