 TO LORDSHIP INCREASE

Burritt, of the Burritt Lumber Co.,, this city, appeared before the Board of Relief of Stratford in Strat- ford, Saturday, to protest against an increase of 100 per cent on the valua- ton of his property at Lordship.

The board took the complaint under advisement. It is understood that the annual expense to Lordship property owners of Keeping the marshes open and drained is $70O.

jections by parents is to be found in that part of the report where it says parents sometime complain about the inspectors diagnosis.
 But the idea! What are mere par entS expected to know about their children anyway!
 No. citizens of Bridgeport. you dc not want medical inspection! You want your children instructed in true hygiene, in clean, safe, we'll heated and ventilated buildings, with proper and modern sanitary accommodations These are essentials, will promote the health of your, children, and at the inspection.
 The frequent appeals of the Board of Health for a special appropriation for the purpose of inspection of school children and their issuing the usual scare bulletins whenever several chil- dren are afflicted with scarlet fever, chicken pox. pip. or any simple litt.e aiiment; and pleading their inability to arrest the fearful epidemic because they are not permitted to examine all the children, swab out their throats, and take cultures from them to send to some fool bacteriologist to guess what ails the children, reflects nothing to their credit.
 This periodic effort to scare the pub liC kys ~T0pOElS IS 1Or lu0 &JuIpOoC of influencing the Board of Apportion- ment to appropriate a sufficient sum to pay three or four impecun.Ous doc- tors who cannot eke out a satisfactory living by regular practice. and bring the public more and more under the control of this same medical frater- nifty who are seeking for their own pecuniary benefit the full control. of the practice of medicine in just their own particular way.
 If the condition of our schools is of such a dan"nrous character as the medical gentlemen would have the public believe they are the last ones to whom the improvefhen should be entrusted for correction
 Surely there is energy and talent enough in the Board of Education to correct any and all unsanitary condi- tiOnS that may exist. if the required funds are given them.
 Will our own Health Board try the Board of Arportionmen for a vacuum cleaner outfit for the cleaning of the cars used on our model trolley sys- tenn.
 A Western paper very aptly de- scribes Board of Health in the fol- lowing manner:
 While I do not charge all the doc tors with being gr-afters. but with the experience I have had as a newspaper man for twenty-five years and a knowledge of medico DO itical graft it would take all the formaldehyde and other disinfectants in the average Health Departments to purify some members of the profession When a doctor is a grafter there is no more contemptible scoundrel on earth than he is, and there are always a lot of them in every town

THE STOCK MARKET
(Watson. A1pers & Col

CWatson, Alpers & Co.)
 An immense liquidation has been ef-' fected in the market for securities and prices have been brought down to a level that is attracting the purchases of both foreign and domestic investors whose faith still abides in the final ir- repressible progress of this young and wealthy country. Therefore the tech nical state of the market is stronger at the bottom than it has been in long time. These are considerations that are not to be ignored in calcula- tions based on ability and courage to outlive temporary depressive inf1u- ences. With the ordinary speculator something more is needed to attract his confident operations and that. in the last analysis. is confidence that he has partners in the big financial ope- ratnrs who make markets. even if they do not make business eras So long as political considerations are as para mount as they are today, there exists the need of conservatism and caution in all commitments and more than a rally resulting from a temporarily over-sold condition of the speculation will be required to revive the market onl a broad and satisfactory scale.

PRAYER UF pASlOk
 AHRENS ANSWERED Personal Headings of Aged Saints Down to Precious Little Children Induce
 Him to Accept New Immanuel Baptist Church Prospers Financially, But Spiritually Has Been Backsliding - Hints of Dissension.

Rev. Carl F. W. Ahrens, pastor of Immanuel Baptist church. announced, in hIs evening sermon, last night, that he had accepted a call to another church, and offered his resignation to take effect, March 1.
 The pastor announced his purpose in a letter which caused a decided ripple of amaAement to how through the cOngregauOn.
 MT. Anrens declared that his new post WouIu br1ng hlm a positive guar antee ot freedom from financial re- sponsibility, and security from being Spiritually hampered by the "dissen- slons oI a few Also there would be additional opportunity Tor intellectual development, room TOT more work of a moral and spiritual nature and, finally. more pay and lower living ex- penSeS.
 MT. Ahrens, having set down the opportunities of the new charge, then sad that if it could be proved to him that his present charge can offer him as many advantages, morally and spiritually as the new charge he will withdraw his resignation. He said, however, that he did not deem it pos sible. that such proof could be brought.
 The most interesting portion of the rastors letter was devoted to telling of the neglect of a certain officer of the church who became piqued and abandoned the task of financing the church to the pastor, with the result that the church enjoyed a period of unparalleled financial prosperity, but, not improved by wealth, endured dis sensions which greatly impaired the spiritual we'll being of the flock.
 Suddenly the Gordian knot was cut. The pastor was called to a re- vival service before another congre- gation and many souls were saved. Upon this point Rev. MT. Ahrens in his letter, continues:
 '"rhe preaching and singing of your pastor. not designed with a view to receive a flattering call, but in the spirit of humanity and love in the Masters work, resulted in the mani festation of marked enthusiasm and unanimity of opinion seldom witness ed in any comm unity. Your pastor was deeply moved; not to a spirit of vanity, but to a sense of his positive unworthiness and could hardly re- frain from weeping. Personal plead ings on the part of the aged saints down to the precious little children, begging him to become their leader, so impressed the servant of Christ, that he could only suspect Gods Spirit working in it all. The peculiar inducements held out could only be interpreted as direct answer to your pastors prayer"
