CONGREGATIONAL
 STATE CONVENTION

 At D. m. the meeting of the Mis- sionary society of Connecticut was called to order in connection with the conference. The. conference moderator, Waterman R. Burnham of this city presided until succeeded later by the ce-president, pr. Watson l.. Phil lips of New Haven.
 Addresses were made as follows: By Rev. Hubert o. Herring, D. D., of New York, general seer stary c. H. M. &, upon Aggressive Congregationalism by Rev. Harry D. Peabody of Hartford and Samuel H Williams. superinten- dent of the Sunday School association upon Evangelism"
 A meeting of the conference for bus mess deferred from the morning ses- sion was also held. Reports of com nittees were received. The absence of a report from the committee on Sun day observance and moral legislation called forth an emphatic demand from several delegates for an active com mittee next year.
 Among committees whose appoint ment was voted were the following: To consider and report on advisability of increasing pastors salaries, to name delegates to the Edinburgh convention, to bring before the ministers the re-

GALL IS UNANIMOUS
Rev. Francis T. Brown Accepts a Request to Remain
 Another Year.

At a special meeting of the direc- tors of tho First Methodist Episcopal church, which was held last Sunday. and which was attended by all the members, a unanimous call was ex- tended on behalf of the church to the present pastor the Rev. Francis IT. Brown, to remain as pastor of the church for another year. The ballot. which was taken first as a caucus on the matter, was a unanimous one, and this was followed by unanimous rat- ification on the general meeting bal- lot, which was taken as a matter of form later.
 A committee from the directors consisting of Dean Henry Wade Rog- CTS, of the Yale Law school: w. c Lotze and Frank J. Wright. was chosen to wait upon the Rev. MT Brown and notify him of the action of the directors The committee per- formed its mission Monday evening. and after notification had been ex- tended to MT, Brown the pastor for mally announced that he would gladly accept the hearty call to remain with the church another year. This de- cision on the part of Mir. Brown will be received with a great deal of pleasure by the members of his church, as he has been a most ponu- lar and sincerely liked head of the church, and this will be especjallv pleasant news to them in view of the fact that the Rev. Mir. Brown has had a number of calls from other churches to take up work with them. which have been set aside by his acceptance here.
 The acceptance of this call will keep him with the First Methodist church here until the spring of 1900 at the least. MT. Brown is now com pleting his third year with the church, and the new call is for his fourth year here, which shows the an- preciation which his church peonIe have of him, and their regard for their pastor.
 During his pastorate the church has enjoyed a very successful period of its existence. There have been. in the two and half years that he has baen in charge, ninety new members taken into the church, and some $50 GOO bae been contributed to be used by the church for all purposes.

opinion of their fellow dealers, pay their initiation fee and then get the anvil going.
 Rockville furnishes a pretty good instance of the general situation in this respect, just now The wide awake dealers in that town are hust- ling to perfect the organization They have been working to that end for quite awhile, and the fate that befell Manchester has stirred even the dead Jones a little. The movement is pro- gressing finely too. Paul Fleischer, the secretary of the Rockville associa- tion, says that by the first of January every dealer in the city will undoubt- edly be enrolled among the members and the majority of them are already there with their dues paid

TOKYO EXPOSITION IN 1912
State Department Favors Accepting
 Invitation to Participate.

Washington, Nov. Estate depart ment officials favor accepting the invi- tation of the Japanese government to participate in an exposition at Tokio in 1912, a copy of which was presented to the state department yesterday. If ap- proved by the president, the matter will be called to the attention of con- gress with view to an appropriation for the purpose. Japan always has been prompt. it is said at the depart ment, to interest herself in expositions held in the United States.

vile have got to carry along in their fight for the protection of the trade as a whole. A representative of the Liquor Merchants Trade Journal found them in interviewing the dealers of the city.
 What good Is the organization?" de- manded one man on Market street. 'They come around every once in so often and take my money and that's all there IS to it."
 According to this man "They" did so and so, It will be observed how little the spirit of cooperation entered into this mans view of an organization. They" meaning the members of the organization, were entirely separate and apart from himself. He paid them his money and he expected them" to proceed at once with his protection. He has all the ear marks of one of the dealers who pay their dues and then stay away from the meetings and get their moneys worth by damning the officers and other members who are trying to accomplish something. That's the sort of team work that will bring prohibition to Connecticut quicker than anything else
 Another man on the same street who is also a member lends a helping hand to the organization by prophesying that it will never amount to anything and hooting about a treasurer of a previous | organization who, the dealer charges, blew in the funds. The present board of officers is absolutely above susplc- ion and the need for the organization l imperative, but this dealer, although a member, mind you, blackens it at the start.
 That's some more of the team work that the prohibitionists delight in sec 1 ing.
 It's just this wrangling pety jeal- ousy and individual smallness that en- ables the prohibitionists to do what they are doing; slowly, inch by inch, putting the liquor dealers of the state out of business. They don't expect to do it all at once, but they're making gains every year that are highly grat- flying to themselves. They pull to- gether good and strong, and laugh in their sleeves and the blind bullhead- edness of a large element of the trade because of it's utter disregard of the trades interest as a whole.
 Remember, that if you are in the liquor business the interests of your rival across the street or around the corner are your interests so far as leg islation and politics are concerned. If you don't remember this and get to- gether with him you're pretty apt to have the fact impressed upon your mind in manner far from agreeable before long.
 Another article, discussing Triggers in the legislative woodpile," says in part: "The more the laws passed by the last legislature the more it be- comes apparent that the liquor deal CTS need to keep posted on just what | is before the lawmakers and to do more than merely pay their dues. The last session of the legislature was more notable for the number of liquor deal- CTS who did not attend the hearings than for the numbers who did. While 1t is well enough to leave the direction of the legislative campaign to the men in charge of the work there is such a thing as giving moral support by be-
