 GREENBACK OF LARGE DENOMINA-

 An Italian, a young man who bore the appearance of being laborer, went into Foley Brothers saloon on White street Friday morning and asked sev- eral men who were in the bar room at the time to join him in a drink. The drinks were forthcoming and the Italian threw a bill down on the bar. William Foley, who was behind the bar, picked up the bill and rang up the amount of the purchase on the cash register. Looking at the bull to see its denomination. he was astOnished to See a figure one followed by three ciphers. The bill was returned to its owner forthwith. Mir Foley decided not to change it. In several places the Italian presented the bill but did not succeed in getting 1t changed. Later he went to the Danbury Nation al bank and asked to have the bill changed. Teller Williams examined the bill and pronounced it genuine but declined tO change it.

broken into, for they were given the privilege of hearing q most helpful sermon on a theme always of interest to the Christian toiler. His manner of delivery is rapid, his words are we'll chosen and form pictures for the mind, the division of his thought is clear, and people listen because they know the speaker has something to say. The text was, l John 5: ,: But we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him." Some thoughts almost at random gathered together are as follows: The question of what is beyond is always an inter- eSting one, for this life is so uncertain. The newspapers tell us of life snatch ed away in it's bloom and in an ex- hausted age; again death comes after d lingering sickness, or the life-cord is snapped in the twinkling of an eye. So we are always interested to know what is beyond: but after all has been said that can be said, there is little we can certainly know. l do not know any more than you. John was left in wonder after the visions of celestial glory had broken. upon him on lonely PatmoS. This great truth, however, we do know: We know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him.
 Like Him in body We shall be. I cannot get away from the conviction that in the glOritied state we are to have body. This body is to be so fine in it's substance that great dis tances shall be covered with the QuicknesS of thought. No hunger, no thirst, no sickness, no pain: but yet a body. Like Him il mind we shall be. The highest achievements of the greatest intellectS shall be the A B c of the intellectual equipment of Heaven. The mysteries of grace, the mighty scheme of redemption, the manifold cOunselS of God shall be clearly revealed to the mind. Let us never forget that when Jesus was on earth His mind was imprisoned in a human form; and yet how his simple statements have baffied the keeneSt minds! When we come to moral like ness we reach the most difficult part of our theme. What an inspiration this should be to the discouraged pill grim who regards his own attain ments in grace with little satisfaction. In character Christ was faultless. In action: in motive, in word, in thought He was pure as the angels of light.
 One could hardly help saying when Dr Markwick had done: The vision of what l shall be is So transceudently beautiful that l wish I were passing through it asa reality now.-*

The OUTLOOK.

Irrigation Our last Congress passed Law. an irrigation law look ing to the reclamation of some of the
 arid lands of the west. It is said that
 of the six hundred million acres of
 vacant land in the country that sixty
 million acres may be made available
 for cultivation if irrigation is used.
 This work is guarded from trusts by
 provision that no person shall have
 water rights to more than one hundred
 and sixty acres of land. The reclama-
 tion fund is to be raised from the sale of the public lands in the states which are to be benefitted.. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to exam inc survey and construct the irriga- tion works and report the cost to Con- gress at each session., In New England we have no need of any irrigation, this year, for the clouds have given us ful measure. Yet there is no doubt but what many farm could double it's productive capacity if it had little irrigatio plant which could be put in without any very great expense. These small ponds which should hold the water would be of great value; also in furnishing fish food and in secu ring an ice supply. Start an irrigation pond, farmers of Western Connecticut, and beautify our landSc ape and in crease your crops.

We are told that the men who try to work are stoned and hung in ettigy and shot at from ambush. An effort is made all the time to prevent any new laborers from coming to the region and the spirit of anarchy and unrest prevails. Meanwhile the price of coal goes on soaring higher and the mines cannot be operated, yet they call this the land of liberty.

A BRIDAL COUPLE AT THE INN.
REV DIR WARWICK AND BRIDE OF AN
 SONIA THE HAPPY COUPLE.
Rev William EiShar Mar


 Rev William Fisher Markwick, D. D., of AnSonia, who has been stopping at the Inn, with his bride. was mar ried in AnSonia on Monday, July 28, at 2 p. m. The bride was Miss Addie Elizabeth Rider, daughter of MT and Mrs H: A. Rider, and the ceremony bride, on South Cliff street, AnSOnia. The spacious parlors were tastefully arranged with flowers for the occasion, and the bride wore a rich gown of biscuit-cOlOred crepe de chene made over cream tatfeta silk, and she carried a shower bouquet of white sweet peas. The Episcopal service was used, the ot1icia ting clergyman being Rev H. A. Campbell of the Seymour Congrega- tional church, formerly pastor of the bride. After congratulations had been extended the friends were ushered into the dining room, where buffet lunch was served. The color scheme here was green and white, the parlOrs being dressed in yellow. Only the members of the families of the bride and groom were present, no outside in- vitationS having been issued. The gifts were numerous and beautiful, and bore testimony to the esteem of many absent friends. Among the gifts were $1OO in gold from members of Rev MT Markwick's church and congregation. The bridal party left on an afternoon train for Newtown, where they will remain for week or two, and will then spend the remainder of the month of August at the shore. The brides gOing-away costume was Of green silk moire velour, trimmed with velvet and white lace medalliOnS. Dr Markwick is one of the strong preach CTS in the Congregational denomina- tion in the state. The couple have naturally been the objects of a consider able attention while here.

Trusts and We have been think
 New Business. ing that the trusts were about to drown everything but a few figures go to show that great as is their appetite capacity, competition is growing faster than the trusts. For while the country has seen in the last year trusts capitalized to the amount of four and a half billion dollars it is said that there has been five billion dollars worth of new industry started. Much of the four and half billion dollars is water also; hence, if the trusts lift the price of products too high, there will be added production and bring the price down again. There is no doubt but what there will be lot of money lost in the trusts by too eager millionaires. Some of them, however, will deserve the fate which competition is sure to bring to them. k

JUDGE KELLY DEFINES
NON-RESIDENTS Law
Service of Summons on Agent of Elk
ecutors Is Not Sufficient Under
the Statute of 1902.

Judge Kelly, of the district court,
yesterday construed a law passed by
the last Legislature relating to the
service summons on non-residents, in
the case of John Froehlingsdorf ct al,
VS.. Pierre Maffitt and Charles Maffitt,
as executors of the estate of Julius
Maffitt.
A summons with an Injunction was
served on j. w. CroSSon, who was en-
ployed by the executors to collect rents
on property belonging to the estate of
which they were executors. The attor
ney for the defendants secured an
order from Judge Kelly for the appear
ance of the plaintiffs attorney in court
to show cause why the service should
not be vacated. A law passed last
winter by the legislature, which pro-
vides that in effect whenever a cause
of action exists in favor of a citizen
of this state against nonresident en-
gagged in business in this state, sum-
mons then can be served on the agent
of the nonresident, and be equivalent
to personal service.
Judge Kelly, in passing upon the
case, said that the law does not apply,
and that the nonresident executors by
collecting rents are not engaged in bus
mess in the state. The motion to set
aside service of summons was there
fore granted.

MUCH WORK / PLANNED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS WILL
PUT IN A BUSY WINTER
During the Dull Seasons 1t Will Con-
slider Proposals and Award Contracts
for Paving and Sewers so That
Operations Can Be Commenced as.
Soon as the Frost lis Out of the
Ground.

Between street paving and sewer
construction, the year of 1902 will al
most approach the boom period in the
SOS in the matter of municipal activity,
but the. board of public works purposes
to make 1908 even a bigger year.
Will Be Very Busy This Winter.
Winter is the dull period with the
board and is generally passed by the
members in cleaning up, assessments
remaining from work done during the
preceding summer and fall, but this
time the cold period will be given over
to considering needed improvements
and placing the contracts so that work
can be commenced as soon as the frost
leaves the ground.
Last year hardly any construction
was done before summer and in conse-
quence of the rush high prices had to
be paid for some of the work.
In the hands of the board there are
now preliminary orders for various
improvements entailing an estimated
expenditure of $250.000. With cold
weather approaching it would be i'm
possible to place contracts in each in
stance, and have the work done this
year, so instead they will be put
through the usual procedure, bids re-
ceived, the contracts awarded and
everything made ready for the mo-
ment favorable weather arrives in the
spring.
Makes Twelve Working Months.
This will leave the board unham-
pered in it's consideration of new work
and allow twelve full working months
instead of eight, as has been the case
heretofore.
One of the big, jobs tor be considered
next yearWill be the paving of East
Seventh street, from Hope to Atlantic,
and West Seventh, from Tuscarora to
Fort Smelling. 1t is possible that the
orders will be introduced and con-
tracts awarded so as tosallow the COM
mencement of work in the spring. Uni
also to be considered. Il
