NO UNION HOURS
For Farmer Near BerIin-Sometimes
 Works All Night.

Elijah Smith of Berlin, a farmer, has lived on his farm for nearly thirty years. He is very industrious and his capacity for work is something pro- digious- Indeed, he is famous among his friends and neighbors for his long working hours and his tire1ess energy.
 Elijah used to keep a large herd Of cows, and of course he had his chores to do both morning and evening. His neighbors say that it was not at all unusual to see a light out in Elijah's barn at II o'clock at night. This of course seems incredulous, but it is not to be compared with another story which is told of this industrious man. One night Elijah found his chores par ticu1arly arduous and while he toiled away the hours sped quickly by As he paused a moment to mop his moist brow he happened to glance towards the east and it was then that he mo- ticed the rosy beams of the dawn peep ing up from behind the hills. Natural ly Elijah was very much surprised to learn that he had unwittingly whiIed away the whole night, but he stood by his principles. Without a thought of slumber he began his morning chores and, as the story runs, he kept this ceaseless round up for three days.

EXODUS OF PASTORS.
Many Leave Hartford Churches for Other FieIds-One Death During Year


 Probably no year in the history of Hartford has seen so many changes among it's pastors as has 1909 and the present month of 1910, the changes nearly one for each month, says the Hartford Courant.
 The largest number of changes have been among the Congregational pas tors. with the Episcopalians a. fairly good second. There has been but one death, that of Rev. Luke F. Lawlor, one of the assistants in St. Patrick's parish
 The Congregational pastors who have already left Hartford or who have rendered their resignations are Rev. w. W. Ranney of the Park church, who has gone to Colorado Springs; Rev. Harry E. Peabody of the Wind Sor Avenue Congregational church, who has gone to Chicago and who has been succeeded by Rev. Hugh B. Brown, who came from East Hampton avenue church on January 1 of this year; Rev. H. Fl. Kelsey of the Fourth church, who will take charge of church in Marietta. O.. in a few weeks: church, who has been succeeded by Rev. I. A Burnap, who came from Broad Brook Rev. Philip c. Walcott, assistant pastor of the Asylum Hill Congregational church, who is now in charge of the First Congregational church in Naugatuck, taking the place of Rev. Sherrod Soule. who now re- sides in this city
 From the Episcopal churches Rev. Henry Macbeth, rector of St. Thomas church, has gone to Bethel. to take charge of St Thomas parish there; Rev J. P Faucon, assistant at Christ church. who has been succeeded by Rev. C. c. Kennedy. and Rev. Francis c. Todd. assistant at Trinity chcrch, whose place has not been filled.
 The Baptists have lost Rev Harold Patt1son, whose call to church in St. Paul, Minn.. came late in 1908, and who was really the first of the mil grafton The Methodists, naturally of migratory habits, also have made few changes yet. Rev. Dr. F. A. Dent, pastor of the South Park Methodist church has accepted a call to the First Methodist church in New Haven but will not go there until the begin ming of the conference year in April. He will be succeeded here by Rev. B. F. Gilman who is now pastor of the Methodist church in Torrington
 The pastor of the Advent Christian church at the beginning of 1909, was Rev. A. c. Johnson, who is now num- bered among the resigners. The last to be included is Rev. Dr. w. DeIoss Love of the Pennington Avenue Con greSationa1 church, whose resignation was read last Sunday though it will not become effective under nearly six months. The pastors of the leading Protestant denominations who have been here ten years or more are Rev. pr. E. P. Parker of the South church, Rev. J. H. Twichen of the Asylum Hill Congregational church. Rev. pr. Rock church, Rev. J. w. Bradin of St Johns church. Rev. J. T. Huntington, rector of St. James church. and Rev. E. deF. Mie1, rector of Trinity church.

OAKLAND, Dec. S1.-To make a
legal fight for a share OF the millions

Rollo j. Hough, representing two Of
Seaman's nieces, will leave Oakland for
New York tomorrow. He Will repre-
sent Mrs. Emma Seaman Bennett of
Berkeley and Mrs. Elizabeth Seaman
Johns of Oakland in their endeavor to
wrest from Seamans widow, who used
to be Nellie Bly,, the globe trotter, a
part of the fortune left by their uncle.
, Seaman died in 1908. His fortune
consisted chiefly of his holdings in the
Ironclad manufacturing company of
New York and Brooklyn, and has
been variously estimated at from two
to FIVE million dollars. He was the vic
tim of an accident. 1t was found after
his death that he had made several
wills and had also transferred the bulk
of his wealth to his wife during his
lifetime. She was many years his
junior.
According to will that he made

wills were made, one at Paris and
another at Wiesbaden, Germany The

She applied for letters of administra-
ton, and a contest. instituted by one
