THE LONG PEAK VICTIM.

Miss WeltOn, Who Was Frozen to
 Death, a Resident of Waterbury,
 Conn.
 Miss Carrie J. Welton, whose death from freezing while descending Long Peak, Col- orado, has been chronicled, was born in Waterbury in 1942, and resided there most of her life. She was tall, dark-complex- toned and striking looking woman. She was finely educated and brilliant horsewoman, with propensity to do uncommon things and achieve a reputation for courage and physical endurance. Her home, RosehiIl cottage, is the handsomest residence in Waterbury. At her fathers death the house was left to her mother and the grounds to the daughter. The father, a wealthy mann- facturer, was killed several years ago by a kick from his daughters horse.
 Miss Welton had already this season as cended Pike's Peak, and had written home within month of her exploits performed and contemplated. Her mother is now on her way home from Europe. The body will be brought to Waterbury for interment in Riverside cemetery.

About o'clock on Saturday evening two young ladies while passing through Dwight street, going towards Chapel street, were as saulted by young man who jumped from behind a tree. One of them, Miss Gray, was knocked down by blow and her com panion called for assistance. Two or three persons who heard the screams jumped from West Chapel street horse car and run ming to the spot found the girls in terrible state of excitement. The scoundrel fled when he heard the men approaching. It was stated in a Sunday morning paper that from the description given the man was supposed to be one Calder.

 No theatrical organization has such hold on the hearts of the New Haven public as the Boston Ideals. Ever since their first tour they have never failed to draw packed houses here. several times each season The an- uouneement, therefore, that the company will positively disband after the season of 1SS4-S5 will interest many
 The main reason of the step is the deter imitation of Myron W. Whitney, the best basso in the country, to retire from opera and devote himself to oratorio, Miss Ober, the manager of the company, says she is tired of the work She said in conversation with Boston Herald reporter recently: "When Mr. Whitney retires I shall retire, and the coming season will therefore be the last one during which the public will have an oppor- tunity of hearing the Boston Ideal Opera company"
 "Then you evidently consider that the com pany, without MT. Whitney, would not be a financial success?"
 Con the contrary, think it would still be the strongest English opera company in ex istence Heretofore have been able to fill the vacancies satisfactorily to the public, so that the loss has not been felt, but of course it will be conceded that there is no basso in this country. or even i'll Europe, capable of taking Mr. Whitney's place."
 ''Then this is to be your farewell tour?'' Yes, and a farewell tour in fact as well as in name. Unlike some organizations have in mind, the Ideals will make only one fare we'll tour No. MT. Whitney's decision is not the only thing that impels me to make this my final season of management. Many other things conspire to that end. For five years have given my undivided atten- tion to the affairs of the company, and can assure you that the work is of the most wearing character. If the Ideals were not exceptional in many respects, I fear I never should have lived to see the farewell season; but, even with the utmost harmony prevailing among the members of the troupe and between it and me, the de- tails of management and the innumerable worriments incident to it have not made mine bed of roses. In other words may say that I am tired of travel and tired of management.
 'EYes, just one thing more, I propose to repeat this season all the operas in which the company has made success, to add at least two novelties to the repertory, and to close all my engagements in the cities with per formance of 'Pinafore, in which, you know the Ideals won their title.

 SoIuttons
 The power of the pulpit is often alluded to and acknowledged. Statesmen, rulers and those in power admit this, Christians know and feel it.
 Prof. Llewellyn Pratt accepted the pulpit of the United church yesterday morning, taking for his text Phil. 3:10. "That may know him and the power of his resurrection. :" The preacher contrasted this state of mind on the part of the apostles with the materialism and unbeGef of the present day, which re- fuses to know anything that cannot be seen or heard or touched. This explains the in creased number of societies. This growing dissatisfaction with life finds expression in our literature. The question is often asked: "Is life worth living?" This is the fruit of materialism in all ages. The great emperor Tiberius and many other less distinguished heathens ended their lives by l suicide. It is only as we are controlled by 1 some great purpose, some lofty aim which left us above and out of ourselves and links l us with the spiritual and immortal that we can realize the true happiness of life. We regret extremely parting with Prof. Pratt; he has won the affection and esteem of many he is not only sound and an able preacher ! possessing large vocabulary of choice Ian. guage, but has also a most pleasing anc graceful elocution
