TALKED OF HIS TRIP.
J. q. Englo's Interesting Address on
jerusalem.

An audience that filled the Seely'
theatre to the topmost gallery sea
enjoyed a most interesting address
last evening when John H. Engle
general secretary Of the Kansas State
Sunday School Association. told of hil
trip to Jerusalem. Mr.. Engle Is an
engaging speaker and his pleasing
platform manner, his well-trained
voice and his rare ability in describ-
ing the scenes and events Of . jour
ney held the close attention Of every
member OF the vast audience. Abb
lene was more than charmed with the
lectureand compliments were show
cred upon the speaker lavishly.
MI. Engle sketched the ten weeks
tour graphically. touching on the
various points visited and the people
and 9 presented. He said he
came back with a greater admiration
than aver for the United States and
determined that on every Fourth Gof
July his home and table should show
some decoration as an appreciation Of
the great government under which
we live. He also paid a high tribute
to the work OF the missionaries and
praised their devotion and accom-
plishments. His description Of Pales.
tine, Jerusalem, the villages and
cities and the sights and scenes made
vivid picture and one that will not
be forgotten by those fortunate
enough to hear the address.
Another delightful feature Of the
evening was the appropriate solo,
1.-THE Holy City, by Mrs. J.. A. Young,
Mrs. H. E. Ellison accompanying her
At the piano.
R. M. White presided; Rev. R. v.
Maloney offered prayer and Rev. W.

HOSPITAL NEEDS.
Public Spirited Women Will Endeav.
 or to Raise Large Fund.

A number of the public spirited wo- men of Waterbury have started a movement to raise a fund to be de voted to the improving and enlarglng of the Waterbury hospital. The fol lowing circular explains the work that Is contemplated:
 Waterbury, Conn, Jan 2s, 1O4.
 Dear Sir: The Waterbury hospital is sadly in need Of more room. Ap- plications from persons able and will ing to pay for treatment are refused admission frequently for lack of ac- commo1ations.
 Three of our citizens and one O.: Naugatuck have promised $S,OOO apiece if $75,OO0 is raised, the sum deemed necessary to enlarge and equip the hospital. We understand that the state legislature will double any amount raised by the people Of this city
 The women of Waterbury will make an effort during the coming year to raise the fund needed, asking corpora tions, private individuals and the gen. eral public for contributions, all pledges made to be contingent upon the full amount being raised.
 The hospital needs a children's ward, maternity ward, mems and wo- mems medical and surgical wards. bet ter laundry facilities, and more rooms for paid patients.
 Will you help us?
 This appeal is being sent to all the corporations in this city, in Naugatuck, Waterville. Watertown, Oakville, Thomaston and Torrington. =

Editor Of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir: What is a man going to do if he be not allowed to make a liv- ing by the use of the implements that God gave to him when he created him. The undersigned are two whom some body, for some imaginary wrong, have placed a boybott on. It can be called seems we will not be allowed to work In Waterbury unless we can get a recommendation, and this we cannot get, because we left our positions for the purpose of bettering ourselves. And this, too, in tho face of the fact that we are not union men. Tn the pO= s1tlons We refer to We were getting S1.62 per day. A change was made and We were given piece work, but were not told the exact price. This went on in this manner for a few days and We decided to quit the work and seek employment elsewhere. Accord ingly seven men left the factory. It wasn't a strike. We simply thought we could do better and left. One of the seven got employment at the Sco- will factory, but after short time he was discharged, with the information that unless he got a recommendation from his former employer he could not work there. This man had to leave, and 1t seems he has no redress, not only that, but he cannot get work in town without a recommendation from his first place of employ yment. Our names are in the offices of most of the factories, so that We are really de prived of making a living. Kindly give these facts to the public and also bring them to the. attention of the fac tory owners and bosses, and perhaps they will see the injustice of it and the hardship 1t is bound to make for us and our families.

NO LABEL NO BALL.
Trouble at Fountain Hose Co.,, An-
 sonia.

! Ansonia, Jan 3O.-The Fountain Hose company ball. scheduled for next week, is off. Dissensions in the com pany have made this step necessary, and the twenty-eighth annual event has been indefinitely postponed. This was done by a pretty evenly balanced vote at special meeting, Thursday night, the majority in favor of the postponement being two
 The difficulty arose over the use of the union label in the printing of the tickets. These were first prepared w14A the label on them, but at a meet ing after the tickets were delivered it was voted to destroy these and issue new ones without the label. In conse- Quence a storm arose, terminating, Thursday night, in a special meeting, with the result stated.
 The meeting of Thursday night was called on the strength of petition by seven mem bers under the bylaws of the company. Thirty five members were present out of the total member ship of forty eight. Foreman John r. Moody presided. Explanations were made of the advanced character of the work of preparation for the ball, of the disappointment that would follow if the event were abandoned in view of the large sale of tickets, and of the expense that would be entailed upon the company when a clear profit was already in sight.
 A motion to reconsider the vote by which the ball had been ordered was made and carried, and this was fol lowed by another motion to indefinitely postpone the ball This motion also prevailed by a vote of IS for postpone ment to 16 against it. Thus the event is off.
 About 250 tickets had already been sold, and the sales of the last few days indicated that the ball of. 1904 was to be the most successful from financial standpoint of any in the his tory of tie company. The money will be refunded to all purchasers of tick cts as fast as the committee can ar range it.
 AS an incident of the meeting I 1nurs- day night, in which opinions were stated with some warmth, Foreman Moody abdicated his office. He ten dered his resignation some weeks ago, but the company declined by vote to accept it. He now retires from the chair. refusing longer to be the head of the organization, though still retain ing his membership in 1t. A new fore man will be chosen at the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday night of next week.
 After the voting was all over and the effect of what had been done was realized, some of those who had voted to break up the ball called upon MT MoodyA to reconvene the meeting and give them a chance to vote on the other side. This MT Moody refused to do, leaving those who felt that they had been wrongly influenced to fight the matter out with their own con sciences.

NUTMEG CRAVINGS.
Interesting Items Boiled Down For
 the Benefit of our Busy Re aders

Charles F. Backus, ex-caShier of the Windham County National Bank, has secured a position as the private secre- tary of Boston man. He will re move his family to Boston at once.
 Robert Huck, of Westport, son of Frank Huck, suffered a fracture of the skull and will probably die as the result of a coasting accident yester- day. The lad was thrown from his sled, striking his head against the trunk of tree. The boy, who is 13 years old.
 Charles Hubbell, a Shelton reeluse, has died at the hospital in Bridgeport from lockjaw, as the result of inatten- ton to bis frozen feet. Hubben's feet were frozen on January 6, and he paid no attention to the fact until the odor became 50 offensive that it was no- ticed when he was in store in Shel- ton. He was then sent to the hospital where it was found necessary to am- putate several of the toes.
 The breaking of porcelain tub in which he was taking a bath has caused a severe injury to Judge of Probate H. O. Bissell of Ridgefeld, formerly a rep raSentative ill the state legislature and well known in western Connecticut. One of his feet was cut deeply by the sharp edge of fragment of the tub so that fragments were severed. He will be confined to his home for some time.
 For some reason or other change has been made in the quarters and the assignment of rooms of the U. s. sol diers who are in New Haven for year to become subjects Of experiments in dieting by Prof R. H. Chittenden of Yale. The soldiers have had their room mates changed in every case and have gone to new rooms extensively in their dormitories on Temple street. The object of the change is not ap- parent.
 Daniel Hanrahan, executor of the estate of Catherine Kennedy has brought suit against Mary A. McClean of Stamford. The plaintiff asks that a deed be given by Mrs Kennedy con veying property valued at $2,0OO to Mrs McClean, may be set aside, alleg- ing fraud on the part of Mrs McClean. Tn the will drawn by Mrs Kennedy in 1891, Mrs Kennedy gave her brother the life use of the estate, which at his death goes to St Johns Roman Catholic Church with the exception of $100 to Father Rogers, a former pas ton, and now in charge of St. Patrick $ parish, Hartford.

AGAINST SUNDAY OPEN DOORS.

Bishop COIton Strongly Opposes SHn-
 day Liquor Traffic.
 BUFFALO, Jan. 3O.-Bishop Coiton of the diocese of Buffalo has announced himself as strongly opposed to the meas ure now pending at Albany for the Sunday opening of saloons in New York city and Buffalo. It is the first time that Bishop Colton as bishop has felt called upon to make a statement through the press on public question. The statement says in part:
 From my standpoint as a Catholic bishop the opening of saloon or place where drink is sold on any part of Sun day is objectionable. It is the spirit of the Catholic church to keep the Lords day day for rest and spiritual observ. ance, and anything that would clash with the religious observance of the day Is something that the Catholic church in this country is opposed to.
 There have been in Europe sad re. suits from the allowing of the sale of intoxtcants on Sundays - namely. it broke in on the religious character of the day, and instead of seeing, as we dc here in America, a quiet restful and religious day it takes the character of day given up to pleasures of every kind and which are ofttimes sinful.
 "Ws should take warning by them and not give way to the small minority, for once our American Sunday is lost to us we shall never, like them, be able to regain it."
