THE CHURCH ALSO DEsPor1c

The Church plays no second fiddle in Rus
sia. 1t backs up all the despotism of the
State. Every one, whether dissenter or
atheist, is compelled to confess his sins and
go to sacrament once a year. If any one
either in a public meeting or in private
makes any remarks that will tend to shake
the faith of another she is deprived of ali
civil rights, and exiled to the most remote
part of Siberia 1t is well for IngersolI
and Dr.. Parkhurst, and Brother Briggs, and
DR.. Field and the great army of heretics in
this country that they do not dwell under
the Church in Russia. Whoever dares in
that country to question the Christian faith
to censure the orthodox church, or to revile
the Scriptures, is deprived of property,
citizenship, and marched off to the worst
part of Siberia.
The Government follows every one, even
into the obscurity Of private life. Ifa few
friends gather in a private house to discuss
literary matters shey have committed a
crime under the law, and are liable to pros
ecution and punishment. In Russia wo-
mans club could not exist. If the men,
bers Of the Woman's Club of Pittsburg, were
meet even in private parlor, they would
speedily be arrested and summarily hustled
off to Siberia
DETAILS OF THE IMPOSITION.
To even visit the theater in Russia re-
quires petition to the Theater Board, and
a vast amount of red tape. No one can
enter or leave city or town in the Cars
dominions without reporting himself to the
police. No one is allowed to enter
tain tain. thoh1 friend first even not;fvaa for "a
police, and sending to them the passport of
the guest Neither Russian nor for
eigner can stop night at a hotel without
showing passport to the police. So stern
and unbending is this rule that the Russian
lawyers definition of man is can animal
composed of a soul, a body, and passport -
This necessary paper has to be renewed
once year, and it takes petition, and
pile of documents to secure it.-snd AuAn

 MT. William F. Coburn, senior member of the firm of Coburn & Co.,, wholesale dealers in spices at 197 State street, died yesterday afternoon shortly after o'clock. MT. Coburn for many years past has been suffering with heart trouble and this was in the end the cause of his death. On Fri day of last week he left his business and went home earlier than usual, complaining of being completely exhausted. The fam fly physician, Dr. Anderson, was summon ed, and at once perceived that the disease had redoubled it's force and that there was not much hope for the patient. He kept growing worse steadily until the end, which occurred, as stated, yesterday after noon.
 Years ago Mr. Coburn's father started the business in the rear of the Mechanics' bank. After his death his son moved it to it's present quarters. MT. Coburr was a member of Hiram lodge, E. and A.

Big Game Flourishing In Connecticut

Big Game FlOurishing in Connecticut
 This Year.
 There seem hardly enough partridges in Connecticut to-day for seed for 1899, and the mild season has allowed quail such wide freedom in ranging, that no great numbers of the little fellows have gone in- to hunters game bags; but reports of big ger game are quite plenty.
 It was only week ago Sunday that two men, out for stroll in the South Glastonbury meadows, saw a dozen wild geese floating in the river just opposite them. The observers spent some time feasting their eyes and wishing that it was some other day than Sunday, just for a few minutes, and that some we'll choked 10-bore guns were in their hands. Then the City of Spring field came up the river and the big birds rose and wheeled about over the boat, just as if they knew how safe game in Connecticut was on the first day of the week, since man by the name of Collins and some excellent ieutenants reminded the Sabbath breaking part of the commu- nifty of the existence of @ certain statute for such cases made and provided.
 It was hardly half mile from that point, on the main street of South Glastonbury that deer was seen few days ago by a young man with good vision and con- science. It ran in near barn, and, when frightened, took to the woods again. Nc one has reported seeing it since, and it may be the same animal that was seen so often year ago in the ''Dark Hollow" neighbor. hood few miles east of there
 In less than ten miles from this same neighborhood-you can't find out any more definitely unless you know the jealous shooters very well-two gunuers about { week ago were beating out favorite buck | cautious movements of the dog showed 1 them that their expected flock of quail hae been taking their supper in the stubbl, | only short time before. A few minutes later, as they approached little run in { 1 pasture where the birds were known to l gather at night, two or three clear "Bol
 White" from the woods above the hill told them that the flock had been scat
 tered and were calling together for th' night. They thought they understood who had been ahead of them, when, jus at that moment, wildcat raised it's heat for moment on the knoll beyond them
 and then bounded across the fields for tn
 woods. That very day one of the farmer
 had been telling them of wildcat seen no
 long before in the meadow below.-Hart l ford Courant

What They are Good For.
 Brandreth's pills are the best medicine known.
 First-They are purely vegetable, in fact medicated food
 Second-The same. dose always produces the same efect-other purgatives require increased doses and finally cease acting.
 Third-They purify the blood.
 Fourth-They invigorate the digestion and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
 Fifth-They stimulate the liver and car " off vitiated bile and other depraved secretions.
 The first two or three doses tell the story. The skin becomes clear, the eye bright, the mind active, digestion is re- stored, costiveness cured, the animal vigor is recruited and all decay arrested.
 Brandreth's pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar coated.

An Upward Movement in the List Missouri Pacific the Leader-The Close Active and Strong.

NEW tOhk, DeceInDcr N
 The stock market to-day opened down on a heavy pressure to sell, and while most stocks yielded small fractions Delaware and Hudson was off per cent. The market was held well, how ever, and evidences of support in the leading shares early became apparent. The whole list gradually gathered strength and before noon the upward movement was in full swing, with Ms souri Pacific easily the leader. The Vanderbilts, grangers and specialties joined in, and the last to show the effects of the new buying were the villards, Northern Pacific preferred becoming the special feature in the last honr. Everything but Richmond and West Point shared in the movement and the market closed active and strong at the highest prices of the day. The final gains generally for substantial amounts. Railroad bonds were still largely traded in at advancing prices. There were many marked gains. The sales reached ss,010,ooo

PLYMoUTH,s CELEBRATIoN. The Closing Features of This Notable Rvant. ..-

The Plymouth Congregational church at Milford continued it's anniversary exer- cises Monday afternoon with social gath ering, at which supper was served to over 400 people from to 2 o'clock. In the evening Rev. Dr. Brostow, professor of homeletics in Yale, again addressed the meeting. The main thought in his dis course was concerning "Ths Forces of the Puritan Which We Should Conserve" He gave short sketch of ecclesiastical history, tracing the church from it's earliest foun- dations, through it's various stages of de- velopment, bringing out the lines of thought along which it had worked. He especially showed how the Congregational church evolved the idea of the individual ity of mans relation to God as opposed to the Romish idea of the relation of the church whole to the godhead.
 He was followed by Rev. Nathan T. Merwin, pastor of the Congregational church at Poquonock, Conn MT. Merwin is a son of this church, having been brought up in it from his earliest infancy. He dwelt especially on the real difference between the Puritans and the Pilgrims. This church is descended from the Pill kIluEy Iatu6E buhu tu6 uIltdub ! uc uIl- tans were religious fanatics, as their perse- cutions of the Baptists and Quakers attest. They come to this country to found sect that would tolerate no other, while the Pilgrims strove to found religion in which they might live in the closest fellowship with their God while respecting also the wishes and inclinations of others. He closed his address with some touching "reminiscences of his connection with the church when he was more intimately con- nected with it.
 Last evening the anniversary closed with @ grand concert by several soloists of note, assisted by the choir chorus and orchestra. The Plymouth church people think that such an occasion does not come very often, so it is the thing for them to make the most of it. The following is the program that was rendered last evening:
