By invitation of the Methodist church society of Stratford, Dr. George L. Beardsley, of Derby, delivered his ad- dress on the liquor problem in that place last Sunday evening. A most appreciative audience greeted the speaker, and at the conclusion of the lecture pr. Beardsley was the recipient of numerous flattering comments on the evenings effort The pastor, Rev. MT. Eggleston, was particularly emphatic in his public expression of the merits of the address.
 The popularity of this lecture is un- usual and it is to be hoped Dr. Boards ley will soon gratify his many friends in Derby by giving them the opportu- nity of hearing it in this city.-Ansonia Sentinel.

STOKES IMPROVING ISLAND.
CONTRACTOR WARDWELL TO
 BUILD 4 BREAKWATER.
Summer Home at GreycIiffe--Bathing Beach and Sheltered Cove for Boats to be Provided.

James Graham Phelps Stokes, the young millionaire of New York, who is a contestant for the office of President of the Board of Aldermen, has just closed a contract with engineer Fred reiek s. Wardwell, for the construction of a breakwater at Waite Island, orr Wallacks Point of Greycliffe, as the new corners have called 1t. with more regard for euphony than veneratlon for the famous actor who spent a good many years down there. This is the first contract that MT. Stokes has giv- en out, although he has plans made for other extensive improvements and will award contracts for them so that work can be commenced early in the spring,
 Mir Wardwell will commence work on the breakwater as soon as possible. It will take about three months to build it. The object of building. it is to pro- vide a bathing beach and sheltered place for boats. It is understood that MT. Stokes intends to build rather a small cottage on the island. It is pos sible to drive out to the island at low tide, but when the tide is high it is a full-fedged island It will make 8 cosy little summer home, and has at fractions which appeal greatly to a man of MT Stokes taste.
 MT Stokes was candidate for Pres ident of the Board of Alderman of New York on the Hearst ticket. A bill was introduced in the legislature at AL bany, this week providing for re- count of the vote in the mayoralty con- test. If the bill is passed, and re- count made, there is a possibility that the Hearst candidates may eventually be seated. Then if Hearst runs for governor, as he will in all probability, the mayor of New York would be James Graham Phelps Stokes, and the little island in Wescotts Cove might wake up some fine morning to find it. self a rival of Oyster Bay. MT. Stokes is a very radical democrat and Waite Island happens to be in the Second Ward.-Stamford Advocate.

SAFE FROM SIBERIA
RUSSIAN PRISONER TELLS OF ES-
CAPE IN A CA5K.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE doors
through which the passengers of the Penn
sylvania railroad pass to the ferries trans
porting them to New York were besieged
yesterday afternoon by several hundred
Jewish socialists and members of the Rus
sian revolutionary party who wished to
greet Gregory Gerschunn, also known as
Andreiwitch. once head of the terrorists.-
Gerschunin was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in Siberia for completely in the
assassination of Sipia Gune, minister of the
interior, two years ago. He escaped this
year from the silver mines of Akatui, on
the Mongolian frontier of Siberia, hiding
in a cask supposed to contain nothing but
cabbage. His compatriots took him from
the cask and he was smuggled into Japa-
neSe territory, whence he recently sailed
for San Francisco, arriving there several
weeks ago.
committee of fourteen representative
Russian Jewish radicals, DR.. Paul S. Kap-
lan DR.. S. NJ. Jacobs, Abe Cohen, editor of
Vorwaerts; Editor Miller of Warheit, j. A.
Benequit and 0. s. Pollock, went to Phila-
deiphia in the morning expecting to greet
the revolItionist there. His train was very
late and they returned to Jersey City and
waited until he got there at 5:15 D. m. A
throng of commuters returning to their
Jersey homes helped to swell the crowd
that cheered and waved hats and handker-
aboard rolled into the station.
The uniformed man in charge of the
gate was nearly swept off his feet by the
rush of the crowd toward the revolutionist
as he appeared in the long landing in
closure. Women kissed his garments, in
the Jewish fashion, the men, more Ameri-
canized, and less impulsive, patted him on
the back.
The crowd massed about him, cheering
and yelling, and bore him first toward the
ferry slip of the Cordandt street boat
Then the impulse of the crowd changed,
and it surged, with the delighted but we'll
squeezed revolutionist revolving, as he
never had before, toward the big Jersey
City waiting room.
There Gerschunn was lifted on a bench
so that all his comrades might see him
and cheered Justify. He is apparently
about forty, somewhat bald. gray eyed and
intellectual looking. He said few words
IN Russian, holding his right hand to his
mouth as If he were shouting an order from
the bridge of ship. He said he rejoiced in
being in land where he was not constant
ly under espionage, where he was sure no
one was following him. where he might
utter his thoughts without fear of either
persecution or pyosecution-in the land of
real freedom of Speech.
He wound up by eXclaiming Long live
the revolution!' and was whirled and toss
ed in the human eddy out through the
waiting room door to the ferry landing
The ferry ticket collectors, after a vain eff
fort to stem the tide, stood aside and let
the crowd reform on the upper deck of the
ferry boat.
