DAY OF RARE SPORT.
The Temperance Field Day Will Bring nany Crack Athletes Here.

That the athletes of the country are interested in the coming track events of the c. T. A. U. to be held ill Wa terbury Saturday, June Is, Is easily seen by the large number of inquiries received by the local society in relation to the matter.
 Such questions as what kind of a track have you got in Waterbury What is the best record for such and such an event in Waterbury? and many other questions of similar na- ture keep the committee on sports busy answering them.
 St Joseph's T. A. society, who have the parade and field day in charge,are going to endeavor to have every male society in the state represented by a track team or by individuals. The track events will take place at the Waterbury Driving park and will be run under the rules of the A. 4A. U. It must be understood thEt all athletes | must be registered as amateurs to compete in the different track events. Tn case there are any persons who de- sire to take part in the events and whose names do not appear on the roll of the Amateur Athletic union, appli- cation should be made to J. Frank Facy, Cambridge, Mass, who has charge of this section of the A. A. U. The amount charged for registration in the A. A. U Is twenty-five cents, and said sum must accompany the ap- kplication.
 In case the person applying for re- gistration is not a member of any ath- letic club, he must procure the en- dorsement of three reputable citi- zens of the locality In which he re- sides.
 No member of the St Joseph's T. A. society of this city under whose aus pices the meet takes place, will be al- lowed to compete In any of the events or to act as an official. The society intends to secure for judges only those men who have had considerable eX- perience in track events. The prizes will consist of gold, silver and bronze medals, first, gold: second, silver; third. bronze.
 All entries together with entry fees must be filed with the secretary of the sport committee on blanks furnish ed by him, not later than June H.
 The entry fee will be fifty cents for first event and twenty-five cents for each additional event.
 The committee on sports will be only too well pleased to furnish any desired information in relation to the track events. All correspondence should be addressed to committee on sports, F. o. box 581, Waterbury, Conn.
 For the benefit of athletes in Water bury who intend to compete in the diff ferent events and who are not already enrolled ill the ranks of the A. A. U. the society wishes to announce that they can secure registration blanks at their club house on East Main street.

BRYAN ADDRESSES.
 WOMAN'S CLuR

Chicago, May William J. Bryan has addressed the Hull House Wo- mans club on "The Value of Ideals" An idea, he said, measures the differ ence between success and failure, be- tween noble life and wasted exist ence Everyone, he said, should have lan ideal so high as to keep one con- stantly looking up. and far enough in advance to keep one constantly push ing forward. An ideal that corlS be overtaken, he declared, was small ideal.
 Political parties, according to MT Bryan, should strive for the highest ideals rather than for temporary vic tory at the polls. America, hei said, had followed an ideal that had taught men to protect her rights; 1t should labor to achieve an ideal that would teach the nations of the world to re- spect the rights Of others. A great navy was denounced as tax upon the people an incentive to all the na- tions to excel in battle equipment be- yond ali limit.

TO CONTINUE ONE WEEK.
General Session of Presbyterians to
 he Held at Greenville.

Greenville, Pa. May 23.-The forty first annual meeting of the United Presbyterian General assembly of North America will convene in the First United Presbyterian church next Wednesday and the session will con tinue for one week.
 The meeting promises to become one of the most interesting that the body has held since the organ question was decided. Many important questions of vital interest to the church will be considered. Action on the adoption of the new membership covenant is expected to bring out the strongest discussion that has occupied the body for many years. The matter of an advance movement in foreign mission ary fields will bring forth a well work ed out plan for sending of five hun dred new missionaries into foreign fields.
 Another question will be the union of the United Presbyterian church with the Associated Reformed church of the south. The only objection to this union likely to arise is the historic att tftude of the church on the slavery question. This may prove a stumbling block.
 The election of moderator will de- yelop friendly contest in which per- sBBsonalities will count for much. The leading candidates for the office in- clude Dr J. W. Witherspoon of Ale gheny, pr T. B. Turnbull of PhiIadel- phia, Dr M. s. McCord of Boston, and Dr w. A. Mackenzie of New York city.

DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Preparing for the Democratic Con.

Columbus, O., May 23.-Leaders are In conference here to-day preparatory to the democratic state convention of the next two days. Nothing seems to be settled in advance, except that Webb F. Huntington of Columbus will De the candidate for secretary of state. He is unopposed.
 The Hearst men have for weeks been contending in Ohio for district dele gates to the national convention at St Louis and for county delegates to the state convention here this week, but they have failed to get a majority of either, so that there will not be such a contest as had been expected The Hearst men are now in favor of an un- instructed delegation. This would give them the district delegates they have secured while instructions and the unit rule would prevent them from getting any votes from Ohio at St Louis. It seems probable that the convention will not instruct
 Owing to the large number Of con- tests to be heard there is some talk If bolting convention, but it is thought that tAese threats will cease after the district meetings and the committee sittings tomorrow night.

THIS CASE SETTLED.
Watertown People Bring Suit Against
 a Collecting Company

Sheriff Gillette on Saturday evening served notice of a suit for $l,oOo dam ages upon Charles E. NeWDury ana James V. Reed. co-partners i'll a busi- ness situated ill the Citizens bank building and known as the Merchants Reporting and Collecting Co; also an injunction issued by Judge CoWel pre- venting them from negotiating a note given them by Charles J. Barker and wife of WatertoWn for $2oO, and from selling stock of the value of $1,11o in the Connecticut Loan and Realty Co of Hartford, also given them by MT and ATS Barker, who were plaintiffs s in the suit. Judge Peasley represented Ar and Mrs Barker, and the suit was made returnable to the superior court the first Tuesday in June. A fraud writ was also issued against NeWDuMy, but instead of arresting him he was merely taken to Judge Peasley's ot1ce, where the transaction came to rapid end. Newbury saw that he was Ill bad fix and he returned the note TOT $200, part of cash sum of $5oo, ana his promise to return the balance ana to surrender the stock.
 According to the complaint the Bar kers gave Newbury and Reed $l l,450 for bag of wind, for it alleges New bury and Reed were conducting col- lectIng agency in Ansonia, and that their office furniture consisted of a few chairs and a desk and that was all the Barkers got, ill fact, for their $1,450. They represented to the Bar kers that their business was worth $3,- QUO a year, that they were the oncial collectors for the business men Of Derby, Shelton and Seymour. On this representation MT Barker was induced to become manager of the office and to pay all the bills, and furthermore he paid over to NeWbury $35O in cash, gave him a note for $2O0 signed by himself and his wife and payable in four months from date, and stock in the above named concern to the value of amount mentioned
 The second paragraph in the com plaint says that there mad been no pro fits from the business during the last five years, nor did the defendants have certain contracts with the business men of the towns mentioned and which they claimed to have. The same para graph says: Nor had said business been conducted honestly and fairly by the defendant, nor was the good will of the business of any value whatever, because the defendants and their pre- decessor, Charles E. Newbury, had
  chants of said town ill an unfair and dishonest manner. nor was said firm and it's business in good standing and repute among the merchants of said towns.
 And paragraph four says sthe de- fendants made false representatio to the Barkers, knowing them to be false, in order to induce them to buy an in terest in the business and to defraud them."
 The settlement of the case stops any further law proceedings. From the contract drawn up between Barker and the defendants it seems that he ap- piled to them for employment. They ega ged him on condition that he would take financial interest in the busi- ness. He dld not seem to think that he was giving too much for his whistle un- til all the papers in the agreement had been drawn TID
