who Ts Rev. Sam smallP

A well known citizen writes as follows: 'tThose who wish to know should go to the Atheneum on Thursday evening and hear Rev. Sam Small tell the story of life which was once hidden in the obscurity of Geor- gia barroom, but which has since become such wonderful evidence of the change which the power of God can work in the human soul and life. It is still fresh in the memo ry of many of our readers how the papers throughout the entire country were filled with sthe remarkable story of the revivals conducted in the great cities of the land by the two associates, Sam Jones and Sam Small, reyivals, whose like had never been seen before. People threnged from every side to hear the truth proclaimed in way that stirred the hearts of men even when ex- pressed in the most quaint and unexpected words
 When MT. Small turned from the glorious work which he had been doing as preacher of the gospel and entered the lecture field he brought to this new work such power and pathos that everywhere men were moved be- yond their wont, and everywhere the papers united to praise his efforts and concurred in telling of the matchless oratory of one who is certainly one of the most remarkable public speakers of the age. His grand powers are devoted to the cause of temperance, and he is spoken of as second Cough, lecturer who can hold an audience spell-bound while he pictures with vivid realism the story of life brought out from under the power of strong drink and made to glow as with light from heaven. Leading papers say there are few men and few addresses so well worth listen ing to. Be sure and get your tickets in time Men who have failed to hear Mir. Small in one city have been known to go fifty miles to hear him on the next day in another city. With in the past week the crowds who went to hear him in New York city were so large that many were turned away, unable to gain ad- mittance.
 MT. Small is in deep afiiction, having lost daughter the past week by scarlet fever, but this will not diminish the pathos nor the burning eloquence of his address. x.

Fairy Like.

Our readers have doubtless observed in our paper, during the past few months, the ex- tensive advertising of Fairbanks Fairy Soap. Messrs. N. K. Fairbank 6 Go. are one of the oldest, wealthiest and most successful firms in the country, and it might have been safely taken for granted that they would not offer for sale with their brand and name anything that would be considered humbug. Yet at the same time words of commendation com ing from us editorially would have more weight after the article had been we'll intro duced and thoroughly tested by all who have tried it. We now call special attention to the attractive appearance of the soap, as well as to the novelty and beauty of the advertise ments. The price places it within the reach of every consumer; and, when quality is con sidered, proves that Messrs. Fairbank 6 O.
 are selling it at the closest manufacturer figures. Everybody who has tried the soap seems to prefer it to all other kinds, and it's economy is universally attested to. We un- derstand that Messrs. Fairbank 6 Go. intend to continue the advertising regardless of ex- pense, until the whole community has no ex- cuse for not knowing all that is claimed for Fairy Soap, and proving for themselves the superiority claimed for it.

FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY Of the Boys Club of the United Work.
 CTS.

Fifteen years ago to-day the Boys club was started by the United Workers. The mems reading room in the Holly Tree Coffee House proved so attractive for boys that it WAS thought best to give them a room for their especial use. Mir. William Franklin, MT. William Gale, MT. Leroy Gale and other gentlemen took the charge of the club for two years After this MT. Collins was en- gagged for time. Since then he has been employed in other work and has not been connected with the club in any way.
 Under the superintendsnce of Elmer E. Hayes, who has been in the club for six years, the work has become very satisfactory to the society. Six hundred boys are en- rolled on the membership list, and on one evening this winter the attendance was 342 The United Workers have felt a strong need for enlarging this work and making the good effects more lasting. The club has for if teen years furnished a safe, warm place with books, games, gymnastics and good infuen- ces. It is now proposed to do much more
 MT. Hayes now gives his entire time to looking after the boys. He visits their homes, learns their needs, helps them to find work, encourages the industriuos and stimu- lates the idle.
 One day he talked with an idle boy and urged him to go to work. ttNe," was the reply, 'T belong to the sons of restl" The next day he was arrested for vagrancy and sent to jail for fifteen days. Mir. Hayes will visit him there and show him that the jail is a logical result of being "son of rest' and expecting the community to give him living.
 Mr. Hayes goes to the police court every morning, and 1t is hoped that his personal inkarast and influence will save many bey from a repetition of his offense.
 The work is one whose importance will be realized by all who will think about it. Moreover it will make increased demands on the treasury of the United Workers. Will not those who are interested show their in- terest in practical way by making especial gifts of money for this object? a.

THE ALLYN HOUSE FIRE.
The Flames Do Much Damage But Water Ruins Thousands of Dollars Worth of Property.

The Flames Do Much Damage But Water Ruins Thousands of Dollars
 Worth of Property.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 21.-The damage result ing from the Allyn House fire this morning amounts to about $22, ,000. The fire was dis covered in the baking room. The ell is just about one-quarter of the entire building. MT. Richard J. Allyn, the proprietor of the hotel and owner of all the furniture was over come by excitement during the fire that he has been confined to his bed to-day under the care of physicians. He is about seventy-fve years old and could not be seen personally in relation to his loss or insurance. It is ascer- tained, however, that his insurance was placed through Silas Chapman, jr.'s, agency as follows: $10,00e divided equally between the Fire Fund of California, Germania of New York, Fire Association of Philadelphia, London Assurance company and Continental of New York. The loss on furniture is care- fully estimated at $9,000. When the fire was discovered the night clerk, Mir. Fred Childs, and the porter, Michael Melia, hasten ed to awaken all the dozen so guests in the ell. Then they went into the wooden build ing leading from the ell to the main building, where the rooms of the servant girls were, and aroused them. There were no hair breadth escapes nor blanched faces, for all of them had plenty of time to leave their rooms and get into the main building away from both smoke and water. Fire didn't come within two rods of their rooms. There was no resemblance to panic to be seen any where in the premises.

SHE'LL FISH con1m1ssroN.

The Tax on Oyster Lands to be Re-
 dueed to six Cents an Acre-The1
 Commission's Work Pushed Toward
 Completion.
 The commissioners of shell fisheries have
 just finished their seventh annual report to
 the Governor and General Assembly of Con-
 necticut. The work of the engineering de-
 partmeut has remained under the manage
 ment of MT. James P. Bogart. He has made
 @ number of important tracings, set many
 buoys, surveyed several town boundaries on
 the water, determined many essential points
 in the jurisdiction lines of the commissioners
 and has done the larger portion of the field
 work, the mathematical calculations and the
 mapping incident to the Rhode Island bound
 ary.
 The commissioners recognize the fact that
 losses from star6sh materially affect the value of oyster grounds, and although they believe aside from starfish that their esti- mates of value have been right, they have been led to reduce their estimates for the current year from twenty to thirty per cent. because of stars. This has been done after consultation with the most intelligent and judicious cultivators. So that the tax to be laid the current year will probably not exceed six cents per acre. The past year has been l a prosperous one for the oyster growers who understand their business. The Sabella val- garis, worm which was found two years ago | in unusual quantities on an oyster bed near | Stratford, seems to have done no harm else- ! wheIe From careful inquiries among the oyster growers it is shown that although it is sometimes found among the oysters along l the shores of the State and may occasionally | smother some of the younger growth, the I percentage of loss caused by the worm is really inappreeiable.
 Every branch of the fish commissioners work has been pushed forward as fast as pos | sible and with as much economy as constant watchfulness could secure. The books, maps, \ documents and records in the office are wit ness of the work accomplished and the thor ough and systematic methods observed in every department The engineering records | fill up ITO books. The buoy book records alone number forty-eight volumes.
