SUNDAY AT THE '. M. c. \.
INTERESTING ADDRESSES DI-
 LIVERED YESTERDAY.

Rev. W. H. Wood of Toronto. Canada,
 speaks on Mans Inner Life History
 -The Story of King sauI-Rey. o. R.
 Miller of Washington, D. c. Also
 Spoke.
 Yesterdays mems meeting in the Foy auditorium was an especially attractive one. The association male quartette, consisting of Messrs Dodds, Gardiner, Gessner and Pratt, sang three selec- tions which were much enjoyed. Rev. O. R. Miller, of Washington. D. C., who spoke in the Trinity M E. church in the morning, was introduced and spoke about ten minutes on the work of the National Return Bureau, whose head quarters are at Washington and whose object islto secure the passage of moral measures by congress and to defeat bad Legislation there.
 The speaker of the afternoon was Rev w. H. Wood, of Toronto. Ontario, who based his address on first Samuel, 1914, "Now the spirit of Jehovah de- parted from Saul and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him.
 In every life, said the speaker in substance, ifs some secret unseen by the world. Men can easily read the ex- ternal history of a. man. but the inner life, with it's conflicts, is seen and fully understood by God. who looketh not on the outward appearances
 Saul started out to make a success of life. and it would seem that every thing was in his favor. He was head and shoulders above all others; he had a good family backing opportunities opened up to him. He was given a kingship and, added to all, he had courage and bravery. But his life was not equipped thoroughly for success until he had met Samuel. the man of God, who told him of the plans God had for him.
 No life is complete without God in it. God calls you and me to kingship. to sopship. The epic in mans life is when God crosses his path and is taken into the life of that man"
 The speaker showed. as he proceeded, how Saul made a failure through diso- bedience to God. No man can afford | to live a double life, for sooner or later he like Saul, will be found out.''

oHRIsrMAs SUGGESTIONS.
washburn's Long List of Practical and
 Tasteful Goods.

Tasteful Goods.
 A long list of tasteful and at the same time practical suggestions for the buy CTS of Christmas gifts is that prepared by D. L. Washburn & Co. of Church and Center streets. A complete line of the best leather goods. toilet sundries and optical goods supplemented by a virtually innumerable number of ar ticles which make sensible and accept able remembrances to friends are out lined in this abstract but only a visit to their store itself can impress one with the excellence of the stock described. This is one of those stores that are a real credit to the city, and the display of goods is a delight to the visitor. There. is to be found the largest stock in any store of its class in New Eng land outside of Boston. One especially good suggestion for a gift is that of opera glasses and field glasses. Wash burn stands for real merit as is well known in New Haven. Therefore you have no fear when you give your friends gifts that you have bought of Washburn. But this is essentially a store of the entire year. Here you find what you want, not only in Decem- Der but in June or in September. Let us mention the optical department. All work guaranteed This department abounds in eye glasses and spectacles of all kinds and description, in gold, in silver, in shell or in steel. Of course you know glasses for presents are ex- changeable or may be adjusted after Christmas if the lenses are not as re- quired. As a postscript we add, goods bought at Washburn's are unusually satisfactory.

cO-EDS FOREGO MARRIAGE.
lese Women Becoming Wives Are Rapidly Decreasing.

Over four-fifths of the women gradu- ates of the University of Chicago are on the high road to spinsterhood. This ia the startling result of researches con- ducted by Mayo Fesler, who. as general secretary of the Alumni and Alumnae as- sociations of the institution. has com- piled statistics of the university and it's students in the form of general register. covering the first decade of the univer- sity's history. The figures do not include the women who have taken higher de- grees, but only those who have completed the undergraduate courses and who, therefore, might be expected to be win- some enough to tempt the heart of the average man.
 The register contains the names of 698 women who have received bachelor degrees from 1893 to 1902 inclusive. The fate of these coeds Is shown by the fol- lowing percentage table:
 Percentage women married .............. .ls Percentage women teachers. .N Percentage women "at homs".............31
 An examination of tho table for each class shows that the chances of the ex. co-eds for becoming wives are steadily growing less. The first class that gradu- Ated in 1893 contained three women and all of them married. The next class had nine feminine members and not one of them has yet entered the bonds of matri- mony. The class of 1895 has higher percentage and then comes the class of 1sy6 with a marriage percentage of B among it's women members. From that time there has been steady decrease.

SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.
Inhabitants of Indiana Town Organ. ize Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af- flicted people call them, lately struck Jeffexsonvile, Ind, in full force, and Instances arescited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb ruary, 1884, but they have never been so bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like a snail. but resem ble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city. where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from one to six inches in length, being from a quarter to an inch in diameter. It ii not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places. under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest. and when a slug is found it's days are numbered. for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind a slimy track, that furnishes a clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid. One of the most peculiar character istics of the slugs is their ability to get
 
 space. They fatten out almost as thin as knife blade. allowing them to crawl through goodsized door crack.

COURTS CHARGE
 TO TWO JURIES.
Judge Allen Hughes Defines Du- ties of Grand and Petit Ju-
 TOTS in Opening Charges.

boro, whopresides at the Septem- Der term of circuit court in the absence of Hon. F. D. Fulkerson, owing to the latter's i'll health, delivered a charge to the grand and petit juries, which is gener- ally regarded by members of the bar as one of the ablest exposi- tions of the duties of jurors ever rendered in the courts of this section.
 Judge Hughes is not only a young looking man, but a young man in point of years. In his court deliverances, both in style and subject matter, he impress es the nearer as jurist of expe- rience, whose vigorous, yet con- servative expressions bear the stamp of a mature mind drilled in actual practice.
 In addressing the grand jury he urged upon them as enforcers of the law and public servantsas much as officials elected for a term of years, close and care full inquiry into infractions of the law, distinguishing between that disregard and violation of it's pre- visions which becomes criminal and that for which pecuniary damages must satisfy the wrong.
 Stress was laid upon the in- junction that all party and re- ligious, race and factional feel ing be disregarded in their inves- tigations, and that even friend ship had no right to expect other than an impartial searching af- ter the truth. The rights of all were the same under the law, and as public servants they should do their full duty, untram- meled by personal obligations or feelings.
 The speaker referred to the re- cent trouble in Crittenden coun- ty, where warning political fac tions had threatened riot and bloodshed, and as a protection against such conditions, he be- lieved the statute against the carrying of concealed weapons, so commonly disregarded, should be ,rigidly enforced and prosecu- tions brought wherever the law had been violated. The remedy he found not in the severity of the penalty for it's infraction, but the certainty of conviction for the offense.
 There were a score of other good points touched upon in a convincing manner by the court, and to the petit jury, his honor made an equally effective and in- sstructive charge.
 To the latter body, the finality of whose decisions from which there is no appeal upon their finding of the facts, though the court might err and be reversed by the higher tribunals on inter- pretation of the law, he urged the importance of their duties, that while the grand jury might charge, it fell to them to deter mine the guilt of the defendant. And in civil cases, with them rested the property rights of a citizen as set forth under the law, which was ever to be up- held. The jurors idea of jus tice was not to be consulted; he must determine the facts and follow the law of the state which was the embodied wisdom of
 ses and most nearly represented
 lstice in all cases. It was the aw which citizen must respect
 i'd feel that he and his property
 terests were safely guarded
 ereby. and whether he be
 ack or white, a native or non-
 sident, corporation or individ-
 l, his rights under a common
 W were the same. Upon the
