ALL MUST DIE.

A man that lives three score and ten
can say as did King Solomon, Gan is
vanity and vexation of soul"
Perhaps he brings to memory the rec
election Of wife and children who once
made home happy. Seeing it all taken
by sin, he can say as Solomon, ''all is
vanity and vexation ofspirit."
The tongues of wife and children lie
silent in death. The organ, with book
open, waits for the loved ones to sing
praises to God, but they have gone to
sing with the angels above, while the
loved ones whisper to the father 1--WE
will sing together again some bright day
for the music is with us, and we will
watch the gate for our dear old father
while it was your great loss on earth to
give us up, it has been our great gain.
The man that is three score and ten
should be the happiest person on earth,
for he knows that his time ere is short
short i'm suffering with sin and the
troubles Of this life; it has given him
time to gain many things in pursuit of,
but he is now in pursuit of the joys of
Heaven, which he can never lose and
which can not be taken from him.
With these promises, let the aged re-
joice and the young prepare for the sol
emn hour Of death, for AN must stand
before the judgment bar of God aud give
an account of him or herself

LOEWE A PUPPET IN HANDS OF ANTI BOYCOTT ASSOCIATION
 REVEALED BY EATERS TRIAL

effcrt to prove in court that the de- fendants are being backed morally and financially in their suit by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. In this case. so far as public interest is concerned at least, the original plaintiffs and de- fendants will be mere figureheads and the fight will be waged directly be- tween an organization representing the manufacturers of the entire East and the American Federation of Labor The outcome of the suit. it is expected will have a greater effect on the fu- ture relations of manufacturers and organized labor than any court pro- ceeding barring the Gompers-Mitchell- Morrison contempt decision, in recent years
 Loewe admitted that each member of the association was assessed one tenth of one per cent. of the total pay roll of his factory for time not ex- ceeding six months each year until the protection fund amounted to S250. .000. When this sum was reached. the wit ness said. the assessment ceased un- til the fund shrunk to s100.000, when the assessment was again levied.
 ''The bylaws of the American Anti Boycott Association" said the witness provide that the membership of the association shall be kept a profound secret. I admit. however. that I was one of the organizers and I have no objection to telling the public what the aims of the association have been.''

Christmas Spirit
 Spreads Cvcr City
Ccontinued from Page 1.)

8 women and 64 men in St. vfncent's.
 Real turkey will be served to the 65 inmates of the Bridgeport Orphan Asy- lum. On Christmas eve. at 5 o'clock. all the little people will gather to sing Christmas carols. play games. and have general good time around a big tree. It Is expected that the wealthy folks who have done much in past years will not relax this Christmas. but will provide the playthinzs and gifts that go t2 make the visit of santa Claus to be looked forward to as a memorable event of the year. When they retire the boys and girls will hang up their stockings and will ty hear the ring of Santa's reindeers' hoofs upon the roof. The Christmas dinner will comprise turkey and cram berry sauce. and host of good things. and the youngsters will not be re- strained by any rules of diet.
 The needy families of men who are in the jail are to have a good Christ mas dinner provided through MT. and Mrs Peter Rouland. and the Slum- workers from the money which is dropped in the little blue kettles on the street. It Is hard enough to have the husband father or son or brother In jail at the Christmas season but 1t Is doubly hard to have to suffer for food and to see the little ones go with out toys This year the Slum workers while carefully investigating as usual to see that only the most needy fami- lies are helped. have decided to in- clude some 20 families whose bread winners are in the jail and who have end -he far officials They have some 50 other families on the list, who have been suggested as especially needy by Supt- Brennan of the City Charities L> partnsent and some 75 more who have been discovered by the visiting investigators.
 This will make about 15o baskets to go out These basrets cost to make up s1.35 each so that the little blue kettles of the Sum Workers will have to collect about s200 to meet this ex- pense. Up 10 Monday night only s51 had come in and the wonderful faith of Mir. and Mrs. Rouland is undergo ing a hard test as they stand in the cod hour after hour until they are chilled to the marrow.
 Bridgeport will perhaps never under stand or appreciate these good people until they are dead and gone and per haps not then. but to those who know them best, two more unselfish peo- p'9 havs never worked and sacrificed more untiring and patiently for the poor and needy of this city and they ought to have what funds they need for the support of their good work Just now IL is Christmas cheer. and money n help their cause should go into the blue kettles of the Slum Work CTS.
 Through the efforts of the Queens Daughters. one of the local charitable orgs nizations. 25 needy families will receive big baskets laden with food stuffs to make up a substantial and wholesome Christmas dinner. Each basket will contain a five pound roast of pork, a peck of potatoes. peck of turnips. two quarts of onions, a big loaf of home made bread. one pound O fcoffee two pounds of sugar, one can of condensed milg. oranges and candy.

Loewe. the chief plaintiff. was forced today on the witness stand to admit that his suit was being backed by the American Anti Boycott Association. that the as- sociation was paying all expenses and that the association was organized for the express purpose of helping Loewe win his suit against organized labor. The witness admitted that he was one of the organizers of the assoc 'ation. the membership Of which he declared embraces practically all the leading manufacturers in the eastern States. and that the organization was one of the most powerful foes of the boycott in existence in the United States.

The motion to set aside the verdict of the jury was denied this morning. and Napoleon Blssonnette was sem fenced to spend the remainder of his life in the penitentiary. by Judge Ralph Wheeler. who said:
 'T am of the opinion that the jury would have been justified in finding beyond a reasonable doubt that the as- sault made by Demery on Bissonnette was slight, momentary, and had been entirely discontinued when the shot was fired. and that Demery had turn ed his left side toward Bissonnette and was not looking at the time, so that Bissonnette vas able to draw the pistol and fire without his motion be- ing seen by Demery.
 Tt would also appear that the jury, without prejudice. might find upon all the evidence that the shooting was from previous i'll will aud animosity. and from previous resolution to shoot Demery in case of further interference with the Bissonnette family affairs. or In case of any assault made by Dem cry upon him. such as was made and not from sudden anger or passion aroused by the assault and the accom- panying circumstances or from appre- hension of immediate bodily harm.
 Tn view of all the evidence in the case. and of the principles and grounds upon which alone the court could set aside the verdict of the jury. I am of the opinion that the motion must be denied"
 Friday Bsssonnette was found guilty of second degree murder. [ Yesterday morning Attorney Chamberlain made plea for the accused. so that the court, desiring to look further into the matter, put off the sentence till Fri day Tnorning of this week But the matter came up today. Bissonnette took his sentence bravely. He still asserts his innocence. He chatted with his keepers for the first time since his trial. and was led from the building to the jail on North avenue He will be taken in a few days to Wethersfield. Following the sentence counsel for Bissonnette took an appeal to the Supreme court
