RESERVOIR WHILE GAINING
 GETS ANOTHER BOOST.
Showed an increase of an Inch on Tuesday-Hard Rain Will Help 1t to Rise More.

When measured on Tuesday by Supt J. J. Corkery, .Fairview reservoir show ed a gain of one inch, being 1S8 inches below high water mark, and with fair sized stream coming in from Meadow brook.
 The snow which started about five o'clock soon turned to rain, and from six o'clock there was a hard rain throughout the night which will do much more good in the way of raising the water in the reservoir. The sleet in the early evening caused slight trou- ble to the electric lines, causing much flashing as the trolley wires became coated, but it did not last long. An other big gain in the reservoir will be looked for from this rain. Every inch the reservoir gains at the present time there is added million gallons to the supply.
 representative of the Roberts Fil- ter company, MT. ;Corkham, who is to assist local men in the setting up of the filters, arrived on Tuesday. He recently came from Wyoming, where he was engaged in installing a $40,OO0 filter plant in a city with less than 800 residents. He said they have great hopes there that their city will grow and have built for the future. being on a railroad line and in a growing section The tanks of the filters have not been heard from.

NORWICH CHURCH PEOPLE
 PLANNING TO ATTEND.
World Wide Christian Missionary Ex-
 position in Boston Opens This Month

Many from churches in this city are planning to attend The World in Bos-
 ton, living exposition of worldwide
 Christian missions at the Mechanics
 building, Boston, April 24 to May "A.
 A larger number of people have vol
 unteered as stewards than performed
 the same service in the great English missionary expOsitions of 1908 and
 1909, The Orient in London and Africa
 and the East, held in the British me
 tropolis. Under a special arrangement four hundred stewards have been en-
 rolled in Providence, R. l., a city which
 is almost as enthusiastic over The
 World in Boston as is Boston itself.
 To give a lifelike character to the
 exposition the stewards are to wear the native dress or costume of the
 people they impersonate. These range
 from American Indian and cowboys to Arabs Chinese, Brahmins and native Africans. While the costumes may be
 purchased for a small amount, the de-
 mand for patterns indicates that nearly every costume will be made at home. The stewards are to perform their ser vice at the exposition in relays of two hours or more a week, four hundred to five hundred being on duty at time. In March elaborate timetables will be made out. showing the exact days and hours each steward is to serve.
 The training of the stewards is to qualify them to intelligently answer questions ana 10 explain the meaning of all that the throngs of visitors will see. Such an opportunity to exploit the great Christian enterprise of mis- sions has never before presented itself I in America. The stewards are inn pressed with the responsibility of the | part they are to take in the exposition and the managers of the great enter prise are predicting that there will | result great accession to the ranks of l active workers in the churches of Bos- | ton and vicinity

Interesting Story Of Russian Iifs|
Told by Rev. C. [. Parker, of Salem, at Y. M C. A
 Hall-Last in Successful Series of Travelcaues.

The last of a series of three trav- eiogues was given on Tuesday evening in Association hali for the r. Nj. C. A members and their friends. St Peters, burg and Russia iii general was the subject treated by the speaker, Rev. q. L. Parker of Salem, Mass, who made his lecture one of the most ef1teftaifi- ing and instructive of the course, speaking of his personal observations during the twe years from October, 1908, to October, 1903, when he wasslo. eated at St. Petersburg as pastor of the British American church
 American Population Decreased.
 General Secretary w. A. Moore in troduced the speaker, who delivered his lecture first and then showed about fifty views uilpn which he made com- mehts. Dynamite bombs and the per- secutioh of the Jews. he said, were not necessarily the whole of Rsssia, but there was daily life, attractive be- cause it was like all others. but with differences that made it unlike any other. Since Bloody Sunday, when the Jews were massacred, the British and American population of St Pet er3burE had decreased from about D. 0G0 to $500, and in fact American cap ttal or business men were not so warmly welcomed since sharp Amer ican had had a railroad contract on which he was to be paid for every spike used. It turned out that so many spikes were needed that the Russians were glad to give him a lump sum to clear out.
 His church, said the lecturer, was loca.sd in the center of the postoffice block, a situation safe because the government protected the postohce, but dangerous because it would be the first place to be blown up if there was any blowing up to be done. When he first located at the church he found big numbers of the Russians attending the services, and got the impression that he was about to convert all St. Petersburg, but the truth was they were coming to get free lessons in English. After he learned that tha dream of converting all Russia faded.
 First impression.
 The first impression of Russia and the contrast it presents to modern Eu rope is given at the frontier, where the incoming train stops while passports are taken up and examined. On one Side of the boundary river are the typical neat German houses; on the other the dirty, squalid abodes of the Russian peasants. Upon entering Russia the first thing that the travel CTS learn is not to be in ahourry; to calm down and take it easy. There is the greatest indifference about getting anything done. for the Russians are tHc OflSlIldl IbOH WdITy CluD The national view of things is expressed in the equivalent of Never mind" If your train don't get there in time, that's all there is to it; you don't get there; never mind.

ST. MARYs SOCIETY. Arrangements Being Made to Attend Church and for Social Evenings.


 St Mary's T. A. and B. society held its regular meeting on Tuesday even ing in the T. A. M. building, with @ good attendance and President Will liam H. McGuinness in the chair. One new member was initiated. The society made arrangements to attend in a body at the 7.30 mass at St. Patrick's church on Palm Sunday, meeting at the rooms before proceed ing to the church.
 There was considerable interest man ifested in the arrangements for a series of social evenings to be held jointly by St. Mary's society and St. Anne's so- ciety through which it is expected that both organizations will experience much of benefit in the social line. A joint committee of six from the two societies is in charge.
 The New Britain field day for the state is also attracting the attention of the societies, and it is probable a considerable delegation to go will be worked up.
