s1eoco DAMAGE IN FIRE
 AT HUDSON.ESSExG GARAGE

Fire which broke out a few minutes after Il o'clock Saturday morning in the Hudson & Essex garage in Whites court off Main street, just east of Franklin square, did $10,000 damage to the garage, the machines stored in it and to the Norwich Hat factory on the top floor which suffered mostly from smoke.
 The fire was caused by the short eircuiting of wire on machine which was being repaired. The short circuit caused a spark which fen into a receptable containing gasoIene. The flames shot up and in a remark ably short period the whole interior of the garage was ahlaze Peter Cie- carelli who was near the car, which was the same car that overturned near Franklin while attempting an endur- ance run recently sent in a telephone call to the fire department and then jumped into a closed car and backed out into the alley. He had some diff ficulty in getting the machine out of the garage owing to the dense black smoke which very nearly overcame him.
 When the auto bumper arriv ed the smoke and flames were pouring out of the building. The Main Street chemi- cal closely followed the bumper and us As the fire had the nakings of a very serious blaze one of the captains re- quested a bystander to. pull in Box 23. He evidently nistook the location of the Box 23 and rushed up to Box 223 which he pulled. At the san < mo-
 ment someone else pulled in Box g and the two boxes coming in simultan- eously resulted in a general mixup, and what appeared to be Box 13 was
 sounded.
 The various stations in the city had
 been notified from the Central Station that the auto bumper and Main street chemical were out on a telephone call and the renaa inder of the apparatus
 responded to Box 13.
 Quick and effective work on the part of the auto bumper and Main Street companies kept the fire from spreading and it was soon under control. The 1 recall was sounded at 1140 o'clock 1 In the garage were an Essex tour 1 ing car, one Overland runabout. and one 1912 Cadillac touring car. owned l by Frank White, proprietor of the 1 garage, who was in Jewett City when | the fire broke out. These cars were alr1ost 2 total loss.

TIMES ARE GALL TO HEROIC SOULS

St. Paul's words from Philemon 4: 10, T have learned in whatsoever state I am to be content" made the text for Rev. pr. S. H. Howas sermon Sunday morning at Park Congregational church. Dr. Howe made his sermon one of present day application to the spirit of unrest abroad in the world and drew the lesson that discontent is after all the source of real progress and these times are trumpet call to heroic souls.
 In part Dr. Howe said: Paul's words are the speech of a eontented man. a veritable ''rara avis" rarely found. We are a restless. discontepted folk, beat ing the bars of our imprisonment; reaching out for freedom. Here is a man whom no misfortune can cast down. I know how to abound and to be in want. am equal to all occa- sions. He is not an inhabitant of Utopia rolling in wealth, with palaces on Fifth, avenue and yachts on the sea: but in jail, chained to a brutal soldier. facing hostile world But he had found some strange adjust due sense of proportion, had added eternity to time and then divided: had entered into the will of God. had culti- vated his imagination, emphasized the things of/first importance, things true and just, honest, lovely and all things of good renort, has developed a thank fuI spirit, and by prayer kept himself in communication with the unseen world overhead. He was content. No b1udgeons of fate could reach a man like that.
 Yes, he lived in an age of unrest. Nero was on the throne mad society was a moral chaos. Nevertheless he was rich in resources, was in mastery of the situation; we will do well to learn his secret.
 We know this strange disease of dis content in ourselves or in others. We need only lift up our eyes. The fields of discontent are white to the har- vest. Our age is an object lesson. The orgy of war is followed by an orgy of discontent. We have a world agony of unrest. a veritable epoch of dis peace. The human race is astir. Continents are in a ferment, content ment is nowhere.
 Discomfort is racial. a ubiquitous universal '-etinct. All racial migra- lions are ,1ptoms instigated by this spirit ra"ial movements toward hetteraa ditioos have behind them this dv' force called discontent.

trial idealism will be failure when
 worked by material idealists. Spiritual
 idealism alone will work.
 And yet in our own present world
 unrest, it IS no time for despair or for pessimism, or for paralysis of ef-
 fort. It is in fact the trumpet call to
 faith. It is the age for heroic souls,
 the epoch for great life; for the en-
 actment of new IIiads, for great ad-
 venture. A Stagnant world beca1m- ed, stupefied with lethargy is a poor
 world to live in. A time this is for the
 chivalic adventurous spirit the time to go out-conquer something.
 Then. there is the discontenrnaent in our personal life. We are a dissatis-5 fed folk. We are not at peace with ourselves or with others. We are hard to live with; to do business with, to work with, to even worship with. Our environment is too pinehed and circumseribed. We are caged in the soft plush of comfort. We are not getting a fair chance to stretch our wings we think. Life 8 tangle-the world is hostile to gratifed ambition. But have we no resources? No power to conquer the best of all successes? ? No chance to capture all the fine fn- tegrities and to grow a fine personal ity, no faith to live with the eternal verities, no Imagination to paint a picture. of fafrest beauty, no power to | see visions and dream dreams. no i hope of attaining to worlds whose glory never fades? Garrets or palaces are not determinative. This man was 1 in prison and yet he had the universe as his servator. He had been through all the schools of trial and yet was exultant and rapturouS.
 We can easily speak a redeeming word for this word 6fScnTefdT,f / A source of trouble it is but the source of all progress. If we are wide awake we will be diseontented. Discontent- ed men have made some of the best history. The Mayfiower brought over discontented people. our Revolution ary patriots were discontented men. It f was discontent that created a guild of | pioneers to stretch a solid mass of eommonweaIths between the Atlantic and Pacific. All the ages of chivaIry were inaugurated by the discontented. ! And all moral and spiritual advances ! has been conquered lby those who would not stay in their tame settings. Show me self satisfied man and will show you stagnant, useless
 man. And so of the eternal future. | We shall be on an eternal march, iured by the greater things to be l achieved so that we .n1ay we'll be con- tent with our discontentment, where l it is a passion for the highest and the ] best and the enduring.
