 On the cars going to Hartford two weeks ago, we entered into eonversa- ton with two Salvation Army officers, both English. They informed us they had come from Webster, where they 1 had a " station,' they also had another at Sonthbridge. They also said they l had great desire to organize station i in Putnam. A station IS the headquar- 1 ters for the entire workers, or for each i of work as in large cities. i Hartford has about dozen stations, [ each one devoted to q special service. 1 No drones are allowed, every member 1 of the army has some useful service 10 perform. Only captains or other st. perior officer is allowed to preach Be- ing asked what was the religious creed !. adopted by the Army, the reply was i that of the Methodist. In conversation i with the two officers, we found that | their religious views were similar 10 | those heard in the Methodist churches l in this country fifty or sixty years ago. | One of the officers address k ''Ensign | Fred. W. Seller, 26 State street, Hart ! ford, Conn. of whom any further in- | formation can be had.
 After a great deal of discussion and ! anxiety, concerning their | ,ity public water, the people of Willi- mantle have been informed, to quiet | their minds, that a sample of their wa ter was sent to Middletown, to be ana yzed al the chemical laboratory of the State Board of Health, and the sub stance or the chemists report k, that the sample sent showed no eXidence of | drainage contamination and k very | water for drinking purpos- .s. He withheld the important infor- nation that imperils the health of the arge body of people of that city, name Y: that any hour Of the twenty-foI ,ome of the many families living on he large surface area from ahieh the water is drained to supply the city Is unpurified domestic water, may ,arelessly pollute il with disease germs which might start deadly epidemic, hat would spread widely. Money can lot offset against the danger to health md life of community.
 There are other places besides Put nam where the people are endeavofing Q maintain Sunday as rest day in with the feelings of the ,reat mass of the moral and religious American people, irrespective ot Us Windsor closed down all places of business last Sunday. so thai not even a cigar could be bought. The committee, like our Civic League, lid not undertake to deprive people ci heir privilege of getting their Sunday or interfering with inc ,rug stores, and such like, but the ma xing Sunday an open business day To | he annoyance of most of the respecta- ole people and as the State law intends I shall be.
