WORCESTER CYCLE COMPANY.
Hearing on the Application for the Alp.
 nnintment of a. Trustee

Hearing on the Application for the Ap-
 pontment of Trustee.
 Middletown, Nov. 4.-Decision was re- served by Judge Davis in the probate court this afternoon on the application of the general creditors of the Worces- ter Cycle Manufacturing company for the appointment of c. c. Goodrich of the Hartford and New York Transport ation company as trustee. Attorney Buckland of New Haven who repre- scented the Central Trust company, the mortgagee of the bondholders, asked for the appointment of Frank Sullivan Smith the present receiver, as trustee. Attorney Buckland claimed the compa- ny had $523, 900 of property, against which there was a mortgage of $85, ,000 on the plant here and $S4,00O on the plant in Worcester, Mass; bonds to the amount of $325,000, secured by the Trust company's mortgage, and $200,000 unse- cured debts.
 Objections were raised to Mir. Smith acting in the dual capacity of receiver and trustee on the ground that he all ready represented the bondholders. The general creditors maintained that the mortgage to the Central Trust compa- ny does not cover goods manufactured or in process of manufacture, or ma- chinery purchased since the mortgage was given.
 It is understood that if MT Goodrich is appointed trustee the validity of the mortgage will be tested in the courts. There are thirty-two creditors in Con- necticut whose claims aggregate over $50,O00, while the largest creditor out side the state is the Shelby Tube com- pany of Shelby, Ohio. Ten attorneys were in attendance at the hearing, rep- resenting the various creditors.

 REPORT OF JUNIOR WORK.
 The report of Junior work was made by it's secretary, Miss Kate G. Lam son of Boston, in part as follows:
 Ten thousand mite boxes have been circulated among the children. A letter had been issued quarterly, and sent to children's societies at a subscription price of ten cents a year. Two thou sand copies of our yearly appeal to Christian Endeavor societies have been circulated A leaf1et giving a simple statement of what the woman's boards are, and why they look to Endeavorers for help, has been prepared in connec- ton with the board of the Pacific. Over two thousand pages have been dupli- cated, giving to Endeavor societies cop- ies of the letters from their missiona- ries and the fields in which we are es- pecially trying to enlist their interest.
 Our Daughters of the Convent in- crease steadily in numbers, twenty one hundred now being enrolled. Perhaps no part of our work has been so uni versally progressive as the cradle roll, which is reported as being successfully CdTTleu Ou III I1lHGlGeIl DTdICNeS. Rdl- lies of young people and children are becoming general throughout our branches and are found to be power full factor in the years work
 Forty-one Junior auxiliaries and mis- sion circles have been organized, six teen cooperative societies gained ,mak- ing total gain of thirty-five Receipts for the past twelve months show some suggestive facts. From Junior auxil- iaries we have received $882 30 less than last year; from Mission circles, S227 O6 less; from Christian Endeavor Societies, $767.S4 less; from Junior Endeavor, $22.09 more; from cradle rolls, $207. .61 more; from Sunday schools, $1,123.96 less than last year. What inference shall we draw from these figures? They would seem to indicate that our young people, if giving as largely as in other years, are doing so through channels of their own choice forgetting to some extent, the right which our woman's board has to look to them for support. It would also seem that the children have been more loyal than their elders among our Junior forces. and are gain ing upon the work of other years.

DUNMORE.


The regular monthly meeting of the
Ladies' Home and Foreign Mission
airy society of the Dunmore Presbyter-
ian church was held in the parlors of
that edifice Tuesday afternoon. The
meeting was an enthusiastic one and
resulted in a manner which gave added
interest to the future work OF the So
ciety. The event was full of encour-
agement to those enlisted In the noble
work. A handsome sum was realized
IN the meeting, including generous
donation from a member, Mrs. A. ID.
Blackington. At the conclusion of the
session the members were rendered
supper by Mrs. Blackington, which in
cluded the gentlemen and members Of
the congregation. A large number
were present and shared in the pleas
ures of the occasion. 1t has been Mrs.
Blackington's life long aim to promote
the Christian and social prosperity of
the church, of which her father and
mother, the late Mr.. and Mrs. John b.
Smith, were prominent members, and
closely identified with its progress
along every line. In the words of a
member of the society neither herself
or her sister members can find Ian
guage suitable to express their appre-
citation of Mrs. Blackington's kindness.
1t can be truthfully remarked that her
Kindness and that of the family per-
meate every branch of the church's
work from the primary department of
the Sunday school up. 1t is only fair
to Mrs. Blackington to say that no one
recognizes more keenly than herself
the liberality Of her associates in church
work who ever stand ready to assist
her In the Christian duties as well as
to the church's social needs. A sill
yer Offering was taken up which re-
suited handsomely to the benefit of the
society.

LOOKING BACKWARD.
How the Good Old Times Leave
Their Lasting Impression.

It is quite natural for elderly peo
pie to think that the times which are
gone by, and which they alone remem-
ber, were more interesting and notable
than the times which are passing now,
says one of Harper's publications. The
passage of years tends to efface from
the mind the merely commonplace oc-
currences of evevy day, and leave only
the salient ones; so that past years are
really more remarkable in our memoir
les.
This is one reason why people speak
of severe weather as "old fashioned"
On the whole the weather does not
vary much from one decade to another;
but people remember the severe wealth
er and forget the ordinary, so that to
the mind the weather of the past is ex-
treme weather.
But the valuation placed on old
things may be excessive-as, for in
stance, in the case Of a remark made by
an old gentleman to his nephew:
Twenty degrees below zero" he
said. What does that amount to?
Why, l can remember a day, when |
was twenty years old, when the mer-
curry was forty degrees below zero;
and you must remember that one de-
gree then was as good as two nova
daysr'
This reminds one of the philosophy
of the Irishman regarding the diff
ference between the days in Ireland
and America.
"Ah," said he, "the days Is twice as
long in the old country as here-and
there's twice as many of them"
