Young Theologue
 Does not Believe

New York, June 15.-A1though the Rev. Archibald Black, young Edin- burgh theological graduate, declares that he does not believe the Biblical accounts of Adam and Eve, the Virgin birth, or the Resurrection, he was ad- mttte ed yesterday to the pulpit by the New York Presbytery after warm debate on heresy. H1is case was re- gently held up and taken under ad- visement.
 Among the questions fired; at the young theological student during the examination were the following:
 Do you believe the story of Adam and Eve as related in the Bible?"
 Mot in it's literal sense, accept 1t as a figure" he replied.
 And do you not believe that they fell from eating the apple?"
 "No."
 ..Do you believe in the Virgin birth of Christ2''
 .T believe that Christ is divine, but I do not accept the story of the Vir- gin birth"
 '.what is your position as to the Resurrection2'
 'I do not believe in the flesh and blood resurrection of Christ"
 The Rev. Edward Wylie, of the Scotch church, the Rev. Dr. Richards, of the Brick church, and the Rev. Dr. Dufield of the Old First, supported MT. Blacks theological position before the Presbytery.

Record for Attendance
 Broken at Smith $

The free tickets issued in Saturday s Farmer for Smiths Theatre were ta- ken advantage of by hundreds and as a result the playhouse broke all rec ords for a single days attendance. The free tickets are good at any per formance to-day if you didn't go yes- terday don't miss going to-day.
 The new managers for their open ing bill presented a wonderful show for the price of admission. No one can fail to enjoy the hundred minutes of performance presented. Such val ue for the money cannot fail to at tract large audiences and there is ev- cry prospect that Messrs. Bostock & Hennessey will do a big business all Summer.
 Vaughn and Patterson, entertain CTS of ebony hue opened the show with a fast singing and dancing act which well pleased the audience. Wu. Rus sell followed, rapid cartoon and crayon artist. Reid and Catlin are two clever and good looking girls who do a sister act of singing and danc- ing far above the average.
 Lake ard Serge present an uproar- ious comedy sketch entitled 'sThe ac- tor and the stage carpenter" and the packed house that waited to see them were well paid for their time. The act itself is something out of the or dinary in it's style.
 Four reels of pictures completed the performance and we doubt that it can be duplicated elsewhere at the ad- mission charged.

Wide embroideries
 to make dresses.

A handsome lot of em- broideries of nice quality and of such a width that they will make up into effec- tive summer dresses.
 The fabric is of good tex ture; firm and yet light of weight. Upon it are em- broidered tasteful patterns; most of them in eyelet effect but some in equally-pretty closed fashion.
 In width, these embroid- cries measure 54 inches. That makes it possible to have a dress made up from them to very-great advant- age. Not over five yards is needed to make a skirt and waist that will match per fectly. They are well-adapt- ed, too, for making up in Princess style.
 Extra value -$1.25 and $1 a yard.

STILL WORTH SEEING
 IS "SHORE ACRES"
The Famous Scene in the
 Tower Well Rendered by MT. Thee and MT. Siggins.

Complete in all the details of a Down East Home was the stage at Poli's last night, when the curtain went up on the first act of that good. old standard drama, "Shore Acres There was the old fashioned chimney with it's little old stove, the kitchen sink, the pump, with it's real water. There was the tin pail with its tin dip per and the open cupboard, its shelves laden with the paraphernalia of the thrifty housekeeper of a New England rural home.
 The real turkey dinner has already been so thoroughly exploited that nothing further need be said. except that it was served, and that the audi ence enjoyed it more than the actors. although it was, to the former, a Barme ecide feast. Only Miss Fleming g was lacking to make the show com- plete.
 But as it appeared, Miss Fleming has several long parts to learn, for plays soon to be produced. and it was thought best that she should have a period of rest and vacation.
 The heroine's place was taken by that very dainty little woman. Patti Allison. Mr. Ince played Nathaniel of Martin Berry. These two. had, of course, the stage to themselves during the lighthouse scene,f which they did with veri-similitude which would not nave olSSrdceQ Ine men WHO oTiSiLd ly made 'fShore Acres famous. As for Miss Pringle, who plays the part of Martha, the housewife, it would be better if she should approach some what nearer to the placid repetitious drawl of the original of the charac- ter. Rfpened, rather than soured, by the narrowness of the life she leads, should Martha be, and her voice plain tive. and not too sharp. Nevertheless Miss Pringle gives a good perform anCe All the country characters are there, just as they have been known to us. They are not less worth the seeeing on the stage at Polls now than they always have been.

A Caroline Island. Legend.

The Caroline islands group includes, besides coral islands, five mountainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs. Among the many queer legends of these children of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and their inhabitants. They think they themselves were very strong in tho water-in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef when a man appeared from the west with basket of soil on his shoulders. He had started out to make an island with a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him, "Give us little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot swim" He took out a handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island. As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole in the bas- ket so as he proceeded on his way he left a trafl of land behind. Suddenly he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the islands were formed.

An Apt Answer.

The dangers associated with the fish ing industry on the Newfoundland banks are many and grave. Foremost among them is that the dories may be upset while fishing, which involves almost inevitable loss of their occu- pants. Callous captains, secure them selves from the necessity of going, fire quently order their men out when the weather does not warrant 1t, and dis astrous are the results. One of these brutal shippers was aptly answered once by a bank man of whose courage or capacity there was no question.
 'Out with youv' shouted the cap tain. ''Hurry up there! It's a fishing dayw
 "Oh, no, skippery replied the dory man. "It's too stormy today for a boat to fish"
 Nonsense, manw rejoined the skip per. eff my old grandmother was here today she'd get her dory out"
 Then, skipper" said the man. 'ff her grandson will come out with me now I'll haul my trawl."
 It is needless to say no dories were launched from that schooner on that date.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Barrie and kiplinq.

MT. Barrie was one day at Waterloo station in hurry to catch a train He was hastening from the bookstall laden with papers, ''a good many six penny ones among them," he dolefully relates, when, in rushing around a corner, he fell into the arms of Rud- yard Kipling, equally in a tearing hurry. They turned on each other with scowling faces, then smiled in recognition and asked each other whither he went. Then Kipling, ex- claiming. Lucky beggar, you've got papersv' seized the bundle from Bar rfe, flung him some money and made of. "But you did not stoop to pick up his dirty halfpence, did youT que ried one of MT. Barrie's hearers anus edly. Didn't I, though" returned Barrie, and added ruefully, But he hadn't flung me half enough."-St. James Gazette.

Conditions That Unfit For Marriage.
 The low paid employee today can sue ceed as well alone as with a wife, which his ancestors could not do. At the same time his selfish enjoyments are greater without her, for he may live irresponsibly, without motive to save and with all his surplus available for wayside pleasures of an antisocial sort. The disintegrating forces of a great city upon homeless youth are too obvi- ous to need emphasis. The wage earn ing girl, on her part, is likely to acquire the taste of fragmentary, pointless and unproductiye spending. Both form habits harmful to the altruistic mo- lives of group Hving-of the home idea. A man who goes from the saloon, street corner or cheap pleasure club, a girl who leaves the dance hall and pave ment glitter to make a home for him, the bare necessities of which are hardly
 met by his wages, are not qualified by their experiences to bring to a success full issue the supreme test of character that makes stable a high standard

A Soft Anawer,

It was in 1872 that George Chesmore Bromley, author of Long Ago and Later On," became member of the Bo- hemia club of San Francisco and soon found himself "Sire of the Low Jinks,'' which occasion he vividly recalls, and especially his arrival at home after ward. He writes: My dear little wife awoke at my entrance and inquired the time. looked at my watch and re pliel, Ten minutes past 1O,' and then laid the watch on the manteIpiece. Having some doubts as to the correct ness of my reply, the little woman arose and looked for herself. What time did you say it wasr she asked again. Ten minutes past 1O,' said I. Ten minutes past 10! Why, it only lacks ten minutes of g. said she. Is that soY said I. Why, bless my soul, how time fiesl I had no idea that I had been home so long, This was an other occasion when I realized that a soft answer turneth away wrath"

 Hartford. June 15--The effort to ad- journ the House of Representatives until next fall because of pressure of business was made this morning but failed. Representative DormitZer of Woodbury introduced resolution pro- viding that the House adjourn June 3Cth until November 1St. Representa- tive Dunne of Willimantic immediately moved the previous question and the resolution was defeated 69 to 58. Chair man Burnes of the Judiciary commit tee stated that his committee was in such shape that all reports could be in in a couple of weeks and later the House passed a resolution ordering all committee chairmen to make reports on or before June 29th.
 When the measure increasing the ap- propriation for office expenses of State Highway Commissioner Macdonald to SIS, 900 a year for the next two years came up in the House it provided an opportunity for all his enemies to get at the commissioner. They were a handful in number but put up wig orous opposition and took the House over half hour to pass the bill.
 Representative Carey of Southington and Whiton of New London were made House conferees on the Carey bill pro- viding for the extension of telephone lines which passed the House but was defeated in the Senate. The appoint ment of Gardiner Greene of Norwich and Attorney General Holcomb to be judges of the superior court were pass ed by the House. the vote being by ballot.
 Representative Bishop. who was not in the House last week when the au- tomobfle bill was under discussion, in- troduced a number of amendments to this bill which were ordered printed. This bill is the order of the day in the House for tomorrow but 1t is expected that some agreement between the in terested parties will be reached at a conference this afternoon and sub stitute bill satisfactory to all parties will be offered tomorrow.
 Among the favorable reports in the House this morning were those on measures prohibiting black listing, pro- hfbiting the unauthorized use of badges. providing for the inspection of bake shops and carrying approprfa- tions for the Connecticut Agricultural College which total $99, 900.
 Governor Weeks sent to the Sem ate. this morning the nominations to the new state board. of arbitration and mediation. The members are George A. Cowles of Middletown: Philip Pond of New Haven and George Hurst of Hartford. In executive session later in the day the Senate confirmed the nomination of George A.

s... cort. Money.

When Fanny Kemble spent her sum- mers in Massachusetts she engaged a neighbor to drive her regularly about the country. On their first excursion he began to discuss the crops and the history of the people, when Mrs. Kem- bIe said in her dramatic fashion, "Sir, I have engaged you to drive, not talk" " The farmer kept his peace and when the vacation was over sent in his bill. What is this item, sir?" she asked. 'I do not understand it." With equal gravity he rejoined: Sass, $5. don't often take it, but when do charge" The bill was paid, and it made firm friend of Mrs. Kemble ever after Christian Register.

The Amertcan Eagle.

Our baldheaded eagle, so called be- cause the feathers on the top of his head are white. was called the Wash ington eagle by Audubon, the great nat uralist. Like Washington. he is brave and fearless, and as his name and great ness are known the world over so can the eagle soar to heights beyond others. The eagle was adopted as the emblem of the United States in 1785, sinct when it has been used on the tips of flag poles. coins, United States seals and on the shield of Liberty Washington Star.

wrestling with the sp.n1ard.


 When Walter Williams, from Colum- bus, Miss, was in Spain in the sum- mer of 1903 he called upon a provin- cial editor in the interest of the St. Louis exposition. The next day the paper had the following: Waiter Will Hams of the United States purchased the state of Louisiana and next year will give celebration, to which he in- vites his fellow journalists of Europe" MT. Williams again called upon the ed ftor and thoroughly explained matters. The editor apologized and printed this correction: Governor Francis of Mis- souri has purchased large tract of land in the Great American desert, and Walter Williams is here to invite the journalists of Spain to show which the governor will give next year.. MT. Williams fled the place, fearful the ed itor might explain some more.

On the breakfast table on huge dish rested five thick slabs of bacon, upon which five rigid eggs had slowly bled to death Presently RossetH appear ed in his dressing gown, with slippers down at heel, and devoured the dainty repast like an ogre" That meal was too much for Meredith, and he sacri- feed three months rent rather than see it repeated
