dsned Condorcet to the guillotine in

sukhed scholar and secretary Of the
French Academy might never have
/, reached the scaffold If he had not taken

The closing days Of the terror.
II is curious that standard historical
Dources in French append no title Of
nobility to Condorcet's name. while
English works do. The French, how
ever, attach the particle to his name.
He was of gentle birth.
a Condorcet was the brother in law of
Marshal de Grouchy, who is execrated

at Waterloo, where Napoleon awaited
him in vain. r. p. HENRY.

pever been positively determined by the
historians, some attributing it to apo.
plexy, some to exhaustion and others to

is 1T ROCHESTER?


II is interesting that one of the
most prominent of northern cities
should have derived its name from
a gentleman of the south.
Probably all OF the American
Rochesters are descended from
Nicholas Rochester, a native of
Kent county. England. who settled
in Virginia in 1859. His son, VIII
liam Rochester, who was born in
Kent, England in 1850. married in
this country Frances Mckinney,
widow Of William Mckinney. Their
son. John Rochester, of Westmore-
land county Virginia, was born in
l7OS. His wife was Hester Shrift.
Of Richmond, Virginia. They were
the parents of Nathaniel Rochester.
founder of the city in New York
State that bears his name.
When Nathaniel Rochester was
two years old his father died and
az seven his mother had married
again. whereupon the family remov-
"a TO North Carolina. Nathaniel
Rochester became prominent in af-
fairs in that State as young man
and was colonial deputy OF north
Carolina in 1875. He was a presi-
Dental elector for James Madison.
He married Sophia Beatty, of Hag-
erstown Nd, and there his children
we're born. He bought some props
erty in New York State in and
around where Rochester now stands
and made his first visit there in
1900. The town was then called
Falls Town. He removed his family
thither from Hagerstown in 1918.
He was instrumental in the found o.
ing of the new city and It was named
for him. He was presidential
elector again for James Monroe.
His son, Thomas Hart Rochester.
born In Hagerstown, Md, married
Phoebe Elizabeth Cunning. an Of
ficer OF English Dragons in the
Revolution and their son. John
Henry. born I'm Rochester. 1928. mar

Discouragement is an inclination
to give up all attempts after the de-
vout life, in consequence Of the diff
hculties by which it is beset. and our
already numerous failures in IT, We
lose heart; and partly in ill-temper.
partly in real doubt Of our own abil-
ity to persevere. we first grow quer-
ulous and peevisk with God. and
then relax In our efforts to mortify
ourselves and TO please Him. It is
a sort of shadow OF despair and will
lead us into numberlass venial sins
for the first half-hour we give way
to Il. F. W. Faber.
Never let us be discouraged with
ourselves; It is not when we are
conscious of our faults that we are
the most wicked; on the contrary,
we are less So We see by a brighter
light; and let us remember, for our
consolation. that we never perceive
our sins stlll we begin to cure them.

FAMOUS HISTORICAL /: DANCE IN TROUBLE Salome Comes Back and Shocks Methodist
 Camp Meeting

Who authorized the Oriental dance at the Epworth League conference on the Methodist camp grounds Satur- day night? This is what members of the organization want to know. In- cidentally it is what shocked many spectators on the large camp meet ing pavilion on the Plainville grounds.
 It was stunt night" Every group in the New Haven district. which ex- tends all over this section of the state, was expected to put on some sort of an original stunt. But the stunts were expected to be consistent with a religious atmosphere.
 The first group to appear before the footlights represented the South Park Methodist church, of Hartford. It was burlesque on the scene in the court of an ancient king. The king wanted to be amused. His tastes, however seemed to be almost as va riable as some of the Old Testament rulers. He demanded the fat lady, then the skinny lady. Then he had male comedian who cracked some jokes which would have seemed rath- CT raw even in a modern vaude- vile theater. The audience gasped in a shocked manner, but nothing was said. Chairman Harry Newport of Torrineton. sat up straight and lock- ed pained, but the offense was not repeated.
 But the king demanded as climax, Salome. Salome in regimental regalia appeared and gave her famous dance, even as in the days when she charm ed the ancient kings, accompanied by vocal representations of weird orien- tai music. It was too much! Rev. John L. Davis, the only minister pres- ent. stood 1t as long as his conscience permitted and then spoke to MT. Newport Now it Is rumored plan is on foot to censor all future "stunts
