An Interesting Career-His Early Lnbors
in the Ministry-His Anti-slavery Work.
Hartford March lS.-The funeral SER
vices of the late Rev, Samuel A, Davis,
who died at his home in this city We'd
nesday, will be held at the house ON
High street at 3 o'clock Friday after
noon, Rev. F. w. Perkins of the Church
of the Redeemer officiating. 1t is eX-
pected that Rev. W. II. Dearborn of
Medford, Mass, and Rev, Charles A,
Skinner of North Cambridge, Mass,
former pastors of the church, will be
present and participate in the services.
Delegations will be present from Wash
ington commandery and probably from
the Harrison Veterans, of which Mr..
| Davis was an honored member.
| Mr.. Davis, one of the oldest minis
tiers of the Universalist church, was
born in Reading VT, on March IL, 1910.
He. was educated at Chester academy
in that state, and entered the UNIVERSE
/ ty of the Universalist church at the age
of twenty-three and was ordained a
clergyman in it's fellowship in June,
1884.
| Those were the days of pioneer Uni
Versalism, and the work of Mr.. Davis
partook of the character Of pioneer
work, His earliest labors were in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, where he trav-
eled widely, preached constantly, and
aided in planting the seeds of the later
growth of the Universalist church He
supplemented his preaching and visitia-
lions by the publication of small re-
| ligious paper, THE Glad Tidings."
Although Mr. Davis was from first
to last the Christian minister and pas
tor, his circle OF interests included
many forms of humanitarian and
phinlanthropic work. He identified
himself with the anti-slayery move
ment from its earliest beginnings. Not
only were his voice and influence on
the side of the cause, but his home was
one of the many in the chain from the
| Ohio river to the Canada line open as
refuge to the fleeing slave and a
means of furtherance on the north
ward road to freedom. For many
years also he had been Interested in
| temperance work. Until old age pre-
vented, he was an active Mason, hav-
ing served several terms as prelate of
Washington commandery Knights
! Templar.
Since 1862 Mr. Davis resided in Hart
| ford. He served as state missionary
of the Connecticut Universalist conven-
ton for over twenty years and became
known and loved by Universalists
throughout the state.
The last years of Mr.. Davis life
were spent peacefully at home, in the
companionship of his friends and his
books, in the possession of remarkable
vigor of mind and body. He kept in
touch with the advancing thought
movements of his times. His last
reading was some articles on evolution
by Lyman Abbott In the out-of-door
months of the spring and summer and
early fall he delighted to work in his
litchen-garden, of whose fine appear
ance and fertility he was justly very
proud. The sweetness and simplicity
of life and faith that were his shining
characteristics We're evinced to the end
even in the last days of Ndelirium, and
are a speaking memory to those whose
i love was centered upon him.

YALE UNIVERSITY.

To Change the Form of the Divinity
School Commencement Exercises.
The senior class of the Yale Divinity
school has petitioned the faculty for the
abolition of short speeches at COM
mencement exercises by members of the
graduating class, and asking that the
literary feature of the occasion be a
formal address upon some weighty sub
ject of theology or religion by a men,
Der of the faculty or by some other dis
tinguished theologian.
A canvass of alumni of the school
shows that about two-thirds favor the
change.

TEN YEARS OF SERVICE,

AS President of the Consolidated Road
Summary of Some Features of His
Administration.
Boston. March 1S.-.The Boston News
Bureau says: President Clark of the
New York New Haven and Hartford
and Hartford railroad this month COM
pletes ten years service with that cor
poration, and at the last meeting of
the board he presented a statement of
the expenditures on capital account
made under his administration This
showed in round figures an expendit-
ure of S60000,000 for the reconstruction,
Improvement and extension of the New
York New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company, including its investment
in the New England Railroad company,
but excluding the Old Colony and Bos-
ton and Providence railroad systems
except for advances made in connec-
ton with Boston terminals. There are
many striking features in this exhibit,
and the largest investment the railroad
has made under President Clark is not
in the four tracking between New York
and New Haven but in the securities
OF the New TlS ldilu Idlllbdu COHl-
pany and it's leased lines. 1t was this
investment which caused the floating
debt recently provided for by the sale
of S5,000,O00 New England railroad
bonds guaranteed by the New Haven
road, and the issue of $4,000 600 New
Haven per cent fifty-year notes
The popular impression is that the
capital of the New Haven road has
been raised from $4,000, 900 to above
$45 900, 600 largely by the four track i'm
provements and aside from the real
estate purchased, large part of which
is still under rental to other parties,
the four tracking of the New York divi-
sion has cost less than $4,000, 000 In
a few months the New Haven road will
be able to transport passengers and
freight between New York and Boston
upon the lowest grade line in New
England. the maximum rise being only
thirty feet to the mile.

Days.
Washington, March 1S.--Immediately
after the senate went into executive
session this afternoon Senator Davis,
for the committee on foreign relations,
submitted a report on the general trea-
ty of arbitration with Great Britain,
with certain amendments made by the
committee He offered resolution
that the treaty, as amended, be ratified
and this started the discussion.
Senator Morgan of Alabama took the
floor Immediately and began a vigorous
speech against the ratification of the
convention. The statements of the SEN
ator from Alabama were largely repeti-
lions of the speeches made by him on
the same subject during the last ses-
sion. Mr.. Morgan spoke also for his
colleagues on the committee, Messrs.
Mills and Daniel, but it is probable
that before the debate has proceeded
very far both of these men will have
something to say for themselves. The
chances are that the debate will con-
tinue through several days.

Of the field one.hnlf the turning Is also
saved in narrowing, drilling, cultivat.
ing, moving and reaping.
Nineteenth of the farmers do not
seem TO realize and practice the truths
am trying to eluoidate. If they had,
why do they cut up a piece Of moving
ground into half days work. often cut
ting off a chunk the short way Of the
field and sometimes making more than
a thousand unnecessary turns in now
ing a 90 acre field2 And the same is
often done in blowing.
This has been done over and over
again in several 20 acre fields that
pass occasionally in the haying season.
Common sense would say 60 around the
whole, but il it must be split up into
four acre Jobs why not do it lengthwise?
The same disregard Of Mathematical
principles is everywhere to be seen as
fences are removed and farms thrown
into one or two large fields Instead of
taking advantage of starting at the barn
and blowing or oultivating 100 rods and
back and losing no time in going to and
from barn TO field, most farms which
see are fnrmod on the old checkerboard
principle, and oart paths are maintained
to reach fields which might have one
end abutring upon the highway or at
the barnyard.
