HAYSTACK MONUMENT.
Marks Birthplace of Foreign Mission
Work In This Country.

Many a visitor to Williams college is
foreign missions, marked by unique
monument in little park near the col
lege grounds.
For once in the history of the world a
prayer meeting is cOmmemOrated by a
monument. In Mission park in VIII
Jamestown stands a shaft which was
dedicated on Sunday, July IS, 1861, to
the memory of five students of VIII
liams college who met at the close of
one sultry SUMMER day in the year
1906 to hold a prayer meeting, as was
their custom. They We're Overtaken by
a sudden shower of rain and were COM
PEELED to seek the friendly shelter at
forded them by neighboring hay
stack
The group of young evangelists who
were present at the prayer meeting on
that particular occasion consisted of
Samuel j. Mills, James Richards, Fran
els l. Robbins, Harvey LOOMS and
Byram Green.
Sheltered from the rain by the hay
stack, they continued amid the conflict
of the elements their devotional eXer-
cises and discussed religious topics Of
deep interest to themselves. While the
storm ragged Mills communicated to his
fellows the plan Of executing a great
life work. 1t was nothing less than a
mission to some heather land and the
ultimate evangelization Of the world
They communicated their plan to
such Of their fellow students as they
believed would sympathize with them
and organized the Society of Brethren
secret society. which had for it's OBJ
ject the establishment of foreign mis-.
sions
The result Of the prayer meeting was
the organization in Bradford. Mass, in
1910 of the American board of COM
missioners for foreign missions. From
this start grew the great society of the
American board which has distributed
millions of dollars. Since the first
/ meeting of five persons its corporate
and honorary members have increased
to over 10000.
Years after the students had formed
their great scheme of evangelization
the spot where they held the prayer
meeting was marked by cedar stake
This led to the purchase Of Mission
park by the. alumni of Williams col
lege and in 1867 to the erection ana
dedication of what is now known as
Haystack monument. The cedar stake
monument became marble through
Harvey Rice of Cleveland, who de-
signed and at his own expense reared
the prayer meeting site marker.
The monument stands on the iden-
teal spot where the haystack stood. 1t

Important Conference Being Held
in Chicago.
EVERY STATE IN UNION REPRESENTED
Plans for Uniform Insurance Law:
Were Discussed by the Delegates
Reform Desired.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. l. Representa-
tives of nearly every state and terri
tory in the United States, including
several governors, attorney generals
and state insurance commissioners
met here this morning to hold a con-
ference, the primary object of which is
to consider and discuss the proposition
ty in the insurance laws of the various
states Of the union. The conference
was called to order by Mr. Thomas
Drake, the superintendent of insur-
ance of the Districtsof Columbia, who,
with the approval of President Roose-
welt, organized the idea of holding such
a conference and sent out invitations
to the various states and territories
Governor Deneen and Mayor Dunno
welcomed the members of the confer
ence and Mr.. Drake delivered an ad-
dress in which he gave an outline of
ei'N pIOoI elili WHICH IiC SuDllIllltu W TIE
consideration of the conference.
This conference is the result of a
number of preliminary conferences
which were held in New York, Wash
ington and other cities and in which
the plan of devising some means of
making the insurance laws in the var
ious state uniform in their most essen
tial features, was carefully discussed.
Commissioner Drake called attention
to the fact that the general interests
now taken throughout the country in
all matters pertaining to insurance had
eliminated in a general demand for a
more thorough and uniform regulation
of the insurance business by adequate
and uniform laws. The differences ex-
listing in the insurance laws of the
various states made it extremely diff
ficult to regulate the business of the
insurance companies which, in practi-
cally every case is an interstate mat
ter.
The laws regulating the business of
life and other insurance companies in
the various states were framed and
adopted at various times. to suit ex-
listing conditions and, frequently, only
individual cases. without regard for
their applicability in a general way.
The result was that many of the laws
in force in various states are anti
quated, DO no longer suit the changed
conditions and are in many cases in
direct conflict with the laws of other
states.
The object of this conference is to
consider all questions relating to in
surance matters with great care Sc
lect the best features of the laws in
the various states and complement
them, wherever they are deficient, and,
compile them into a model code with a
view of securing its adoption by con
gress for the District of Columbia, and
by the various legislative bodies for
the different states and territories.

For a cultured person to relinquilE
his wOnted mode of life, to dwell in a
three roomed cottage, to be clad in
corduroy or fustian and to fare stump

return to the simple but to the sordid
life. One can live simple life just as

HAND GRENADES.
st Requires Nerve to Use Them as the
BuIEarians Do.

Reginald Wyon in his book on 1.-THE
Balkans From Within" writes from
the interior of a blockhouse on the
Turko Bulgarian frontier: 1--WE are
shown captured bombs, heavy cylin-
sers used for blowing up buildings and
the dreaded hand grenade, whose short
fuse is calmly lighted by a burning
cigarette and hurled among the attack
ing Turks. A man must indeed have
nerves of iron to do this deed. Picture
a devoted handful of men surrounded
by an overwhelming force Of Turks,
slowly but surely drawing nearer.
Now they are a hundred yards away,
fifty yards-luckily they shoot abom-
inably-but it is too far to put the
weight with effect.
''They must wait, though here and
there a bullet fired at random thins
out the little band. A rush-now. See!
One coolly lights the fuse and quickly
hurls it at the foe. He must make no
mistake, his aim must be correct and
his arm strong A slip at the moment
Of throwing means his and his COM
rades lives instead of the Turks, for
the fuse is very short. But he has
thrown it well. The Turks see it COM
ing and halt in blind fear.
"a deafening crash, screams and
yells of anguish, and the Turks break
and run, shot down by the triumphant
insurgents. Down into the valleys
they fly to the nearest village, where
their officers, anxious to save them
selves a semblance of authority. order
its massacre and pillage. And the next
day we read of the determination OF
another band"

TO AID IN FARM SHOPPING
Plans for Bettering The Rural Free
Delivery Service.
TO MAKE IT AS USEFUL AS POSSIBLE
May Permit the Carriers to Deliver
Merchandise to Patrons Along
Their Routes.
TO MAKE IT AS USEFUL AS POSSIBLE

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-William E. Cur
tbs in a Washington special to the Rec
ord Herald says:
1t is the ambition of Postmaster
General Cortelyou and Assistant Post
master General De Graw, who has i'm
mediate jurisdiction over the subject
to extend the usefulness Of the rural
delivery mail service as far as possible
and to make each carrier serve the
convenience and comfort of the people
on his route to the very last degree
How this may be accomplished is now
the subject of inquiry and reflection.
The postmaster general and his sub
ordinates in charge Of the service have
been holding frequent consultations for
several months. Various plans have
been proposed and some of them nave
been recommended to congress.
Delivery of Merchandise.
The proposition receiving the great
est amount of attention at present re-
lates to the delivery of merchandise;
to assisting the farming population to
purchase supplies and have them de-
livered at their doorsteps. The gov
eminent delivers information and in
telligence, but not merchandise in any
quantity, as the tax, which amounts
to 16 cents per pound in postage is
prohibitive. 1t is very much larger
than is charged for the same service
in European countries.
Originally, rural delivery carriers
were allowed to carry passengers, bag
gage, parcels, etc, in their conveyances
and to do shopping for the farmer
families along their routes. 1t was a
great accommodation to the people. A
| farmers wife could send to town any
| day for spool of thread or a pound
of coffee or sugar. 1t was not COM
pulsory on the part of the carrier and
he was allowed to charge fees for his
services. Jealous and spiteful mer-
chants who were not patronized COM
planned to members of congress and
they made trouble about it and fire.
quently filed charges so that the de-
I partment was very much annoyed. In
order to satisfy these grumblers the
entire 10000 carriers were put under
| the ban

BUSINESS EDUCATION

Too often young man thinks when
ne has learned bookkeeping that he
has a business education. Not so-he
has only learned how to record an
other mans business. There is no
business education until one has learn
ed how to take care of the instruments
with which business is done. Day
books and Ledgers are the conveinces,
but the real tools are dollars. Save
your money, and your money will save
you from idleness, from poverty, and
even crime. A business education
means how to care for and to use
money.

GOOD HABITS OF HONEY BEES.

Winsted Man Has Ten Colonies in His
 Attic.
 Winsted, Aug. c. E. Messenger raises more honey than any other person in Litchfield county, it is believed. The hives fill the upper story ot ms four story block on Main street, in the heart of the business section. The honey bee, MT. Messenger says, is different rom all other insects-more interesting and much more profitable, more industrious, cleaner in their habits, more systema- tic in their work and lay up more for future use. Tn the fall the workers kill off the drone bees, while the human drones live on.
 The queen lays all the eggs TOT the young bees. A good queen would prob ably lay eggs enough in season to III a bushel basket with solid bees. The queen begins to lay in early spring. In about IS days the young bees begin to come out ready for business, and the hive or tree begins to fill up with bees. Then unless they have more room than they need and sometimes if they have, they vii make what is called queen call, and in due time out comes young queen. By this time the hive or tree is pretty full of bees so that they be- gin to crowd outside, and hrst one knows some hot day an extra buzzing will be heard. .
 The queen has moved her household effects and taken a large share or her family with her. Within three minutes after the queen leaves the hive the swarm is all out and everything is quiet at the old home. The queen usu- ally lights on some bush or tree near by and the family all Whiz round and round till they find her and pile on top of one another, sometimes forming 8 mass as large as a peck measure Ii not disturb they will stay there half an hour and oftentimes till next day, when they will leave for the woods or some other place which has in many in stances been selected before they left the old. home. Bees very seldom swarm more than three times, and often not more than once if they have proper room. Man has learned a gooo deal about the honey bee, but they have many secrets that man will never 4earn.
 MT. Messenger has ten colonies of bes in his attic. Last year he had eight and took off 442 one-pound sections. His prospects this year are brighter. as ht already has taken 97 pounds from ont hive and has not emptied the hive a that. There are some six or seven diff ferent varieties of the honey bee, MT Messenger says, and most of then know how to sting. There is one kint that doesn't sting, but they can bite.

 Liquidation in the general market was clearly in evidence yesterday. Banking interests seem to have with drawn support, and bidding up of par ticular groups was temporarily sus- pended.
 One of the weakest stocks was New York Central It broke two points. It's response to the fall in the 3 1-2 per cent. has been about points after d fifteen point advance from July ?.
 Yesterdays break of one-quarter cent in the price of sterling exchange was in direct response to the advance in money. It brorght the market within half cent of the level at which the last gold engagement was made on July 16, and led to reports that importations would be speedily resumed. No gold en- agreements were made, however.
 The liquidation of New York Central 3 1-2s was not so urgent as on We'd nesday, but it was still in evidence.

 Milford, Aug. 9.-A young girl about eleven years of age, whose name could not be ascertained, was saved from a watery grave yesterday afternoon at Walnut Beach The girl was in bathing when suddenly taken with cramps she sank from sight. She had gone down for the second time when two young men, Paul Parrot and Benjamin Lynch, both of Ansonia, plunged into the wa ter and succeeded in effecting her res- cue. The young men rushed into the water fully dressed, and their clothes were about ruined
 The young men are deserving of a great deal of credit for acting so promptly. The girl was very ill from the quantity of water she had swallow ed, but recovered last evening. Both Parrott and Lynch are summering at the beach. Shey are members of the Down and Out club of Ansonia
