But there is a rivalry and competition, with just a tinge of bitterness that is |extibited in the action of the man- agers of the playhouses. A report of one of the revivals says that prayers that God's powers shall break the shackles of sin and free New London from the awful curse of her iniquitous places ing evangelists Is accompanied by a singing evangelist, which does quite suit the fancy of the competi- | tive preacher, and the latter is refer- |red to as an ambassador of Christ, and in continuation of the pr: just a little whack is made at the = other | preacher in this style: “He places no | dependence on extensive advertising, and says he prefers the man of pray er at his side to a singer. His sole d |pendence is placed on God's spirit, | working in the hearts and consciences |of men.” o | One who is in a position to know | declares that the fact that there are |two special revival |ress in New London does not affect in the least the attendance at the mov- i ture and vaudeville hous: night that the visiti ow comes there is a falling oft |in box office. It may be that the p s have no knowledge that religious als are in progress.

It bas been put to diversified but when permit was given for a railroad company to lay its tracks right through the reservation, thcee on realized that the possioiiity of e eralized that the poesibility of yard of the future had passed away. The place was designated as a coal- ing station and equipped with expen- | | sive and extensive outfit for the hand- | g and storage of coal, it being plan- ned that all naval vessels when in the vicinity of New London would steam : up the Thames river and take on a supply of coal, and that a regular line of colllers would make regular trips to the station and keep up the supply of coal with enough .in storage to supply the vessels om the navy in any | emergency. Well, the colliers came | and went for a time, and the other | naval vessels, not of the highest type, | actually did take coal on at the sta- | ton, and more recently the torpedo | boat destroy: have coaled there. i Away back in the days when Admi- | ral Colby C. Chester, now retired, was in command of the battleship Texas, he personally piloted the big ship to the station and the coal hunkers ware lled to overflowing. Then the battle- ship proceeded down to the-harbor, with the distinction of being the larg- est naval vessel that ever visited the paval station on the Thames and there were mone of that type that ever attempted the trip. There was a reason for the intrepid Chester in ! making that historical trip. He is a native of New London and was up to | a few years azo, and is perhaps now, [ a voter in his native city, which he considered his home prior to retire- ment. He was interested in the de- velopment of the station and made the trip advisedly, and with full knowledge that it could be mace with perfect safety, to demonstrate that the Thames river and the naval tion were all that the late John R. Bolles represented them to be and wel | adapted by nature to be the great navy | yard of the future. | Not so very long ago barracks were built for the school of instruction for officers in the revenue marine corps and school, now established there, and it has proven to be an ideal place for the school. The people of New Lon don are pleased to have the school i there, and, in order that the school be retained, it would be well for the New London board of trade, the New Lon- don business men's association and kindred societies, and the cou common council of the city of London to get busy and by united fory save the naval station on Thames from total abolition. the The Catholic church of St. Mary's Star of the Sea, which d about forty years ago, minus a stee- ple, although the original design in- cluded that distinet church identifica- tion, is to have one added and th | church edifice practically completed Ample money for the builiing of | Steeple in keeping with the magnitude | of the beautiful granite structure is available through bequests of the late Sebastian D.
