 Lectures.
SIMPLE LIFE IS THE BEST

The first of the lectures of the Uni versity Extension course drew large assemblage last night to College street hall where Russell H. Conwell made an address on Personal Gllmpses of Celebrated Men and Women; Lessons from Life" MT. Conwell was colonel III the civil war and has since been connected with the Boston Transcript, the New York Tribune, and has acted as correspon- dent for newspapers in all parts of the world for the past forty years. In addition to this MT. Conwell is an or dained minister and his experiences with people in all walks of life are very interesting.
 Anecdotes of President Lincoln whom Mir Conwell knew personally were very interesting, and these with the stories he told of other great men went to prove the text of MT. Con- wells address in the words of Wen dell Phillips within these gates Is paradise: outside is martyrdom."
 Mir. Conwell said that while on the outside the lives of prominent men and women may seem. of the most happy nature, they really are filled with care and longing for peace. As special example of this he mention ed the life of Miss Frances Willard, and mentioned San instance where he had seen her caring for little child

SATURDAY NIGHT BANKS NEW YORK COLLECTIONS Appropriate Suggestion as to What Might Be Done in
 This City.

Apropos of the merchants plan to secure the opening of the city's banks on Saturday nights for the receipt of the days collection of cash, one of those especially interest has called at tention to a method in vogue in New York city This is the plan used by the Night and Day bank which oper- aes an automobile of the closed type in the rear of which is set a special ly constructed safe instead of the usual seats This machine collects re- ceipts from restaurants, stores, etc, which remain open, and receive cash in large quantities after the banking hours, depositing same in the vaults of the Night and Day bank.
 1t is admitted by the merchants of New Haven that such a proposition would not be feasible here, but they claim that in several other cases banks of that city remain open until 9 and 10 p. m. to meet conditions sim liar to those existing here.

Says Matter of Self Government Rests
 With Congress.

Manila, P. l., Oct 1s.-Secretary Taft formally opened the Philippine Assem- bly,, in the National theater, at 11.1b o'clock, this morning, in the presenoe of 8 large crowd of people. In his op- ening address Mir. Taft reiterated his former statements regarding the Phil ippine Islands, declaring that his views announced two years ago regarding tho independence of the Philippine people were unchanged. He did not believe that they would be fitted to govern themselves for at least a generation, but he added that the matter was en- tirely in the hands of Congress.
 The secretary denied emphatically that the United States had any inten- tion of disposing of the islands; said he had absolute confidence in the Fili- pinos; denied that he was disappointed at their ability to legislate conserva- lively, and asserted his belief that they felt their responsibilities and acknowl- edged the necessity of supporting the American government.
 Mir Taft refrained from making any suggestion regarding specf1o legislation on the part of the Philippine Assembly, but he recommended that attention be paid to the civil service,

GOES MERELY ON.
No Letup in the Fine Success of Irish
 Fair.

Fair.
 The Irish fair given by the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Music hall last night made good its record for an increased attendance each evening. There were large delegations from Wallingford, Branford, Meriden and Ansonia, as well as more local people than on any previous evening. The entertainment was in charge of Fred Martin, a musical performer, who so delighted his audience with an exhibition of his ability to obtain good music from rows of gobFeta and cu- rious arrangements of metallic pipes that the committee decided to have him repeat the feat tonight.
 Yesterday afternoon ladies were ad- mitted free and the committee states that they liberally patronized the va rious booths, especially the one where linen is sold.
 Historic interest has been added by friend of the order loaning them two cups which were used by the grandparents of Daniel O'Connell, the Irish patriot They have been placed in the exhibit in Ross castle. This evening the musical program will comprise genuine Irish music | rendered by four Irish flutes, accom- panied by four violins.

in lonely Scotland station, happy for a few minutes in her triumphant lone ly life. He spoke of the longing of Miss Carey, who wrote Lead, Kindly Light" for quiet home in the coun- try, and how the longing was just about to be realized when she died.
 Professional humorsts, said MT. Con- we'll, are always sad. He mentioned as particular examples of this Artemas Ward and Josh Billings, the first of whom took up humor in the madness of disappointed love, and the latter, who used to weep after he had writ ten the most comical stories.
 During his address Mir. Conwell knocked the newspapers and their | methods of gathering and printing speeches. before they are delivered, later admitting that there were cases when 1t would be better to have these done than to take down the wild speeches which orators might give ut terance to on the spur of the moment.
 It was with the New England poets and with Tennyson and Dickens that Mir. Conwell spent the most of the evening. He told of the horror that Longfellow, Emerson, Bryant, Holmes and the two English writers had of the depredations which the public made on their homes and surroundings, and how Longfellow's fence supplied the whole of Cambridge with fuel for many years. He told of how he suc- ceeded in getting Longfellow to write poem for Holmes to read at Bayard Taylor's funeral and of how Tennyson told him that he should think Queen Victoria would resign to get a few quiet hours before she died. MT. Con- well told of how he was present when | John B. Cough the noted temperance | speaker, dropped dead in Philadelphia and how he was one of the eighteen people present at the funeral of Charle: | Dickens, getting in by bribing the keeper of te side entrance to West minister abbey.
 MT Conwell closed the recital of hi interesting experience with an accoun l of how few years ago he met tn, Empress Eugenie years after he hat seen her covered with diamonds at tn side of her husband, Napoleon III, a a banquet in the Tuilleries before tn departure of the French army to Ger many He spoke of the beauty and tn magnificence of the empress at tha time and of how much happier she wa after her husband and son were botl dead, and she was living quietly in
 little French cottage,

her spiritual teachings, have lifted thousands from hopeless invalidism and degradation to health and purer living.
 It may be interesting to know that, notwithstanding this unqualified con- demnation of Christian Science, more than 45O,000 copies of the text book of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker c. Eddy, are in constant use, which means that as many Bibles are the daily companions of Chris tian Scientists. Any system of scien- tific interpretation and religious mo- tive, which could bring out such a re- suit should be commended and sup ported by the clergy rather than be made the subject of bitter attack and attempts at mutilation Of its doctrine. Mrs. Eddy does not deny that the idea of God, man, has substance, form, color or outline, because he is spiritual, but she does deny Gods image and likeness to be a sick, sin hing, dying mortal.
 It is the denial of mortal selfhood and the realization that man in Gods likeness is pure and perfect, insep- arable from his divine principle love--which is bringing to light tho real creation and breaking the dream of life in matter, setting mankind free physically and morally.
 In conclusion let us dispassionatel, consider just what can be deduceC from these sermons which have occu pied the time which should have beer devoted to the contemplation of spir itual and holy thoughts
 We find that the speaker has revileC Mrs. Eddy, ridiculed her teachings anC classed her followers as ignorant il logical and minimizing. Can such practice leave upon the minds of hi l hearers an influence for good whicl will enable them to become follower of Christ Jesus, in deed and in truth
 No form of religion suffered nor 1 from criticism and unjust attack than Methodism in it's early history and it would seem that such an ex perience should tend to restrain it adherents from employing a like at tack upon Christian people, espe cially in this twentieth century of re ligious liberty and tolerance.

WILL OPPO.E LOOS Alderman Says Courts Are Capable of Dealing
 With Students. AGAINST DICTATION Class Legislation if Board Passes Proposed Sug-
 gestion.

When Alderman Emil Loos' resolu- tion that the board of aldermen send recommendation to the city court and the common pleas court judges that students be jailed for creating disturb ance on the city streets, comes up at the next meeting of the aldermen, strong objection will be raised to its ! passage, according to the statement of a prominent republican member of the board last night.
 The ground taken by the alderman, and he says he represents the senti- ments of others as we'll as his own, Is that the board of aldermen is not a body which should in any way dictate or suggest to the courts what they shall and shall not do The alderman says 1 that the punishment of students for creating disturbances in the streets does not come up before the board ot aldermen, but is a matter entirely within the jurisdiction of the court. Further than this he says that 1t would be class legislation of the most drastic sort to send a recommendation to the judges that students should be sent to jail for raising trouble in the streets, and saying nothing about city hoodlums who might from time to time create disturbance.
 The alderman who will lead the op- position to Alderman Loos resolution does not claim that the students should not be dealt with for the numerous outbreaks which disturb the peace of 4 the city, but says that the matter should be left entirely to the judgment of the courts and that they should be dealt with as residents of the city. He adds that there have been less out breaks in the past few years than there used to be.

THAT MYSTERIOUS QUAKE
Thought to Have Been Mid-o Ocean
 Disturbance.

New York, Oct. 16.-1nquiry among all of the cable companies to-day failed to disclose any interruption of com munication in the two Americas. Those lines which run through the West In- dies and to Central and South America were reported as working smoothly and the officials of the companies said that none of their offices or those of their connecting llnestto the south had reported any earthquake disturbances.
 AS the field thus covered embraces all of the West Indies, all of Central America and both coasts of South America, it is evident that the quake recorded by various seismographs to- day did not occur at any largely popu- lated region on the western hemisphere. It probably was an underocean dis turbance.
