 The Childrens day service at the First Methodist chrch will be held next Sunday morning
 Children's day at the Church of the Messiah drew large and appreciative audience Sunday morning, The exer- readings, songs and an address by the pastor, Rev. Theodore A. Fischer. The ordinance of baptism was administered to several children. After the, exercises potted plants were given to the menl- bers of the Sunday school
 The annual Childrens day exercises were held in the Westville Congrega- tional church last evening. The mem bers of the Sunday school participated in special program of musical and li- terary numbers. Concluding the exer- cises an offering was taken by six lit- tie children. The offering was for the benefit of the Mount Carmel children s home.
 Children's Sunday is one of the most widely observed festivals in the calen- dar of many of the Protestant churches of New Haven and vicinity. The idea is a contribution of the Universalist church to the Christian church, This marks the f1ftieth anniversary of its establishment. The following Is a short sketch of the origin of the fes- tival:
 On the second Sunday in June, 1857, the First Upiyersalist church in Chel- sea, Mass, celebrated Children's Sun day as an established day in its church calendar. For a number of years pre- ceding, the pastor, Rev. Charles Hall Leonard, now the venerable dean of the Crane Theological school, at Tufts college, had set apart one Sunday in the early summer, in which the church service was devoted to the young, and which he called variously Rose or Flower or "Children's Sunday" The practice had won such response and such hearty endorsement that it was deemed wise to fix the second Sunday in June as a permanent Children's Festival Sunday.
 No attempt was made at the time to encourage other churches to join in the custom, but the beauty of the ser- vice and its eminent fitness and uti- lity, appealed to neighboring churches of our faith, and five years later it was generally observed in and around Bos- ton, and in 1867, ten, years after it's establishment, so widespread was the interest that at the esessfon of the Uni versalist general convention in Balti- more, the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, That we commend the practice4of those churchas in. olIrs order that setapart one Sunday4in each year as Children's day, when parents bring to the altar their most precious treas ures and give them to the Lordihy ap- propriate and sacred rites.,S
 That the interest had already spread beyond denominational lines was man ifest when, the next year, 1S6S the Methodist general conference, reeom- mended the setting apart of. the second Sunday in June as Children's day, and in 1872 made it law of the Methodist church to observe the day. In 1883 the Presbyterian chureh adopted the day by a hearty votep and the same year the Congregationalist body through a committee appointed for that purpose

CONNECTING LINK ACQUIRED.
New Haven Road Gets Uxbrldge and
 Blackstone Trolley Go.

The. uxbrtdge. & Blackstone Electric Street railroad has passed into the con trol of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad interests, and the stockholders, most of whom are Wor- cester people, were notified Saturday that the stock can be transferred next Thursday afternoon at Worcester. The road will be held by the New England 1nyestment and Securities company, which has all the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford street railway prop critics in Massachusetts. The exchange of stock will be on a share for share basis.
 Although the Uxbridge & Black stone line is only about ten miles in length, the transfer is considered of importance because the line forms the connecting link between the Provi- dence and Worcester systems of elec- tric lines controlled by the New York, New Haven & Hartford interests. Al trunk line express electric service be- tween the two cities is promised as result of the deal. The Uxbridge & Blackstone line is capitalized at ESQ., 900, and has $25OooO in gross assets.

recommended the observance of the sec- ond Sunday in June as Children's day, and in 1886 the national council approy- ed of this action.
 In 1897 it was claimed that more than half of the Congregationalist church. es observed the day, and this year, fifty years after it's establishment, the Protestant church which does not par ticipate in this Christian festival will be the conspicuous exception.
 In the fellowship of this common blessing we join with the editor of the Congregationalist in the wish that "this festival may be fostered and kept for these purposes by all our churches, as coming generations, holding its blessings tenderly in their memories, transmit it to their children and their children's children.

While it is possible to foretell when the planet earth will move in an earth quake belt In its orbit. I must confess I am unable at present to locate fur ther than that it will be at some wealu point where the earth is overloaded, in consequence of the displacing of dead weights from one place to some other place.
 Any forecast to be original from me must be accompanied with my sigma ture. am not a farmer, nor am in active business. have been a student in the science of meteorology for more than seventy years.

An Outrage Against Health.

The Telegram appeals to the State
board of health to come here at
once and take such action as VIII
prevent Clarksburg from having a
scourge, which now impends.
The situation is alarming and
many people fear for their lives. All
are agreed thaht there will be an
epidemic of disease. if immediate
action is not taken.
The county authorities will do
nothing. nor will the city, for the
reason that they can not agree whose
duty 1t is to act. The truth of the
matter is, 1t is the duty of both to
take steps to avert the great danger
that threatens the lives of the resi-
dents of the city and suburbs.
But since they will not act the
Telegram puts it up squarely to the
State health board. Life is certain
ly worth something in a civilized
community and the authorities
should not longer delay taking ac-
tion that will remove the worst cess
pool any place could have. That
is exactly what Clarksburg is affiict-
ed with now and the State health
board should know 1t.
For months, ever since the great
spring flood, there has existed the
foulest pond ever man cast eyes on.
all because the county and city au-
thorities are obstinate and seeming
~ Indifferent to the public health.
Their obstinacy and indifference can
not be too severely arraigned. They
deserve punishment and the next
grand jury will doubtless hand them
what is coming to them. There will
be none. to pity them either, since
they have no concern Tor the safety
of the health of the citizens,
This fearful pond, term too ele-
waited to use. as the word usually
signifies place where water is to be
found in some sort of sanitary de-
gree, is on the county highway just
before Kelley Hill Is reached going
from the city. There is a culvert
but ii has not been in operation
since the spring flood. AS the result
there is a body of stagnant water
there with fumes and poisonous
vapors arising constantly day and
night. No one knows how many
dead cats, dogs, and. perhaps,
horses are in it. to say nothing of the
many bushels of decaying vegetation.
Indeed. it is place seething with
the foulest sort of corruption. 1t
is deadly to health and scourge is
sure to come.
The county will not act, the city
will not act, and now the State
health board must act, as should also
the approaching grand jury.
The Telegram means to see that
action is taken or it will make it
mighty unpleasant for those whose
duty 1t is to act They might as
well make up their minds that this
terrible outrage against public
health is not going to be overlooked.
