Will be Judge Thomas.

Executive Secretary E. s. Thomas seems certain of appointment as judge of the United States district court to succeed the late James P. Platt, and the Connecticut congressman who have op- posed his appointment are now willing to concede it.
 It is said that his backing by the state administration has been sufficient to land the place for him. The outcome of the struggle reviyes the curious story, pre- valent at the State Capitol last winter, that Executive Secretary Thomas was sure of Governor Baldwin's backing at the very time when Ex-Senator Thomas F. Noone of Rockville and Representa- tive William E. Thoms of Waterbury were perfectly certain that they had it.

A Bald Statement.

In last Sundays New York Herald A. F. Howe, the staff writer who has the direction of the Connecticut department, has a three-column article devoted to the Bald Head Club of America and its annual banquet tonight. It is illumi- mated with speaking ikenesses of the officers, and is written in MT. Howe s characteristic and entertaining style. In one paragraph he abandons himself to bold prophetic specula tion, as follows:
 And flushed with the fourishlng for tune which has attended his efforts to emancipate and glorify the army of bald men, and glitterlng with the glow of his bounding belief i'll equal happiness for all. MT. Rodemeyer is to undertake the formation of a woman's branch of the Bald Head Club. But before he bends himself to this task of temerity and dauntless daring and puts hIs diplomacy to the terrible test he intends to take an active part in Thursdays banquet and then to make his will. And there are a few who are not sure that he will not succeed in interesting some switch. rat, puff and curl wearers If he does not lose his life in the attempt.

He advo- cated B closer attention to the bare fundamentals of education. on account of the polyglot character of our popula- tion.

Kill The Caterpillar Eggs,

In most parts of the East the past seq.
 son has witnessed fearful seourge of
 tent caterpillars. In many sections they
 have practically ruined the fruit trees for the season, and it Is now ths proper time to begin fighting then for another year First of all. it is desirable to cut out and destroy wild cherry trees. These make favorite breeding places for the caterpillar. Last year, through our own neighborhood, these wild cherry trees were alive with the pest, and in many places they were almost entirely respon- sible for its breeding. During the last of June or first of July, caterpillars lay their eggs in masses upon small twigs of the apple CT cherry.
 There are usually about 200 eggs to the cluster, and after laying them the parent moth covers these eggs with thick fluid which hardens and gives them vanished appearance. This fluid protects the eggs from the weather and from other insects. and also provides food for the tiny caterpillars when they first hatch out. The first step, there. fore, toward killing off these insects is to destroy the egg masses. They may frequently be found in large numbers upon the apple and cherry tree, and whenever seen, they should be cut away and burned. It is an excellent plan to teach the children to hunt for them and cut them down, for child once interest. ed in this matter will fiul and destory thousands of the eggs, and greatly re- duce the next yevr's crop. It is far bet ter to kill the eggs now rather than to ct then hatch, and then be forced to fight the adult insect next spring Rural New Yorker.

The operetta is in two acts and four scenes and there is generous supply of catchy music, surprises and other unique features, Yhatte Fox charmed her hearers by her rendition of Princess Bozena She is most bewitching in "Day Dreams," a waltz song possessing all the dreamy characteristics and her duet with Prince Aladar, entitled 1.-Two Little Love Bees suggests snug little corner in some nice little hive.

Rev. s. E. Adams Sermon.

Rev. Samuel F. Adam occupied the pulpit in Christ Church. Sunday morn. ing, and preached timely and interest. ing sermon touching upon the relations and responsibilities of the individual church member toward the church and the priest. He bespoke the cooperation of people with the rector who has been selected to have charge of the parish. The speaker took for his text Ephesians l4-I: That ye walk worthy the voca- tion whereby ye were called" He said, in part, St. Paul means the great office of the Priesthood of the laity, the minis try and office that all Christians under. take when baptlsed-in that they promise to become Christ's soldiers and servants. This vow of service is made good in confirmation, which. because it is be- slowed by the imposition of the bishops hands, with prayer for the assistance of the Holy Spirit, becomes an ordination as real as that to the office of bishop, priest or deacon. The former is the shllle, Nu6 OubNdlu NlSlblb HlSh bl AiAS inward spiritual grace for the work of carrying the light of Christ to the world. It is in reality the greatest order of all tue ministries of Holy Church.
 The bishop is limited by hls office to the few score priests of his diocese the priest is charged with the ministration of his parish. but on this priesthood of the laity is placed the work of carrying the light of Christ to the world-each in his own little circle of kinsfolk, friends and neighbors. This IS the vo. cation to which you are called. The light you are given to carry is your own ideal of goodness; each one of you has such an ideal and no two human beings have the same. Do not be disappointed, or complain if your priest or your brethren differ from you in this. The church is made up of individual mem. bers, for it must bring to the world of individualities the light it is gi.en to carry. Work Loyalty with hIm whom you have just elected to be your priest. With him make your parish a power in this community. This is your vocation; be worthy of it.
