The Local WaylaYer of Unprotected
 W0men-nGrs. Browns IlIness-Gen-
 eraI Notes of Interest.
 The man who has been terrifying Fair Haven ladies with his White Chapel tactics has been discovered, it is said. The other night Mrs. Hull ,sister-in-law of Deacon Hull, was approached in the street as she was going to a prayer meeting. Mrs. Hull was terribly frightened, but managed to make good re- treat The next night the fellow approached and the lady, it is said, recognized her assailant as 8 man quite prominent in the community. This persons name was report ed quite freely in the oyster shops to-day and the name given was that of @ we'll known business man. This party has always borne an excellent reputation in the community and is much respected by all who know him, and it is quite possible that the lady who says she recognized bim may be mistaken. However, if the fellow who has been m sking it his business O nights to follow up insult and terrify ladies who may chance to be out after dark, keeps this sort of thing up, he will fall into the hands of the police, as they are keeyirg sharp lookout for him. All of Fair Haven has been greatly stirred up over the matter, and there has not been so much excitement over @ thing of this kind since the famous ghost scare some years ago, when fellow attired in white sheet prom enaded about town. The story as to the identity of the person who is doing this ras- cALly Dus4uooc WnS kcAoI0AAy OARSuAoIoo aDoub town and caused good deal of sensation yesterday. Some people believed the story,
 while others took no stock in it and asserted that the lady who claimed to have identified the man must be insane. The trouble with
 the police in Fair Haven Is that their beats
 are SO long that the villain has an opportuni- ty to escape unmolested, as the officer on the
 beat may be half or quarter of a mile away.
 Mrs. Isaac Woodford, who has been seri- ously i'll with gastric fever, has so far reoov- cred that she has been enabled to go to Tor rinston to spend Christmas with her sister. The Rev. A. J. Wheeler will make the ad dress at the W. 0. T. U. meeting to be held in the Ferry street Congregational church next Sunday afternoon.
 On the evening of December 18th presents will be distributed from large Christmas tree in Grace church. A male quartette will render @ concert. There will also be Chriftmas exercises at St. James, church. Burt Bradley has returned from school for the holidays.
 Mrs. Fred F. Brown was reported as alive 1 last night, though still very low. There are but slight hopes of her recovery.

Organized In 1S13-The Hamden Meth
 Odist Church-Some Items of Hts His
 tOrY-PastOr Hubbell's ssItinerant''-
 The List Of Pastors.
 December 20.-The installation of the new 1y elected officers of Day Spring lodge No. 30, F. and A. M., for the ensuing year occurs tonight. Visitors from several other lodges are expected to be present, and many ladies have also been invited. The past year has been one of marked prosperity.
 The recent cold snap has caused much re- joicing among the ice dealers and men usual ly employed in harvesting the ice crop. Grave approximations had been produced in their minds by the unreasonable mildness together with the flood of Monday which swept away the newly made ice. The Methodist Itinerant for the holidays, edited by the Rev. Nathan Hubbel1, contains the following items regarding the history and pastors of the Methodist Episcopal church, Hamden:
 'sThe organization of this fourishing church dates from December 27, 1913, when 1 the first class was formed through the in- strumentality of Mrs. Sybil Futile, wife of Amasa Futile. Rev. Eli Barnet was class | leader, with the following names enrolled as | members: Sybil Futile, Amos Benham, Ruth Benham, Timothy Andrews, Sybil Andrews, Rebecca Dorman and Isaac Benham. In the fall of 1914 gracious revival of re- \ ligion prevailed, which resulted in the con. version of 40 persons. The appointment until 1916 was included in Durham circuit. | The original church edifce was erected 1T | 1919, being used in an unfinished state unti ! 1884, when new structure was built on the site of the old Congregational church. Il
 cost $2, 300, and was dedicated Christmas 1 1884.
 In 1876, during the pastorate of the Rev John s. Haugh, the building was remodeleG
 and enlarged, the result being the beautiful
 and commodious church and lecture room now in use."

Funeral of Mrs. g. W. Rowman.


 The funeral of the late Mrs. s. W. Bow prayers at the residence of MT. w. B. Futile on Mansfield street the remains were taken to the Wooster Place Baptist church, of which the deceased had been for upwards of forty years a member, and where a large number of sorrowing and sympathiEing friends were assembled to pay the last sad tribute. At the chnrch prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Butrieks, the pastor, after which he read from the scriptures.
 Rev. Dr. Phelps, who had been the pastor of the deceased for many years, made few very appropriate remarks. He told of her coming to this country from England with her parents when four years old, and of their coming to this city from I Hudson, New York. She had been g member of the First Baptist church since 1S44. Her father and mother came to this | city two years alter she came, The father became pillar in the First Baptist church. | His influence with her was great, she being | like him in many respects. The deceased l gave her heart to God early in life. She lived | for the glory of her Saviour; she was good to all about her, and watched over her children with all mothers tenderness and devotion. | She was ready to do every good work, and bore herself nobly as Christian. Kind and loving to the poor, they leaned to esteem her pretty. There are many h. stances of the interest she took in those about her, and of the help she gave them. She ! loved all good things connected with the cause of Christ. She had place prepared for her. And SO the longest life must come to an end. We may sympathize, we may mourn, and we may weep with the friends and relatives of the deceased; but it is tri- umph; she has gone to that rest, that home where there is no sorrow, where all the blessed ones who loved her will be reunited Il |, sE, Al c. E. taken away, but what blessed memory re mains. May we all be as ready as she and SC see the fruition of salvation.
 Upon the casket was lovely crescent oi ivy in the center of which was an elegant massive mound of white roses. The remains were borne to their last resting place in thu l Evergreen cemetery. The bearers were tht four sons of deceased, viz.: W. V. Bowman c. F. Bowman and Fred V. Bowman anC W. B. Futile and Benjamin E. Yam.

ABRILLHANT LECTURE.
Dr. GalIaher at the George street r

Dr. Gallaher at the George Street MI.
 E. Church-A Large Attendance.
 The lecture of Rev. H. M. Gallaher, D. D., which was postponed from last Monday eve- ming, was delivered last night according to announcement in the George street M. B. church before large audience. The theDe chosen was America and the Americans" /" and the able and eloquent lecturer well sus- tained his reputation as one of the foremost orators in the land. The speaker traced the wonderful growth of our great republic from it's infancy to the present time, and graphi- cally indicated and described many of the inventions which have benefited us as na- tion and added to the sum of the worlds comfort and prosperity. In treating of the traits and characteristics of American people, Dr. Gallaher fairly eclipsed himself. His anecdotes of men, whom he had met and ex- periences encountered in his inimitable way constantly moved the large audience to laughter, while his lofty flights of eloquence in depicting scenes when the life of the na- tion was imperilled, thrilled his hearers, who manifested their appreciation by enthusias- tic applause. In closing, he referred to a time, when, in foreign land, he saw the different flags of the nations of the old world, and then in fitting words described our beautiful emblem, the stars aud stripes, and dwelt upon the blessings which heav- en has vouchsafed to us in giving us this fair and prosperous land with it's schools and churches and newspapers, and every thing necessary to perpetuate and still fur ther increase our prosperity.
 It is expected that Dr. Gallsher will deliver his lecture on Henry Ward Beeeher in this city in one of the opera houses next month For many years Mir. Beecher and Dr. Galla her were close personal friends, and no oEe living is more capable of fttingly describing tha great preacher than Dr. Gallaher.

 The Christmas trade this week ia booming. Favorable weather has much to do with this prosperity. Some of the merchants recall the weather of the week before Christmas last year was unusually fine, and If the fine weather of the last few days continues they expect to reap bigger hearvest than last year. At Wm. Neely & Co.'s, the immense store is thronged, especially afternoons, and MT. Neely reports an addition of seventy-Gve to his pay roll, the present force at the store for the holidays numbering over 300. There are 260 sales people. F. M. Brown & Co.'s, Mcintyre & Maguire's, Howe & Stetson's, Munson & Carpenters and Marsden 0. Per ry's stores are all driven with trade, and all | the noted stores where holiday goods are a speciality continue open until about 10 o'clock 50 that Chapel streets excitement is main- ! tained an hour or more later than usual. The ! absence of about 1 ,000 students from the city | detracts considerably from the animation I about town, especially nights, the college va | cation being now in progress. The public ! schools close to-day to reopen Wednesday, ! January 3, and the Santa Claus fever among \ the youngsters is already at high stage. l Preparations are being made in dozen or more Sunday schools for gift making, and merchants are receiving many wholesale orders for gift articles for schools and classes 0. E. Hart & Co.'s spacious market is splen- didly dressed in evergreens from one end tc
 the other. The work of dressing the Episco- pal churches has been contracted and
 arranged for, and the choirs are rehearsine
 the Christmas music. Several of oul
 city pastors are preparing special Christmas
 sermons and the charitable organizations art preparing to make the needy specially happy over Christmas. Gen. Geo. H. Ford reports
 a gratifying trade and an unusual visitation
 of ladies and gentlemen from here and out
 side towns to see his European importation
 displays. In several of our manufactorie'
 Santa Claus has been engaged to come dow1
 the tall chimney with tokens of good vii
 from employer to employed. The Christma
