Hsreditx in the Ministry.

At the mammoth reception to Chap man and Alexander recently at Mechan- ics hall, Boston. a prominent Method- ist layman was presented to group of people as "a disciple of Dr. S. F. Up- ham," Dr. Upham's memory is fra grant all through New England. He was a masterful preacher; swayed himself and swayed others by a pas sionate devotion to Jesus Christ. From New England he went to Drew theo- logical seminary as professor of pas- tora1 theology. and did a notable work in imparting his own devotion to the young men committed to his care. It is a very interesting fact that all of his sons-three-became useful minis ters in the Methodist Episcopal church and that his father was a Methodist minister and a pioneer preacher in this then inhospitable New England. There Is no parallel in New England for this family of ministers, except in the case of the late Dr. Daniel F. Dor chester, whose father was a minister and whose son and grandson are also Methodist ministers. Do we not find in these facts a key to the difficult troblem: Why do so few young men seek the ministry? Is not the aspira- tion and influence of the father the determining factor? = Boston Tran script

Sanitation Follows the FIao.

The health service in the Philippines has been reorganized with a single head, and the bureau of health estab- lished instead of board of health with it's cumbersome procedures. The early laws enacted under conditions of stress and haste have been revised and others passed to meet new conditions. Nearly 400 boards of health have been organ iZed in the municipalities of the archi- pelago, and district health officer or ganiZation has been effected, which embraces every province. Garbage dis posal and collection, street sweeping, the isolation of dangerous, communi- cable diseases, the systematic vaccina- tion of the entire population, have all been the subject of attention from the bureau. The new gravity system by which pure water is obtained from an sewer system for Manila has been com pleted at cost of 1000, 900, and Man fla has been protected from the exten- sion of water-born disease. A new sewer system for Manila has been con- structed at a cost of $1,650,0 900, and the esteros and river are prevented from a sewage pollution. The 31 miles of es- teros have been dredged and cleaned of the filthy accumulations of years. A complete system of daily street sweep ing has been put into effect, and cre- matories have been built for the dis posal of garbage.-Victor G. Hesler, in The Survey.

Cincinnati, O.. Dec. S0.-A new in- dictment against Mrs. Jeanette Stew art Ford alleging blackmail was re turned by the Hamilton county grand jury today. It is designed to cure possible defects in the similar charge returned several weeks ago.
 Charles l.. Warriner, former local treasurer of the Big Four railroad, and who is under sentence of six years imprisonment for embedding, was summoned to the grand jury room be- fore the bill was returned. It was his story that caused the new bill to be voted.

INTOLERABLE ITCHING Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face

They grew so large that sent for the doctor but, instead of helping tho eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then 1 went to a second doc tor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an ointment which did not help either. The disease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was ter rible sight to see. 1 consulted doctors for months, but they were unable to cure the baby l paid out from S20 to $50 without relief.

PLANS TO AID MYSTERIES POOR
Movement Made by Various Churches-Young Man Slips on Ice and Smashes Flate Glass Window-Watch Hill Street Improvem ent.

That the project of improving Bay street at Watch Hill is to materialize was demonstrated by the purchase of property on the waterside of the street by the Watch Hill fire district during the present week. The plan is to re- move all the buildings on that side of the street, which are small wooden structures, and utilized as small shops. for the sale of varied stock of goods during the summer season. Their gen. eral style with accompanying business activity has gained for that section the appellation of the Midway. It is proposed after the removal of these structures, which are not in keeping with the handsome cottages at that summer resort. to build a seawall and convert that now unsightly section in- to a beautiful park, thus giving to Watch Hill a more inviting aspect from the water approatch.
 One of the largest owners of prop erty that is required in this improve ment is Postmaster Walter Price. and he has sold his holdings for $l6,000, which price does not include the build ings, which are to be razed or moved to other locations. MT. Price owns considerable property on the opposite side of the street and it is probable that some of the buildings will be moved to new locations.
 The Watch Hill fire district has au- thorized a committee to act in its be- half in the purchase of property and to provide for the issuance of bonds to meet the expenses of the contemplated improvements.

The Trade SchooI-

The opening of trade school will be the most important event which has taken place in Bridgeport for many years. It removes the greatest reproacfl which has rested upon public school education which, outside of the busi- ness department of |the high school, has confined itself to training teachers and preparing boys for college. The etudent who wishes to learn some trade that is always in demand will at last be placed on level with those who pursue callings which. although they are more uncertain, the world has agreed to consider more genteel.-- Bridgeport Telegram.

One of the large plate glass show

One of the large plate glass show windows of the L. Tuch store in High street was completely smashed We'd nesday night, and as completely re- moved as if taken out of place by a glazier and then dropped on the side walk. While two young men were walking down High street, one of them slipped and fell against the window, which was perhaps more than usually brittle. by reason. of the heavy frost, and the big sheet of glass fell clean from it's fastenings in shattered mass. How the glass happened to fall outward is as unexplainable as is a freak of lightning.
 The two young men were seen to run down High street for a short distance immediately after the crash, and then turned into Broad street at the ordinary walking gait. The iden- tity of the young men is not known, and it is presumed that they escaped uninjured as there was no trace of blood in the vicinity.

Realizing the necessity for a sys- tematic plan for, aiding the deserving poor of Westerly. delegates from the various churches assembled in the conference room of the Memorial building Thursday evening and ar ranged the preliminaries for the for nation of an Associated Charities or ganization. There has been in the past promiscuous way of giving aid and in some instances the undeserving have imposed on the givers. while the really deserving poor have been neg lected.
 It is believed that a proper organ ization will reduce the imposition to the minimum and that the cause of real charity will be better served.
 This new organization, when com- pleted, will work independently of the charity department of the Peoples mission, which has been conducted for the past three years, in addition to his other missionary work, by Alexander Smith. He has given prompt aid to the needy in many instances, and he will undoubtedly continue on his la bors along that line as heretofore. un- der the title of city missionary.
