THE NATIONS SAFETY.
Great WOrk-An Able Address-The Home Mission Work in the CJOmntrV

Great Work-An Able Address-The
 Home Mission Work in the
 Country.
 Rev. Dr. Sheldon of the home mission board of the Congregational church, de- livered highly interesting address at the Center church yesterday forenoon on the work of the board, what it is accomplish ing and the immense field open to it. He spoke of the vast floods of new inhabit- ants, largely uneducated masses, which immigrate from foreign countries is pour ing into our land yearly, and of the ad- missable work which the board is &C., complaining in vast fields for mission work in the west and south. Everywhere the church seeks to establish missions and churches as fast as the need for them arises. He spoke of the immeasur- able importance of this work to the republic. The nations safety and existence is threatened unless, by means of the schools and churches, the new people of the republic are properly qualified to exercise the rights of citizen ship. Gladstone and Macaulay had grave doubts for the future of this nation, fear ing that it would fail to assimulate the
 A0" A"eoAAoA, 5oAAo OA ~ AAoA tAo IhuhS of criminals, which yearly comes to our shores. It is just this problem which the Home Missionary society and kindred so- cieties are seeking to solve satisfactorily and with most encouraging results. The speaker spoke of the privations endured with heroic spirit by the pioneers of the church in the far off new settlements and of their devotion to their work as mem bers of the advance guard of the church. They did not ask for sympathy; they ex- ulted in their being able to work in the masters service, in a cause so inspiring and uplifting. The nation had cause for congratulation on what the mission. work is accomplishing. The speaker gave 8 word of criticism on the course of the government in excluding the Chinese, with it's consequent reaction on the work of the Christian workers in that tar off empire It was an unjust distinction, unworthy of a Christian nation. The immense growth of the United States was spoken of. Once the west was the western border of New England. Now there is no frontier. The nations boundaries east and west are the l two oceans. The "sinews of war;" the l funds for carrying on the mission work | come very largely from the east, where capital and wealth are so centralized. The | speaker made an eloquent appeal for help. | Dr. Smyth seconded the appeal. The re- sponse was liberal one and will no doubt !! be further increased by later contributions from ths wamheEs of the ehuEch,

AFTER HIM WITH A SHOTGUN.

HIM WITH A SaOA"ONs Thompson of the New Morris Cove Road Meets l With Obstacles - He Put Two Hundred Men at Work Yester- day and Laid a Half Mile of Track-The Road Will be Put in Fine Condition.
 Hudson B. Forbes, the Pequot club, E. B. Beecher and c. G. Kimberly of Morris Cove objected to having the Morris Cove electric road run in front of their resi- dences and made an effort Saturday to get out an injunction to prevent the tracks being laid.
 MT. Alexander Thompson, the superin- tendent of construction, heard of the mat ter and at once secured from every possi- ble source gang of two hundred men ready to begin laying the tracks yesterday morning, when no injunction could be served on him. In the meantime the irate objectors were looking for him-one of them, it is said, with shotgun. He dodged them through the night and at APO l Sunday morning began work. This was ! carried on without Interruption till 7:1O last night. By that time the extraordinary amount of 2,3O0 feet of track had been laid past the residences of the objectors.
 A short canvas of the residents of the cove yesterday showed that the above named are the only residents there who object seriously to the electric railway be- ing laid in front of their cottages. The others are, with few exceptions. in favo. of the line running in front, while @ few who would prefer that the road be built in the rear of the cottages do not object to the work done yesterday.
 MT. Thompson has not had any sleep since Friday night and forgot to eat any thing last night until after work was stopped, which accounts for the tremen- dous results accomplished. The laying o1 half mile of track in a day is notable task. No interference was met with in the work, but large crowd of visitors was curiously watching the rapid progress made. MT. Thompson was interviewed yesterday by a number of the members ot the Pequot club, who assured him tha they had no personal feeling in the matter and complimented him on the enterprise he had shown. Within five minutes after the work commenced the roadbed was ex cavated the entire front of the Pequo club.
 If no legal proceedings are commenced with view of checking the work, MT Thompson will have the roadbed ani track put in the best possible condition and will turf the space between and or each side of the track, completely remov ing the objection that the track disfgure the streets.
 The means adopted yesterday, MT Thompson said, seemed to him the mos expeditions way of getting out of the diff
 iculty. He hoped that he would mee with no further delays and could soo1 offer rapid transit to that part of tn

How Prohibition Prohibits.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 Savin Rock, which is to New Haven what Coney Island is to New York or Charlotte to Rochester, is not having the crowds there this summer as in previous years. The reason for this seems to be that licenses are not granted there this year. Consequently the old rounders stay away. The conductors on the horse railway are rejoiced over this, as it saves them many unpleasant scenes on late trips.
 Still it is no secret that "the sparkling draught, the union of the barley and the corn, that drives the skeleton from the feast" is sold there not only on week days, but on Sundays. Those indulging do not have to go into grave yard and take 8 bottle out of the cork leg of some ex- patriot, or in dark cellar and draw it out of a teapot, but it is served openly in halls and on piazzas. Unless the excise authorities are more vigilant the old time travel to that resort may soon commence again.

UNION SERVICES.

 Congregational and the | First Baptist Churches United to Celebrate Children's Day-Evangel- ist Davidson Breaches to the Chil- dren. The members of the Davenport Congre- gational church and those of the First Baptist church commemorated Children's day yesterday by union service yesterday forenoon at Davenport church, at which Rev. MT. Davidson preached. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. A large audience was present, including many children. A union service was held last night at the First Baptist church, at which MT. Davidson also spoke, addressing his remarks especially to young people. Communion services at both churches will be held next Sunday. This is week before the regular time, but it is done so that the two churches can hold their vaca- tion union services the first Sunday in July. During that month the services will be held in the Baptist church; in August in the Davenport church.
 MT. Davidson said yesterday morning in the course of his remarks:
 Some people seem to think that when boy, of ten years say, becomes Christian he must become old and sedate. No; he will still be boy of ten years old, just as full of life and energy and enthusiasm after conversion as before. Children, when they lose their temper, are often told, I "There, I'm afraid you are no longer a Christian" How should we like to have that said of us whenever we made @ mis- take?
 l A boy or girl who has a beautiful char acter will soon have hosts of friends, but the boy or girl who has pretty face, but is unkind or disagreeable, will soon be dis liked. Dare to do right. Build up a beautiful character. Learn lesson from the tree of beauty and strength and useful ness.
 A small bridge was built firmly by g conscientious builder. At length g vast flood came and swept away village after the valley till finally this bridge was reached and the houses were washed against it, but the might of the flood could not carry this away. The inspector at the Johnstown flood said that 5000 people had been saved by this bridge. Children do your best in everything.
 Parents sometimes hinder children from becoming Christians or at least apply the let alone policy. Mothers, you may lei your children alone, but Satan will not.

Every mill has a certain num- Der of these remnants Jeff, usu- ally in to 1o-yard lengths. Don't know why, probably be- cause an extra allowance of material is made for each piece of goods, leaving a finished surplus. These remnants are exactly the same in pattern and quality as the regular prices. We've got about 5000 yards of Shirtings here, mill remnants in l to lo- yard lengths.

 Entertainments. ANoRITA AND SAID PAsHA AT THE HYPERION.
 The Germaine Opera company will give "Amorita" tonight and Tuesday night at this opera house, instead of "Said Pasha, t" as previously announced. ''Said Pasha" will be given Wednesday and Thursday.
 ''Amorita," one of Alfonso Czebnlka,s most exquisite productions. has received an unlimited degree of praise. wherever produced. At Springfield it was particu- larly we'll received and the Republican in writing of it spoke of it's superiority to a production by much more pretentious company led by a well-known opera-bouffe star.
 For company playing at so-called pop ular prices the work done certainly rises far above the standards which have com nonly been set for that class of operatic productions.
