With Thanksgiving let us enter into His gates
The season of ingathering toward the close of the
year is fitting time for the public thanksgiving
OF the people to the great Giver of all good
Abundant harVests have been given to supply the
food of the millions Of America, and crowded
barns and storehouses should bring us to the feet
OF the Lord Of the Harvest. The country is at
peace with all the world Peace has it's happy
sway through all the sections of our land Prog
ress in law and obedience to law, in education,
IN temperance, in moral reforms, is bringing
silently great benefits to all the people. In the
sanctuary, in the home in the closet, let us come
before Him with thanksgiving.
Mary and Martha, the sisters of Bethany, the
spirituality Of Mary, who sat at the feet of her
Lord, and the service of Martha, who denied her
self the fellowship that she might serve the Mas
ter; this was the subject Of a striking sermon on
Sunday morning in Richmond by DR.. Henderson,
of the University Of Chicago. The spirituality of
the Of Mary and the service of the sons of
Martha should be inseparabIe companions, first
the coming to the Lord and learning of Him, and
then the going out to serve the word for His sake
by His guidance and His help One may wor-
ship on the Sabbath in the sanctuary, and then
serve God in the highways and hedges of human
ity healing the sick, feeding the hungry teaching
the young, carrying the love of God down to the
lowest and most unworthy.
A decidedly tragic instance of mixing the re-
igious and secular is reported in Massachusetts
papers which tell us that on a recent occasion the
Christian Endeavor Society of the Pleasant Street
Baptist Church, invited the freshmen of the Wor-
chester Polytechnic Institute to a reception, re-
sulting in a clash between the freshman and soph-
omore classes, in which many were injured sew
era being sent to the hospital, where one of the
number died After the disgracefu affair was
over the two classes, numbering hundreds, formed
themselves into separate mobs paraded the streets
with hideous yells and challenged each other to

The president-elect of Hampden- Sidney Col
IeSe, the Rev. H. Tucker Graham of FarmviIle
Is received with applause by friends and alumni
OF the old college far and near. He is an aumnus
who loves the college dearly Christian gentle
man OF ability and fine gifts of administration.
The Central intended to say MANY thinos of tho
new president, but is provoked that our friend
Dr. w. w. Moore of the seminary spoke so
promptly and so well that we are quite fore
stalled.
Our esteem for the Baptist brethren and their
Jealous work does not lessen our regard for the

PINE STREET LINE
lawns Cut off 10 Wake a Fiiiy
 Fool Street.

Many never know where they are at with reference to grades and so forth until the city comes along to do the actual work of carrying out such orders. Pine street folks are finding that out just now. The street was laid out some time ago, but no step was taken towards putting it through until now. The street was laid out to a width of fifty feet. Some parties who bought property there since thes layout was adopted and thought they had nice lawns were very much disappointed when they saw stakes driven in the green sward within couple of feet of their verandas. Now they would like to have the work delayed, the old lay out discontinued and new one adopted which would make the width of the street forty-6ye feet instead of fifty feet, so as to save their lawns. This can De done, but if the property owners mean to have the change made they should get busy right away, but no matter how they hustle the change would put the job over into next year.

WILL CONTEST
Further Evidence Taken in the
 KilIoughey Case To-Day.

The evidence taken to-day in the Killoughey will contest was mostly corroborative of what has been al- ready taken. Mrs Ella Dumbshott, who lived for a time next to Mrs Killoughey, stated that on the day she was moving into the house she heard a great racket in Mrs kll- loughey's, and looking up saw Mrs Killoughey at the window making faces at her, with her fingers to her nose, indicating contempt. Evenings she was compelled to close her win dows to keep out the sounds of the racket Mrs Killoughey used 10 make in her house. Mrs Killoughey did not like witness's children and Tn every possible way she showed her contempt for them. She never saw Father Gleeson in the house, but did see him approaching it.
 F. B. Merriam, bookkeeper at the Waterbury Savings bank testified to Mrs Killoughey having deposits in the bank, and toward the close of her life whatever withdrawals were made and they were only few, were made by Father Gleeson for her. Original ly the bank book was in her own name, Catherine Hogan, but after she married she had the name chang ed to Mrs Michael Killoughey, her husbands name. The deposits ran back as far as 1876.
 little girl named Annie Rice, daughter of the woman who testified last week, said she saw Father Glee- son often in Mrs Killoughey's house, two or three times week perhaps, before she fell ill, and probably once day while she was sick.
 Religion somewhat favored the ex- animation this afternoon. Anna tes- tified that she often heard Mrs Kill loughey eXclaim:
 My poor Tom, know you are in heaven and I hope I'll soon be with you there" Anna said she thought Mrs Killoughey was crazy for saying she hoped to be in heaven soon. She believed in heaven herself, she said, but had never heard Mrs Xiii loughey say she had provided for masses for her soul and on that ac- count she considered her crazy. She thought it very strange why she had not provided for her peace after death. Mrs Killoughey told her that she wasslonesome after Tom and that no one seemed to care for her; and after an outburst of temper she would say to Anna and her mother:
 Don't mind me. for I feel just like a child.'

COMPLAINTS BEARD
Many Properly Owners Showed
 Up Last Night.

There were many speakers before the board of public works last night,
 nearly all of whom thought that the
 city is painfully slow in taking hold
 of projects ordered done in their dis tricts. c. A. Colley was there and
 talked like man who felt very much abused because some pieces of side walk and street grading, ordered
 done some time ago, are still on the
 waiting list Philip Kiely and oth- CTS representing interests on Granite
 street stated that in the working of
 River street the entrance to their
 property is left two or three feet
 above the new grade. Their street
 is a private way, but somehow the collector found them out when they
 built over twenty years ago and from
 that day to this they have been pay
 ing 'heayy tax bills and receiving
 nothing" in exchange therefor ex- cept the privilege of earning living
 in Waterbury. James J. Cassin con- plained of the damage done by sur
 face water in the vicinity of Grand and Union streets where Great Brook overflows once in so often and deluges his property. He has grievance of
 long standing there and thought 1t time relief had come. Henry Mori
 arty of Tracy avenue praised the character of the work done in that street by Superintendent Kennedy when the water main was laid, the tamping being so thorough that the sluiceway in the hollow spot in the road got choked and will have to be opened in order to let the overflow in the swamp run under the roadway as usual. E. Wilson wanted to know If the board forgot about that re- taining wall they promised to build abutting his property on Bunker hill. If the work is not done soon there will be nothing to protect, for what there is left of the house and lot will be carried off by surface water. MT keefe and some of his neighbors from South Leonard street dropped in to inquire when the superintendent of streets intends to build their retain ing walls and lay their sidewalks. If something isn't done before long the houses will slip down into the street. Mrs Holmes sent in communication in which she described Field street as uneven as the waves in a turbulent sea, and John M. Joy wrote an essay relative to the antics of the water in Division street which showed him to be the peer of J. Fennimore Cooper, and-but we must stop. It would take up too much space to give even a bare mention of what happens at a meeting of that department. The town Is growing and something will have to be done to provide more means unless work that demands im- mediate attention is to stand for an indefinite time.

Changing of School Clerks Abandon
 ed for the Present.
 Although the high school will in all probability be even more crowd ed next term than 1t has been dur ing the past year. still 1t is not like ly that the offices of Superintendent Tinker and Clerk Fitzgerald will be moved down town. There was some talk because of the congested condi- tions at the building of making the offices into class rooms which would help the situation for a year or two at least. But the plan SO it seems has been practically abandoned and the offices are likely 10 remain where they are. About all the avail able space at Crosby is now in use and if the increase next term is much larger than 1t was last. the faculty will have a difficult time try ing to find room for the scholars.
