FOUR MORE DEER IN
 HERD AT THE PARK.
Buck and Three Does Arrive-Are Gift
 from Two Norwich Men.

This week the deer family at Mo- began park has been increased to seven in number by the arrival of the four which are a free gift from tive interested citizens who are friends of Supt- John Duff. The four new ar rivals maded the trip over from th3 game preserve in good condition and are as fine specimens as he has seen, says the park superintendent
 There is a buck and three does in the new consignment, which makes the deer family number now two bucks and four does. The new arrivals have been put into the big enclosure by Superintendent Duff and are apparent ly contented and satisfied with their quarters and their company
 In connection with the deer, Super- intendent Duff has one request to make Of the public, and that is that people coming with dogs to the park either have them on a leach when they get rear the deer or under such control that they be restrained from frightening the animals. One othac cause of trouble with the deer is through dogs which come to the park hunting of their own accord. They are much more source of annoyance than the dogs which are accompa anied by their owners. Superintendent Duff wished that owners having dogs with the hunting habit would keep them at home and out of the park.

E. H. Smith describing his work at Ing-hok. A member of the church here is giving to the support of one of the most prom ising boys in the Huntington school.
 Mrs. Ewing told of meeting recently in Boston one of her former Chinese pupils whose character and integrity give promise of his becoming one of the leaders of new China. Many of these leaders are chosen from the ranks of the Y. M. c. A., one of it's members being selected to take charge of the Boxer indemnity of $30. .000 sent back by the U. S. government.
 In giving a synopsis of chapter 4 in China's New Day she spoke of the many superstitions, poverty and star vation things the church had to contend with. During the Boxer rev olution ten thousand Christians gave up their lives rather than give up the religion of Christ. The next twenty critical years demand an outpouring of life and treasure to insure the growth of the church in China.
