EASTER IN PARK CHAPEL.

Rev Henry B. Brown of East Hamp- ton, Conn, preached a very interesting and instructive Easter sermon in Park chapel, Morris Cove, Sunday afternoon. The choir rendered some fine music. Miss Hastings sung very sweetly T Know That My Redeemer Liveth." " The floral decorations were very at tractive and much admired. A globe of gold fish with a cluster of coral be- gonia hanging over it added much to beautify the chapel and the glad East CT day. The best day of all the year was greatly enjoyed by the people.
 Park chapel goes right along in it's efforts to do good. A small Sunday school, church service and a week night prayer meeting has been sus- tained all winter and now the summer people are beginning to visit the Cove the congregation will increase in num- bers and interest.

NEW BRITAIN ELECTION.
Republicans Win Thorough Victory

Republicans Win Thorough Victory
 Vance Defeated for Mayor
 New Britain, April 12.-The city elec- tion to-day resulted in a complete re- publican victory, though Morris c. Webster defeated Mayor Robert J. Vance, the democratic candidate, by only 54 votes. The city is ordinarily republican by nearly 1000 majority and the narrow margin between the two candidates speaks volumes for the popularity of the occupant of the may or's chair for the past two years. To- days vote was comparatively light, Mr. Webster receiving 1,707 and Mayor Vance getting 1853. Considerable de- lay was experienced in announcing the result on account of trouble in the count in the Second ward and the bal lots in that ward had to be recounted six times.
 There was also a very close struggle between the two candidates for collec- tor, w. E. Wightman and Charles H. Faulkner, but MT. Wightman won out. The ticket elected comprises: Mayor, Morris c. Webster; city clerk Alfred L. Thompson; treasurer, Samuel W. Clark; collector, W. F. Wightman. sheriff, John B. Brink; auditor. Paul LeuDold.

The government has a big pile-driver working in New Haven harbor, at the middle breakwater, which is putting down piles upon which the engineer in charge says a platform is to be built. What this platform is for he will not say. and there is division of local opinion about it, one party thinking it is for the accommodation of the smooth bore cannon, and others that some of the smooth-bore orators of New Ha- ven will be expected to address a hos tile fleet from it in the interest of an armistice and arbitration.-Bridge Standard.

La Alum PoIaonousf

Alum Is used by many bakers to
whlten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and 1t Is also en-
ployed as q cheap substitute for cream
Of tartar In the manufacture Of baking
powder. It's use In bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condi'
lions Of the human system results IN
poisoning. What these conditions are
so far as each individual Is concerned
can only be surmlsed: some peculiar
Ity of the system producing q morbid
change in the secretions Of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the Sc
cretions may be healthy But In abb
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions In combination
with the alum constitute q poison Just
as two parts Of mercury and two parts
chlorine form calomel, which Is not
poisonous, while one part OF mercury
and two parts OF chlorine yield a cor
roslve subllmate, which Is a most dead
y poison,
