The obserY- ance began this morning at the church with a communion service conducted by the bishop of Delaware. At l0:3O there was service conducted by the bishop of Connecticut, the sermon being by Bishop Doane of Albany

Within the parish limits were the Episcopalians of the Greenfield, Fair field, Mill Plain Greens Farms and Stratfield settlements. In their early days these pioneers of the faith of the Church of England in Connecticut sui fered from persecution by the Congre- gationalists and from unequal political privileges. They had no rector of their own, the Rev. Samuel Johnson of New Haven officiating occasionally The parish was formed soon after the enact- ment of the colony statute giving each householder permission to pay taxes toward the support of any religious so- ciety to membership in which he would make sworn deposition.
 The first church building was dedi- cated on the Thanksgiving day of l725, and five others have been dedicated since, one of which was burned by Lord ,Tryon in 1779 The parish is prosper l ous. It's rector is the Rev, Dr. Edmund | Guilbert

 The characters of Arizona" are such that the soldier the cowboy and the woman one after another occupy the principal place. Having chosen an ap- pealing theme for his story, MT Thom-
 as, the author, also chose a collection of people who would not only preserve all the virtue which there was in the central idea, but who would each by
 contrast with the other carry out the
 general plan and make this mimic
 world seem like a real one. The force of the characters and the excellence of
 the situations are backed up by dia- logue which is always brisk, as the talk of the west should be, and which has lightness now, or a sombreness then, that is as distinct as the mountains and the shadows which form the back ground of the story.

IDENTIFIED THE REMAINS.

Naugatuck, Nov 22.-A few weeks ago the remains of an unknown man were found at Unionville and from the newspaper descriptions Frank Warren of this place suspected that the man was Chauncey Steele, former resident of this town. MT. Steele mysteriously left Naugatuck about two years ago and has never been heard of since.
 Mr. Warren went to Unionville and after viewing the remains did not rec- ognize the dead man. A short while after paper was found on the mems person which made it evident that it was the body of Chauncey Steele. There is now no doubt in the minds of his rel atives that he had become discouraged and met death in some mysterious way Charles E. Steele of Fair Haven, a son of the deceased, will attend to the dis poSal of the remains.

recently brought into public notice by the
anthracite strike and by comments which
have appeared in The Star The dealers
proposition is that the public must expect
a rise In price when the wholesale rate
rises, whatever the whole sale rate paid for
the stock on hand. On the other hand the
dealer declares that The public gets the
benefit of a drop in the retail price, with
out regard for the price that was paid at
wholesale for the stock then on hand. In
this view of the case the public pays the
cost of the strike at end and the re-
taller pays the cost at the other end This

But there Is as Yet no guarantee to reassure
the public that the retail price drops as
quickly in response to cause as 1t rises
There is no disposition to charge the retail
dealer in coal with greater degree of en-
terprise than his fellow retailer in another
line OF business. But it is well known
fact that the coal price is regulated by an

has no counterpart In other mercantile
lines. The dry goods merchants do not

supplement TO the schools. 1t was rec

A new paramount issue has been devel-
oped in the last month Of the canvass-the
maintenance Of 10-cent cotton. The state
central committee Of the populist party in
Louisiana is responsible for it. This body
held meeting the other day and adopted
a series of resolutions declaring that the
populists of Louisiana should join their re-
publican brethren-the sugar and rice plant
ers and the lumber men-in having Louis
lana vote for her interests. The committee
inGorse the electoral and congressional
tickets of the republican party, and urge az
their friends and all "self-respecting partl-
sans" to support those tickets. This is an
other sign Of the growing divergence OF
opinion among the white men of the south,
like the general support of Mckinley by
the populists Of North Carolina. These
changes will not prevent Bryan's getting
all of the electoral votes below the Potomac
and Ohio rivers, except perhaps those OF
West Virginia and Kentucky: but they
foreshadow very different state Of things
in that section before many years.

The Registration Figures.

The he wv registration in New York and

ne American people. They are taking a
gvarm interest in this campaign They are
live to the Importance of the issues pre-
ed and We are to have therefore a
Judgment at the polls that will amount to
omething. What that Judgment will be Is
, matter for conjecture. Both sides ex-
,res,s confidence in the figures. But on the
ace. of things the confidence of the sound
.norey side appears to he the better ground
H. And for these reasons:
Why should not the wage-earners interest
themselves in this election? More of them
re employed at present than before in d
;reat many years. Wages in the main are
II the top notch. The President promised
his when in 1896 he said that the need of
he country was the opening of the mills,
not the minis. and that republican success
would mean a revival of business. And
low that the mills are open, now that bust
ness il good and the people are employed,
should not the wage-earners desire and
strive for a continuation of those condi-
ions? Would they benefit by period of
depression and idleness? Does the wise
nan quarrel with good times? ls it recon-
nended that we kill the goose that lays
he golden egg!
Why should not the farmers interest
he nlselves in this election? AS a class.
rave they ever been in better condition than
now Mortgages have been lifted, grana-
les are full to bursting, and prices for all
agricultural products are soaring. 1t Is
Tue of course that political parties do not
END the rain. do not enrich the soil. do not
make hogs and cattle take on fat. But
here is the farmer in clover with every
body else, and why should he vote to put
he party of good times out and the party
Of loose experiments and calamity In? What
could he hope to gain by a change? What
but return to hard times, rope harness,
and tumbledown fences?
As to the manufacturers, the merchants,
he bankers, and men of the professions,
hey are for the sound money party in the
argeat numbers Even in the south. where
he Eogie of negro domination exerts so
furious an influence over many, there Is as
urance that thousands of men of the high
st social and intellectual grade who for
ears have supported the democracy are
anxious this year for republican success,

Nearing u Settlement.

A peaceful settlement of the coal strike
seems probable. although the miners con-
vention at Scranton really reached no def
mite conclusion regarding the operators Of
fer of 10 per cent advance. The Stars staff
correspondent on the scene wires today
that the leaders of the men, who seemed
for a time to have lost their power have
really secured a strong position, from which
they may be able to command a resumption
of work, notwithstanding the disposition of
some of the radicals to make further
trouble. 1t appears that Mitchell has car
ried his point of perfecting the organiza-
ton Of the United Mine Workers among
the anthracite miners. where it was pre-
vlously weak. He has secured in addition
a substantial increase for the men, The
other matters. in his view, can well wait
until spring for REIMBURSEMENT, especially as
the miners are apparently in no condition
to face a winter of idleness.
settlement of this strike without its
having produced a bad effect upon the po-
litical campaign now in progress would be a
triumph of order indeed. 1t was far from
the hopes of conservative men at the out
set that the men and their employers would
be brought together without much friction,
possibly much blOodshed. or without a Sc
