A very fully illustrated lecture is to be
 delivered in Loomis' Hall this Friday even ing. MT. J. A. Hodge, jr., gives historical
 and descriptive talk upon the castle and
 University of Heidelberg MT. Hodges lec-
 ture has been well received by critical au-
 diences and his subject is a most pleasing
 and instructive one. University life in
 Heidelberg is full of interest while the seen
 cry about the town is most picturesque. But
 the lecture is one which does not deal wholly
 with the present. The romantic life of the
 Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of James I. of England, centers in Heidelberg. The thirty years war influenced the fortunes of
 the town and castle, and Frederick V. and
 his young bride, the owners and inhabitants of the castle, were central figures in the strife. MT. Hodge deals with their eventful lives and renders his views interesting by his review of the more entertaining incidents | of the castle's history. His views have been carefully selected and 8 majority of them
 prepared especially for this lecture. They
 include many that he took during a recent residence in Heidelberg. The lecture is given for the benefit of the recently organized Presbyterian church in this city Reserved seats can be obtained at Loomis' music store.

Necessarily the operation had to be conducted with the utmost skill and care. It was eminently successful and a large tumor was removed, and it is now in the possession uf Dr. Knight, who is making thorough analysis of it. To-day Major Hunt showed considerable improvement, and it is believed that he will ultimately re- cover.

 Haven.
 At the Sunday school superintendents' convention in Hartford Wednesday after noon, after devotional exercises led by Su- perintendent Brainerd of Thompsonville, the president introduced Superintendent Foote of North Haven, who made very interesting address on the "Superintendent's Responsi- bility to the Non-Attendants" He stated that there were 65, 900 children between the ages of four and sixteen in Connecticut who do not attend any Sunday school MT. Foote urged personal effort on the part of every superintendent for the purpose of reaching these children and bringing them under Sum- day school influence.
 MT. Foote is very earnest worker, as evil denced by the great and successful interest he has taken in this subject in his own town. He lives four miles from church, yet he has weekly teachers meetings at the church Many questions were asked by different su- perintendents, which he answered very read fly. A vote of thanks was given Mr. Foote for his address. The superintendents were happy to welcome several visiting brethren from other counties. Among them were Su- perintendents Chapman of Meriden.

Fire in a school House.

Yesterday morning smoke indicated the presence of fire in the old Academy school at Naugatuck. The children became alarmed, but presence of mind avoided a panic. They took their books, however, and prepared to leave the place for good. The fire department was called out when it was found that the fire was confined to the floor ing over the furnace. It was soon extin- guished without much danger. It probably caught from the furnace.
