and the skin clear and white. The eyes
were brilliant, though somewhat I'M
steady, and when talking the iaclal mus
4 cles moved inordlnately. His counter
/ ance showed no wrinkles or marked
/ lines. His walk had become deliberate
and hesitatng, aud the sensiDlllty OF MS
skin was diminished He complained OF
( rheumatic stiffness, which was very pro-
nOunced when he was deprived OF ms
usual dose OF arsenic, AT times ne ATE
an indordinate amount OF food. and then
be would abstain from eating for week
or more. For year his sleep had been
broken by bad dreams; he would wake up
covered with persplratiOn, ana MS NINA
was filled with vague and depressing
fears. When he awOke in the mOrnlng.he
felt a sense OF exhaustion and pressure
all over the body which steadily grew
worse until the arsenic WAS taken. one
hour after taking the drug all this bad
feeling passed away, and sense OF quiet
eXhilarati0u prevailed. which formerly
had been marked, but at last was shorter
and less distinct. Breathing became diff
iicult through any general eXertlon be-
fore taking the drug, but alter taking 1t
no 7JcD trouble was observed. The heart
was disturbed functiOnally, and he com
planned Of failure Of memory and gem
eral indispOstiOn TO work. He was al
ways in doubt as to what course Of action
would be best Tor him 10 pursue, and was
filed with fears and dread Of mistakes,
particularly when the effects Of the ar
senic wore way. Even after taking Ce
usual dose the ludispositiOn to work con-
tinued. He could not concentrate bis
mind long on any topic al at time Az
times he would be very emotional, laugh
ing and crying at unimpOrtant incidents;
then he would become Obvious 20 all
emotion. Pride in dress and appearance
seemed to furnish the only pleasure of his
life. He would dress himself with great
care and then pass his time in a stable or
on = hotel stoOp, gazing cut into space IN
Silence. AS the effect OF the drug wore oil
he would become bOastful and eXcitable.
At such times his judgment was bad, but
when he had recently taken the drug his
judgment was generally correct.
He was very methOdical In his habits,
taking the drug twice a day IN secret, He
bathed very often to take away a strong
Odor OF the skin, which was evidently
caused by the elimination of the arsenic.
He was known to his companions as a
very changeable, eccentric man, who,
eariyin the morning and late in the after
noon, was "half crazy" These and other
symptoms indicated a general failure of
both body and mind rapidly approaching
dementia. At times he was alarmed and
wished to give up the use of the drug; at
others he was Indifferent. He told the
doctor that if he could get this drug al
ways he never would abstain, but he
found 1t difficult to always keep a sup
ply.
An Impression prevails among many
medical men OF large practice that the
secret use of arsenic is rapidly increas-
ing. The peculiar tolerance OF this drug
in some cases suggests the regularity of
its use as a stimulant or narcotic.

A Friends Tribute to the Late Rev
 MWvrnn

HAyEOA Nc NAOFFABs
 GRANBY, July 16.-Several years ago we were permitted to publish our opinion of twenty CT more men in the Meriden Recorder under the caption "Modest Men of Worth 3 No. XII of the series was the following: Rev. Myron N. Morris, Yale academical and theological graduate, is now pastor of the West Hartford Congregational church, a Yale fellow and a West Hartford repre- sentative. He is one of the most modest of men, and while unconscious of the fact is one of the ablest of preachers. Said a dis corning parishioner to us recently T had rath- CT hear Rev. MT. Morris fifteen minutes than the Rev. -a month";" meaning that the Rev. Morris would say more in fifteen min utes worth hearing than the one mentioned, though considerably popular, could in a month.
 The West Hartforders knew their man and were looking to their interests when they made choice of him to represent them in the general assembly. To moderate clerical assemblies has been his lot for years. He should be chairman of the committee on ed ucation.
 A more retiring, gentlemanly legislator could not be found; nor can many of our legislators be more capable than he. He is a thorough, logical and classical student. Yale was wise to elect him fellow, and has been greatly benefited by his counsel. No church in Hartford county has an abler preacher or worthier pastor than the Congregational church of West Hartford. Parties 80 hap oily united should not be separated except by death.
 We were reminded of this tribute by the JOURNAL AND COURIER notice of the good mans funeral. At the last commencement of Yale Mir. Morris was on the Center church platform, apparently in health, and mani festly interested in the manly and well pro- nNunced speeches of the graduates. Dr. Burton knew MT. Morris thoroughly, render ing it fitting that he should pronounce the chief funeral discourse.
 For all men of the Christian character of Morris "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"

TEN CARLOADS.

1 Happy Times at High Rock Grove The Second Church. Fair Haven, And Three other Sunday Schools. The Second Congregational church of Fair 1 Haven, Rev. E. Blakeslee pastor, and Sun day school, Judge L. P. Deming superintend- ent, held picnic yesterday at High Rock Grove. The school numbers about three l hundred, who, with their friends, occupied seven cars Messrs. H. H. Strong, Deacon Loomis, and others of the committee of ar
 engagements carried out their plans to the perfect satisfaction of all The Birmingham Congregational Sunday school, Mrs. D. w. Plumb superintendent, assisted by D. H. Bacon, Charles Collins and G. M Wakilee, with school of one hundred and fifty scholars, Rev. Mir. Parke, pastor, the Baptist church, Rev. MT. Giles pastor, Warren Tom linson superintendent and the Derby Con- gregational Sunday school, Rev. MT. McIn- tosh pastor, altogether filled up five cars more at Derby. A most delightful time was enjoyed by all, amid the various attractions
 of this most delightful spot. You must ex- cuse me, as your correspondent, from allud-
 ing to the things I learned yesterday. The splendid management of F. P. Marsh and his faithful associates in all the details
 pertaining to the comfort of pie
 nickers is nothing new (only improved by
 practical but many are not aware that good
 dinners, equal to the best, are served to
 those who care not to picnic and that clam
 bake has been established at the south end of
 the park where one hundred bushels of clans can be baked in seven minutes. We saw
 yesterday amid the steaming fragments of
 the bake clans, oysters, Holsters, fish, pota-
 toes, etc., all combining feast equalling any
 we ever saw at Rocky Point. At the tables
 we saw some of our best teaters' filling up
 very rapidly. MT. Marsh has employed Nor
 ris Hemingway of Fair Haven to cater in
 this department, the right man in the right
 place.

.Left New Haven For Fuu

The steamer James P. Morgan sailed quietly out of New Haven harbor Wednes- day morning, having on board party of young men who had saved enough of their earnings to pay their passage to the Connec- necticut river and return. Never having seen any water away from New Haven, and very little in the place, these young fellows the oldest being not over sixty or sixty-fve summers-sought the pure article which flows from Hartford past Portland, Middle town, Goodspeed's and some other places. So they hired boat and sailed around to the river. They liked it so well that they kept floating along up stream, and the cap tain of the boat told them such an interesting story about the political massacre of New Haven man because he spoke 8 piece on railroads, that the sailing party wanted to see the great marble cave where the deed was done. To please the boys the boat kept along to Hartford. As they strolled across the park, after being photographed at Heub- lein's, they were recognized. There were Andy Kennedy, the fire king; L. D. Chidsey and A. k. Platts, chowder makers; Frank Newton, Fred. Quintard, Henry Seabrook, Colonel Loomis, R. W. Law, William Thomas, Henry Sutton, J. E. Hum and Will liam Foskett, jr.
 Delighted with their trip to and about Hartford the jolly party returned this morn- ing. They may come up again before the season is over, in which event they will re- peat their call upon Division 72.-Hartford TimAs

Police Notes.

Thomas Reed, a laborer, was picked up by Officers Sullivan and Cannon last evening on Hill street very drunk. The warm weather and the drinks Thomas took did not mix well and he made it quite lively for the off cers With the aid of the wagon the prison CT was brought in, but not until he had been tapped couple of times was he safely placed in the lookup.
 Special Constable David Shields has an eye to business, and if any of the possessors of police records show up in his neighbor- hood they will be invited to accompany that official to the station.
 Last evening Kate Doughan, one of the worlds unfortunates, and an Italian friend made considerable noise on Silver street. The man drew pistol on the officer and escaped, but Kate was arrested and charged with street walking.
 Yesterday morning John Smith, proprietor of the South End House, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Warren for violation of the Sunday liquor law. Smith was also cited to appear before the county commissioners on July 27 to show cause why his license should mt ha rav0kad

A Quarrel Near the ssNIajeStfc Ruin''
 Last Evening-Police Interference
 With Free Speech-MoraI Uses of
 Dark Things. Such as She state
 House at Night-Some of Its Inc1den-
 tai Uses By Day.
 Three well appearing men got into hot dispute on the old Green last evening on the State House question. They argued back and forth with much earnestness on the sub- ject and grew bitter toward one another. A police officer passing them bade them be quiet or he would "take them in" 50 1t seems that even in this hot weather there are persons disputatious regarding this venerable looking 'told pile," this majestic ruin, " this
 fcopy of the Parthenon," etc. At present the steps serve useful purpose, as not few quiet elderly citizens resort to them after dusk for sitting place and cooling place, while upon the ample level space at the top of the flight of steps loving couples and am1- able family parties sit and watch the play and dash and glare of the electric lights. In the upper recesses far up, above and about the capitals of the massive but timeworn pillars, and under the portico, focks of doves, em- blems cf peace, bill and coo, build nests and rear their young. In the early morning while the west side is yet shady and before the noon-day glare Of the sun coues, a lew citizens, whose day star of hope appears to be faded and whose clothes are the worse for wear, lie stretched out, watching the horses and carts running back and forth carrying away the dirt taken out on the college cam pus in excavating the cellar for the new Law renee observatory of Yale. These unambi- tious citizens are apparently absorbed 1n re- hections of some deep nature, perhaps as to the wisdom of President McCosh's appeal in favor of there being universities in this fa- vored land, but more possibly wondering whether the overseer of the work, who until recently was our popular assistant postmas- ter, will give them job with big pay and little work attached. So it will be observed that the old State House has it's exterior uses, to say nothing of it's interior uses, or the great value it incidentally has Gin cooler weather mostlv) in furnishing an unfailing and perennial topic of general de- bate in the city and town of New Haven. These uses are all independent of it's use as constant feeder to the vanity of Hartforders when they see it and compare it (even when seen by moonlight) with their highly expen- sive and beautiful Capitol with it's gold capped dome and it's statue ssGenius of Con necticut," of which all readers of certain New Haven daily newspaper were so cleverly kept informed about during the session of the legislature last winter. The old State House question "has come to stay" remark ed an old citizen recently, and five will be- queath the subject to the rising generation for them to decide with the best wisdom at their command. !"
