Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, mau-that Is
the order of woman's preferences
Jewels form magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that
greatest of all jewels, health, is often
ruined in the strenuous efforts to make
or save the money to purchase them.
If woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify her
self against the iuslduous conse-
quences of coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of pr.
Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
promptly arrest consumption In its
early stages and heal the affected lungs
and bronchial tubes and drive the
dread disease from the system. 1t is
not a cure-all, but is a certain cure for
coughs, colds and all bronchial trou-
bles. You can get DR.. G.. g. Green's

Connecticut MYTHOLOGY.

Once upon a time-to be more pre-
else. in the latter part of the eighteenth
century-thre lived a worthy Connecti-
cut divine named the Rev. Samuel
Peters. Peters was picturesque per-
sonage in his way. but his fame rests
entirely upon the fact that he wrote
book. This is one of the most mar
velous works ever issued from the
press.
1t was Mr.. Peters, for example. who
first discovered and made known to
the world that the founder of Yale
college was Rev. Thomas Peters.

of Connecticut that this eXpatriate

Delaware.

Delaware has been called the Dia-
mond State. for, though small in size.
it formerly was of great political i'm
portance. 1t also enjoys the nickname
of the Blue Hen State. this having been
bestowed en- account of a gentleman
named Caldwell. who made the state
famous in sporting annals by the quail
ity of his gamecocks. which he always
bred from the eggs of a blue hen. be-
lieving that this was the best color for
the mother of Il gamecOck.

More Opinions about 0vsrseer
Of Poor
l.,.- 800.

The interviews given in the TELE
GRAM Saturday in reference to Over.
seer of the Poor o. D. Shurtleff have
aroused considerable talk because they
have let considerable light in upon the
office and the able as we'll as the eco
nomical way In which it has been con.
Quoted.
Other citizens are anxious to tell
what they know OF the office and the
man who has conducted it so well fer
the interests Of the city. The TELE-
GARM accordingly gives few more in
terviews, confident that they speak
for Others as well as for themselves.
Alex Cruickshank OF Innes&Cruick-
shank, said: IL think that Mr..
Shurtlef has been very good man
for the city and that he had undoubG-
edly saved money for the city. The
question OF salary, is in my opinion,
very small one and should not be al
lowed to stand IN the way for mo.
ment. | think he should be retained
by all means.
u H Mcleod Of Emslie < Mcleod
said: II think that Mr. Shurtletf has
been very good man for the place
but cannot say whether he has saw
ed money for the city or not, without
looking further into the case. If he
can be induced to serve he should be
retained, but II he does not want it
then another god man must be
found. AS to the question OF salary,
800 or even 5000 should not stand

it he should be retained. .-
William Barclay, the largest gran
ite manufacturer in this city said: l
think that Mr.. Shurtlef has filled tie
office in an excellent manner and

tion of 800 in his salary is a small

be taken as fairly expressing that

'.
Entered Upon His Duties
Yesterday At
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
A Strong Sermon And One Full
Of Hope

Rev Francis A Poole, the new pas
tor Of the Congregational church, be
gan his pastorate yesterday, preaching
to a large and interested congres a
tiCn at the morning service. He made
very favorable impression. His tex
was IN l Kings xix, 9 10: "And ht
came thither unto vale and lodged
there; and behold the word Of The
Lord came to him and be said unto
him, What doest thou here, Eli al:
And he said, l have been very jealous
for the Lord Col OF hosts; for the
children Of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, thrown down thine affairs,
and slain thy prophets with the sword
and |, even l only, am left; and they
seek my life to take it away"
In the beginning Of his discourse the
preacher told Of the situation Of things
in the time in which the text was writ
ten He saia the prophet was very
much discouraged because he found
the wicked in the ascendant, and a
weak king on the throne controlled by
Jezabel who was trying in all her pow.
er to overthrow God in the minds of
the people.
This was like the situation today as
seen by some people. But there are
men ready to do and dare, although
some ministers seem discouraged. The
Saeredness of Sunday has been lost to
a great extent, and the result Of this
is feared. 1t is true that the times
have changed very greatly in New
England from those of the PuritanS.
Avarice has been described as the
greatest sin of the Anglo-Saxon peo.
pie. One part Of the church is said
to be given to avarice, love Of luxury,
wealth and pleasure, causing discord,
strife and petty quarrelS. But the
other half is said to have withdrawn
from the world and TO live only for
heaven. 'e '-%t W
The church is remote from the. age
in which i, lives, and is not carrying
out it's mission. The nation is be-
lieved by many to have reached crit
ical time, when wealth and luxury
hold t. II sway. This is feared to
mean that decay will SOCn set in as it
has done in the past.
This is not the time for discour5 ge-
ment. The purpose of Christ to re-
deem this world is an eternal one
There sa practical and powerful deS-
CT plesbip tina will labor for the saw
ing of this world. The spirit of rhil-
an, r0phy was never so great as it is
now. Study is considered in a new
spirit. The truth is sought for as
never before and when found is given.
Justice brotherhood and liberty are
sought after, A better and more
Christian spirit is holding sway. A
union church is MT yet possible, but
a united church for practical evils is a
feature of promise. The world is be-
coming tired of the rule Of the wick
ed and the church must show the way
to get rid of it, 1t is time for every
one to- rise and put on his armor. Je-
hovah is with US and we have mas
ter who will not fail us. ,-
Let us rally to our work. Elijah
was OF the old world but we are OF the
new. Changes have come and will
ever be. But God is always the same.
He is always IN our side and all is
we'll with Him ED =.

wood as well as those mixed by the
painter, and any hired man or smart
boy can soon learn to spread them, not
as well as the man who learned the
trade but well enough TO cover the
buildings. Wien we first tried such a
job we received these directions which
helped us much: keep the paint well
mixed, do not get too much on the
brush, and carry the hand steadily in
a straight line" Begin on something
or some old building where looks is not
very important, and considerable im-
proyement will be seen in the workman
ship after even a days practice, and
when a second coat is put on it should
be smooth enough to hide the defects
of the first atteHpt. Most Of the ready

ton of little more oil and turpentine,
