FLAG LAW is VOID.
Indictment in Illinois Quashed
AGAINST Gov. AlteeId.

Champaign, Ill, July Pin the circuit
court here Judge Wright has decided
that the state law requiring the nation
al flag to be displayed over every
school house in the state during school
hours was unconstitutional and void.
In doing so he quashed the indict-
ments which were recently returned by
the grand jury against Governor Alt
geld, the trustees of the University Of
Illinois here and the officials of the
city schools for violation of the law.
The prosecuting attorney made a mo-
ton too late for a change of venue. The
court severely criticised the states at
torney for permitting the indictments
to be returned by the grand jury.

IN VEST HAVEN List NIGHT.

The thirteenth anniversary of the
West Haven Congregational Christian
Endeavor society, which was held in
the parlors of the church last evening,
will be an occasion long to be remem-
bered by the large number of Endeav-
orers and their friends who were pres
ent. The parlors were tastefully dec
GRATED with Washington '96 flags, and
the pledge, handsomely engrossed, was
given prominent position on the wall,
AT each side of the pledge were the &c.
E. monograms, and over the mono
grams were the dates 1SS3-1896.
At s o'clock the parlors were filled to
overflowing and the first number on
the program was announced-a "selec-
ton by the Harmony circle, a musical
chorus consisting mainly of young peo-
pie from the western part of the city.
Miss Marjory Smith recited piece en-
titled "The Dead Pussy Cat" which
was well received. Miss Murphy fa-
vored the audience with a solo and was
recalled, as was also Miss Fowler, who
gave a reading entitled Watching the
Sparkling"
Probably the announcement that Rev.
w. G. Fennell of Meriden, president of
the State Christian Endeavor union,
was to be present and would make a
short address proved a. very strong in
centive in drawing so many from this
city to West Haven last evening.
Mr.. Fennell congratulated the society
on attaining it's thirteenth birthday and
said that in this case thirteen was
not an unlucky number.
Mr. Fennell choose for his subject
what Does Christian Endeavor Stand
for?" and in the course of his remarks
said that Christian Endeavor stood for
aggression, practical Christianity,
openness, frankness, united Christi
anity and last and most important of
all-spiritual Christianity.
At the close of the address many en-
braced the opportunity to shake hands
with the speaker. Refreshments We're
served during the evening and the re-
mainder of the time was spent in a So
cial way.
Among the prominent Endeavorers
noticed in the audience were ex-Presi-
dent Walter r. Downs and wife and
ex-President F. Bostwick and wife of
the New Haven Christian Endeavor
union; Miss Kate 1. Donovan, ex-sec-

annual festival of the Hampden Coun-

tonight with an excellent performance
of Max Bruch's "Arminius," with Max

Barron Berthald. Mr.. Berthald took
the part of "Seigmund'' to supply the
place of H. Evans Williams, who is ill

fine work, and the audience was the
most enthusiastic of the entire festi-

Nations for the researches he is to make

#hhe British blue book nearly all the al
Illusions to Dutch records are given III
Vgeneral way without precise reference
|#to the volume or archives, where they
Eban be found and verified or ampllf1ed.
EAs the blue book also fails to give cop
Eies of important documents that IN all
Likelihood are extant as they are re-
Ekerred to by many historical writers,
kfhe commission has deemed 1t advlsaple
Eto have Professor Burr make an eX-
Exhaustive examination of all the evil
Ehence upon which many blue book ar
Eguments rest.
Hi Professor Burr's studies with the
Eeommission have developed number
Ebf statements by both English and

E8nal records, and an attempt will be
R3made to settle beyond doubt many
and inconsistencies or to
Mind explanations for them. In sending
3Ahis expert abroad the Venezuelan
S3Rommission gives notice that it does not
Hbropose to base it's findings of fact in
#lhe dispute upon any authorities, how
Eever eminent, but to go back to the
Ebource from which those authorities de-
Efiyed their information or claimed to
Ehaye done so and ascertain with cer-
E4ainty the real facts.
E Professor J. Franklin Jameson OF

gDlete condition and the suppression OF

asuch unfavorable comment. Soon at
&ser this appears an expert, similar to

The original documents from Venez-

E|east, to prove Venezuela's claim, are
&still in process of translation and may
hot be presented to the commission for
several weeks.

Congressman Barrett Introduces a Reso-
luton in the House.
Washington, May s.-Mr. W. e. Bar
rett of Massachusetts to-day intro
duced in the house a resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution
providing that congress shall have
power to limit the time during which
manufacturing establishments of tex
tile fabrics and in other industries.
Mr. Barrett explains that this amend
ment is in response to a strong feeling
in New England and which has al
ready found expression in the Massa-
chusetts legislature that congress
should have the power to make uni
form hours of labor throughout the
United States. He says that the tex
tile manufacturers of New England
are especially feeling the competition
from the south, where labor is en-
ployed anywhere from sixty to seven
ty-two hours a week; while in Massa-
chusetts only fifty-eight hours a week
are allowed England has a uniform
law, operative throughout Great Brit
ain and Mr.. Barrett says northern man
ufacturers contend that unless some
such step is had they will be obliged
to lower wages, increase the hours of
labor, or see their southern competi-
tors absorb their business.

ELECTRICITY vs.. steam.

Colonel N. HI. Heft, chief electrical
engineer of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, said this week:
'Our company has perhaps more
short lines upon which electricity can
be used than any other railroad in the
country. We have proven by the oper-
alton of the Nantasket Beach line that
electricity is economical. 1 look to a
rapid substitution of the current for
steam.''
