1t Rings No Longer and the Town Is Sad
There is trouble in our grandmother
town, Pennington, and unless some
thing is done soon people will be out
too late at night and they may even
partake of their midday meal at the
wrong hour, The church bell that has
tolled at noon and again at o'clock
at night for many, many years is now
as silent as the grave, and all on ac-
count Of the townspeople refusing to
appropriate 500 for the bell man,
For forty years Sid Hart rang the
bell When he died Sam Thomas took
charge, and the bell was rung twice a
day with its accustomed regularity,
About two years ago Sam died and
Chauncey Griswold took the job. He
has been pulling the rope from that
time up to March /. Then the appro-
priation gave out. Chauncey gave up
the contract, and the town has lost its
bearings. Several of the old residents
have been in the habit of dropping in
to see their neighbors after dark, and
when the bell tolled at o'clock the WIS.,
itors knew when to so. Now they are
out late, and they offer as an excuse
for their hardness the statement that
they didn't know what time it was,
The bell was raised by popular sub
scription, but now the old subscribers
refuse to pay any longer.
There is some talk of forming COM
mittee to ring the bell continuously I'M

NEW ATIT LETIC FIELD.
Valuable Gift to the Hopkins Grammar
School.


Rector G. l.. Fox announced yester-
day to the pupils of the Hopkins Gram
mar school that valuable tract of land
in Westville had been given to the
trustees of the school by Charles r.
Pratt of the class of 81, H. G. s., for
use as an athletic field. The field is to
be known as the Pratt field and con-
tains about ten acres
Rector Fox stated to the boys that it
was his desire to have every boy in the
school use the field and that it was not
for any particular team or class. The
land was purchased by Charles r. Pratt
at the suggestion of his mother, Mrs.
=. f. Pratt of Clinton, Conn, former
ly OF this city, from the Windham
County Savings bank of Danielson,
Conn. 1t is the central part of what
is known as the Snow farm in West
Vile, which runs from Forest avenue
to Central avenue, two blocks from
Chapel street south.
The field is approached by either the
Fair Haven and Westville railroad or
the Edgewood line and is but three
blocks from the Yale field.
Two diamonds for baseball will be
provided right away and several tennis
courts will be laid out. These improve
ments will he made so that the field
will be available next term. No track
will be built, as there are no funds for
that purpose.

Local orthodox Hebrews are observ-
ing the feast of the Passover, which
began Sunday, or rather with the first
three stars of Saturday night, and
which will last seven days. The sym
bolic observances prescribed in the law
for the Passover day, besides the sac
rifices upon the one altar of the Lord,
are the Paschal lamb, the unleavened
bread. and the bitter herb, one lamb
for each household or two, if one have
too few eaters to consume a whole lamb
or kid. The unleavened bread and bit
ter herb were only to be eaten with
the Paschal lamb-without the lamb,
the bread and the herb are also SYM
bolic but the law does not prescribe
that they should be eaten, and so the
rabinical law ordains the eating thereof
as obligatory only on the first evening,
the time when the Paschal lamb was
eaten. According to the Mosaic law,
this meal cannot be eaten without
wine; and the Israelite scrupulously
places a goblet of wine on the table
for the stranger who may come in, and
it remains untouched until the cere-
monies connected with the meal are fin
ished.
