cLuB HOUSE SOLD.
Ansantawne Property at Snvin Rock
 Disposed Of.

The Ansantawae club house and ex- tensive property at Savin Rock was sold yesterday to George Jacobs, of the firm of George Jacobs. & Brother, the well known fruit dealers. at 22 Con- gress avenue, and Henry Schoenberger, of the well known meat company of E. Schoenberger & Sons, at 15 George street.
 The club was at one time one of the best known in Connecticut. The house is a large and modern one and is lo- cated on very extensive grounds. There Is a large barn on the grounds and on the opposite side of street reaching over the beach is summer house in which games have been played. From this house long private pier extends over the water.
 Six years ago the Quinnipiac club leased the property for a shore club, from the Ansantawae Club company, and when the lease expired on the first day of last May it was not renewed. There were 8 number of stockholders in the Ansantawae Club company and it was recently decided to sell the en- tire property. It has been quoted as offered for $1S,OOO but it is understood that the present purchasers got it for about $16,OOO, which Is considered a very good bargain. s
 This morning at, 10 o'clock all the furniture and other articles in the club house are to be sold atSpublic,, auction and large nmber of buyers will un- doubtedly attend.
 Mir. Jacobs was asked yesterday as to what use he intended to put the property, and he said that he and MT. Shoenberger had not talked the matter over enough to know. He said that it might be run as first-class hotel and the owners might decide Ito put up some cottages on the extensive grounds.

EccIeslasticIsm or Service.

We are sorry to hear Rev. Dr. Ed
 ward Everett Hale reported as saying
 that his four years in washington has given him an excellent opportunity to study the religioniof America, and that he finds that it consists of ecclesiastic- ism and not of service. Dr. Hale ap- parently bases his conclusions upon his observation of forty eight religious conventions which were held in Wash ipgton in twelve weeks, and rather nasty generalization that all that was done or attempted was the perpetua- tion of the life of themselves. We do not know what any one of these forty eight conventions was, and would not dgn aticaliy contradict Dr. Hale's judg- ment of them. But 1t is certainly sin gular if almost fifty religious conven- ticns. meeting within a. space of twelve weeks-about four to a week-had no other thought than the perpetuation of tho sects with which they were respec- lively connected. Such gatherings are by no means always broad in their out look on tho worlds needs, but when they meet Tn other places than Wash ington they are apt to be broader than that. Indeed, 1t Is the rare case now adays when religious convention does not dwell on various forms of Chris tiaE service, and seek to inspire It's members to activity on these lines. We trust that the next fifty religious con vehtions In Washington will show pr, Hale that they have some enthusiasm for service.
 Yet, is it true that even if the forty eight conventions which disappointed the good doctor had no other thought than that of ecclesiastical perpetuation, the religion of America Is lacking in the desire for service exhibited n de- voted work? Is the religion of America by which we suppose is meant the religion of the individual people of America-merely an ecclesiastical par tisanship and not zeal for the King dom of Heaven? Because if that Is really the case, tis high time to stop bragging about how much better the world has grown, and for a little de- votion to the task of making it fairly decent. There are a good many persons in this country who call themselves re- ligious. Some are in the churches on tEat account and some stay out of the churches because, as they say they can be as truly religious outside. Presum- ably the sum total of the religion of all these persons is the religion of America; but if it consists of ecclesias-

COMMISSIONERS SUSTAINED APPEAL OF D'AMATO. Action Refusing Him Li- cense for Saloon
 Upheld.

Tn the superior court yesterday after noon Judge Robinson handed down his decision in the appeal of D'Amato, the Italian who was refused license for 8 saloon at 24s wooster street, from the ruling of the county commissioners. sustaining them in their conclusion and holding that their action was not illeg- al as alleged by the appellant. DAmato applied for a license in December, 1906, and the commissioners, after a hearing, refused the petition on the ground that there were already enough saloons in the neighborhood The clergy of St. Paul's church took an active part in the campaign against the granting of the license as the place was near the rear of property belonging to the church. D'Amato renewed his petition in March, 1907, and this time the com missioners refused to consider the ap- plication on the ground that it was an application for the same place in the same year. D'Aamto, through Attor neys Zacher and Webb, appealed to the superior court against this ruling.
 Judge Robinson in his finding says that the laws controlling the sale of liquor are made for the public good, that they are to be interpreted broadly and their real intention must not be ob- soured nor neutralizel by technicalites. He concludes by saying that the com missioners were rig in their action and that they did not act Illegally. The applicants is required to pay the costs.
 The attempt of D'Amato to secure the license for this saloon occasioned a great deal of opposition at the time it was made and the opposition was stren- uously represented before the commits sioners to show that the location was an unsuitable one.

teched to no church. Many of them are, and they are zealous. too, for the prosperity of their own denomination. It does not appear, by any means, that an ecclesiastical loyalty and high minded Christian service are always in compatible. There are, writes the apostle, diversitles of gifts, but the same spirit. And we suspect that the same spirit often moves those who seem to the judgment of the world to be chiefly ecclesiastics and those who exemplify that which is popularly known as service.-New Bedford Sun day Standard.

HORSES TRAVEL IN LUXURY.
Coaches With Steam Heat and Electric

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Travel by rail
will soon be as luxurious for horses as
for their owners. The New York Gem
trail lines have just ordered twenty
cars to be used exclusively for the
transportation of valuable horses.
Each car will be lighted by electricity
and heated by steam. The cars will be
much longer than those now used for
this service, and will be equipped with
everything conducive to the comfort

horse worth $4,000 catches pneu-
monia while being shipped over the
road because the car could not be kept
warm, or could not be ventilated, or
there was too much ventilation, we
are called upon to pay for the horse
if it dies. In addition to those which
are used for racing purposes, thous-
ands of valuable horses are shipped
every year to Chicago, New York, Gin
cinnati, and other large cities. 80
ut is not uncommon for mill onaires
to ship their horses every winter from
Chicago and New York to California,
bringing them back in the spring. The
owners do not object to paying the
extra rates charged for the special
cars for horses. but they let us hear
from them if anything happens to the
horses because the cars are not all
they should be. The cars which have
just been ordered for the New York
Central system will be fitted with
everything possible to prevent injury
to the horses being transported, will
have feed and water compartments,
harness closets, and suitable berths
for the men in charge of the horses.
The ventilation of these cars will be as
good as in any passenger coaches.
