TAFTVILLE
Another Case of Smallpox Develops Herbert HoyIe Quarantned-Occum Quarantines Lifted.

Herbert Hoyle, overseer of the cloth room in the Ponemah mills is quar- anttned in his house on North A street as he has developed a mild case of smallpox. Just where MT. HoyIe con tracted the disease is not definitely known He has been ill for some days and had been under observation for several days before Dr. Thompson decided that he had smallpox. The case is much like the other cases that have developed recently in different parts of the village. Dr. Thompson caused all the employees of the cloth room. about 40 in number, to be vac cinated Friday as a precaution against the spread of the disease.
 The situation in Taftville is well in hand owing to the prompt measures taken by Dr. Thompson. John B. Be noit, who is quarantined in his home, is nearly recovered and will be allowed to go out in few days. All the quar- antines on the houses in Occum have been removed but the one on the Car ter residence. This quarantine was removed once but a newly born infant in the family was found at birth to be infected with smallpox and the quarantine was put on the house again.

BODY FOUND STANDING
 UPRIGHT IN WATER
J. Henry Beckwith of Oswegatchie
 Lost His Life on EeIing Trip.

John Henry Beckwith of Oswegat- chic, reputed to be one of the best tool sharpeners m the country and recent ly employed by the contractors erect ing the new city hall at New London, was drowned in Mantle river while ceiling on Thursday. His body was found stanGrng upright in the channel near the head of the river at 11.30 Fri day morning.
 The deceased started out on a day s ceiling trip Thursday forenoon, and his wife went away to spend the day with friends. When she returned late in the evening she found Mir BeCkwith had not arrived. Becoming alarmed she called Dr. G. Maynard Minor to learn if anything had happened him as far as the doctor knew. Getting no information there she aroused neigh- DOTS. and John Moshier and Nelson Beckwith, brother of the deceased man, started out in search of him. They found his overturned boat floating just above the OsWegatchie dock, but no traces of him.
 Friday forenoon, while out in a boat ob the river, but not in search of him, Percy Morgan, the IT year old son of MotOrman Morgan of the East Lyme line, saw the body in a, standing pO- sttiOu beneath the surface of the wa ter in the channel He lowed it ashore and sent word to MT, Minor, who is the towns medical examiner. As the spot where the body was found is in East Lyme territory, Dr. Minor notified Dr. F. H. Dart, the East Lyme examiner, who deputized him to act in the case. After viewing the body and convincing himself that the death was due to accidental drowning Dr. Minor gave permission for removal by an undertaken
 It is presumed the small boat which Beckwith was using capsized as he was using the eel spear and he was thrown overheard, where the weight of his boots and other clothing pre- vented hom from saving himself. The eel spear was found sticking up in the mud near the spot where the body was located

 2. Will college training do It. A college is a splendid institution. but it does not necessarily trun out Chris tians. It furnishes intellectual dy- mamie, but not heart dynamic. The mind is cultivated and the heart is left to starve to death. Some of the most acute intellects have revelled i'll doubt and others have sighed for the faith of the most humble Christian.

DYNAMIC WE NEED,
A New Heart Through Christian Faith Rev. G. H. Strouse Says at Shop Talk.

The Dynamic We All Need, was the subject of the address by Rev, George H, Strouse, pastor of the First Baptist church, at the Y. NJ C. A, meeting at the Hopkins & Allen pI@@t Friday noon. Two solos were finely rendered by Miss Elsie brand, accompanied by Miss Harriet Colt. Rev. Mr. Strouse spoke in part as follows:
 Men, I speak of no new thing when
 l talk to you about dynamic. It's a mighty force or power in the physical world which conpels things to move makes them move fast until in a sec ond or two the objective point it hit. and hit hard There is something of the mysterious about it, but because of it's mystery we would not deny it's erality In the moral world there is dynamic somewhat and sometimes shredded in mystery, but men are moved by it and we can't deny it's reality. This dynamic in the moral world moves men upward and God ward with the same accuracy and Cer- tainty that dynamite sends a cannon ball through the aid with lightning speed until it plerces the armor plates of a man. -of-war. The victorious na- ton is not necessarily interested in how it was done, but rejoices in the reality of a conquered foe.
 A man may be living in the slums; some fair day he gets a glimpse of the beautiful world outside. An idea stirs his mind, butt power os needed to lift himself from the slum to a more clean and healthy life. Here is a man who sees a noble. Christian life. His heart is stirred, but he needs some dynamic to lift him out Of his world of sin into a new llfe
 l. will a new environment do it ? Aristotle places the emphasis on en- vironment. But some men have had the best environment and have gone bad Judas was with Jesus, but never had his heart cleansed. Some people have been going to church all their lives, but they have never been born again. Environment does not meet the need. A new heart in Jesus Christ
