Trinity Church. 175th ANNIVERSARY GEL
 EBRATED. Inspiring Services With Ad- dresses by Bishop Brew ster, Bishop Johnson
 and Others.
WEATHER CONDITIONS FAVOR
 THE CELEBRAT.vN

The services in comemoration of the 10th anniversary of Trinity church be- gan on Saturday morning at 10, with the Holy Communion, which was cele- brated by Rev William N. Ackley of Brooklyn, former assistant rector of Trinity parish, assisted by Rev James H. George. The formal exercises of the morning began at Il o'clock. Ev- cry courtesy was shown the visiting friends. Teams met the trains at 10. 10 and 10.37, conveying them from the station to the church. The church in- terior was decorated tastefully with flags. At either side of the church were suspended three flags, one of the three being the Connecticut state flag. The space in the rear formerly occu- pied by the organ was entirely covered with large flag. in the center of which was the English Union Jack.
 In opening the services, Rev J. H. George, the rector, spoke appropriate words of welcome. He said in part: It is my very pleasant privilege to WELCOME TO-DAY ALL THE SONS
 AND DAUGHTERS
 of Trinity parish. Some have come here from afar, out we appreciate the trouble they have been to in doing so. We extend a greeting to our friends in our town, especially those of other communions, for we have only the kindliest feelings for those who are trying to do Gods work in this town. To all we give most hearty welcome and assure them that all they will have to do is to make their wants known, and we will try to make their stay us pleasant.

were churchmen. pr William Samuel Johnson of Connecticut is remembered as one of the most influential members who assisted in forming the constitu- tion of the United States, and was one of the greatest statesmen and jurists that this state has ever produced In 1783, we had in Connecticut l5 clergy men, 10 of whom met after the Revo- lution and elected the the first bishop. The influence of churchmen was very strong after the war in bringing about the unity of the land. At the time of the Civil war our church was the one body which had not been broken by the war. We shall soon have the general convention at Richmond. In 1859 at the last general convention at Rich mond members parted with the feeling that terrible catastrophe was i'm pending. When the war was over the members came back and took their places ipthe convention. We are find ing in oaf diocesan history lesson of steadfastness and lesson of zeal.

D., of Middletown, so greatly beloved throughout Connecticut by Connecticut churchmen. He said in part: We are reminded to-day to go back 300 years, to that year in April and May when the services were first held at James, town. When we compare the period of from 1907 to 1707 we can see we have wonderful history to which we are heirs. In considering the history of those early days in comparing Vir- ginia to Connecticut we are apt to think the churchmanship of Connecti- cut was superior to that of Virginia. But we should remember that the church in Connecticut came into a busy and prosperous community. Then we were the gathers because our ancestors were working in spite of opposition. Later on we had our own people as who had gone to England to assume ordination. While we re- with gratitude Samuel John son. we should not forget those two great commissioners on our shores, Dr James Blair in Virginia and Dr Thom- as Bray in Maryland, who did so much for the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

Many casualties are reported. The
French Admiral ordered 80 sailors to
go ashore from the cruiser Galilee to
protect the French consulate. The
Moorish troops and tribesmen looked
upon the landing of the men as an in
vasion and opened fire upon them. Be
sides many casualties among the Moors,
1t is reported that five French officers
and six sailors fell in the opening of
hOstilities.
When the shells began breaking over
the town, the ,Moors quickly fell back
and the French sailors were able to
take up the wounded and care for them.
The Moors are aroused as they never
were before, and, spurred on by their
fanatic fears that invasion of their
country by foreigners means the end
Of their rule, they are preparing them
selves for a stubborn defense of what
they deem their rights.
A dispatch from Tangier describing
the bombardment Of Casablanca says
that the French cruiser Du Chayla and

the bombardment of the villages sur
rounding Casablanca, which were de-
stroyed by the fire of the warships.

KILLED MOTHER; ISN'T SORRY.
Freck1e-Faced Boy Does Not Regret
Fatal Scheme of Revenge

fataI Scheme OF Revenge.
a freckle-faced lad Of IL years, the
murderer of his widowed mother, has be-
gun a sentence of ten years in the State
reform school at Lincoln, Neb. He is
Calf Mccoy, an alert little lad. Calf
is not at ali contrite over his deed. He
says he killed his mother because she was
mean to him. Rock county is up on the
edge of the sandhills, and on a quarter
section lived the Widow Mccoy and her
three sons. 1t was a hard life the fam
lily led Work all day, little pleasure, no
schooling-this was the program the lad
was familiar with from infancy.
The widow was a hard taskmaster and
she did not spare the rod. On June 6
she gave Calf a sound whipping for fail
ure to perform a task to her liking. Calf
told his mother he would fix" her. She
whaled him a little harder for his threat.
The next day she told the three boys to
come with her to the field to plant beans.
Calf slipped into the kitchen and got the
family revolver. Hiding it under his coat,
he went to the field While his mother
was crouched down at her task he walked
up to within five or six feet of her and
shot her through the head. She died in
a few moments.
Calf made no pretense of lying about
what he had done. He said she had whip
ped him a number of times without cause,
that she was mean to him and to his
brothers and that he had but carried out
his open threat to her when last she whip
ped him. He did not weep then, and he
hasn't wept since over her death.

"A recent invention of Prof. George

beyond all contravention either of two
things: that, far as medical science has
advanced, it is unable to say when ami
NAL life IS extinct, or that it is possible,
under some circumstances, to resto<e
life when the subject is dead" Which
ever may be the case, however, the
fact is not altered that the device men

grew out of more or less accidental
occurrence. In the year 1876 Prof. Poe

had been killed, by the simple process
of pumping oxygen into its lungs. With
this success as i basis to work upon.

In a glass case in the rooms Of the

stone, just beneath the surface of the
earth, over the grave where it had PFC
sulnably fallen, says The Boston Post.
Before this gravestone was found
the Oldest marked grave was supposed
to be located at Jamestown, Va. The
stone from the Dorchester grave has
the following inscription:
Here lies the bodies of Mr.. Bar

which was started in 1854 in a plot
only five rods square, now holds the

them Governor William Stoughton,
