MEMORIAL SERVICE
 FOR N. L. BISHOP
Held at the Sunday School Session at Broadway Congregational Church.

A large number was in attendance at the session of the Broadway Con- gregational Sunday school yesterday, at which there was a memorial service for Nathan l.. Bisho, D for many years prominently identified with the school and deacon in the church. The ser- vice was in charge of Assistant Su- 'perintendent Herbert w. Gallup, and was carried out as follows:
 Hymn 99, Going to the Father; pray CT, Rev. b. $. Worcester; response 12, page 286 Hymn book; Psalm 23; solo, The Souls of the Righteous Are in the Hand of God, Walter F. Lester; re- marks, H. w. Gallup; Sunday school record, c. l. Smith; song 142, Nearer. William A. Aiken and Deacon Thomas Browning; song 199, O, Master, Let Me Walk With Thee; remarks, Dea- con W. R. Burnham, Rev. Dr. Lewellyn Pratt; hymn 259, Heard Sound of Voices; Gloria.
 All the speakers referred in most touching terms to MT. Bishop and the great loss which the school and church had sustained by his death, while the remarkable influence which he had ex- erted there was likewise referred to at length. He was eulogized by them all as they touched upon different points in his life work, whether in the home, on the battlefield, at school or in the church.
 A Ledyard Tribute.
 Citizen of Ledyard writes The Bulle- tin as follows:
 There are those holding the name of Nathan Lee Bishop in grateful re- memebrance, who feel the incomplete ness of any record of his life work without the mention of his earliest ex- perience as an educator. At the age of IS, in the winter of 1858, he taught in the Fourth school district of Led yard, known as the Geer district, in the little sciIoolhouse at the foot of Geer Hill, about two miles below Po- quetanuek, on the road leading to Led- yard.
 Even then his marked ability as an educator was manifest in the ardent enthusiasm and devotion to study which he inspired in his pupils. They had a glad sense of progress and up- lift before unknown to them, and he won their lasting gratitude and regard.
 The winter when MT. Bishop taught, marked a new era in the an- nals of the neighborhood.
 He always alluded to it as "a season of unusual interest to. him. and only a feew weeks ago said that no experience in teaching had given him greater pleasure.

Heavyweights Lose at Baltic by Rank
 Decision of Umpire.

The Heavyweight football team, ac- companied by Coaches Sheehan and Burke, and crowd of rooters went to Baltic on Saturday and were de- feated, not, however, according to the rules of the game, but to those of the referee, the players believe. Doc Cote was the official and allowed the cen- ter. without passing the ball to the quarterback, to score a touchdown with only four minutes to play. The game started at 3.10. Henry kicked to Johnson, who ran the ball back 35 yards. Supa tore around right end for IS yards on forward pass by Cap tain Burke to Cummings. The ball was landed on the Baltic yard line where they were held on downs. In the sec- ond half Quarterback Gadle was un- able to drive his men through the heavy Baltic line and resorted to bunting game. Baltic tried a forward pass from the 80 yard line which failed to work and caused a penalty. Roy, aided by good interference by Henry, went around right end for 35 yards, and was brought down by Gadle on the 5 yard line. It was at this stage of the game that the fluke came. and as the referee allowed the play, the Baltics proved to be the winner, to 0. The lineup:
 Heavyweights Cummings le. Supa It, Quinn lg, Henderson c. Richardson rg, Bruso Tt, Sweeney re, Gadle qb, Burke (capt.) lhb, Johnson rhb, Pur- pie fb.
 Baltic-Standish re, Croft Tt, Adams rg, King c, Smith It, Bouchard le. Kel- ly qb, Roy rhb, Coughlin lhb, Henry (capt.) lb.
 Referee, Cote of Baltic; umpire, Sheehan of GreeneviIle; linesmen, Rydholm of Greeneville, Remmert of Baltic; timers, Burke of Greeneville, Brown of Baltic. Time, 20 and 15 min ute halves.

and the men were taken to police sta- tion. Three kegs of beer and five bot ties of whiskey were seized and taken to headquarters. The men arrested be- sides the keeper are Frederick Mar celo, William McGuire, Thomas Mur- phy, Albert Durham, Daniel Brennan, Peter McVey and Walter Burgoyne of this city, Luke Daly of Holyoke, Mi chael Duffey of Pawtucket and Daniel Kilfeather of New Haven.
 In both instances the raid was made without a hitch. none knowing of it un- til it was all over.
 The existence Of such places prob ably accounts for much of the Sunday drunkenness. as one man not found in the place admitted afterwards that he had secured bottle of whiskey in the latter place Sunday morning. The proprietor of this place was well frightened at his arrest and became so nervous after being locked up that a doctor was called to attend him. He had recovered by afternoon, when he was released on $200 bail after o'clock.
 John Dunion, who got away from the Italian house.. was caught in the evening and placed under arrest. but later secured bonds. The charge against him Is breach of the peace.

DALLAS MAYOR IS PLEASED WITH CITY Stops Over For One Day In
 Birmingham TALKS ABOUT COMMISSION  Says There Is Not Much indication of Statewide Prohibition Cam
 paien in Texas in Near
 Future.
TALKS ABOUT COMMISSION

S J. Hay, mayor of Dallas, Tex, &C.,
 companied by Mrs. Hay and a son and
 daughter, stopped in Birmingham yester-
 day. The visitors are on their way to
 New York, but Mayor Hay said he could
 not pass this way without tarrying a day
 to see the city. R. S. Munger and the
 mayor of Dallas are personal friends, and
 the former, therefore acted as an escort
 to the party. MT. Munger took the visi
 tors for a spin in one of his fast auto
 mobiles, and accompanied them to the
 city hall, where the mayor of Dallas
 called on the mayor of Birmingham. Mayor Hay is a handsome. youngish
 looking man. He is one of Dallas pro- l gressive business men, but since becom-
 Ing mayor his entire time has been devoted to the city government. Dallas like all the other important municipalities of Texas, except San Antonio, is governed py commission, including the mayor, and Mayor Hay and his four associate commissioners have just been elected without opposition for a second term The commission form of government is giving high satisfaction" said Mayor Hay My salary is $40O0 a year and the four commissioners are paid each 5000 a year. We all give our entire time the city's l l paid to the commission in salaries. the expenses of running the city government i have been decreased by several thousand i dollars a year, while at the same time
 there has been increased efficiency in ev- ] cry department"
 ] Asked If this was his first visit to Bir- mingham, Mayor Hay said he was here i b years ago, but had not stopped over | since that time. Ut goes without say
 ing that l am struck with admiration at
 the city as I find 1t today. Birmingham Las made strides indeed. It has grown to be not only great city from an in
 dustrial and mercantlme point of view, l but city of beautiful driveways and 1 beautiful residence sections
 1 Mayor Hay in reply to the question as 1 to the probability of a statewide prohi- ! bition campaign in Texas in the near fu- 1 ture, said that while there was some talk about 1t, no definite steps had been taken 1 so far as he knew Dallas is wet and 1 so are most of the other cities in Texas" said MT. Hay, and there does not seem 1 to be any very strong sentiment in favor l of changing to dry"

WARD MAY SOON
 JUMP INTO RAGE
FORMER MAYOR SAYS HE IS SIM PLY CONSIDERING MATTER AND IS NOT READY To MAKE AN AM NOUNCEMENT.

The Ward boom has made sheriff politics look up. The new stir in the water is taken on all sides to mean another whirling nerve-straining con test It has enlivened the street corner gossip, and the presence of the ex- Mayor on the streets conferrlng with his friends is leading many to believe that he is already eampai gning.
 When asked if he has decided 10 made the race he replies: Almost. I've got the fever.e It is believed by his friends that before the week is oyer he will be an announced candidate. Asked for an interview, he said. Yes, 1 am seriously considering the mat ter. The business interests arc after a business administration of county af- fairs. This, together with the enforce ment of the law would be the basis of my campaign.
 On Mir. Wards desk wete many as- sLtances from different sources show ing that he would receive strong sup port from all classes. These letters are from the country as well as the city.
 The quality of the men who are all ready in the race is really the cause Of the revival of interest. Each new en- try is going up against hard workers, and men hard to beat in Walter K. Me Adory John B. Reid. Walter Moore, Sam F. Teague Tom s. Pounds Lucien c. Brown and Judge Samuel Weaver
 This will total eight candidates for the office and while two or three may be expected to back down, the promise of battle royal is in the air.
 There are no new announcements for the office. Jack Brown is making a canvass against Joe Hill, the present road supervisor, and both men are lin- ing up their friends.
 In spite of other reports John Me Gov is in the race for auditor and the other two candidates, owen Gillespie and Robert Morris, will add spice to 1nis branch of county politics.
