Z
CONNEAUT, Ohio, June 29-The
lit.le city Of Conneaut with only 5000
inhabitants and lying forty miles east
OF Cleveland on Lake Erie has out
municipaled'' municipal Cleveland.
This quiet little port claims the dis
tinction OF being the only municipal
summer resort in the country.
Every, night hundreds Of men and
women leave .he wharves and glass
factories to enjoy municipal SWIM
at the municipal beach, to eat mum
icipal meal or to sleep in municipal
bed at the municipal hotel. II they
wish they can dance at the municipal
dance hall or ride In the municipal
roller coaster, and Sunday they can
zee baseball game played by mum
icipal teams. For Twelve years CON
neaut saw its resort which had been
purchased at cost of $4,000, mis-
managed and run down by private IN
dividuals to whom 1t had been leased.
Last fall d. w. Brace was elected
mayor and s. w. Mahaffey. director
Of public service on socialist ticket.
Brace had been railroad conductor
and Mahaffey'a day laborer. The hrst
thing Brace and Mahaffey did was 20
clean up the park 80 that it might be
come a real place of rest for people
of small means. That they succeeded
was shown in the first warm days OF
June when people had to be turned
away for lack OF room. Enlargement
of the resort IL planned for next year.

BIG TREE FELL
ONTO HOUSE
Chimney Knocked OF But Otherwise
very Little Damage
Was Done.

Burlington Hawk-Dye: A part Of a
magnificent elm tree was broken
down by the stiff breeze shortly after
noon Yesterday, and crashed down up
on the home Of Fred e. Gregory, No.
412 Washington street. The chimneys
were knocked of, and some Of :ne
brick work on the west wall will have
to be relaid. but otherwise the dam
age is insignificant. It was one OF
the beautiful elms. IN which Judge
David Rorer was wont to take pride.
In order to preserve and strengthen
II and to avoid che necessity Of am
putating some Of the big limbs, these
had been held in position by great
iron brace. It docs not appear that
the brace gave way, but the fact that
.hs brace was there, seems to nave
weakened the tree. There Is enough
left Of the big tree, however, to make
a very handsome showing.
They must have builded better IN
the good old times, than they do in
the present, for the weight of tina. big
elm would have crushed some Of the
twentieth century houses, as IL they
had been egg shells. The structure
was built as an office for Judge Rorer
originally, and was used by him for
that purpose for many years. Last
year, when the tornado unroofed the
building on Fifth and Washington
streets, this same structure suffered
no damage beyond the loss Of the
chimneys. The people in the neigh
borhood were wondering just how
many sets Of new chimneys that old
house is going to wear out. No MEM
bers of the Gregory family were a.
home, when the accident happened,
and so there was not even bad case
of fright resulting from the crash OF
the mighty old elm. The little house
belongs to the Rorer estate. The
chimneys will be repaired, and the
brick work will receive attention and

THE BROAD, TIGHT GIRDLE GIVES
A HINT OF THE NEW SILHOUETTE

For some time It has been whispered
that the straight figure would shortly
give place to old time curves; 1t is
even predicted that there may be u
suggestion Of hips too, by the time
winter arrives.
This taffeta frock with it, broad
girdle, looped-up, pannier-like, peplum
certainly falls in with this idea; the
quaint faring skirt, with the rufiies
at the bottom is another late design,
decidedly different from the tight skirt
of the last few seasons.
Taffetas is charmingly suited to this
frock; ono Of the printed silks or u
cotton crepe or wolfe would also be
attractive for summer wear.
Tafetas is wide, averaging 30 to 45
inches; it is priced from about $l.25 .

The farewell sermon Of tho Rov.
Robert w. -Lilley, pastor of the First
Christian church was preached yester-
day Rev. Ldllsy leaves on July 2 to
take up his chautauqua work. and will
not return to his charge. having re-
signed here two weeks ago. II was
with sincere expressions OF regre. that
the congregation took leave Of its
pastor who has been with them for
close on to six years.
Rev. Lilley chQse for his subject:
Sour Essentials" Belief or doc
trine fellowship, breaking bread and
prayer are the four big essentials
for church life. Rev. Lilley declared
in mis- sermon. These are absolutely
essential to . greater church. II
one would have strong life and not
weak or wobbly one, Il must have
faith in the belief chat God is the
Father and Christ the Savior.
A church may have brain, brick
and money and yet be refrigerator,
Rev. Lilley said In discussing the
word Fellowship. .he second essential
he quoted. Fellowship, ne said, was
a great word and no church can be
great II 1t fails here.
Chickering'S. schisms and selfishness
will ruin the church, Rev. Lilley de-
clared. The member who will stay
away from church just because some
thing does not please him, needs the
church worse than the church needs
him, he said.
Prayer Meeting Essential.
The communion or breaking bread
ceremony was another Of the big es-
sentials for successful church.
Finally Rev. Lilley dwell. on prayer
Is the fourth essential The apostles
prayed, Stephen died praying and
Christ prayed, Rev. Lilley said. The
weak spot with the church h FREE
quently its prayer meeting. This
should not be, as thsachurch was born
in prayer meeting.
Cooperation BrIngs success.
In introducing his remarks yes.er-
day, Rev. Nlley briAhy sketched his
work when he came here to the church
FIVE years and eight months ago. He
said:

The swimmer has Il chance for his life

A DREAM AND A CRIME
The Story of SIumber Vision That
Comes from Cicero.

Cicero furnishes us with a tale of
two Arcadians. who, travelling togeth-
er. arrived at Niagara, a city Of Greece.
between Athens and Corinth. where
one of them lodged in a friends house
and the other at an inn.
After supper the person who lodged
at the private house went to bed and
falling asleep, dreamed that his friend
at the inn appeared to him and begged
his assistance. because the inn-keeper
was going to kill him.
The man Immediately got out Of
bed. much frightened at the dream:
but, recovering himself and falling
asleep again, his friend appeared to
him a second time and desired that, as
he would not assist him in time. he
would at least care not to let his death
go unpunished- the innkeeper
having murdered him. had thrown his
body in a cart and covered it with
rubbish. He therefore begged that he
would be at the city gate in the morn
ing before the cart was out.
Struck with this new dream, he went
early to the gate, saw the cart and
asked the driver what was in it. The
driver Immediately fled. The dead
body was taken out of the cart and
the innkeeper apprehended and exc
cuted.
