NEW BRlTAINpS
 FAME SPREADING
City Now Has Record for Large Bible CIaSs--U Unemployment Com.

The fame of the Everyman's Bible class, New Britain's big -denom- nation bible class, has begun to spread to surrounding towns and cities. In the course of an address in the Methodist church last evening, Yakuta Munakuchi, prominent Jap anese lecturer, made the statement that he had heard of this class on his travels and asked that somebody get in touch with officers of the class and invite him to come back and ad- dress the members some time. This probably will be done.
 At the meeting yesterday morning 256 men were present. It is predicted that had it not been raining severely at the opening of the meeting there would have been at least 300. Among the membership are found men rep resenting every protestant religious denomination in the city and some de- nominations not found in New Britain. Officers of several local church are taking an active interest in the class as are Mayor O. F. Curtis, City Clerk Col. Alfred Thompson and other prominent city officials.
 Following the resignation of A. G.. Sindel, R. B. Britton was elected song leader. It was voted to have a business meeting and social at the Y. NJ. c. A., on January z. At this time there will be number of interesting contests between the members of the opposing armies, the Blues and the Reds A committee to take up the question of unemployment among the members and see what could be done towards providing the needy with work was appointed to consist of w. w. Leland and A. A. Mills.
 Rev. John l.. Davis, leader of the class, took as his subject, "EVeryman's tra,Icn Of Eden" He told how the Ga ,dcn of Eden has at various times been discovered in Egypt, Armenia, Palestine, on the banks of the Euphrates, at the North Pole, in Africa, in Louisiana and in Adams County. Ohio. In the latter place 1t is said there is a mound in a ceme- tery where the serpent is thought to be buried.
 He compared the average life with life in the garden with the first fam iIy. As long as Adam did right he got along without difficulty but as soon as he dsobeyed the divine com mand he found himself in trouble. "Ingratitude is as universal in the world today as it was in the garden then" he said.

"OH, FRENCHY" AT LYCEUM

A musical revue that makes one feel the more the holiday joy opened today at the Lyeeum. It Is "Oh! Frenchy", and 1t presents big beauty chorus. There is sixty minutes pack ed full of amusement, and those two clever funmakers, George Rubin and Al Curtis, take the lead.
 One of the most striking pictures of the season is "A Mans Home," which opened yesterday and will be seen for the first half of the week. It is charged with powerful dramatic strokes, and so intrigues the inagina- tion through its clash of dramatic events that the spectator forgets time and environment and becomes associated with the characters of the story.
 Other short feature subjects are offered. Don't forget to be present to- morrow night at the surprise party. Six valuable prizes will be given away. And contest for amateur talent is also being planned. Ask about it.

 It was like Turkey Proudfoot not to thank his cousin. And it was like him, too, to fly into rage.

 q heard a whirring sound,' said Turkey Proudfoot, but l didn't know what it was.'
 Great snakes," cried MT. Grouse. Farmer Green ought not to let you come into the Woods-not if he eN- poets you to spend Thanksgiving Day with him."
 Tommy Fox chuckled at that re- mark.
 But Turkey Proudfoot never let on that he heard it. He creuched lower upon the limb of the oak tree, and pretended to fall asleep. Daylight was fast fading.

It rejects Chile's plan and urges instead that the dispute be arbitrated by the United States (the Peruvian rejection and counter proposal were announced in a Lima dispatch). Foreign Minister Barros Japa commenting on the reply said to the correspondent:
 The Peruvian note emphasizes the alleged expulsion (from Tacna and Arica) of Peguvians. We declare, if this Is true these can return without difficulties. Chile grants Peru all the guarantees she may require to insure the fairness of the plebiscite but we will not allow attempts by Peru to ig- nore the terms of the treaty, which solemnly binds the faith Of both na- tions, or to mislead the world re- garding our purposes by proposing arbitration by the United States on the results of the war liquidated through the treaty of 1883.
