Cost of GiIIiaan Case.

The recent publication of the ex- pense for experts in the Gilligan trial in Hartford recalls the effort which was made by Senator Doughan of this city and other democrats during the last session of the general assem- bly, to secure the passage Of a bill which would leave the discretion of appointing experts in such trials to the judges of the superior court and not to the state attorneys. It also calls attention to the fact that several of the experts who were paid large amounts for their work in the trial were already in the employ of the state in more or less official capaci- ities.
 The course of the bill which would have permitted judges only to appoint these experts was devious, and at the time thought not at all creditable to the judicial talent of the state in the senate and the house, which se- cured its emasculation to such an extent that it became valueless for the purpose for which the bill was draw.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Congregational Church NOtes

The beautiful collection of Canter- bury Bells that adorned the pulpit platform last Sabbath was the gift of \. W Lesvitt. We appreciate the thoughtfulness of our friend who while unable to be with us in our worship never allows a season to pass without a floral remembrance.
 The following are the pulpit supplies during the Pastors vacation; Aug. 12, Rev. J. Lee Mitchell, Attleboro, Mass; Aug l9, Rev. Geo. Savary, Adams, Mass; Aug. D, Edwin + Rogers, D. h., Bowling Green, Ohio. Special music each Sunday.
 At no time since the beginning Of the present war is its reality felt as now. When one and another by the fortunes of the draft are selected we have the awful tragedy brought 10 our very doors. or course there is a seri ousness about the business that touches well nigh every heart and makes the question of patriotism a personal matter. It becomes every one who has an appreciation not only of the government under which we live but of the great faet of humanity, brotherhood and democracy to do our very utmost in word and thought and deed to hold up the hands of those whom God and native land call to the front. May God help Us to be true men whether we stay at home or don the uniform of our country That young officer had the right of 1t when he said in reply to his pastor who was lamenting because he could not go to the front, "It looks to me, pastor, as though you had your job cut out for you here at home.r Multitudes of peo. pie in the next few weeks and months will need all the help and courage and comfort that those can give whose years forbid them to don lthe uniform or step into the ranks. Wives, moth CTS and children will be needing com. fort, cheer and the reinforcement of faith, God forbid that the burden of the war should be made greater by the lack of patriotism in those who stay al home.

BIRDS WOULD CONSERVE FOOD
Return of Feathered Benefactors to Farm Would Mean Saving of Bill
 lion Dollars Year.

If the Eastern states alone could bring back the quail, the rose-breasted grosbeaks and other bird benefactors they would save $15,000,000 year in the price of materials used to kill po- tato bugs.
 Charles P. Shoffner of the Liberty Bell Bird club made this statement, the Philadelphia North American states. He made a plea for the birds as Il means of conserving the nations food resources.
 If Pennsylvania had but one pair of robins to the acre. he said, "the birds would consume 3,600 tons of in sects a day. The nation loses S1,O00,- GOO 900 a year through ravages of in- sects which the birds can eliminate.
 Next year the country must double Its crop output to feed it's army. It is necessary, therefore, to have the best crops we can obtain, and the way to obtain them is by bringing back the birds"
 Mir. Shoffner explained the impor- tance of erecting bird houses to take the places of the thickets, the hollow trees and other natural resting places for the birds which have disappeared.

She dwelt especially on the first clause, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. She asked this question, "Do you so love the world as to give your best, your dear est possession, for it's salvation; your sons, your daughters, your money Not that which you have no need oi but that which means sacrifice or your part.

Home Guards Stop Lynchers.

Members of the Moodus Home Guards were called on to rescue Philip Matinuek from a group of excited men, who were rushing him, with rope around his neck to a nearby tree, after he had shot Louis Grollman, proprietor of a hotel at Moodus.
 According to the information which the authorities have. Matinuek's wife who left him about two years ago talk. ing with her their child, works at the motel. Matinuck went to the hotel de- manding to see the child. Grollman met him and tried to persuade him to leave Matinuck, it is said, became sngry and drawing revolver fired three shots at Grollman, all of which took effect, but none of which it is said will have fatal result. Matinuck then started away but hotel attendants and others gave chase, caught and overpowered him. Some one procured a rope which was thrown about the mans neck and the crowd started with him for a tree.
 Meantime an officer of the Home Guard had been notified and with sev- eral members of his company he hur. ried to the scene. took Matinuck away from the excited men and turned him over to a deputy sheriff by whom he was taken to the Haddam jail
 Grollman was sent to the hospital at Middletown.

DRAFT BOARDS
 BLAME FOR QUOTA
Registration Officials. And Not Washington. Caused Un-
 fairness To State.
ACCEPTED INCORRECT AGES
e'afistieian Says Trouble Arose by imperfect Registration in Bridge port and Some Other Places
 Wanted Only Correct Dates.

HaFtford.-ThrE some local registra- ton boards and not Washington off. eiais are responsible for the large census figures upon which Connecti. cuts pro rata share of recruits in the draft will be called is the statement Of statistician familiar with the situation
 The figures of the state board of health, which issues a monthly bul. ietin upon the population secured by the same process as adopted by the census bureau at Washington, put New Haven's population in July as l4S,951. The draft gives New Haven's figures. POI 900, which is not so great disparity, when it is considered that the city has grown considerably. But Bridgeport appears. he figures out, to be the offending element In the state, which adds to the total population. upon the basis of which the draft is made and not upon the cities indi- vidually. In Bridgeport. he says. munitions workers who wished to get salaries paid to youths twenty-one years of age. though they were but 19 and 20, Increased their ages in the factory records to q years On the other hand men 34 and 35 years of age, who wished to be retained in em- ployment,. the essential of which would be youth. reduced their ages to 27 and 2S on the same records. Hence the number between q and 3t was ex- aggerated. When these men came to register for the draft tho es-.s
 heads insisted that they retain the ages which they had given them, in stead of their right ages. Men testi fled to this effect, that they had either increased or decreased their ages.
 In New Haven the registrars did not insist upon the men adhering to the ages given in the factories. They told them to put their correct ages on the registration cards, and this Is the reason the block in New Haven was not so large The Washington officials estimated the draft population, of course, upon the returns from the draft Bridgeport's population given by the board of health bulletin. which keep strict and accurate account of births. deaths, and ages, is 12O,SSS, while the draft figures give it 27S,000. considerably more than this city.
 But the statistician quoted says the fault is not with Washington but with the local draft boards. Washington's population accredited to the state for draft purposes is 1.719,623, while the board of health figures are 1,2SS,723.

Keep Your Fish Dry.

Strange as it may seem there IS nothing in the world that will spoil dead fish so quickly as water. If your fishing conditions are such as to pre- vent your keeping your catch alive, by all means kill each one as quickly as caught, and having done so dry it and keep it dry. Remember that a fish strung through the sills and thrown overside is doomed to speedy death by suffocation. If you must string them use one of the patent stringers that holds through the jaw and gives the fish a fighting chance for life. If, however, you can neither treat your catch in this way nor turn them loose in tank, kill them instantly, wipe them quite dry and keep them sheltered from the sun. Fish should not be packed so that they come in direct contact with ice; 1; place a sheet of nonabsorbent paper between. Avoid damp moss or sea weed in your ereel.
