' (INCORPORATED) THE TOWN PUMP YALE MISSIONARIES LOST. Rev.- W. D. Senliury lind Rev. A. S. Mann Droniied in China, The sad news was received here yes terday by Anson Phelps Stokes, secre tary of Yale university, regarding the death of the Rev. Warren B. Seabury of the class of 1900 and the Rev. 'Ar thur S. Mann, of the clas of 1899. Par ticulars of the deaths came by cable and were of course meagre in their de tails. It is the story of one man giv ing up his life in an attempt to save his companion. The incident occurred at the mission station, Kuling, in Chi na, and the man lost his life in trying to save Seabury from a watery grave. Kuling, where those two young men met their death, is a hill station, visit ed by many missionaries during the summer months. Seabury is the second member of the Yale mission station to lose his life, the first missionary, Rev. Lawrence Thurston, having died from tuberculosis on iMay 11, 1904. The Rev. Harlan P. Beach, professor of missions at Yale university, is now at Kuling, together with Messrs. Hume and Gage of the mission station. Dr. Orvllle Schell, a graduate of the Sheffield Scientific , school and of John Hopkins Medical school, will leave for the field in a few weeks. Seabury was connected with the Yalo mission college at Changsha, China, He was a son of the Rev. Joseph B. Seabury of Wellesley Hills, Mass., w,ts a graduate of Hartford theological seminary, and held a master of arts degree from Yale. Mr. Mann is a son of Dr. 'Matthew D. Mann, a well known physician of Buf falo, N. Y. He was a graduate of the general theological seminary, New York, and connected with St. John's college at Shanghai. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Ever You I Regular Now 15.50 11.00 11.70 8.50 10.00 7.50 8.50 5.90 6.50 4.50 4.50 2.50 2.50 1.65 ONLY THE DOLLAR GOES NO DIME INSTITUTIONS New Haven Bankers Are Not at All Favorable to Them. "la there a need of a dime savings bank in New Haven?" was the ques tion put to officials of savings banks in the city yesterday. The success of certain banks in the west which base their policy on start ing accounts as small as ten cents led to the query why the working people of New Haven were not given the same privilege. On the other hand, none of the New Haven banks will start an account less than one dollar, and the New Haven savings people volunteered that depos its less than one dollar were not ac ceptable, the reason assigned being that they were not worth the time and trou ble. Moreover, comparatively few ac counts are started -with as small a sum as the one silver wheel. The same rule prevails at the Na tional Savings bank, but deposits on accounts have been taken there as small as fifty cents, although this fact is not advertised. As Treasurer Julius Twiss explained, a dime account would not pay for the cost of stationery used in keeping track of the same, and in every way the value of such a small account would recom mend it to none but school savings banks, such as have been established to encourage the saving of children's pennies. There are five dime savings banks In the state of Connecticut, the most im portant two located at Waterbury and Hartford, but these, according to Mr, Twiss, are such only in name, as they require the first deposit to be at least one dollar. , In fact, the trial of the dime savings idea has failed in many instances, the bank either going to the wall or adopting the one-dollar-down- rule. The practice in certain sections of the country has succeeded, however, and might win in New Haven as the home of many factory worker?, and small wage earners. -' Since the establishment of the first savings bank in England, early as 1799, the growth of the institution has been remarkable, spreading rapidly through the cities and towns of the United States. Many and varied have been the devices to secure the small savings. Beginning with the little toy bank in which the. boy put his pennies and shook them out when circus came to t.own, there has developed what seems to be the best method of encouraging thrift in money matters that of the nickel-plated bank which the savings bank gives to depositors to keep as long as the aceount'remalns. No longer con the pennies or dimes be lured out, when once in, except by the key of the cashier at the bank, and when five dollars have been stuffed down the greedy mouth of the bank it Is ready to be emptied. This plan does away with the neces sity of a man or child going down to the bank to save his slippery dimes, it keeps the Industrious youth busy at pil ing up a little rainy-day money, and is the strongest argument against the es tablishment of the dime savings insti tuton.

CAMP MEETING EVENTS Annual Meeting of Association To-day for Elec tion of Officers Children's Hour Changed Prom 8:30 to 9 O'clock. (Special to The Journal and Courier.) Camp Grounds, Plainville, Conn., July 30. Each train that , arrives at Plainville brings some camp meeting) people and all ' day up; the hills, over the dusty roads go the carriages which are always in waiting, with some new comers, and some who come and go each day. The camp grounds are de lightfully situated and arranged and the program for each day is full of interest, an its no wonder the enthu siasm is great. . .. This morning at the Children's hour talk the subject was "God Providing a Home or the Home Beautiful," and the story was the story of Heaven,, Before the story for the day is start ed, there are ten minutes devoted to supplemental work on Bible geography. To-day the children drew a map of Palestine, making the outlines of the country itself, the placing of mountains, rivers, and some particular point of interest (to-day it. was the river Jor dan) being done with the singing of a song each line of the verses telling of some part of the map-which should be drawn. This portion of the hour is directed by Mrs. L., E Clemens of Hartford. After this the continuation of Mrs. Embury's series, "God the Loving Fa ther Providing for His Children," was AUDITORIUM Where General taken up. The story was built from verses selected from the, 21st and 22nd John's vision of Heave. . , To-day's story was of a little boy whose sister was dying and the little' fellow having heard that there was a tree of life In God's garden one leaf of which would give life made up his mind to get ft leaf at. any cost. ' But he was told that the tree was guarded by a strong angel at the very gate of Heaven, still Tie desired the leaf and after over the rock hills and thorny paths he reached the gatewat sunset and pleaded1 for a leaf. The angel told him "the King has sent my brother, the angel of death to bring your sis ter to heaven. 1 Only those can go into the garden for whom God, the King, hath sent and he has not called for you. But If I give you a leaf from the tree of life will you promise that your sister shall never suffer any more, neii ver be unhappy?" "That would be lm pisslble," answered the boy, "and the angel opens the gate and shows the boy the City Beautiful with God in the midst of his angels and after look ing he said to the angel at the gate: "I will not ask for the leaf, there is no place so beautiful as Heaven. I want to be ready tojoin my sister there." After the story the children were questioned, 8 by step, and from their answers which reviewed the story the application was drawn. "Blessed' are they that wash their robes that they may have the right to come to the treo of life and may enter in by the gates of the city." The litte peope isten to Mrs. Em bury's stories with the most intense interest and their answers to the ques tions show how deeply every word goes into their hearts. Nothing of sadness Impressed any face in her audience this morning, only the sweet and beau tiful side of her story entered into their conception of it. Each morning the class song, 'Til be a Sunbeam," is sung by all. The children who attend afr this hour are called the Sunshine Band and the class motto is repeated at the close of the hour before they go out, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and ANDREW ROSS RESIGNS. Official in Charge ot Union Station Leaves Service Here. Andrew Ross, assistant superinten dent of the New York division of the New Haven road, who has his head quarters in this cltj', and is in charge of Union station and the rest of the terminal here, has resigned. Queries submitted to the railroad officials met with no denial of the reports, and it is accepted as a fact among railroad operators generally. Mr. Ross, who has lived on Fourth street for some time past, came to New Haven as assistant superintend ent of the New York division about two years ago, and was the first man to take charge of the New Haven ter minal under that title. There have v,o.n frannpnt changes In this office in the past five years. Many reasons are . given by, railroad men for. the retire-j mcnt of Mr. Ross. One report says . that it has something to do with the : sudden withdrawal of Robert Black- all, formerly night -yardmaster at Wal ter street. . . ' .. . tmKtMtf i'l I 4' ft- II n glorify your Father which is in Heav en." Miss Jessie Holt' lead the singing this morning and assisted with the ex ercises. At 10:00 Rev. W. B. Scofield gave hia last address, "The (Path to a De finite Experience," He spoke of salva tion through Faith and particularly no ted how much true faith has to do with the entire bent of man's existence and how great the lack of Jt is. At 1:30 a meeting was held In the Southington for the exchange of per I sonal spiritual experiences, j There were prayer meetings held in I two or three of the cottages just be j fore the afternoon sermon and at 2:30 the ringing of the auditorium bell brought a big audience Into the build ing for the afternoon sermon. After the usual introductory services which included a very fervent prayer made by Dr. McNicholl, the sermon was preached by Rev. I. A. Marsland, these two clergymen exchanging their hours of preaching so that the sermon at 7:30 was preached by Mr. McNicholl. Mr. Marsland's text was taken from teh Acts of the Apostles, 24th chapter and 16th verse: "Herein do I exercise mysef to have a conscience void of of fence toward God and men always," this being a portion of Paul's address to Felix, after having been accused of many crimes, in so beautiful a way as to vindicate himself. Mr. Marsland's AT PLAIVINLLE, Services Are Held. sermon was one which every one can apply to his own life with the absolute certainty that Jt is positively necessary If he desires: to serve God, and be a good christian. He said' for one thing, no matter how well men think of us the man who' iscloseted' with himself and found guilty by his own conscience, and the conscience must accuse, knows that . he bs bea weighed in the bal ance and found wanting. Another thing was very forcibly brought to notice, that the conscience that would pre serve its sweetness and purity must be an active conscience. Young people's meeting was held at :B0 and at 7:80 Rev. Wm. McNicholl of Naugatuck, had charge of the meet ing and preached the sermon. His sermons are alwavs verv much erHnvo 'and the subjects well chosen. At children s hour to-morrow which will be changed to 9 o'clock, the sub ject will be the "Guide-book," and the "Story of the Bible." At 10:00 Rev. E. A. Dent of Hartford, will give the first of his series of ad dresses on "Prayer," using as a found ation for his talks, "The Lord's Prayer." To-morrow's subject will be "Our Fa ther." At one o'olock to-morrow the an nual meeting of the Methodist camp meeting association will be held for the election of offteers and whatever other business may come up. The afternoon sermon will be preach ed by Rev. W. H. Kidd and at 7:30 the Rev. L. M. Lounsbury will have charge of the service and will preach the even ing sermon. Bishop D. A. Goodseil of Brookline, Mass., will preach on Thursday and' it Is expected the attendance will be lar ger than at any meeting thus far. The number of people coming to the camp meettng Increases every day and if the weather hold ood dt gives promise of being one of the most successful we've held. A regular attendant at each meeting is the Rev. Isaac Sanford of Midnle fleld, who is 92 years old. Mr. Sanforct Is an old camp meeting preacher and has attended the services every season for many years. DEER RELEASED. Leaves East Rock on Hnn for North Haven Meadows. Under the direction of John M.

There are different ways of catching a woodchuck, but lt is likely that a party of New Londoners devised the most unique way at Mimford's Cove on Sunday. -Marcenus E. Williams had the party out In his sailboat and sev eral of them were in a skiff paddling along the shores of the cove with nets, looking for crabs. The attention of one of the party was attracted to a small animal swimming in the water just ahead of the boat, and, pushing the boat along a little faster, the ani mal was overtaken. It was a wood chuck. The crab net was used as a scoop and Mr. Woodchuck was landed In thft hnat where he was erabbed bv an eel pot. The animal was taken t ? Mr. Williams' home and will be dome.1' ticated. tion Safe
