 Worthy Co-Religionists:
 After twenty years of continuous effort, we have at last reached the threshold of our hopes, and on Sum day, May 27, 1906, we will lay the corner stone for the first synagogue in Waterbury.
 Therefore, sisters and brothers, and especially our Hebrew young la dies and young men, 1t is up to you personally to decide one of the fol- lowing two questions: shall you and the generations to follow you contin- ue to be Jews, or shall Judaism die with you.
 "If the former question appeals to you, If you have a human principle in your heart to appreciate the great ness, the noble institutions of your race, If you wish to erect an eternal living monument to the teachings of your father and mother and your an- cestors, then 1t is up to you to offer your moral and material support to our worthy brothers, upon whom rest the heavy responsibility of com pleting the Synagogue Beth Israel. and on Sunday, May 27, you must suspend your social and business en- agreements. set aside all personal and class feeling, and join with us in eel ebrating the happiest event in the history of the Waterbury Jew: The Laying of the Corner Stone for the New Shuhl and Talmud Torah."

BAR DOOR AGAINST TEACHER.
Reports at the School Every Morning and Will Hold on Till Term Ends.

Middletown, May 26.-Miss Vera Griswold of Pennington, the 21- years-old school teacher at the Mid de West Side school in Durham, has had the experience of her life the past week, for her school house has been barricaded so that she couldn't get in, and in addition the village gossips have been trying to force her out or town. Miss Griswold, however, has put up plucky resistance and 1t now looks as if she would make good"
 Miss GriswoId began work at the Middle West Side school two years ago, 19. pretty and inexperienced. At that time there were two factions in the district, one headed by George Bailey and the other by Benjamin Prout. The Bailey side tried, 1t Is said, to vent It's spite on Mise Gris- wold. although their animus was ap- parently without reason. Mir Prout and others upheld the teacher.
 This year the Prout forces seem to have been won over by the Bailey bunch and some one has started stor- ies which reflect on Miss Griswold. Although there seems to be no foun- dation for the gossip the now united Prout-Bailey combination have tried to force Miss Griswold to resign. But she wouldn't.
 Last Monday when she went 10 the school. she found that the outhouse had been leaned against the front door of the school house, and other depredations committed. As she couldn't get in there was no session of school. Nor has there been this week. Miss Griswold has reported at the school house every morning, but no one has seen fit to remove the ob- struction from the door, and there fore no one could get in.
 The people of the other parts of Durham regard the affair as a dis grace. and the Rev Joseph Hooper. one of the school visitors, has ordered the district to have the school prop- erty fixed up at once. and sessions re- sumed there next Monday. The dis trict will probably comply. and the seven or eight children who receive instruction there. will gather under the roof again. and Miss GriswoId will preside at the desk. The term ends the latter part of next week, and Miss Griswold will probably hand in her resignation at that time.
 Inquiry at Durham revealed the fact that Miss Griswold still has some stauneh friends there. who refuse to believe anything concerning her. but what Is good. She attends the Metho. dist church at the town and ths church people like her.
