To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Lifes varied round brings tidings of this death in Hartford yesterday morning, the details and circumstances of which are too heartrending to be repeated here; the clos ing hours of life worn away, alone, unfriend- ed, with no kindly hand to minister to his suffering, nor tender, loving voice to soothe and comfort those long, last hours of life in it's struggle with death.
 This genial, gentle man was the very type of youthful beauty and comeliness in form and features. Who that knew him will fail to recall his winning, gentle expres- sion that won it's way straight to the hearts of those who beheld it. He was singularly gifted with ways that, all unconscious him self, were sure to and did win from others their sympathy, favor and friendly regard. His generous and Rnselfsh heart and nature expressed itself with voice and address in themseiyos go attractive and fascinating as to engage for him the attention and service of him to whose heart he Was speaking.
 It befell the writer's experience some four years ago, as a stranger, to seek Dr. Oaks professional services at the hour of midnight in behalf f a suffering old citizen with little or no means, of whom the writer had heard, within an hour, that he was prob ably sick unto death and entirely alone and unattended. Dr. Oaks at once said, and in that cheerful spisit that fully bespoke the young mans noble and generous nayure, that he would accompany the writer to the suffer CTS home. At once upon seeing patient that could not remunerate him he said: ''You please stay wfth him whilst get for him medicines and brandy" With these he soon returned. The writer then said, 'Dr., nov if you will stay I will go and get nurse for him" "No," said he, F'I could not let you, who are older than l, go out at this lonely hour of night, you stay and I will go and get nurse" This he did and remained himself with the dying man till he passed away ill the morning.
 What heart will not say, "With all thy faults love thee still"

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
How 1t Was Spent-Quiet In The City-Crowds At Sav1n Rock Oan FNERa EwaursS0na

How 1t Was Spent-Quiet In The
 City-Crowds At Sav1n Rock
 Crowds On The Excursions.
 Fourth of July passed off very quietly this year year and had it not been for the enthusiastic small boy one would hardly have thought the great national holiday was in prog ress. It was a common remark that Saturday was the quietest Fourth known in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Even the small boy observed the new law and desisted from beginning his sport until sunrise to the great delight of the drowsy sleepers who had lost all the patriotism they ever possessed. The national salute was fired and the church bells rung at the rising of the sun, and then for a short time the air was filled with the ire quent reports of irecrackers and small can non. As there was nothing to keep the peo- pie in the city hundreds took advantage of the early excursion to Lyle's Beach on the popular Elm City and spent very pleasant day at that shore resort. The horse cars on the West Haven road and numerous barges carried large numbers of pleasure seekers to Savin Rock. Many also went by barges to South End. At the Rock the crowds were feasted and entertained with all kinds of games and kept in the best of spirits all day The crowd at the Rock was very or derly and entirely free from the usual dis turbances of the day.
 Superintendent Ward had all his horses at work and rapidly sent the cars, loaded almost to suffocation, to the Rock and returned them again for another load. During the early evening the cars were well filled, and 1t seemed to the conductors as though their la bors would never cease. The trips were made without accident save an occasional jump of the track.
 It was almost daylight before the last car left the Rock for the city. The afternoon excursion down the Sound to the mouth of the Connecticut river by the Northam was well patronized, as were the trips of the Juno to Pawson Park. The picnic of the Clan-na-Gael society at Hamilto Park proved an attraction to large crowd of peo- pie, and together with the boat trips kept the Fair Haven and Westville cars running full all day. The sports of the dey consist ed of horse trots, one hundred yard foot race, ball game, cricket match and dancing. Everything went off in splendid style and all seemed well pleased with the days sports But very few accidents happened and they were of trivial nature. The police did lively business and the patrol wagon made frequent trips to all quarters of the city Most of the prisoners were drunken men, very few breaches of the peace occurring.
 At Snows, corner of Church and Chapel streets, about one thousand glasses of soda water were sold on the Fourth.
 The merchants say that the sale of fire works for the Fourth was reduced fifty per cent. by the new law.
 The State street horse cars carried about three thousand passengers on the Fourth.
 At Merwin's Point there was the largest gathering ever seen on a Fourth of July last Saturday. Many New Haven people were among the number.

CyrRa ID. AIbee.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Last Thursday morning this community
 was shocked and pained by the intelligence
 that Cyrus D. Albee, the president of the
 Good Ssmaritsns' temperance organization,
 was dead. On the Sunday evening previous
 MT. Albee had presided at thes Samaritans
 meeting at the society's new hall, and was
 apparently in excellent health. Not one
 among that audience dreamed that he whose
 words were uttered on that occasion with
 energy and force would, within so brief a
 period, pass from the scenes of his earthly
 iabors and never again lift his voice in be-
 half of that theme which was so dear to his
 heart. Expressions of deep regret at the
 loss of so earnest and successful Q
 worker were uttered by many, while
 many were mute with grief. MT. Albee had
 so fayorably impressed the community by
 his unremitting labors in behalf of inebri-
 ates and his phenomenal success that the public generally mad faith in him. No per son was so low through drink that he could nor be reached was his belief and no labor was foo hard to win back the poor unfortu- na+a and assist him to a better life was his motto. With an abiding faith in humanity and in earnest and persistent work he la hored on and counted no sacrifice too great in the cause he had espoused.
 MT. Albee was a remarkable man. De priyed of early opportunities to get an edu- cation. he was uOG u uuIou0u 5EOahCIJ Du1 nossessing much native talent, there was Q Charm and potency which at once appealed to his hearers, combined with evident sin cerity prevailing ali his utterances. His narfect eandor and freedom from hypocrisy and deceit sometimes might have caused of fence. but his noble nature and kind heart manifested themselves so unmistakably that no fair man could treasure up any animosity aoainst him. The writer knew him inti-
 mately and believed in H him: sI He has lis lis, whose lives, through MT. Albee's labors. have entered happiness and peace,
 where before were misery and unrest. He has visited homes which MT. Albee has been instrumental in changing from miserable abodes to places of comfort and happiness But he has passed on. His well known form moving about in his chosen work will be seen no more in our streets. His earnest words will be heard no more, yet the good he has Accomplished sinss he changed his steps from the downward path of folly to that of aobriety and usefulness, and the whole cur
 rant of his life from evil to good, will remain and continue to bear fruit and increase as
 the years roll by.

 The sad news of the death of Dr. Henry

 sadness among his large circle of friends in
 this city, where the greater portion of his life was spent. Deceased while in Wethers- field Tuesday afternoon was taken i'll, having
 been seriously affected by the heat of the sun, and was observed by persons to whom he was n stranger leaning against n fence
 near the State prison as if in pain, but mak- ing no sign for aid they passed on. Later
 he was seen by strangers lying by the road side; but was supposed to be some one sleep ing off the effects of liquor. At last man
 named Meggatt in passing near him noticed
 that his eyes had deathly expression and
 help was obtained at once and the unfortun- ate gentleman was carried into the house of MT. George Richardson. The medical exam iner, Dr. Warner, was called at once and
 made an examination. He decided that it

 his classmate at Yale, E. D. Robbins, who
 had been led by telephonic communication
 to go over to where Dr. Oaks was lying.
 MT. Robbins at once took measures to have
 Dr. Oaks removed to the Hartford hospital, and spring wagon having been procured he and Mir. Meggatt started about 11i2O, but the unfortunate man died before reaching his destination. There was but slight hope in his case when his true condition was dis covered. Dr. Oaks was a graduate of the class of '75, Yale, and subsequently, took honors from the Yale Medical school. He was also graduate of the New York Col
 lege of Physicians and Surgeons. He was

 two years and subsequently, had fora year or
 two an office on Grand street in this city, near
 Jefferson. He was a gentleman of refine
 ment and excellent social position. He was a son of the late Charles H. Oaks, who was for many years a leading grocer on Church street, this city, and died a few years ago. The mother of deceased died g number Of years ago. His remains will be brought to the residence of MT. Henry B. Sargent on Church street, this city. His step-mother,

The three young men, who do not know how to row boat, hired one for the purpose of trying yesterday and put out for a row down the harbor. They proceeded all right until off Canal dock, when one of them caught "crab" and upset the boat, and these young men and dog that was with them took bath, both unweleome and un- expected. The three young men disappeared below the surface for an instant, but came up and grabbed the boat, to which they held on, crying Justify for help for nearly fifteen minutes.
