New Haven Morning News: Nothins
 can better illustrate the change of senti E ment in this regard than a comparison Of the drinking customs of New Eng I land sixty years ago with those of the pres l ent day. When the Rev. Leonord Bacon
 was installed as pastor of the First church in this city, in 1925, the Ecclesiastical
 society furnished free drinks for all who
 were minded to order them at the hotel
 bar. The society ssstood treat to all com
 CTS, and the amount of the bill may still seen on the books of the society. This
 was the custom Of all chnrches on such oc-
 easions, and had the First Church failed I to conform to the custom, if would have
 been regarded as miracle of meanness.
 pr. Bacon used to tell of the dangers which
 beset the minister of those days in making
 pastoral calls. At every house he would
 have New Eng gland rum offered to him, and the good people would be very much hurt l if he refused it. The minister had therefore
 to exercise the greatest wisdom and tact,
 and not make too many calls in one day,
 lest he return home in devious and who'll ly disreputable manner. If he employed
 man to work ill his garden, custom pre- scribed that he should furnish rum for the
 laborer as part of the remuneration.
 N. Y. Tribune: Six more mills in Fall
 River have agreed to close for some time to come, and it Is announced that manufac- turers in New Bedford and Rhode Island
 have agreed to join the Fall River people in tlle reduction of output. According to stotements telegraphed, the suspensions of
 work now agreed upon will reduce the pro- duc'ion for the next two months by about 2, GOO, ,0O0 pieces, This course is doubtless
 the wisest that the manufacturers of print cloths could. have taken in the present state of business. The public observes with sat- isfaction that their combination is not at tended, as some others are, with an attempt to extort from the people unreasonable prices for the goods the production of which is thus curtailed. But it is not to be denied that the course taken gives proof of considerable shrinkage in consumption and is therefore an indication of the con- timed operation of causes which have for some time embarrassed important indus tries.
 Putnam Standard, 17th :.,When Dr, Miller returned by the boat train on Fri day evening from his visit to friends in Massachusetts he found his residence taken possession of by about seventy people and his social little wife, assisted by Miss Mary E. Pettis, entertaining them i'll such a manner that all appeared to be enjoying themselves at their best. Though this was intended for surprise the doctor had by some means been informed, and there fore walked in as coolly as possible. The company had a most delightful time. Music, singing and '.alladowson on the wall, :" which were extremely amusing, occupied 8 portion of the time, refreshments, con- sisting of ice-cream, cake, etc, were served and the party all remained until late hour
 Cen. Logan at Portland: There Is abroad in this land m idea that whenever soldiers assemble that people must be careful for fear that they, being of rough material, as is sometimes said, may cross the lines of good conduct that are drawn from the best citizens. Bnt, sir, the sol diers are made up of as good blood, bone and muscle as God ever made up man with. and not only that, they are trained, drilled and disciplined gentlemen, and show it wherever they go, and the citizens need not be alarmed. I am willing to take l twenty thousand soldiers and put them anywhere in the United States and let them pass week, and take twenty thousand cit lzens who have not been soldiers and let | them pass week, and see.
 I'he sinking Of dredger in the Suez l Canal caused blockade which conld not be raised for two weeks, though doubtless the most energetic efforts were made to clear the channel. During that time over 3 hundred steamers were detained at the l mouths of the canal, of course st very heavy expense, both direct aud indirect. l This incident proves that if hostile power chose to sink half a dozen vessels at differ nnt points along the canal, it might be useless for several weeks at least, | and the most important. consequences might result to England from slch sud- len and prolonged stoppage of her com with India.
