 Dr. Chapman had preached earlier in the evening on the subject: Tho Unpardonable Sin" This sin. as he explained it, is persistent and final re- jction of Jesus.

NILES HAS POWER
Has Authority to Prosecute Violations of Liquor Sell
 ing if Local.
NO GENERAL AUTHORITY
Says He Would Not Bring Action Against Railroad Out of
 This City.

It appears that the powers to pros ecute for the alleged violations of the liquor law by the New Haven road in selling liquor on it's trains while pass ing through the state without taking out license therefore, is very much divided up lying with the prosecuting officers in each of the towns according as they are appointed by the county commissioners. Prosecuting Officer William P, Niles of this city when ln- terviewed last evening in regard to the authority which Is his in the matter stated that if there were any viola tions, as alleged, which actually occur red on train without license while that train was passing through the city of New Haven it would come un- der his authority. and ile would be the officer who woald have the authority to prosecute.
 He declared however that his au- thority did not extend outside of the city on account of the fact that local prosecuting agents are appointed for the other towns by the county com missioners, and 1t is the understand lns among the different agents that they shall not encroach upon the ter ritory of another. Under the law. however, he said he would have au- thority to prosecute anywhere in the county whose commissioners have ap- pointed him. The only thing that MT. Niles feels would deter him from act Ing outsi le of the city of New Haven is that 1t would be encroaching on the territory of other officers. On account of this he states he would not think of acting outside of New Haven un- less he was directed to hv the county, commissioners. from whom the au- thority comes.
 According to Mir Niles. therefore. the authority to prosecute for any vio- lations that may occur in this city are his. In the event of any complaints being received by him from citizens in this city it would he his duty to pros ecute. But he holds that there would be great difficulty In getting the in- formation of such violations on ac- count of the fact that persons would be unwilling to give information and on account of the limited Jurisdiction.

SOOTHES AND HEALS.
Hyomei Gives Quick Relief il
Catarrh Troubles.

Be wise in time and use Hyomei at
the first warning OF catarrhal troubles.
Do not let the disease extend along
Fthe delicate mucous membrane, grad
TALLY going from the nose to the throat
thence into the bronchial tubes, and
then downward until the lungs are
reached and you are in danger OF
consumption.
Hyomei will cure all curable forms
and stages OF catarrh. 1t is so uni
formly successful in curing this
common yet dangerous disease that
T. +. Laurin takes all the risk of a
trial treatment.
There is no other treatment for
catarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good. None can take its place, none
give such quick and sure relief and
at so little cost. Its indications is
breathed through pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, thus
reaching the most remote cells of the
air passages, killing the catarrhal
germs and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane.
Begin the use of Hyomei today and
you will soon find that the offensive
breath, the droppings into the throat,
the discharge from the nose and all
other symptoms of catarrh are over
come and cured. The complete out
fit costs but $100 and T. F. Laurin
stands ready to refund the money If
it does not cure catarrh.
