TIE Sudden death of Judge ]. Nj.
Wilson, announced in our dispatches
yesterday, was great surprise and
quite shock to many of our older
citizens who knew him well. Judge
Wilson was one of the ablest men
who ever represented this district in
congress, and he no doubt would
have remained in that body many
years but for the fact that he voted
for Ahat was known as the salary
grab" The clamor that was raised
at the time over the increase of con-
gressional salaries caused him to re-
tire from official life, although he did
not accept the additional pay for
which he voted. Judge Wilson was
born in Warren county, Ohio, and
would have been 73 years old the
24th of next November. The death
of Judge Wilson leaves Henry Z.
Johnson as the only living ex-con-
congressman from this district

1t took the jury in the Czolgosz
case but forty minutes to find a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
The jury was composed of thre e
farmers, four mechanics and five
business men, representing the mic
die class, the bone and sinew OF the
country. A better composition could
not have been secured. The prompt
ness with which they performed the
unpleasant duty imposed upon them
was very creditable to American
citizenship.

In an iterview at Indianapolis yes
terday concerning the new admins
tration Senator Fairbanks said:
President Roosevelt's ability,
character and experience in public
service amply justify the opinion
that he will administer well the
affairs of the government. He has
made very excellent beginning. In
the difficult work so unexpectedly
cast upon him he should and will
have the support of every true
patriot. The change in administra
tion has not disturbed cor fdenee in
business circles at all If there was
any apprehension, it has disappeared
and confidence is well established.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
THE OLD BEAN POT.

]. OTIS SWIFT IN BANGOR COMMERCIAL.
It's covered with grease and is sooty,
Its handle is dent in a hook,
But tits clean inside as the sparkling tide
That flows in the meadow brook.
How often at night have 1 seen it
Come hot from the oven of brick,
With slice of the Autumn porker
That was lean and long and thick!
1t wasn't the bean pot that did it,;
1t wasn't the oven so hot;
But no, twas the secret that mothers
For generations had taught,
Snow bound and coy and tight
can see it STILL the house on the hill,
And the farmers Saturday night.
1t is clustered with SCOT and with memories
Of the hands of toilers gone
For it filed space by the old fireplace
When my grandpa's father was born
Grandma and mother and sisters!
God bless them wherever they are.
For the SAVIOR OF Saturday suppers
Has followed me far and far.
I know not wherever they got it,
That bean pot that always was hot,
But treasure it now on my mantel
A black and most comfortable lot.
The wife of my choice she means
With the greatest of grace to fill her place,
But I'm sorry she, doesn't like beans.''
1t sat on the table at supper
Like a King in the midst of his court,
And as it safe it filed each plate
For beans were the household forte.
The wind might howl in the dooryard
And tear at us under the caves.
And the snow might bury the meadow
o And the forests rustlings leaves.
But there always was cheer in the kitchen
When Saturdays supper came round
And the beans we're served in the center,
So juicy and richly Drowned;
And the laugh had the ring Of pleasure
AS each one ate from steaming plate
And youth was its own own treasure.

NON CHURCH ATTENDAN CE.

The reports as made from time to
time by the Bible distributors, agents
of our Connecticut Bible society, are,
on the line of which we are now writ
ing alarming and astounding! The fol-
lowing is partial result of religi.
GUS census just taken in the town OF
Middletown, and reported by a local
correspondents:
"The religious census which has been
made in this town shows some inter.
esting facts. The number of church
members was 3,019. There were POI
Protestant families not attending
church and 961 Protestant adults, who
claimed to be non-chnrch-goers."
Just think of this statement
Where are our yonng men, as a body
on the Lords day? Surely not in the

churches. But few, comparatively, of
that class are found attending religi-
GUS services on the Sabbath. We read
a report of another town in this state,
relative to this matter some time since,
and the figures revealed sad and
startling condition of things! Hun
dreds of PrOtestants in that town at
tend no church service! 1t was far
otherwise in Connecticut in the earlier
life of the writer. Then there was
hardly family but that attended di-
vine worship, and those who did not
go were regarded as occupying lower
social position in the community
where they lived. Church going was
the rule and the children were in the
Sunday school. A far better state of
things prevailed, in some respects,
then than now. Suppose the example
now should be followed by all, what
should we have? There would be no
churches, no preachers of the gospel:
no religious teachers; no prayer meet
ings: no Sunday schools: no one to pray
nor bury the dead! How long before
we should lapse into condition of
complete heathenism and barbarism?
| With such host of non-church-goers
in Connecticut to-day we ask, solemnly,
whittier are we drifting? What is to
be the final outcome of all this neglect
of God and His sanctuary? Where
will it end? This is a momentous SUBJ
| ject, indeed, and calls for most serious
thought, and earnest consideration,
on the part of every true lover of God,
and humanity! The multitudes have
time for everything else, business,
pleasure and all that; but no time nor
disposition, to attend the services of
the Lords house! This terrible evil
is growing upon us! Thousands seem
to have no thought of God or the fu-
ture. The church is forsaken! Oh,
for salvation.-[Rev G. N. Nichols.

tier over the Bay to Bedloe's island,
Whereon stands the eighth wonder of
the world, the colossal statue of Lib

height of this monument is 3O5 feet II
inches. Formerly by means of spiral
staircase within the statue and a 81
round ladder leading up through the
extended right arm, visitors could
reach the torch, but as it is no longer
regarded safe to venture SO far visit
ors should be content with a view
from the apertures in the coronet of
the Goddess. This view is very fine
and alone repays one for coming. Some
idea OF the immense size of this statue
can be gained from the fact that 40
people can stand comfortably within
the head while the torch will hold II

AMERICAS GREATEST CITY.
ITS ATTRACTIONS AND TELLS OF HER
EXPERIENCES THERE.

A S1EfNE1 GlRL W Rifles CONCERNlNt
ITS ATTRACTIONS AND TELLS OF HER
EXPERIENCES THERE.
Dear BEE: There is nothing remark
able about the fact of my being in New
York City; nothing unusual has hap
pened. Some years ago, being impel-
led again by a desire to visit my wor-
thy relatives, I sailed forth from the
old home in Stepney with that purpose
in mind and came to this city and SO
it happens that am now comfortably
housed in that pleasant part Of the
town called Harlem, surrounded by
merry hearted cousins and a kind, low
ing aunt. Amid such pleasing en-
vironment [ have been thinking about
you and of those who are waiting for
''something about New York; and
hence this letter in which l will cheer
fully write what my very limited
knowledge of this great city may per-
nit me to tell.
1t has long been well established
fact that New York City is not only
the foremost city in the Western hem
isphere, but in some respects is the
foremost city of the world; as, in
great lofty structures: in commercial
activity: in financial affairs; in inter-
national relations; in polyglotical rep
RESERVATIONS: in gigantic enterprises:
in notable scientific and engineering
achievements; in colossal Individual
ACCOMPLISHMENTS; in mammoth cor
porate wealth; in maritime commerce:
in absolute freedom of citizens and in
the aggregation of civil, social, philan-
thropic and religious associations; this
city stands unsurpassed anywhere on
the globe.
AS is generally known, New York
City has now five boroughs, namely:
Manhattan and Bronx (old city,,
Brooklyn, Greens and Richmond
Staten Island), and since the annex
alton of the three last named boroughs
January l, 1898, is known as Greater
New York, the second largest city on
earth: as such it comprises an area of

of 3, 437 ,2O2 according to census report
of 1900; while the estimated popula-
ton by Board of Health for January l,
1901, brings the total up to 3,49OO91.
For this multitude there are nearly
1000 churches and MISSIONS; 3O1 prima-
ry and grammar schools; 10 high
schools: three colleges and two univer-

touched Proverbs 16: 20, which reads,

had opened the Book quite at random

happy omen. President Mckinley
has shown great wisdom in his choice

that the old copper mine at East
CRANKY, Ct, called the Newgate pris-

stead, for a term Of fifty years by a
Lenox, Mass, mining company and
they expect to begin work about May

Revolution it was quite a copper mine
and the chambers run long distances
under the ground. The copper de-
posits have been recently examined
by prospectors and it is thought that
quite an industry might be started
again in mining copper. The place
has large historic interest from the
fact that the mine was used to keep

CIRCULATION F.:
The OUTLOOK.

Polygamy A bill has recently passed
In Utah. the Legislature OF Utah
which seems to look to continuation
of polygamy in that part OF our Union.
The bill limits the quality of evidence
which can be used in trying to prove
that Mormon is guilty of this crime
and practically confines the evidence
to confession of guilt on the part OF
the accused. The defenders of the bill
say that prosecutions are made be-
cause of religious prejudice and that
those who have lived in polygamous
relations in the past are being perse-
cuted. To the outside world it looks
as if the Mormon church was trying
to legalize polygamy and it is evident
that Utah will bear watching. What
is needed is pure white life for man
as we'll as woman not only in Utah but
also in other parts of our country.
Parliament 1t is not all peace and
Affairs quiet over in the English
House of Commons. At a recent cris-
is in affairs when the Irish members
were trying to resist the speaker 10
nationalists were carried out Of the
House by the police. 1t is evident
that English politics are in rather a
critical condition and no one may tell
what the results will be. AS result
of the fight the government party has
passed an amendment to the rules OF
the House whereby any member who
ressts the speaker will be suspended
from membership the rest of the ses-
