INTERESTING SERVICES
Held at the New Mission House on Or

Held at the New Mission House on Or
 ange Street.
 The City Missionary association is certainly to be congratulated, not only upon it's fine new building on Orange street, but also on the successful in- auguration of it's work there. Moving in on the first day of the present month, and before the work upon the building has been fully completed, it's regular Sunday and week day exercises are now in full operation and a cur rent of mission activity plainly felt by all who visit the building.
 Nine services were held Sunday at the Mission house, including those in the Swedish and Italian languages. Sunday evening between two and three hundred people came through the storm to attend the service. Rev. Dr. Smyth, the president of the organiza- tion, presided. The different speakers were introduced by Rev. MT. Mossman, the general superintendent and mission ary pastor at the Mission house, and included Judge Celaveland, Mrs, H. G. Newton, Miss Ida M Adams, W. H. Bowden, Walter H. Perry, Yale 1901, and Donald k. Johnston, Yale 1903, each of whom represented a different section of the work of the Missionary | association.
 Professor Sanders of the Yale Divini- ty school was to have spoken of the | work of the theological students at the City Mission, but being obliged to be | absent from town sent instead his hearty approval of the work and his | confident expectation of increasingly l good results with the new building as ! center. Rev. MT. Stokes, secretary of Yale university, came in at the ] latter part of the exercises, after his service at St. PauTs, and gave a hearty, ringing congrattlation to the
 association on it's possesson of such
 excellent possibilities for doing good
 work Some had thought that the l churches might be expected to do it
 but as long as they did not do it, the city of New Haven was fortunate ir l having such an organization that would undertake it. Undenominational in its | character and distinctly broad in its

A PETITION TO ROOSEVELT
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) ants of the men who threw the tea into Boston harbor will sit tamely by while their families freeze to death, simply because government has allowed few men to get control of the bounties of nature which God intended for all; therefore, we, the regularly appointed governing body of the oldest city of New England, request that you make use of the authority invested in your position as our chief executive to im- mediately declare the coal lands to be public property, after due compensa- ton, and to have them held so and worked by the government just as Abraham Lincoln rose superior to a greater difficulty in emancipating the slaves"
 The majority report was signed by Aldermen Trueman, Sprightly and Frederick, and the majority report by George w. Robinson, s. Fred Strong, D. G. Carmichael, Daniel F. Kelly and E. H. Sperry.
 Tn the majority report the president was requested to continue to use every effort to immediately cause the mines to be worked and the supply of coal put upon the market. It stated that the question was not one between the op- erators and the miners, but as to whether or not the people shall suffer and be without that which is absolute ly necessary for existence .&e- '- r-' eE'

methods and plans Of work, it gave a most desirable meeting ground where all could join in work by all and for all. It should be considered one of the
 preferred charities of the city and as such be generously supported. As an officer of Yale university he was deeply interested in the successful endeavOr
 of the college men of the Berkeley as- sOciation to maintain on mission ground the Berkeley Mems club, which was doing quite as much good to the col lege men as they were trying to do for their workInen fellow members of the club. In these days of struggle be- tween organized labor and organized capital, it was most helpful, for what would otherwise be diverse elements, to get together in this way and thereby come to understand each other better and then to work together for the best results.
 Others who took part in the evening s exercises were Rev. Stewart Means,
 rector of St. Johns Episcopal church,
 who read the Scripture lesson, and Rev. George F. Prentiss, pastor of the

 The auditorium was furnished with | new settee chairs and brilliantly light | ed with four large Humphrey arc | lights, the gift of the New Haven Gas Light company. Upon the platform

 c. H. PARKHURST.

Johann Hoff's Extract has been used from one end of the world to the other ever since Is47. It has a record that no other remedy can equal.
 Johann Hoff's Extract is tor people who need strength, those who are run down and overworked. 1t is not a stimu,ant--it has no reaction, it is a true tonic, a nutrient, food-you $etain what you gain by its use. It makes healthy blood and flesh. It is of special value to women; building up the entire system and helping nature to throw off dangerous catarrhal secre- tions. It searches out the weak parts and strengthens them.
 Dr. l. V. Littell, of Lafayette, Ind, writes: II have prescribed Johann Hoff's Extract and find in it all the re- quirements of true nutritive tonic and tissue builder"
 Sufferers from nervousness find a real help in Johann Hoff's Extract. It makes strong, steady nerves by strengthening the entire system.
 Dr. Walter W. Naylor, 755 8. roth St., Philadelphia, writes: "I have been treating nervous woman who has been in the hands of several well known men, and after had almost given her up put her on Johann Hoff's Extract and cured her She has gained ten pounds in six months"

 Yesterday was Little town election day" in Connecticut and 162 towns of the state chose the town officers for the ensuing term. The results were look ed forward to with interest as forecast ing somewhat the complexion of the vote in the state election which takes place next month.
 The towns which did not hold cleo tions yesterday were Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Derby and Naugatuck.
 Contests over the licensing of saloons were on in about 60 towns. Last year "A towns were license and 94 no license.

The annual Christmas gifts, which had been a feature for years were omitted in Torrington last Christmas and this was used in the fight for no license.
 City elections were held in New London and in Norwalk and South Norwalk. In New Loudon one-third of the aldermen and councilmen were elected while in the Norwalks new city officers were chosen.

RESULT IN EAST HAVEN,

The East Haven electors voted Over- whelmingly in favor or license. The vote stood 113 for license as against IT in favor of no license. The result was somewhat of a surprise. It was generally agreed that the town would vote in favor of license but no one thought the majority would be so great. The result is attributed to the raid made by agents or the Law and Order League at Cosey Beach and vicinity last summer. It is the first time the town has voted license in six years.
 The entire republican ticket was elected by vote of 1S2 to 70. This ma jority was also surprisingly large. Usually elections are close in East Ha- ven. All town offices except town clerk were voted for yesterday morning.
 The following were elected: Select men, John S. Tyler, Edmund B. Wood ward, republicans; Eugene S. Thomp- son, democrat; auditors, W. H. Brad ley, republican; William Shannon democrat; assessors, Edward S Thompson, republican; Marcessus Kautz,A democrat; board of relief William Cludsey, renublican; Walter Bailey, democrat; constables, James Smith, Howard Stepp, Isaac Hoxsey Frank W. Green, republican; Frank M. Sperry and Patrick Doody.
 The vote for license is a victory fol County Commissioner Thompson, who one year ago protested against contin, uation of the old method of allowing those who sold liquor to settle by pay ment of fees to the justice court and prosecuting officers.
