The Personality of Christ

We judge by their personality the image they present the world bytheir acts and words. So men are classified by their wealth brains but by the part they play in the affairs of life About the n divdual that if back of the mask know nothing save as he speaks through it. Judged thus is Jesus worthy be followed? The message of the angels his coming was song of peace earth good will men, Not ideal that he upifted his life with the an gel song The cradle song of Bethlehem is applicable to every day of his life.
 The child became a whose mighty voice was lifted in protest against the i'll will that peace earth Listen while he gives utterance the formal of mind that will make blessed They have been we'll named the Beattudes Are they less applicable to every day of the year than Chrstmas Purity of mind meek ness of disposition fraternity of attitude hunger for righteousness mercy the of others and the genius of peacemaRng- these not applicable to black clouds of evil thoughts and more evil judgments would disappear from the sky of mortal ife great zest for right thinking and right acting would quicken our weary feet with the resessness of youth Our hearts would be sensitzed the of the hungry and the dis pairing Social equality and economic justice would de- woman and child would have liberty and fair play-room to stretch arms and souls the right work the right to be happy and to look Up at the stars Rev.

When we get at the bottom 1t is doubtful if there is a million aire in the country who has ob- served the golden rule in the amassing of misfortune. He has lobbied legislation; he has beaten the people out. of franchises; he has sold impure food; he has in- ferior goods in the market; he has sold at eXtortion prices; he has paid starvation wages.

LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.
SuperStitiOus Believe Phenomenon
 May Presage War.

In the midst of the northeast sleet storm about 1:30 o'clock this after noon residents of the city were startled by a brilliant bash of light ming followed by a heavy peal of thunder. People could scarcely be- lieve their senses, but little inquiry showed that many had observed the phenomenon. Some concluded that the lightning and thunder was a sign of the arrival of spring, but observa- tiOn lent no proof to this theory as fol- lowing the brief display of heavenly epyrotechnics snow began to fall in quantity and once more mantled the sidewalks in white.
 People who hold to superstitious belief saw an omen in the thunder and lightning and declared it pre- saged war before the close of the year. As the nation has apparently been on the verse of war a score of and is even now threatened with a sanguinary struggle with Mexico, those who hold to this theory had no trouble in finding followers.
 Returning to the storm, it may be remarked that according to Clerk r. days downfall makes the thirty-sec- ond since last November 3. Gentle spring appears a long way off.

BETTER TROLLEY SERVICE.
Chamber of Commerce Arrangcs fOr
 Comfort of Thcatcr Patrons.

Through the activities of the Chamber of Commerce better trolley facilities have been promised 10 io- cal patrons, particularly on the Plain vile and Hartford lines. Already the service on the former line has been improved after the theaters close by the addition of an extra car on nights that the patronage war rants and it is the aim of the com pany officials to continue improve ments until it measures up to what it should be.
 Local people working in the offices in Hartford, have for sometime been disgruntIed over the manner in which the cars to this city are loaded down. There is on an average enough peo- ple employed in these places to fill a car every evening, and on top of this the Capitol City residents living in the southwestern part of the city pile on the New Britain car, add ing to the discomforture. Superin tendent Beardsley has informed Sec retarv Andrews of the changer, that ears are expected daily, and as soon as they are received they will be pressed into service.

 IN FIFTEEN DAYS
Thomas A. Edison Says He Could Do It With the Proper Equipment
 Laboratory Cost $1,5O0,O0O.

Washington, March 15.-Thomas A. Edison told the house naval commit tee today that with a fully equipped federal research laboratory and standardization of machine parts submarine could be built in fifteen days. He said the United States should appropriate liberally for such a laboratory, as recommended by the naval advisory board of civilian eX- perts.
 Such laboratory, preferab ply un- der the administrat ation of the navy department, MT. Edison said, would make to standardize parts for sub- marines or aerOplanes. The govern ment would distribute these standard lzed parts to manufacturers. The in VentOr said that in distribution he would favor the small factory in the small town because in larger city fac tories he thought was too much waste of time and red tape. A federal laboratory, he said, could be put in full working operation for $1, 500, 900. Secretary Daniels, number of rear admirals other officers and some in ventors formed an interested group that heard MT. Edison

Buckingham for compensation result ing from the death of Walter M Shaw, a conductor of the Connecticut Co.,, several weeks ago, each saying that she is the widow. The com plications in the case brought about an adjournment of the hearing until tomorrow.
 Shaw was killed at Ash Creek while changing the trolley pole on his car. The contention that an- other car bore down upon him and caught and crushed him against the side of his car which was about to be switched over at a turn out.
 Under the law the compensation claims hearing was called for March 8, Sally Elizabeth Hobbs Shaw of Norfolk, Va, entered her claim through Clarence E. Hall of this city, an attorney, as the widow. At the same time M. J. Murphy, an attorney of Providence, R. l., enter ed an appearance for the widow. The attorneys at the time thought they represented the same widow. But today it developed that Rosalind Stevens Hewlett Shaw of Providence also claimed to be the widow.
 The Mrs. Shaw of Providence says she was married to Shaw at Eliza beth City, N. C., July 5, 1912, and her brother, Russell B. Stevens ider- tif1ed her as the wife of that mar riage. The Norfolk claimant sent an affidavit to the effect that she mar nied Shaw at Elizabeth City, N C., Sept. g. 1908, and that she claimed the body

 Candidate.

Washington, March 15.-Charles S. Smith, president of the Old Dominion Copper company of New Jersey, told today to the senate judiciary sub committee Investigating the fitness of Louis D. Brandeis to be a supreme received between s225, OO0 and s230,- 900 as fees for conducting the suit by which the company recovered S2,0OO,- 900 secret profits obtained by A. s. company.

CURTIS WITHDRAWAL
 APPEARS BUT RUM0R
Councilman Has Nothing to Say and Mayor Is
 Skeptical.

Persistent reports that Councilman o. F. Curtis had decided to with draw as a candidate for the repub- lican nomination for mayor have been in circulation about the city all day today. Every politician and near politician apparently had heard the story and it was found to have reached the mayors office. Notwith- standing, it could not be verified A Herald man interviewed MT. Curtis at the City hall shortly before noon, but the gentleman from the third had nothing to offer. He would neither affirm nor deny and outside of a re- mark to the effect that he would have mething definite to announce within a few days maintained 8 sphinxlike attitude.
 Beyond the report that Councilman Curtis had decided to withdraw from the mayoralty fight the day developed nothing new on the political situation. This story has gained ground as the result of the action of Ex-Tax Col lector H. M Steele and Ex-represen- tative E. w. Schultz in endorsing Mayor Quigley's candidacy Friends of the mayor considered this a stroke of unusual import and easily conclud- ed that Councilman Curtis had had the deck shot from under him this early in the fight.
 Nothing that could lend more ere dence to the story than has been given could be learned and when Mayor Quigley was interviewed on the sub Ject, His Honor disclaimed belief in 1t. Mayor Quigley knows the fight ing qualities of the gentleman from the third as well if not better than any politician in the city and he could not credit the report that Councilman Curtis had struck his colors.
