Building Operations.

Cfty Blocks and Summer COttages-Lo,
the Poor Indiana Solitary Red MAN..
It has been decided to have fourth story
to the new building which Mr.. Simons is
erecting on State street, between Grand and
Court streets, and to make the building eight
feet deeper. Mr.. Andrew G. Smith, the car
penter contractor, is laying the floors for the
first story of the new building. The first
story of the front viii be of iron, the remain
der of pressed brick. The appearance will
be very pleasing.
Work will be begun soon on the enlarge
ment of the Madison House. which viii be of
considerable Importance: The front will be
enlarged over one of the stores, and it will
also be enlarged in the rear and on the sides.
A force of New Haven carpenters are busy
at Merwin's Point on the new summer cot
tages in process of erection there for New
Haven and Naugatuck valley people. That
of Mr. Cannon is well advanced. The men
were RECALLED one day last week with BAN
ouet. over bushel of the small sized and
luscious long CLANS dug in that vicinity. They
were dug by an Indian, and were cooked in
prime shape The Indian is one of the char
acters in that sections He is one of the few
survivors of the Kent Indians, and dozen or
fifteen years ago removed to Merwin's Point,
which locality has since been his abiding
place. Not finding any women of his own
race he wooed and won and took unto him
self colored woman who has borne him
many children. They live in a desultory
way, often resorting to barns and sheds for
shelter for the night, and when it
is not too cold sleeping outdoors
among the grasshoppers. Claiming is
one of the avocations of the Indian and he
fulflls to the letter the Scriptural iniunc-
ton to take no thought for the morrow, and
is little disturbed with ambition except when
new cider is around, at which times he is
usually around also. He has the instructive
pride of his race, which allows the weaker
vessel to do liberal share of the providing.
They have no house cleaning and his tastes
lead him to claiming and fishing in prefer
ence to being tied to the life of laborer.
He is an authority on CLAIMS. Whatever
trouble scholars may have in retranslatine
the New Testament, the subject has ne
charms for him, but he is an infallible guide
to where the best sassafras grows and the
best days for blackfshing. He has but dim
Impressions of what Yale College is, and
the question whether the young alumnus
should be given more control of the lnstltu-
ton enters not into his thoughts. He
dreams sometimes of the ancient power OF
his race; but fire kindles in his eyes when
| the white mans whiskey is alluded to as an
allurement and an incentive to labor. He is
quiet citizen and supposed to be the last,
| if not of the Mohicans, at least of the Kent
| Indians, or any other Indian tribe in this
section of the State

Changes i'm the western Union.

And now we are told that Gershom B.
Hubbell, recently appointed manager of the
Western Union telegraph Office at Hartford,
has resigned, and that Manager Lounsbury,
recently sent to this city from Hartford, is to
be returned to his old post of duty. It is
understood that Mr.. w. A. Harris, OF
Bridgeport, is to succeed Mr.. Lounsbury in
this city, and that he will assume the duties
of his position tomorrow (Tuesday.) The
Bridgeport Farmer of Saturday has the fol
lowing regarding the new superintendent for
this city:
Mr.. w. A. Harris. for the past ten years
manager of the main Western Union tele-
graph office of this city, will assume manage
ment of the New Haven Office next Tuesday.
This transfer to larger field and larger re-
sponsibilities is really promotion. AS q
consequence of the recent telegraph consoh-
dalton, many of the offices of the two compa-
MES were closed, and many of the managers
and operatives were dismissed. the preference
in the matter of retention being generally ex-
tended to the American Union men. That
Mr.. Harris, who has always been in the en-
ploy of the Western Union, should not only
be retained, but advanced to a higher posi-
ton, is deserved compliment, but not more
than his abilities and record merit His sue
cessor at the Office here will be Mr.. E. Ryder,
now manager of the Meriden office"
Manager Ryder, of Meriden, succeeds Mr..
Harris at Bridgeport, and will assume his
new duties to-day.

Sermon by Rev. Edward z. EIincks-The
Power of Prayer.

Sermon by Rev. Edward 7. HtnckS-The
Power of Prayer.
Rev. Edward Y. Hincks, a graduate of
Yale and who was among the foremost In
ability in his class, preached very fine dis
courses at Center church yesterday morning
and afternoon. In the afternoon the preach
er based his remarks on the works found in
st. Matthews gospel It'll chapter, 18th
verse, "If ye then being evil know how to
give good gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good gifts to them that ask Him" He
spoke in substance.as follows: So our sa-
viour explains his teachings about the power
of prayer. Look, He says, to the Divine
Fatherhood. To believe my promises only
requires faith and belief in God faith
that does not give assent does not
reach God. We may expect to gain good re-
suits to day by the contemplation of the pow
er of prayer. The Fatherhood of God is one
of the facts of human life, the same as it is a
fact that Victoria is the. Queen of England.
Christians often cry out, oh that I knew
without life of absolute obedience The
spirit of adoption leads us to cry Abba
Father. The deepest feeling in our hearts is
one of ,ilial dependence on our Heavenly
Father. Men cannot realize practically Gods
bounty unless they go to Him with their wants
The privilege of asking keeps alive dependent
feeling A child by continued asking of the
parent realizes its dependence. This is also
true with the Christian. / believe that ev cry
child of God who offers prayer expects to
receive an answer. We are sure the knowl-
edge of God our Father brings US near to
Him, and the power of prayer is obtained in
the Fatherhood of God. Your child's power
with you is somethin more than the power
of getting So it is with your prayers to your
heavenly parent. The idea of getting gifts of
God by the asking is not right view for the
Christian to take. He knows what is for
your highest good and these gifts He bestows.
Does not the earthly father often see that the
gift asked for by his son may cause him evil !?
So the Heavenly Father withholds from His
children the bestowal of gifts which He in His
wisdom knows would result in evil. When
the Saviour prayed in Gethsemane, He prayed
as though He thought His prayer might be
denied. He prayed, Father, if it be posi-
BILE, let this cup pass from Me-" Every syl-
liable of this prayer went straight to the heart
of God. and although unanswered, yet it
wrought great good to the world. The eleva-
ton of character which we ask from our Heav-
emily Father, NAV come to us in different
ways. Does it seem to you. my brethren, to
be good thing to be child of God ? Then
let us walk as dear children, knowing that He
will bestow upon us those gifts that we need.
