daring than their entrance. They
leaped from the express car while it

London, June q. 49, The house of

The majority by which the house
of commons reatfirmed its adhesion TO
the principle Of woman suffrage as

the lack of interest shown at times in

Japanese Scholar
Will Lecture at
Y. M. c., A. Monday

Minosaku Toshi Yamomoto. one OF
the best known Japanese lecturers on
the American platform, will lecture at
the Y. NJ. G. A. Monday night at
o'clock. Without doubt Mr.. Yamomoto
is more competent to speak upon the
cordial relations which should exist
between the United States and japan
than any other person now in Amer
ica. He is we'll prepared by years of
his experiences to impart for Ameri-
cans sane and sound knowledge of all
that constitutes his country.
Mr. Yamomoto has received his col
lege and university education both in
Japan and the United States. In, adj
Idtion to the fact that he has been
thoroughly educated, 1t is Of interest
to note that Mr., Yamomoto is the au-
thor Of several books upon the condi-
tons in his own country, especially as
they relate to the United States. His
last book which contains six of his
lectures is ample proof Of his scholar
ship and mastery Of the English Ian
guage.
Mr.. Yamomoto has the traditional
cleverness of his people, and his lee
lures bristle with wit and humor as
we'll as information and good will,
winch WOuIO terfO TO make MS hearers
change their opinions if they had an
idea Of Japan as a warlike nation. AS
his lecture subjects show, his talk is
permeated with a spirit of Oriental
poetry as well as that of Japanese
common sense.
Mr.. Yanlomoto's lecture will be IL
lustrated by a very costly set of ster-
eopticon slides which were hand col
ored by Japanese artists. These views
are said to be without a rival and give

under whose leadership 4 churches
of the West Side of the city will
unite. The field of operations for this
drive is the entire west half of Bridge
port, west of Main street. With more
than $4,000 persons in the neighbour

meeting place was imperative.
The executive committee, made up
Of the pastor and two members of
each Of the cooperating churches ac-
cording1y closed a contract last week
for the Casino in State street for the
meetings, and alterations will be made
to give the Casino a tabernacle ap-

seating 800 will be erected to accom-
modate the big chorus that will be
directed by Mrs. Rees, the evange-
lists wife.
Rev. H, D. Pierce, of the music
committee has promised the organiza-
ton of an orchestra to lead the sing
ing Two choruses will be organized
to serve on alternate nights. DR.. Rees
is an expert organizer as we'll as an
eloquent preacher, and the first steps
have already been taken to perfect a
most efficient organization for the
campaign. DR.. Rees works with all
the thoroughness Of Billy Sunday,
avoiding some of the features Of Mr..
Sundays work that have proved OBJ
jectionab1e to many. Never In the
history of the city has the religious
atmosphere been so charged with
faith and expectancy as now.
In the last two years thousands
have come to Bridgeport whom the
churches have been unable to reach.
Meetings will be held afternoons at
8 and evenings at 7:45. More de-
finite announcements will be made
nearer the opening Of the campaign.
Sunday afternoon at at Grace

nearly 100 men will be held. The sew

HOW SOME FAMOUS
SCIENTISTS GOT -
THEIR START

Edison was a train boy on the
Grand Trunk line, a printer and a
telegraph operator before he patent
ed his first invention, which was a
printing telegraph for stock quota
tions.
Charles P. Steinmetz, one of the
modern wizards of electricity, gained
the rudiments of his scientific knowl-
edge in his native Germany, but had
to flee that country to escape impris-
onment because of his socialistic
ideas. Y.
Guglielmo Marconi began his ex-
periments in wireless 'telegraphy on
his fathers estate in ITALY the idea
having been suggested to him by OBJ
serving the radiation of waves when
stone is thrown into calm water.
Charles Darwin laid the foundation
for his great work while acting as
naturalist to the expedition Of H. M.
S. Beagle, which was dispatched to
South American waters for a hydro
graphical survey in 1882.
Prof. Thomas II. Huxley, the ia
nous naturalist and father Of agnos-
ticism, started his career as a me-
chanical engineer, and later studied
medicine, but his interest in biology
was aroused while acting as assistant
surgeon on the Rattlesnake during
a four years cruise in the South Pa
cific.
Prof. Haecke1, the greatest Of the
German evolutionists, was from his
boyhood student of natural science,
and later studied medicine, but first
attained fame by his ORIGINALITY in
geological studies.
Samuel P. Nangley. the pioneer in
the development of heavier. than air
flying machines and long the secre-
tary Of the Smithsonian Institution,
got his start as an architect and civil
engineer.
Rudolph Virchow, the great Ger
man pathologist, first became promi-
nent as liberal leader in the Ger
man revolution of 184S. and through
out his life remained the bitter op-
ponent of Bismarck and his imper-
ialistic policies and the friend Of the
