MILL PLAIN WANTS
Think Highway In That Locality
Needs Repairs.

Mill Plain folks are modest In their
demands upon the city fathers, but
what they ask, they intend to receive,
or know the reason why. They don't
think the time ripe for sidewalks out
that way and they are not looking
for them, but they do want something
done with the highways The Meriden
road has been" laid out to point be-
You'd the school, a distance of about
three-quarters of mile, but they don't
expect to see the street worked to its
full width this season and sidewalks
ordered laid thereon. What they
would like to see taken hold of as
soon as the frost gets out Of the
ground is the hill near the school and
chapel and cart the dirt from there
and dump it in the hollow south of
the Frey homestead. This and some
repairs on the Frost road are greatly
needed and include practically what
is really necessary i'll that immediate
neighborhood for the present. OF
course there are other streets in that
section that need attention and the
residents feel that they will be at
tended to in due season.

Bartender Had Sentence Suspended
By Judge Burpee.

Kelminis Ylinski and Charles
Matakwitis entered the saloon at TAG
Bank street last evening and proceed
ed to have fun with the bartender,
Harry Hirsh. Harry is something of
a fighter and after landing heavily
on the right eye of Ylinski, he threw
the other fellow bodily from the wine

for fight when Officers Healy and
Fitzgerald arrived. All three were
arrested and brought to the station.
In the city court to-day before Judge
Burpee sentence was suspended in
Hirsh's case while the others accus-
ed were fined 81 and costs which they
paid.
Joseph Kelly was arrested last ev-
ening for drunkenness. Kelly said he
was drunk and he wasn't. He ad-
mitted being intoxicated but he de-
clared he was intoxicated from
troubles and not from drink. He was
given thirty days in Jail. He took an
appeal under bonds of $500.
Fiorandi Rienna, girl of Is, resid-
ing in the east end, was arrested this
morning by Detective Keegan. The
girl is incorrigible and as her par
ents have been unable to do anything
with her of late, warrant was made
out for her arrest.

GROWTH OF POSTAL SERVICE.
Interesting Facts From the Report
of the Auditor.

The report of the auditor of the
postoffice department, which has re-
Gently been issued, contains several
items of information that are of in
terest not only to postoffice officials.
but to the general public as well, as
they tell of the rapid growth of ths
postal system, as follows:
THE government growth OF the
postal service continues In all
probability both the receipts and the
expenditures for the ensuing fiscal
year will exceed $500. 900, 900. In
1890 the receipts were sixty mill
lions. expenditures sixty-six millions,
with a deficit of about five and ono-
half millions: by 1907 this had IN
creased three-fold. the receipts being
one hundred and eighty-three mil.
lions. expenditures one hundred and
ninety millions. while the deficit was
only about six and one-half millions.
II Is gratifying to note that while
the expenses are three times ~
great, the deficit remains substan.
tally the same as Il was seventeen
years ago. The loss during 1907 By
bad debts. burglary, etc. was oui7
two-hundredths of per cent, which
emphasizes the untiring and SUGGEST
full efforts of this ONCE in correcting
balances due the United States.
OF the money order business the
following is stated in part:
Within the fiscal year 1907, 7ai,-

OUR SCHOOL EXITS


The death of IT'S children in a fire
in school building at Cleveland, has
set people thinking about exits in
such structures, but after a day or
two it will be forgotten and nothing
will be heard about it again until
something else happens. A man who
is somewhat familiar with the schools
of Waterbury said to-day that the
exits are inadequate, but that they
are better than in many of the
other large buildings about town.

did he attach himself TO any reform,

OF the prosposal for civic reform;

III bankers shoule not be required

Why not say that banks should not

also that the federal government

ANOTHER CHURCH UNION.

HE movement for the uniting Of religious
Il denominations has received an impetus in
Chicago, where plan is being considered for the
amalgamaton of three denominations the Bap-
fists, the Disciples OF Christ and the Free-will
Baptists. The proposal for union came before
conference called TO consider that subject along
with other matters The National Baptist Con-
vention is in session in Chicago, but without au-
thority to act in the matter and the subject has
taken the form of general consideration. The
proposals for union were discussed with enthusi-
asm.
During the discussion it developed that the
movement has made much progress One speaker
declared that every State excepting one which
had held a Baptist convention this year had pro-
nounced for the union The president of the
General Convention of the Freewi Baptists
stated that his denomination was ready to become
known as plain Baptsts. If united, the new de-
nomination would be one of the strongest in the
country.
According to statistics of religious denomina-
tons, the total number of Baptists in this country
is sI4o770 the great bulk of whom are the
Regular Baptists of the North and the South and
the colored Baptsts. The Regular Baptists
South are the largest branch, having almost
100000, while there are more than 100000
Northern Baptists, with almost 100000 colored
Baptists.
The Free-will Baptists have a membership
OF ABOUT VOoDO llClS are Quiet anu lSooSl
branches of Baptists with a much smaller follow
ing These are the Sixth Principle, the Seventh
Day, the Original Free-wl the General the Sep
arate the United, the Baptist Church of Christ
the Primitive, the Old Two Seed in the Spirit
Professionalism the Church of God and Saints of
Christ-all Baptist Some of these branches have
a considerable following
The Disciples of Christ have many churches,
especially in the West and South, with a total
membership of more than 100000 The pro-
posed amalgamaton, although it would not take
in the smaller branches, would mean very
strong denomination.
