Word comes from Florida that the great lottery company has closed up it's printing establishment at Port Tampa and discharged it's employees. It is not believed, however, that the company Is dead. It has before now shown it's re- cognition of the fact that the appearance of death Is often the easiest means of pro- longing life. Just now 1t fears hostile legislation in Florida supplementing that of Congress. There is no doubt that the telegraph companies are being used to transmit to local agencies throughout the country the important numbers in the drawings, while tickets (elther print ed locally or forwarded from New Or leans) are still sold. According to a Washington dispatch to the New York Evening Post, the express companies have issued circulars to their employees forbidding them to receive or forward packages containing lottery matter; but part of the work formerly transacted by the express companies, the forward ing of money, is TOW carried on through the banks. The more reputable banks refuse to conduct this business, but the less reputable do conduct it, perhaps pleading that fl they did not other banks would.

The New York Sun emphasizes the value of advertising in it's own original way. It says: "The sign of the mer- chant is no longer confined to his imme- diate place of business. He puts it in the newspaper for all men to see. h. formation requisite for every body is ob- tainable by the great mass of the public from the advertisements only. Only by means of the advertisements can they both supply and make generally known private wants upon which their welfare depends. They serve as labor ex- change, a directory, a bulletin, price list, and a means of obtaining distinction otherwise impossible for traders and producers. The benefit that comes to a great newspaper from it's advertising is infinitesimal as compared with that re- ceived by the advertisers themselves and by the public.'

One of the most interesting trials ever heard before a Massachusetts tribunal promises to grow out of a fire at Haver- hill. The fire was caused by a telephone wire coming In contact with an electric light wire and being so heated that it ignited the woodwork. The law reads that telephone wires must be at least l5 inches above the light wires, and it is claimed that in this case the statute was violated. The insurance companies will pay the amount called for by the poli- cies and then sue the telephone and elec- tric light companies to recover. Great interest is manifested in insurance and legal circles as to the outcome.

As will be noticed by paragraph in our news columns the New England road is thinking somewhat of improv- ing the passenger service west of Waterbury. And it Is about time. What is wanted Is train going east in the morning and returning at night. AL though the passenger traffic on the west end of the road Is not heavy, there is DO doubt but what trains run at the time in- dicated would pay we'll. They are sadly needed, at any rate.

Amopg the things to be suggested, small area In some one fruit would be within the reach of all. This would afford a profit in majority of seasons, and every now and then comes year when the crop of fruit is worth very handsome sum-"

THE NORTH MAIN STREET METHODIST
 CHURCH..
 Much that shas been desired concern ing the condition and prospects of the North Main Street Methodist Episcopal church for the coming year has already been realized. The pastor, Rev Alvin P.

Every depart ment of the church seems to have come under the sway of an impulse to make this the best year in the history of the society. MT Knell's present address is 290 North avenue. A bicycle recently found it's way to the above address, which already greatly enhances the facility of performance as we'll as the pleasure of the pastors labors among his people. The development of a male quartet has added materially to the effectiveness of the church work.
