Seattle's hardware men are having
a harvest in the sale of pistols to the
citizens, owing to the fact that there
is such an overflow of criminals in the
city. We only hope that some of
these pistols will be used with telling
effect during the carnival of crime that
reigns supreme in this city at present.

At last the truth is out and the great
gain in the Socialist vote at the late

the Republican ticket and being utterly
disguised with the Democratic party

contempt for all forms of civilized
government

TOWN TOPICS.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

STRAY BITS FROM THE FELLOWSHIP
MEETING.
One of the pleasant incidents con-
nected with the delightful fellowship
meeting held in the church on Tues
day was the renewal of acquaintance
between the pastor of neighboring
congregational church and Newtown
lady. The pastor was a master of a
school in Bridgeport way back in Civil
War times, and the Newtown lady was
then little girl, his pupil. The first
glance made one of them think that
they had seen each other before, and
a question to identity led to delight
fui recalling of Aud Lang Syne.-One,
well acquainted over South Britain
way, said she saw 81 people whom she
knew from across the river. Surely
South Britain responded to the invita-
tion in manner which showed that
over there they know what fellowship
means. What wonderful old man
the beloved Deacon Warren Mitchell
is! He is old in years but very young
in heart. Like the great Angelo at 80
he could say, 81 am still learning"
He was at the fellowship meeting shak
ing hands with old frien9s and letting
sunbeams of gladnesS beam out from
his eyes. Not the least enjoyable
feature of the occasion was the
rapid-hre artillery of good natured
raillery and fun that was exchanged
among the ministers in the impromp-
tn after-dinner speeches. The minis
ter of to-day is not so lugubrious and
woe. be-gone an individual as his grand
