DOUBLING A paeAcHea,s POWER.

AT the State street Christian Church,
Rev. w. G. Conley chose for his theme
sunday morning Doubling a Preachers s
Power" He spoke In part as follows:
To double one mans power is equal
to hiring two men. Any hurch can
multiply pastors influence by being
oyal to him at all tiines.
A church can double their preachers
power by being regular in attendance
II all SERVICES. Nothing takes the heart
out of a minister like empty pews star
ng him In the face. Church members
ought to be conscientious about their
church attendance, and they can help by
;iving earnest attention to the message
A preacher is only one man. and can
10 just one mans work. He must have
the loyal support of all the members II
the church is to prosper. A pastor once
ireamed that his church was q great
wagon and that he and his people were
drawing the load up hill, with the

he saw half his congregation riding IN
the wagon.
A preachers services in a city are just
as valuable as any teacher in its schools
with like preparation and ability. He
is helping to build up the characters of
the young and is doing vital work for
the community. He is deserving of an
adequate support.
Above all things a people can multi
ply a preachers power by living the
gospel in their daily lives. When they
exhibit in their conduct the message he
delivers from the pulpit. his words are
charged with wonderful force.

The ordinary newspaper for delivery,
to collect loses &c per cent OF the sub
scription money. The Daily Press, by
requiring cash in advance in every case,
avoids all losses and all expense of col
'lecting. BY letting Uncle Sam do most
of the delivering it saves greatly. This
makes the low price possible, and the
low price and high character of the pa
per are the only solicitors. This is the
policy that makes possible the Great

SEEKING THE ARREST
OF POLISH FARMLAND
Relatives Of Missing Boy Believe He
Can Tell Something as to the Lads
Whereabouts-No Trace Secured
Yet

The relatives Of Harry Levine, the
four and a half year old New York
boy. who has been missing from
farm mile and half from Hanover
IN Sprague, are making a determined
effort to have the authorities take up
the matter and not only make a search
for the boy but place under arrest the
Polish farmland who, it is believed,
can tell something about the little fell
lows disappearance. No trace of the
boy has been found. and he has been
gone since last Thursday. He was
without a coat ana barefooted
Playing about the Witter farm near
the barn where the Polish farmland
WAS at work. the brother of the boy
asked him to go to the house The
while longer where he was remained
there. The other child, going to the
house, told the mother. upon inquiry
that the brother was playing near the
barn. The mother went down after
him, but no trace whatever could be
found of him and he has not been
seen since.
It was but three minutes from the
time he was left until the mother APP
peared at the barn where he was
playing, but he was gone and no one
knows whera
came Sunday, has er deavored to have
the authorities arrest the Polish farm
hand, who was the only one around
al the time, but can get no one to
act. He has seen consta bles in Sprague,
Scotland and the police in Whitman
tic and Norwich but no one will go
ahead. he says. most of them saying
it is out of their jurisdiction. This
was the case here when he saw Chief
Murphy Tuesday. The state police
had been seen in regard to the case,
but Assistant Superintendent Story on
Tuesday stated that they had been
asked to search for the lad but it
was stated to them that no one was
suspected. Assistant Superintendent
Story stated that the state police could
not make the search but minated
that if it was the arresting Of a sus
pected person they would act. Con-
stable Mcclure was at the farm Sun
but he said he did not believe the
evidence warranted it.
No accusation is made against the
farmland, but it is thought he knows
something, though he declares he does
not. He has left the job since the boy
disappeared, saying that there were
too many bosses on the farm for him.
The farmland, it is said, has gone to
a relatives near Occum where it is
hoped to locate him.
None of the farmers in the vicinity
of the Witter farm mas seen the boy
and though the woods have been thor
oughly secured not the slightest trace
of him has been secured. Hopes of
finding him alive have about been
abandoned by the parents.

OPERATION FOR SANITY FAILED.
Harry Wiltsie Returned Norwich State Hospital I'm
improved-Operation Had Been Advised Against.

Harry Wiltsie of New Haven has
been returned to the Norwich state
hospital after being away about a
month. He was brought back on Sat
urday by an attendant, his condition
showing no change for the better be-
cause of the operation he underwent in
an effort to restore his sanity.
A number of years ago he was an
inmate of the Middletown, N. Y, state
hospital. AT that time the question
of an operation for the restoration of
his sanity was under discussion. but it
was considered adversely. He was
taken to his home and some time ago
was committed to the state hospital
here. The question of the operation
was brought up by relatives after his;
commitment here, but it was decided
that it was a case of dementia precox
rather than an organic form of in
sanity and the doctors did not advise
an operation. The family was de-
sirous of having an operation perform
ed, but several surgeons after investi-
eating the case decided against it. A
brother had talk with d. New Haven

STATE PURvEYoR BILL
NOT FAVORED HERE.
Liable to Have the Effect of Taking
from Local Merchants the Providing
of Supplies for State Hospital.

In the senate at Hartford on Tues
day the unfavorable report from the
judicial committee on appointing Il
state purveyor, or purchasing agent,
for state institutions, as recommended
by Governors Woodruff, Lilley and
Baldwin, was called up and the bill
was passed by a vote of q to g. Re-
consideration was refused.
There was no one who appeared be-
fore the judiciary committee when
no opposition was heard, and later
there was another hearing, at which
representatives of all charitagle insti-
tutions of the state appeared in oppo-
sition.
The bill is of much local interest,
from that fact that it will have much
eqect upon the local merchants pro-
viding the supplies for the state hos
pital, it is believed. The bill provides
that on July LIST of each year the pres
ident and superintendent of each in
stitution shall make up the requore-
ments OF the next year and submit
them to the state purveyor, who will
make the purchases, the bill providing
also that the purchases shall be paid
for from the appropriations by the
state to the particular institutions,
though some emergency purchases can
be made by the institutions.
The Norwich merchants will prac-
tical1y lose if this bill passes, all ad-
vantages of the local hospital. In Sc
curing all supplies now a list of the
requirements for the hospital are sent
to local merchants who desire to bid,
also to houses in New Haven, Hart
ford and in some instances in New
York and Boston
Bids are submitted and samples of
goods sent to the institution, and local
wholesale dry goods and grovery stores
compete with New York and Boston
houses as there is no eXpressage. In
variably local houses are given the
preference, and always firms in the
state. By far the larger per cent OF
the supplies are secured in this city
Under the new system the Norwich
merchants would have chance to bid,
but not for the Norwich hospital alone.
in all probability, but their bids would
be for furnishing the supplies to all
the state institutions, on which the big
cities or the more centrally located
bidders would, from location, be able
to submit the better bid. This would
likely take it outside the state.
The state appropriations for the in
situations vary n different institutions.
as all the per capita is appropriated
for the boys and girls schools, but on
ly small per capita for the state
hospital inmates as much for their
support comes from towns and indi-
vidualS.
1t is probable that something will
be done to get a reconsideration of
the bill.
