on any Sunday, it was credited with 100 points; if but half of it's members attended church. it received but fifty, and so on. There were special cred it's also for securing new members fifty points, and for getting back former members who had dropped out-twenty- five points.
 The three clubs who stood highest at the end of the contest were the Burritt, with 2,272 points, the Lincoln with 1,1991, and the Hill, with 1,443. The record of the Burritt club, win ners of the contest is worthy of note. In the four Sundays of March, every member of the club was present on every Sunday. In addition, they were credited with from sixty-seven to eighty eight per cent. for church at tendance every Sunday, and got one new member and brought back one old one who had dropped out, during the month. The names of the mem bers follow: Leader, Fred Stevens; members, Nathan Abetz, Albert Rock we'll Harold Wallin, Carl Wiegand, Earl Anderson, Herbert Kysek, George Zehler, Mortimer Stanley and Roy Cameron.
 A new contest was started April 1, to continue through the rest of the school year. It looks as if the Burritt club had set about to retain it's lead ership, for it has already gotten one more former member back into active membership.
 A great deal of credit is due to the leader of the club, Fred Stevens, and to the superintendent of the Boys di- vision, Louis Bruemmer, for the success with which this contest has been conducted.

installed a big saving will be effected the lights with increased power, cost ing $75, whereas the present lights cost $S3 each per annum.
 Another feature that captured the eyes of the local city fathers was the pretty flower garden near the depot. The plot is a thing of beauty, caro- fully kept and is something that appeals to the eye of every stranger that enters the city. Chairman Hum phrey favors the placing of simi- lar garden or the triangular parcel of land on Main street near Engine company No. 3.
 The advantages of the subway sys tenn was emphasized to the minds Of the commissioners, when the ugly sys- tenn of overhead wires was seen strung along the principal streets of the Brass City.
 If arrangements can be made au exhibition of the proposed new light will be held in this city in the near future, Superintendent Lyon having promised Superintendent Atwater to loan apparatus that will make this possible.

Gaffney explained that the board is not legally liable for such claims, but with this understanding a special exception might be made in the case. The matter was referred to, the fin ance committee for adjustment.
 E. o. Kilbourne reported for the special committee on lunches at the High school that he had visited tEc High School of Commerce in Spring field. There they serve 1,200 pupils in less than half an hour. pr. Mar tin thought this an alarming state ment and wondered as to the diges tive powers of the children. MT. Kii- bourne said the Springfield school has an elaborate kitchen equipment. It is not proposed to establish any thing of this character at the local school. He asked for an appropria- tion of $50 to be used for architec- tural work. Changes in the basement of the old High school building will be necessary to equip it for lunch purposes. When these plans have been drawn a further report will be made.

 MEET WITH FAVOR
Members Of Board of Public Works
 Inspect System Last Evening

After carefully looking over the new lights recently established in Wa terbury, last evening, members Of the board of public works of this city were thoroughly satisfied with the style Of fhe lamp and the service which is identical to the new method to be installed in this city during the coming year. Of a five amphere 9O0 candle power high efficiency the lights throw a magnificent glow that has a pleasing effect on the eyes and also brightens the streets in excellent manner.
 In the party that went to the Brass City were President E. N. Humphrey of the board, Commission CTS John F. Moore. John F. Downes, John Anderson, John O'Brien, Tho mas Donlon and Superintendent G. F. Atwater of the United Electric Light and Water company. The trip was made in Messrs. Humphrey and Downcs' new touring cars.
 On arrival in Waterbury the party was met by Superintendent Fred Lyon and Engineer David Meth and was chaperoned about the city, where the new lights have been installed. The method Of placing the lights n that city differs materially from the plan that the local board has in mind Stretched at distances of over 200 feet in some places. the lights give fine service, but with the plan of the local commission to have lights at a distance of not over 100 feet apart the service here will be doubled. It is proposed to establish about eighty three of these new lights. The area to be covered will be Main street from Franklin Square to a point near St. Mary's church; Arch street as far as Grand street, East Main street, West Main street to High street, and Church street With the new lights

BURRITT CLUB WINS
 AT SOUTH CHURCH
Lincoln Club Second and Hill
 Third in Sunday School Race

The Boys division of the South Con- gregational Sunday school has just closed a contest among it's constituent clubs for Sunday school and church attendance which has aroused a good deal of interest among the boys. The Boys division is composed of all the boys classes in the sch OOl above cer- tain grade, which corresponds to about the sixth grade in day schoolI These classes are no longer called classes in the Boys division, but are clubs each having a president and sec retary elected from among their own number, and each having an adult male leader. Many of the clubs have other sessions, besides the one on Sunday when all come together for the study of the Sunday school lesson. At these other week day sessions, the boy sometime go out on hikes with their club leader, sometimes meet in the evening for a social time at the home of the leader or one Of the members.
 Among the clubs the keenest rivalry has existed for several months because ot the contest for perfect attend ance and church attendance. Any club whose members were all there on given Sunday was given 100 points for attendance; if one or more of the bows were absent, a percentage was deducted according to the member shin of the club. In similar way, if a club had all it's members in church

SEEKS TO AID THE
'DOWNAND OUT MAN
FREE LANCE" MISSIONARY, A.
J. WILLIS rs IN THE CITY AND
CARRIES TESTIMONIALS FROM
MANY MINISTER'S.

A j. Willis, 65 years of age, sffree
lance" missionary, as he elects to
style himself at times, is in the city,
and in Pensacola the aged stranger
is first of all arying to establish a
home for the down and outs" here.
He has taken home on East 1nten-
dencia street, and In the preliminary
work of his organization, has thus
far secured unqualified endorse
ment of local ministers. He is, main
ly, seeking to provide a home for the
man in soiled clothing, and the Ameri-
can sailor is one Of the charges whom
he seeks to take care of in his work.
Through the aid of the "down and
out" fellow workman, he will probably
do great work here. He now carries
- n ssenoents from practically all the
local ministers with whom he has con-
Is.- eu.
Seeking the cooperation of local
ministers and church workers general
ly, he proposes to put into effect here
plan, unique and unusual. He pro-
poses to rent a small modest home,
to be Shelter" for the man who
comes here seeking work and without
funds. He viii give these men two
nights shelter, coffee and bread,
bath, shave and shoe shine, then en-
deavor to secure work for him. If the
man shows a desire to work he viii
be required to secure home with
some deserving person and then him
self pay for his upkeep. IF he is a
laggard, he win be turned over to the
police as vagrant, with the request
that he be made to work.
Mr.. Willis is a man, who shows his
weight of years, his snow white beard
giving him an appearance which de-
notes his age. Among the endorse
ments he carries, none are more highly
priced than one from Rev. ]. M. Dan
nelly, who thus refers to the man
who presents it: "He sleeps and eats
at city prison, in Bethels, or, like a
bird, picks up the crumbs that fall
from the rich mans table. I cannot
and would ont picture him If I could.
Irrepressible, persistent, truthful and
thoroughly honest, this queer, quaint
and quixotic zealot must be seen and
known to be appreciated. BE not for
getful to entertain strangers. for by
so doing some entertain an angel una

TUGS
LAND MUCH WORK
SEA KING AND LEROY. WHICH
WENT TO CUBA, BOTH sECUR-
ED ToWs BACK TO STATES
AND ARRIVED SAFELY.

Tugs Sea King and Leroy, which
went to Cuba some two weeks ago
both landed good contracts while al
the Cuban capital, the Leroy getting
tow to Miami, while the Sea King
towed a vessel to Brunswick, Ca, and
left the latter port last night for
home. She viii go via Key West,
and it is possible another contract
will be secured at that point.
The Leroy, it is said, will return
to Cuba and take in tow the several
barges which have been delivered
there within the past several weeks,
and return here with all the emptied
barges she can reach, which are the
property Of the Aiken Company.
There are already two more barges
to go TO Cuba, and both were cleared
yesterday for Havana. Il was an
nounced that the tug Il. e. Simpson
would start out with the Teddy and
Bobby-Ho, and 1t may be that she
will be met on the high seas by one
of the other tugs returning TO PEN
sacola and possibly be relieved of her
tow.
At any rate, the lumber trade TO
Cuba from Pensacola has been ex-
ceedingly active of late, and requires
almost the entire time and work of
the two big tugs of the Aiken Tow
boat Company to keep up the con-
tracts which seems to be ON the in
