LITTLE SERMON

"put thy shoes from off thy feet, TOT .,, r,,oa m which thou standest is holy ground. Exodus iii, 5.
 Tn the first place there is plea tor h,ra feet in the time when these words were written shoes" meant "sandais'
 or1v matter of protection from pain for the sole of the foot stockings pelng a device of modern civilization, and the feet those untiring and faithful pro- na,lers nf the human body, were not viewed with dsmay if seen in the fasn- ion and form in which they were creat- ed as we know, to this day, the uncov- cred and batlned foot is the sign of homecoming and gracious hospitality
 Location is the second prominent idea. Holy ground" taking the text out or its circumstantial surroundings, what Is meant by "holy ground?" To my mind it means any spot or location where we are brought into the presence or atmosphere of noble act where wealth comes by heredity or daily gift does the recipient appreciate truly us value? No. Let a man or woman or child earn a dollar by personal efrort an dthat dollar becomes talisman in their lives A boy, whose home life gives him ease and luxuries, can he be blam- ed if he, receiving them as matter Of course, grow unheedful of gratitude and at last unmindful of the wants ana rights of others In his selfish persistence to secure for himself continuance or his chidhood's indulgences? A timely caution, an earnest appeal, spirited encouragement and the lad puts forth his individual efforts. He makes pur- chase partly on credit. This first obli- gation Is cancelled. He makes a second venture, and by the exercise of commer- cial rules effects balance in his favor. How does he feel now? That money is more to him than twice the amount re- ceived gratuitously from his parents and he holds 1t and debates long with himself before it Is spent. What impels him to buy something for his daily needs that his parents need not be call ed upon to meet this particular neces- sity? It is not filal love, but gratitude?
 The teachings of Christ. the Judean law, and the ancient doctrines of Confu- cius inculcate filial duty and affection. It's first tangible and earnest expression is the birth of a nobility which must bring deep satisfaction to parent. Whether he buys necktie or cap, a handkerchief or a pair of shoes, your child has brought to you his first effort to ease ltfes burden and proves his love and gratitude, You stand in the pres ence of a fresh young soul. thus uncon- sciously putting a tender yet willing shoulder to the wheel which grlnds along the highway of life, and drops tiny stone under it's grooming rim, that you may take a little respite. Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy grornd" G Keith St. John

Mrs. Phillips Admits Killing Her Broth-
 CT. But is Not Held by Court.
 worcester Mass, Aug. 2.-Mrs. Nora phillips. who shot and killed her broth- CT. David McNamara, at their home i'll Leicester, yesterday afternoon, was in the police court this morning charged with manslaughter. On the recommen- dation of District Attorney Redwood Hoar. who said that there was no evi- dence on which the defendant could be held on criminal charge, Mrs. Phil lips was allowed to go free woman.
 There was no attempt made to show that Mrs. Phillips did not do the shoot ing. She freely admitted that she caus- ed her brothers death, but claimed that it was done in self defense.
 Her sister and Jerry Griffin, who was passing the house at the time of the shooting, were witnesses in court to-day and told such a straightforward story of the fierce struggle between McNa- mara and Mrs. Phillips, in which it was a question for a long time as to who would be killed, that there was no room for doubt that Mrs. Phillips was fully Justified. The sympathy of Leicester is entirely with the woman.
 McNamaras body will be buried by the town of Leicester the members of the family having refused to have any thing to do with it.

Street Committee Will Go to New York
 and to Paterson.
 The committee on streets last night held a meeting and decided to accept an invitation extended by the Johnson burg Pavement company and the Hast ings Pavement company to visit New York city and Paterson, N. J., for the purpose of inspecting brick, asphalt block and other kinds of pavements laid in those cities The committee will leave New Haven tomorrow morning and will probably not complete the in- spection until Monday Alderman Wal lace of the Eleventh ward, chairman of the committee, said last night that while 1t was rather unfortunate that the committee should be obliged to ac- cept such an invitation from private corporations in order to inspect pave ments laid in other cities and to ob- serve the merits of various paving ma- terials in wear, yet the committee felt that before recommending the outlay of large sums of money on pavements for New Haven streets it should gain some practical knowledge of the merits of different kinds of pavements. It ap- peared that the only way the members could gain such information as was de- sired was either to go at their individ- ual expense or accept the invitations of the colnpanieS.

 Coroner Mix received a report yester- day from Medical Examiner Joslin of Mt. Carmel on the killing of Joseph Hauser, the eleven-year-old son of Hen " Hauser, who died Tuesday after noon from a bullet wound through his body. The report states that young Hauser was accidentally shot by com- panion named Harry Zimmerman, the son of Henry Zimmerman, who con- ducts a farm and cider mill not far from the scene of the tragedy. Young Zimmerman finally made a statement to the medical examiner in which he detailed the shooting of the dead lad with a rife.
 Medical Examiner Joslin said yester- day afternoon that he was satisfied that Hauser's death was due to acci- dent. He had made a thorough inves- tigation of the affair and came to the conclusion that the rifle was discharged while the boys were romping. There had been no previous quarrel and all the circumstances of the tragedy go to show that the bullet was accidentally fired.

Judicious bunting in the seventh in ming of yesterdays ball game between New Haven and Waterbury discon- certed Herndon, the visiting tWirler, and resulted in a victory for the Blues Up to the seventh inning the game was one of the cleanest contests seen at SaVln Rock this year, 1t being truly a battle royal between the two pitchers. It would be hard to judge which of the latter did the best work, although Vol lendorf's score shows up the better. Of the eleven hits made by New Haven many were bunts. Through these they were able to score two runs in the seV- enth inning and six in the eighth, to- tai of eight.

STATE LEAGUE STANDING.
WILL USE sPALDING BALL.
State League Adopted it at Last Night
 Meeting


 Meeting.
 A special meeting of the Connecticut State league was held in the Hotel Garde last night All the clubs were represented. The question which has recently been brought before the league that of using the Victor ball instead of the official Spalding or Reach ball, was decided last night. It was voted to adopt the spading ball and to use it on and after August 8.
 By the adoption of this ball the bat ting will doubtless be better and the pitching and fielding sharper, as it is claimed that the Victor balls get soggy after being used half a game.
 The umpire staff was filled last night by the appointment of F. r, Cray of Holyoke as a regular.
 This afternoon the Blues play in Nor wich and tomorrow New London will cross bats with the locals at the Savin Rock grounds.
