ADDRESS BY AMMAN.
Henry Benedict, of This City, Spoke in
 Danbury Sunday.

Henry Benedict, of This City, Spoke in
 Danbury Sunday.
 Henry Benedict, of New Haven, a prominent layman of the Methodist Episcopal church, made an address at the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning in place of the usual sermon by the pastor. His topic was "Perma- nency," and the central thought was that material happiness founded upon purely earthly delights was but tenn porary, and only that is permanent which is eternal and spiritual.
 He emphasized three important thoughts by precept and apt story illus trations. They were: The brevity of pleasure, the utility of philosophy in the midst of diversity, and the value of permanency.
 What is important?" he asked.
 "Our own spiritual and moral devel- opment; our own mental progress; our physical training; our duty to see that everything is done to help ourselves along the line of spiritual progress; to help the spiritual and moral condition of others; assistance in intellectual ad-
 
 vancement interest in the physical and material condition of our fellows. It is our duty not to live a selfish life. How efficient are we and what are we doing in the church? There's something to do in this world beside look. We must work"
 At the conclusion of the address a class of seventeen persons was received into the church on probation.
 The pastor of the church, Rev. Arthur J. Smith, conducted the services, assist ed by Miss Mae B. Lord, the evangelist, who made an eloquent prayer. At the conclusion of the address by MT. Bene- dict the pastor called to the altar the expected class of probationers and also gave an invitation to others who wished to make the same stand. Miss Lord also made a brief appeal, Seventeen persons responded, all adults. They were given the right hand of fellowship by the pastor and were also welcomed by Miss Lord.-Danbury News.

YEsYERD4T1S STOCK MARKE4.
Violent Movements in Few Stocks Dealings Rise to Over Million shares

Violent Movements in Few Stocks
 Dealings Rise to Over Million Shares
 New York, Feb. 13,AThe violent movements in few stocks to-day were made to seem like froth on the sur face of the market, owing to the com parative sluggishness of the general level of the market. The irregular movement varied from slow hardening to a heavy yielding, without any large activity to account for either tendency. Dealings, however, rose to over a mill lion shares for the first time in over a week. The efferveseenee of the few ac- tive stocks had some effect In holding the general list, which showed signs that it would have been heavy other wise.
 The buoyant outbreaks were in much the same quarters in which they have previously occurred. The conviction among spectators seemed to have gained force over the Sunday and holi- day interval that a merger of the cop- per properties was imminent and there seemed to be distressed short interest WilOSG iitCtSDillCp dQuEd u LllC 1dClllby with which the prices in that group were rushed up. Anaeonda fairly reach ed the 300 mark and recovered again to that level the second time after the re- action, thus voicing the most extrava gant predictions of the speculators in the stock. The Hill Paeifes and Chi cago Northwesterns took another up- o,1 fios, If mors regarding the developments oc- curing in those properties, especially that pointing to a disposition of the Burlington which would involve the re- tirement of the joint collateral bonds issued against it's stock, leaving that stock a free asset for the controlling companies. Reading again justified it's claim to place in this company. The movement in New York Central was less impressive, and so with others in decreasing degree.
 It was not difficult to discern that the growing volume of new bond and capi- tai issues was the principal influence on the conservative spirit developing in the speculation. With the New York bank surplus down to less than s6, ,OOO,- 900, and with inroads still making upon the cash reserves of the banks, it could not well be otherwise than that notice should be taken by spectators of the outlook thus indicated Money rates were appreciably firmer all around. Re newed anxiety over the Moroccan con- ference and the legislative measures, both in Pennsylvania and at Washing ton, looking to inquiry into the coal carrying railroads were not helpful to the speculation.
 An incident of the day was a rise in the price of silver to level higher than had yet been touched on the present advance. There were some extraordi- nary favorable statements of gross earnings by railroads for the first week

TAFT FOR PRESIDENT.

Yale Alumni at Washington Propose
 Him at Banquet.
 At the annual Yale alumni banquet in Washington Monday evening the un- dertone, half jocular, half i'll earnest, that ran through all the toasts and re- sponses was the candidacy for the pres- idency of Secretary of War Taft.
 Justice Brewer in the first speech of the evening, referred to MT. Taft as the man who sat upon the lid in the presi- dents absence, and as the man the American people have since decided the right man to sit on the whole cover. Other speakers alluded to the secretary, and the secretary himself referred hu- morously to his nomination and election by the Yale men.

BIG POLICY RAID.

Sergeant Gibson Descends Upon Old
 Beefsteak Club Quarters.
 Sergeant Gibson, of the central pre- cinct, accompanied by Officer Heenan and Court Interpreter Nicolari, who is also a deputy sheriff, raided policy shop in the old quarters of the Beef steak club on Crown street, over Greg son alley, shortly before 1 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, arresting Richard Greenwood, the alleged proprietor, who was locked up at police headquarters, charged with keeping policy shop and gaming. He was released last evening on bonds.
 The old quarters of the Beefsteak club were recently renovated and re- furnished, and it is stated that policy shop has been running there for nearly a week.
 From the number of men co-operat- ing in the raid and the fact that the af- fair was carried on by several squads 1t is evident that the raid covered perhaps the whole field of policy playing in this city.
