CAMP MEETING CLOSED.
Poor Railroad Facilities Cause @ De-
 crease in Attendance.

Poor Railroad Facilities Cause De- crease In Attendancs.
 The services at the historic camp ground were turned into the regular camp meeting type of meeting on Wed nesdsy evening. when Colonel and Mrs. Lindsay took charge of service of great interest. Mrs. Lindsay. formerly widely kncvn in the work of Salvation Army and American Volunteers, proved to be a most gifted speaker. On this and the succeeding nights in the Tabernacle the evangelistic services resulted in a nun. Der of conversions.
 Thursday was day of disappointment as far as the expected crowds were con- cerned, for the break down of the train service made 1t utterly impossible for those who desired to attend services to reach the grounds. One of the chief drawbacks, indeed. to the popularity of Pine Grove for religious summer as- sembly has been the diminishing faoii- ties afforded by the railroad companies. However, the sermons of Revs. J. w. Naramore and w. l.. Cadman and the sweet singing of the lady evangelist fully repaid those who braved the difficulties.
 The audiences again on Friday were perhaps smaller than last year. The Rev. E. H. Carr of Lenox gave most excellent sermon in the morning and Rev. pr. Davis of Poughkeepsie in an address specially aimed at the ministers gave a useful deliverance in the after noon.
 The Young Peoples meetings were conducted by Mrs E. T. Byles of North Egremont, whose gracious presence and winsome messages were delight to all.
 Sunday was the great day. Rev. Dr. Wilson. presiding elder of the Kingston district, preached great sermon on The Manifestations of God. A large audi ence heard him with intense pleasure and great profit. A larger audience still gathered to hear Rev Dr. A. k. Barnett of New York city, who is most gifted speaker and who delivered sermon on 1.-The Cure for the Restlessness of the Life"
 A pleasing feature of the meetings this year was the absence of admission fees for teams, and the people who were present gave generously toward the ex- penses of the meetings. The services were of a very high order. the sermons as whole worthy of the occasion, and we hope the day is still far distant when Pine Grove will cease to be camp meet ing ground as we'll as most popular summer vacation resort.
 The officers for next year were elected as follows: l.. Colt of Winsted. president; Rev T. R. Wallace of Canaan, secretary, and J. E. Dean of Winsted, treasurer.
 It is expected that next year features similar to the Chsutauqua assemblies will be introduced and the summer as- sembly sessions extended over a greater period of time than one week.

MIND UNBALANCEDj
 TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
SAD END OF A SALtSBuRf MAN
Robert Elliott of Salisbury Shoots Himself Through the Heart with a ResoIver-Body R Found in a Swamp The Act was not WheAs Unan- iiripated.

Robert Elliott, aged 39 years, com nIatted suicide Friday morning, near his home in Salisbury, by shooting himself through the heart with revolver-
 1t was his habit to rise early and on this morning he rose at 8 o'clock and, as was his wont, left the house. He did not return to breakfast and the family becoming alarmed by his absence, started out in search of him. In swamp not far from the house, they found his body and beside it was the revolver with which be took his life.
 The proper authorities were notified the body removed to the house and undertaken I. P. Hornbeek of Falls Village called.
 The funeral was held Saturday at his late residence, the Rev. J. o. Goddard of Salisbury officiating, and the remains were inferred in the Salisbury cemetery
 The deceased is survived by wife and three children.
 The cause aseribed is temporary in sanity. For some time he had been more or less mentally unbalanced al times and his sad end was net entirely surprising to his friends.
 He was formerly tea salesman and was well known in Salisbury and the surrounding villages. Some weeks ago he disposed of his route to a Lakeville man and since that time had been de voting large part of his time to the settlement of the late Mrs. Belcher' $ estate of which he was the administrator.

Big BAGGAGE TRUCKS

Powerful and Easily Controlled Ma
chimes Vow In Use In the Broad
Street Station, Philadelphia.

There have been placed In use In
the Broad street station OF the Penn

gage and mail trucks which are I'm
themselves miniature automobiles.
Those in use now are, In q sense,
experimental. but the satisfaction
which they have given points clearly
70 the fact that they viii ultimately
take the place OF the old hand-pulled
trucks In the larger stations.
Every passenger IL vitality interest.

larry In having It go on the same
train thstfHe does, and reach Its des.
tinations him, rather than ones orr
two trains afterward. This 10 one of
the conditions which led to the de
velopment Of these new automatic
trucks. It often happens that a pas
senger doesn't deliver his trunk In
the baggage o until FIVE minutes
iot t11G bthOtS tahtGs ahu st6 he
expects to have them In the baggage
car before the train leaves. What
this a In the great Broad street
station may be readily realized, for
their are In the neighborhood of six
hundred trains a day entering and
leaving the station, each carrying Its
share OF baggage which must be
Z promptly cared for.
1t Is not an uncommon thing to see
: several baggage porters pushing and
Juggling al one ordinary heavily load.
: ed hand truck In their effort to deliver
; its burden within the allotted time.
; Today n may be attracted by q
; heavily loaded truck running along
at a good speed and controlled wholly
n by a man who holds the tongue and
" guides 1t simply by pushing a button
as easily as he would If he we're &C
tually pulling the load.
r OF course. this Improvement makes
!. easy work for the men who handl,
, the trucks and they very thorough!
appreciate It, for II enables them t,

;, without danger Of overstraining them
selves or of being entirely worn gu

the trucks is similar to that of tn
old hand-pulled affairs. but beneat'

In order to do work SATISFACTORY,
these trucks must be safe. The
