SILAs J. STOWE, liquor spotter, who for some time past has been plying his avocation in New Haven, was brought to a round turn yesterday, having been neatly trapped in blackmailing scheme to extort
 hush money from saloon keeper against ing to minors. Stowe was arrested while in the act of pocketing his ill-gotten fee, and upon being searched was found to be carrying a concealed weapon, and will have to answer to the two charges before the superior court. Liquor spotting is a case the spotter is worse than those he hounds and as in this case, blackmails. En- force the laws, but do it in the proper way.

JOHN HUBBARD, an eccentric farmer of Bedrock, West Virginia, put 29 hen eggs in bed between blankets, and then got into bed himself, claiming that there was sui fcient warmth in his body to hatch out a brood of chickens. It was his intention to send the chicks to Field Marshal Cooper of Pennsylvania as token of esteem, but an unfortunate circumstance prevented In order to keep himself and the eggs warm, Farmer Hubbard drank large quanties of hot buttered rum. He remained in bed thirteen days; and on the morning of the fourteenth day he drank an extra dram and rolled over. A great secret was thus lost to the world. The neighbors had to turn the hose on the human hatching machine.

RELIGIOUS GLEANINGS,

The English Church union has established "yearly celebration" (of the communion) for it's deceased members.
 Three hundred have already been added to the Baptist churches of Louisville as the re- suit of MT. Moody's meetings. In Illinois there is population of between ! 500, ,O00 and COG, ,00O wholly unreached by any regular religious ministrations. The indications now are that the Methodist Episcopal church will raise $1, 200, ,OOO for mis- sions this year, as it will set out to do.
 The receipts of the American board for the first six months of its financial year are about 1000 in excess of those for the same period last year. The missionary debt of the Southern Meth odist church in May, 1887, was 800, ,241. 12. It is now S21 ,799.46. A notable reduction in
 less than one year.

TREASURER ROYCE FINDS A CHAM
 PION.

A Willimantic reader of the DEMOCRAT, who is friend of Treasurer Royce, accused of fmissappropriating funds of the Willim- antic Savings Institution takes ex- ception to our view of the case, expressed in an editorial in Tuesdays edition ana hastens to send us the following communi- cation:
 Winimantic, Conn, March 2s, 1888. Editor of the EVENING DEMOCRAT:
 have no desire to shield any guilty bank off cial, but in the case of Treasurer Royce of the Williamantic Saving Institute, who is accused Oi irregularities, a spirit of fairness demands that your attentil Il called to the error you have fallen into. The DEMOCRAT says: ''The very fact that he Royce) has fled proves his guilt and sym pathy for him is wasted" You assume too much having been misled by a sensational newspaper report MT Royce did not skip to Canada. He went to New York last Friday even ing and returned this forenoon. His purpose in going was to investigate the financial condition of the parties whose paper the bank is carrying with a view of ascertaining what prospect there IS of recovering any of the loss. He found tha' said parties have two dollars in assets to every dollar they owe MT Royce is convinced that within six months they will pay every cent of the indebtedness to the bank MT Royce asserts that he has never made cent by any of his transactions
 F. E. B.
 The DEMOCRAT has no personal feeling against MT Royce. What we said about him, will apply to every defaulting bank official. If he is not so bad as painted, and can prove to the satisfaction of the banks creditors that their money is safe in it's keeping, then we are thousand times obliged to the Willimantic correspondent who calls our attention to the matter. MT Royce was absent from Willimantic and no one seemed to know whether he had fled for good or not, when the DEMOCRATS s article appeared

truth ought to investigate the prettily elevated

they will see why our fathers selected the Hill

explanations are given to show why this selec-
ton has not kept equal pace with others. Real
estate syndlcates procuring from Congress i'm
provements for the western section and Con-
gress' action in extending unlimited powers to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company are
the main causes. Congress alone has the
power and it should speedily settle the right
eous fight against this money-grasping, life
and-city- destroying railroad. This road should
go east of Lincoln park and into Virginia ave-
nue. to enter a union depot with the Baltimore
and Potomac road. When this is done the Hill

no less than that of servants at houses where
such purchases are never made. Is there no
law to regulate this annoyance in this city? In
some eastern cities people put card in the

be equally disirous of evincing their spirit of
Thanksgiving. We should all be grateful for
the temporal prosperity. for the peace.
throughout our common country. The
labors of the husbandmen have been crowned
with abundant harvests: commerce and indus
trial pursuits have gone forward with even

pace with the diffusion of Christian knowledge
in the land.
1t is true, indeed, that disasters by floods and
| storms in the west and that pestilence in the
south have darkened and afflicted many a home
But even in these visitatiOns of sorrow we should
humbly bless our Heavenly Father, whose mys-
ferrous dispensations we cannot fathom. but
should always adore. We should kiss the hand
that strikes as well as the hand that caresses.
for, whether He smites or fondles, He is always
| loving father. And these occasional calamities
are but the shadows that bring out into holder
| relief the bright picture of our national pros
perity. While. too. in other lands the times for
choosing the rulers of the nation are often oc-
casions of political convulsion. of the Interrupt
