 Two hand organ grinders almost got themselves into peck of trouble this morning on Bank street. They with their organ started to grind out music as funeral cortege passed by. l One or two persons requested them to
 stop, but they either din't understand English or they didn't care to under stand it at that particular time. A
 woman happened to pass by them. She did not intend to waste any talk upon
 the foreigners, but seized the one who was turning the crank. shook him and pointed to the funeral passing. With
 an abject look of fear and amazement
 the Italian looked at the woman and
 then quickly stopped. He did not be gin to turn the crank again until the
 woman was out of sight. Owing to
 the above action upon the part of the grinders they received very little
 money on their round through Bank street.

Pastors Association Ask Authorities to
 Stop Use of One Next Sunday.
 Bridgeport, July 25.--A protest has been entered with the authorities against granting permit for a brass band to parade the streets of the city next Sunday. Sunday is the day se- lected as field day for the First regi- ment, Connecticut Rifles, of Connecti- cut. The meeting is to be held at Avon park
 On the same day the Irish .Volun- teers of New York will come to this city on the steamer John Brett. 1t was planned to meet tEe New York visitors, which includes a number of veterans of the Spanish-American war, and escort them to Avon park. Six companies of the Hibernian Rifles of the state, headed by the Wheeler & Wilson band was to do escort duty. It was arranged to have short street parade before the visitors repaired to Avon park
 The announcement of the parade aroused the members of the Pastors association of this city to such an ex- tent that q protest was determined

 The delegation comprised representa- i've clergymen and laymen. They in- formed the officials that they protested on the ground that the affair was en- tirely secular, being connected with a military field day and had no uAiigious significance. and that it woulA be sub- yersive of the quiet and character of the day. They held that no permit should be issued for military organ ization with full brass band to pa- l rade through the streets of the city on the Sabbath day.
 The authorities are considering the matter and just what the result will. pc Is not vet certain. A conference will be held to determine what is best to be done under the circumstances.
 Major !. H. McMurray of the Hi bernian Rifles when asked what would be done i'll view of the protests, said: It was not the intention of the regl- ment here to have any street parade through the principal streets of the city. We intended simply to act as an escort to the grounds. As the Irish Volunteers arrive here they will be es- corted to the grounds at Avon park, where we propose to have religious concert by the Wheeler & Wilson band. Tn view of the fact that an ob- lection to the street parade has been raised we will probably meet the New York visitors when tKey land in this city and proceed immediately to the park without any attempt at parade"

PRoMENADEs ON THE GREEN.
Not Sufficient Walks or Seats for
 Recreation Seekers.

The order prohibiting people from splitting on the walks on the green did not work much hardship to smokers who resort there, though many im- agined that it was equivalent to no- tice to users of the weed to quit the place altogether. The smoking is going on just the same as ever, but the busi- ness of expectorating on the walks has been stopped, and that was the end aimed at. This is something which should be appreciated by every body who has occasion to use the seats on the green as well as those who rarely rest on the benches, but pass over the walks frequently. It Is a pity that the lower end of the green is not provided with walks so that more settees could be put out. They would be great accommodation to the large number of women and chil- dren who collect on the green warm days. It is not unusual to see women standing because all the seats reserved for ladies are occupied, not by men, but women, who find it pleasant place to spend an hour or two. Let us have a walk running from the band stand from q point opposite the Sol diers' monument and another cross wise with seats sufficient to accomnlos date all who may want to use them.

 Under False Pretenses.
 A young fellow named John O'Don- nell forgot to go to his work yesterday morning and to be cure his vexation got drunk. Officer Brearton found him on Union street unable to take care of himself and Judge Peasley fined him $5 and costs this morning William Mooney of Dublin street got into trouble with u friend near the Meriden depot last night and when of ficer Allen undertook to take him into custody, Mooney got ugly and made things interesting for the officer But resistance was useless, Mooney was bundled into passing wagon and was fined So and costs and sentenced to 50 days in jail.
 A silly case but rather serious one for the accused was that against Ar thur Eldridge for obtaining goods un- der false pretenses. Eldridge was never before arrested. He appeared to be an honest, industrious fellow. He contracted with Warren l.. Hall to reap his crops and Eock his cradle. It was necessary for him to get another cradle and hear ing that William l.. Tyler of Bucks Hill had one he represented to MT Tyler that he was sent by Mir Hall to get a loan of the cradle. The cradle was given and when MT Tyler heard he had been duped he had Eldridge arrested. The cradle was intact, nev- ertheless. It is a serious thing to make misrepresentation for the purpose of obtaining anything and Eldridge was fined S15 and costs.
 A complaint against young fellow named Joseph Rowdy was nolled with. out costs. It was charged against this boy that he stole $40 from his parents, but afterwards the money was found and 1t turned out that the boy had moi taken it. Under these circumstances it would have been foolish to press the complaint.
 Judge Peasley presided.

According to the yearly custom

Over century and a quarter has
passed since this country took it's

had to bear it's peculiar burden, each
to face its special crisis and each
has known years of grim trial, when
the country was menaced by malice.
domestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon it
in drouth or flooded or pestilence:
when in bodily distress and anguish
of soul If paid penalty of folly and
froward heart. Nevertheless
decade by decade we have struggled
onward and upward; we now
abundantly enjoy material we'll
being and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual up
lifting. The year that has just
closed has been one Of peace and
of overlooking plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyd greater proSperi-
ty than we are now enjoying. For
TINS we render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to the Gicer of good ana we
seek to praise Him not by words
only bat by deeds, by the way in
which we do our duty to ourselves
and to. our fellowmen.
Now, therefore, / Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as day
of general thanksgiving, Thursday, |
the twenty seventh of the coming
November, and do recommend that |
throughout the land the people |
cease from their ordinary occupa-
tions and in their several homes and |
places of worship. render thanks
unto Almighty God for the manifold
blessings of the past year.
I'm witness whereof, have. here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
