Is hard on the outs, and between the

Every capable man has a perfect
right to aspire to a public Office and to
secure it if he can do So Such aspira-
ton is commeRdable, and it is one Of
the blessings Of the country. New
blood. new ideas and new methods at
short intervals have served to invigor-
ate the body polite in the United
States and to preserve and develop the
power Of self-government. Civil ser
vice is beneficial in certain cases, but
in others it is harmful. Life tenure
in office leads to worse abuses than
short terms do, and it is we'll that the

have an opportunity every two or four

AT DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH
EXTENSIYE IMPROVEMENT ON IN-
 TERROR HATE BEGUN.

Contract Awarded to Charles r. ThOmp- D.
 son-WiII be Finished in an Orange
 Drab Bearing on Terra Cotta-Old
 Pe,vs to be Replaced by New Ones of
 Onk-other Improvements VIII be
 Made.
 Work has begun on the extensive i'm | provements to be made in Dwight Plac;
 church. The committee in charge o1
 the work has chosen the design of
 Charles F. Thompson, the painter and
 decorator of 60 Orange street. There were five other designs handed in by decorators of the city. but after due de- l liberation MT. Thompson's design was selected as the one most artistic and | appropriate for the church interior.
 The interior of the church, when fin | ished, will be one of the most modern and attractive of any in the city, the work being decidedly new departure from the old style of panel decoration which is in so many churches In New Haven.
 The plans for the decorations are very tasty. The massive walls will be fres- coed, the color being an orange drab bearing on terra cotta, set off with a pretty white figure.
 The ceiling of the church will be fires coed a shade lighter than the wall and the modern panel effect in light green will be employed. The 1inishings and borders will be in light dull green and the woodwork around the church will be in old ivory.
 The color of the carpet and back ground of the organ loft has not been decided upon, but they will both be the same, the committee choosing from either dark red or green. Red would make decidedly pretty effect against the orange drab of the walls and that is the color which will probably be chosen. The floor of the church will be dropped about two feet so that the rear pews will be higher than the front ones. This will give good view of the pulpit and preacher from every pew in the church. The style will be the same as that of Trinity M. +. church. The present pews will be replaced by new ones of solid oak and the woodwork above the gallery will also be entirely new. The organ and the fixings will be repainted and. polished and when the church is thrown open again every thing in the interior will be entirely new and of the Gothic order. Mr. Thomp- son said yesterday that the church would be opened again for worship about the middle of September and that a large force of men would be at work there very day.
 A year ago at this time the Church of the Redeemer was being altered by MT. ThompsOn.
