Eaxoritss Of the Gods.

Abyssinia is one Of the countries to
which foreigners and their own people
have given different names. "Abys-
sinia" is derived from an Arabic word
meaning mixture or confusion, in allu-
sion to the mixed character Of the in
habitants. They prefer to call them
selves Philippians, and it certainly is a
fine old name, which makes even Meme
hk's alleged descent from Solomon and
the Queen Of Sheba seem q modern
detail. for the Philippians, according
to the Greeks, were the first inhabit-
ants Of the earth, or. at any rate, the
first who worshiped the gods. Accord
ing to Homer, they were the favorites
Of the gods and the justest Of all men.

At the present time an eight gallon
can of cream is worth about as much
as two sacks of wheat and about 400
pounds of skim milk is left on the
farm that can be used as feed for
pigs and young stock. Is there any
wonder that the grain farmer and his
farm are growing poorer every year
and the dairy farmer and his farm are
growing richer every year?

CENTER CHURCH WELFARE
 CENTER OPENS JULY 6
All Children, Regardless of Race or Creed, Will Be
 Eligible to Attend.

On Monday, July 6. at g o'clock the doors to the basement of the First Congregational church will be opened for the first time for the daily vaca- ton school, a summer welfare recrea- tion activity that is entirely new to this city and the outcome of which will be watched with interest.
 Under the auspices of the young people of the church there will be sessions every morning of the week, except Saturday and Sunday. begin ming at 9:15 o'clock and closing at 11:30 o'clock for six weeks, and all children of the city, boys and girls, from the ages of three to fifteen years, will be eligible to attend.
 These summer schools under the direction of the church and Sunday schools are comparatively new things. Twelve years ago five such summer centers as this were estab- lished in New York city by Robert Boville. He saw an opportunity to bring together idle children, idle churches and idle students. The un- deriving idea in first forming these centers is that during the two sum- mer months school supervision IS withdrawn from no less than eighteen million children. With many of these the vacation is a happy and healthful time; for more however, it is a time of demoraliza tion. if not of danger, and. it Is ]for the benefit of these children that such welfare centers were first established.
 After MT. Boville had established his first center he obtained the use of five church buildings to promote the welfare of children irrespective of race or creed. He arranged that these children should be supervised by young men and women from the educational institutions who wanted an opportunity for social service. This experiment was successful from the start and today there are more than thirty-five cities having such organ izations during the summer.
 The Center church is prepared to follow the example of the larger cities in this respect. One-half of the morning will be devoted to singing, story telling, habit talks, calisthenics and games. The latter half of the forenoon will be an industrial period. The older boys will weave hammocks, the younger boys will make baskets, mats and other articles out of reed. Older girls will have sewing and fancy work and the younger ones will do raffia work. For the younger chil- dren there will be a kindergarten un- der the leadership of Miss Faye Rob- inson, of the Hartford School of Re- ligious Pedagogy.
 This welfare center will be man. aged by eighteen or twenty young people. some of whom are local High school students, some from colleges and normal schools and others who are tried teachers. The Center church will be open to all boys and girls, re- gardless of nationality or creed, and from present indications it seems that the work will be useful addition to the summer vacation.

TWO MEN ARRESTED
 FOR EVADING FARES
One Had Money and Declined to Spend It-Other Had But
 Four Cents.

Two local men, k. Albert CorteI and Henry Kapas, were arrested at the center on the arrival of the 12:07 o'clock car from Hartford on charges preferred against them by the con- ductor of refusing to pay their fare from Newington into this city. Mounted Policeman Wagner and Spe- cia1 Officer Dennis O'Keefe made the arrest.
 The two men were locked up on a charge of evading the payment of railroad fare and an additional charge of drunkenness was made against Cortel.
 According to the story told by Kapas, who seemed to be sober when taken into custody, he gave Cortel twenty-five cents when they got on the car at Hartford, with which to pay both fares. He says that his friend did pay their fare to Newington, but after that refused to loosen up. When the conductor looked to him for his pay he could not give 1t to him as he had but four cents on his person. They will be given hearing in the police court tomorrow morning.

T. A.. STANLEY SUES
 FOR $3,OOO ON NOTE
Samuel Welinsky Is Defendant Plaintiff Claims to Have Endorsed
 Note and Then Had to Pay 1t.

According to the we'll known and time worn adage, "A friend in need Is friend indeed Theodore A.. Stanley has found this to be true. On October 23. 1912, MT. Stanley signed a note for $2,000 for the &C., commodation of Samuel Welinsky and the M. D. Stanley company incorporat- ed Since that time it is claimed that MT. Welinsky has not paid his note and as a result MT. Stanley has had to, and is therefore $2,000 shy on the wrong side of his ledger. Through Kirkham and Cooper MT. Stanley is suing for $3,00O, and the writ is re- turnable before the superior court on the first Tuesday in September. Con- stable Fred Wrinkle has attached property of the defendant on Willow street and Hartford avenue.
 In his complaint MT. Stanley states that on October 23, 1912, the M. b. Stanley company, Inc, of this city made out its ncte for $2,000, payable six months after date to Fannie Le- vine with interest. He says that he endorsed the note as a favor to the defendant and to the corporation, but no money to repay him has been forthcoming.
 Accordingly MT. Stanley, the signer of the note, has been called upon to pay the entire amount and has done so. He now seeks reparation and damages through the courts.

MRS. RUFF|NO GIVEN
 SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
Light Term for Slayer of Husband-Dean, Bigam-
 ist, Gets One Year.

Mrs. Theresa Sato Ruffino was sent to jail for six months this morning in superior court for killing her husband, Luciano Ruffino, by shooting him on the morning of March 5 at their home, 131 Lafayette street. The charge against the woman was manslaughter to which she pleaded guilty.
 The facts in the case were presented by Attorney F. F. McDonough, rep- resenting the accused and States Att torney Hugh M. Alcorn. Attorney McDonough told Judge Gager of the inhuman treatment given Mrs. Ruffino by her husband and of his threats to kill her. He. also touched on the fact of Ruffino's alleged degeneracy and of the relations it was alleged he wished to bear with his wife.
 After hearing the statements of the lawyers Judge Gager said in view of what Attorney McDonough had told him, States Attorney Alcorn was, jus tified in not pressing a charge of mur- der in the first degree, the accusation which the woman faced when arrest ed. He said that some punishment was called for, but he did not think ne SnOulQ De severe. lie then named six months in jail as her term. If Mrs. Ruffino behaves her sentence will be five months as she gets five days off each month for good be- havior.
 Great sympathy existed in this city for Mrs. Ruffino and her treatment by Judge Gager will be endorsed by the public.
 Percy S. Dean, who pleaded guilty to bigamy, was sent to jail for one year. Dean had one wife living in Middletown when he married Mary Cockayne Barrows of Seymour street. this city. He was employed in lunch cart at the time. Dean met his Waterloo when his wife came from her home in Middletown to pre- vent an elopement between her hus- band and woman she heard was his affinity. The Barrows girl was an entirely innocent party to the mar riage and believed she was Deans legal wife.

DOESN'T WANT BALL CLUB.

F. H. Afford denied the rumor this afternoon that he was organizing a stock company to buy out William J. Scinski, owner of the New Britain baseball club of the Eastern associa- tion. ''I have troubles enough of my own" said Mr. Afford. It was said that Frank B. Cox the former big leaguer, would be placed in charge of the team if stock company bought it. Luke Scinski was asked few days ago if anyone was after the club and he replied that there was no foundation for the story
