"Satan Never Idle"

A Plea for Religious Meetings East
 Rock Park on Sundays.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As you have kindly allowed a portion of your columns to be used in discussing the ious Harvices shall be held on East Rock dur ing the outdoor season, We avail ourselves of the privilege of expressing our opinion on the subject, and we think by SO doing we also express the sentiments of our immedi- ate friends. Our beautiful Park is to be the breathing place, or the lungs, so to speak, of our city, let us hope, for all time. What better consecration can we giv5 to the grand height and charming groVes than that each Sunday as the over-worked and wearisd citizen, hand in hand with his little ones, saunters up the driveway reading ''sermons in stones and good in every thing" that he may be sur prised and cheered by the voice of prayer and the song of praise. Satan is never idle, and as our Sunday liquor law is being en forced some other net will be laid, into the meshes of which many feet may be entRn- gled. Our Saviour seeing the multitude,
 
 lips dropped those pearls of heatitudes as The opened his mouth and taught. " Our churches, luxuriSnt and inviting as they are, come far shors of natures cathedral, where under frstted arch of leaf and twig cooling breezes woo the week day toilers to forget for time their struggle for the 'wherewithar' and simply to consider the lilies" We wish no milk and water gos- pei distilled in "honeyed words" for fear the
 women and children" may not be able to comprehend, for the best talent of our city is none too good for us working people, Let us hear occasionally part of the grand old lii urgy of the Episcopal church, let us listen now and then to such eloquent divines as grace our many city pulpits and, regardless of differing creeds, may the enc text be Christ crucitied. We wish to listen to no homilies on Sabbath breaking, for true religion ministers to the bodies as well as to the souls of men, and we have ever noticed that those who are always wish ing to become premature angels are so dis eased in body that they selfshly wish to shirk present duties. How would such bursts of sacred music as Old Hundred and Coronation sound from the mountain top at the sunset hour? ''Go to church," says one, ''if you wish to hear sermonizing." But what if the masses will not go? Then why not carry the glad tidings to them and let the precious promises tkat pervade the pages of Holy Writ be told in conversational style, and the passing throng reveals new facss let the old, old story of the true cross be again and again repeated.

The Market Opens Wsak-Prfces Decline 1 Steadily at the Opening-A Better Feel | ing Toward the Close.
 NEW YORK, June 23. The market today under the influence of numer- ous unfavorabls rumors in regard to the hnancial standing of frma and individuals was weak almost from the opening up to 45 During the period mentioned prices declined steadily th9 downward being accelerated by frequent raids on the part of the bears. Ths bulls seemed powerless to check the downward movement and the bears had everything much their way. None of the ruInors in regard to pending failures could be traced to any source and for the most part seemed to have originated from mere talk among the gossips Shortly before o'clock about the lowest prices of the day we're msde the decline ranging from < to 61 per cent, led by Northwestern Common. The preferred showed a decline of 3. Missouri Pacific 34, Illinois Central Az, Chicago and Alton AZ, Lake Shore Al, Milwaukee and Saint Paul 53S for the mon and 214 for the preferred Western Union 37s, Louisville and Nashville 3A and Omaha prefsrred3A. The decline in the rest of the list ranged from to 2k. In the last hour the market was irmer, but prices were very unsettled. As the time of closing drew near, however, without any failures being announced there a 1c.ded rush to cover which caused sharp upward turn. Taking all together the day vss regular blue Monday the Exchange. Prices fell with such rapdiy at times that there wts every indication of another panic. The rumors of impending disasters were extensively circulated.
 
 Rumors regard ng the inability of certain companies with which MT. Huntington, the great railroad mag nate, is connected freely circulated and prompt y denied. The Vanderbilt boys were reported selling heavily These and reports of reduced div 1dends by certain of the dividend paying properties and scare of other ruuors used against the market. The Gould brokers tried hard to sustain Missouri Pacific, but the offerings too heavy and at one time the prices showed decline of per cent. from the highest point. Most of this covered. however, before the close. MT. s. White stubborny contested all attempts to break tn price of Lackawanna and not oply succeeded in sus taintng 1t, but caused fractional advance in the stock.

How the Great Statue was Made.

Charles Barnard has contributed to the July St. Nicholas ve-y graphic and popular account of Bartholdi's great Statue of Liber- ty, from which we make the following ex- tract: EtIn the first place, there had to be 8 sketch or model This was 8 figure of the statue in clay, to give an idea of how it would look. The public approved of this model, and then the first real study of the work was made,-a plaster statue, just one-sixteenth the size of the intended statue"
 "The next step was to make another model just four times as large, or one-fourth the size of the real statue. This quarter size model being finished, then came the task of making the full-size model in plaster. But this had to be made in sections For instance, the first section includes the base on which the figure stood. the feet, and the hem of the garment. The next section would

The Apple Crop a Fatlure-Bad for the POtatoes-New Haven County and | EIsswhere-Bad for the Grass. A veteran New Haven county farmer wis l iting in the city says "The apple crop in l the upper towns of New Haven county is 8 | bad failure, especially in the low grounds. The agricultural reports which read in va- rious papers show that apples will be scarce and dear this year, which will cause mourn ing and sorrow am afraid among lovers of this fruit. The same is true of the potato crop in the upper part of this county and in many other towns in the State. Now a word as to grass. Excepting on the coast and few other sections the grass eros in Con- necticut is a bad failure. In the northern part of New Haven county and in adjoining sections the crop is worse than has been known In fifty or even seventy years. Whole acres devoid of grass. and in place there of there comes up sorrel in endless abun- dance"
 On the same subject the Hartford Courapt of yesterday says: "The want of rain is severely felt in many of the farming dis tricts of the State. There have been some heavy local showers which have helped out
 
 the drouth is burning up crops, even the grass crop, which is all-important to the Connecticut agricultural industry. The country roads, deep with dust which makes travelling by highways very of- fensive, show the general charae- ter of the dry season. On the east side of 1 the Connecticut river, across from Hartford, l where the soil is naturally dry and sandy, | n.-k 1 two fires and what with the heat from above I and below and the clouds of dust which sur- ] round him, he may well consider himself lucky if he gets away alive. The tobacco 1 raisers are putting out their plants in the l sWeltering heat and compelled to draw ! water with teams long distances. in many 1 cases, to moIsten the dry earth, and this ex- perience js both uncomfortable and expen- 1 sive. There have been few seasons when the situation has been more disadvantageous | to tobacco culture, and so much depends in Hartford county on the success of this crop that the present outlook is anything but en- couraging Only a rainy spell of reasonable l duration will put the earth in good shape to l give an average yield Of crops of various | sorts.
 "The general look of the outlying country indeed of ths whole State, is even worse than it usually is in the dry fall The apple trees are turned as brown by the canker worms as l if fire had run over them. The trees in the forests are browned by the late frosts, so as to seem blighted. Walnuts, for instance will probably yield no better crop than ap ples. Rye, in many cases. was blighted by the frost. The hay crop is very thin at inc present outlook. Small fruits have been de- stroyed by tho tens of thousand= of dollars worth. In some remoter parts of the State hay is selling at $20 ton in the barn. The tobacco crop and the summer boarders are the chief hope of the farmers this year."

THEY ROCKED THE BOAT.

Adam Heffener, who was drowned in Lake Kenosia, Danbury, as already announced, lost his life indirectly through the common prac~ tice of rocking boat to see how far it will go, just the way in which the two Fair Haven boys came to lose their lives recently. He was out with two companions, and they car ried on their amusement till the boat filled. Then he and another tried to swim ashore. He was drowned, and the other was rescued unconscious and revived with difficulty. The third man, who could not swim at all and stuck to the boat, had no other damage than bad fright. Rocking boat is only one re move from firing au unloaded gun. A young German at Round Hill tried the latter expert ment and shot Johnny White, boy 10 years old, who lies in critical condition, though hopes of his recovery are entertained.
