The walls are hung with autumn leaf boughs, pyramids of corn stalks decorate the pulpit, the baptistry is over shadowed by a bower of leaves, the choir will be sheltered by large oak tree, a row of wheat sheaves serve as rail- ing about the platform and fruits and vegetables mounded in front of the pulpit and hung in clusters on the window sash, altogether lend superb beauty to the scene.

Motorcycle Sulky
 Unique Racing Rig

New Haven, Oct 23.-Down at the Rafter Wagon Works, S5 Franklin street, there is being built a vehicle which is very unique by reason of the fact that it has only one wheel, a dis tinction enjoyed, so far as known, by only one other type, the time honored wheelbarrow. This 3monocycle" or one wheeled sulky is for racing pur- poses only and was designed by Thom- as Wilson of this city. The wheel is a common bicycle wheel, 26 inches in di- ameter, with shafts and a seat attach ed thereto. The sulky wilEweigh when completed only 29 pounds, which is said to be only one-half the weight of the standard two-wheeled sulky, conse- quently the draught will be consider ably Iessened. The plans of the novel rig were turned over to the Rafter people with instructions to have 1t completed in time to be shipped to New York for exhibition at the horse show there next week.

APPEAL PREVENTS ISSUE OF LICENSE
 NORWALK SALOON

Just as the County Commissioners were issuing a license to Paul Lengyel to sell Eauors at 19 Ely street, in Nor walk. as ordered by Judge Lucien F. Burpee in the Superior Court. remon- strants stormed the Commissioners of fees, stating that they had filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Commissioners did not now issue the license.
 The appeal will hold up the saloon for some time. The remonstrants claim that the saloon will be "a new place" by Nov. l. Under the present law one saloon is allowed to every 500 inhabi- tants. Already Norwalk has more than that number, so that no more sa- looms can then be allowed

TOOK AMBULANCE 25 MINUTES TO
 RESPOND TO CALL

Charles P. Dirnick. the. cigar store proprietor at 174 Fairfield avenue, and a score of others who witnessed the unreasonable delay of the ambulance corps last evening in getting to the cigar store where Lewis McPhee, son of Hugh McPhee manager of the Max at Tarrytown, N. Y., was in agony as the result of an overdose of cocaine and morphine are very indignant. It was exactly 25 minutes said MT. Dim- ick from the time when a man was sent to call the doctor to the time when the ambulance rolled up in front of the store a distance of only a few blocks. It could be walked in five minutes easily. It was suggest ed to MT. Dimick by a friend that he complain to President Stone of the Board of Charities but he decided that it might hurt in a business way. He said that he had never received such discourteous treatment from city of ficial in his life as he did from ann bulance Surgeon Krause.
 When pr. Krause was interviewed this morning to get his side of the story he replied: s.I have nothing to say n don't give two damms for Dimick. He can say it took an hour and a half if he wants to-" That was all the doctor would say.
 The story or the a1alr as tolu py Mr. Dimick and substantiated by others is as follows: McPhee walked into the pool room complaining of having "a head.'' He sat down and in a few minutes was taken very sick. He lost all control of himself and was helpless. He mumbled "those morphine pills, those morphine pills" MT. Dim ick sent call for his family doc- tor who advised that the ambulance be sent for immediately. The emer- gency telephone was busy and one of the men in the store ran to the emer- gency hospital. When he arrived there he found Dr. Krause at the telephone. .fWhen told that there was a man be- tween life and death at the cigar store, the doctor is alleged to have turned to his informant and said: Keep still, can't you see that I am busy. Taken aback at this reception the man returned to the cigar store.

Meanwhile MdPhee was kept moving in the fresh air behind the store. Fearing that the ambulance was not coming Harry Ford'sS automobile was used to hurry McPhee to the hospi- tai. Near Broad street the autono- bile and the ambulance passed each other. When the ambulance arrived at the store, after 25 minute wait, MT. Dinick chided the doctor for the delay and was told by the physi- elan that he had too much to say.
 The ambulance then returned to the dispensary Without treating him at all. say those who took McPhee to the dispensary in the automobile, Dr. Krause said We will send him to St. Vincent's hospital McPhee expressed a preference for the Bridgeport hos pital where he was taken. He is ad- oicted to the use of drugs and he will probably be discharged today.

Early Prsjudies Asains. Potatoes.


 The way of the potato was said to have been barred by the prejudice that it was never mentioned in the Bible. In the Lothians it came in about 1740, the year of the famine, from Ire land, but was confined to gardens till about 1754 when it was planted in fields about Aberlady. By the close of the century it was general article of diet Ramsay says that George Hem derson went about 175O for bag of potatoes to Kilsyth, where the Irish method of field culture had lately been tried, and introduced the potato into Ment1eth, where a few had been known. but only in kale yards. The old folks, however, did not take kindly to the new food. Old George Bachop, one of the, Ochtertyre tenants, when told by his wife that she had potatoes for supper said: ''Tatties! Tatties! never supped on them a. my days and wilma the nicht., Gie them to the herd and get me sowens." It is significant that Burns, who sings the praises of kale and porridge and haggis, should have nothing to say of the potato.- Blackwood's Magazine.
