Beautiful Tribute Paid Them at
First Presbyterian Church.
Rev. DIR. Macleod Delivers n Sermon
of Praise and Members of COngre-
CATION Wear White Carnations.

An innovation In religious services, and
one which represents a beautiful senti-
ment, was introduced at the First Pres
byterian Church yesterday morning.
II was called Mothers Day" and
every feature Of the exercise was In
some way devoted TO mothers. The serv-
ice was the result OF a request made
upon the church pastor Rev. DIR. Donald
G. Macleod. about two weeks ago by
the evangelistIc committee OF the gen
eral assembly.
Dr. Mcleod announced Sunday a week
ago from the pulpit that yesterday would
be set aside as Mothers Day" and. In
closing, asked that every member Of the
congregation remember the mothers In
some way that would be a worthy ex-
preston OF loyalty aud love. He also re-
quested that all who attended the moth
ers service wear a white carnation in
honor of the mothers.
The edifice was crowded when the serv-
ice opened. The younger members OF the
church had taken care to see that no
mother should be overlooked, and for
those who. through feebleness or illness.
were unable to reach the church car
riages were provided
The members OF the young mems and
young women's classes took care OF the
"arnation part OF the request. and they
provided every one who entered the
church with a white bud.
DR.. Mcleod devoted his sermon exclu-
sively 10 mothers, and paid them a high
tribute
Next 10 the sacrifice and love OF God
Is the mother love and sacrifice. and our
obligations 10 our mothers come next
to our obligations 10 our God" he said.
He spoke OF the hours and years OF
care and loving tenderness which they
bestowed, and closed with a eulogy on
mothers. and a plea for honor. reverence.
and love for them. His words were earn
est and eloquent, and made a deep i'm
preston on his hearers.
An especial musical programme was
arranged, and the selections, which were
given by the choir, were In accordance
with the Mothers Day idea.
So successful was the service that ar
its close it was decided TO make Mothers
Day an annual affair in the church cal
endar In the future.

THE POLICE COURT.
$2O and Costs on Two Counts for
 Liquor Violation,

A few weeks ago one of the tenants ot the house 196 Maple street was ar rested for keeping a house said to have a bad reputation. She was sent to jail. Sunday morning, early, off, cers $. C. Walsh and William Cassin visited the same house but instead of going up stairs this time they dived into the basement and there found half a dozen men and two women sit ting around drinking beer. The off, cers were armed with search war rant and on the strength of this they looked into every nook and corner of the basement and unearthed two full kegs of beer, sixeen bottles of beer. fifty-eight empty bottles and three empty beer kegs. Antonio Mancino who claimed to run a boarding house in the place was taken into custody and in the city court this morning he was charged on two counts with hay ing violated the liquor laws. His de- fence was that he ran boarding house, that he had seven boarders and four relations and charges $13 month The officers testified that the place consisted of three rooms, the cellar. he kichen and bedroom. A witness for Manclno testified that the board CTS clipped in for the beer and that any stranger coming along could be entertained provided he was a friend of the accused, who was the ''boss." On both counts Mancino was found guilty and he was fined $20 and costs on each.
 Michael Myers was committed to jail for thirty days for vagrancy. Felix Burwell of Middlebury was fined S10 and costs for intoxication and committed to jail for thirty days for common drunkard.

SLEEPING ON STRAW
Matter VIII Be Brought 10 Atlen'
 lion 0t Fire Department.

Patrolman Thomas Dodds, and in fact the police in general who patrol the Brooklyn district evenings, came upon one of the worst indications of the conditions of the times the other morning in house on James street. The officers were patroling tho street about o'clock when they saw the form Of a man laid out on the side walk. The man was sufficiently un- dressed to indicate that he had made some attempt to retire in the proper manner, and he was awake enough to show the officers where he had come from. After he had been helped to ms feet, for he was somewhat shaken up by the drop he had taken, he escorted the officers up flight or two or steps and into a room which was about twelve by fourteen feet. There on the floor with nothing between them but q little straw were eleven men stretched unconscious in weary sleep, who were unable to find better accommodations because they were unable to pay for them. The times have surely hit the Southern Euro pean very hard, but this is probably the worst illustration of the industrial condition so far heard of in Waterbury Evidently there were lot of men who have been long time out of work. Their countrymen are leaving for the old land by thousands every day but this lot sleeping on the straw strewn floor of this house were unable to go home or fad decent bed.
 A cobbler, it is said, rents the place and he charges dime or nickel for the privilege of sleeping on the straw. The matter will be brought to the at tention of the fire department prob- ably to-day or tomorrow, for there is a serious danger in such a state of affairs as this. These men smoke pipes when they can't get cigarettes. There is serious danger in smoking pipe in such place but there is menace every time a cigarette is light ed. A good blaze in tha, neighbor- hood might result in wiping out the whole corner of James and Bank streets.

THE JUDGES INK BOTTLE.
Some One Is Making Too Free With
 City Court Ink.

Somebody is making too free with the ink in the judges ink stand on the bench of the city court. The other morning there was not enough ink. in the ink stand to wet the courts pen. Saturday morning the stand was replenished again and this morning it was as dry as though it had never held drop of ink. The quantity of ink taken does not signi- fly but it indicates remarkable thirst or some other feeling on the part of some one which is bad thing. More over it is theft of the blackest kind and committed one might say, right under the nose of the detective de- partment which is separated from the judges bench only by brick wall one foot thick.
