FINAL TEST
Tod Company Says Big Pump at Wa
ter Works Will Be Tested in
the "Near Future"

General Manager Reynolds of the
William Tod company, of Youngs-
town, was in the city yesterday morn
ling and with Superintendent Ohltger
OF the water department made an
inspection Of the new pump which they
have installed. Later they went be-
fore the board of public service and
Mr.. Reynolds announced that the fin
al duty test of the pump could be
made in the near future. The board
instructed the superintendent to make
the arrangements.
This is an important matter and for
lsix weeks the Tod company has had
three men here continually to get the
engine in perfect shape. Superin-
tedent Ohliger says: II cannot
the exact date for the test but it will
be soon. l intend to get an expert to
look after the city's interests when
it is made and have in mind a man
\ by the name of Schultz. who has
been connected with the Cleveland
water department for almost 20 years
Tie lS OolupCbOhb anu Nuh
ing that time has been making all
the tests in the department.
81 expect the members of the board
to go to Cleveland with me soon
to make the arrangements with him
If Mr.. Schultz accepts he will ther
confer with the pump company's ex.
pert and agree on connections. This
is necessary for the reason that {
number of things which have no direct
connection with the big pump will
have to be disconnected to allow tht
engine the full benefit of all the
steam"
To comply with the specifications
the pump will have to passtaonioir
the pump will have to show $50, ,000. .00C
foot pounds but the company guaran
tees 157,O00,00O The company's mer
have been busy taking up all friction
and leaks so as to get the full benefit
of the steam. The final test should
have been made a year ago but this ii
the first time the company has signi
fed their readiness.

David Warlfeld in New Play, A Grand
 Army Man.
 It is probable that when David War field appears in this city in his new play, "A Grand Army Man." tonight and tomorrow at the Hyperion, there will be with him his manager, David Belasco, who now has the rehearsals under his direction. "A Grand Army Man" is by MT. Belasco and Misses Phelps and Short, and was selected for Warfield to open Mir. Belasco's new theater, the Stuyvesant, which will soon be dedicated to the New York public. While the finishing touches are being placed on the theater, a fortnight's tour for Warfeld and his company was arranged. Therefore MT Belasco will be here with the company to see the results of his long labors, for he has spent year in the con- struction of the play and two months or more of his energies and thoughts in it's production "A Grand Army Man" is tender little comedy drama, with a strong undercurrent of liuman- ity, delightfully."- pictured with the most charming types of rural America. It is all done in MT. Belasco's most charming styles of simplicity and graceful naturalism and Warfeld's great powers of characterization will make the play vital and complete its tone of realness.

mTlEAH K1ESCHNAn

What is said to be the most beauti- full setting ever seen in a New York theater is the lettuce field scene in the last act of ''Leah Kleschna." It pie lures a section of the great farming district near Neustadt, Austria, and shows a vista of lettuce fields steeped in sunshine, with the foreground shad- ed by a grove of apple trees. Under their shade, as the curtain rises, a group of picturesque Austrian peas ants are at their monday meal. IA brook tricl1les down at one side and the sunlight filters through the leaves and fecks the ground with patches of brightness. Beyond in the fields the suh beats full upon the rows of let- tuce that parallel each other until the perspective brings them toa oonverging point. From a distance the sound of other peasants singing comes faintly. It is a setting in harmony with the peace and happiness that comes to Leah when she leaves the envlron- ment that made her a thief and goes back to labo" in the fields as her mother had This scene will be shown in all its original beauty when Harri son Grey Fiske's company presents 'Leah Kleschna" at the Hyperion on Wednesday, Sept 25.

 Suits Their Con-
 venience.
SPIRIT OF AMERICANS

The Rev. Norman J. Squires of the
 West Haven Congregational church preached a timely and interesting ser- mon on the subject: "Disobedience to
 Law" He chose his text from Ro- mans xiii, 1, 4, as follows:
 "IIet every soul be in subjection to
 the higher powers--i, e., to those who
 are in authority for there is power
 but of God; and the powers that be are obtained of God. CD Therefore he
 that resisteth the power, withstandeth
 the ordinance of God; and they that | withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (3) For rulers are not a
 terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldst thou have no fear of the power? Do that which is good and thou shalt have praise from the same (4l for he is minister of God to thee for good *
 ''In the first paragraph of this chap ter" MT. Spuires said, 'only part of which I have just now read, does Paul assert not less than four times that the civil authorities are the servants of God, holding their appointment in some way from him in the execution of their trust
 And we cannot help wondering all the more at what appears to be his intense loyalty to the constituted au- thority when we remember who at that time sat on the throne of the Roman world. Nero was not celebrat- ed for his lovable traits of character; and yet shutting his eyes to his all too glaring faults, Paul must have seen in him the embodiment of an au- thority that only God could give to an earthly ruler The Roman emper- or did not reign by the consent of the governed"
 It was a wonderful display of power the iron rule of might; and yet the apostle found in it a divine element. They are Gods servants" he cries, Ito execute his Judgment by taking vengeance on those who do wrong.
 You are bound, therefore" fo says, ito obey, not only through fear of Gods Judgment, but also for con scientious reasons.
 It is conceded therefore, that our apostle had a profound respect for law. and government, and the social order Nero, the man, was only an incident-he would pass away as Claudius had done a few years before,
 But so long as men exist there must be government Civilization cannot outlive the destruction of the social order. There must be a source of civil
