'Uncle Joe" Hopper Conducting A Series
Of Interesting Meetings At The
Presbyterian Church.

Uncle Joe" Hopper is conducting a
series of meetings at the Presbyterian
church. He began on last Sunday
morning and breaches two sermons
daily. at 10 o'clock in the morning and
z O'Clock in the evening. The meeting
will continue, to use the splendid old
gentlemans words, las long as his
feeble strength will permit, and the
Master Desires. Large crowds are
being attracted and much interest is
being manifested.
''Uncle Joe" was born in Lancaster
on July % 1929 where w. B. Ball now
conducts a grocery store. He united
with the old Presbyterian church at
this place in 1843 and was ordained a
deacon in that church in 1845, at the
same time the late William H. Kin
naird was ordained an elder. 'Uncle
Joe's" religious work dated from that
time. he began at once to organize and
conduct Sunday schools and to do
whatsoever work he felt he was called
upon to do in the Masters cause. In
1850 he removed to Perryville KY. and
was there ordained ruling Elder and
continued as such for over 40 years.
In the early sixties under the auspices
of the American Sunday School Union,
non sectarian, he took charge of Sum-
day school work in Kentucky until the
Synod of Kentucky ordained that he
should take charge of their work and
made him an assistant evangelist for
the state. When at the advanced age
of 81 years, and, after the good old
man had devoted almost a lifetime
to the advancement of the Master
cause, the Pennsylvania Presbytery of
Kentucky decreed that he should preach
the gospel as minister and he was
ordained at Lebanon KY. Both be-
fore and since that time he has carried
his Masters message to- the highways
and byways of the state, and has seen
hundreds of people brought to Christ
through his ministrations.
Uncle Joe is a cousin of the late
Seymour Hopper and has many rela-
tlves and an unlimited number Of
friends throughout the county.
Notwithstanding his extreme age, hs
has strong mind, retentive memory
and a wonderful strong and attractive
personally. His life, while having
been a busy one has been fraught with
much peace and happiness. by hi.
kindly ways, his cheering words AM
benevolent disposition he has drawn t,
himself hundreds of friends and wher
his earthly career is brought to close
his labors on this earth are finished
there will surely be crown of glory
awaiting him in the Great Beyond.

More City Lights.

The city council has ordered the in
stallatior of three street lights along
Hamilton avenue. When this thorough
fare was constructed it was with a
view of giving the people who live in
the Buckeye locality passway into
town without the necessity of having
to pass through the chute, but mrny
of them preferred even that mode of
entrance to travelling a dark street
which was comparatively unknown to
them.

HOW'LL they MOVE IT2

Union teamsters today refused
to haul any freight that was to be
handled in the railroad ware
houses and yards by non-union
men taking the place of striking
freight handlers.
In many instances where their
employers insisted that they haul
the freight, the teamsters quit
work. Several hundred men were
reported idle.
So fgar there has been no con-
certed strike of the teamsters, but
such action may follow if an at
tempt is made to have freight
hauled by non-union teamSters.

SECOND ENTERTAINMENT

Reno W. WeIbourn Lectures on In the
 Year 20oo.

The rain made no difference Monday night at the second entertainment in the Y. NJ. C. A. membership course, as every seat in the auditorium at the Association building was filled to hear Reno w. Welbourn, scientist and iec- turer, in his lecture, entitled In the Year 2000.
 He announced at the outset that he believed the scientific men of the fu- ture were to make an verincreasing use of the immense amount of energy engendered through the sun-heat of which at the present time we were not making any use. This could be ac- complished in several different lines, he said. both by using more of the sun heat. as a direct agent for the production of energy, through more use of wind power, which is really sun-power, through use of the interior heat of the earth and through use of the wave motion to produce energy.
 In developing these ideas he illus trated by series of marvellous exper- ifnents how the miracles of science may be utilized for the benefit of fu- ture generations. His explanations were clear and Illuminating and he introduced well placed humorous touches throughout his platform dem cnstrations that contributed to make the entertainment one of the finest the association Las provided,

Letters and articles were also read in refer ence to the petition recently sent to congress, and the bill now pending there to restore defrauded rights to Indians on the Gila river. These Pima Indians have had the water from the river stolen from them by white men, who diverted 1t from the river above their settlement This riv- CT water is absolutely necessary to them for any agricultural life. The silt supplies the needed fertilizer and also neutraliZes the alkali so that this river water is not harmful to the soil as underground water would be. 9th CT items of current news from various Indian tribes were read from the In dian Friend.
 Mrs. Learned spoke of the wealth of Indian legends and folk lore songs. In the past thirty years these have been discovered to be older and richer than many others. These folk lore songs illustrate every phase of life. The song is more important than the words to 1t She sang three of these "a Chippewa tribal melody Which is prayer to the Manftou, an Ojibway canoeists love song, and an Arrappa- hoe lullaby She also spoke. of the myths of the Mewan Indians of Cali fOrnia, collected by c.

GREAT WHITE WAY FOR NORWICH
Business Men Come Before Executive Committee in its Be- halfBeieved That Better Lighting of Streets Will Re- sult-Supt Bogue to Prepare Estimate For the City Meeting.

J. C. Macpherson considered that in addition to Main street any new light ing system should include Franklin street, to the park possibly, Broadway to Willow and also Shetucket street. Supt. Bogue said that the ornamental post lights could probably be run cheaper than the arcs for the same number, the big expense being the in- stallation.
 Mayor Thayer said that his idea would be to have survey made of the proposed plan, find out the number of lights desired and their cost, and the cost of installation, and then put up the proposition to the people ot the city meeting in June. If they want it they should have it, but it cannot be forced upon them.
 Otto E.Wulf favored putting in more of the present arc lights, and the question of another arc in Franklin square in front of Somers Brothers was urged by several. Superintendent Bogue said that there would be one there now if pole could be put up there, but trouble in getting a location for a pole is the hardest kind of job. MT Macpherson considered that there was nothing like well lighted streets to help city and spoke of street in Richmond

JACK THE HUGGER
 APPEARED ON CLIFF STREET
Two Young Women Grabbed Sunday Evening, but He Was Scared Of.

Jack the Hugger," who has been reported active in Greeneville, extend ed his field of operations Sunday eve ming, according to report that was current in the neighborhOod of Cliff street, grabbing two young women on Oak street, near the corner of Cliff, about 9 o'clock The young women screamed, and the ''Hugger" was scared off.
 The attack took place on Oak street, it was reported, at spot between the so-called Robbins house and the resi- dence of D. D. Disco on the corner of Oak and Cliff streets. Two young men standing on a porch on Cliff street wehe where they could see the attack by the ''Hugger," and one of the young women was so scared that she appealed to them to be escorted home in safety The other one ran off along Cliff street and got home alone.
 Since the 'Hugger" scare in Greene vile, it is reported that the women of that section are not venturing out at night without male escort, or if com pelled to go alone are provided with some means of defense against the ''Hugger." One novel weapon, but likely to prove effective, carried by W Greenevtlle woman, was the family pepper shaker.
