THANKSGIVING AT THE CITY
MISSIONS

| The large City Mission hall was COM
| pletely filed on Wednesday afternoon
| by the members of the Mothers meet
| ing for their annual Thanksgiving ser
vice. The exercises We're conducted by
| Rev Mr.. Mossman, the missionary pas
tor; Miss Sagendorf was organist. and
very helpful address was made by
William G. Lotze, general secretary of
the Young Mems Christian association.
At the close of the meeting each of the
members of the Mothers meeting who
had been in regular attendance during
the year received as a special glft q
package Of wearing apparel, or dress
material suited to her needs.
These packages, 1S5 in number, had
been carefully prepared under direction
of Miss S. j. Hume, the lady mission
ary, assisted by Mrs. II. B. Sturgess,
Mrs. O. A. Dorman and other members
of the executive committee of the wo-
mans department. The occasion was
one Of great interest to all present, and
the happiness of the mothers and their
little children was the we'll earned re-
ward of Miss Hume and others who
have made such earnest efforts, not only
at Thanksgiving time, but throughout
the year for the success of the Moth
ers' meeting.
For Thanksgiving use by the City
mission workers there were sent by
friends of the mission, grocers, market
men and others, many gifts of money
with an abundant supply of turkeys
chickens, vegetables fruit, pies, cakes,
canned goods, etc There We're included
several bags of vegetables from the
Kings Daughters of East Haven and
box of homemade jellies, canned fruit,
etc, from the Sunshine circle of Madi-
son. Funds were also sent from room
10 Hillhouse high school and supplies
from the Greenwich avenue school.
Written or personal acknowledgment
has been made by Rev. Mr. Mossman
or Miss Hume for all donations receiv-
ed
Besides the 1856 special gifts already
more than one hundred per-
sons, mostly in families connected with
the City missions, We're provided with
dinners. Many others
were given cards for the packages from
the schools at the Organized Charities.
Families were named to those desiring
to themselves send Thanksgiving gifts.
A pleasant incident was a written in
vitation to family Thanksgiving dim
ner for three or four persons who might
be recommended from the mission. In
qures were also made by several CIV
ars about families in special need with |
a view to further help.
Those in charge of the mission work |
express sincere appreciation of the gen
arous help given them in this special
effort to help others under their care, so

Grand Opern House.

The standing room sign was dis
played at both performances at the
Grand yesterday and at the evening
performance many were unable to get
seats The attraction was the well
known drama entitled 1.-THE Village
Parson," and it proved to be most
interesting play. The plot briefly deals
with a broken hearted clergyman, ac-
cused of murder after his Wife's de-
parture. This has been plotted by
rascally lawyer, whose brother, the real
murderer, assists to carry it into exc
cution. The parson in order to save
himself from arrest quits the village
and he is found destitute, endeavoring
TO support himself by teaching. He
has become reckless and has flown to
drink to drown his trouble and anguish
of mind. All is cleared UP in the end,
however, in the orthodox fashion, and
the virtuous are restored and the VI
cious punished The piece is full of in
teresting situations and there are
number of very pretty scenes, the
comedy is refined and the piece is well
presented by a most capable company
of players. The principal male role,
that of the parson is played by Carl
Anthony and he made much of the
part and was very well received. He
was ably assisted by Miss Anna Viola
Risher as the wife The comedy role
was very well played by Mrs. George
w. Barnum and Philip Learning. Miss
Josie Mcmahon, a child actress of
marked ability, is also deserving of
special mention. The remainder of the
company, e. Lawrence Lee, Edwin Lor-
ing, Stewart F'uimer, Mamie Barber,
Inez Eckels and Nellie Jerrels, were ex-
cellent in their respective roles. The
piece is written along the lines of 1.-THE
Old Homestead" and it is as fully in
teresting and should be witnessed by
crowded houses at all the perform
ances. No better play of this style has
been at the Grand this season and al
ready there has been a very large adj
vance sale of seats. 1t will be repeated
this and tomorrow evening and at the
matinee tomorrow.

VEST HATEN SCHOOL CBNSU
More Pupils Attending school Than
Ever Before--Dr Barnett's Report.

DR.. John F. Barnett, a member of the
| board of education of West Haven, has
just finished the annual census of the
children of school age in the town, and
it shows a good increase over last years
attendance. The legal status of the
West Haven board of education is still
hanging fire in the courts, and in the
meantime all kinds of business is piling
up and when it will be transacted no.
body knows There is now pigeon
hole full of business awaiting the board
and as there have been no meetings
since September it will take consider
able time to get together" 1t is the in
dividual work, such as computing the
school census that can be accomplish
ed now, but 1t wont be long before this
line Of work will be exhausted.
It is especially necessary that the
school question be settled as many ex-
tensive plans to be put into execution
by the board are being talked of, one OF
which is the erection of two new school
buildings, one to be at the shore and
the other to be located near the center
of the borough. Until some settlement
of the long disputed question is made
things will be at standstill In West
Haven.
DR.. Barnett's report shows a very
encouraging state Of affairs In the pub
lie schools in West Haven, as the total
Of pupils attending the schools
now is greater than ever before. In the
Union district the number of pupils over
four and under sixteen years is 1,15S,
and the number attending school, pub
lie or private, in the year ending Sep
TENDER 3, was 1901, the number not at
tending school being 157. OF the 157 not |
attending school eighty-one are under 5
years of age and rs are between five and |
years Of age, Last year the total |
number Of pupils attending school in
the Union district was 1893
In the other districts in the town |
there are 1859 pupils within the school |
age and Ais of these are attending |
school, So 1t will be seen that the |
whole number of scholars in the |
schools of the town at the present time
Is 1,418, which is considered very large |
attendance.

BISHOP 11zr1EJoHN rERY FEEBLE
Clergymen of Long Island Diocese
Thinks Coadjutor Should be Chosen
Years Ago Rector of st. Paul's, This

Clersymen OF Long Island Diocese
Thinks Coadjutor Should be Chosen
Years Ago Rector of st. Paul's, This
City.
THere is strong sentiment among
the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the diocese of Long Island
that coadiutor should be chosen to
lift much of the burden of the diocese
from the shoulders of the venerable
Bishop Abram NeWl1irk Littlejohn, who
Is sc feeble that he cannot longer per-
form alone the duties of his Office.
Bishop Littlejohn was many years ago
rector of st. Paul's church, this city,
yet not a few in this city remain among
our older people who We're active in
st. PaupS during his ministrations
there and not q few younger in years
will also remember him and his great
popularity as preacher and rector
here.
Yesterdays New York Sun says: The
idea of a coadjutor bishop is not a new
one 1t was limited at in the last an
nual diocesan convention and has been
discussed in the meetings of the church
club, but Bishop Littlejohn himself has
heretofore rather frowned on the sug-
gestion. 1t is Understood, however,
that he is now willing to have an as
sistant if the man he desires can be
elected. 1t was recently said that
Bishop Potter had offered to relieve
Bishop Littlejohn of the care Of the old
Brooklyn district, leaving the latter to
devote his attention to that portion of
the diocese in the proximity of Garden
City, where he lives.
Bishop Littlejohn's physical feeble
ness has been shown of late by his in
ability to perform the annual confir-
nation ceremony. Bishop Brewster and
Others have taken some of the work off
his hands, but several of the confirma-
ton classes now ready must wait be-
yond the date originally set for the
ceremony. Within the last few weeks
Bishop Littlejohn sent to the rectors a
circular letter announcing his decision
to make confirmation visits in the flu
ture not oftener than every two years.
Confirmation classes are ready in st.
Georges, St Timothys and st. Pauls
churches. The rectors of them have
asked Bishop Littlejohn to permit them
to call upon an outside bishop to per-
form the ceremony. Bishop Littlejohn
will be seventy-six on December 10. He
is the first bishop of the Long Island
diocese.

THE SULTAN ALARMED.

Hopes to Pay Indemnity to America in

Cramps,
Constantinople, Nov. 27.-The arrival
Of the United States battleship Ken
lucky at Smyrna has so alarmed the
porte that indications are accommodating
of a desire to hasten a settlement to
the satisfaction of the United States.
An trade has been issued calling for
the purchase of a cruiser at Philadel-
phia, the price to include the 100000 Ar
menian indemnity This is regarded as
a subterfuge designed for local con-
sumption to save the face of the porte.
Nevertheless, it is now believed that
Turkey will find the money and order
a cruiser in the hope of propitiating the
United States.
Despite the dispute the relations be-
tween the United States legation and
