TO SUPPORT FIRST DAY
 SABBATH FROM THE BIBLE.

New Haven July 1s.-The state ments made from the pulpit of the East Pearl Street Methodist Epis- copal church Sunday morning by the pastor, Rev. William E. Scofield, in which he scored the Seventh Day Adventists, who are holding services this summer in a tent in Lombard street, and said that they were put ting themselves in antagonism to all the rest of Christendom for the pur- pose of destroying the Christian Sab- bath and that their theory was the result of false interpretation of the Bible has not been allowed. to go un- challenged by the members of that sect who are in charge of the tent movement. In reply to the Rev. MT Scofield they contend that their Sab- bath day is based on a strict inter- pretation of the Bible and they chal- lenge the pastor to show them au- thority for keeping the first day of the week as the Sabbath from the Bible

Of all the scientific departments the weather bureau was started with the least amount of knowledge of its par ticular subject. Independent observ
 CTS had gathered a small amount of disassociated facts and based conclu- sion, as 1t suited them upon the facts. But meteorology was a very indefinite thing, strongly fibered with bad guess es, myths, traditions and theories. It was like the German grammar of which Mark Twain complained. For every page of rules there were forty pages of exceptions. When the weath- CT bureau was started it was with lit tie worth while. It had to map out a campaign of study, and there was no way of telling how long it might be before the study would permit of the laying down of rules. Every one knows that the bureau is far more eff cient than it Nas It is getting the hang of the weather, learning it's null titudinous tricks, its coyness and treachery It lis in the nature of the case a slow afair-Toledo Blade.

Work Rushed On Harlem Branch Of
  New Haven Road

The electrical equipment of the Harlem River branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road says the New York Times. is we'll advanced. The concrete founda- tions have been laid throughout the twelve miles, between Harlem river and New Rochelle, and on Monday the erection of the lattice pillars was commenced in the stretch through Pelham Bay Park. Overhead cross girders will connect the pillars on either side of the tracks, and these will support the electric wires. It is expected that the work will be com pleted so that electric trains can be run to the Harlem river in October.
 The company has completed on it's Harlem branch what is probably the finest railroad improvement in the east It consists of six tracks ballast ed with cracked bluestone, with ex- tra long concrete platforms for local and express trains at each station and subways to station and street. The stations are of artistic design, each one being in different style of architecture. The one at Barlow in Pelham. Bay park is of graystone, with a green fluted Spanish tile roof.
 Of the twelve miles about ten mil es trains, morning and evening, make the run between Harlem river and New Rochelle in eighteen minutes The line is divided into three zones, on any one of which the fare is but five cents. The first zone runs from Harlem river to West Farms, the sec on from West Farms to Barlow, and the third from .Bartow to New Ro- chelle Thus the fare is but 15 cents from New Rochelle to Harlem river, E cents a mile. At Harlem river direct connection is made with the Third avenue elevated, and the fare of five cents which used to be charg- ed for crossing the river has been abolished.
 The terminal facilities at Harlem river are very poor for so fine a road, but it is generally believed that a suitable station will be erected here, especially if, as seems probable, the main line trains are to run over the branch to Harlem river when the electric equipment is installed
 On Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays the traffic IS so great that although eight-car trains cap- able of seating 800 passengers are run, these are overcrowded, and it s necessary to run specials between West Farms and Barlow to accommo- date the great crowds bound for Pel- ham Bay park the city's great pleas ure ground of 1,756' acres on Long Island sound
