1.-The fact that so many sermons
preached in pulpits of other denomina-
tions partake of the character of Uni
versalism, in form and spirit, is prog
ress," says the "Universalist Leader Of
Boston and Chicago, "of the effective
ness of the leaven which our faithful
preachers, professors. editors and au
thors have put into the theological
measure in the last hundred years and
more. It is conclusive evidence of the
necessity and value of doctrinal in
struction through the channels named.
1t affords proof that the. Universalist
Church is the repository and exponent
vances in intelligence and civilization
only that which is morally defensible
and religiously helpful can maintain
itself and steadily acquire strength
and influence among an inquiring and
free people, This fact is abundantly
verified in the departments of science,
philosophy and economies Proposi-
tions and systems which formerly were
vigorously defended, and which counted
their adherents by thousands. are now
either abandoned or so greatly modi-
fed that they have only faint resem-
blance to their originals. Why this ad-
vance in logical inquiry and systema-
tized thought? Because of the patient
study of freshly discovered facts and
the harmonizing of numerous and per-

 MT. Clerkin said in his report that the local associations are not as a whole in a very prosperous condition, and that efforts should be made to in- crease their membership. The pros poets for our state association never looked brighter. The association to- day maintains that high regard in which 1t is held by organized craft all over the broad country. We feel that we are an honor to ourselves at home and we have never yet brought dis grace upon the profession in any way.
 The report of s. F. Dibble of the leg islative committee made concludes as follows:
 By way of commendation we think that one of the most effective remedies would be for this association to dis tribute throughout the state circulars pertaining to sanitary matters, show ing the importance of good plumbing and the necessity of having our plumb ing done by competent men. Such a distribution of literature would be an education and create demand, we be- lieve, which will ultimately result in securing the passage of such a law as we have in view. Of course this work cannot be done without some expense, although that expense need not be large; and if this matter Is to be con- tinued, we further recommend that either this committee, or some other appropriate committee be empowered to supply this information to the pub lie throughout the state and that the cost be borne by the association.

idence, but I cite these figures to show that our request, comparatively consid- cred, is a very moderate one, and one which will, we believe, commend itself to the judgment and fairness of this committee.
 The following figures taken from the annual report of the chief of United
 States engineers for 1896 prove the statements which I have just made;
 New Haven-Vessels arriving and
 departing, S1,400; tons of freight, B. 295000
 Providence-Vessels arriving and de- parting, 16900; tons of freight, 1,753,-
 OO6
 Amounts expended on dredging and
 removing Instructions up to 1896: Providence, $716,500. New Haven, $326,000. | MT. Rowe also gave the figures for comparison with Wilmington harbor, | North Carolina, and with Charleston, S. C., showing that compared with these harbors, New Haven ought to | have had during the past ten or twenty | years twelve times as much exp ,rded on her harbor as has been; that is,
 taking their respective commercial | statistics as basis of comparison. There are many additional consider | ations which ought to be laid before
 this committee, but which, because of
 the limited time assigned to each of
 our delegation, I must leave for pre-
 sentation by my colleagues.
 I will, however, mention one or two. l One is that in case of war and an at
 tack by foreign battleships the upper
 waters of this harbor and it's tribu
 taries, if dredged to the extent for
 which we have petitioned, would fur
 nish a place of retreat for merchant
 vessels hidden behind the hills about
 seven miles from the deep water of
 the sound, which is as near as battle ships could safely approach. In the war of 1912 a large fleet of | merchant vessels found sanctuary in | the locality that I mention. | Many years ago an old resident of | our city told me that as boy he visit | ed the vessels which were then moored British fleet.
 | Another point worthy of considera- l ton, but which has been brought out | by our mayor, is that the United States | government has recently ordered the | construction of two draw4idges, at | great expense to the city, in the place | of stationary bridges heretofore exist ing.
 l As these waterways have been open., | ed at the expense of the city, so far as
 bridges are concerned we think it is but reasonable request that the Unit ed States should make these rivers
 available by improvement of the chan nels.
 We do not ask to have harbor ere | ated where none now exists, or to make
 commerce where there is now none.
 All that we ask is that the improve
 ments of New Haven harbor be prose-
 cuted until the port can accommodate
 the pressing needs of commerce with
 safety and fair degree of conven- fence.

 The attraction at the Grand opera house tonight, Friday and Saturday, with matinees Friday and Saturday, is Sutton Vane's greatest of all dramas, Humanity" It is a play replete with interest, For the ground work of "Hu- manity" he has selected phases of English country square and cottage life supplemented by the more stirring scenes of English military adventures in South Africa among the Boers. There are the traditional English sporting ladies and gentlemen, horses, hounds, grooms, keepers, hung natur- ally upon a thread of romance; and there are the exciting scenes of war, personal combat, feats of soldiery dar- ing and the hardships of the British strugglers in the Transvaal. The pro- duction of any piece involving hunt ing scene, with full pack of trained hounds, and nearly a score of horses seems to be daring idea. But the au- thor has done it successfully. The cast occupies twenty-six people, assisted by about as many supernumeraries the lovely horses and intelligent dogs, the beautiful scenery and startling stage effects Prices as usual. Matinees 10c, 15c and 25c. Night, 10c, 200, BOG and 50 cents.

Mrs. Ira A. Bass, Littleton, N. H., says:-
 T want to thank Dr. Greene's Ner- good it has done me. My stomach was in such condition that I could not keep anything on 1t except a little hot water, without terrible distress. I can now eat as well as anyone need to by keeping a little of the medicine in the house and taking it after a hearty meal I can sleep now like a kitten; and O, what God-sent bless ing that is! I have taken fifteen bot ties already, and I would have been down in the church-yard now but for the wonderful blessing, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and may the blessing of God follow Dr. Greene and give him 8 home in heaven, is my earnest prayer.'
 No power of words can describe the wonderful good which this remedy is doing among the sick and suffering. Those who take it are cured. Thous- ands of people, at the advent of spring, while not exactly sick, are yet out of order or ailing in some way. Such people need this best of all spring medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, to restore the nat ural action of these organs, give strength and vigor to the nerves, and new life and vitality to the blood.
 Dr. Greene, of 95 West 14th street, New York City, can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

Poli's Wonderland Theatre.

There is a gay gamut run in the pres ent Wonderland billf from boisterous fun to merry comedy in one act plays. Mark Murphy gives what one good man can do to amuse, and the large house last night had no trouble to keep laughing while he was one. As an ex- ample of eccentric Irish character, MT. Murphy is a success both in selections and delivery. "A Pillar of Salt" proves to be very entertaining play. It has a good plot and it is compliment to the Biblical knowledge of the audiences that they appreciate each point hinging on the fate of Lots wife when she made that disastrous backward look, and her subsequent resurrection in the nineteenth century affords means of creating the most laughable situations. Joseph J. Bowling and Myra Davis Bowling, assisted by a competent com- pany, present the play. Wills and Lo- retta, the tramp and the soubrette, are strong team who get a great hand at every show. Others on the bill are Hall and Staley, the Midgeleys, the Kingsley sisters, Allen and Delmain and Clayton and Allen. Prices 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon ten cents.
