The announcement that Dr. Slough and his associates would stay here for another week of the union evan gelistic campaign was one of the fea- lures of the meeting at the armory on Friday evening. How the big congre- gation of 800 felt about. it was shown when Dr. l.. l.. West asked for all to stand who wanted the evangelist to stay another week. It was a unani- nous and enthusiastic vote.
 Dr. Slough had been engaged to be- gin campaign in Ashland, Wis, on November 4, but in response to the earnest urgings of the Norwich com- mittee the Wisconsin people have agreed to postpone their meetings un- til November IS. allowing Dr. Slough to remain here through the evening of Monday, November 15.
 There was another ingathering of converts at the meeting Friday night. This took place in the after-meeting that was held, following the preaching service, and the seats inffront of the platform were well filled with those who were touched by the invitation to come forward to confess Christ.
 The big chcrus under MT. Spooner and led by thu eornet of Rev. MT. Cum ningham conducted a rousing song service to open the meeting. As a novelty, Mir. Spooner got a group Of boys who have acted as messengers to sing the chorus of a hymn and then invited the big congregation to "do as well as that, if you can"
 In the announcements Dr. Stough spoke of his opportunity to stay long CT. which was a very unusual thing for him t. do. but the local executive com- mittee had specially requested it. so that the meetings might not be dropped now. The armory meeting which had been announced for Saturday night would be cancelled on the advice of the ministers. he said. On Sunday after noon at o'clock there would be a mass meeting at the armory for young people between 12 and 30, and on Sun day night a mass meeting, which would probably be the last in the arm ory as the other services next week are to be held at the Central Baptist church.
 The solo Where Will You Spend Eternity? was given an expressive rendering in the fine baritone voice of Arthur L. Herring.
 A report on the Flower Day work was given by Mrs. Frank "A. Mitchell in the absence of Mrs. Frank A. Roath, the chairman on woman's work. Mrs. MitchelPs report told of numerous ex- periences which the visitors had had as they took the flowers to different homes, and was made so interesting that it was greeted with a burst of applause at it's close. She said that the work had grown beyond the keep ing of any records. so that it was im-- possible to say how many flowers had been distributed or how many people visited. but there had been hundreds, and they had been received with the greatest evidences of appreciation. All the institutions in the city had been favored. and late in the day a collec- tion of flowers was sent to the Norwich

FOREST FIRES,
 LOSS WILL BE ENORMOUS.
Fire Started by Hunters Has Now
 Ragged for Four Days.

Winchester, Va, Nov. 5.-The forest fires in this section continue to rage fiercely and unless rain falls within the next few hours the property loss will be enormous. Thousands of acres of valuable timber land in the Great North mountains have already been laid in waste, and the flames are spreading in all directions.
 Started by hunters on Monday last the fire has now ragged for four days in the Great North, Massanutten and Blue Ridge mountains. The town of cGaheysville, Rockingham county was threatened with destruction, and only late last night did the combined male population of the town succeed in checking the flames. The large ho- tel buildings at Black Rock Springs, in the Blue Ridge, near Grottoes. were destroyed by the fire last night, to- gether with twenty-seven cottages on the property of the Black Rock Springs company. A number of cottages on a tract adjoining the Black Rock Springs company were also burned. Orkeny Springs is also in great danger and a number of cottages have been burned in this neighborhood. In Page county the famous Dunkard church. the oldest edifice in the county. was only saved after heroic work by the farmers. The slope of Maryland Heights at Harper g Ferry is also af1ame.

WHY CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL
 STUDENTS ARE ON STRIKE
Boys Against the Double Sessions
 Girls Object to Lunch Prices.

Cleveland. Nov. 5.-All-d day sessions, broken only by pink tea luncheons at high prices, is the grievance of the five hundred pupils of the West high school, whose strike was suspended at the close of the school week this afternoon until Monday morning. A meeting of the school board has been called for Monday morning to con- slider the complaints of the students which resulted in their walking out last Tuesday.
 . The main grievance of the boys is against the forenoon and afternoon sessions. They want to work dur ing the afternoons. The girls are ob-' jecting to the price of the luncheon menu, though the boys of the football squad assert that they cannot cover their colors with glory on cream puffs and caramel ice cream, or on pickles and cookies at one cent each. Cup cakes and orange ices they declare are undignified and unmanly. As to the double sessions, the girls also have some complaint. They maintain that the art of domestic science, such as cooking sweeping and washing dishes at home. is sadly neglected when they are compelled to remain in the class rooms all day. Fearing that many might be won over by pedagugic elo- uuence, the strikers voted today against a recommendation to return provisionally and rushed to field of weeds nearby and adopted the cookie burr as their emblem. These were stuck upon their lapels as token of their determination to 'stick" to the cause of single sessions and solid food at reasonable prices.
 School Director Orr finally announc- ed that he was in favor of abolishing the lunch room concession and having the board of education supply whole some lunches at cost. The director also visited the West high school lunch room today and recommended several changes.
 It is expected that mass meeting of the parents of the strikers will be held next Wednesday night when the question of double or single sessions will be left to them in referendum vote. This plan may be altered, how ever, by possible action of the board of education in the meantime.
 All of the strikers are above the age which would give the school officials legal authority to compel their attend anpQ

THAMES LOAN & TRUST CO
 TO OPEN SATURDAY NIGHTS
Practice of Banking Houses in Larger Cities to Be Tried Here for Benefit of Customers.

For the first time in the history of Norwich banking houses, business is to be- conducted during the evening by the Thames Loan & Trust Co, which, in response to repeated re- quests from their customers, has de- cided to keep open from 7.30 to g o'clock Saturday evenings. This prac- tice will be started tonight, and it is for the convenience of the customers in the commercial department, who wish to protect their Saturday re- ceipts, or for those in the savings department who are unable to get to the bank during the regular business hours. Saturday is a short day, the bank closing at noon. for the full banking business. During the evening the bank will not conduct full bank ing business. but will be open for the convenience of it's customers.
 This has been found to meet big demand in other cities such as Water bury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hart ford, Springfield, New Bedford and Worcester, and will, no doubt, be thor oughly appreciated here. It is another of the progressive steps in this grow ing institution.

Evangelist To Remain Another Week
Big Audience Desired it by Unanimous and Enthusiastic Vote-Dr Slough Breaches on Leprosy Type of Sin Interesting Report on Flower Day.

state hospital. One old lady of 91 had kissed and fondled the flowers that she received an old colored woman who received three chrysanthemums had said they were just right because there was one for each of her rooms. One man of known anarchistic thought was so impressed that he contributed 20 cents to the worker to purchase more flowers for distribution. One poor old woman whose life had been embitter- ed for some unknown reason refused to accept the flowers, and the visitor asked prayers for her. The time giv- en to the work of Flower Day on Wed- nesday all seemed gloriously spent.
 Dr. Slough led fin prayer after he read thirty requests that had been handed in. For the basis of his ser mon. he read from Mark the story of Jesus, healing the leper. Leprosy, he said he believed was meant in the Bible to be a type of sin. In it's stealthy and insignificant entrance and gradual growth, it's tainting and spoil ing every drop of blood, this hideous disease was like sin. For you can't have sin in the man anywhere but it courses through the intellect, the heart, the will, the affections and the life so that the whole body becomes infected It is like sin in its sense of uncleanness and loathsomeness and that it can be communicated from one to another There's not a home in this city, however Christian and pure, but that is affected either directly or indirectly by every saloon. or gambling he'll or brothel that you have con- tinued to tolerate with your fran chise. .,
 Painting a vivid word picture of the man of Scripsure times whom leprosy doomed never to cross the threshold of his home and-to say goodbye to his wife and children forever, Dr. Slough said this was only a faint pie ture of sin. Like leprosy it is never satisfied until it-has eaten it's way through and through until men are but caricatures of what they once were. He pictured again the blast ing effect of sin by relating the story of the man whose face was of so di- vine a mould that the painter used him for the model of Christ, but in later years when sin had had it's course, the same man was the model for Judas Iscariot, when the artist was searching for face evil enough to represent this traitor.
 It was the divine compassion of Jesus that reached men. He touched the leper. Poor fellow, not in years had anyone touched his disease smit- ten body, but Jesus, moved with com passion, reached forth his hand and touched him. It is this spirit which is needed to cut the line that is drawn too sharply between the church and men today and is one reason why the city is so little moved. When moved with a compassion like Jesus. the church will reach down anywhere to any service for lost men, The touch of Jesus tonight brings pardon. peace, power to resist, and paradise begun. Listen to him tonight saying T will. be thou clean" and let his touch bring pardon and deliverance from your sin.
