own publication, the Junior Baptist Union, issued from the office of the Baptist Union, with Lorilla E. Bush nell as editor. Christian culture courses specially adapted to the needs of the juniors have been provided and have been the means of stimulation and growth among the young that will add to the strength of the older orr ganization in the years to come.
 And now after ten years of develop ment and growth the union is return ing to the city which gave it birth to hold it's eleventh annual conven ton. President John H. Chapman, who has been at the head of the organization from the beginning, will preside at the opening meetings, Thursday, July 25, and deliver his annual address. Thursday afternoon Workers Confer ences will be held, which in the past have proved of the most practical value to the delegates attending. Sunrise prayer meetings in the various churches of the city, state rallies by the delegates and other interesting features will mark each day of the convention. On Saturday afternoon there is to be held a grand junior rally under the direction of Miss Bushnell, and Saturday evening missionary mass meeting will be held.

OCEAN LINERS TO RAGE.
Passengers Want to Attend London
 Board of Trade Banquet

2 H E s 4 .
 New York, May 30.-The steamships St Paul of the American line and Teutonic of the White Star line sailed yesterday for Southampton, and it is said that an effort will be made to put both steamers through inside of sched- ule time, as there are passengers on board who wish to attend the banquet of the London board of trade next "Wednesday afternoon. On the St Paul is Clement A. Griscom, president of the American line and his rival on the Teutonic is J. ". Mackay, president of the Commercial Cable company. They are members .of the New York chamber of commerce and the London banquet is to be given in honor of the visiting members.
 The St Paul crossed Sandy Hook bar at 11:40 a. m.. and the Teutonic at i 40 p. m. The St Paul has q new set of engines and she will have an opportu- nifty to test them on the run across. Six extra firemen were shipped Other passengers on the St Paul are the speaker of the house of representa- tiyes, David B. Henderson. and his wife. They are accompanied by Con- gressman F. H. Gillett of Springfield Mass, and Henry F, Field. also of Massachusetts. Colonel William H.. Elkins, F. A. B. Widener and John Drew, the actor, are also aboard.

CARE OF CONSERVATIVES.
Appropriation of s25,ooo Will Be
 Recommended as a Starter.

The committee on appropriations or the general assembly have agreed upon a bill relating to the care of persons afflicted with consumption. The meas ure is in the nature of compromise and by it the sum of $25,000 Is to be appropriated to the Hartford hospital for the treatment of incipient tuber culosis. The committee have given a great deal of consideration to the sub ject and finally agreed upon this meas ure in order to make Q start in the treatment of tuberculosis. The origin al bill proposed by Senator Bree of New Haven carried with it an appro- priation of S150,000. The committee was unwilling to recommend so large an appropriation at the present time.
 It is the sentiment of the committee that if the plan works adyantageously at the Hartford hospital, future legis- latures can make appropriations for other hospitals in the state for the same purpose. The plan proposed ap- pears to the committee also to have the advantage of economy over the single tuberculosis hospital project ill that by it the cost of maintenance by the state is removed.
 Under the committees plan the hos pitals will be furnished the means of equipment for the treatment of tuber- culosis and they will then be able to maintain the medical staff as in other departments.

NEW BRITAIN SEWERAGE. Committee Divided on the Question of
 the Berlin Filteration Beds.

The committee on cities and bor- oughs has reached a conclusion Ill the matter of the disposalNof sewerage by the city of New Britain, a subject which has occupied much of the time of the committee this session. The New Britain authorities have selected land in the town of Berlin for the proposed sewerage Alteration beds and there has been considerable opposition on the part of residents of Berlin to the lands being used for that purpose, as asked in the petition. This was the bone of contention before the committee. The committeesis divided on the sub ject, the house members, eight in num- Der, splitting exactly in halves on that important part of the matter. Four favor giving New Britain the right to take the land for the purpose, and four favor leaving the matter to the decision of the superior court as to the necessity and expediency of giving New Britain the right of eminent domain.
 That brings the matter right up to the chairman of the committee, SenRtor Goodrich, to cast the deciding vote and it was reported yesterday that Senator Goodrich had 1eanings toward the lat ter plan. In any event there will be two reports, one in favor of giving New Britain the right to take the land in Berlin and the other making the SUI perior court the judge of the necessity and expediency, which of course means considerable more delay.
 The question of the desposa1 of New Britain's sewerage has been perhaps the most troublesome one before the committee, and it is not surprising that the committee does not agree on the method of finally disposing of the subject It is expected that the com mittee report or reports will be pre- sented in the general assembly next week.

Baphsf Young PeQple's Uni0n to Nicer in Cl1cug0 Marvellous Growth of the Society Since Its Organization
 Ten Years Ago.

fairly represent the number of Bap- tist young people who are pursuing these courses, for from reliable infor- nation gathered it is shown that only small per cent. take the examina- tions. While it is impossible to give accurate figures it is safe to say that over 100000 young people are follow ing one or all of these courses.
 The organ of the Baptist Young Peoples union is the Baptist Union, a paper which has shown remarkable development and growth in the past ten years, when it became the prop- erty of the union, having been pur- chased from the American Baptist Publication society, which began it's publication under the name of the Young People at Work" in 1890. pr. Frank Wilkins was the first editor of the paper and the general secretary of the movement. Dr. E. E. Chivers succeeded Dr. Wilkins and faithfully and efficiently served the union in this double capacity until recently when he accepted a pastorate in the east, leav- ing the work of the general secretary ship in the hands of Dr. J. W. Conley and the editorial charge of the paper with ". H. Ge6twelt, both of whom will serve temporarily until a, perma- nent general secretary and, editor can be secured.
 Early in the history of the Baptist Young Peoples union the need was felt of special work among the younger element of the church and Sunday school, and from this need has devel- oped the Junior organization, with it's

new year of work and for the begin ming of another decade of further mighty achievement.
 Each year since the inception of the organization conventions have been held which have grown in inter est and power. Detroit, Indianapolis, Toronto, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Chat tanooga, Buffalo, Richmond and Gin cinnati have successively entertained the union, have been glad to see the enthusiastic and happy hosts of del- egates gather and sorry to have them depart, have heard what real, hearty gospel singing meant, and have learned that religion was 8 living and joyous reality.
 The feature of the Baptist Young Peoples work that is important and that requires a place in this article if it would clearly set forth the scope of the work is the educational de- partment. Baptist leaders, realizing that foundations are the most impor- tant, and that young people of the denomination should be trained to an intelligent and self-respecting de- nominational loyalty, and to active enlistm in the support of the mis- sionary activities of the denomina- ton, were led to form what have come to be known as the Christian Culture courses. These include Bible Readers course, Sacred Literature course and a Conquest Missionary course The Bible Readers and Com quest Missionary courses run through the entire year, the Sacred Literature course covers a period of 25 weeks from October to April. Examinations are held each year and certlncates is sued to the successful contestants. At the end of four years diplomas are given to those who have covered the four years work. The number of ex- animation papers received in 1900 was 15,162, and. while the figures for this year have not yet been made up, it is. certain they greatly exceed those of last year. But these figures do not

V VESSELS sailing from Duluth to

" the Atlantic ocean must de-
 scend 600 feet, which represents the difference between the water level in Lake Superior and the At lantic ocean. Lake steamship mag mates in the United States are begin hing anew to agitate the subject of the construction of canals to make this descent between the lakes and ocean possible wholly within United States territory, and the New York state canal commission are backing their agitation with, figures repre- senting the possibility of enlarging the Erie Canal to such an extent that the passage of the largest lake yes sels through it will be possible.
 Vessels now plying between Duluth and other great lake ports must of necessity use Canadian canals if they are to reach salt water, with the single exception of the fall between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, where a choice of either the Ameri- can or Canadian canals at Sault Ste. Marie is offered, with the American canal offering by far the greatest ad- vantages and accommodations for large vessels.
 The passage between Duluth and the Atlantic is now effected by Cana dian canals which provide means for dropping vessels in locks 551 feet, the remaining 49 feet being repre- sented by the gradual fall of the downward stream.
 In providing this means of water transportation between the lakes and ocean Canada has been assisted by the River St. Lawrence, which, for a distance of 986 miles,, provides a channel wide enough and deep enough to permit of the passage of ocean going vessels. But there are many places in the St. Lawrence which. would retard navigation but for the presence of government canals. Com ing up the river between Montreal

BITTER OPPOSITION.

Vienna, May 30.-The governments canal bill has aroused bitter opposition and the debate in the Reichsrath con tinuing until early this morning was marked by stormy scenes. The Pan- Germans so fiereely abusing Dr Lueger, who supported the bill that the sitting had to be suspended, the president be- ing quite unable to quiet the tumult Prince Von Schwarzenburg in opposing the bill declared that the construction of canals provided an open door for for eign invasion and that it would seri- ously prejudice agriculture. Finally Pan-Germans walked out of the house. Dr Lueger denouncing them as 'con- temptible traitors to the country"

Percent

The disparity between the volu1nel of freight carried eastward from Lake Erie to Montreal and that talk en on the westward tripis very strik-y ing, the average ratio of the vest ward freight to the eastward for the ten years 1se0-1s99 having been onlU 2.58 per cent.
 Canada has steadily increased t1a capacity of her system of canals be-' tween the lakes and the ocean, but while the increase has been steady 1t has not kept pace with the increase in size of lake vessels. After many years of labor and expense 14-foots waterway has been provided and 5a opened at a time when 20-foot waterway is being demanded,s espe- ciallya by American vessels, and ex-& pensive as the Improvements so re-S gently completed have been, Canada is already agitating the subject ot further Improvements and enlarge ments that will further simplify water transportation between the lakes aud ocean.
 Whether the national government, or the state of New York would find the enlargement of the Erie canal ~ profitable venture or, not is queS- ton that probably nothing but actual experience with the enlarged cana1 could determine, but comparisona point to it's financial success. 4.

CHIEFS IN SESSION.
Discord Over One of the Papers Pre-
 scented Yesterday.

New York, May BOA H. Leslie of Pittsburg presided at the convention of the police chiefs of the United States and Canada. Most of the day was spent in the reading Of papers. Among the papers read was one by Chlef Deitsch of Cincinnati on police organ ization and discipline, the prevention of crime and the treatment of crimi- naIs This paper also discussed the question of the social evil and favored localization and careful control. Ob- jection was made to the paper, and af- ter some confusion an attempt was made to shut it off by vote. The con vention decided to hear it through, however, and it was read.
 Chief Dietsch in his paper referring to money paid for police protection said: "A man who profits in this way is nothing less than a common loafer. He should be publicly disgraced and sent to the wOrkhOuSe. A poor devil who steals to satisfy his hunger or to keep his family from the poorhouse is far superior"
 This statement started a little rip pie. Chief Jansen of Milwaukee jumped to his feet and moved ''that this portion of Colonel Dietsch's paper be not read. That it be discussed in executive SeSSlou or SpTeau upOH luc minutes without reading.''
 Somebody seconded the motion, and Chief Kiely of St Louis protested. T object" he said. ''We cannot dodge the subject It is not fair. I should like to hear all Colonel Dietsch has to say'
 Chief Jansen argued that there was precedent for his motion, as, in Gin cinnati a couple of years ago, a like address was included in the minutes, but not read.
 Chiefs Quirk of Philadelphia. Cas- sfdy of Elmira, and Hill of Chatta- nooga, all spoke in favor of 2 contlnu- ation of the paper, and Chief Leslie, the presiding officer, decided that Chief Dietsch should proceed.
 Deputy Police Commissioner Dey- cry of New York followed Chief Dietsch. but before he could speak Chief Williams of Columbus. Ga. pre- sented him with S2,70O in Confederate bills. Deyery took the joke in good spirit, despite the laughter and cheers. Devery's paper was on the tracking of criminals The convention was then adjourned till Friday.

About the queerest thing in the world is other peoples notion of what is funny.
 Better be content with your p1iv-s ileges than make trouble by insisting on your rights.
 It would be shocking to think that our neighbors had as poor an opin- ion of us as we have of them.
 In making up our minds we soIne- times find that the material at hand is not what is best suited for the work.
 Little things should not annoy us, of course; but it does seem that for the man who drums the arm of his chair and taps the floor with his foot, dungeon cell is the proper place. News <.

THoMAsToN ACADEMY BURNED.
Third Attempt to Destroy the Building
 Was Successful.


 Thomaston, May 3O.--The old Thom- aston academy building, occupied by the Union club, was destroyed by fire early this morning The. loss on the building and furnishings is $10,000 and there was $4,OOO insurance on the build- ing and $400 on the Furniture.
 The fire started in the cupola, and is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Two other attempts have been made within few months to burn the building, but the fire was dis covered and extinguished before much damage was done. As the blaze was in the cupola this time. it gained rapid headway, and the water pressure from the hydrants was not sufficient to reach it.
 The academy building was erected ill 1867, and was an ornamental struc- ture. A few years ago, the school was moved to another part of the town and the building was left unoccupied until several months ago when the Union club took possession. It was onwed by a syndicate of citizens.

Fifty men were present, representing, it is said, one-sixth of the bituminous out put of the country.
 The meeting. which was secret was called for the purpose of bringing about uniform and better methods in the handling of the coal. The propriety of of advancing prices was discussed but no action was taken.
