KEV. MR. SANFORD COMING TO ST. GEORGE'S PARISH He Has Served in Pnlpits in Far West and Has Done Good Work in Eastern Churches. The Rev. F. R. Sanford of Christ church, Guilford, Conn., will come to Bridgepjort to take charge of the par ish of t. George's in the West End, May 2. j Once before St. George's ex tended a call to Mr. Sanford, at the time of Rev. G. A. Robson's resigna tion, but he was unable at that time to accept the charge owing to ill health. Mr. Sanford comes of an old. Connec ticut family, being the ninth, in direct descent of one of the original founders and proprietors of Milford, Thomas Sanford. He was born in Waterbury. His secula.r education he receive! at Yale: his theological training at Berk eley Divinity School, Middletown, un der Bishop Williams. After his ordination as deacon by Bishop Williams, he tock the curacy of St. Pauls church, Norwalk. This position he resigned after ordination to the priesthood, to accept the rector ship of St. James' church, Westville, New Haven. While holding this lat ter charge he married Miss Fanny W. Bailey, of Norwalk. For three years Mr. Sanford held the curacy of St. James'; and then was called to the rectorship of St. John's, Warehouse Point. In ithe winter of 1888 he was forced, through ill health, to resign St. John's. He Journeyed to Southern California and there sought to recuper ate his health. The invigorating cli mate restoring his strength, he began mission work in Ventura county, Cal., and In the city of San Buena Ventura established a mission which has since grown into the parish of St. Paul's. With health and strength fully re stored, Mr. Sanford next accepted the call of St. Peter's church, Oarson City, Nevada. By the missionary district of Nevada, and- Utah he was appoint ed and sent as clerical deputy to the General Convention in 1889. Wishing to return to the East, near er his home, Mr. Sanford now resigned-, after a labor of three years, his wtrk in Nevada, andi accepted the rectorship of St. Matthew's church, Bloomington, IH. In 1893 an opportunity to return to Connecticut was offered him by the call of St. Peter's church. Riverside. This he accepted and held until 18A8; when a 'bigger work In a larger field offering itself in the call of Grace church, New Haven. Mr. Sanford again moved; and labored in his new field for nearly five years, doing good work, clearing off a heavy Indebtedness from the church, establishing a vested choir. and1 instituting other improvements. After five years, needing rest, Mr. Sanford resigned! his charge of Grace church, and while recuperating, took charge of the Lynne Missions. In 1904 j l j Jin' ct out irom cl. jonn cnurcji. North Haven, which was accepted. In 1906 Mr. Sanford received a hard blow in the sudden death of his wife. A few months after her death he accept ed his present incumbency, Christ church, Guilford. It will be seen from the foregoing that Rev. F. R. Sanford does not come to Sit. George's without experience which fits him for the work of building up St. George's parish.

The Ml making the term of office of town clerk four years instead of two was rejected in the House to-day. INTERFERED WITH AMBULANCE SURGEON The wisdom of appointing the chauf feur of the auto-ambulance a special policeman was demonstrated yesterday when the ambulance with Dr. Krause in charge was called to the home of Mary Dempsey, 17 years o'd, 461 Fop ar street, where the girl had taken car bolic acid with suicidal intent. The mother of the girl, the neighbors an 3 friends, frantic with grief at the mad act of the girl and also excited beyo.ii all control, seriously interfered with the work of the surgeon and almost defeated his efforts to save the life of his charge. Several timas the surgeon was oblig ed to fight off the crowd and cmt.nue his work of resucitation at the same time. It was necessary at times to threaten to make arrests, but this course was not employed because the surgeon understbod that the people were exe'ted and reallv did not know what they were doing. The mother was held by two men who had all they could do to keep her from interfering. The case was one which called for strenuous action. But as the result of the work of Dr. Krause the g'rl will probably recover. In the future per sons who interfere with the surgeon in his work will be arrested.
