Danbury, Jan. 28-Scenes of joyous
confusion marked the receipt of news
yesterday that the homes of the Dan

the munif1cent contributions of mill

country. The great joy was mani
tested not only by the 100 men whose
homes were to be taken under fore

among their 5000 co-workers in fac

Great crowds gathered outside the

THOMAS PAINE

A pioneer in many domains was
Thomas Paine, who was born in Tibet
ford, Eng, 179 years ago today The
first article he wrote in ARmerica,
published in the Pennsylvania Maya
zine in 1775, was an attack on negro
slavery (which inspired the formation
of the first American abolitionist
society. The first open denunciation
of due1ling, the first Protest Against
Cruelty to Animals appearing in any
influential American publication, and
the first plea for "The Rights of Wo-
man. ever published in the New
World, issued from his viri1e pen. He
invented and superintended. the con-
struction of an iron bridge, the first
of its kind, across the Wear, at Sun
derland, England, in 1888, and in the
same year he was the first to propose
steam navigation in America. He was
the first to suggest a union of the
colonies, and he was the first to write
the words, United States of America

so aroused public opinion against him

Monroe that American would veneer

Frederick Palmer,
War Correspondent,
43 Years Old Today

Frederick Palmer, the most ia
nous of the American war correspo on
dents who have been permitted to OBJ
serve at close range the work of the
British and French armies on the
western front, was born forty-three
years ago to-day at P1easantvi11e, Pa.
For more than a year he was cOntin-
uously with the Allied armies in
France, having been chosen as the Of
fetal representative of the American
Press Mr. Palmer began his news
paper career in Jamestown, N. Y, and
began his career as war correspon-
dent in Greece twenty years ago. Since
then he has covered" wars in the
Philippines, China, Central America,
Macedonia, Manchuria, the Balkans
and western Europe, his experiences
in that line ranging from the Mace
DOMAIN insurrection and the Boxer up
rising to the greatest armed conflict in
all history.
Mr.. Palmer has written one of the
best of the numerous war books, y
since my Year of the Great War is
based on the experiences and ol8serva-
lions of a. man who. has received a
thorough training in military mat
tiers. 1t is evident from a perusa1
of the work that all of the famous
corresp ondent'S SympathieS are with
the Allies, but there is no evidence of
blind partisans1ip or over-enthusias-
tic prejudice. Mr.. Pa1mer's visit to
Berlin convinced him that the Ger
mans are not very serious in their
plea that the war is not of their
making, and that theirs is tthe defens=
i've of a people who think only in the
offensive.''M
Mr.. Palmer spent some time in Bel
giun, and the plight of the people
of that unhappy land touched his
sympathies. There is lighter side
to the German occupation, however,
as evidenced in the correspondents
account of body of Belgian boys
who, wearing old bowler hats with
carrots stuck through the tops to
represent helmets, marched through
street shouting con to Parish
doing the goose-step backwards! He
also records a sconversatio with an
Irish soldier, who, on being told that
some of the Irish in America are pro-
German, exclaimed: Now will We lis

Irishmen on the right side without
one doing the talking for the devil

Carnation Day
Commentaries Birth
of William MCKINLEY

There is every indication that Car
nation Day, which commentaries the
birth of William Mckinley, will be
more widely observed than ever
throughout the United States today.
The Carnation Day observance was
originated by the late Joseph Adams,
of Kalamazoo, Mich, who, after the
death of the martyr president" sug-
gested that on each January 10Th
every one wear a carnation, the IA
vorite flower of the slain statesman.
The suggestion was taken up by the
entire country, and each year has
witnessed extension of the obser-
vance. The Carnation league of
America was formed to foster the
movement, and its efforts have been
attended with great success.
Interest in the Mckinley Day ce1e-
bration naturally centers in the Ohio
cities of Niles and Canton. The body
of the former President rests in the
tomb on Monument Hill in Canton,
where Mckinley long resided. At
Niles, where he was born, the cor
nerstone was recently laid for a Ma
tional Mckinley Birthplace Memoir
ial. This edifice, when completed,
will be a two-story building, severely
colonial in architecture, thanked by
wings, and with a marble figure of
Mckinley, twelve feet in height in
front of the structure. Ionic columns
will support the Nmain portico. The
Niles memorial project was initiated
by J. G. Butler, Jr., of Youngstown,
o., who was largely responsible for
raising the funds to carry it through.
Henry C. Frick was the largest con-
tributor to the fund, giving $4,000.
The house in which the future chief
executive was born was frame struc-
ture of two stories which stood on
the main street in Niles. The site is
now occupied by a bank. The house
was removed to another site, where it
was permitted to fall into ruin, van
ldals helping in its demolition. A few
years ago the building was purchased
by a public-spirited woman, but it
was then only the crpmbling shell of
the house which was the first home
of one of Ohio's most distinguished
sons.

old district and was returned several
times, his last service in Congress hav-
ing been from 1889 to 1891. In the
intervals between his legislative ser
vice he was United States marshal in
Massachusetts. General Banks died in
his native city in 1894, leaving behind
him the memory of a long and useful
life, largely spent in the service of his
country.

THE BOoKWoRM HABIT

one Of the prominent ideas of mod
ern school life is to interest the .pu-
pills in good books and help them ac-
quire the reading habit. The dog
cared old reading books of former
years, with their hifa1utin selections
of poetry, philosophy, and oratory
have disappeared. In many schools
the reading books consist of high class
standard. works of fiction and other
classics that young folks should en-
joy.
with the majority of children this
creates a familiarity with the printed
page that otherwise they might not
acquire But there is always a GER
tain proportion of children who need
no Indictment to, books. You take
them visiting, and instead Of joining
in other chi1dren's plays, they burrow
in book shelves. They waste their
eyesight in poor light, and their
cheeks fade in the indoor life.
Such children live in a dream world.
They walk. talk and think in the book
atmosphere. Their heroes are crea-
lures of fiction. They are so busy
seeing what other and imaginary
characters have done, that they have
no power left to start things of their
own Turn such children outdoors
for some fresh air, and they dawdle
around and soon come in and ask
their mothers what they shall do.
This is not meant as an argument
against the cultivation of the reading
habit in schools. For every one book
worm, there are half a dozen to whom
any book seems like a school task.
formidable and repe11ing. They need
all possible encouragement to find the
pleasures and inspirations of Book
land.
The little bookworm is separate
problem. Teachers should see to it
that they join with their comrades
in the sports around the school
grounds. Such children should be
given basebaIls and footballs for
Christmas instead of books. Every
time they can be forced out into active
play with other children, their power
for action in the world has been as
sisted.

The Royal Admiral of Italy

Admiral the Duke of the Abruzzi
the royal commander chief of the
italian navy, will pass his forty-third
milestone to-day, having been born
Jan. 20, 1873. He is the third son
of Amadeo, Duke of Aosta, son of
King Victor Emmanuel II, of Italy,
and was born in Madrid during his
fathers brief reign as King of Spain.
Amadeo I, was elected 70 the Spanish
throne in 1870, and abdicated on Feb
II, 1873. when the present chief of
Italy's navy was about two weeks
old. Prince Luigi Amadeo Giuseppe
Maria Ferdinand Francesca Of Savoy,
Duke of the Abruzzi, to give him his
full name. is famous as an explorer
and geographer. Twenty years ago
he visited America and assembled Mt
st. Elias in Alaska. In 1900 he led
a polar expedition which penetrated
nearer to the North Pole than had
been done at that time, his party
reaching a pooint closer to the goal
than had Nansen His explorations
and mountain climbing feats in Cen
trail Africa and in the Eimalayas ad-
ded to his fame. With a party of six
guides he attained the altitude of a.
900 feet in the Hfmalayas, the high
est point ever reached. While visit
ling in America with an Italian squad
ron some years. ago he met and fell
in love with Miss Katherine E1kins,
the West Virginia heiress. For
months the papers of America and
Europe were filed with rumors of
their impending marriage, but the ro-
nance came to nothing. His eIeva-
ton to the chief command af1oat of
the Italian fleet was very popular in
Italy, for the Duke had demonstrated
his fitness for the post in the Italo-
Turkish war, when the Turkish gun
boats were torpedoed in Durazzo har-
Dor by the torpedo squadron which
he commanded.

THE sWEDENBoRG1ANs

The Church of the New Jerusa-
lem observes today the 22sth ami
versary of the birth Of the founder
of the sect, Emanua1 Swedenborg,
who was born in Stockholm, Swed-
en-, Jan. 20, 1888. The Swedenbor-
gians in the United States and Can
ada now number over 10000, with
more than $50 churches. England is
the greatest stronghold of the sect,
but the church has a considerable
following in Sweden, Norway, Dem
other countries.
The works of the Swedish theolo-
gian have lately undergone expurga-
ton at the hands of his American
disciples, who have eliminated the
doctrine of concubinage'' taught by
their great leader. This doctrine
teaches that under certain circurn-
stances certain relations outside of
marriage are not evil, nor a violation
of the Seventh Commandment The
general convention of the American
church renowned this doctrine, de-
claring that "any minister doing these
body as a disturber of our peace, a
defi1er of purity, a blasphemer of
Gods word and a. scandalizer of our
doctrines
The Swedenborgians believe that
the founder of their sect witnessed
the last judgement, or the second ad-
vent of Jesus, whom they consider
the only God, embracing Father, Son
and Holy Ghost; and that Sweden
borg's works contain revelations
which constitute the key to the Sa-
cred Scriptures, which they hold to
be the true Word of God.

The annual ball of the Park City

in the affair and others who waited
