 were written for the Worlds Christian

 To meet at last in Thee. our Home. Thou who hast been our guide and guard Be still our hope, our rich reward. Defend us, Lord, from every i'll. Strengthen our hearts to do Thy will. In all we plan and all we do Still keep us to Thy service true.

Thou who art Tru tn, each mind control Open our eyes and make us see | The pa h which leads to heaven and Thee.

Gedde's place north of MT Osborne's, is also a very pleasant place with nice shade trees and lawn about the house and the little hill just back of the house affords one of the finest views in this part of the state. There is fine water on the place, lots of nice fruit and in every way it is a very desirable place for a summer home. The railroad facilities here are fine either from New York, Bridge. port or New Haven and the location is only about five minutes walk from the station. One must see the fine views and the high location to appreciate what beautiful place it is to spend the summer.

HORSE AND AUTOMOBILE HAvEA RACE.
 One day last week one of D. D. Joyce s horses was eding beside the road in front of his house, when an it. The horse evidently made up his mind that a race would decide which could cover the ground fastest, so they both started for the Iron Works. The horse, keeping the middle of the road, had his eye most of the time on his rival. The horse reached the Iron Works first and won the race, crossing the bridge and going to the new barn of the Sturdevant store. The "autO" proceeded on it's way to New Milford. The race caused quite a little excite ment along the route.

MIR. COLEMAN SAID NO.
But Nevertheless He Had PROMULGATED
legal Opinion

Attorney General Coleman yesterday
gave an opinion on the new Juvenile
court law, as requested by H. C. Bow
man of the state board of control
Mr.. Coleman holds that the law is
valid.
When Mr.. Coleman was asked
about IL o'clock Friday noon whether
| he had given out any opinions, he
said:
mo opinions of any Importance
whatever have been given out today"
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
| Coleman appreciates the real value OF
| his opinions about legal matters.
The feature of the opinion is that
! it is decided by Mr.. Coleman that pro-
bate courts have the right to sentence
children to industrial schools. He
says:
at is true that the supreme court
in the case of In re Stokes held that
only courts of record and probate
courts could commit to the industrial
and reform schools, not because OF
any lack of constitutional power in
| justices of the peace, but because the
law providing for the sentence to the
reform school did not vest the justice
court with power to commit. If this
act, in its terms, is sufficient to con-
fer upon the juvenile court authority
| to commit 10 the reform and industrial
schools. 1 think the court has that
power regardless of whether or not
| it be court of record. The difficulty
pointed out in the Stokes case was
with the law and not with the court.
1.-THE specific Withholding of au-
thority to commit to the state reform
atory appears to me, by the clearest
implication to point out that It is the
meaning Of the statute that the courts
may commit to the other Institutions.
1t is possible that constitutional ques-
lions nay arise as to the jurisdiction
of these courts in criminal cases, but
do not believe it is incum bent upon
the board nor upon this department.
to solve those constitutional questions
Ample provisions for appeal are made
and trial by jury and by courts OF
general jurisdiction can thus be OBJ
tanned"

an anxious moment for Odessa as the

signals which read: yield or be
sunk

TAFT HEARS THE NEWS
Death of Secretary Hay May Interfere
With Trip to Philippines.

Cincinnati, July IA Times-Star
special from Benwood, w. Va, says:
Secretary of War Taft, whose train
arrived here today en- route to San
Francisco and the Philippines, ex-
pressed the utmost sorrow at the death
of Secretary Hay. He said he did not
know whether to return to Washing
ton or not and that he would wire the
president Immediately, making plans
for the future that would meet with
the approval of the chief executive"
Start for the Philippines.
Washington, July William H.
Taft, secretary Of war. accompanied by
a distinguished party, including mem
berS of both houses of congress, army
officers. the daughter of the president,
Miss Alice Roosevelt and others, be-
gan the journey to the Philippines last
night. The party embarked in two
special cars on the regular Chicago
train over the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road. At the station to say goodby
were the French ambassador and
Madame Jusserand, Mr.. Takahira, the
Japanese minister; the assistant secre-
tary of war, Mr.. Oliver; General and
Mrs. Chaffee and numerous other
friends of the party.
Although Secretary Taft expects to
have relief from the arduous duties
of the last few months in his absencs.
the trip is one of official inspection and
many matters of administration will
be considered. In Chicago he will
meet and confer with John F. Stevens,
who was appointed to succeed Chief
Engineer Wallace of the Panama canal
commission. He will also confer with
w. A. Darling, with whom negotia-
lions are pending to take the place
of Mr.. Stevens, who was to have been
member of the Philippine party and
remain in the islands in charge of the
construction of railroads. Should pres
ent negotiations prove satisfactory Mr..
Darling may accompany the secre-
tary.
A stay of four days will be made in
San Francisco. which is to be reach ed
July 4. An important consideration in
the Philippines, to which Secretary
Taft will give his attention, is the per-
lection of title to many acres of the
friar lands, which is still considered
cloudy, and by reason of which the
purchase price of the lands of the
whole Dominican order is being with
held.
An interesting feature of the trip will
be the call of the secretary on the en-
peror of Japan at Toxic. The Japanese
minister here has assured the secretary
that his government is DESTROYS of ex-
tending every courtesy possible. The
secretary's response to this was that he
well understood that the palace would
be vacated by the imperial family on
account of the summer season at the
time of his visit to Toxic and that his
call would simply be the formal card
CALI of respect. Three months are to
be consumed in the trip, including a
stay of a week in Manila and a trip
around the islands, occupying ten days.
