Rummage the rummage sale at the Third Bap- tist church on Central avenue. This was the last day of the sale and it closed in the evening with excellent results. The ladies who had charge of the sale are very much pleased with the Kenmerous patronage, which more than met thelr expectations, The committes was the same as on ‘Wednesday, MRS, E. W. WILBUR it llhe by Gave Touching Talk at Revival Service at North Main Street M. E. Church. There was an attendance number- ing about 40 present at. the revival meeting held in the M, E. church on North Main' street Thursday evening. After the meeting was opened Mrs. . 'W. Wilbur spoke on Sacrifice o those gathered in the church. She took her talk from the sceme where Jesus was speaking to his mother while he was dying on the cross. She said in part: What an awful position the mother of Jesus must have been in as she stood by and saw her beloved son gladly lay down his life to save others! She loved him as much, and robably more, than any mother loves er son, but she was willing to see him sacrifice his life for the good of others. The mothers of today love their sons, but they are not willing to give them up so that they may serve the needy and bring the great light to them so that they may see how to make their life better, brighter and more useful. . If the mothers could only understand this they would be willing to give up their sons and the world would be much better and ev- erybody much happier. The speaker went on to tell the pathetic story of the life of a man who was turned away from the church doorby the act of ome of the leaders of fhe churcix She sald this man, who lived in New York gtate, was drawn to a meeting in the church. He was a man of very evil character and made his living by stealing sheep. The words of the preacher touched him and he was led to confess his wrongs. In his con- fession he told how he had stolen sheep from one of the leaders of the church and said that he was willing to take up the new life and follow it and that he was sorry for his sin, The day this deacon of the church had him arrested for his crime. This act turned the man against religion and churches and during the rest of his life he refused to enter or have anything to do 'with a church, The speaker concluded with the heart~ breaking story of how the man's wife, who was a true Christian. tried to turn the man from his evil thoughts on his deathbed. During the service the 11 yvear old daughter of the captain rendered the Tawo Little Orphans, and there was much comment upon the quality of her singing. There will be no ser- vices in the church Monday and Tues- day evenings, as Captain Wilbur has been called to New Haven to attend an officers’ council there which will be held Tuesday. There will be a ser- vice Sunday evening. No Score at Football. Wednesday afterncon the Greene- ville grammar school team and St. Mary's. team met_on the Shetucket company’s lot off Prospect street, and a large crowd was on hand to witness the game.

It also pro- vides a storage room for the large stock of copper rollers necessary at this plant, convenient te the print room. The btorage facilities at this plant have been very much cramped for several years. Concrete Dam at Silver Spring Plant: At the Silver Spring plant in Provi- dence, additional buildings have been erected, and a new reinforced concrete dam with a crescent rollway 54 feet wide on the West river, having a ca- pacity of 70,000,000 gallons of pure water has been constructed, This ad- ditional supply of pure water suitable for bleaching purposes removes the danger of a scant water supply, which has threatened this plant during the ummer months for years. i I New Boilers at Pawtucket. At the Pawtucket plant-an entirely new boiler house was buflt and 12/ Bigelow horizontal return tubular boil- ers, of 3600-horsepower, installed, which have been in use about months, and already show economy in coal consumption, besides furnishing considerable additional necessary steam power. Sixteen wells have been driven, giving a large supply of pure water suitable for bleaching purposes, estimated at 4,000,000 gallons daily. The report also' included the year's operations of the Queen Dyeing com: pany of Providence, which s operated separately, and showed 43,449,252 yards of goods finished, resglting In net earnings of $131,597.

TO BUILD NORWICH TO COLCHESTER TROLLEY New York Company Reported Ready to Proceed with the Work—Formal Transfer Will Be Made at Once. By an Associated Press despatch from Hartford Thursday night, it was stated that negotiations are under way whereby the Norwich, Colchester & !-hn!ordafncuon company/ is to be taken over by the MacArthur Bros.

He carted the body away. The horse dropped to the street in front of a store on Market street about 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The animal was helped to its feet, but only to drop to the ground again. A vet- erinary was called, and after an ex- | amination he said that in his opinion the horse was affifcted with some dis- ease and that it ought to be shot. As Mry. Bennett was not willing to have the animal shot until Mr. Bennett had been called, he was notified by tele- phone of the condition of the horse, and he came to the city. The horse ‘was removed to the wharf on a d Mr. Bennett explained that the dhi- ma] had been hung up in Bog Meadow recently and ‘in getting it out its back was wrenched so that it had been in| bad shape since then.

The beautiful day on Wednesday | this week was favorable for a good | attendance at the Preston City con- ference of six churches, at which Rev, Luther M. Keneston, pastor of the Congregaticnal church there, presided. The audience room and vestry were most attractively decorated with cos- mos and chrysanthemums, The morning session opened with a devotional service led by Mr. Keneston. An anthem by the choir, Because He Loved Me S0, and 2 solo, Rock of Ages, by J. Kellogg Hall, were espe- clally helpful features of the morning service. Rev. Willlam F, White »f Ledyard preached the sermon, his sub- | Ject being Gripping the Psychological | Moment—The Moment of Spiritual Apprehension and Appreciation. The text was found in Matt. 16: 15-18. The morning service closed with the hymn God the Father. At 12.15 o'clock a rich and bountiful collation was served by the ladies of the church. / Women Made Good Reports! The afternoon session was opened by J. Kellogg, Hall, who led a spirited praise service. The report ‘of the scribe was then read.

Following the woman's half hour, was a solo, Calvary, finely rendered by Mrs S. T. Burdick, daughter of a former pastor of the church. A Live Missionary. 3 In place of the discussion which Is usually the prominent feature in the afterncon programme was & mission- ary address by one of the very livest of missionaries, Rev. O, K. Tracy, of Smyrna, Turkey, who 1s now on & fur- lough to his native land. This fine ad- dress showed rare familiarity wita Turkey past and present, a familiarity gained by many years of residence and missionary work in that country, and was listened to with deep interest. Americans Respected in Turkey. Among other things Mr, showed the relation of war to mission- ary progress. He said that notwith- standing the evils which ‘might be enumeratedl against war, yet out of it does come a renovated faith and con- sequently a stronger church. As a result of missionary advice and prac- tical assistance rendered by our Amerlean missionaries in times of war, massacre and famine, our nation holds a position of great influence and re sponsibility in the. Turkish empire. That John R. Mott was able to draw the men of ‘Turkey Into his assemblies and that they were willing to listen as he talked to them about work for young men was due to a better under standing’ by the Turks of the aim oy the missionaries and to thelr know- that whatever reforms mission- arles would gladly see accomplished, still they are loyal to the Turkish government. The fact that we can place our Christian institutions where we will throughout the Turkish realm is due to this influence which we have On Thursday New London County|&ained.

It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape With Its heart-wrenching pains, when you can be quickly and permanently curéd. Rheumatism comes from weak, in- active kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the polsonous waste mat- ter and urlc acld; and it is useless Lo rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relleve the pain. This only prolongs the misery and can't possibly cure you, The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis- covery, Croxone, positively does this. It neutralizes and dissolves all the polsonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to Scratch and frritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, so they filter all the poison from the blood, and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles and blad- der disorders. You will find it differ- ent from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results, You will find rellef from the first few doses, and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end.
