When So Many People

Are taking and praising Hoods Sarsaparilla as
their Spring Medicine, having become convinced
that it is by far the best, the question arises,
Why don't you take it yourself. Possessing just
those bood-purifying building-up, appetite-giving
qualities which are so important in a Spring
Medicine, it is certainly worthy trial.

To any household the death of a youn(,
and promising member would be severe
afiiiction; the loss to the Bayard family by
the death of Count Lewenhaupt is one Of
exceptional sadness, because the young
man was married only IL deys ago and
seemed to be on the threshold of a distin-
guished career. His title was the least i'm
Portant part Of his possessions. He was
highly educated and SO jealous and indus
trious that he had fitted himself for prac-
tical work as u ship builder by service in
Company. His union to the daughter Of
the esteemed ex-Secretary of State took
place so short a time ago that the echoes
of the congratulations then offered have
scarcely died away before condolences on
the death of the manly young husband
come to the same sorely afflicted house
hold.

 BRIDGEPORT, May S.-A bad case of ac. cidental poisoning has occurred in the household of Martin Hayden of No. 2e Maple street. MT. Hayden has until re- gently resided with his family at No. 131 Knowlton street. Last Monday he moved to the house No. 26 Maple street, which until to-day had been occupied by Thomas Hague. While Mrs. Hayden was putting things to rightin the pantry she discovered bowl filled with oatmeal. The forme, occupant of the house was present at the time and informed MT. Hayden that the oatmeal was good and fresh and that she might as well use it.
 Tuesday morning she prepared the oat- meal for breakfast. Fortunately, three of the boarders failed to partake of the oatmeal that morning. The other boarder. together with Mrs. Hayden, her mother and son Martin, each ate large quantity. A few moments after they arose from the table, each one was attacked with violent pains across the chest. They could not imagine the reason of this trouble until Mrs. Hague happening to call, saw the con dition of the family. She inspected the bowl in which she had left her oatmeal and found it to be the same one in which she had kept Paris green for the purpose of poisoning rats.
 Mrs. Hayden and her mother, Mrs. Cath arine Redden, attempted to walk, but both were so weak that they fell to the floor and were unable to move. Dr. F. A. Rice was quickly summoned and did all he could to relieve the suffering patients, All day Tuesday and yesterday they lay grooming with pain, and last night further medical sid was secured. Mrs. Redden died this this morning. Mrs Hayden and the other patients are able to Dc about, although

Mayor Sargent submitted question to the corporation counsel yesterday which is novel one of it's kind. Some time ago Joseph N. Clark, jr., of Orange, 8 minor, through his father, sued the city for injuries received from falling on a walk and was awarded judgment for $500. Request was made by the father of the city auditor to pay the judgment to his counsel, E. P. Arvine, and then arose the question, Is an order valid given by the father of minor who is not legally appointed guardian, to pay judgment in favor of the minors Can the judgment be paid before the city auditor is pre- sented with certificate of guardianship? Hence the matter was submitted to the corporation counsel.
 In answer to the above MT. Driscoll re- piled as follows:
 In answer to your inquiry as to whom the money should be paid in the case of the claim of Clark vs. the City-I would advise that it be paid to Mir. E. P. Arvine, Clark's attorney, and receipt be taken in the name of both of the Clarks by Arvine as attorney.
 Yours Respectfully,

A Surprise Rendered MT. and Mrs.
 John w. Kelly by the Choir Con. nected With the First Presbyterian
 Church. ~
 A surprise party was arranged some time since by the Christian Endeavor so- ciety and choir connected with the First Presbyterian church, Elm street, to be given in honor of the twenty birth day of Mrs. John w.

Upon arriving at their pleasant home they were welcomed by their host and hostess with an old-t time welcome, and immediately set themselves busy in making prepa- rations for joyous and happy evening. The large double parlors were filled with the fragrance of beautiful flow | CTS, and the vast assembly presented a l scene long to be remembered as they l busted themselves in their preparations for the evenings enjoyment Long tables were qu1cKly spread III the olHlnR fooL0 ] we'll laden with all the delicacies of the season, and while these arrangements were being perfected in that part of the home the sweet notes of music could be heard from the parlors. During the eve ming some fine mnsic. both instrumental | and vocal, was furnished by different members of the happy throng. Mrs.
 Kelly was the recipient of many beautiful l presents, probably the most noticeable l among which was a beautiful inlaid checker board center table, made by MT. Thomas H. Young. It was elaborately trimmed on the corners with tassels which
 were artistically made by the donor. The gift was much appreciated: The wee sma' hours had arrived before the happy people
 took their departure, and they did not for get to wish long and happy life to both Mr. and Mrs. Kelly before saying farewell. I Altogether it was fine occasion and one which will be long remembered by the happy couple. Among the many present were the following: The Misses Petrie, Miss Nettie Clay, Miss Abbie Moore, Dr.. and Mrs. Brown and Miss Grace Brown, MT. and Mrs. Smith, MT. and Miss Sim mons, Miss Lizzie Kelly, Miss Nellie Colt, Miss Nellie Williams, MT.

A HARTFORD MAN.

 Charles J. Dixon, who is insane and
 made an attempt upon Jay Gould's life, as detailed in yesterdays New York Re- corder, is native of Hartford, Conn.,, and thirty-four years old, and until he left Hartford for Nebraska eight or ten years ago was one of the best known and popu- lar young men of that city. He was es- pecially prominent in society, his splendid family connections and many pleasing qualities, making him . decided favorite. He was the son of Mir. Dixon, brother of the late United States Senator James Dixon, and, the young man, during his long residence in Hartford, always resided at the home of his uncle on Pennington avenue, opposite the cathedral. He was not only prominent in society but also in the militia, and when Company stK" was organized, he was one of the prime movers. When he left Hartford he first went to Nebraska, and later to Colorado. He was at one time engaged in ranching, and later he ran 8 newspaper. About three years ago he mAIT10O D0ufoI Sl11.

That he is now insane is very evident from his actions in New York. It is not unlikely that this insanity is hereditary. His father, who in his later years resided | at Longmeadow, died insane, and the once splendid intellect of Senator Dixon was clouded toward the end of his useful life. Young Dixon has many relatives living
 in Hartford. His uncle is Charles John
 son, clerk of the supreme court and he has
 an aunt and several cousins residing at
 the Dixon homestead on Pennington avenue. Those who knew Charley Dixon in the old days, will feel the kneenest sor- row for both him and his relatives in the unfortunate afaiction that has come to him. z.

 The game at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon between the New Haven and Providence teams of the East ern association was an excellent exhibition of the national game and as such pleased the 600 or more spectators present. The batting of both teams was light, but that of the home team very opportune aud in consequence they won the game in canter. While the visitors were punching their errors, the local men were punching their hits and in three innings had secured seven runs and the game. Horner was in the box for the home team and kept the visit ors down to six hits, most-of which were scattered.

EVANGELIST CATER

To Labor in This City fer a Time Some of His Views About Christian Work.
 Professor c. G. A. von Gayer, the elo-
 quent New York preacher, arrived in this city last night and is stopping at 93 Olive
 street. In an interview last evening the professor said: There is large mass of people in our land who are seemingly wholly indifferent to Christianity. With few exceptions empty pews are observed in almost every church throughout the land. The number of non-church goers is
 as large and, in fact, larger than the num- Der of church attendants. The free offer
 of the gospel is made every Sabbath all
 over the land. This state of affairs must agitate every true follower of Christ who
 witnesses the awful indifference of our times to the all important question "What
 must do to be saveda'
 What explanation can I give of this strange state of affairsa One of the req sons accountable for the non-attendance in
 our churches of such large numbers of people is due to the non-co-operative, un- Christlike spirit which exists between the different denominations. For instance, the Rev. MT. Mills, the evangelist, who
 did such an effective work in Bridgeport, was invited to visit this city and com mence similar meetings here. His coming depended upon the cooperation of one man, who refused to identify himself with the movement.
 Mir. Mills in consequence never came
 here. Is it wonder then that the non church-going population look upon the | church as an organization which in theory | claims to evangelize but which in reality is supporting costly limited organization for it's own pleasure and satisfactions This opinion is common among the masses. | Often it is ''ike people like priest-like priest like people," Prayerless focks and prayerless shepherds act and react on each
 other; It is sad fact that there are preach CTS who do not appear in the condition St. Paul was in when he exclaimed, '.Woe is
 me if preach not the gospel" The religious thought and religious
 preference of the masses seldom, if ever, tally with the theoretic ideas entertained
 by the majority of our clergymen. The practical observer will find that there is a wide difference.
 Our present means of evangelization are insufficient to meet the requirements of the Twentieth century. The church is one hundred years behind time in that respect. What we need is union and or ganization and just as soon as ministers and churches learn to look above and
 beyond creed or denomination and unite as one man in the advancement of
 Christ's kingdom here upon earth, just
 as soon will it reflect upon the masses
 and show itself practically in an increase
 of church attendants ss well as a higher
 order of spirituality among ministers and
 laymen.
 The Bridgeport Farmer says: tTn illus
 trating his points he mingled humor,
 irony and pathos very effectively. He was
 eloquent, and his oratory frequently rose
 to lofty heights"
 Professor von Gayor expects to arrange for some lectures here before he leaves for
 Washington, where he has been invited to spend the summer and conduct religious meetings at the capital.
