BERKELEY DIVINITY SCHOOL h.
 BRARY

We noted some little time ago a spe- cially valuable gift to the library at Middletown, consisting of two volumes once the property of the Rev. Dr. Sam uel Johnson, "the founder of episcopa- cy in Connecticut" presented by his lineal descendant, the wife of the late Rev. John Townsend, one of which bore the autograph of Bishop Berkeley. It is now announced that Mrs. Town send has presented to the library two hundred and fifty volumes, chiefly in the departments of theology and ec- clesiastical biography, being valua- ble part of her husbands carefully se- lected library, thus adding to the gifts in which his name is enshrined in the institution of which he was an alum nus and a trustee, and always a loyal and generous frterA.It Is understood that Mrs. Townsend has made another gift from her husbands collection of books to the Divinity school of the Pa- cific at San Mateo, Cal, under the care of Bishop William F. Nichols, formerly of Hartford.

 While the completion of the Alumni Library fund to ten thousand dollars, which is practically effected, will bring a helpful addition to the amount at our disposal each year and other additions would be welcor. d, we are in such condition that almost any book needed in connection with the work of the school can be secured for our scholars. For investigation in theology and kim dred subjects, and for additions to books of reference and original author- ities, we need and could profitably use a larger income"

CONGO PETITION FOR SHERRY.

 Meeting Sends Document.

Committee Appointed as Result of Mass
 Meeting Sends Document.
 As the result of the mass meeting on Congo horrors held here last week the following document has been signed by the committee appointed by Dean Rog- CTS as chairman of the Congo meet ing and will be presented to Congress- man Sperry by Charles F. Walker. who started for Washington with the docu' ment yesterday.
 New Haven, Conn. Hon. N D. Sperry, House of Represen-
 tatives, Washington, D. C.:
 Dear sir: A meeting of the citizens of New Haven was held in this city on Wednesday evening, January S1. This meeting was called to consider existing conditions in the Congo Free State. It was addressed by persons thoroughly familiar with the conditions concerning which complaint has been made, There is reason to believe that these speakers are persons of character, and that their knowledge was derived from personal observation In the Congo.
 At this meeting the undersigned was appointed committee to bring this matter to your attention, and to express the hope that you will take suci1 steps as your judgment approves as best cal culatedl to secure appropriate action on the part of the government of the Unit ed States in aid of the effort now being made to bring about a reform of the abuses which are believed to exist in the Congo Free State.
 We are aware that the government of the United States did not ratify the 'acts general de la, conference de Der lin" of 18S4-1885. The United States was, however, represented in that con- ference and it accorded recognition to the Congo Free State. But wholly ire spective of these facts, we are convinc- ed that some representation should be made, az was done when the president voiced the protest of the American people concerning the persecution of the Jews in Russia, which shall make known the indignation with which we have learned of the horrible atrocities and cruel expressions, the slavery and tyranny, and the savage crimes stag geing the imagination, which are prac- ticed in the Congo by those entrusted with authority. We think some infiu- ence should be exerted to accomplish a change of policy in the administra- ton of the Congo Free State. Very re- spectfully yours,

STILL INVESTIGATING.
Coroner Has Not Yet Rendered Verdict
 in Case of Mrs. Frankel


 in Case of Mrs. Frankel.
 Coroner Mix was out of town last night and nothing further could be learned of the developments in the in- vestigation of the mysterious death of Mrs Joseph Frankel, of 124S State street.
 The coroner stated that the woman died as the result of malpractice, but he has not been able to locate the phy- sician who it is thought is involved in the case. Mrs. Frankel died at her home on Monday and was without the attendance of a physician. Her re- mains were buried in Westville ceme- tery Tuesday afternoon, after Coroner Mix had given the relatives permission to conduct the funeral. The Frankels are Hebrews.
 Mrs. Frankel was thirty-two years old, She had been away from home for several days, and when she returned on Monday she was very i'll and soon faint ed. She died shortly after, before any aid could be summoned. Medical Ex- aminer Bartlett was called by the au- thorities, who had been notified. Dr. Bartlett informed the coroner and had the body sent to Yale Medical school, where an autopsy was performed. It is understood the physicians found drugs in the stomach which are used in mal- practice cases.
 Search was made among the woman's effects in an effort to find a prescrip- ton of the medicine she took. It was thought that it would bear the name of the physician that gave it. No papers were found that would aid the authori- ties in clearing up the affair. It is said the husband had no facts of interest to the coroner.

LOWEST BIDDERS TURNED DOWN
Meriden Board of Education Favors
 Local CnntractOr

uhSlluSll bDdEu LII Euutdliul F1NOlS 5 Local Contractor. Because the Meriden board of educa- tion awarded the contract for the build ing of a new Meriden sehoolhouse to a Meriden contractor, NJ. F. Fitzgerald, despite the fact that the David H. Clark company, of this city, presented the lowest bid for the work, M. B. Schenck, chairman of the building com mittee of that board, has resigned Mr. Schenck, who is large manufacturer in Meriden, declares that the deal is neither honest nor in accordance with good business policy.
 This action on the part of the board of education has caused much unfavor- able comment, and 1t is hardly probable that the Clark company will ever care to submit future bids there again. The Clark company had to deposit certl- fled check for $1,S00 as a guarantee of good faith that it would accept the con- tract if awarded to it, and was in turn promised the contract if it's bid was the lowest.
