missionary in Algeria, at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, last night. In
a way they are the most religious people
in the world. No matter how many sins
they commit-stea, lie or anything else,
If they say i take Mohammed as my
prophet they believe they will go to

The speaker stated that girls and wom-

when a boy Is born into a household
neighbors flock in and congratulate the
father, as they believe the Lord has
blessed him. but if the new born is girl
they believe that the Lord has placed a
curse upon the father. He said that
from the time a woman is born she is

which is to teach her that he is the head

Both the pastoral and the militant

were presented by Rev. F. B. Meyer of
London, president of the Sunday School
Association of the World, and Rev. S. D.
Swemer of Arabia at the service last
night at the Church of the Covenant.
Hundreds were turned away from the
doors of the church. unable to gain admis-
sion while others waited their turn out
side in the hope of hearing part of the
addresses.
.'Instead of praying TO Christ asking
Him to help u.s. said DIR. Meyer, Ought
we not instead to ask Him To let us help
Him? Every morning when we get up let
runner for the day. and hold ourselves
ready TO do any little thing He may in
trust to us. Perhaps il may be only
speaking a kind word to the elevator boy;
it is by doing the little things that we

LAW SET FORTH TO THE NEWSPAPERS.
Abstrict of the Howell Case Quoted in
 Kritchman Trial


 When Judge H. J. Curtis in the su- perior court in Waterbury last week summarily ended the Kritchman mur- der trial upon motion of States At torney J. P. Kellogg, on the ground that letter printed in Waterbury newspaper might have influenced the minds of the jury. he called the at- tention of the newspapers of the state to the decision of the supreme court of errors iii lthe suit of the state against Howell, contained in Volume 80 of the Connecticut reports.
 On Monday Judge w. H. Williams, trial, repeated the warning saying: 1T desire to seriously call the attention of the press to the c9s se of the state against Howell, as reported in the S0th Connecticut, and sincerely hope there will be no reason to call 0y one to account for a violation of the law. It is essential to the rights of the ac article should not be printed against the accused or the state so as to cause a miscarriage of justice."'
 The suit of the state against Howell was decided in 1908, the defendant being the publisher of the Waterbury Herald" and the Bridgeport Herald, . He was brought before Judge George w. Wheeler charged with contempt of court, the contempt consisting in the fact that both prior to and during the trial of a case in Danbury the papers mentioned had published. articles tending to unduly interfere with the administration of justice and to preju- dice the public and the jury as to the merits of cause just before and dur ing it's trial" Judgment was given against me defendant, who appealed, and the supreme court found no error, In his opinion Judge Thayer esaid:-
 '1t makes no difference in it's effect upon the public whether an article, re- fiecting upon the court in cause on trial and improperly commenting upon the evidence and disparagfng the cause of one or the other of the par ties and calculated to prevent a fair trial is published with criminal intent or with good intent. It brings con- tempt upon the court in the public mind and is contempt of the court in either case
 t'No evidence was offered to show that the offensive articles ever came to the attention of the court or jury and the defendant argues that they there fore, could not have obstructed or in- terfered with the course of justice. But articles circulated through the neighborhood when a trial is in pro- gress may influence the trial without being read by the court or jury. Wit nesses may be intimidated or other wise influenced by them. A sentiment favorable or unfaVorable to one or the other of the parties to the case may be made to so pervade the community as to reach the court room and the triers and interfere with the fair and impartial performance by the latter of their duties. When therefore, articles calculated to interfere with the fair trial of a cause and thus to obstruct justice are so published and circulated it is not necessary, in order to consti- ute them contempts that they actually reach the eyes of the court or jury"

GET UP BARLEY
 AND SEE COMET
Halley's Luminary Visitor Arrived at perhiliOn Last Night and is Now on Its Return Journey Through
 Space.

Halley's comet passed through an interesting phase of it's existence last night at 1O::3O, when it arrived at peri felion.
 No, perihelion is not the name of a town where the comet will pause for exhibition purposes, but it is that portion of the comets orbit nearest the sun.
 After the comet passes perihelion :t will rise in the eastern sky just be- fore dawn, and wi'l plainly be visible to the eye for tho first time during it's present appearance.
 The earth and comet will approach each other rapidly after perihelion is passed, until on May 20 the distance will be 12,OOO,000 miles. Then the comet attains it's greatest brilliancy and the tail seems greatly increased l in size. After a few nights it will fade away rapidly.
 Of late the comet has shown a re- newal of internal activity, which greatly increases it's brilliancy. This is ascribed by astronomers to the fact that it is now receiving it's full charge of heat from the sun. The best time 10 see the comet in the morning will be between May 10 and 16. On the latter date it will be twenty times as bright as it is now. After May IS it will appear in the western heavens, setting after the sun. At its period of maximum brilliancy it will stretch from the horizon to a point a third the way to the zenith.
