MAY MEAN BLOODSHED
Rev. D. H. Loux Expects Revolution
 to Put Socialists in Power.

New Haven, March 15-Rev D. H. Loux, the announcement of whose So- cialistic leanings recently caused a sensation in Meriden where he was pastor of the Center Congregational church, said that he looked for a rev olution which will place the Socialists in power and admitted that he didn't think the revolution would be a blood less one, in an address in Foy audi torium last night. Dr. Loux spoke on the subject, "The Corrupt Rich Church Members
 While Mr. Loux said that he didn't look for an actual war, he admitted when questioned by one of the audi ence that he did not believe the revo- lution which will ultimately place So- cialism in control can be accomplish ed without some fighting and blood shed. My opinion," he said, 'is that it will be a peaceful revolution in the main, but that there will be blood shed"
 He spoke in the body of his ad- dress of the hypocrisy of those who go to church and continued to fleece the public through shady business dealings. He claimed that one per cent of the population of the world owned 55 per cent. of it's wealth, and that practically all of the wealth is produced by 39 per cent. while the other 61 per cent. enjoy most of its benefits.

GAELIC ATHLETIC CLUBS
 DANCE FRIDAY NIGHT

On next Friday evening the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle will assemble in their strength and beauty at a dance to be given at the Arion hall under the auspices of the Bridgeport Gaelic Athletic Club. The question may we'll be asked why it is that 1rishmen and Irishwomen al- ways give themselves up to enjoy ment on the 17th of March. The answer is near at hand for where is the son of Erin who has forgotten that on March IT, 493, St. Patrick closed his eyes for ever at Saul ways returned when his holy and apostolic tour of the country was completed. It is no wonder then, that Irishmen both at home and ev- anywhere in exile keep green in their minds the memory of that typical and most illustrious apostle who illum- ines the most glorious page of their sad history.
 The committee of arrangements has left nothing undone to make this event worthy of the occasion and il is anticipated that the entertainment will be the most successful yet held under their auspices.
 Many Irish eXiles rem eember the fiddle and the drone of the bagpipes in every hill and glen throughout the old land. On this occasion an op- portunity will be given them to shuf- fle their feet so as to beat in concord with the sweet strains that will flow from Risley's orchestra. A hearty welcome will be extended to all whether they be opponents of the tarnsinhoraan art of dancing or not.

MAN IN RENO SU NC
 FOR A DIVORCE
Speiser's Banjo Playing Was More Than His Wife Could Bear She Threw Things.

'He's on his way to Reno" Henry F. Speiser formerly of this city and at one time with the American Graph ophone co. and now resident of Reno, Washoe County, Nevada, is suing his wife Margaret c. Speiser, a seanstress with Smith, Murray 6 Co.,, for divorce alleging cruelty. The papers in the suit reached this city today and were served on the defendant this after noon.
 Unlike papers for divorce brought in this State, the Nevada complaint con- tains a summary of all events which led up to the separation of husband and wife. The husband claims that his wife has been very cruel to him, that she had often flown into a rage, scratched his face, reprimanded him for bringing home a short pay en- velope and often became so enraged when he played his banjo, that flying at him, he with difficulty was able to defend himself. The demolition of the banjo came when it met up with stove litter by the enraged wife. Speiser left Bridgeport it was to go upon the stage. There was rumor another woman, an actress, who was concerned in the affair When friends of the defendant in this city learned of the proceedings today they were greatly surprised. According to the complaint Speiser has been resi- dent of Reno for more than six months.

HOW ENGLAND FIRST
 RECEIVED WAGNER.

Tn his article on Masters and Music in Harper's for March, F. M. Hueffer tells of the violent attitude of the English toward the Wagner move ment and of the influence brought to bear on English critics who were Wagnerites.
 .sThe compositions of Wagner were denounced as being atheistic, sexually immoral, and tending to further so- cialism and the throwing of bombs.
 ''wagnerites were threatened with assassination, and assaults between critics of the rival schools were things not unknown in the foyer of the opera, and I really believe that Wagner in these islands, did go in some personal danger. Extraordin- ary pressures were brought to bear upon the more prominent critics of the school of Italian opera. Thus, at the opening of the opera seasons, packing-cases of large dimensions and considerable in number would arrive at the house of the ferocious critic of the chief newspaper of England. They would contain singular assort- ments of comestibles and of objects of art Thus, I rem ember half doz- en hams, the special product of some North-Italian town; six cases of Rhine Wine, which were no doubt in tended to propjtiate the malignant Teuton; a reproduction of the Medici Venus in marble. painted with phos- phoric paint, so that it gleamed blue and ghostly in the twilight; a case of Bohemian glass and several strings of Italian sausages. And these pack ing-cases. containing no outward sign of their senders, would have to be unpacked and then once more repack- ed, leaving the servants with fingers damaged by nails and passages lit tered with straw. Inside would be found the cards of Italian prima don-

AN OLD STORY.

I have heard of poor and sad con- gregations. but the saddest preacher I ever knew went from Posey County, Indiana, to Pike County, Missouri (where John Hay discovered Little Brooches and Jim Bludsoe), He was starving to death on donations of cat. fish, 'possum, and hundred-dollar salary. Finally he made up his mind to go away. With wet eyes, he stood up in the prayer meeting to bid good bye to his weeping congregation.
 Brothers and sisters" he said, wiping his eyes on his red bandanna a handkerchief, i've called you together tonight to say farewell. The Lord has called me to another place. I don't think the Lord loves this people much for none of you seem to die. He does not seem to want you. And you don't seem to love each other; for I've never married any of you. And don't think you love me; for you don't pay me my salary-and your donations are mouldy fruits and wormy apples. By their fruits ye shall know them
 And now, brothers and sisters, I am going to a better place. I've been appointed chaplain to the peni- tentiary at Joliet. Where I go ye can- not come; but go to prepare a place for you."-From the book "Heart Throbs," in National Magazine for March.

BRINGING CEDARS OF
 LEBANON TO BOSTON.

MT. E.. H. Wilson. whose trips in search of new trees into the hinter- land of Csina are described by MT. F. Lauriston Bullard in the March Worlds Work, brought cedars of Le- banon to the Arnold Arboretum-the living-tree museum of Harvard Unl- versity, The tree from which came the material was said for many years to be not hardy in the Northern States. It had been brought to west ern Europe from Syria, and for two hundred years it had flourished in England. But all attempts to grow this fine tree in New England had failed. However, on the mountains of Cilicia, in Asia Minor-a region much colder than the Lebanon of Sy- ria-the cedar of Lebanon also thrives. Recalling this fact, the Ar boretum engaged man in Smyrna to make journey to these mountains for the seeds of this tree. The re- sulting seedlings are now ten feet high in the tree-museum, where they have survived the rigors of six win ters and seem perfectly hardy. If these cedars of Lebanon continue to prosper. they alone will be worth all the labor and money which the Arbo- return has cost in the quarter-century of it's existence.

.GENERA[ STRIKE
 FOR TRANSFERS
Last Day Given Adams Express Co. to Agree on Plan of
 Arbitration
Especial from United Press.)

New York, March 15-Unless the Adams Express Company before night fall receives and treats with union committee named by the executive committee of the International Broth erhood of Teamsters of New York and New Jersey in an effort to agree on a plan of arbitration, a general strike of all drivers of express wagons will be ordered. For the present, the other teamsters and taxicab chauffeurs will not be called out as they will be, de- pended on to raise the s22000 week needed to keep the strike going.
 It was expected, today that the Adams company would refuse to treat with the men. The officials take the position that the strike is already over as they have all the men they need. In anticipation of the spread of the strike and consequent violence the po- lice officials of this and Jersey City and Hoboken' reinforced the police on duty, today.
 The relative value placed on property and strike-breaking employees by the Adams Company, was shown, today, by advertisements carried in all local papers. Five thousand dollars is of fered as reward for evidence against persons destroying property and $1, ,0O0 against those who assault employees.

HOW TO BUY ORIENTAL RUGS.

''In selecting a rug, we must look carefully to be sure the design is perfect in its entirety, and harmoni- ous," says Rosa Belle Holt in Wo- mans Home Companion Nor March.
 Then in regard to color. The true artist is born with the color eye. She knows instinctively what colors blend harmoniously. The slightest devia- tion from a soft, restful color to a harsher, more garish tone, fills her with a sort of indignation and resent ment. The old vegetable dyes were famous, and there is no reason why they should not be used nowadays, in the dyeing of the wools for the rugs. except for the length of time and ex- pense to procure, and the labor to perfect them. There are, however. certain firms with factories in the to establish vegetable dyeing for their rugs.
 My advice is to buy now, before it is too late, the old rugs, dyed with the pure vegetable dyes. When I say old rugs, I do not necessarily mean ing, not later than the early part of the eighteenth century. I think that we may classify those rugs as old which have been woven more than fifty years. Twenty-five-year-old rugs are often examples of pure vegetable 2

 'In buying, one should examine not alone the surface of the rug, but also the back. See if the weaving be firm and not loosened by the dyes. Hold it up to the light and see if the texture looks firm as on the surface If you find an old rug. even with holes, but with much pristine charm, do not hesitate to buy it, for it can be beautifully mended. There is, however, a difference between holes in old rugs and those in modern ones. In the latter, they are often caused by the rotting of the dye. If such be the case, do not on any account buy the rug. I wish could givs you some certain test for this, but it takes experience to understand the difference"

On one occasion @ letter con- taining bank-notes for fifty pounds arrived from a prima donna, with a pathetic note begging the critic to absent himself from her first night. Praise from Wagnerite she consid- cred to be impossible, but she was ready to pay for silence. I do not know whether this letter inspired my father with the idea of writing to the next suppliant that he was ready to accept her present-it was the case of Bohemian glass-but that in that case he would never write a word about her singing
