DAN" CRAWFORD SPEAKS TONIGHT AT
 PEOPLES CHURCH

Daniel Crawford, the daring mis- sionary-expIorer, who is to address representatives Of the churches of the city at the Peoples church. Laurel and Park avenues. tonight at 7:45, is said to talk as Rudyard KipIing writes,'' The London correspondent Of one of the leading monthly publica- lions says of him: s'He has made an extraordinary reputation in this coun- try, as one Of the most original and captivating speakers that ever stepped on a platform. ''
 He was the first man to walk in the footsteps of Livingstone in Darkest Africa; in fact, he penetrated the land beyond the Luanaza, which Living stone had hoped to reach, but was unable to do so, because of death overtaking him. MT. Crawford is said to tell the weirdest stories of native life, big game hunting. African cus- toms and legends; and always takes his audience by storm.
 The devotion of MT. Crawford and his wife to their work in Africa seems almost incredible. Returning to civ ilization a year ago, after twenty three years of continuous labor among the black people, he now plans that upon his return civilization shall see him no more.
 MT Crawford's s work is an independ- ent one. being under the protection of no foreign board of missions. "Liv- ingstone was buried with his eyes to- ward Africaseven as he lay in West minister; he loved Africa he has said, stand felt the call to his beloved people So I went" The purpose of his tours through Scotland and Eng land which he recently completed, and now seeks to effect in this country, is to raise sufficient money to unable him build such a hospital as will enable his wife who was trained in Glasgow medical schools, to care for the ills of their people over there, and also to enable him to develop the work along E lines he believes will count for the most good. He has trained many na- tive workers who now carry on the work efficiently, but he hopes to be able to map out work yet unattempted among them.
 Mir Crawford comes here wt+h no guarantee of financial support vsher than that he is to receive the volun- tary collection that will be taken up at the close of his address.
 A large representation is expected to be present from the different churches of the city, but the meeting is open to all who desire to attend, the youth not excepted.
 After completing his itinerary in this country, Mir. Crawford will meet his wife in Australia, and them both will sail for Africa

 a Concerning the Free Bed Fund ;, included in MT. Gunshanan's plan, the Hartford Tices said editorially in yes- terday's issue:
 THE FREE BED FUND.
 Bridgeport is just taking up the organization of the working1nen of it's factories into societies. the pI1rposa of whichh shall be to care for it's members who fall victims of tubercu- 1osis. Hartford did this nearly ten years ago and with satisfactory re- suits In this one instance, at least, Hartford is ahead of the city which Barnum made famous. There are other things in which Hartford is first, too. However, in it's systematic care of workmen stricken by tuber- culosis the Hartford societies formed among the shops, have been <signallv successful It is of small moment to take the head of the family, and of tentimes the sole wage-earner. to the sanatorium which the state has estab- lished. and leave his mind a prey of the worry which naturally follows in ability to provide for the folks left at home.
 f It is here that the free bed funds as established through the instru- mentality of John F. Gunshanan. have done good service. Practically every important business house and manufactory was included in the plan adopted in 1905. MT Gun shanan is about to perfect a similar plan for Bridgeport. Better late than never in we'll doing seems to be the slogan Of the city by the Sound.

FRENCH TROOPS WEARING
UNIFORM THAT is BETTER

London, Eng, Dec. ia correspond
ent in France of an English news
paper says of the new French military
uniform: THE color is agreeable to
the eve, and to make up for the blow
to the sensibiIities Of French patriots
which the disappearance Of the old red
trousers and blue tunic with its his
toric associations will naturally cause,
red and white threads are woven into
the blue. The blue-gray is an excel
lent shade for escaping notice. 1t will
blend particularly well with the gray
winter landscapes in which the troops
are now fighting. 1t is perhaps not
quite so good in this respect as the
German uniform, which is distinctly
lighter and grayer. It would be i'm
possible to confuse the two except at
a great distance, and in any case, the
flat German cap will remain distinc-
tive mark, the cap of the new French
Uniform being something like the glen
garry in shape with flaps which can
be folded down over the ears. Cap,
coat and trousers are all of the same
color"
