While religion is spreading and us! ood effects are to be seen in every | nd, the general public in this coun- , at least, does not seem to give at serious thought to the feast ¥s which commemorate the great vents of the world which they de- rve. Good Friday is the anniver- pry of the crucifixion, when the aviour of mankind died on the cross b as to redeem the world, and yet ¢ day, which should be observed' by iety and devotion, is in reality a hol- lay given over largely to amuse- hpent. This is not due:to a lack of spect for the day or because the ple desire to minimize, as it were, e importance of the great event hich it commemorates, but because seems to be in accordance with e custom of the age in which e live. The world is un- pubtedly growing better, but peo- e are being led to Delieve that even ch a great event.as the death of us Christ .can; he: observed. in a pirit of pleasure. and.they thought- sly put this feeling into practice then in reality some portion.of the should be given over to pious poughts and the observance of ligion. It is a day when e better - fnstincts” of = mankind hould be' stirred™ to, high and ply effort, when we . should give nks for the life that is in us and. ay.for strength to Him who died h Calvary’s mount:for the saivation the world. | Authorities say that the crucifixion ok place about noon, that the Sav-: ur died .during the . afternoon and is" body was taken down from the oss ni the evening and placed in the mb from which He arose on Eas- r Sunday. morning. We owe every- ing to the Saviour and the span of man. life isn't long enough within hich to fully repay Him for all He hffered for us. DISCUSSING LOCAL AFFAIRS. The speech of Alderman Quigley | the second ward last evening was | ore temperate than any he has thus r made, while those made by the pmocrats, particularly Mr. McDon- jgh and Mayor Halloran, were in re- y to some of the assertions made by r. Quigley previous.to.his nomina- pn for mayor. There -is ‘reason for the statement at this is the kind of argument the pople wish to hear and it is. quite rtinent to ask why such issues | ould not be discussed at every elec- pn. They concern the people them- lves .who furnish ~the money rough taxation for the support the government and they ive a right to know all about le manner of its expenditure as well the methods used in the general pnsaction of the public business d it-looks ag if there may be some- ling -done during this campaign hich will ‘clear up the disputed ints and .show the people just ere the city stands, what its debt if necessary, what the city has for land what its resources are. This is formation the public is entitled to well as everything else pertaining | New Britgin. Such a campaign jght to be’ af value to everyone. | MBRIDEN DISOUSSING NEW CHARTER. The committee on revision of the arter. of the city of Meriden is dis- ssing the advisability of giving ore power to the mayor, such for stance as permitting him to make ore appointments than is allowed der the charter at present. The mmittee will find much evidence | prove that the mayor ought to lve considerable power and that it is ble in every city to ‘make this [ce as important ag possible. The gument is also being advanced that e council merfibership should be re- ged and it will be difficult to find | with the suggestion. 3 | ‘smaller body can.-always tran- “business much‘,l}ecter than. .a ith the cum- boay of thirty as at m,-] Meriden would find itself in the dition and so would "ail . (Washington Letter plt e other cities. It is dm’xcult to make people see this matter in this light, but Meriden has an opportunity to do:it because it has plenty of time before the. legislature meets when the m&fi.er must . negessarily:, be brought up, so long as the amendments are not.in conformity with the new law enacted by the last legislature in ref- erence to the amending of city char- ters. Meriden has an opportunity to have its citizens discuss all the proposed changes so that all may understand them. It sometimes happens that proper time is not given for this pur- pose. : OF ELECTRIC SER- VICE. It is announced that electric ser- vice will be established between New Haven and Stamford about June 1 when the full service will then be es- tablished between New Haven and New York. This work was started by Mr. Mellen who also withdrew .the electric service between Hartford and Bristol which was established under a former administration and to carry on which the power house in Berlin was erected.' - This- plant is now used to furnish motive power for the Mid- dletown cars, the - trolley line be- tween Berlin and Middletown, Mer- iden, ‘Wallingford, North Haven and" .a part of the line between Hartford and. Unionville. 3 The service between New: Haven and New York will include freight as well as passenger service and will make the trip more agreeable for passengers, particularly In the sum- mer time when there will be no smoke or dust. This was the ground upon which charters for. operating trolley lines some years ago Wwere asked from the legislature. It is also believed that the service will be quicker and safer. This change has been ‘in ‘the ‘works for a long time and the news that it is now nearing completion“is being received with in- terest and 'pleasure. EXTENSION GOVERNOR GLYNN UNHAPPY. Governor Glynn of New York has been an unhappy individual during the past few days as a result of the persistent efforts made by people. who ‘want him to grant a reprieve to the gunmen sentenced to be electroctited for the murden of Herman Rosen- thal, the gambler. He has so far.ad- hered to his resolution not to inter- fere, but it is stated that a scrap of paper has been found on which a lawyer in the Sulzer case wrote that two witnesses were not to be relied upon and .it is a strange coincidence that” these two persons were among those who testified against the gun- men. Renewed efforts have been made on the strength of this discov- ery to induce the .governor to in- terfere -and to. grant a reprieve’ to thé men until augr"B_ecke;—'s “second trial. 3 The condemned fren have no‘influ- ential friends and-. no .other friends either,” except their immediate rela- tives and some Hebrew. clergymen and these are very active. They have driven.the governor, almost . to -the verge of nervous ' prostration and have made him realize tnhat he is the only one who stands between the .gunmen and death and he frankly admits that he does not like the po- sition. Had Flea Bites All Right. to St. Globe-Democrat.) One of Senator William J. Stone's allments during his récent illness was phlebitis. The senator’s physician has been reticent concerning the de- tials of the senator’s ailments/ and it was only after Senator Stone got out and feeling like Mis old self that he personally made known what was the trouble with, one of his legs, which is getting all right again. His physi- cian had jocularly .remarked that of- fice-seeking constituents had been pulling the senator’s leg too hard, and that was all that ailed it, The sen- ator went to the capitol on crutches when he first got out, but in a day or two he was feeling much stronger and suffering practically no pain and was, therefore, able to joke about his afflictions. He made some inquiry about’ phlebitis, and a pension exam- iner in the pension bureau told a story of a veteran of the Civil war applying for a pension. THe appli- cant wrote a personal letter to the commissioner of pensions, setting forth that he had been a sufferer from phlebitis and was entitled to a pension. The commissioner sent the case out to a rural examining board, in the county where the applicant re- sided, for investigation. In due time the report of ‘the country doctor, chairman of the examining board, was received. It set forth that a thorough examination of the applicant sub- stantiated the claim that he had been afflicted with phlebitis, “because his right leg is spotted with the mark- ings’ left by flea bites.” Louis The crows are reported flying northward, and we soon shall see whether: the department of agricul- ture really 'is the supreme authority for farmers, If theré are no scare- erows this year, the farmers have be- lieved and indorsed, the department's plea that the crow is the farmer's friend; if the straw man decorates the fleld as of old, it will be a sign the farmer wants the crow to lead in —Brockton.

There are a few more days before school reopens and the school children should be pressed into service tidying up about the homes and yards.—Waterbury Republican. What is the matter with pork chops anyway ? Surely they must be pos- sessed by the same devil as the Gar- darine swiné, when'they refuse to heed the persfiasive cali‘of Governor Bald- win and come ‘down off' thé perch of ‘bigh prices“~Ansonia Sentinel. A Minneapolis inventor says he has perfected a smokeless furnace that will mean a vast saving to American householders. If -he will only go a step farther in his inventive genius and give us the coalless furnace, he will be in line for anything he wants from a long-suffering, bill-paying public.—Bridgeport Standard. A woman who was mad because she conly recovered six cents. damages in & suit against the city of Detroit has refused to cash the treasurer’s check fer six cents, but has framed it and ‘hung it up in her parlor.as lasting evidence of municipality meanness. As a result the city treasurer’s books won’t balance, much to his chagrin,— ‘Waterbury American. Mayor Joseph M. Halloran of New Britain has been Tenominated by the democrats of that town and from all indications will be chosen by a sub- stantial majority at the election next Tuesday. The unanimity of his party in tendering him a third nomination i3 a very good indication of the esteem in which Mayor Halloran is held. During his term in office he has maintained a sound, constructive busi- ness policy that must be pleasing to the citizens of New Britain and it will be surprising indeed if they do not endorse it at the polls.—Bridgeport Telegram. Most yards are anything but attrac- tive at this time of year. A good cleaning up will work wonders. And after the cleaning, the judicious plant- ing of grass seed, and a few flowers, &nd perhaps some shrubs, may change a thing of ugliness into a joy forever. And then there is the street in front. | Of course the city is supposed to care for it. But there are sometimes ways in which a man can help. It is very easy to look out and wish somebody eise would make some slight move; it is quicker to do it yourself’ The | peint in the whole campaign is to do | something; to begin at home, and to reach out as far as your arms will stretch.—Norwich: Record. we are relieved to learn on the authority of the select committee of the New York annual conference, kissed the women of his parish “as he would have Kkissed a child after christening.” No Kkiss { could be more innocuous than that, | nrot even the kiss of the vernal| breeze upon the chaste lips of a lly. 1t is evident, then, that the reverend doctor erred not so much in the some- what promiscuous distribution of his platonic caresses as in intimating to the bestowees the inexpediepcy ‘jl Rev. Dr. Price, i drink too much; telling their husbands about it—which was bad strategy on the part of a passionless parson whose osculations | are pure as the undriven snow, being calculated to implant a suspicion of their immaculateness.—New London | Day. * embroidered backs, self or con- The Child Must Play. (The Craftsman.) ““And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.”” 5 520 B. C. But there were fewer mo- tor cars in Zachariah's day - than there are in ours. The children now need, for their play, some place safer than the street. More important than the play- ground, however, is the play. It is well that children should play in a safe place, but it is absolutely neces- sary that they should play somewhere if they are to grow up at all. For there is no doubt now, I think, in the minds of educators that play builds the child. It is the method that na- ture has provided for his develop- ment. Play indeed is the positive side of the whole phenomenon of infancy. The reason the higher animals, and | man above all, are born so helpless and unformed is that they may be finished by this special method. It'is for the sake of play that infancy ex- ists, that there is such a thing as a child at all. The child who is de- prived of his chance to play is de- prived of his opportunity to grow up.

Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which re- moves the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal ac- tivity. The function of the kidneys | is to filter the blood.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine 80 it no longer is a source of irrita- tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
