SCALY SORES AS
 BIG AS PENNIES
Covered Whole Head and Neck After an Attack of Measles Hair All
 Came Out = Doctors Treatment Had No Effect Suffered 6Months
CURED IN 3 WEEKS BY CUTICURA COSTING $1.50

After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along taking the doctors blood rem edies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week noticed big difference, and in three weeks 1t was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured. used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, one box of Cuticura Ointment, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap. I think it a splendid medicine, and I recommend it whenever can. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion Neb., Aug. 25, 1906."

THE EARLY DAYS OF TRINITY
HISTORY OF TRINITY CHURCH
 TREATED BY 2. c. BEECHER.

Paper Before New Haven Historical
 SOcety-Extracts from Church Rec-
 Ords From the Founding of the
 Church, 1767--Then a Small Wooden
 Building on Church street-Meeting
 Presided Over by Professor WiIliston
 walker.
 The meeting of the New Haven His torical society last night was for the most part given up to the consideration of a paper by Mir. Edward c. Beecher on 'The Early Days of Trinity Church" MT. Beecher is the present clerk of the church and from the rec ords in his possession he has recon structed the earliest days of Trinity.
 MT. Beecher went back to the year 1767 when the church was first estab- lished. Trinity then was by no means the dignifed edifice that now stands on that ideal spot at the corner of Chapel street and the Green. The Trinity which Mir. Beecher told about was little wooden structure that stood on the east side of Church street and which gave to that street its present name. It was church for which a matter of an eight by ten foot addi- ton was decided by the parish to inn pose too great financial burden. In 17sS there were fifty pew holders and as MT. Beecher read their names it was possible to pick out many men whose work in those early days has come down i'll the history of New Haven and Yale university.
 Mir. Beecher's paper was made up of details gleaned from the minutes of early church meetings. Perhaps the most interesting fact brought out was in regard tt Che custom of burial un- der the church after the English man ner. It was found necessary to do away with the practice about 17S5 at which time it was voted that no per- son should be buried there unless other members of his family had already been buried there, or unless he left a legacy amounting to thirty pounds and expressed a particular desire for that place of burial. Evidently a church burial was held very desirable.
 Professor Wflliston Walker, president of the society, introduced MT, Beecher and, after the paper, spoke for few minutes on the growth of Trinity church. There was no special business to be taken up and the meeting was adjourned. A reception in the rooms of the society followed.

NO ALDERMANIC MEETING
ATTEMPT TO GET 4 QUORUM
 LAST NIGHT FAILED.

Alderman WOOdfOrd Put in Appear
 ance After Other Members Had De-
 parted-AnOtber Attempt to Hold
 Meeting TO-night-AIl Agree to Be
 Present-BOard of Finance Meets
 and Completes Report on Bond Issue,
 Which Causes Special Meet ng of AL
 dermen.
 The attempt to hold meeting of the board of aldermen last night proved unsuccessful. Ten members were pres ent, but after waiting until after 9 o'clock for another member to appear and thus make a quorum, they left for their homes. The delinquent member was Alderman Woodford He was un- avoidably detained by other business, 1t was stated, but he showed up at the aldermanic chamber about ten minutes after the other members of the board had taken their departure.
 The meeting called for last night was special one and was for the purpose of approving the issue of $172,0to for the extension of Grown and Humphrey streets, and the widening of Grand ave- nue. Before the aldermen left for their homes they were addressed by Mayor Studley,. who urged that they make an- other attempt to hold meeting in the near future. He said that the railroad company had delayed its work on the cut six months so as to give the city time to get through the proposition off the extension of the streets named. The expense of the work is borne partly by the railroad, which will hardly wait much longer for the city.
 After considerable discussion all the members present agreed to be in the all dermanic chamber at 7:45 o'clock to- night. Alderman Woodford was seen by President Johnson of the board lat CT in the evening and he agreed to be on hand.
 The board of finance held a meeting early last evening to complete its report to thf aldermen on the matter of 4he bond issue. In their report the board of finance states that pursuant to an act of the legislature approved April 9, the funds for the extension of Grown and Humphrey streets and the widen ing of Grand avenue will soon be ready. The bond issue will be for S172, ,OOO The bonds will be known as improvement bonds and series A will he in the de- nomination of $1,000 and will be dated June 1, 179O7. They will bear per cent interest.
 For the payment of the bonds it Is provided that $30,000 will be paid after twenty years or in 19S7 In each sue, ceeding year until 1881 like amount wll be pad. After 1881 $22,OOO a year will be paid until the payment is com pletetd
 If the measure is sanctioned by the board of aldermen tonight it is pro- posed to expend the money as follows: To the Crown street extension, $62,0O0 to the extension of Humphrey street $35,$$s; to the widening of Grand ave- nue, $75, 00O
 The s172O00 issue is only a part of that approved by the general assembly In all the city is authorized to issue S4720OO. The $172,OOo issue is, however all that has been favored by the board of aldermen The petition for the re- maining S3O0,O0O bonds was asked fol by private individuals. Of this $SOoOO( issue 1t is proposed to expend $lOOOO( for permanent pavements, $1OO,00O for a new school house in the Ninth ward and S1Oo,OO0 for contagious disease hospital.

THE CROP PROSPECTS.
Long Distance From Seed Time tc
 Half Bushel Measure

Washington. D. C., June 22.-'It Is long time from wheat three inches above the ground to the half- bushel measure" said Secretary Will son of the Department of Agricul- ture, commenting on the pessimis- tic reports regarding the crop pros- poets for this year.
 This has become a great coun- try" continued the Secretary. All sorts of conditions are to be met with in various sections. Person. ally. do not believe, from informa- tion which I have been able to gather, that the American farmer the country over, will suffer a serious reverse this year. Of course the spring weather has been unusual. It has been necessary for many far mers to replant their corn and their cotton and the condition of the wheat crop is not so high as 1t has been in one or two past years at this time. You must bear in mind, how ever. that the American farmer is using more brains in his work than he ever has used before, and that the facilities he has for doing his work are more scientific than ever have been employed by him in the past. We are scarcely able to fudge fairly, either. of the crop prospects in one section of the country from the weather conditions in another.
 You will note, from the June re- ports af the condition of the crops, that the condition of winter wheat is less than per cent below the general average for the last ten years, the condition of spring wheat less than per cent below the ten year average. and the condition of oats less than per cent below the average for ten years. I look for wheat crop only slightly below the general average for the past five years. An improvement of the country would insure more than weather conditions throughout the the average crops for a period of years"
 In the opinion of the crop ex- perts of the Department of AErieul- ture. the prospect of a heavy crop of cotton is poorer than that for any of the staple products. Some plan ters have been obliged to plant their cotton as many as three times and 1t is pointed out that the seed last used Is not so good as that used in earlier plantings Still. the cotton crop. with anything like reasonable conditions. will be large this year. although 1t will not reach the high mark attained in the past two years. Planters will be benefited by higher prices and the indications are that they will not suffer.
 It is quite certain. too. that there will be a large export demand for wheat. as the cable reports a con- siderable deficiency in the wheat crop of Europe This will insure relative ly good prices of that commodity and In the end the crop probably viii run into as much money as greater crops have in former years

The late conference at the White House of the president, cabinet and members of the interstate commerce commission to consider if MT Harri- man could be successfully prosecuted for conspiracy in restraint of trade, decided that he could be prosecuted under the civil section of the law, but not under the criminal section. This. of course, means that MT Harri- man will escape prosecution person. ally and the government will proceed against the railroads known as the Hartman combination, which, it will he claimed, were operated under con tracts that were unreasonable re- straints of interstate trade" This de- cison of the president and cabinet would seem to hardly justify the declaration of President Roosevelt that Mir Hartman was such an "un- desirable citizen" any more than the head of any other railroad combina- tion. The upshot of the conference seems to be to relieve the president of the odium of forcing the prosecution of either Mir Hartman or his rail- road combine and to postpone action by turning the whole matter over to the interstate commerce commission and the attorney general.

The real issue back of all this Jap- anese row, says a Washington writer, is political one both Tn Japan and here, for it so happens that a national election occurs next year in both coun- tries and the party out of power in Japan seizes the opportunity to show that the party in power is so unpat- riotic as not to protect its citizens. That the Roosevelt administration has made a mess of the original dispute about admitting. the Japanese to the public schools in San Francisco is plainly shown by its calling to Wash ington the grating mayor of San Francisco and the corrupt members of the school board and making a bargain with them to modify the school regu- lations for the purpose of modifying the national pride of the Japanese. It is tempest in Japanest teapot and would have soon subsided if our strenuous administration had allowed it to.

CUBA'S EXPENSES
Government Keeps Close Tabs
 on Money Spent in Island.

Washington, D. C., June 22.-A careful account is being kept of the expenses incurred by the American government in Cuba, as it is pro- posed that every dollar of that money shall be returned to the United States by the island government.
 Contrary to the ordinary belief, Cuba has very comfortable sum even now at Its disposal and the amount is steadily growing. The amount now fin the Cuban treasury is about s16,OO0,OO0, nearly 100000 of which is unlncumbered. Out of the S11 100000 which is incumbered, it is expected that considerable sum will be saved that has been allotted to Improvements which probably will not be made.
 It is proposed to take several mill lions of the total sum available and deposit it in banks, the deposits to be secured by, such collateral as will make them perfectly secure. The re- mainder of the money will be used In the, making of necessary improve ments and in the pigment of Cuban debts contracted. One of the lat ter is foH property of me Roman Catholic church taken by the Cuban government, but never paid for, A rental is being paid for 1t, but Sec retary Taft has directed that the prop erty be taken over by the provisional government at the price agreed upon originally.
 Cuba will be called upon, also, to pay damages on account of the revo- lution of 196 to corporations and pri- vate individuals. It will take time to adjudicate these, but fin the end they will have to be paid. It is expected that they will aggregate about S1,5OO- O00.
 It is proposed by the provisional government to proceed with the paw ing and sewering of Havana. to con- struct roads in the provinces accord ing to plans of the Uniteh states army engineers and 10 expend a considerable sum in harbor improvements. It is likely that the last item vii include the raising and destruction of the bat tleship Maine. the wreck of tha ill., fated vessel now being a real menace to shipping in the harbor of Havanna.

Without a compulsory education
 law the factory. where conditions arc good, is not so detrimental to the child, for 1t keeps him out of mis- chief by teaching him a trade" This plea, so often made by employers, cannot by the widest stretch of im- agination be construed into an argu- ment in favor of child labor, for two wrongs never yet made a right, says a writer in The Craftsman. In states permitting the employment of chi!- dren and having no compulsory edu- cation law. obviously the thing to do is to get such a law. Every state in the union at present has a child labor law of some kind, except one whose legislature now has such a bill before 1t, which is quite certain to become a law. The horrible abuse of children
 in the early days of the factory sys- tems forms OBe of the darkest pages in English history. The demand for child workers which came with the application of steam to machinery. during the last years of the eigh- teenth century. was too great to be normally supplied. Almshouses and orphan asylums were filled with ehil- dren who were a burden and an sx- pense to the state. and managers took advantage of the chance to reduce the number of inmates.
