 Motto: God is our Refuge and Strength. ''
 Badge: A Bow of White Rib- bon.
 Time of Prayer: Noontide.
 Officers:
 Mrs. w. B. Waller, president.
 Mrs. Chas. F. Pittman, record ing secretary.
 Mrs. H. A. Sykes, Treasurer.
 Mrs. w. w. Rice, correspond ing secretary.
 Next meeting December 14th with Mrs. H. Stainton. This meeting was to have been held with Mrs. Chas. F. Pittsman, but she will be out of the city, hence the change.
 Let us not forget the w. c. T. U. in our Christmas giving. Give somebody the. Union Signal, our official organ, that you may be kindly remembered ffty-two times the coming year. Give your preacher the Signal and his children the Crusader Monthly. Nothing so moulds lives as the things we read, hence let us scatter good literature.
 This should be one of the best meetings of the year. It will not only be the last meeting in the year 1906, but 1t will mark a milestone of that wonderful cru sade in which women first meas ured steps from their home and church to the saloon. Women who had been tenderly reared and guarded had endured the encroachments of the legalized liquor traffic until endurance ceased to be virtue. So in the Presbyterian Church in Hillsboro, Ohio, in 1873 a company of wo- men, led by Mrs. Judge Thomp- son, went forth singing their battle hymn, Fling to the winds thy fears; hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head. '
 Do we wonder at their pro- gress? With Gods word as their helmet and this song of victory as their inspiration, we are not surprised that they have girdled the earth with the ribbon white and all it stands for. No wonder Frances Willard gave expression

 An effort was made to keep the con- tents of the report from the sick man, but learning the statement had been filed he worried so much over the mat ter that it was decided early last week to permit him to see it. The recom- mendations in the report demanding from him a fuller accounting of the legislative work than he had made, are said to have been crushing blow to the company's former president He decared to his family and to his intim- ate friends who saw him that he was determined to get well, that he wanted to liveto set himself right before the American people. The strain was too much, however, and from that time Mr. McCalrs decline was rapid.
 John A. Mccall was born in Albany, N. Y, March 2, 1S49. He entered the insurance business early in life, and in 1886 was appointed state insurance commissioner by Grover Cleveland, who was then governor. He rellnquished that position to become comptroller of the Equitable Life Assurance society, which post he held until he became president of the New York Life Insur- ance company in 1892.

THE NEW HAVEN ROAD
REDUCES FARE ON BERK SHIRE
 DIVISION.
Voluntarily Cuts on Half Cent Mile Other Reductions May Follow if Expedient - Grants Also Higher Wages to Employees.

At the meeting of the directors of the New Haven road at New York Sat urday afternoon a proposition to re- duce the rate of fare on one branch line of the road in this state one-half a cent a mile was approved, and Pres!- X dent Mellen was instructed to investi- gate and report on the advisability of @ similar reduction on other branch lines running out of the city. In addi- ton to this radical concession to the public against the earning power of the company, plans for electrifying the New York division, between Stamford and New York city, were approved. These plans include the erection of a power house on this division.
 The reduction of fares approved is on the Berkshire division. Beginning March 1, the company will fix a rate of two cents a mile, while hitherto the patrons on this line have paid two and one-half cents a mile. Two cents a mile is the main line rate. President Mellen was instructed by the directors to look into the matter. and report to the directors the advisability of mok- ing a similar reduction on the Nauga- tuck and Northampton divisions. The importance of this action by the direct l ors cannot be Over-appreciated. To those who know the railroad, the Berk- s lire, Northampton and Naugatuck are the carriers of the heaviest suburban traffic to this city, and on the Nauga- tuck there is short travel business which amounts to a considerable sum in the course of year, owing to the business situations on that line, and therefore and decrease in the fare will mean a considerable reduction in the roads revenue from this passenger ser vice.
 If President Mellen finds that travel on the ether two divisions mentioned warrants. decrease in rates, he will recommend it at the next monthly meeting of the directors, and no doubt it will be ordered. The reduction in

DORSCHT ANNIVERSARY.
NEW HAVEN LODGE OBSERVES
 IT WITH CONCERT.

Splendid Program Superbly Rendered
 at New Haven Theater Last Even
 Stannard on the FIute--Piccolo and
 Bass0on Duett of Messrs. Hegel and
 PiescheI Another Treat on the List.
 The twenty=first anniversary of the Dorscht lodge No. ?, of this city, was observed last evening by one of the lodges most delightful concerts, the third in the series for this season. Everything contributed to assure the success of the evening; the musicians were, as usual, in the height of form and fettle, the programme was excel lently chosen, and the New Haven the ater was well filled with an apprecia- tive audience.
 The concert was opened with Wie- gands Dorscht March, No. 4, the entire orchestra inaugurating the programme with the stirring march time.
 Meyerbeer's overture to Die Huge notten" formed the second number, Mozkowski and Johann Strauss were the contrast presented in the Serenata and New Pizzicato Polka which formed the third number, the special offering of the string orchestra.
 The Dream Pantomime from Hansel and Gretel of Humperdinck came next, after which the flute solo by Miss Lou ise Stannard, the little New Haven wonder with that instrument, was play ed. Miss Stannards rendition of Ter schak's Concert Stuck was exquisitely paved and received the hearty applause of an audience that had come expecting something exquisite and having it's ex- pectations realized.
 One of Joseph Strauss waltzes, "The Village Swallows" formed the interlude between Miss Stannard's solo and the duett for piccolo and bassoon by MT. Hegel, of this city, and MT. Pieschel of New York. MT. Hegeps reputation needs no remark in these parts, and MT. Pieschel is one of the most skilful play CTS of the bassoon in this country. The combination in "The Elephant and the Fly" was an unusual treat, the conn bination of the little piccolo, the small est of reed instruments, and the bas- soon, the largest of the reeds. The duett was superbly executed, and the applause was so prolonged that the players were compelled to respond with an encore.
 Halls Dream of the Violets" and Eilenbergs Through Field and For est" were the next numbers, after which the concert was brought to a close with a selection from De Koven, the noted American opera composer, "Happyland," his latest success fur .nishing the score.
