KARL HERMANN AT
 THE PEOPLES CHURCH
TO SPEAK AT FIFTH ANNIVER- SARY OF THE Y. P. S. c. E.
(Communicated.)

Tomorrow evening, at 7:45, Karl Lehmann, field secretary of the Unit ed Society of Christian Endeavor, will deliver an address at the Peoples Presbyterian Church, Laurel avenue, the occasion being the fifth anniver- sary of the Young Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor of that church, under whose auspices MT. Lehman will speak. The committee in charge of this meeting is extremely forum ate in being able to secure MT. Leh- mann at this time, it being his nrst engagement in the State of Connecti- cut. The early opportunity thus af- forded of hearing and meeting this eloquent speaker and enthusiastic worker is one which should be ap- preciated and taken advantage of by as many as possible. A cordial in- vitation is extended to all those in- terested in this line of work, partic- ularly the various Christian Endeavor and kindred societies of the city and vicinity.
 MT. Lehmann's home is in Denver, Colorado, but his field of work cov- CTS practically every State in the Un- ion and also Canada For the past three or four years he has been in different States for short terms of ser vice in the kind of work which he is definitely to undertake in Connecti- cut, where ne IS dpOul u iuduS uI dtc ten-weeks' interdenomination campaign for greater efficiency in young peoples work. He is an ex- pert in this line, and his splendid efforts in other sections of the coun- try have been marked with great suc- cess. Bridgeport is to be congratu- lated on being the first city in the State to secure his services, and all the Christian Endeavorers should be willing and anxious to second his ef- forts in every possible way and to aid in the promotion of the work which the field secretary is so enthu- siastically engaged in.
 MT. Lehman is a young man of pleasing personality, an eloquent, witty and earnest speaker. He wins the hearts and the confidence of all his hearers and carries good cheer, strength and encouragement wherever he goes. He has been very aptly call ed "a dynamo of enthusiasm, elo- quence and spiritual power" Dr. Francis B. Clark, president of the Worlds Christian Endeavor Union, speaks in the highest terms of the fine personality and ability of th,s able worker. A California paper said of him: MT. Lehmann's address was easy, fluent. as full of practical sug- gestions as an egg of meat. He was as witty as an Irishman, as tender as woman and as spirited as St. John. He won the hearts of old and young" From all parts of the coun- try where MT. Lehman has been come similar expressions of apprecia- ton and commendation.
 After MT. Lehmann's address on Thursday night, there will be an in- formal social gathering. at which

PROFITS IN FIRE INSURANCE

ing the same period, also paid their stockholders $1e,33s, ,O60.OO in cash dividends. Their average net earn. ings to stockholders, in 1910, were 40 and 9-1O per cent. and in 1911, Al and 2-10 per cent.
 The profits in boiler, burglar. acci- dent and liability insurance are even greater; a startling argument in fa- vor of state or municipal insurance.
 The commission engaged in con- sidering whether the state. or private companies, should have the insur- ance of workingmen, under the pro- posed employers liability law, should take notice. There is no sound req son why stock holders should enjoy average net earnings of 40 per cent. per annum by participation in a bus- mess which is peculiarly public and which the public should do for itself, at cost.

DEATH AND THE MISSING GLASSES

The evidence before the Senate committee Investigating the loss of Titanic increases the amount of neg ngence properly chargeable to the White Star Line with every witness that is examined. Third Officer Pittman in his testimony, yesterday, brought out very clearly the made quacy of her life boat and life raft equipment Not more than one half of those on board could have been saved by the utmost stretch of the carrying power of the life boats. which, nevertheless. got away with 500 fewer persons than they were able to carry. The testimony of Seaman Fleet, who was in the crows- nest of the Titanic, is that he asked for glasses before the ship left port and was told that there were none. He swore that with glasses he would have been able to perceive the iceberg upon which the ship was wrecked soon enough to enable her to avoid it
 In contrast to the inadequacy of equipment is the ease with which that equipment might have been provid- ed. The days despatches report

The fluffy knot of os- trich which used to be worn singly, now marks the base of two upright rather thin shaded feathers.

 Four or five even will buy very attractive looking one, which will answer every purpose,# If you don't examine too closely into the quality.
 The feather fad is 8 strange one. Flowers seem so much more appro- priate, But New York women are especially capricious. If the fancy takes them, they will wear furs in midsummer, and tulle in winter.
 The influence of the Audubon so- ciety is felt in the absence of aig- rettes and birds. This is certainly a step in the right direction.

It is a little singular, to say the least, that the report of Margaret Byington, employed by the admins tration to investigate the Charities department, should find all the ser wants of the city who chance to be Democrats reckless and careless per sons. and the single Republican quite a paragon among office holders. Reading the report, which con- tains some wise suggestions, like good grain among chaff, the ordinary cit izen will be impressed with it's effort to meet more than half way certain notions of the administration, which were conceived long in advance of the investigation. and which are strange ly supported in the language of Miss Byington's report, if not by the facts that she adduces.
 The impression is also gained that there is certain collaboration among those who are earning a livelihood as municipal experts.' to push the good work along; a feeling of esprit de corps common among members of all liberal professions, and in this case we'll adapted to create the maximum of public approval which may strike as a wand the rock of the public treasury. making it give bounteously of good fat fees, with subsistence and laundry gratis.

NTTA'S NEW YORK FASHIONS CapriciOils Gotllamites Choose Feath- ers-F1Owers More Appropriate, But Eclipsed for Now-The Latest Millinery.

Never even in mid winter has there been such a rage for feather trim- ming in millinery. This is shown now on hats that can be accepted as the stable styles for the summer of 1912.
 Of course the first spring peeps at the model hats showed all sorts of freaks and were accepted as such. Only those women whose pocket books were expansive enough to per- init of several hats a season could afford to purchase them. It was a certainty that the novelty would wear off long before the hats wore out.
 lTherefore-the wise woman waited until she knows now whats what," and this particular what" spells feathers in every form and device.
 You find them both on the girl go- ing to business and on the shopper who appreciates a little knock about hat. They display derby shapes generally in black, the sole trimming placed directly in front.

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY

Half century ago today Farragut's
 federal fleet passed the forts below
 New Orleans and the metropolis of
 the Confederacy was at the mercy of
 the enemy. It was one of the most
 terrible blows that had befallen the
 South in her struggle for secession,
 and, following on the heels of Shiloh,
 would probably have utterly discour-
 aged any but Anglo-Saxon warriors.
 In the history of the worlds navies few deeds so daring have been at- tempted as that of Farrgaut.
 Forts Jackson and St. Philip, with their heavy guns and expert gunners, fleet of Confederate ironclads and gunboats, and, worst of all, numerous
 fire rafts piled high with inflamma ble materials, were the obstacles Farra. gut faced as, in the darkness of night, his seventeen ships advanced toward the Crescent City-soon to be a cres- cent of fire. The perilous passage of the forts was commenced at 2 o'clock in the morning. The night was of an inky blackness. and in the gloom a terrible battle was waged. The Con- federate warships, after a valiant struggle. were defeated by the Union naval force, and Gen. Butler, at the head of a land force, captured Fort St. Philip. Once Farragut's flagship went aground. and many times it was on fire, while scores of his men fell victims to the shells that shrtek- ed through the rigging and bursted on the decks. The varuna, a federal ship, went down, and last defiant shot was fired before she plunged un-
 der.
 The people of New Orleans were dumb with amazement when the news that Farragut had passed the forts first reached the city. Not one had dreamed that the hated Tanks" could pass the forts and fireboats and the numerous Instructions in the river. Only a short time before the editor of one of the leading papers of New Orleans had written. "Our only fear is that the Northern invaders may not appear. We have made such ex- tensive preparations to receive them, that it were vexatious if their invin- cible armada escapes the fate we have in store for it.'i
 When Farragut appeared before the city panic reigned. There were few soldiers to defend the city, and, in the absence of the able bodied and patriotic citizens. fighting the battles
 of the Confederacy on other fields, the thugs and riff-raff of the southern metropolis were unrestrained. The women of the streets and the men of the gutters re-enacted, on a smaller scale, the scenes of the reign of ter-
 TOT in Paris. The torch was applied
 to the cotton on the levee and the
 ships along the waterfront, and they
 were burning luridly when black
 masts of the Union fleet came in sight around the bend of the river.
 Two officers, without an escort, were
 landed by Farragut and walked, calm
 and unperturbed, throuhg the crowd to the City hall to receive the surrden. der of the city.

MARcoNI WIRELESS.
Most Sensational Boom Ever Seef
 Curb Sends Stock to $35O.

It is worth recording as a mattI
 of financial history that the moN
 sensational boom ever seen on thy
 New York curb was witnessed last week when Marconi Wireless shares
 sold at $350 each
 Not long ago the shares were ne- glected and sold for around S5 a share. One bright curb member advertised himself as specialist in Marconi shares one morning and woke up to ma himself famous. Shares began to pour into his office from all over the country and almost simultaneous ly buying orders came in through stock exchange houses, mostly from abroad
 The speculation developed into the widest the curb has ever seen and eliminated when on Friday the price touched $350 a share. The operator who was the centre of the activity claims to have cleaned up $35O,OOO on his work without buying a single share for himself.
 The stockholders of the Marconi company have authorized an increase in the capital stock from $1, 1882, 800 to $1O,O00,OO0 and the par value of the old shares has been reduced to $5 From $25 and each holder of one old $25 share will receive in exchange five S5 shares in addition to the right to subscribe for five new shares at par for every share held
 Marconi himself attributes the rise to the excellent prospects for his wire less companies as a group, to earn ings expected from high power serv- ice soon to be installed between New York, London and South America, and particularly to the fact that the Ameri- can Marconi company has succeeded in securing financial backing which puts it in position to make develop ments to any extent deemed advis- able.
