Such peculiar ability as tbas possessed by the mature ''boy preacher" Rev. Thomas Harrison, comes high, as some St. Louis people have discovered. He is filling an en- gagement in St. Louis church, the term be- ing thirteen weeks, and the pay $1o0 week and expenses. His conversions are very numerous, and some Christians desired him to extend his influence in another part of the city to the extent of making ten-minute address at the opening of series of revival meetings; but he refused unless recompsnsed in cash, and there is great deal of hot criti- cism of him in consequence.

s'The Peoples Church" is one of the 'Bos- ton notions" which might well be initiated in other cities. The dedication exer cises of this church began yesterday, and will be continued throughout the week. The church will be absolutely free. No pew system will be allowed, and there will be no invidiouS distinctions. The idea originated years ago. The late Bishop Haven was much interested in it. The enterprise has been prosecuted by the Rev. J. w Hamilton amid many diff culties and discourRgements. Bishop Simp- son, the Rev. Joseph Cook and the Rev. Phillips Brooks will preach during the dedi- cation exercises.
 venerable claim has been again brought before the house. It is for the value Of 14S hogsheads of tobacco burned by the British troops in Maryland warehouse while they were on their march to attack the National capital during the war of 1912, and it has been pending all the seventy years since. Committees of both branches have considered it time and again, reports favorable and unfa- vorable have been made upon it, but it has never been paid, and the grandchild of the original claimant now brings it before Con- gress once more. There ought to be some way to prevent taking up the time of Con- gress with such matters.

ANOTHER GREAT STROKE AT ADANs
 FEBRUARY SALE.

COIored Silks.
 Silks are cheap. The wholesale market fs demOr- alized, especially i'm cOlOred goods. Our reputation as The Silk Mercers of New Haven necessfEates our taking the lead. Rather than cut down a little, and try to ''WOrk out" our stock, we will boldly make the plunge and put our prices away down. Besides the motive furnish. ed by the state of the whole sale markets, there is also imposed On us the necessity of closing out a large part of our stock before 22d Feb ruary. Therefore our prices will be made very low in- deed, estimated even by the almost ''panic prfces' in the market.
 ]. N. ADAM & co. f'These Silks are too Cheap"
 Some people may say when they see what we are dO- ing--"there must be sOme- thing wrong with them. No, good friends, there is nothing wrong with them, except the prices. They are QUIT own regular stock of goods. Not a single piece of trashy stuff has been bought for this sale.

A scopGn Interesting Lecture by ProIossor

Last evening Prof. J. Stanley Grimes
delivered very interesting and instructive
lecture on the nervous system and its
relation to the mini to very respectful
audience IN the Union Bethel, corner of
Orange aud Prince streets.
While tho subject is of a very complex
nature Yet toe professor showed that he
was master Of his 81 i 5cg Ia tho scientitc

several classes and went beyond that found
in the books and explained how distuTbau
ces below the diaphragm caused uneasiness
and depression OF spirits. while the lungs
aroused hope ard impulsive desires.
He clearly explained how sOmo nerves
were impulsiye and some restrictive in tho
emotional class the seat OF consciousness
was located whlch position no assumed ia
the work no published in 1883 which view
has been aiup,cd by Dc Luke, Brown

Io affirmed that the mind or saat OF
coaSciousnessis is a unit, but that the brain il
not, which fact ho brought out in tho
different traits of emOtional insanity. Tho
professor has a p:orouud mind aud il all

Tie philadelphia Record and Press are
having an interesting CUilUquy rs to tie
consistency Of the Press as u working
mans organ, The RCc0rd noted u, an
interesting fact, showing The wide d fer
ence between preaching and practice on
the part OF the Blaine organs, that nearly
all these newspapers in New York and
Philadelphia refused to pay their com
positors the ruling prices OF tho typo
graphical union, when they were loudly
prGclaiming their rarty to be the work .

Tue Press, apprecating the force Of tie
fact, declared that it paid the union rate
OF wages 10 which the Record It
spOnds that IL does SO only num!-
nally, since II pays these rates only
Tor "solid " matter, its displayed
matter being put in type at less than the
usual cost by men paid by the week.
The Press Is . "Tat " office, no union

IL follows that the Press, though follow

tO note how these broad aud loud protes
