1t used to be a serious thing for an orthodox
minister to he convicted of heresy, but nova
days the churches are much more in earnest
about their practical work than abont minor
points of doctrine, and a preacher who, like
the Rev. Mr.. Thomas, of Chicago, is cut off
from the pulpit of one denomination, usually
hnds no difficulty in getting congregation in
another where there is less objection to the
views winch led him into trouble with his old
associates. Heresy trials are rare occur
rences, and their effect is generally to give
prominence to the defendant which is by no
means an injury to him in his subsequent ca
rcer as a preacher.

Host and Guest i'm England.

The universal Difference paid to mans
right to himself in England makes
social duties as we'll as social pleasures
far less OnerOus than they are with us.
in America the relation of host and
guest is double slavery. The host has
the comfort and amusement of his guest
so painfully at heart that he often be-
comes his OfficiOus slave for the time be-
ing, while the guest, unable to refuse
his hosts continual and pressing offers
of discriminate kindness, becomes in
turn the slave to his hosts notions Of
amusement. He either has blindly to
follow out his hosts programme, or has
to rack his own brain to furnish the lat
ter with opportunities to show him at
tentiOn. The typical American enter
tainer cannot leave his guest alone; with
the very best and most friendly inten-
tiOns in the world, he begins by implOr-
ing him to make himself thoroughly a.
home" and Immediately proceeds to
make his house as little like home p
lies within human power. "What = :,
you like to do tO-day?" or "wOuld 20 |
like to, ETC., etc., tO-day?" are the stand
ard breakfast table questions. In Eng
land hosts let their guests do just what
they please. Go to spend week at an
Englishman's house and you may be sure
that your host will not put himself out
for you in the least, unless you express
ly desire it. Everything in the house
goes on as usual, just as if you were not
there. But per contra the house and all
that is in it are practically yours while
you stay within its walls. Your host
puts his servants, his wine cellar, his
larder, often his horses and his game
preserves absolutely at your disposal.
You are at liberty to act and are expect
ed to act precisely as if you were in your
own house. You can order a sandwich,
bowl of broth, glass of wine or spirits,
whenever you please; you can announce
your intention of going off shooting the
very morning after you arrival, and
guns and dogs are waiting for you. 1t
is the cOmmOnest occurrence for men,
arriving in the afternoon at friends
house, to send their dress suits down to
the laundress to be pressed before din
ner. In England guests are not only
told to make themselves at hOme," but
are actually allowed to do so.-Boston

The whole passage should be care fully read in the presence of the statue for one notion is that the passage suggested the group another that the poet was inspired by the marble.
 As may be imagined, the finding of the Laocoon inspired Latin versifers with re- newed energy.

The cleaning serpents unfold their coils in vast circles they advance in sinuous orbs and strangle the three bodies in their many folds. The eye can hardly bear the sight of so horrible fate so fero- cious destiny. Suddenly one serpent gleams about Laocoon. It has wrapped him hand and foot and fastens on his side with its ven- omous bite The enchained body shrinks within itself, the limbs twist the flank shivers away from the bite.

Sixty-One Years Ago.

ReminIseence of Elm Street,Nevv Haven To the Editor of the JOURNAL. COURIER:
 Sixty-one years ago to-day, February 22d was christened the most beautiful mansion which had ever been erected in New Haven
 Mir. DeForest who had amassed fortune ir South America, came to this city and pur chased the lot on the corner of Elm and Church streets, and on 1t placed his house. Having lived so many years in South Amer. ica, and having so large fortune, he was given the soubriquet of ''Don' by his fellow townsmen. On February 22d, 1920, the house was finished, and the owner provided grand dinner in honor both of the birthday of Washington and the completion of his house. To the dinner he invited every one who in any way had assisted in the building of the house master mechanics and 'pren- tice boys sat at the table. The seat of hon. or was occupied by the 'Don," at his right sat David Hoadley, master carpenter and builder, at his left Horace Butler, master mason. The dinner was good one and the temperance movement in it's infancy, but the liquor was pure.
 For the dinner great supply of brandy and Santa Cruz rum had been provided, and a pipe of Madeira was ready to be broaehed as soon as the speeches were begun.
 Those in good time were ready to be made, and the "Don' ordered the pipe opened Then began the flow of soul speeches in honor of the day, the s'Don," the house, the city and their noble selves were made, and grand good humor prevailed. When yolun- tary toasts were called for, old George

Opposition by the National Banks of this
 City.
 The three per cent. funding bill now be- fore Congress was matter of no little con sideration among the officers and directors of the national banks of this city yesterday. It being a legal holiday, and the banks not be- ing open for business, it gave the officers of these important institutions time to consider the matter and the action necessary to pre- vent the passage of the bill in it's present form. In the opinion of majority of the bank officers the bill will be disastrous in it's consequence to their institutions, although there are some who do not seem to regard it in so unfavorable light as others. While the banks will get lower rate of interest than at present, yet if the tax of one per cent. now paid on circulation is taken off it will even up matters somewhat. Some of the bank officers after consultation yesterday voted to authorize MT. George A Butler, of the Tradesmen's National bank, to draw up a memorial asking President Hayes to with hold his signature to the bill because of the restriction, and coercive provisions of the fifth section of the bill, which is especially obnox- ious to national bankers. This will proba- bly be telegraphed to the President to-day.

We are now showing the largest assort- ment, the most choice goods and rarest nov cities that are obtainable. The immense sales on these counters by far exceed our most sanguine expectations.
 It is a well-known fact that Brown, Bolton $ Go. sell more Silks and Dress Goods than any other two houses in New Haven. Why ? Because their assortments are the largest and their prices the lowest. In this department they are even beyond the competition of met ropolitan houses, as is daily attested by our hundreds of lady patrons who, after shop ping through New York's best uptown hou- ses, acknowledge themselves better suited at our counters.
 Ladies desirous of obtaining some of the unparalleled bargains we are offering in low and medium priced Dress Goods should do so at once. We will continue to offer during the coming week startling bargains that can- not be found elsewhere.

A Friends Tribute.

NEW HAVEN, FeD. 22.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The telegraph brought us yesterday the iu- telligence of the sad death of Mr. Charles E. Blake, of New York. Mr. Blake had so many social and professional friends in this city that it seems almost as if New Haven had lost one of her own illustrious citizens. Years ago when practising law myself had many reasons for admiring MT. Blake's won derful clearness of thought and expression. In his addresses to the jury and his explana- tions to the bench there was @ strength of breadth that made conviction delightful and that so disarmed his antagonists as often to make their helpless plight comical. Socially MT. Blake was one of the most fascinating of men. His conversation was brill ant and finished. There was chivalry of sweetness in his devotions that made him as much loved by women as he was admired by men.
 MT. Blake did everything with all his strength and with intense energy. He was as great repartee as he was debater. He would make love to a ''canvas-back,'' hatter a debutante or engulf new judge with equal success and satisfaction. One can never for get the twinkle of his restless bright eye Of late he became very stout. The last time saw him he had gone into severe training to reduce his weight, aud looked worn. Physical training under such circumstances is so often injurious, especially if study be not intermitted, that the sad news is hardly a surprise. With physical strength reduced. the hard worked brain at length gave way, and doubt not he walked unconsciously into the deadly waters. D. CADY EATON.
