rro.bIesone Percupines

A wall is going up from Maine over
the invasion Of the state by porcupines.
During the last IS years they have
come across the Canadian border from
New brunswick, where they have been
rs thick as ants, and now are such an
army in Maine that they are killing
young spruce trees by the thousand.
These porcupines seem to be gnawers
By wholesale, for they have been
known to eat the handles from haying
tools left in the field over night! And
aght! Why, when gathered in packs
they fight as savagely n wolves.
There does not seem to be any alterna-
tive save a bounty on porcupines-and
then woe to porcupineiand. Every
ndn and boy in Maine will be on the
tracks of the spiny little pests.

Sermon by Rev. DR.. H. Frank Rail on

DR. Fl. Frank Rail, pastor Of Trinity

| ing upon the text: lit is God that work

good pleasure" His theme as announce
ed was Divine Sovereignty" The
speaker said in part: The emphasis of
our age is upon freedom, responsibility,
action. We declare insistentlys that
man is architect of his own fate, build
er Of his own fortune. The text brings
another emphasis, which other ages and
other lands have felt. Their thought,
no doubt, has aften been extreme, false.
For the Orient, the sense of God has Of
ten been an oppression, not help; has
crushed down with its overwhelming
power. Calvinism in its insistence on
Gods part in mans life seemed to sink
man to a mere machine. And yet there
lis 2 truth here that we are in danger
of losing, we who are SO deep in the
fight that we forget who sets the COM
bat. who calls the warrior. who gives
him strength. who rules the end.
When Paul says 1T is God" he strikes
the key note to which the whole Bible
lis attuned. While Babylon worshipped
the stars, Israel said Tin the beginning
God created" Tt carried the thought
of Gods power toIhistory. Cyrus was
jehovah servant and Pharaoh, as we'll
as Abraham and Moses. Jehovah called
''the Philistines from Caphtor, and the
Syrians from Kir,' as He had Israel
from Egypt. What was true of history
and Of nature, Paul found true of man.
We stumble at Paul's doctrine of cleo
ton. But what a thought it is. Our
Christian life is not the chance event
of an hour when some appeal strikes
the soul and man struggles with him.
self. 1t Is thought of God that has
stood from the ages. He proposed it
and wrought it, 1T is God that%work-
eth Whom He foreknew He also fore
ordained: and whom He foreordained
He also Called
AS that life was the work Of God in
His purpose from the ages, so Paul
found it from day to day. God does not
start men in the Christian life as men
once thought that He set the worlds to
hurting through space and left them to
their course. He felt that His own life,
in all it's love of good and hate of evil,
in it's purposes and it's accomplishments
was simply Gods power in working in
him day by day.

A CLEAN SWEEP.
Consolidated Lake Superior Company
Affairs Hopeless.

Consolidated Lake Superior Company
Affairs Hopeless.
The New York Herald Of yesterday
says that as "thedirectors of the Con-
solidated Lake Superior company had
failed in their efforts to raise 5000, 900
in cash to pay off the Speyer loan, all
that now remains to be done is the
transferring of the assets of that prop
erty to the syndicate which Speyer &
Co. formed. The stockholders of the
Consolidated Lake Superior company
stand to lose everything-the control of
the company, in which they sunk $780,
000, 600 in cash, as well as all interest in
the property.
1.-The spectacle of company capital
lied at more than 800, 10000 of stock
being unable to raise s5,05O0O0 to pay
off a debt for which they had pledged
practically all their assets was stated
in Wall street yesterday to mark the
lowest poitn yet reached in the present
stock and financial depression.
AT meeting of the directors of the
Consolidated Lake Superior, to be held
tomorrow in this city, the situation
will in all probability be eanvassed for
the last time. There are some directors
of the company who are hoping against
an almost forlorn hope that some ex-
pedient may be adopted which will save
them their company. AT this meeting
the information will be conveyed to the
directors that the last effort to interest
| certain financial institutions in their
company has failed and that the assist
| ance which was expected from that
quarter will not be extended.
Some of the directors have not as
yet given up all hope. There may be
| some plan adopted at the meeting on
Monday said one director yesterday
for it seems almost incredible that we
| shall have to lose the millions we have
sunk in that enterprise. We have spent
SS0s0oO,000 of cash in the various plants
and our concessions in forest lands
would form a kingdom All we owe is
something over sE,OOO,OoO, for which the
company's note has been given, and one
would think that with our resources
| there would be many who would will
| lingly come to our assistance /"

OBITUARY NOTES.
Garwood GriaMnId.

In the death of Garwood Griswold,
which occurred at the New Haven hos
Ipital on Saturday night at o'clock, the
Fair Haven and Westvilie road loses
one of its oldest and most valued en-
ployes. The deceased was pursuing his
usual course of business at the repair
shop on Saturday afternoon. when at
about 2:45 he suffered a stroke Of par
alysis, from which he never recovered.
The other employees of the shop noticed
his condition and they rushed to his
assistance. 1t was promptly decided
that he should be taken to the hospital,
and although every attention was given
him, he never regained consciousness
and passed away at 9 o'clock in the
evening.
The deceased was about seventy-four
years old at the time of his death and
had been in the employ of the railroad
since 1892. He first entered the employe
| of the old New Haven street road as
| timekeeper and when that company was
merged into the present one he was re-
tanned and also given the additional du-
ties of inspector of ties and general
charge of the outside stock of the COM
pany. Early and late always at his
post and giving his most careful and
painstaking attention to details, Mr..
Griswold won the respect, esteem and
confidence of both the officials of the
company and the employees. He was of
an even temperament and lovable dis
position, which won him strong and
constant friendships.
Mr.. Griswold was directly in the de-
partment of Engineer John K. Punder-
ford, and his death is a severe loss to
the engineer and the most bitter in his
business experience, and it will be an
Exceedingly hard matter to find a man
to replace the deceased. The utmost
confidence was placed in his ability, and
to this was added splendid virtue and
integrity. He could always be depend
ed upon to carry out instructions ex-
plicitly and conscientiously. liz 49,.
| The employees of the track and repair
shop departments feel the loss very
deeply and they have contributed hand
somely to a fund for the purchase Of a
beautiful and appropriate floral EN-
blem. A street car, perfect in every
detail and representing a bench
open car about five feet long, Is to be
CONSTRUCTED entirely OF wood and it IS
then to be handsomely covered and
adorned with flowers by Champion.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow (Tuesday) afternoon from the
| late residence 132 Forbes avenue. In
Difference to the wishes of the members
Of the roadbed and track departments
of the Fair Haven and Westville road.
Iall Of whom are extremely DESTROYS of
attending the obsequies, all work will
be stopped at noon tomorrow and the
men will attend In a body. The inter-
ment will be in the East Haven ceme-
ttery.
| The late Mr.. Griswold was member
of the old Second company, Governor S
Foot Guard, and previous to his being
lemployed by the Fair Haven and West
fviile road was a grocery keeper in Fair
Haven. He Is survived by several chill
dren.
