TRUE KNIGHT, TRUE
 MAN, TRUE CHRISTIAN Ascension Day Message by Rev. R. R. Graham to Knights Templar.

By invitation of the rector Sir Knight Rev. Richard R. Graham, Co., lumbian commandery. No. 4, Knights Templar, held Ascension day services in Christ church Thursday evening. The knights assembled at the Masonic Temple at 73O and marched to the church in full regalia, led by Eminent Commander James L. Hubbard and Captain General Nelson J. Ayling.
 The service of evening prayer was conducted by the rector. who also de- hVered the sermon. He said. in part:
 As Masons, we realize that the spirit of Free Masonry is the spirit of Chris tianity. A Mason cannot be an unbe- liver the fundamental teachings of the order are distinctly religious.
 The underlying idea of any system of morality is based on the assumption that mankind needs to be raised to a higher level The history of mankind begins with the Garden of Eden and the fall of man. This is the opening act of the drama of human life. We see the pure and ideal man met by the allied forces of evil, and the act closes with the almost Godlike hero stricken down and helpless. The further part of the drama depends upon whether this hero, of whom we are part, can rise to the uclB HlS lIOlD WHICH ne Ltil or to even greater glory. What influence can take the fallen man and raise him up, and enable him to reach his destination? Something besides ethical and scien- tific knowledge Is needed. The strong grasp of the Master of Life alone can lift him up. Masonry, like the church, is pledged to uplift mankind Mason 1 ry does not attempt to say how we may best come in contact with the spiritual. The name of Knight Templsr ] implies that we are enlisted In the fight of good against evil, to defend or recover the temple of God. We mus; keep our bodies clean and holy as g fit abode for the spirit of God.
 As brother Mason l may assure you that one cannot be raised from the death of sin to the everlasting life of righteousness unless he allows thf power of God to enter his life, As 6 prist of God, r can remind you 0f the words of christi T am the way of the truth and the light" Christ is Gee manifest in the flesh, By eiihgihg fssi
 te thsse all saving hands We can live as true knights, true Christians ant

TO GET B-L FACTORY
 IN OPERATION AGAIN
New Purchaser Will Operate Plant Hers-Arrangement Made for Ma chinery Sale.


 Through terms of settlement reached by Trustee Benjamin F. Lewis in the matter of the B-L company bank a meeting of the creditors, the way has been cleared for the sale of the ma chinery at the factory in Greeneville to purchaser who stands ready to take it, it is practically a sure thing, Trustee Lewis stated Thursday eve ming, that the factory in Greenevlie will be reopened within a short time and be running with as large a com plement of help as it had before the bankruptcy.
 The purchaser is George H. Smith of New York representing either him self or other interests which are now engaged in similar line of business.
 In the course of the bankruptcy. q certain lot of machinery was sub ject for dispute as to ownership. hay ing been sold to the company on a contract under certain conditions up- on which Referee A. A. Browning was called upon for a ruling He ruled against the machinery people, from which they took an appeal, as his ruling allowed the trustee to dispose of the machinery for the benefit of the creditors.
 While the appeal was pending, Trus- tee Lewis had an offer from the New ! ork man to buy the machinery, and in order to make the sale possible there was to be hearing before Judge Platt in Hartford on Wednesday, the intent of this being to secure permis- sion to make the sale, but leaving the question of the disposition of the pro- ceeds to be settled later.
 Before the time for the hearing the terms of settlement were agreed upon acceptable to the court. but to be sub mitted to a meeting of the creditors. The purchaser has to complete his payment by the first of June, and it is expected he will at once take steps to get the plant into operation.

LIGHTING INVESTIGATORS
 HOME FROM MASSACHUSETTS. Probable That the Flaming Ares Will Be Recommended for the Street Lighting, With an Increase in Num- ber

Following several days investigation in cities of Massachusetts, the commit tee which represents the city and the Business Mems association returned on Thursday evening well satisfied with their trip, and il is believed firmly in clined to the flaming arc lights for the improving of the lighting about the center of the city The report Of Supt. W. F. Bogue will be made to the ex- ecutive committee of the court of common council, while the other mem bers, Frank H. Smith. Herbert Branche and John E. Tanning. will report to the Business Mems association.
 The committee visited Westfeld. Pittsfield, Boston and Lynn the plants of the General Electric company at Pittsfield and Lynn being visited, through which they were shown. The two kinds of lights are manufactured there
 In westfeld, Pittsfeld and Boston the existing systems Of lights were looked over. In Westfeld the mag netite system is in use, while Boston also has that system for a very large number of it's lights. The magnetic light poles were closer than the others, it being considered that the flaming arc lights are strongei The ma gnetite tlSHL IS WHlle, WnlCn IS us tilleL duNdU- - tage over the yellow flaming arc but the objection to such a system here would be that a direct current is re- quired to operate them, and the local plant furnishes an alternating current A rectifier would have to be installed to change the current for magnetic lights.
 While the reports have not beer formulated. 1t is believed that the in- clination is to the flaming ares the replacing of the present arc lights witt the flaming type. and adding new nights through the center of the city from Preston bridge to Thames square ! Franklin street to Boswell avenue lower Broadway and Shetucket. Little Water, Bath and Willow streets.
