Says the Hartford Times: &
 The report Of Profs L. P Brecken- ridge and Charles F. Scott of Yale who were recently employed by the public utilities commission to make a special investigation relative to the unsatisfactory service rendered by the Shore Line Electric Railway company, particularly as applicable to the power station at Saybrook, from which cur rent was furnished for the operation of electric cars between New Haven and Chester. and lighting service at Madi- son, Essex and other points. has been submitted to the commission.
 Investigation shows that the orig tnal construction of the power plant, both as to steam and electrical appa- ratus, was standard and of more than sufficient capacity, if properly main- tained, to furnish current for such service as the company would be re- quired to render. By reason of neglect the power plant, particularly the steam turbine engines and the boilers, were permitted to run down, and as a con- sequence were in dilapidated condi- tion during the past summer

Railway company employed the en- gineering firm of the J. G. White com pany of New York to rehabilitate the plant, giving the White company in- structions to do all that was neces- sary to put the plant in good condi- tion. This work was commenced July 1 and the plans proposed and being followed by the J. G. White company were carefully investigated and ap- proved by Messrs. Breckenridge and Scott.
 While the work of rehabilitating the plant is in progress, it is necessary to use certain of the dilapidated macbin- rery to supply service, and there are liable to be breakdowns and interrup- tions until the rehabilitation plans are completed, which, it is anticipated, wll be within few weeks, and at which time the plant will be in gocd operat- ing condition, both as to it's railay and lighting service

APPEAL OF THE DEAD
 DURING NOVEMBER DAYS
Rev. .MyIes P. Calvin Breaches On Catholic church,s solieitude For Souls in Probation State.

That phase of the communion of saints in which every Catholic . be-. lieves. the fact that it is in the pow CT of the living to aid those souls detained in an intermediate state un- til prepared and cleansed so as to see God, was the theme of Rev. Myles F. Galvin7s sermon at the high mass in St. Patrieks church Sunday. It is the teaching of. the church that noth- ing dehled kean enter Heaven; have not been sufficiently grave to merit hell, yet which are stained by venia1 sin, must expiate their of- fences against God in the probation state, PurgatoTy. g
 Efficacy of Prayer and Good W.ri<s.
 Through that relation which ex- ists between the members of the church militant on earth, the church triumphant in heaven and the church held that thosesin life have the power to aid, by their prayers and good works, the poor souls detained thus is satisfaction and for purification, and who cry out, in the words of Holy Scripture, Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, at least you, my friends, for the hand of the Lord hath touched mel"
 At the Dying of the Year.
 While at all seasons of the year the Catholic Church prays for her dead, especially does she do so during No- vember, as seems particularly fitting during that month approaching what is popularly called the dying of the year. She holds that these holy souls are kept, in their probation state by a loving Father, who longs for their speedy tfansition to a state of bliss. yet, as a God of Justice must require satisfaction for their wrong doing.
 consoIing Doctrine.
 But it is the consoling teaching of the church that while these souls, shut out from the presence of God, are not able to help themselves, their friends among the livrng have it in their power to aid them: and this can be done by having offered for them praying that they may be released from their suffering by almsdeeds in their name, and in other ways.
 A Threefold Recommendation.
 This devotion to the dead who have acts in their behalf have three req sons to recommend them; nothing can be more pleasing to God, who de- sires these souls for Himself: to pray for them and aid them by good works is surely an act of charity, while it5is reasonable to suppose that once en- al1led to reach Gods presence, such souls, in intending gratitude, will never cease to pray for those earth lJ friends to whose good offices they owe so much. This last is perhaps a selfish reason; but since mans sole object in life should be to save his soul, the desire for the grateful pray CTS of these holy spirits, freed from their expiatory suffering, is a sIaud- able and reasonable one.

WORRY IS 4 DISEASE

The disorder which causes it's victims to worry whether they have anything to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
 Neurasthenia is entirely distinct from hysteria although the patient may have both diseases at the same time.
 Neurasthenia often results from some nervous shock, such as the loss of a near relative, business reverses, or some severe overstrain on the nervous sys- tenn. The patient is usually pale, show ing that the blood is thin, and the first thing to do is to build up the blood be- cause anything that builds up the gen. eral health helps to correct the neu- rasthenic condition. Rest and good tonic is the very best treatment in most cases.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal. tonic for this condition because they are non-alcholic and neurasthenic patti ents should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
 The pr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., has published a little book on nervous disorders that contains 8 chapter on neurasthenia, in which the symptoms are fully described and the correct treatment given. The booklet is free on request.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills gre sold by vour own druggist or will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of pr1ce' 5Q c4nts Der box, six boxes for $o.5o.
