Black ‘of New London on Monday condemned the wa- ter of the Old Town mill spring and informed the park commissioners that the water was unhealthy. The health officer ordered the commissioners to take proper steps for eliminating the spring as a drinking water supply. The condemnation of the water is the result of an investigation conduct- ed by the health department. For some ti:ns past Health Officer Black suspected the water because of loca- tion of the epring and the territory through which the stream passes was contaminated. Last January he sent a sample of the water to the Connecti- cut laboratory of the state board of health in Middletown for examination, ‘which showed that while the water had excellent physical properties, baving no color, no odor, no sediment and no turpitude, the chemical constituents were defective, containing large quan- tities of chlorine, nitrates and bacteria. Another examination of a sample of the water this month brought forth the following conclusions from the state laboratory: ‘The high nitrate figure and the ex- cessive chlorine show that the under- ground stream from which this spring derives its supply is receiving drain- age - contamination somewhere in its course and the results of the bacteri- ologic examination show that this con- tamination is very well filtered before it reached the spring. This water might be used for a long time without causing disease, but it cannot be class- ed as a rellable source for drinking purposes until the source of the or- ganic matter and the chlorine is locat- ed and removed and proved to be harmless as the intervening soil may at any time cease to act as an efficient filter and allow dangerous material to enter the spring. The spring has for' numerous years had the reputation of contalning ex- cellent water. Hundreds of people have used the water in preference to the city supply, many coming from sontle distance with bottles for the water, The wealth of this nation is $1,318.11.

Contam- | More Savings Deposited Formerly in a Year. Petrograd, April 12, via London, 501 p. m.—The opinion was expressed to- day by Plerre L. Bark, Russian min- ister of finance, that, economically con- sidered, the war has been a blessing to the people of this- country. Dis- cussing_the financial and soclal as- Dects of the conflict in an interview with @ _correspondent of The Asso- ciated Press, M. Bark said: No Privation Felt. “Notwithstanding the depressing and paralyzing effect of the war, the Russlan peasant class is more pros- perous than at any previous time in the history of the country. It is not difficult to account for this unusual prosperity. By virtue of the allow- ance mads by the government to the families of soldiers, which exceeds the earning power of the soldlers, the to- tal income of these families is greater than in times of peace. Thus, in- stead of feeling any privatfon as the result of the absence of the men and the loss of their services, the people are beginning to regard the war as a peculiar sort of Godsend which is putting money into thelr pockets.” “What about vodka?” was asked of the minister. “It is the prohibition of the sale of vodka which is primarily responsible for the amellorated condition of the peasant,” he responded. “The sieve through which all the earnings for- merly disappeared now has been closed and the money is either spent for present necessitles or saved for future wants. “Tt is not necessary to invent the- ories to explain why the Russian peo- ple should be more prosperous, for the actual fact is that this prosperity is everywhere noticeable. Before the war the average yearly savings deposited amounted to 80,000,000 to 49,000,000 rubles $15,000,000 to $20,000,000) while in the month of January alone about 60,000,000 rubles ($30,000,000) was de- posited.” “What about the crops?” next question. Farmers Fortunate. “The farmers have been very fortu- nate in being compelled to hold their supply of grain on account of the dif- ficulties of transportation, for grain is now at the highest price of the year, There is every reason to believe the farmers will soon_ be able to dispose of their grain in foreign markets and at a great advantage.” Discussing the conference in Paris was the RUSSIAN PEASANTS BENEFIT BY WAR Prohibition-of the Sale of Vodka Has Brought Prosperity— in One Mnoth Now Than of the finance ministers of Russia, France and Great Britain for the con- sideration of financial problems aris- ing from the war, M. Bark said: To Provide Grain for Allies. “One result was the formulation of an agreement with our allies to pool all the expenses of the war. In ao- cordance with this understanding Rus- sia is to draw upon Great Britain and France for money expended in the war, while our allies are to call upon Rus- sia for grain which they need. “This is an excellent arrangement for all concerned; for while Russia has enough resources. she is in need of immediate capital and our allies, on the other hand, have more capital than supplies. “I have already arranged a credit of 625,000,000 francs ($125,000,000) in France, and 25,000,000 pounds $125,- 000,000) in England; which Russia is to use at any time the occasion re- quires. We are on the point of mak- lnf use of part of the French credit.” n response to a question regarding the recent increase of 30 per cent. in the tariff, M, Bark said: “That is only a temporary affair, de- signed partly to make up for the loss in revenue from the vodka traffic. I do not believe that this temporary increase in .the tariff will discourage foreign trade with Russia, Increase in Trade Expected. “In fact, Russia looks for a tremen- dous increase in her trade with the United States and her allies, to re- place the German trade existing before the war. I am not an authority as to what kind of trade treaties will be formed at the end of the war, but I am sure everything will be done to open the Russian market to these countries and not to permit it to slip back to Germany. “There is now a particular oppor- tunity for the United States, for she of all of the countries to which we look for trade, is not crippled by the ‘war.” M. Bark was asked what means were being employed® to replace the rev- enues formerly derived from vodka. How Revenue Is Derived. “The amount of this revenus ex- ceeded 900,000,000 rubles ($450,000,000)” he replied. “This is being replaced in a diversity of ways, including a spe- cial war tax on railroad transporta- tion, matches, sugar and most or- dinary commodities.” HELD UNION SERVICE AT METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. H. J. Wyckoff Preacher Upon The Quest of the Best. “What scek ye?” was the text of the sermon delivered by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, pastor of the Second Congre- gational church, at the union service held at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday evening. The ser- vice was led by Rev. Frederick W. Coleman, the pastor, and the choirs of the four churches sang. The congregation was large and deep interest was shown in Rev. Wyck- off's sermon, the subject o ich was The Quest of the Best. Rev. G. G. | Scrivener, district superintendent of | the Methodist conference, led the re- sponsive reading, and prayer was of- fered by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D, pastor of the Central Baptist church. The scripture taken from John I was read by Rev. Edward S. Worcester, pastor of the Broadway Congregational church. Rev. Mr. Wyckoff said that life is a quest. When Jesus asked the two dis- ciples the question “What seek ye?” He was_minding not some trivial matter, for He used those words because life is a quest. The quest in its beginning is a quest fow something other than those things already possessed and there comes a desire for that which is good over that which is bad. If someone should ask you the ques- tion “What seek ye?” with the same earnestness of Jesus Christ would there not come to your mind the con- fession that after all there is some- thing that you want? Jesus asked this question because He wanted His disci- ples to understand the goal at which they were aiming. The one thing that can redeem us is to find the best by seeking Him. In answer to the ques- tion how ehall one know when he has found the best, tife speaker said he shall know when he has found the best because nothing can draw him away from it. Is it seeking the best in Jesus to believe the things about Jesus or to believe in Him? To believe in the words He says or to believe in what He means? Jesus asks the question “What seek ye?” because He wants us to know Wwhether or not we are seeking better things. On next Sunday morning Rev. Hen- ry T. Arnold will occupy the pulpit at the Methodist church. There will be no evening service because it will be Conference Sunday. WILL TAKE VOTE ON GIFT OF LAND. Part of Rive e Park is Needed for Steamship Terminal Project. In a special city meeting held Fri- day morning the citizens of New Lon- don are to be given an opportunity to ratify the action of the court of com- mon council in recommending a grant to the state of Connecticut of that portion of Riverside park lying be- tween the track of the Central Ver- mont railway and the river, together with the riparian rights therein.

Huntington, former- ly of Norwich, ex-chaplain of Sedg- wick Rost, No. 1, G. A, R. and still a memiA:r of the organization add ed the school children at the Wash- ington Street Grammar school, at Newburg, N. Y., April 9, Appomatox day, during which he said: “I have been asked to speak con- concerning my experience in the Unit- ed States Navy during the Civil War. I consented to oblige my friends and not because I had anything remark- able or thrilling to relate. I was ap- pointed assistant paymaster by the secretary of the navy. I sailed from Philadelphia on_ the supply steamer Massachusetts, in company with a number of other officers who were to join different vessels in the South At- lantic squadron. Our first stop was off the harbor of Charleston, S. C. This was the headquarters of the squadron and of the admiral in command, who at that time was Admiral Dahlygren. Our blockading ships at Charleston were several miles from the city, whose forts and church spires were plainly visible. The Confederate flag was flying over Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie, which up to that time had successfully resisted the attempts of our combined army and naval forces to capture them. I may say passing that these forts were never captured by assault. They ‘were abandoned by their garrisons when General Sher- man’s army, moving northward after its victorious march to the sea- would have cut them off from the rest of the Confederacy. ‘“When shortly after I went over the parapet of Fort Sumpter it was in its battered condition stronger than be- fore g shot had been fired against it. The entire front of the fort seaward was covered with tons of broken shells from the Union guns that strengehened it against asasult. After leaving the Charleston fleet, our sup- ply steamer proceeded to Port Royal, S. Q, which had been captured by our navy earlier in the war. Here were numerous machine and repair shops for our army and navy that were utilized by both to great advantage. Leaving Port Royal the supply steam- er proceeded to a number of vessels comprising the blockading fleet on the coast of Georgia, stopping just long enough to furnish them with ice, fresh meat, vegetables and last, but not least, their malil from home, which in those days reached them . ordinarily but one a month or six weeks. “At length the §&. S. Massachu- setts reached the bar at the mouth of the St. John’s river in Florida, where I joined the ship that was to be my abode for upward of two years. Much of that time while I was attached to the Ottawa, she was engaged in blockade duty. After the arrival of the army there was no occasion for blockadging the St. John’s river, which is upward of 200 miles in length, and at various points several miles wide. Quite a force of Confederate soldiers were in its vicinity who, by means of torpedoes placed in a channel of the river. blew up and sank several of our army transports. To guard against further disasters of this kind our ships for several months patroled the river for distance of 100 miles from the sea, beyond which thers was not sufficient depth of water for her to go. At this point we came into closer quarters with the enemy than at any time during my experience in the navy. At other times when our ship was in action the firing on both sides was at long range. In this in- stance at a narrow part of the river a masked battery suddenly opened fire upon us and before our big guns could silencc it, the ship was struck in places by shot and shell, but fortunately without serious injury or loss of life. “I have ir my possession an ugly looking grupe shot picked up danger- ously neur me-after the action. “Occasionaily our ship took part in offensive expeditions against other parts of the southern coast. One winter we were engaged in the-opera- tions of our fleet in front of. Charleston, 8. C. Here there was much doing but MNttle progress cap- turing the city, or blockadé runners. One day while there, I dinned on board the iron-clad Patasco, with ‘the Pay- master, who Jjoined the squadron when I did. A few nights later this|™ moniter went up near Fort Sumter on picket duty, struck a torpedo and sank tely with nearly all on board, including my friend-the pay- er. “Later on, the Ottawa was one of DOUBLY PROVEN .- Norwich Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence.

With some of our officers I visited a Prigade of Sherman’s army while it wus encamped in its out- rts of Savannah soon after its ar- al. Seeing an officer passing in the uniferm of a major general, I inquired of a sentry who he was, Standing to salute, with evident pride in his commander, he replied General O. O.

In doing this, I men- tioned the circumstances of my first meeting with General Howard, which was news to him as well as to the audience. That evening both of the great commarders, General Howard and ‘General Slocum, addressed us. Well do 1 remember what a grati- fication it was to my two sons and to many others tc shake hands with these men who commanded the rght &nd_left 5ings of Sherman’s army on its famuhis ‘March to to the Sea. “Al unother time, while we were at Jacksonville, nearly 3000 Union svldiers who had been released from the Confederate prison at Anderson- ville cane to Jacksonville on their way north. Such wretched specimens of Lumanity, caused by exposure, disease and starvation, I never saw re. Hundreds of them after be- released, died on the day before Ley reached the transports thai were to take them home. “Move than 50 years have passed since the tidings were flashed across the ccuntry that Fort Sumter had been fired upon and that war had be- come a stern necessity. All hearts were nerved to the contest and men frcm all classes abandoned their homes and firesides and enrolled themselves in the service of their country. That grand an dspontaneous uprising of the citizen-soldiery, fully armed and equipped for battle has no pavellel in_the history of any age or country. The armies that went from the various states well deserve the name of the ‘Grand Army of the Re- pubiic” It was ‘grand in the numbers which swelled its loyal ranks. It was ‘grand’ in the purpose which inspired it. No: conquest led it on, but the sentiment of the popular refrain, which sang out on land and sea— ““We are coming. we are coming, Our Union to restore, We are coming Father Abraham, Six hundred thousand strong.’ “It was ‘¢rand’ in the quality of the men who shouldered the musket and buckled on the sword. Such men as these never tefors composed an army. The flower of the nation took the touch of elbow to save it. It was ‘grand’ in the results it achieved. The victery it wen over a brave, deter- mined, well disciplined foe has no rarallel on the historic page. Victory has its value precisely proportioned to the measure and men to be, over- come. In our Clvil War West Point met West Point, volunteer met volun- teer. The iron in the blood of our soldiers was in the blood of the sol- diers dead of the South. Sincerity strove against sincerity. Prayer pre- sented its petitions against prayer. Not men of alien nature were they; they were our brothers; they fought as ‘men who would not disgrace the family name. And now, thank God, Wwe are trothers once again. When Lee’s army surrendered at Appomat- tox and General Grank refused to ac- cept the swird of his conquered foe; when he fed the half-starved Confed- erate army and bade them keep thel? norses as they would need them for tha spring ploughing; the era of bet- ter things began. The ties of rela- tionship between North and South are ten-folds stronger than ever before, and no one rejoices more than the heroic Confederates that their cause was lost.” 2 < DEATH FOLLOWED :, OVERDOSE OF MEDICINE.

McGraw and Corey arose at the same time Sunday morning and while the former was dressing Corey, according to McGraw, took a paper containing a powder, dis- solved the powder in a glass of water and drank it. He then returned to bed, saying that he did not think he would get up until later, and McGraw went out. Residents of the hotel say that they heard heavy breathing in McGraw's room between 12 and 1 o'clock, but made no investigation. It was about 5.30 o'clock when a friend of McGraw went to the room looking for him and found Corey dead in bed. Medical Examiner Harry M. Lee stated that Corey had been dead two or three hours. Corey was well known in New Lon- don and had for many years been identified with theatrical concerns. Several years ago he went on the road with Barnum & Bailey’s circus and with a stock company. It was while on the road that he was the victim of an accident which crippled ‘him perma- nently, losing partial use of his ankle, and he returned to New London,where he was employed at the Lyceum thea- tre until recently. The mother of Corey and two sis- ters, Mrs. Marvin Joseph and Mrs. Edith Murphy, reside in Los Angeles. They were former residents of New London. The whereabouts of another sister, Miss Sarah Corey, are un- known. He has an uncle and an aunt in New London. Hospital Patient Has Dancing Craze. A young woman who was being taken to the Norwich state hospital attracted much attention Monday af- ternoon at the union station in New London. She was brought from South Norwalk in charge of two, officers on the train arriving at 117.' When led from that train' to await the one for Norwich, the unfortunate woman cre- ated a commotion on the statlon plat- form by attempting to executs some of the modern dances. One of the at- tendants held her around the waist, but her arms and legs were free and she went through all the motions one might see at a fashionable dansant. It required strength and diplomacy to Ikeep her from getting away complete- ly, and her guardians as well as the woman herself had the sympathy of the big crowd of passengers and on- lookers.
