Little, W. Va.

The Little Debating Society met
December IS and held Its weekly
meeting. The house was crowded
far beyond Its seating capacity and
several had to stand up. The pro-
gram was very long and was well
rendered. There were several Wis.
ito;s present from Adonis, Next,
Bert and the surrounding county,
and the visitors took part
iu the exercises, 1t shows the In
terest that Is being taken and with
Interest al will improve In the
literary work, Some of the brain
less people seem to think that the
young people only 90 to have a
good time, we'll they do, but what
our young people call good time
Is educational and religious ad
vancemert. There Is no use to
practice anything unless you try to
improve and we think we are I'm
proving III our work and will not
stop but will still push onward till
We can wear the triumphant crown
that awaits all who will strive to
earn 1t. Some people think they
can gain by waiting for something
to come around, but they will II
end be sadly mistaken. We must
remember the old proverb thai
good never comes to them that
never strive to earn laurels. We
notice that the ready writer OF
Centreville has had spasm and
kicked at Little without a cause.
Now he will just consider what oul
work Is and Is doing he will think
different.
Our society as we said In the be
ginning Is for advancement his
torically and religiously not to teal
down religious bodies as the Cen
terville man tries to Impress upon
the mind of the public, the ques'
ton he said he thought was very
small or little question. 1t Is q
question of deep thought, muct
deeper than either writer can tath
ON. The question was resolved
that the religious denomination:
are today doing more against the
upbuildiug of Christ's Kingdom
than for Its advancement and OF
course to debate the question we
had to have two sides represented
and 1t was proved by the decision
of able judges that the church peo-
pie were not doing for God anc
man what they should, aud by the
argument produced we think the
pretended followers of Christ
should follow the path of the Mas
ter little closer, and that the man
from Centreville walk little near
er the path than he does, aud his
chances for crown will be bright
er. The people of Little admire
Christians bat detest people who
pretend to be and are not. That Is
the class OF people who some tern
hypocrites. They all seem to know
that class of people, they may have
had some OF them to deal with ir
the past and have learned theil
ways. Now we do not mean to dc
any thing against Christianity but
according to the Holy writ woe be
unto the hypocrite.

TRINITY CHURCH GUILD.


Splendid Address on Need of Assistance
in Eastern Connecticut.
The Young Women's Guild Of Trinity
church held their monthly missionary
meeting yesterday afternoon. The Len
ten work of the guild is to be devoted
to the mission work in eastern Connec-
ticut.
Linus M. Hardy, archdeacon of New
London, spoke at Trinity parish house
last night on the missionary work of
eastern Connecticut. He has nearly all
of the state east of the Connecticut
river to look after and reports an i'm
provement during the past few years.
He paid tribute to the memory of the
late DR.. Hutchins, who made such a
careful study of conditions as they ac-
tually existed. He told of six places
where there are no Protestant churches,
and where the Episcopal church has
made great Roadway in the past two
or three years. The clergy and two
archdeaconesses are reaching out in
parishes and endeayoring to bring the
people in touch with the church. The
good done by the deaconess, Miss Rob
erts, has resulted in the preparing Of
a. class of forty for confirmation and
seven adults are to be baptised. The
deaconesses, said the speaker, are
working with might and main, but this
work cannot be done without money.
There are six chapels and nine clergy
for all this region where the ground
is already. We are working for our
state.
In Putnam there are 1000 Inhabitants,
Of which 1900 are French Canadians.
Away from the manufacturing districts
old Yankee stock stagnates and there is
a lack of ambition. The Roman Catho-
lies do no work among the old settler
stock. The Lutherans are divided into
a high and low church. The high
church have become Swedish Congre-
gationaIists. In Sweden marriages are
not considered valid performed by any
other than Church of England, Roman
Catholic, and lately the Episcopal ser
vice has been acknowledged as regards
property rights, all of which has a de-
moralizing effect Mr.. Hardy was given
vote of thanks by the ladies of the
guild. He acknowledged their previous
donations of garments, told of the good
which they had done, and that they
were distributed without distinction to
the needy poor.
The work covers all of the eastern
part of the state of Connecticut.
The meeting was largely attended and
much interest was manifested. The
need os workers in this field of labor
was very much emphasized

INTERESTING HEARING.

In the Kimberly Avenue Bridge Matter.
A notable witness summoned by the
town of Orange in it's dispute with New
Haven over the new Kimberly avenue
bridge, now on trial before Judge Thay-
er in the superior court, was former
Mayor Joseph B. Sargent, who yester-
day denounced the Consolidated rail-
road for placing the city in a position
where it is obliged to pay the same
freight rates as Worcester, Springfield,
and Boston, and other places four times
as far from New York.
Although unimpassioned in his utter
ance. Mr.. Sargent spoke very feelingly
and declared that New Haven was be-
ing sacrificed to the monopoly created
by the railroad, which was gradually
forcing its rivals out of the marine
transportation line. and would soon be
in entire control of the shipping situa-
ton between the Elm City and other
points. This situation, he believed,
could in some measure be relieved by
opening the West river to unrestricted
traffic. an end which could not be ac-
complished without movable bridge in
the place of the present structure
Following William A. Wright to the
stand Mr.. Sargent asserted that he has

The Chinese scholars of the First M

ing seriously. This is most delight
full occasion, and the teachers ought to
be greatly congratulated. He wished
the Chinese scholar would come to the
prayer meetings, so that they could be
seen and heard there. This is a noble
work. This is higher Christian work
and finds its elimination in Jesus, who
so unifies and cheers, offering to the
east and to the west this great chance
of growing in Christian usefulness.
Messrs. Baldwin, Cowles, Wright and
Bartholomew also made congratulatory
remarks, and vote of thanks was
heartily given to the entertainers, and

SPRING ATHLETIC MEETS.

Outlook for Yale and Harvard's Work
College trainers are already beginning
to figure on the coming intercollegiate
team meeting. which viii be held for
the first time at Franklin field. Phila-
delphia, instead Of at Berkeley oval. as
heretofore.
The contest this spring promises to be
more exacting than last year. when
Harvard and Yale were the chief con-
testants. Some of the other colleges
have point winners, and either Cornell
or Princeton may gain second place.
Yale starts the year with seven men
left who won 2 IL points last year. The
losses are Moulton, who was second in
the hundred and two-tWenty; Beck,
who won the shot put; Thomas, third
in the low hurdles; Alexander, third in
the high jump, and Fulton. third in the
broad jump. Yale starts the year with
Capt. Clapp, winner of the high and low
hurdles; Olcott, second in the mile; Nc
Lanahan, second in the pole vault:
Adriance, who tied for fourth place
with Horton of Princeton in the pole
vault; Harris and Shevlin, third and
fourth, respectively, in the hammer
throw; Bowman, fourth in the broad
jump, and Long, fourth in the two
twenty. The loss is, therefore, 10 points
and since the freshmen have not shown
any particular ability, Yale's outlook
for a successful track team is only
moderate
Harvard loses only six point winners,
who added % to her total in 1903, in
Lightner, fourth in the hundred and
first in the two-twenty; Converse, Sec
ond in the high hurdles; Haight, first,
and Clark. fourth, in the quarter mile:
Herman, first in the high jump; Behr.
second in the half, and Baur, fourth in
the high hurdles. The men who are
still in College are Colwell. winner of
the mile: Schoenfuss and Robinson,
second and third, respectively, in the
shot put, and Shick. third in the hum
dred and two-twenty.
Cornell retains men who won Is
points last year, and loses only McNee-
kin, fourth in the mile and Rogers,
third In the quarter-mile. Princeton
loses Horton, who tied for fourth place
in the pole vault with Adriance of Yale,
and keeps men who won II points last
year. Syracuse, which scored IL points
with three men, is fortunate in having
them all back again, and may be count
ed on to increase their total. The same
is true of Georgetown, which scored 8
points with Duffy and Reilly, both be-
ing back at the university this year.
Amherst loses Foster, who scored Sec
ond place in the broad jump, but Hub
bard, who won the event, is still in coll
| lege, as is also her speedy half-miler,
Taylor. Newell, who scored two points
for Williams by winning third place in
the half-mile, is back again.
Pennsylvania has no point winners
r left from last year, but she has excep-
tionally good new material, among
which are Dear in the sprints, Amsles
in the hurdles, and Orten in the halt
mile.
OF all the new men this year, how
ever, the most important is Sears of
Cornell He ran in the 100 and 22O yard
dashes two years ago, but did not com-
pete last year, owing to scholarship
conditions. In 1902 he repeatedly ran
the 100 yards in 94-5 second and the
220 yards in 81 3-5. second.

been a resident Of New Haven since
1853, having been mayor Of the city
during the period fram 1890 TO 1894. He
is familiar with the West river and has
observed the commerce thereon.
Equally in favor Of movable bridge
was Mr.. Wright, although he preferred
a lift bridge 10 a draw, as obyiating
the erection Of a center pier.
As practical seaman John f. Maher
took The stand, and described the
launching Of between thirty-five and
sorty vessels from Thompson's ship
ward. West Haven, where he has been
employed for years. In the lot were
many vessels Of from 800 to 1000 tons,
with five four-masted schooners Of 2,444
tons burden each. No difficulty was
experienced On any occasion.
An open bridge means the saving OF
the river" said Mr.. Maher, positively
re you don't want the river, put up
a fixed bridge. If you want to keep and
use the river. put up a movable struc-
ture.''
This sentiment was heartily endorsed
by Judge Samuel J. Bryant.
Contrary to expectation MI. bpsh oc-
cupied the entire morning with his wit
nesses. among whom are such represent
tative New Haven residents as Max
Adler, and George B. Martin, president
Of the Union league.
For New Haven the witnesses were
principally engineers and others compe-
tent to speak on the technical points of
the controversy.
The taking of evidence was concluded
shortly before o'clock yesterday after
noon and the case was then adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning for the ar
guments.
