A Scavenger Priests Story.-Rev.
e. Bans of London, Eng, gives an in
teresting account of how he became a
scavenger for the sake of his orphans
and the Receiving Home in which he
cares for 1000 of them. The new Of
fees and Receiving Home, he writes,
have been built at cost of 100000,
and the new property of 270 acres in
the country has been bought at a cost
of 97,950. A loan was raised of $50
($89,750). To face this new financial
burden perforce became scavenger,
with the result that the expenses of
raising that loan, the interest on that
loan, and already a portion of that
loan have been paid out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of rubbish. When
the whole Of this loan has been re-
paid, then the proceeds of the sale Of
rubbish will be free for the general
use of the work, and have no hesita-
ton in saying that in the course of
four, five, or six years, If only can
extend and organize this collection Of
rubbish as desire to do, there will
be no need to make special emergency
appeals for the work. Not one penny
of any persons subscription or dona-
ton has been spent on the purchase
of the new property and the building
of the new offices and Receiving
Home, and never will be. In conclu-
sion, I will only reiterate that we
could make 100000 instead of $4,000
if we had the plant. From 1907 to
November, 1913, the sum of $11,50O
was netted for the children's home
from the sale of rubbish.

Socialists Exclude Freemasons.-
The Italian Socialist party at its an
nual meeting in Rome has voted to
exclude Freemasons from its mem
bership, and has declared itself to be
completely independent. This action
does not, of course, alter the "antf-
clericalism" of the party; but it is
important because it diminishes the
effectiveness of the anti-Catho1ic
'.bloc," which the Freemasons are try
ing to form in narIiament.

CLAIMS THAYER BUILDING
 ENcRoAcHES ON HIS LAND
Louis WunderIieh Brings Suit Against
 Judge John M. Thayer.

The hearing that was to have been held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in the court of common pleas upon the matter of the petition of Louis Wun- derlich in suit against Judge John M. Thayer has been carried over to Thursday of next week. The matter was brought before Judge Shumway but because of the circumstances it was postponed. The sum of $10,00O Is claimed by the plaintiff who also demands that the defendant be ordered to remove the building and debris from the plaintiffs land and to desist from further erecting and maintaining said building upon the plaintiffs land. It appears that there is a dispute over certain land in the rear of the Wun- derlich building on Bath street. The property has been surveyed by two civil engineers and considerable time mas been spent searching the records in the vault in the town clerks office The situation is viewed differently by both engineers each claiming he is right in the matter Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher, employed by Mr. Wunderlich, states that the Wunder- lich property extends from IA to 3-4 inches in the rear of the Wun- derlich building. Chandler and Palmer, employed by Judge Thayer, bring the boundary line close to the Wunderlich building
 MT. Wunderlich purchased the build ing and land from Fred and Charles H. Dearing, who in turn purchased the property from William Tubbs There are three deeds to the property dating Oct. 26, 1889 for a certain tract, March s. 1S45 for a second tract and October 12, 1860 for the third tract.

ASK NEW LONDON
 FOR TRACT OF LAND
Needed for Extensive Freight Yard and Industrial Sites at Terminal,

In furtherance of the ocean terminal project now under way at East New London, for which $1.000,00 was ap- propriated by the general assembly of 1911, the city of New London will be sential to the successful establishment of an extensive freight yard and indus trial track, both of which are features of the vast proposition which the com monwealth of Connecticut has under taken. At the meeting of the New London court of common council next Monday evening a resolution will be introduced, requesting the council to recommend that the city of New Lon don convey to the state that portion of Riverside park which lies easterly of the track of the Central Vermont rail- way.
 At the present time not more than 300 or 400 feet of the waterfront of Riverside park are required for the purposes of the terminal and the deed which the city will be asked to exc cute to the state will contain the stip- ulation that such part of the water front as is not needed for the imme- diate use of the harbor commission may continue to be utilized by the city and that 90 days notice shall be given when the city shall be called upon to vacate.
 That section of the park west of the railroad tracks where the cove is To- cated and where the bathhouses are situated, will not be required by the state probably for 1 to 15 years and no request to include it in the pros pective deed will be made
 This resolution comes as a result of the meeting of the New London harbor commission at the Thames club Thursday afternoon. Governor Bald win was at first inclined to the opinion that the city should be asked to deed Riverside park in it's entirety to the state. but eventually members of the commission pointed out the fact that there was no necessity for this and their position was sustained
 That the city was expected to con- tribute a portion of the land to be used in the terminal project was un- derstood from the first and it is gen. orally regarded as being no more than its share due an enterprise to which the state has contributed the sum of $1, ,000, ,00O.
 At the present time the state of Con- necticut is the owner of the entire waterfront from the railroad bridge over the Thames north to the southerly end of Riverside park. It is the in tention of the harbor commission to reclaim from the grasp of the river tract extending from the bridge and including the park front easterly of the railroad track. In this way from 40 to 80 acres of new land will be available.
 Upon this tract it is the expecta- tion of the state that numerous in dustrial enterprises will be located, af- ter the manner of several of the largest cities of the world. With connections to two railroads and transatlantic transportation at the very doors of these concerns, it is an easy matter to perceive how the cost of transpor- tation would be reduced to the abso- Iute minimum
