The lake storm centre, now in Ontario,
will probably move northeastwardly,
causing a continuation of sultry and hot
weather in the Atlantic States generally
today with slight thermal changes to-
morrow. Another storm will probably
move from Far West toward the Missis-
sippi to-day preventing any general de-
cline of temperature. Temperature was
nearly stationary in the United Stews
yesterday except that it was higher on
the Atlantic coasts; the chief minimum
reported was 44 degrees at St. Vincent,
Minus, the chief maximum 80, at El
Paso, Texas. In this district to-day
cloudy to fair weather will probably pre-
vail, with slight thermal changes and
fresh to light southerly to southwesterly
winds, followed by rain, possibly a
thunder storm. In the Middle States
partly cloudy to fair weather will pre-
vail, with slight thermal changes and

Interesting to Military Ilsa.
The military committee of the Connec-
ticut legislature have reported favorably
a bill creating a signal corps on the basis
of the machine gun platoons. to be at-
tached to each regiment and the belts-
lion of colored men. Etch corps is to he
commanded by a first lieutenant, mount.
ed, and will be located at the headquar-
tersof the regiment or baitaiion. The
present stall signal officers are legislated
out of existence. A hospital corps is to
be attached to each regiment and the
battalion directly under the control of
the regimental or battalion commander.
The bill further provides that encamp‘
merits may be “not more than eight
days," instead of as now limited to six
"days. The reason given for desiring the
change is to enable the brigade to go in-
to camp on Saturday, so that on Monday
morning the command would be settled
and ready to begin the tins of duty,
which would be contlnfi until the fol—
lowing Friday night. Under the present
arrangement Monday is occupied with
getting into camp and there are in reali-
ly only four days of camp training.

The hundredth anniversary of the In.
troductlou of Methculsm into New Eng
land, which began with the preaching of
a sermon by Jesse Lee in Norwalk on the
17th of June, 1780. will be celebrated in
each of the four Methodist churches in
the town on Sunday morning and even-
ing. Each of the pastors will preach
sermons upon the early history of Metho-
dlsm in this place; and as there were
many romantic incidents in the experi-
snore of the early ltinersnts, these dis-
courses will .,be listened to with very
great interest.
On Monday a union centennial cele-
bration will be held in Music Hall, as
follows:
At 9.00 p.m., a Union Historical meat«
ing of the four Methodist Episcopal
iChurches'of South Norwalk, Norwalk,

Church in Brooklyn, will deliver an ora-
tion upon “Mothodism and the Country."
Other speakers will follow with brief ad-
dresses.
The publlc are cordially invited to all
of these services.
It has been remarked that, inasmuch
asevery door in this town was closed
against Jesse Lee, the apostle of New
England Methodism. when he first visit-
sd this town a hundred years
ago, it would be no more
than just compensation if the busi-
ness men of the place were to close their
doors next Monday and attend this cole-
bration in honor of Ike's memory and in
reaogultlon of his great work.
The services at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church on Sunday will be as
follows:
10.80 a.m.. a centennial sermon by the
pastor, Rev. Crandall J. North. Subject,

ciations.
At the close of the morning service the
Sunday school will assemble to celebrate
the Lee centennial and its own sixty-
fourth anniversary. Addresses will he
made by ex~superiniendents Messrs. Burr
Nash, J. S. Dunning and Thomas I. Ray-
mond. Mr. Nash was one of the three

Latat kallrond Rumors.
The air is full of rumors relating to
railroad changes of ownership. and other
combinations. One is that the Consoli-
dated road has purchased of the oil men
a controlling interest in the New York
& New England and Housatonic roads,
with a portion of their $100,000,000 or
thereabout increase of stock authorized
by our complainant legislature, and that
Wilson Point will only be used as a coal
station, and that the people will have to
look elsewhere foryltenmboat accommo-
dation to New York.
Another is that a railroad is to he built
from Danbury to New York via Ridge-
bul'y, Salem, etc.
Another is that the proposed new road
from Suugaluck to Hawleyville has been
allowed to consolidate with the Shepaug
and that the stock in the new line is
eversomuch above par.

The County Children's Home. .
From the allies of the board of man-
agement of the Fairfleid County Tempor-
ary Home for Dependent and Neglected
Children the bllowing facts have been
obtained. They will prove of interest as
showing conclusivel that the work done
by the board in the ome since it was lu-
augurated five years ago is important
and worth all it may have cost. Since
June 1, 1884, children have been sent
from the various towns in the county to

Sumo I'm-ts and Arguments for National
Assistance in Protecting the Industry.
When we take into consideration the
amount of money Invested in oysters and
clams in Long island Sound, it would
seem proper that the national govern-
ment should do something to foster and
protect the business. In the early his-
tory of the country the fathers of the
Republic protected the moneyed inter-
ests of the people, and why should this
not be done now! Uncle Sam does a
good deal in the way of appointing Fish
Hatcheries, and would it not be a good
thing to appropriate a little cash to help
fight some of the oyster's enemies? There
is no business that requires more protec-
tion than the oyster industry. Oyster
planters are troubled, not only by oyster
thieves, but by starfish and other enem-
ies that destroy oyster life. It is prob-
able, if planters would jotn together and
petition Congrem for an appropriation
with which to fight starfish, that they
would secure help.
In this business there his heavy ex-
pense. Ono oyster owner who lives in
Stamford, paid one steamer this season,
for three months, 3500, another 120.
Last fall he paid out $1,200 or $1,500 for
steamboat help. Eight men were paid
$2 a day besides what was spent for
steambonts. The yield of oysters must
be large to make the business profitable.
Ono steamer was paid as high as 8-40 a
day. It would cost from 850010 .000 a
month to run her. This steamer has
taken as high as 000 or 700 bushels of
oysters per day. but often one-half of
these are culls and have to go into the
water again to grow, and that is one way
in which the expenses out into the pro
flis. One steamer that worked near
Stamford took as high as 1,407 bushels
of measured oysters in eight hours. This
was for seed oysters. In one sense of the
word there is more money in selling seed
oysters than there is in gathering ship.
ping oysters. because the former does
not entail so much expense. Besides,
when shipping oysters are gathered, a
large force of men must be employed to
cull them. This is very much like farm.
ing on land: some years there is a good
crop and the money flows in; other years
the crop is poor and the money flows
out. In fact the business is very similar
to gambling; now you see it and now
you don’t see it. You have a good crop
in and you say, "Now 1 am pretty well
fixed." Before the crop is ready to be
gathered, the stars come in and cut the
yield—not to say anything of periwinkles
snd"drills." By-the-way, zoologists have
ahigh-toned name for the periwinkle.
They call him a gasteropodous mollusk.
But he gets his work in all the same, by
oystermsn call a “drill" is not as large as
a man's finger nail, but it can make a
hole through an ovster‘s hard shell that
looks as if it had been bored with a gim-
let. A man who has been in the oyster
business the bust part of his life states
that he nevtr knew, till about two years
agb, that the oyster had another enemy.
He says they are often as thick as hair
on a dog’s back. They are little black
snails, and at Knapp‘s dock they can be
scooped up by the handful. This oyster-
man says that the way he discovered
that these snails destroy oysters was this:
He was at Jack’s island one day and saw
a good many dead sea oysters. He had
rubber boots on, and he watched. He
saw two or three snails right over an
oyster and they cut the oyster's ”bill"
01!, the same as n starfish does. These
snails are only in shoal water, but
“drills" are in both deep and shoal water.
Several years ago the State of Connec-
ticut only allowed one man two acres of
oyster ground, and if he wanted more
he had to get other people to take up
land in their name for him. Now a man
can get all he wants, provided there is
any to be had for sale. It costs him now
$1.10 an acre. '

large percentage of rosin, and that chaps
and cracks the skin. Brussels soap
