BURGLARY AT MIL
 FORD

Bridgeport, Jan. 2S.-An attempt was made about II o'clock last night to bur- glarize the factory of the Milford Silver company at Milford. All of the putty around large pane of glass in one of the windows of the concern was remov- ed, but in attempting to get the glass out of the window the woud-be bur glar made considerable noise. Resi- dents of the neighborhood were aroused and gave chase. Two revolver shots were fired at the man, but without eff feet other than to rouse about every one in the town. The burglar escaped Estley Cunning, superintendent of the works, and Frank Wallace, the watch man, made an examination of the prem ises and found that entrance to the fac tory had not been effected. The burglar escaped and left no clue.

Will Feed 10000 Veterans.
 At the Confederate Veterans reunion to be held in Dallas in April former Atlantian now cattle king in the Lone Star State, has offered to furnish the meat for the 10000 old soldiers of the South who will assemble once again under the Stars and Bars. Capt. w. R. Mcintyre, himself an old soldier, is the man who has made this generous proposition to the Dallas people who are to entertain the veterans. Nor has this generosity and hospitality stopped there, for in addition to this offer he proposes to entertain all the survivors of his old command, Leydens Battal- ion of Artillery. It was nearly 25 years ago that Captain Mcintyre, well known business man here, failed utter ly and went to Texas to start life over again. He had been a wholesale liquor dealer and later a cotton merchant. Little was heard of him here until two or three months ago, when he returned to Atlanta for visit He found many of his old friends long since passed away, but not few of them still living and happy of his for tune. During the interim between leaving and returning to Atlanta he had devoted himself exclusively to cattle raising, and in that time, some 20 years, he had amassed a wonderful fortune-Atlanta Journal.

EPIDEMIC IN LON
 DON

The doctors agree in fortelling a more serious outbreak of smallpox In the spring, but, as the number Of cases already reported has reached as much as fifty odd in 0 single day, we need not wait till the spring to consider the se- rlousness of the position. The govern ment, having made the grievous mis- take of permitting the conscience clause have an immense additional re- sponsibility laid upon them. Without suggesting the need for any extreme alarm for the moment it is necessary 10 ask if the government have realized their responsibility and are taking eV- cry possible precaution. The statistics fo the outbreak till the end of the year show that the mortality among the vac cinated is minute in the case of people from one to twenty years of age; there was, in fact only one death, as com pared with nineteen deaths among the unvaccinated. But in persons between twenty and sixty years old there were thirty-nine deaths among the vaccina- ted and three among the unVaccinated. The figures, of course, give imperfect information without comparison of the relation of the numbers of vaccinated people to unvaccinated; but they show conclusively that vaccination is an al- most certain prophylactic for consid- erable period, but that after that period has been passed revaccination is essen- tial
 The most remarkable fact in this out
 break has been the small number of children attacked very large number of the deaths are of people between the ages of twenty and forty. Unfortu- nately, it is these people who are en- tirely neglected by public health off, cers Every parent is no doubt official ly informed of the duty of vaccinating his child, but no person of mature years is even reminded that vacchation is a duty which he owes to the community. Unless the public will appreciate of their own initiative the imperative na- ture of this precaution, the alarm which is rapidly growing and which the doc- tors are pooh-poohing, is likely to be more than justified. Even in the vest end people live at closer quarters than nature approves if; and if serious ep- idemic spreads, the responsibility will lie on the gocernment, first for the mis- erable conscience clause; secondly, for inadequate insistence on the absolute need for revaecination,--Lond Satur- day Review.

 First Event by Local Organization Last
 Night.
 The first annual concert and prome- made given by the New Haven Local No. 217, Bartenders' Internal onal Union of America, in Music hall last night was marked success.

 The decorations were very pretty, blue and white being the predominant color. The railing of the balcony, which is on three sides of the hall, was almost hidden from view with these decora- tions, while at intervals were large rosettes of the same material. One at- tractive feature was large star at the front part of the hall, every point of which was brilliantly lighted by electric bulbs.
 Preceding the dance a short musical programme, consisting entirely of selec- tions by the orchestra, was given,

UNION OF BAPTIST CHURCHES
CONFERENCE REPORT 4CCEPTEI
 BY HOPE CONGREGATION.
Important Meeting Held Last Night Tho Many Provisions of the Commit'ee Reuort Ratified and Adopted-New Church to be Erected.

< At the meeting of the congregation or the Hope Baptist church held in the church building last night the import ant action of ratifying and adopting the report of the conference committee of that church and the First Baptlst church, with reference to the consolloa- lion of the two churches, was taken This action was unanimous, and all or the provisions of the report of this con- ference committee as adopted by the congregation of the First church at its meeting on Sunday night last were accented. The result of this action IS that there will be a union of the two churches in the very near future, and that the present Hope church building will for the present be used as the place of worship. It was also voted last night that the conference commit lee be continued and that they have the important duty of selecting a prop CT site for the erection of new house or WOTSIllp, WHICH oHetii " iHA SS SA'O-ofN to accommodate the needs of the new church The church will be located at some point north of Humphrey street, either on Orange street or Whitney avenue, or between these two strets.
 Mt is quite likely that the Republican club hall will be abandoned as a place of worship of the First Baptist church in very few weeks, in fast, as soon as the many details of the union can < be arranged.
 The principal provisions of the re- mort as adopted are that the same CO., venant will be used in the united frhlrch as is now used in both of the .cfarches. The Rev. pr. F. c. Sage will

The deacons or both churches will be continued in of- flee in other words, there will be twice the number of deacons in the united church as there have been in either or the separate churches. One import ant matter is that all other officers or all societies and auxiliaries of both churches will resign, thus leaving the field clear for new organizations entire, and the selection of totally new sets of officers.
