of untold value to you. They are dead. but they are speaking to you.
 Again we are challenged by our tasks. The great Lincoln felt this as he stood on the battlefield of Gettys- burg. He said it is rather flor us to be dedicated to the great task remain ing before us." He felt that the en- tire American manhood was challenged by the deeds who there had given the last full measure of devotion.
 How Meet the Challenge?
 When we stand to consider the chal- lenge of our inheritance and our tasks, we are made to stand in awe before them. How, we ask, shall we be able to meet the challenge?
 Just because these inheritanceS. are spoken of in the mass, they are none the less personal Just because these tasks are mentioned in the terms of national world life, they are none the less individual. It comes right back to you, and to me. How shall you and 1 meet these challenges?
 If we walk and talk with Him; if we are friends with Him; then we shall walk uprightly then we shall have wisdom and spirit. Men, if the years have found US straying away from God, let us find our way back. A splendid way has been prepared. The way back is via the cross. The path was made for you. It was made for me. Let us walk in it and find tho life and power to meet our challenges.

HIS FATHER BUILT
 FIRST NOANK LIGHTHOUSE G. Ledyard DaboII Was 82 Years Old
 on TuesJav
FIRST NoANI

c. Ledyard DaboT, one of Noank's oldest and most respected residents, reached his eighty-second birthday on Tuesday. Mir Dabol was born in Gen. ire Groton, Nov. H. 1881. When six weeks old his parents moved to Noank. His father built the first lighthouse in Noank and afterwards became the first keeper of the light. He attended the common school of those days in the village. after which he entered the employ as clerk of William Latham, who kept a general store now occupied by C. M Chester When not waiting on customers and business permitted, his spare time was passed in the ad- joining shipyard watching the carpen- ters at work which proved so fascin- ating that he finally resigned his po- sition at the store and entered the who at that early date did a large amount of shipbuilding. For more than 60 years Mr. Dabol1 has been in the employ of the Palmer Shipbuild- ing Co. with the exception of three months in 1869, at which time he made master of James Gordon Bennett's yacht Dauntless and visited several European countries
 Returning to Noank he again took up his work with the Palmer com pany and since that time has had charge OL d ldES6 HulnD6I Ol N6SSGlS which the company has built. In later years he has held the position of draughtsman. The 5000 ton barge for the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- road Co.,, which has just been framed, was from the lines drafted by him on the floor and he has had some thing to do in the construction of 500 of the 675 different craft built by the firm since that time. During the past month he has laid down the lines for the tug which the Palmer com pany has contracted to build for the Erie Railroad Co.,, and is at the yard every day watching the progress of the work in its different stages of con- struction. One would hardly expect to find a man of his advanced age with faculties unimpaired, but MT. Daboll enjoys excellent health and genial disposition, which probably accounts for much of his youthfulness.
 On May 1, 1851 Mr. Dabol1 mar ried Miss Jane Ashby, who is still liv- ing. They have three sons, Capt. Ezra Daboll pilot on the Providence line of steamboats; Capt. John Daboll, who is engaged in the fishing businA3s in Noank, and Melville Daboll, foreman at the Palmer shipyard; also three daughters, Mrs. Lawrence Ashcroft of Noank, Mrs, John Erskine of Clifton Park, N J., and Mrs. Jaspar Green wood of North East Harbor, Nova Scotia.

New London Near Losing Lighting
 Plant

The city of New London had a mar row escape from being deprived of electric and gas illumination this week when the discovery was made that the supporting beams under the main floor of the lighting station of the Connecti- cut Power company in Water street were broken. Repairs were made be- fore any accident happened.
 The foundation of the building had become so weakened that had the dis coYery not been made so opportunely the floor would have collapsed in a comparatively short time, taking down with it the entire machinery of the lighting plant and causing it to plunge into the river over which part of the building is located
 The result of such an accident is not pleasant to anticipate. The ma chinery would have been so badly damaged that it would probably have taken weeks to replace or repair it., depriVing the city of means of electric and gas illumination, all of which is furnished by the company.

Barnet Greenblat and Barnet Cor don, doing business as the Eastern Iron and Metal Co., at New London, for the federal court Tuesday after noon there by order of United States Commissioner. Charles w. Butler, on the charge of having in their posses sion 19 ingots of copper, which are al- legged to have been stolen. while in transit on the New Haven railroad be- tween New York and Boston. The hearing was held in the office of Com missioner Butler, which was filled to its limit with witnesses and specta- tors. United States District Attorney Scott of Hartford conducted the case for the government and Attorney John c. Geary represented the defendants.
 The testimony, presented an inter esting and peculiar chain of events. In brief large shipment of copper in- gOtS was made from New Y Ork in sealed car on Sept. 20. As is the custom the ingots were counted be- fore the car was sealed and a record made of the number. Upon the ar rival of the car in Boston it was found that there was a shortage of 19 ingots. The seals of the car, however, were intact.
 Some days later ingots similar in ap- pearance and marking to those in the shipment were sold by the Eastern Iron and Metal Go. to Frank E. Ar thur & Co, metal refners, doing bus mess at East Hampton. During the progress of the hearing it transpired that MT. Arthur was not only metal ref1ner, but also a special agent in the employ of the New Haven road and that Immediately upon securing the ingots from the New London junk dealers he turned over the informa- tion to the railroad authorities,

CHALLENGE OF MANHOOD.
Subject of Interesting Address by
 Rev. P. C. Wright at Y. M. C. A.

FGVs r. Gs WFI9nE at Y. Hs C- "A.
 The Challenge of Manhood was the subject for the address by Rev, P. c. Wright of Philadelphia at the second of the week of prayer meetings at the '. M. c. A. Tuesday noon. There was a good number present He spoke in part as follows:
 am conscious that sometimes min isters are accused of too great ideal- ism. While l doubt if such a thing is possible, yet in the present instance at least I want to speak from the point of view of expediency,
 Evil Among Blessings.
 Two clements of human life need to be mentioned as we pass: 1. Bless ing always seems to arouse evil. The man who is successful will always be suspicioned; misjudged; condemned. And some way or other people are all ways willing to believe evil of other people, Always willing to misconstrue their motives, And stories that are told are never repeated without addi- tion is made which gives them an in crease of evil appearance.
 Moreover, evils grow up in the midst of blessings. We are finding evidences of this every day. In our own coun- try many of the prominent evils are due to our great blessings.
 Vitality Undermined.
 ?. The second element to be no- ticed is that blessings undermine the virility of our manhood. Sometimes people seem to be lulled to sleep by their very mercies. What blessings we Americans have received but how dull our moral Judgments have become in some things. It may truly be said that no people have been given such high type of home as has been de- veloped on our shores and yet no country in the world has lost it's ideal of the marriage tie to such an extent as ours except that nation where il- legitimacy of childhood is a striking feature. We must blush every time our marriage ties are mentioned be- cause of their lack of security.
 And this in the face of the known fact that the religious sanction alone furnishes the foundation for moral civilization.
 I challenge your manhood today in the name of those who gave you birth and laid down at your feet blessings
