REV.. G. H. BEARD
 IS DISSATISFIED
Don't Like the Bill Limiting Saloons to One to Every 800 in Population.
SENDS LETTER OF CRITICISM
Local Pastor Believes Temperance People Should Have Fought on for Limita.
 tion Measure of One Saloon to ,O0O
 People.

Rev. Gerald H. Beard, pastor of the Park Street Congregational church, has been heard from up Hartford way. He does not like the bill which in all likelihood will become a law at this session of the legislature, the bill which provides that hereafter liquor licenses in this state shall be issued population. He has written a letter of a somewhat tart nature. The letter was sent to one of the temperance bri- gade at Hartford.
 MT. Beard said in substance that the temperance forces should have gone down fighting with colors flying, if nec- essary, insisting upon a bill that would limit saloons to one to every 1000 in population.
 He does not regard the bill that is agreed upon and which has received the approval of the temperance forces sometimes pleads with vigor. On the other hand those who are familiar with legislative ways, feel that the temperance forces have won a big vic tory. However, despite the heat, MT. Beard finds time to write.
 If the bill as 1t stands becomes a law, POP saloons now doing business in this city can be forced out of business, providing the owners are proven gull the bill that no new licenses shall be granted in any place where there are more than one saloon to 800 people and under the law 1t will be twenty years or more before the number of saloons in this city can be increased.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has Revo1utionized
 the Treatment of Skin Diseases

New Discovery Has Revolutionized
 the Treatment of Skin Diseases
 Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the marvellous skin remedy known as pos lam, which. it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin dis eases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when 1t Is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt rheum. rash, cruSted humors, scaIy scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishcs such as pinples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam is ap- piled, the complexion being cleared overnight.
 Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size for minor troubles) and the $2 jar, and either of these may. be ob- tained in Bridgeport at Jennie Hamil- ton's Pharmacy as we'll as other reli- able drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an ex- perimental package which will be sent by maN free of charge, upon request | by the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York City.

St. Mary's hall was the scene of a delightful entertainment on the occa- sion of the graduation of the class of 1909. Essays were interspersed with many vocal and instrumental selec- tions. The prize essay reward do- mated by Mir. Sexton, was rendered in a scholarly manner by Master Will liam Satolli Kearns. MT. Kearns gave good authorities and facts to prove that the first white settlers on our continent were the Irish.
 Miss Irene Dooley in her essay de- scribed very vividly many admirable virtues of Joan of Arc, whom the Ro- man Catholic church has lately added to her list of saints.
 The Salutatorian of the class, Miss Clara Conroy, showed in her essay how very important it was to stand class, To-day and Duty"
 The class leader, in his valedictory, brought forth the advantages gained by being educated in Catholic at mosphere.
 A very amusing feature of the exer- cises was the class prophecy. MT. J. Kearney really did justice to this number. His classmates were living or supposed to be pictured about twen- ty years from graduation day. His boy friends he treated admirably. giv- ing some of them the girls of the class for life partners. others having joined the clerical band, and others still per forming on the stage.
 The most pleasing number among the vocal selections was the duet the Lilly and the Rose, in which Miss Clara Conroy sang soprano and Miss Irene Dooley alto. Master stephen the hhreprous selection entitled tsMrs. Candle on Spring Clothing In the declamatory selection Francis Dunn took the part of Cassius and Thomas men showing talent for acting.
 Miss Irene Shannon, in the .recita- ton the "Three Ca1fS', took the part of the Soul; Miss J. Gilroy represented Kearns, the Angel Each young lady did credit to her part.
 The poem, "Our Parting, was pleas ingly. rendered by Miss Joseph Bald win. An uncommon feature was the musical selection, the Flower Song.' Misses M. Goodwin and L. McEroy were the piano performers; Masters J. Lisko and c. McElroy, violins: and Miss R. Cuneo, mandolin. The class song, "Alma Mater, was rendered by
 Seated on the stage were the pastor, Rev. J. J. Murphy, Rev. B. Frederick, and the principal of the school. Rev: T. P. Mulcahy. The presentation of diplomas and medals were by the pas tor. Father Murphy addressed the graduates and gave them very father ly advice concerning their future ca reer.

THIS TIME NO
 STAGE FOR CLASS
Innovation by Which City Normal School Graduates Faced Speaker and
 Sat With Audience.
CLASS FLOWER ADORNED THEM
Dr. SnzzaIIo Declares That Monastic Idea Has Too Long Dominated Education. Culture, He Says, Consists in Right Action and not in Mere Thought.

Rendered almost oblivious Of the in tense heat by the interest attendant upon fhe address of the speaker of the evening, a large assemblage witnessed the graduation of sixteen young ladies of the City Normal School last evening at Warner Hall. As a signal improve ment upon the mode of previous com mencements, the graduates and the faculty occupied seats in the audi torium. being thus enabled to face the speaker and enjoy a greater degree Of comfort than would have been afford ed by positions on the stage.
 The graduates were attractively gowned in white. their sole ornaments being sprays of sweet peas. the class flower.
 The admonitory address was deliv- cred by Dr. Henry Suzzal1o. professor of the philisophy of education, Teach CTS College. Columbia University. who was introduced by Superintendenv Deane.
 Dr. Suzzallo was emphatic in his statement that culture is not the re- mcnt and efficiency of mans act. " said he, constitutes culture" The ad- dress. which was a multum in parvo gem, was well received and apprecia- lively applauded,
 In an interview Dr. Suzzallo asserted that. while he had always loved study. he had disliked attending school. being oppressed by the ever-attendant con ScfouSneSS or De1nR corralleQ. Onre- stricted freedom, however. he regarded as possessing manifold dangers in the case of very young students
 A congratulatory address by Super int endent .Deane preceded the pEesenta- ton of diplomas. He impressed the graduates with his belief that Nor mal course is not a complete prepara- tion for teaching, but for beginning. He proclaimed that the motives actu- ating them in the choice of a profession should be ennobIing, not merely a mat ter of financial. consideration. In ad- dition to his congratulation upon hay ing completed their course. the super intendent felicitated the young ladies upon having listened to the instructive address which they had just heard.
 Assisted by Miss Besse Howes. prin- cipal of the school. and Gordon Gold stein. diminutive page, Dr. Deane presented diplomas to Fannie Decker Barrows. Carrie May Barske. Gertrude Marguerite Curnias, Mary Frances Dalton. Anna Adella FitzRoy, Louise Catherine Greninger.Ida Gertrude Hol- royd, Julia Heating, Nora Agatha Kelly. Mary MacNamara. Hattie Matilda Murphy.

The boy broke away and ran into Elm street, the man after him. One yard from Main street the boy turned and when his assaiiant came up he sunk the blade of a jack-knife into his body un- til it penetrated the lung. Drawing out the knife, the boy continued his flight to the police station, where he gave himself up. This morning An drew was placed under s1 900 bonds to await the result of the stabbing. His victim was taken to St. vincent's hospital in the ambulance. His chances of recovery are said to be good. l-
 Both combatants are Italians. They reside in Lexington avenue, and this morning Detective Arnold took state ment from the boy. The latter said he was protecting himself and that he told Mudula to draw a knife to pro- tect himself, if he had one. MuduIa claimed that the boy had falsely re- ported him to sister-in-law.

POSTPONE SUGAR Mems Trial.

New York, Nov. 22.-TriaI of DIV
er Splitter and the weighers involved
in the sugar frauds against the gov
ernment. of which the Sugar Trust Is
accused, was again postponed today.
The authorities are seeking evidence
against the "men higher up'r hnd
Splitter and his ~accomplices will not
be tried until h government Is in
possession of proofs of the wfnols
conspiracy.
ii. l.. Stimson and Winfred T. Den
ison, who have charge of the cases
for the government, are known to be
in possession of facts which showed
that regularly once a month a report
was male to responsible officers of
the company exhibiting the amount
of money that had been saved to the
corporation through the underweigh-
ing frauds and the bribery of govern
ment weigners on the docks.
II is the contention of the govern
ment that the books of the corpora
| ton contain entries OF these "sav
ings" in some form. IL they do this
will be evidence that men much
higher up" than Splitter, who for
years had charge of the ~company's
docks at Williamsburg, had guilty
knowledge all along of h crimes

government would pursue its investi-
cation no further han h grave OF

theory that Havemeyer was not the
only officer of h Trust who knew
what was going on.
Attorney General Wickersham, IL is
known, has been informed of the eff.
forts to procure these Indictments,
and Is said to lay given them his
approval. This means that the whole
power of the government will be us
