Upon complain that gam bling was going on at the house, the arrests were made by Sergeant John H. Kane and Policemen Carroll and Delaney, who found no trouble in get ting into the house, which is on the corner of Seventh street and Central avenue
 When the party of policemen entered they found the men sitting around a table, they said, on which was a pack of cards and they found ten cents on the floor.
 The case is somewhat similar to the arrests made recently in a house on White street, where upon trial in the police court the evidence was not found sufficient to convict on the gam bling charge but the men who were found in the place were found guilty on the charge of playing cards for money, which is contrary to the stat ute
 Besides these four names entered on the book at police headquarters there were ten others who fell into tn hands of the law over Saturday night and Sunday for various causes.

part of the town was, with it's church and town meeting, at the very be- ginniRgs of the history and develop ment of our naation- Some time after the presentation of the Knight ctfp, as the records show, the church in ,1f69 purchased three silver cups of Will liam Holmes, Jr., in Boston. They were of the same general pattern as the Knight cup and were doubtless intended to complete the set.
 Madame Sarah Kemble Knight was born in Boston April 19, 1866. Her husband was Richard Knight of Bos- ton. After the marriage of her daugh- ter with Col. Livingston of New Lon don she lived in Norwich, her dwelling house being here and her farms within the bounds of New London. This rec ord is on the town books in Norwich: "The Towne grants liberty to Mrs. Sarah Knight to sitt in the pue where she use to sitt in ye meeting house."
 Madame Knight wrote record of a journey from Boston to New York in the year 1704 which was printed in Blackwood's Magazine and later in Lit teil's Living Age. This was at first thought to be fictitious, but now is known to be a faithful copy from a diary in the authors own handwriting, and is now in book form in the Otis library.

SPEAKS ON THE
 HERO OF THE AGES.
w. H. Easton Addresses Y. M. C. A.
 Meeting in Colonial Theatre.

The bad weather did not keep the men from attending the mems meeting held in the Colonial theatre, Sunday afternoon at 3.3e. under the auspices lected solos were rendered by double quartette of the Bass-Clef members and instrumental music was furnished by Swahn's orchestra
 The speaker of the afternoon, w. H. Easton M A, of Providence. R. l., was introduced by l.. O. Smith
 The Hero of the Ages was the topic Mr. Easton spoke on and in part he said:
 Mankind demands a hero. The world loves a hero. But the character of the hero changes with the changing years. Tn primitive times 1t was the warrior who could show the largest number of scalps dangling at his belt: the man fleet of limb. and strong of arm was made chief of the tribe. Then the man of wealth became the hero, and today is still often so regarded. But time re- fuses to crown such as the real hero of the ages. But it is the one who can so far abolish self out of his life as to give himself unreservediy for the sake of others good.
 Of Jesus was this said He saved others, himself he could not save; and so he becomes the Man of all time, The Hero of the Ages As Hero he makes the strongest ap- peal 10 men, chailenglng the best that is in them, as well as the strongest for the strenuous program he gives. MT EaSton further showed this Hero as the truest kind of political econo- mist in that he keeps his strong arms of love and help under the lowest stra- ta- of society, the poor. the weak and the discouraged and lifts them up to higher better things.
 The hero needed today is the honest man, who will be true wherever he may be placed. The speaker illus trated this by several incidents that came under his own observation. The audience of men present were deeply interested in the address and will be glad to hear Mir Easton again some time.

DR. HOWE TO PREACH ON
 MERCHANTS WEEK SUNDAY
Will Be on Patriots Day, April 1s-

Enthusiasm for the success of Mer- chants week-from Saturday, April Is. to Saturday. April 25-has reached the clergymen of the city, and the dean of them all, Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D. D., for over 30 years pastor of Park Con gregational church. is the first to ar range to preach a special sermon on Sunday in Merchants week.
 By a happy chance that Sunday falls on April 19, Patriots day, or Paul Re- were day, in some states, so that 1t will be fitting that sermons deal with broad patriotic themes. While Rev. pr. Howe has not definitely announced his sub ject, it will probably have to do with factors which make for the moral and business prosperity of a fair city and is sure to be scholarly and interesting.
 Following the opening Saturday of Merchants week, that particular Sun day will naturally partake in a meas ure of the general thought which is in the public mind, and in all probability other pastors will take up the theme which will be of widest interest at that date.
 Practically all the churches have rep resentatiVe members in the Board of Trade and Business Mems association, so that Merchants week Sunday will have special significance for every congrega ton.

COUCH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to vinoI. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foot hold
 Now isn't it reasonable that tho right way to cure a cough is to build up your run down condition again?
 Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycross Ga, says: 'T had chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time Vinoi cured my cough and l feel stronger in every way"
 The reason Vinol is so efficaoious in such eases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative clements of cod liver oil, with tonic. blood build ing iron added
 Chronic coughs and colds yield to Ninel because it builds up the weak ened rundown system.
