Sergt. John Walsh, the soldier pc
destrian, who left Boston Sunday to
walk across the Sentiment, reached
Danielson from Providence Monday
morning at IL O'clock. His jaunt of
more than thirty miles over the rough
country roads was about as tough as
any stretch he expects to encounter
in the eastern states. but he arrived
here in good condition. Clad in a
khaki uniform and wearing a regu-
lation army campaign hat and heavy
new walking shoes, Sergeant Walsh
looks fit to duplicate his previous
tramps from coast to coast. He left
here at one o'clock for Norwich, where
he figured he would arrive early in
the evening. Sergeant Walsh is full
of confidence in his ability to over
take Weston and arrive at the Golden
Gate ahead of the aged pedestrian.
He carries letters in a canvas mail
bag, slung by strap over his Shout
der, from the editors of Boston and
Providence papers to editors of papers
n San Francisco.
Charles Bounders of Providence ac-
companied Sergeant Walsh as an UNI
pire and will travel with him as far
as New London, where a new man
will be taken on.

INTERESTING POINT
Raised by Or. Robert G. Perry Of New
York.

Dr.. Robert G. Perry Of New York,
son of ex-Mayor Franklin w. Perry Of
this CITY, has raised an interesting legal
question in regard to the right of a
trustee In bankruptcy to recover debts
due bankrupt member of the Console
dated Stock Exchange, of that city
from fellow members of the exchange
when the bankrupt is Indebted to those
other members.
The point was raised in the case Of
James e. Lynch (for whom Mr.. Torrey
is attorney, trustee of Gregory Gulick
& Co, stock brokers. The referee in
bankruptcy ruled that such debts due
the bankrupt were a part Of the estate
and members Of the exchange have no
preference. An appeal was taken by
the management of the stock exchange
to the United States district court, and
the decision Of the referee was con-
ATmed. Further appeal is to be taken
to the United States circuit court Of
appeals, which decision will probably
be final

Special Services for Holy Week-Rev.
William s. Boards Announcements.

AT the First Congregational church
Hev. William S. Beard has addressed
the members as follows: The world is
recognizing increasingly the value
OF times and seasons" of special
commemorative occasions as serving
TO strengthen in the men of today
purposes akin to those which prevailed
in the lives Of people who are thus
remembered. The Christian church is
bringing itself into line with this
movement IN its yearly celebration of
the passion and resurrection of our
LORD. Whereas Holy week was for
merly observed in certain sections Of
the church only, today its value is
very widely recognized in our denom-
nation and many others. The Chris
tian religion is a life Of fellowship
with our great Friend. It's purity and
its power are enhanced as we remind
ourselves once and again Of the depth
of the love Of our Friend for us. Its
depth is proclaimed in His crucifixion,
and the wisdom and the victory of 1t
are attested in His resurrection.
1t Is with these thoughts in mind
and In hope that the observance Of
Holy week may serve a real purpose
in the life Of this church that the
following services have been arranged:
Tuesday, The preacher for this
evening Is Kew. l.. L. west, y. D.,
minister to the Second church. Nor

Rivalry Causes Cut of $500.

1t is rumored that a reduction of
5000 in the price paid by the govern
ment for carrying the mail between
this city and Scotland has been made,
because of the keen rivalry in the
transportation business. Stages have
been run between the two places by
three different men and the offer of
one of the drivers to carry the mail for
5000 less than was being received by
John Webb for the work was the di-
rect cause for the governments max
ing the 5000 cut in the price. How
ever Mr.. Webb still has the contract
and is carrying the mail.
