—Oil the ears going (-• Hartford two
weeks ago, we entered into conversa
tion with two Salv ation Army officers,
both Knglish. They informed us they
had come from Webster, where they
had a “ station,” they also had another
at Houthbridge. They also said they
had a great desire lo organize a station
in Putnam. A station is the headquar
ters for the entire workers, or for each
department of work as in large cities.
Hartford has about u dozen stations,
each one devoted to a special service.
No drones are allowed, every memUr
of the army has some useful service to
perform. Only captains or other st.
I>crior officer is allowed to preach. Ik
ing asked what was the religious creed
adopted by the Army, the reply was
that of the Methodist. In c inversation
with the two officers, we found that 1
their religious view- were similar to
those heard in the Methodist churchts
in this country fifty or sixty years ago.
One of the officers’ address is "Knsign
Fred. \V. Seiler, Stale street, Hart
ford. Conn.” of whom any further in
formation can be had.
—After a great deal of discussion and
considerable anxiety, concerning their
city public w ater, the people of \\ illi
mantic have been informed, to quiet ;
their minds, that a sample of their wa
ter was sent to Middletown, to be ana
lyzed at the chemical laboratory of the
Stale Hoard of Health, and tile sub
stance or the chemist's report i^, that
the sample sent showed no e\ iderice ot
drainage contamination and i* a very !
satisfactory water for drinking purpos
es. He withheld the important ini r
mation that imperils the health of the
large body of people of that city, name
ly: that any hour of the twenty-fo. r
some of Hie many families living on j
the large surface area from which the
water i' drained to supply the city
its unpurilied domestic water, may
carelessly pollute it with disease germs
which might start a deadly epidemic,
that would spread widely. Money can- j
not offset against the danger to health
and life of a community.
_There are other places besides Put-1
nam where the people are endeavoring
to maintain Sunday as a rest day in
accordance with the feelings of the
great mass of the moral and religious
American people, irrespective of its
sacredness. Windsor closed down all
places of business last Sunday, so that
not even a cigar could be bought.
The committee, like our Civic I-eague,
did not undertake to deprive |>eople of
their privilege of getting their Sunday
newspapers, or interfering with the
drug stores, and such like, but the ma
king Sunday an open business day to
the annoyance of most of the resecta
ble people and as the State law intends
it shall be. But just as it turned out in
this city, those opposed to the object of
the movement of the \\ indsor com
mittee, determined to carry thing' to
the extreme and close dow n on eve-_
erything like sales, new supers,candies i
*e., which would make the commit- j
lee responsible for the unnecessary an- i
n vyance to the public, as has in Put- j
nam against the < lvic league. A for
eigner named Joe Viola, who wasom- ,
pel led to close hi- 'Sore - mday felt
indignant at w hat he regarded an out
rage, got a drugged pro-tc
ing candy on Siinday, wnerei.p-u
the drug stores dosed their - ■
days. This extreme action must ■ n.et
bv State law defining what it is per-j
missible to sell on Sunday or - .me oth
er plan The fact i~. this country ha,
got to meet the long-dreaded innova-1
tion of the -European Sabbath, and
conquer or be conquered—and the bat- j
tie is now on. j

• The Republican state Convention
which met at New Haven on Wednes
day. was a various harmonious body, |
cinsidering the ill feelings that had
I>een expressed lielwecn the friends of
I. lev and l.ake. On the tirst ballot
t r vote for l.illey was 4irj, l.ake lie,
Wood mil' 1-. This was so decisive |
that all feelings of Snimosity gave way ,
t i eoriiial acquiescence on the part of j
friends of Mr. l.ake and (Jovtrnnr
Woodrufl—these latter taking an early
occasion to congratulate Mr. l.illey on
his decisive victory. The talk of en
deavoring to defeat Mr. l.illey, if no
minated. is also silenced, as such an
u iw ise step would only hurt those who
undertake it. The best way now is to
take hold with “A long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull all together.”
_Sunnyside street, when laid out
a* planned and soon to be worked, will
be one of the lovely residential streets
of the city. The work of improv ini? it
has long been delayed owing to the
litigation over the proposed layout of
Woodstock avenue and other causes.
It has been staked out, preparatory to
curbing and grading, for a distance of
about sou feet. Twenty years ago, there
w as hardly a clean, attractive street or
even a part a of street, with the exceje
lion of that part of Church street, oc
casionally designated “Beacon Hill,"
which has always been a beautiful
ijuarter, its location being unsurpassed,
and with its tine mansions, located
on spacious grounds, can hardly bees- j
celled, especially since the few blem
ishes were remov ed a few years ago.
The city bad beautiful locations, but
were marred and lacked attractiveness
until the residents decided that wooden
fences of all and no styles, *■ must go."
With their going beautifying kept in
i creasing, and Ijcearne infectious, until
every |sirt or the city began to be traus
f..n!5«d and beautified. There are, how
c r, blocks and stretches, here and
, to remind us what condition the
| city was in twenty-odd years ago. But
the spirit ut refinement is fixed in the
hearts and minds of the people, so
I much of happiness goes with it. that it
■ cannot cease advancing,as we may not*
rum year to year. We take pleasure in
f eeording its adv anee.

story that a lonalv Indian maiden pin

pure “fanev bred” and uive* way to
one more probable and fairly nut hen

went out to tigtit with other tribes they
hid their squaws for safely among

Turning to Ml« Kllen l> l^riml'ii

“passed through the Whetstone foun

Mr. George W. Holt, of this city was
telephoned last Sunday morning that
hia only sister, Kllen Kuster Holt, in
her Slat year, had jnat l«een found dead
at her resilience in Providence. On hia
arrival there, one hour and a half later
by auto, the sad fact aeeined evident,
that, in some moment during the pre
vious night, her reason had been de
throned, causing her to turn on the
deadly gas, with closer! doors and win
f dows, which resulted fatally,
i The only explanation is, that having
! been ill nearly all summer—although
! apparently recovering—her nervous
system seemed weakened, with rather
despondent feelings, but apparently
nothing more than might be expected,

The nomination wu* seconded by ex

complimentary to Mr. Svarla, a* the
candidate who will honor the office

K. Hear!*, it* Putnam's delegate, ami
made the following short hut very ap

hi-, own (ml tin- feeling* ami senti
ment* of tin' Iteptibllcan* of the entire
S natorial District,and, we might add,
all oilier':
Mr. ( hairnimi anil lie I eg ate"
There are time' when duly become* a
pleasure. In secondingthe nomination
'o ably maile by ex-Henator Ini. I».
Itale* of the Hiin. t'harle* K. Hear la,
for Senator of thla District, I can truly
say that il altord* me great |*-r-imnl
satisfaction The honorable gentleman
lia-i had, really, two home* for mure
than thirty-eight year*, lie ha* spent (
one third of each twenty-four hour*
and ha* hail one third of hi* meal* In
Putnam during that fieriial, and ha*
carried on hi* business in that jmrtlon
ol Putnam which wa* formerly a part (
of Tbompnon, in the Harm- section in
which we are now assembled; and he
had only to look across the tjulnrbaug ■
to see what wa* formerly a part of Pom- ,
fret—bis native town. Ho that It Is
eminently tilting that Putnam should
second his nomination and feel, in so
doing, that she is conferring an honor
upon one who Is, jointly with Thomp
son, one of our own i-III/enf, at least
one of the prominent factors in our bu- ,
sloes* community.
Kor four decade* J have known him,
but so broad have been hi* activities
and so widely recognised hia ability
that tie needs no eulogy at iny hands,
lie has worked with studious fervor In
his profession until lie has become noted
throughout the Hlate and across its
borders as one of its must eminent law
yers. There Is no office in the gift of
the people of the Hlate which he could
not fill with signal ability. He will,
of course, be elected and will reflect ttic
utmost credit upon bis constituent*,
in honoring him we exalt and broaden
the sphere of our own Influence, and
while I know that in accepting this
office he is making a llnaneial sacrifice,
vet tie will iirtng to It the same (mins- j
taking methods, the same keen logical j
mind, the same integrity of pur|*)*e j
which have ts-en such marked eltaiac- ;
j t-ristlc* of hit js-rsonal and proft-vsi >n I
! ai ilfe. Tills district and the Hlate will '
! be honored. The office ba* sought the S
J man, for no bint or suggestion of bia ;
has influenced this nomination
With k;splendid Presidential nom
inees, with a <i overture in pros|«d of i
w hom we may weif lor proud, and with ]
such a leader from this district a* the
Mon. < diaries K. Hearts, what can we
expect but that the pi Undines of pso

new triumph on the third day of No
