Work Nearly F hood of the BillP: Hartford, July 4. mittee on public utilities has its work y finished and will shortly report @ bill to the house. This will bear lit- tle resemblance to the bill reported by the 1907 commission and will have nothing to do with either the charter- ing of public service corporations or the making of rates. It is expected to contain some amplification of the powers and increase in the member- ship of the present railroad commis- sion of this state and to provide that the new’ commission shall contain ali of the present railroad commission- ers. The understanding is that Repre= sentative Chandler of Rocky Hill, who was the leader in the insurgent move- ment in_the house when the) public utilities bill was up before, has chang- ed his mind somewhat on the proposi- tion, and favors the kind of bill de- seribed. Theré seems little likelihood of even this bill passifig the general assem- bly, for the feeling is growing that a measure framed under such conditions at a_time when the only anxiety is to get through with the session's work and_get away from Hartford could hardly be satisfactory to the majority of the house. Indeed, the sentiment in the house in favor of a public utili- ties oill is by 10 means strong ithese days.

NATIVE SONS SPEAK AT UNION SERVICE. / —_— Large Number Gather to Hear Them at Central Baptist Church. Sunday evening the Central Baptist church was well filled at a unjon ser- vice including the Second, Broadway and Park Congregational churches and the First Baptist church, whose pastor, Rev, Willlam T. Thayer, opened the service with the invocation. The serip- ture, Psalm XIX, wa§ read by Rev. Cliffon K. Flanders, acting pastor of the church in the absence of Rev. P. C. Wright, and Rev. Joseph F. Cobb of the Universalist church announced the hymn. After which prayer was offered by Rev. L, L. West, D. D., pastor of the Second Congregational church. ‘With commending remarks upon the quility of Norwich citizenship and the city’s_contribution to other communi- ties, Dr. 8. H. Howe of Park Congre- gational church then introduced Rev. George E. Martin of Lowell, a native of this city. Retrospecting somewbat upon what the church had been to Norwich, Dr. Martin went on to speak of the duty and the opportunity of the church to Norwich at the present day, which he said he would focalize in one sentence: “It is the duty of the church tobe sovereign in the affairs of men.” Time was when men of clean hands were in charge of the city affairs, men of the altar, and Willlam A. Bucking- ham was the consummate product of a group of such churchmen. What the church has been is a fair challenge to the church today. It should be sove- reign too educationally, for it was his church standing back of Rev. John P. Gulliver that made .possitle-the Nor- wich Free Academy, this fairést blos- som of the Rose. Sovereign also the church should be socially. Time was in Norwich when the church deter- mined social lines and not to be a church member was to be off color. Disclaiming any intention of saying that the chugch was not exercising an influence 4n these lines today, the speaker said that the church in the past was a fair challenge for the church today. It was the same in noral lines and to heed this warning rom the past meant for the church ang the ministry a massive fight upon their hands. Dr. Benjamin W. Bacon of Yale The- ological school Was next introduced by | Londen in order to handle the business Dr. Howe as a son of Norwich dis- tinguished in the realm of scholar- ship, bringing a response from Dr. Ba- con of the kindly thought that includ- ed sons-in-law as well as sons. The beauty of the day, the loveliness of the city-at the present time, the strength of her granite hills as seen in her sons and the stately grace of her elms as seen in her daughters were all men- tioned with congratulation by the speaker. As we have had moble an- cestors theTe is upon us a responsibility towards them and from us should go forth a generation that is to make Norwich even more beautiful, more noble than it has been in the past. After the anthem, Praise the Lord (Marker), finely rendered by the aug- mented choir under the direction of James L. Case, the Rev. E. 5. Worces- ter of Broadway Congregational church introduced Rev. Edwin W. Bishop, D. D., of Oak Park, IIL, also a native son of this city. The great spiritual herit- age which Norwich Is heir to, and the tremendous potency of the church in. Norwich bistory was the thought im- pressing him, sald Dr. Bishop, and It is only the man with foreshortened vision who will say that the church has not been a momentous power here. Speaking of the men and women from Norwich who had entered the clerical fleld, he sounded a call for a.mani- festation again of the pilgrim spirit, which he said he believed had not fled. Rev. Clarence M. Gallup of New Bedford was next presentéd by Rev. Mr. Worcester, with reference to the lack of need of introducing the speak- er, as he was upon the pupit of his home church. Rev. Mr. Gallup spoke of his pride in occupying the place and of seeing In the audience Beriah S. Rathbun, one of the music committee fifty years ago, and Dr. John A. Rock- well,” who made an address at that time. Mentioning with reverence the names of Palmer, Bacon, Geasey, Jew ctt, Pratt, Howe and Herr, as minis- ters who had given to his iife its first incentive to the ministry, Rev. Mr. Gallup affirmed that he noticed th: not quite the same note was struck as before in our churches, and he called upon them_to consider in some mea: ure the beauty of their past, and if the church would give to the city that Inspiration and beauteous ex- pression which they ought.every prob- lem presented tnem will be solved. After-the singing of America, the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Flanders. ~ Lake Champlain Tercentenary Cele- bration. Plattsburg, N.

Later in the day there were few houses but what had a plazza party as the returning trav- | elers went out for visits to reminis- cence with the friends of former day: Travel on the trolley lines was at a record breaking rate all day, com- pelling_doubling up on the main line from Willimantic to New London early in the morning, and in the afternoon the travel was especially heavy on the Yantic line. From 12.45 on the serv- ice was doubled here and by the mid- dle of the afternoon every available car was in use, twelve extra running on this branch, eight in one string, and four in the other. The trafic was handled smoothly and without mishap, Superintendent Anderson and his help- ers giving general satisfaction by the way they handled the crowds. The | Norwich & Westerly line also brought many people from its territory, running its service double all day. Restau- rants felt the effect by nightfall and enjoyed a rush about supper time that filied them to overflowing.

As ‘long as the streets were light as day with their electric illumination the crowds lingered along the main thor- oughfare, filling the sidewdlks to over- flowing and compelling even the most hurried to adopt the lelsurely, stroll- ing gait of_those out for a few hours in the streets.

EVERYTHING READY FOR FIREWORKS DISPLAY All the Material Has Been Taken to Rogess Hill and Is Guarded in Tage Tonts—What Can Be Expected. With evident promise of favorable weather, the fireworks committee be= lieve they have a display in store which will meet with unqualified ap= proval. All the material for the big display for this evening has been on the Rogers hill Friday after- noon, being stored in two large tents pitched by ed by the exhibitors, and guard= constant day and night wateh= men. The display made a full boxe car load and consists of several tons of pyrotechnics. The work of clean= ing the hillside for the firing of the display was completed Saturday morn= ing; and before noon today all the mortars will be buried in the ground, the position frem which they are fired, all rocket-firing racks will be in place and the entire Aisplay ready for the torch. This work Is being done by several experts from the fireworks fac- tory, under the supervision of Mr. Cralg, one of the foremost pyrotech- niclans in the country, who has had great experience, having overseen the { Manhattan beach displays for a con< siderable time. < The committee has been greatly ens couraged in their efforts to please the public in the general endorsement of their choice of site from which to fir the display. After the little display of last Thursday evening, which con- sisted of only a few of the smallest sizes which will be used tonight, re= ports have come in from all sections expressing the satisfaction of the peos ple-as to ease of vision from almost any elevatéd point in the city, and from points s far distant as Central Village that the display could be seen with ease. A moon nearly full will confront the spectators if the sky I8 clear, before the display is finished, but the manufactufers assuro the commit- tee that the high coloring of the lights used In the display will lessen the de= traction from that source to & mini= mum. During the firing the grounds will be thoroughly patroled by uniformed po= lice officers, but as the hill itself will be the poorest point from which to itness the display the committee an- cipates that only children will be in- clined to depredate. The committes therefore begs to warn porents to seo to it that children are not allowed to be on or about the hill, as it will be a point of watreme danger. Spent por- tions of the aerial works will be drop- ped in the open country to the south and east of the hill, and unless the wind is high will be limlted to a small area in that direction. The programme will begin at 8.30 or as soon thereafter as possible, and fif- teen minutes before beginning thres flash and sound signals will be fired. During the interval a display of mon- ster balloons with trails of variegated and changing stars and other nowel fireworks will be sent up, wind and weather permitting. The first number of the dtsplay prop- er will be the discharge of the nationat salute of 21 aerial maroons fired from steel mortars exploding 500 feet in the air with terrific report. Then will follow the entire programme of one hundred and fifty-three pieces, clos- ing with the usual set ple: ‘Good~ night The piece de resistance of the dis- play is probably the floating fiag, which is sent up from the largest shell ever fired, and if a success will hover through space for miles illuminated by powerful magnesiu suspended from a parachute, a thou- sand feet in air.
