AN INSPIRING FELLOWSHIP MEETING,
A fellowship meeting of Congrega-
tiOnal churches took place here on
Tuesday of the present week, attended
by representatives of eight or nine
churches in this. vicinity, including the
Baptist church at Worthwhile. Rev Mr.
Munson of Warren led the devotional
service at 1890 a. M, followed by a SER
mon from Rev John Hutchins of Litch-
field and an address by Rev Mr. Page
of Wilton. A substantial lunch was
served at the parsonage at 1915, and
at 1.3O p. m. the congregation was ia
vored with an eloquent address from
Rev Mr. Ryder, D. D., who is secretary
OF the American Missionary associa-
tion at New.York City. This was fol-
lowed by ia short but interesting adj
dress from Rev F. A. johnson Of New
Milford, and the meeting concluded
with stirring address from Rev R. E.
Carter Of Washington upon the spirit
uality Of the church in connection
with it's financial standing. Other
ministers remarked on the different
themes introduced by the gentlemen
named, and altogether it was very
interesting meeting and satisfactory
to all interested in it. The day being
SO cloudless and warm brought out a
good attendance and the only regret
is that such meetings and Interchange
of opinions do not come more often
among the churches.

CONVENTION.

AN INSPIRING CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
CONVENTION.
One of the largest and best meetings
of the HOusa tonic Christian EndeavOr
Union was held with the Congregation
al church in New Milford, on Satur-
day, April rs. Theiday was fine and
large delegations came from as far
away as Sharon, Falls Village and
Warren. The unusually large num-
Der of young people present was notice
able. This was partly due to the fact
that the meeting was held on Satur-
day, when schools were not in session.
Earnest and able speeches were deliv-
cred by Rev Carl Stackman and and
H. II. Spooner. A paper of unusual ex-
cellence, on Christian Endeavor as
social force, was read by Miss Mary E.
Carter of Sharon. Rev Carl Stackman
of West Cornwallwas elected president
for the ensuing year. William S.
Green, of New Milford, VICE president,
and Miss Fay Benedict 0f Cornwall
Bridge, secretary and treasurer. The
meeting left the impression that
Christian Endeavor is strong force,
making for righteousness, in the
Housatonic valley.

DEATH BY SUICIDE.

Jane E. Hawkins, for many years a
resident of the Hoyden's Hill district,
and we'll known to the people of Green
field, was found dead at her home in
that place, Friday afternoon. She
lived alone in an old, dilapidated house
and had not teen seen out since last
Monday. Friday, two of her neighbors
proceeded to Investigate and were
Surprised to find the door unlocked and
partially opened. Upon entering the
house they found the body of Miss
Hawkins fully dressed and stretched
out upon the bed, cold and lifeless.
Medical Examiner Durham was noti-
fed and upon arrival found that death
was due to an overdose OF laudanum.
evidently taken with suicidal intent.
An empty bottle which had con-
tanned the poison was found on the
table near the bed. 1t was the opinion
of the medical examiner that life had
been extinct about three days. For
some time her mind has been affected
and she had imagined that enemies
were in pursuit of her who intended to
do her harm. This is the only reason
that can be assigned as the cause of
her rash act. She was SO years Of age
and leaves no near relatives.
