Pastor Evangelist

One of the evidences of the iT1- sreasing tide of religious activities in Bridgeport is the coming to our city of Rev. Albert F. Pierce, DID,, who ts known as the pastor evangelist of the Presbyterian churches in the vicinity of New York. Or. Pierce has under his care some forty churches snd goes from one to another con- ducting special services and cooper atfng in every way with the prob Iems of each community. He begins his services here at the First Pres byterian church on the last Sunday of the month and will preach every Sunday evening. Saturday excepted for the following two weeks. pr. Pierce is well known to the Congre- gatfonalists of the city. having been pastor of the famous church at Brockton. Mass, for ten years. When he left that field to take up his pres 4nt work the Congregationalists wrote Of him: .@The results of this pastorate refute the charge that all churches are decadent and inefficient, for 276 have united with the church, with a net gain in membership of TOT. and $tos000 have been expended in the purchase of a parsonage, new organ and church renovations."

GRANGE FAYORS
 UTILITIES BILL
STATE MASTER HEALEY Ex- PLAINS HIS CONDUCT IN LAST LEGISLATURE AND PROMISES TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME.

Hartford, Jan. 1.-The annual meeting of the State Grange came to an end yesterady afternoon. The ques- ton of supporting the public utilities bill came up in a recommendation from the committee on the good of the order. The state master, l.. H. Healey, in an endeavor to make a the measure at the last session of the Legislature, in spite of the fact that the grange had previously gone on record as favoring the project, made an explanation. He said that V hen he opposed the passage of the bill at the legislative hearing last year it was because he first believed such a measure to be unnecessary in Connecticut. He afterwards became active in the matter because the exe- cutive committee of the State Grange agreed with him in opposing it, al- though all were unaware at the time that the grange at the meeting year ago had gone on record as favoring it. He promised not to take action again without consulting the secre- tary's books and also promised, if the grange went on record this time as favoring the measure, to act as strongly at the next session of the Legislature in support of it as he had acted last year in opposition to it.
 The report of the committee is as follows:
 Resolved. That this State Grange records it's regret at the defeat of the public utilities bill at the last session of the Legislature, and that we de- rnand that a public utilities commits sion be established in Connecticut to safeguard the rights of the people of this state.

Alarm Cock Feeds
 and Waters Horses

Hartford, Jan. 14-During the cold of two weeks ago. George Howe, of Centre Hill, Manchester, began to won- der how he might have his horses wa tered and fed early in the morning and at the same time how he might be able to stay snugly wrapped up in bed.
 The result was an invention--a prac- ticaI invention-which is operating daily and well at the Howe stables. MT. Howe has rigged up an ordinary alarm clock. a big gong. At the same time the key which. when set at half past five operates on the back of the clock unwinds cord, which, attached to a double leverage light wire, re- leases a weight. This weight in turn slides several quarts of oats into each stall and removes the covers of the water Daiis.
 Thus by simply loading his invention with water and oats and winding the alarm clock. Hr Howe sleeps until he wishes to get up, while every morning regularly, on the dot. his horses hear their breakfast gong and by the time they are on their feet and ready their morning rations are awaiting them.
 Moreover, all the horses are fed simultaneously and there is no jealous neighing because one horse is fed be- fore his neighbor.

GRAVE CRISIS
WHOLESALE ARRESTS OF SPAN ISH OFFICERS-PLOTTING AGAINST THE
 THRONE.
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Madrid, Jan. 14.-The council of ministers is in secret session today considering a reported serious disaf- lection in the army and 8 widespread plot among many of the officers to join hands with the anti-monarchial party. The discovery of this condi- ton in the army, it is declared to- day, was responsible for yesterday s " wholesale arrest and Imprisonment of the captain-generals of Madrid, Val encia, Valladolid and Corrunna and many of the colonels and captains un- der them rather than the demonstra- ton by officers against the award of honors for Moroccan service The demonstration took place in front of the office of the Correspondents Mili- tar and was in approval of the mili- tary journals criticisms of the gov ernments awards. According to in formation in the possession of the government, the demonstration had 8 deeper meaning.
 As Spanish troops have hitherto alone upheld the monarchy against the ever increasing popular discon- tent, an army disaffection at this time would result in the most disastrous consequences. The fact that many oi the officers arrested yesterday have been ordered courtmartialed is con- serious charge will be lodged against them than that of merely promoting a demonstration of protest over the government awards.
 The conspiracy is believed to be fathered by Juan De La Cierva, for mer minister of the interior, and to be aimed at the Liberals cabinet.

 -It seems to be the common idea that one of the functions of the may or is to introduce every sideshow that comes to the city, he said. 'I have been importuned to introduce some- body or something every night for the last three weeks, and I have de cided that it is about time to cut 1t out
 When the manager of Peary, who discovered the North Pole, suggested to me few days ago that it was my duty to introduce the explorer, who has announced that he will not lec- ture anywhere, in big city or small town. for less than $1,000, I decided that the limit had been reached and declared that would not be part of Peary's North Pole sideshow."

Compulsory Arbitration
 Strike Problem Solution
Especial from United Press.)

Buffalo, Jan. 14.-It is probable that representations will be made to the General Assembly at Albany to pass a compulsory. arbitration act fol- lowing a speech made here by Colonel D. w. Dunn, U. S. A., chief inspector of the Bureau of Explosives of the American Railway Association, at the annual banquet of the Central Rail- way Club. ssIf you doubt the gravity of the strike problem" said Colonel Dunn, remember that general railway strike would disturb the country more, and cost more, than 8 war of equal duration. Congress alone can declare war but an insignificant body of citizens. organized for hellish pur- poses, can create a greater disturb ance.
