The Bev, M. II. Honithton Clamors
for Religions Freedom He Talks
About a Hew Church Called the
American Charcb A Characteristic
Sermon.
Union armory was stirred to its very
depths yesterday afternoon by the eloquence
of the Bev. M. H. Houghton, who preached
in the drill room to an audience of about 200
persons. The preacher's clarion tones re
sounded throughout the building, waking
the echoes in the rafters and setting the flags
that remain from last winter's carnivals all
fluttering. Mr. Houghton was in his best
humor and preached a thoroughly charac
teristic sermon. He has lost none of his old-
time power. None of that originality of view
and quaintness of expression, none of that
depth of thought and breadth of candor
which has made him famous, are wanting in
the sermons which he is now delivering on
Sunday afternoon to the Second regiment.
"I propose to speak to yon this afternoon,"
said the reverend gentleman after thanking
his auditors for their generous presence and
speaking of the members of the regiment
who were "supposed to be present," "on the
greatest question of modem times, religious
freedom, or liberty of conscience, The text
you will find in the thirty-second verse of the
eighth chapter of the gospel of John, 'And
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make yon free.' Now the truth is the truth
contained in the holy book. . It would seem
that we had lived long enough to be rid of
slavery, but we are not. If you go np to the
First Methodist church you will find that
they build a little wall around themselves
and no one can get in nnless a presented
faith is acceptable to him. Why,
even in the Church of the Messiah where I
used to preach some of the old deacons are
as close and narrow-minded as any old fogy
of a Presbyterian deacon. I tell you these
things are all wrong, and don't you forget
that. The time is coming when all men will
be given religions freedom. And until every
man, woman or child can say what he please
and believe as he pleases without losing
caste among the church members, or being
looked down upon, I tell you there is no such
thine as religious freedom. Ana men are be
ginning to feel the truth of what I say. Men
in the churches are really daring to take a
little liberty. Even some of the good old
deacons nibble off a corner of the creed here
and there, and round it off to suit themselves.
Some of the ministers in this place are not
considered quite sound because they are tak
ing a little religious freedom.
"But a new church is to be formed. The
last church has not -sprang up yet. Yes.
thank God, the new .church is coming and it
will be founded on the freedom of conscience.
And I should call that church the American
church. It will be run on the American
idea of perfect freedom to all. A man should
be able to say-what he wants to provided he
don't interfere with every other lean's liber
ty or impede his progress.
"Why, I'll tell you how they do up in these
churches. They let a man stay out in the
world till he becomes good and then they
take him in. If he should happen to get
bad, they fire him ont into the world again
and let him stay there. Then when he be
comes good they take him in again. And he
can't go in at aU if he should say, 'I don't
believe in the Trinity, or in the total de
pravity of the race' or if he says 'I
never could swallow the miracles." It re
minds one of what a minister once said at a
funeral of a man who had lived an honest
life, paid his debts and never cheated his
customers, but had never joined the church
or been baptized or anything of that sort. So
the good man was terribly puzzled as
to what to say. He couldn't send
him up to heaven, because that
wouldn't do at all. . Nor could he
send him down to hell, because the man had
been a good one. So after scratching his
head and thinking a while he said: 'I don't
know what to do with yon so I guess I'll
mark yon C. O. D. and let yon go.'
"And this new church must give more
freedom to its members. We are on this
perfectly gorgeous world to make the most of
it. We imiht be as happy as we can and en
joy ourselves all we can in any pleasure that
is not incompatible with our mental and
moral unfolding. I saw a report of a sermon
preached by a minister in this town in which
the man said, 'I would rather see my daugh
ter dead than see her enjoying the social
dance.' I don't know whether the preacher
used that language or not, but I see my
friend the reporter here and he looks honest.
"Oh, my friends, let us throw off all these
shackles that have bound us so long and be
free. Let us hail with great joy the arising
of a new church which shall give every man
that religious freedom which he ought to
have and which the good book says he will
have when he finds the truth. And may
God soon raise np a prophet who shall found
such a new church."

The World of Melbourne, Australia, in
speaking of Louise Pomeroy, who will ap

says: Miss Louise Pomeroy commenced a
short season at the Royal on Saturday even
ing, when Boncicanlt's adaptation of "La
Tentation," entitled "Led Astray," was pre
sented. Miss Pomeroy's Armande is a per
fect performance. She looks the character
admirably, and her every motion is thor
oughly expressive of perception of the author's
meaning. No point was missed which would
add to the complete satisfaction of the criti
cal, and the artiste was deservedly called
upon . to bow her acknowledgments upon
many occasions. " ,
Ieetnre ToOHght at the Atheneum.
This Monday evening at the Atheneum
Bev. A. J. Palmer, M. A., will deliver his
celebrated lecture "Company D, or the Die-no-mores,"
the true story of Fort Wagner.
Mr. Palmer was the youngest man who en
listed in the Union army, being only four
teen years and six months'old at the time of
his enlistment. He enlisted in a Connec
ticut regiment, and was in Fort Wagner at
the time of its capture. He is one of the
most eloquent orators in this country, and all
who have heard his thrilling lecture on the
capture of Fort Wagner are loud in its
praise. Wherever the lecture has been de
livered it has produced a lasting impression,
and added to the fame of its gifted author.
At a gathering at Ocean Grove a few years
since Mr. Palmer was chosen to make an ad
dress. Among the numbers present was Gen
eral Grant. So powerful and graphic were
the utterances of the speaker that the multi
tude were swayed by his eloquence. Gener
al Grant was requested to respond, but that
gentleman was completely overcome by the
vivid, and burning words of the speaker, and
could not . reply. . To-night the Atheneum
should be crowded and doubtless will be.

CHURCH NOTES.
Jottings From City Fulpltar-Duty of
Earnestness In Christians Eneonr
agement to the Tempted Other Sug
gestive Discourses Yesterday.
A powerful discourse was delivered at the
Humphrey street Congregational church yes
terday morning by the pastor Bev. Mr. Bray.
It was an earnest appeal for high spiritual liv
ing and decided work in the Lord's vineyard.
The church of Christ suffered when apathy
prevailed among Christians and what spirit
and inspiration is given the work when this
apathy gives place to earnest zeal. . The
apathetic, lifeless Christian may well be
compared to a dead tree still possessed of its
limbs and branches, but bearing no : fruit,
or may also be compared to a tree without
sap. which speedily withers. With
life in the church, with- earnest,
humble working Christians, self-denying and
devoted Christians, the ark of the Lord
moves onward and joy reigns in Christ's
kingdom. With this spirit animating all the
Christian churches what glorious work would
be achieved and what a grand movement
there would be along the lines against the
powers of darkness. In the evening the
Bev. Mr. Bray delivered a sermon full of
suggestiveness and wholesome moral lessons
upon the subject, "Before and after the bat
tle ; or, lessons from the recent political con
test." At Calvary Baptist church yesterday morn
ing the large congregation present were priv
ileged in hearing a discourse from Prof. E.
Benjamin Andrews of Brown university on
the subject, xne temptation or Jesus."
The sermon was full of words of encourage
ment to perseverance in well doing in the
face of difficulties, trials and dangers such as
human hemes are subject to, and tne exam
ple of the divine master, who was tried and
tempted in all points, yet without sin, was
finely portrayed!. The same preacher officiat
ed in the evening.
Rev. Father Russell at St. Patrick's church.
yesterday, spoke of the St. Patrick's fair now
in progress and made a brief but pungent ap
peal for a liberal patronage of the fair dur
ing tne remaining days.
Rev. Father Cooney, at St. John's church.
announced a concert to be given at St. John's
Hall, South street, on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings by the Me.fc.voy combina
tion, the object of which is to raise funds for
church purposes.
Crowded congregations, listened at ; the
United church yesterday morning ana even
ing to Rev. Ruen Thomas of Brookline,
Mass.. a eifted preacher. On the altar table
a vase of chrysanthemums of bright and
varied colors overflowed like a fountain into
shallow glass dishes on each side filled with
the same bright colored flowers, while from
the platform on each side of the table tall
clusters of the same flowers reached to the
height of the vase, one yellow, the other
white. The organ recital, tne antnem, tne
soprano solo and the singing of the well
chosen hymns were as usual aamiraoiy given.
Matthew xxiv 35, "Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my word shall not pass
away," was the text. These words of life
were spoken with the emphasis and clearness
which marked every syllable from the
speaker. The prayer, the reading of the
scripture lesson and the responsive readings,
like the sermon itself, were so simple, plain
and clear as to fix the attention of the
hearers. The permanence, certainty and per
petuity of true Christianity was the theme of
the discourse. Rev. Mr. Thomas preached in
the evening from JJaniel 4-SJS. Kev. JJr. Dex
ter, of Boston, and Rev. Drs. Barbour and
Todd, of this city, were present, also some who
have heard the speaker in his own church in
Brookline. Many stopped after tne sermon
to speak with him. The text was tne self-
gratulations of Nebuchadnezzar at his own
greatness m the great .Babylon ne nad Duiiaed.
A wonderfully vivid pen-picture was drawn
of that great city, seventy miles in length,'
two hundred square miles in extent, with
walls around it on both sides of the River
Euphrates three hundred feet in height,
and streets upon them eighty feet wide, be
sides palaces and hanging gardens. A most
impressive moral lesson was drawn from
God's dealing with this mighty prince
m his seven years or punishment.
The preacher showed that similar
lunacy afflicts persons at the present day who
at the same time have their senses and are
otherwise rational. ' When Nebuchadnezzar
looked up in prayer to the true God his
senses returned and he became well. . The
speaker showed forcibly that all vanity and
conceit and self-praise, no matter if well de
served, brings punishment and shame? while
if the glory be all given to God, a just and
eternal reward awaits him who achieves great
good to his fellow men and himself.
HOWAED AVENUE CHURCH.
At the Howard avenue church last evening
a special service was held which was attended
by the Urotherhood of .Locomotive rjigi-
neers. Addresses were made by the pastor
and E. B. Dillingham, of Hartford. The ser
vices were much enjoyed.
CENTENARY OF JTIKTHODISIff.
Interesting; Discourse fey Rev, Dr. J.
O. Peck The Growth of a Great
Protestant Denomination.
Rev. Dr. Peck, of the Trinity .Methodist
Episcopal church, delivered a very interest
ing discourse yesterday morning on the Cen
tenary of Methodism in the United States.
The basis of his remarks was Isaiah, 60th
chapter, 32d verse, "A little one shall become
a thousand, and a small one a strong nation;
I, the Lord, will hasten it in his time."
This magnificent prediction is the climax
of one of the great messianic chapters of
prophecy. This chapter of Isaiah, whose
lips were touched and made burningly elo
quent by a . live coal which a seraph flew
and caught from the altar of God and press
ed to the prophet's month, unfolds in un
surpassable majesty and triumph the glory
of the church of Jesus Christ in its culmi
nating splendors, its mighty advances and
its wonderful conquests. She marches into
a world of darkness with a great light; the
glory of God shining upon her. The be
nighted peoples of earth come to the light;
distant lands shall bow to the cross; they
shall pour ont their gold and burn their in
cense upon the altars of our God; wealth
power and dominion shall flow to the church;
conquest shall follow conquest; triumph shall
crowd on triumph; the Lord shall be her
everlasting light and thus the . "little one
shall become a thousand, and a small one a
strong nation."
This prophecy of the universal church of
God is proportionately true of any branch
of the church, in the measure
that that branch of the church ' fulfills the
purpose of the universal kingdom. And in
no division of the great army of the living
God, the church universal, has the sublime
prophecy of the text been more startlingly
and historically fulfilled than in that popu
lous denomination to which we are allied'
Methodism. "A little one shall become
thousand, and a small one a strong nation."
A few years ago Congregationalism celebra
ted on Plymouth Rock 250 years of history;
and' last week the Protestant Episcopal
church celebrated the centennial of the con
secration of her first bishop, both sects by
solemn services and eloquent eulogy com
memorating these epochs. This is the cen
tennial year of American Methodism. In a
few weeks we shall have completed the first
hundred years of organic life. It has been
commended to all churches to commemorate
the century of history. This is proper in it
self. Besides, there are many in our congre
gations who have not fully acquainted them
selves with our history and progress as a
church.
. The four names that represent the mighti
est moral and religious revolutions move
ments, epochs in the Christian centuries are
Paul, Luther, uaivin, wesiey. xneypiowea
human society with furrows so
deep that the centuries have not
effaced them. They organized move
ments for the elevation and religions en
franchisement of man that sweep through
time and history as great gulf streams whose
warm currents modify the conditions and de
velopments of all adjacent continents, .
The last of these great epochal men, Wes
ley, the gulf stream of wnose worg sweeps m
warm and widening currents through Ameri
can history, an influence warmer and wider
than mat ot any oxner raugiwus Bsnjciwo;
Wesley, the founder of Methodism and the
apostle of new evangelical zeal in all other
denominations, belongs in a special sense to
ns, as Abraham did to the Jews. He was
our father. A clergyman of the English
church, a graduate of Oxford university, pro
found in scholarship, wnn a gem us iur guy
ernment," says Macauley, "not inferior to
Richelieu," impelled by an unappeasable
hunger of soul to enjoy the saving grace of
God to which he was hitherto a stranger, as
were most of the communicants of all church
es in his day, he was converted one night
.... - - , 3 .1
after he had been an orcuuxieu uwnjTuuui
several years, and began at once his great life
work of calling sinners to repentance and
preaching "Ye must be born again." 1739 is
the date assigned as the birth of Methodism
in England. The condition of religion
in England which demanded that God should
raise up Wesley may be seen in these state
ments: Isaac Tavlor. a churchman, says the
r.iigiimi cnurcn was "an ecclesiastical system
under which the people of England had
lapsed into heathenism or a state hardly to
5
be distinguished from it," and that Metho
dism preserved from extinction tne lan
guishing non-conformity" (i. e. enure ties
other than the established church) "which
just at the time of the Methodist revival was
rapidly in course to be found nowhere but in
books." Isaac watts declares there was a
general decay of vital religion in the hearts
and uvea ot men," and exnorts "everyone to
use all possible efforts for the recovery of
dying religions in the world." Harrion
says: "Almost all vital religion is lost out of
the world." Arcnmsnop BeeKer said: "Uhns
tianity is ridiculed and railed at with very
little reserve." Bishop Butler wrote: "Chris
tianity is no longer a subject of inquiry,"
but a subject "for mirth and ridioule."
This was the decayed and dying state of
vital religion when Methodism burst sudden
ly into England as a divine force to restore
primitive piety to the languishing churches
of Christ.
- So repugnant was evangelical piety to the
reigning clergy that Wesley was shut
ont of the pulpits of his own church
and forced to take to the fields
and commons and graveyards to
preach to the people. Yet .Wesley, White
field and their coUborers moved on, undaunt
ed by persecution, mobs and obloquy, seeing
multitudes converted, dreaming not of the
purpose of God to lead on to the organiza
tion of Methodism as a separate church.
The movement spread with amazing rapid
ity over the British Isles and culminated in
the- Wesleyan church. In 1766, ten years be
fore the Declaration of Independence, was
the birth of Methodism in America. Among
the emigrants from Ireland in 1760 appear
two Methodists in New York city. . One a
local preacher, Philip Embury, the other
woman, Barbara Hick. This woman in 1766
went to Philip Embury and demanded that
he should preach to their old neighbors, the
Irish Wesleyans. She gathered four per
sons m .Embury's house on Jtsarrack street,
now Park Place, in New York, and there, to
an audience of five, the first Methodist ser
mon was preached, and at its close the first
class was formed. The services were then
held in a sail loft. - During the eighteen
years following scattered societies were
formed in several of the colonies, chiefly in
Philadelphia, Delaware, Maryland and Vir
ginia. In the city of Baltimore at Christmas
the Methodist Episcopal church was or
ganized by sixty preachers out of these
isolated churches under Bishop Coke, sent by
Wesley from England. At the conference
Francis Asbury was elected bishop and began
his heroic work, a work in which hardship,
heroism and indefatigable toil were never so
largely blended in any ecclesiastic m Amen-
ca. la the hundred years since that organiz
ation Methodism has multiplied and extended
her sway with a rapidity and solidity un
known in any other body of Christians since
the apostolic days.

tell the marvelous history which God has
written by his grace:

of Episcopalians, m brief to more than one
third of ail the Protestant Christians in the
United States.
In New England Methodism had no fair
chance. The communities for generations
had been preoccupied by other churches,
pre-eminently the Congregational. Here it
has had to contend against the prestige,
wealth, social influence, and traditions of a
denomination extending from Plymouth
Rock. Nevertheless it is constantly gaining
gronnd in JNew .England. Hut m the -West.
Northwest and South where she had an equal
opportunity in the development of new
States, she has passed to the front rank. In
some States, like Indiana and Iowa, Method
ism enrolls more communicants than all oth
er Protestant churches combined. Reckon
ing three adherents to each communicant, and
we have sixteen millions of the people of the
United btates under tne influence ox her pul
pits and Sabbath schools, or one-third of the
Protestant population ox tne nation
Surely this is a marvelous growth
and proves that heaven's blessiDg
has richly owned the precious work of a
century. And this is more remarkable in
the fact that Methodism has been the most
rigid and uncompromising in her demands
for a strict unworldly Christian life. She
has never drawn metnbers from other church
es because of her lax views or catering to
the unsanctified desires of half-hearted Chris-'
tians for social pleasures and amusements
that destroy the spirituality of pure religion.
She has lost thousands who have gone else
where to fand more liberty for their luke
warm and worldly indulgence in social
pleasures, she has never been a stepmother,
but a mother.
With the amazing growth in members has
come a corresponding growth in church edi
fices, educational institutions and literature.
One hundred years ago Methodism had
scarcely any churches thirty all told. To-day
thirty thousand. One hundred years ago no
educational institutions. To-day hfty-two col
leges, valued at eleven millions, besides over
one hundred seminaries ot learning tor nigh
er education.
The Baptists have forty-six colleges valued
at$10,300,000;Congregationalists,twenty-eight
colleges valued at s,uuu,uuu; frotestant
Episcopal, twelve colleges valued at $8,700,-
000: Presbyterians, forty-one colleges valued
at $7,000,000. We have expended more for
colleges and education than any other denom
ination. In general literature, the produce of the
Methodist book concern has been $35,000,
000; American Tract society, (N. Y.), $18,
000,000; Baptist Publishing board, $6,400,-
000; American Sible society, au,0W,000;
American Sunday school union, $a,aoo,000;
Presbyterian board, $5,a00,000; Congregation
al board, $3,100,000. Here is nothing of
glorification, but the historic record of a hun
dred years we are reviewing.
The speaker in conclusion treated the fol
lowing sub-topics in explanation of tne pnil
osophy of Methodism: 1st, it met the soul-
hunger of dying men and proclaimed free
and boundless mercy; 2d, it was a joyful re
ligion; dd, it utilized all men and women;
4th, it preached Christ, and its sole aim was
to bring souls to Christ; 5th, the mobility of
its forces and the itineracy made it a power.
CALK! CONTROL.
Serenity And Composure As Con
trasted With Testtnesa And Ebnl
lltions of Anger Sermon At the
First M. E. Chnrch.
Rev. Dr. Goodsell at the First M. E.
church preached a discourse last evening on
the subject: "Christian Help for Besetting
Sins Anger." The preacher with much
force and power treated the subject, giving
vivid and clear illustrations and inconcluding
holding up the gospel cure for the disease.
The preacher vividly pictured in a few, terse,
vigorous words the hold which the besetting
sin in question gains over its victims. Right
eous anger and indignation were to be distin
guished from sinful rage .and anger. The
victim of guilty ebullitions of anger should
be exceedingly careful not to confound these
with righteous indignation. The speaker
said he told the ladies yesterday at the
Bible readings of the case of a
man who fell into this error who
when an unwelcome communication was
made to him grew red in the face while his
eyes flashed fire and his mouth assumed a
tight, set. rigorous expression, buu tne an
gered man did not speak. Then one fearing
a storm about to Durst exciaimea sootmngiy,
"Don't get angry." To which the man replied:
"I am not angry, I am onlynrm." ft was in
this way that frail humanity mistakes guilty
qualities for innocent. Tne speak: er was of
the opinion that people disposed to anger
should avail themselves of friendly counsel
and help in the cure of the vice, but the
great radical cure was the grace of Uod.
Confession to God of wrong done in anger
should be supplemented by confession to
those whom we nave injured. Be
it even a little child - the confession
should be made.. A case was mentioned of
a gentleman who, enslaved by the vice in
question, helped to break his chains by tak
ing a short walk up stairs and down, if at
home, before answering, if fearful he was
about to explode in wratn. ne tnus aston
ished his family greatly one day. When
about to sit down to eat a vexing Question
came and he rusned up stairs and back be
fore answering. This gave him an interval
to calsa himself and had the desired effect.
The gifted speaker grandly closed his address
with a reference to a gentleman of wealth
and position and great usefulness who had
attained to calm Christian serenity through
the grace of God, so that he was like the
snow-capped high mountain serene at the
top while black and lightning-charged clouds
swirled and rolled beneath, :

ELECTION ECHOES.
The Rev. S. If. Bray Dlacusnes Poli
tics His Sermon Denreeatei the
Recent Campaign, Criticises Some
of the Independents, Especially the
Kev. Henry Ward Beecher, and Ad
vises the People to dive Cleveland
All Honor and Esteem Disappoint
ment In Store for Hoodlums and
Toughs.
The Rev. Spencer H. Bray feels that he
has been badly misrepresented in one of the
mferning newspapers and he devoted some
minutes to the work of setting himself - right
in his sermon last evening. After stating the
facts about the two recent sermons which were
misquoted, the reverend gentleman looked
at an innocent CouEna reporter who hadn't
been inside his church for three months, and
said, "If there is any reporter here to-night
I hope he will take down what I do say and
not what I do not say." Thus, incited, the re
porter wrote away for dear life amid the
indignant glances of those who sat near
him.
The texts were from Matthew 22-21 and
Romans 13-7. - The preacher said: "We
create kings in this country once in four
years. Our kings -are born of ballots, not of
royalty. It is a battle of ballots, not of bul
lets. Perhaps it comes too often, but I
don't believe it. Our fathers rho framed
the constitution were very wise men. The
safety of the country lies in the fact that the
people have it in their power to change the
administration once in four years. Our cam
paign educates young men and foreigners.
"Every Christian man and every minister
has a bounden duty to have' something to do
with the politics of the country. If an ad
ministration is good, and wise it must be be
cause Christian and moral men stand back of
it. Some men are too good to have anything
to do with politics. The place for. them is
in heaven. It is the duty of ministers to see
that polities shall be permeated with religion.
Ministers who do not vote are guilty of
neglect of duty. True, the pulpit is no place
for partisan politics. But there are moral
issues in every campaign that may be dis
cussed.
i'The past campaign was peculiar. At the
very outset some men withdrew themselves
from one party. I wish to say that, although
I did not agree with those men, it is a great
thing to have in any party men who are sen
sitive, and who will not vote for iiny bad
men, and the Republican party has reason to
congratulate itself that it had such men who
were keenly sensitive, honest and -upright.
This is a free country. Those men had a
right to do as they pleased. But
I must here pay my respects to a minority
who covered themselves with shame. It is a
shame for any man to stand up and pro
claim that a large part of our fathers and
husbands and brothers are immoral. 1 chal
lenge any man to produce the proof. They
actually defend their chosen candidate by
saying 50 per cent, of even the ministers were
in the same boat. -They ought to know that
every minister who steps outside the line of
propriety is made to step down and out at
once.
"Admit all that was charged against Mr,
Blaine and tell me what right has any man
to stand face to face with the rabble and
say, 'Gentlemen, you have kept out of office
the biggest liar in the United States!' Such
men had better read what Paul says about
love.
"Thanksgiving day is approaching and we
have some things to be thankful for. One
thing is that the dirtiest campaign ever
known is ended. We stand face to face with
the fact that Cleveland is elected. What of it.
The White House is the throne and the man
who occupies it is the king, made so by bal
lots. All honor to the place and the man who
occupies it. Mr. Cleveland succeeds a man
who has made the best president this country
ever had nnless we except Lincoln and Wash
ington. He is a perfect gentleman. May his
mantle of good sense and honest integrity
fall on his successor. Grover Cleveland is on
trial. We have nothing to do with his past,
The people have condoned his offences. Let
him have the confidence and prayers of the
people. Any man who talks slightingly of
him makes a mistake. A man who knows
him well says he is a perfect Cato in his
honesty.
"There are some elements in this country
that will be disappointed. The hoodlums
and toughs will be grieved at Cleveland'i
course. He will be a terror to evil-doers,
and will dare to do his duty. I think there
is no present danger to the business interests
of the country. We must remember that
there is an unseen hand guiding our
country."

ldence A lionely Campaign - Flag
Increase of Business fhe Annual
Quietude.
The shore residence of Mr. John C. Ander
son on Beach street, near the - Caleb S. Malt
by residence, is fast nearing completion. The
walls are roofed and the fancy tower which
adorns the southeast corner is about finished.
The interior work has been begun. The fin
ishing inside will be very superior. The best
materials both in brick and choice woods
have been used. The building . ia a very
handsome addition to the shore and is much
admired.
The fine Indian summer weather of the
past few days has been improved by many in
taking a drive along West Haven shore and
further down along the coast of the Sound.
The Blaine and Logan flag still waves in
front of the postoffice, a reminder now of
disappointed hopes and wasted red fire, but
West Haven Republicans say that if the
Democratic administration does not walk a
chalk mark in the next four years they will
go np Salt river immediately thereafter; 'also
that they cannot do serious mischief with a
Republican senate and with a plurality of
only 1,000 in a national contest staring
tnem in tne race and eyes.
The West Haven horse railroad continues
running its cars on the summer time table.
Usually half the cars are hauled off in the
latter part of October, but all the cars are
still running on summer time and will con
tinue to do so for the present. The increase
of population along the line of the road
gives the road a constantly increasing source
of business.
Mr. George R. Kelsey's health continues
improved, enabling him to walk and ride
out.
The sea wall built of stone along Beach
street in front or tne wnitiock. Uoodsell
Law, Galbraith, Tyler and other cottages is
nearly completed and makes a substantial
barrier for the waves to break against, and is
considered staunch enough to withstand the
severest storms.
The shore has returned to its annual de
serted appearance. The sound of revelry,
the noise ot .utniopean string-bands and bar
rel organs, rolling tenpins, hurdy-eurdvs.
brass bands, drum corps, multitudes of
shouting bathers, etc., the clinking of cham
pagne and beer glasses has given place to an
intense quiet only broken by the occasional
rattle of carriage wheels along the main drive
or of some farmer's cart passing.

Catarrh
Is undoubtedly caused by impure blood. Hence a
medicine which purines the blood removes the cause
of the disease and opens the way for a thorough
cure. This is exactly what Hood's Sarsaparilla
does, and it makes the cure complete by giving the
system health and strength and enabling it to throw
off the depressing effects of the disease.
Catarrh
Is permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Mr.
A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y., says: "Hood's Sarsapa
rilla has helped me more for catarrh and impure
blood than anything I ever used."
'I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for catarrh

May be breaking down your health. Be wise in
