and butter, cheese, numerous kinds OF
cake, coffee, oranges, bananas and

SMILES AND SAWS WOOD.
There is now prospect that there
will be lively fight IN this section
over the matter Of the appointment

the district of Connecticut and Rhode
Island. Assistant Dairy Commissioner
Robert o. Eaton of North Haven has
announced that he is a candidate for
this position, to succeed w. Frank

incumbent. The Office is a salaried
one, and pays So, 500 year. The place
is one within the gift of Senators

Buckley Of this state, and of Senators
N. w. Aldrich and George P. Wet
more lof Rhode Island. Mr. Eaton's
friends have stated that as Rhode Is
land has the appointment for United
States bank commissioner, the collect
orship should come into this state, and
that he has assurances of the support
of the senators named. The new APP
polntment will be made upon the ex-
piration of Mr. Kinney's bond, which
will be sometime within year. 1t
will figure largely in politics. A Hart
ford visitor said to-day that Mr. Kin
ator o. II. Platt. Mr. Platt was a
strong personal friend of Senator
Aldrich Of Rhode Island and Mr. Kin
ney is also one of Senator Aldrich's
friends. He added that Mr. Aldrich
had stated that there was already one
United States bank commissioner in
this state, and further that Senator
Aldrich had declared that If candi-
date for the colleetorship other than
Kinney were to be brought out in
Connecticut, there would be man
brought out from Rhode Island as a
candidate for the same position. Re-
following dispatch was received by the
Register to-day from Washington:
'"There is no change here as far as
the collectorship of internal revenue |
for Connecticut and Rhode Island is |
concerned. The Connecticut delega- |
tion has not united upon any one in |
in place of Mr. Kinney and there is no
move for his removal. The Rhode
Island senators have no candidate of |
their own. The situation has not |
changed in the least since the subject
was first discussed in December"

HOLY WEEK.
Before Easter comes Holy Week.
We cannot enter into Christ's JOY un-
less we enter as far as we may into His
suffering. 1t is after all the cross
which draws men. Gethsemane and
Calvary have been the inspiration of
The most passionate devotion since the
cross was lifted up. Small and mean
minds may be cowed by fear, but men
IF noble mould can be led only by love.
THE love of Christ conStraineth u.s."
At the source of all devotion must lie
The thought that Christ gave His life
FOR us, and to do less than always
''speak good word for Jesus Christi
Is to be indeed ungrateful, and that
every noble nature recognizes as I'M
worthy. And 60 we come to follow
with Him day by day-as he enters
Jerusalem, as He cleanses the temple,
Is He teaches in His Fathers house,
IS he goes to the quiet home in Beth
my, las He Institutes the great memo
'ial OF His sacrifice in which we all are
10 have part, as He prays in Gethsem-
Inc, as He Is betrayed, as He is cruel
led, as His body is laid in the tomb.
We are called Christians, let us follow
With our Christ through all. The
ervices will be every morning, except
Thursday and Friday, at 8 O'Clock.
