FARNHAM'S BODY
Discovered In Shallow Wafer By
 Man Gathering Clans.

The body of George L. Farnham of the Bunker Hill road, who lost his life off the shore at Milford Thursday night was recovered yesterday after noon about o'clock. It was Droughs to this city last evening in charge of Undertaken Gray. The corpse was discovered by Lewis Bevans at point where the water waE very shallow, Bevans was seeking clans when he sighted Farnham's body. Edgar Farnham, father of the young man who lost his life, and George Bene. dict. whose son, Ralph, saved him. self by swimming to launch, were both at the shore when the body was recovered.
 It now appears that the boys were out in a rowing shell on Thursday evening when the accident occurred. It was the property of AIr Heater. and was single rigged she'll Bcue- dict, it is understood, had his bathing suit on, while Farnham, who arrived at the shore that afternoon, was att tired in bis street clothes. They were about mile out when they noticed that the end of the boat where Earn. ham was sitting was filling with water. They immediately turned around and started for the shore. But the boat rapidly filled and ere they were half way back it capsized and the boys were precipitated into the water.
 They took holl of the boat and in tended to push it towards the launch of a Mir Allie which was ailchoreA near the shore not far from their camp. Although 1t was not very diffi- cult for Benedict to go along ln this manner, 1t was hard on Farnham. who was weighted down by this clothes.
 They soon saw that 1t was useless to go along in the manner in which they were trying to. as they were mak- ing little or no progress in fact they were drifting. out toward Charles' Is. land. It was about 11:30 o'clock when Benedict finally. after trying to aid Farnham in every way possible, struck out for the launch. As stated beforr he told Farnham to follow, hut the latter did not do So, perhaps because he was almost exhausted. Benedict reached the launch and was rescued. It is thought that Farnham drifted along with the upturned snell and fin- ally became so numbed with the cold that he let go and found a watery grave. The eel grass to which he drifted undoubtedly helped to pull, him down. otherwise he might have reached the shore in safety.
 Mr Benedict and Mir Farnham re- turned to this city last evening, while Ralph Benedict was expected home to- day. Benedict is deeply grleved at the loss of his friend. The fatality cost gloom over the pleasure resorts in the vicinity of the beach yesterday, as the boys were very popular and had many friends along the shore.

c. N. G. IS CRITICIZED.
Men Do Not Give Satisfaction at Im-
 portant Times.

Regular army officers who in- spected the Connecticut state militia this summer are going to lay very critical report before the boafd of reorganization which meets on Aug ust 26.
 The army officers were, much dis pleased with the spirit in which tho encampment was run this year and will recommend that the dress par ades, receptions and governors day celebrations be cut out, and drills, guard mounting and field mancuvers be substituted therefor.
 It is known that thIs report finds things to censure severely in the state militia. notabley that the guard mounting was poorly executed. that the men were negligent in dress, that the men do not pay enough at- tentIon to their officers and that the officers allow infractions of the r,llcu to pass uncorrected. One of lhe of ficers has recommended more field work and less parades.
 It is to be hoped that if the re- commendations of this new board are sensible and not too radical they will fare better than dld those made a few years ago by e similar board. They did not commend themselves to the powers that be and were ac- cordingly passed by. There Is con- siderable interest felt in what the rs.- port of the army officers will say about governors day. Possibly they can discover in what way the militia is benefited by having one day of the encampment turned into Q gathering of politicians and the like when it was designated for no such purpose.
 People interested In the militia have been trying to find out for years why this senseiess custom WAS allow ed to flourish growing worse each year. instead of better. 60 that the regular work of the camp is lost sight of.
 Col James Geddes of this com |. mlttee for reorganization stated to a i reporter that be had on Idea what reforms would be necessary other than thoee occssioned by the Dick law. Others, however. who talked with the representatives of the var dennrf- nIent while theT were at camp. feel ssflsfcd that inc report of th><e West Point Erzdu.fes viii serer~;r ' cr1ficize the present syE.em q cc1- cnctinz the state militia

CAPITOL VISITORS.
Sight Seers are Numerous There
 This Summer.


 The guides and elevator. men at the Capitol in Hartford are receiving daily surprises at the sight of the number of visitors who come to the building daily and who go at 1t with determination to. see all there is to be seen before they leave. Women outnumber the men, but there are many who desire to inspect the H. brary and offices.
 The women are driven by a con- suming curiosity to visit the dome. while many take along one or two children. About seventy-five started from the first floor on the last trip yesterday afternoon, but, as is gen. erally the case. not all of the party reached the top. many falling out of the procession before reaching there. Ninety-four started on the last trip on Thursday. The number was larger than could be accommodated at the platform on the dome, but enough fell out before reaching that point to relieve the guides of any anxiety. On that day nearly 300 wis itors wrote their names on the regis ter. most of them being women and children.

SERMON BY DR.. ROADS.
Excellent Address Delivered at the
1ethodist Church Sunday Evening.

The Congregation at the Methodist
Church enjoyed an excellent sermon
Sunday evening delivered by DR..
Charles Roads, the travelling secretary
of the union Sunday school association
of Maryland. His line of talk was about
children; bringing out particularly how
each person must become as little
child before he or she can enter the
kingdom of heaven.
The Doctor gave a very forcible il
lustration of how much faith child can
command, when older people can not
muster up grain of it. He illustrated
the difference in the following way:
cat meeting a short time ago, Il
made the assertion that had something
in my pocket l never had seen, and
which no other person in the world ever
had seen. | asked the children how
many of them believed what | said.
Nearly all of their little hands went up.
The faith of children continued the
doctor, "in me was unlimited.
81 next asked the adults of the
audience how many of them believed
that had something in my pocket that
| never had seen and which no other per-
son ever had seen. After great effort
the hand of one old woman went I'D
through sympathy. None of the adults
could have faith in my assertion, but
all of the children trusted meimplicitly.
But when | took from my pocket a
peanut and broke it open, and showed
the kernel to the audience, then | prov
ed that | had something in my pocket
which no one ever had seen. The child
rem with the faith were led Alright, and
the adults with no power of faith were
mislead through their own credulity.
Christians must have this same faith in
their Heavenly Father. Wemust become
as little children"
