 A fire was discovered in the Mann
 block on Wilmington avenue about 6. 30 yesterday morning. It originated in the basement in the paint room of A. E. Snow, and was we'll under way when the department arrived. The firemen were able to put it out with but little loss to the building. The fire burned through the floor above in
 
 above are occupied by the Boys club and they also use part of the base ment for a gymnasium. The heat was so intense in the room directly over the fire that the piano is practi- oally ruined and the other furnishings more or less injured. There is also loss from water. It is thought that the pool tables will have to be re- covered, and the balls are so badly affected that it is probable that new ones will have to be procured. The loss to the club will be from $250 to $500. MT. Snow estimates his loss at around $500 from fire and water. He had paper stock damaged and the intense heat damaged his varnish and other supplies. No definite idea is procurable as to how the fire started, but it is thought that oily materials used in the painting business may have caused it. All the losses are covered by insurance. The German club rooms, which occupied the third | story, were slightly damaged by smoke.

 The Lords Day League of New | England, through its secretary, Rev. pr. NJ. D. Kneeland of Fremont Tenn | pie. Boston, cooperating with the fed srated churches of the town, held three we'll attended meetings Sunday, 1t which the importance of the ob- ervance of the Sabbath as a day of est was brought closely home to the people. In his morning address Dr. zneeland used as text''The Sabbath vas made for man," and in different ways showed conclusively that the Sabbath, with its Christian observ- Ince, has been the greatest institution Il the world for the uplift of human ty. The liquor interests and some of he sports two forces who are working together for a more wide pen Sunday, are inclined to sheer at he old time Sabbath as a day of the cws and Puritans, but there never Vas time, said pr. Kneeland, when he loss of the Sabbath as a day of est and religious observance would 6 more irreparable than to-day. A abbath is needed. because of the laterialistic drift The intense cen- .alization of mans abilities is demo- llizing. One day in the week the ind should be lifted to higher realms. he continental Sunday should not be l lowed to get foothold. When per- l ms of any particular nationality | me here they should not be allowed {
 set up their forms, methods and in ways that mean the ,aring down of those institutions nat have made this country what it l. Our cities used to be made up of oys of our own blood, but the modern ity is receiving an influx entirely : Sportsmen and the liquor interests are working together, with arge sums of money, in ways not al- Tays clean and above board, to tear own Sunday observance laws. If unday sports are legalized, stores ill be more generally opened for ( rading, liquor will be sold, and the ay as the Lords day lose much of s significance. To prevent this, ( hurchmen and others of high moral leals must cooperate, and Dr. Knee and urged that all work together trough federated church council in UT various towns to keep the Sunday avs of Connecticut right where they ow are.
