peared in person and the respond
 The employe was injured on July Srd, when he was burned on the back of his right hand by hot tar. Au- gust first the commissioner approved voluntary agreement between en- ployer and employe. By the terms of the agreement tn ec1ainant was to receive compensation at the rate of S6 weekly during disability with medi- cal, surgical and hospital services.
 It is found that according to the agreement as made the claimant has received compensation for four weeks amounting to SPA up to and including August 10th, since which time no payments had been made. The hear ing was asked for by the claimant that the question of disability might be determined and that an award might be made for compensation due at the present time.
 It is found that the claimant is at the present time still disabled but that his compensation can probably be discontinued in a week or two fol- lowing date of the award. as it is esti- mated that by that time he will be suficinetly recovered from his injury to be able to return to work. It is awarded that the respondents shall pay to the claimant compensation from August 11th to September 7th, inclusive and that his compensation shall be continued on the same basis during the remainder of his disability.

Services at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon were in charge of Rev. J. F. Cobb, assosted by the choir of the Church of the Good Shepherd. The subject of the address was Joy in Believing. If we say we believe and then worry we do not know the Com forter the preacher began. The test of faith is to live as though we know God is in the world. Can we not learn own than nature over her laws? With love for God and faith in Him we be- lieve that all things will work together for good. There is joy in the feeling that God is with us always ready to help, to answer our prayers, to make burdens lighter. If one has trust in God one can face the unknown with cheerfulness. We may win confident todays and tonorrows and have trust, if we obey three laws: The moral laws known to us all By observing that good is increasing and evil decreasing. By a response to Gods love which gives confidence. Shall we not in- crease olrd faith in God our Father, in Christ our Brother, and in our fellow man.

 Sent Up to County Jail.

Thirty days in jail was the sen tence meted out by Judge Colt in the New London police court Saturday in the case of John Williams, who caused considerable excitement in State street Friday afternoon, when he hurled a large stone through a plate glass window at the drugstore of the Nichols & Harris Co., Inc.

 Questioned at some length by Judge Colt Williams said he is 61 years old. He came to New London Friday, ar irving about noon, after having walk ed from Mystic, where he spent into Mystic from Westerly, R. | Judge Colt did not question him any farther along that line, but the pris- oner admitted that he walked from Boston, making the journey in easy stages from town to town.

SOCIETY RECEIVES GIFT FROM STONINGTON MAN
N. p. Moves Presents Muzzle Loading
 Gun of Ancient Pattern.

The New London County Historical society Saturday received a notewor- thy gift from former Postmaster N. P Moves of Stonington. It is a muzzle loading gun of ancient pattern owned by his father and possessing a re- n1arkable history. Accompanying the gift is the following explanatory mat ter, which will be framed and hung beside the weapon in the Shaw man sion:
 "The schooner Betsey was fitted out for a sailing voyage to the South Seas by Lawrence & Miner and sailed from New London, Aug. 14, 1840, and from Stonington the next day. Capt Will liam Moves was master and Franklin Moves first mate. On the day of sail ing MT. Lawrence told MT. Moves that if he would kill 600 otter he would on his return make him present of the gun. He killed over TOO, all with ounce bullets, since shot would have injured the skins. MT. Lawrence made good his promise June g, 1842. Capt Moves using the gun as a fowling piece during the remainder of his life and 1t was highly prized by him. He died April 15. 1892, in his 87th year.
 '"The last entry in the log of the Betsey reads: At II D. m. June s, 1S42, made Montauk light and at 5 p. m. June made fast to Lawrence wharf in New London and discharged all hands. So ends this boisterous voyage to the South Seas"
 Here is the cargQ: 12,0O0 hair seal skins, 3,250 otter skins, 250 nutra skins, 120 barrels of elephant and whale oil, 1,500 pounds whalebone The returned value of cargo was $19,- 662.50."
 The gun is in splendid condition and was probably one of the best of it's day. That 1t was able to do vali ant execution is evident from it's his tory. The weapon is regarded as a most valuable addition to the collec- ton of the society.
