Passaic youths, in which they accused

ST. Paul's Episcopal church in Pater~
son. and was highly esteemed there At
that time he was a bachelor and it was
his marriage which led to his leaving
Paterson. Mrs. Jane Brown, a widow,
seventy, fell in love with him. She was
worth 100000 and decided to him all her
property. He then married her. This
caused a great scandal, the brides rel

employed undue influence. Russell
finally decided the property back to his
wife, and they separated. At the re-
quest OF the vestrymen Russell re-
signed from the pastorate of st. Pauls.

both charges yesterday morning. Judg-
ment was suspended in each OF these

o'clock when the trio walked into the
central police station and Shea asked
the question: What do you want me
here for?" THE theft of Mrs Walker S

Fine Success of Captain homas' Water
bury Lecture Last Night


Waterbury, March 12-The ladies of
the First Congregational church of this
city scored a financial victory tonight
With the stereopticon balloon lecture,
Eighty Minutes in the Heavens" The
matter of money to carry along the
charitable work of the society has been
vexed question for some time, as
most of their undertakings have closed
with black Friday" DR.. Anderson,
the pastor, was unwilling the parish
should embark in any new venture
without a reasonable prospect of sue
cess, and this could only be secured
by presenting some attraction, the nov
city of which would appeal to all
classes. The entertainment committee
found this in the new illustrated balloon
lecture which Captain David Thomas of
your city has SO suddenly brought into
prominence. The vast audience tonight
was not confined to church people, but
was made UP of all classes and all de-
nominations. There were delegations
present from several of our local lodges
and councils Mr.. Thomas being a men,
Der of no less than thirty-two organiZa-
tions. DR.. Anderson is also prominent
in the higher order of Masonry. Indeed.
there were so many of Mr.. Thomas fra
ternal friends present that had it not
been for the ladies' the audience tonight
would have suggested a gathering of
the clan, to celebrate the return of some
victorious knight errant. OF the strange
lecture and startling stereopticon views
need occupy no space. 1t was an ev-
ening of breathless attention, with not a
word lost or a picture passed by.
Mr.. Thomas does not tire his audience
with unimportant details He seems
to know Just what interests the people
and goes from one mid-air adventure to
another with a rapidity that gives the
listener no time to weary. He has his
manuscript notes but much of the time
seems oblivious to them, evidently
speaking as his thoughts suggest at the
moment. At the close he was personal
ly introduced to many of the audience.

The Monroe Doctrine and the Venezuelan

7
Question the Topic for Tonight.
The discussion of the Monroe doctrine
and of the Venezuela controversy will
have much light thrown upon it by
the lecture which is to be given in the
Mechanics course this evening. Prof
Woolsey's subject is Mexico and
French Intervention, and though Mex
leo and Venezuela are very far apart,
the principles which have been fire.
quently invoked in connection with the
latter, can not be thoroughly under
stood without a knowledge of the con-
ditions which existed at the time Of the
French attempt to control the lestinies
of Mexico. Professor Woolsey's lecture
will, therefore, be especially timely.
