 ANNUAL BERKELEY SERMON To Yale University by Rev. Dr.
 Rafnsford of St. George's Church,
 New York, at Trinity Church Last
 Night.
 Trinity church was crowded last night as Rev. Dr. Rainsford of St. Georges church, New York city, ascended the pull pit to deliver the annual Berkeley sermon to the members of Yale university. His remarks were full of human interest and were intently listened to by the young men as he talked of the absolute condition of sin.
 We should distinguish, said he, between the humanity of sin and the fungus growth. If religious experience is going to be helpful to us in any way it is to give us Gl0 1ouStH dho oIedotA tuu OI human life. Jesus stands before us as a great vindioator of this life. His is not a religion of condemnation, which all other religions become. It is fresh, pure, sweet. He comes, not to condemn the world, but to save it. Man in his essence is not un- pleasing to the father. He is not without the true feeling of Godly character. You can only meet the duties of civilization by | a true comprehension of mans relation to God.

She is very comfort able to-day also The hiccoughs will come then she will rest easy for quite while before 8 return of the trouble. The pub lication of the case has already attracted attention to it. Dr. Shelton, this morning received telegram from G. A. Wheat, of New York, which said, Produce violent sneezing with German Catarrh snuff, then etherize patient" Dr. Shelton is not &C., quainted with Mir. Wheat, neither are any of the family, and the advice will hardly be taken. The physician is doing all that he can to relieve and cure the child.
 The family of the girl are also receiving dispatches from people in different parts of New England and New York state, telling them of simple remedies to cure the hiccoughs. F.. a'

The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim thist this medicine "makes the weak strong" It does not act like a stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.

THE WATER QUESTION.

Meeting Yesterday of the Trades
 Council Discuss the Matter Pro and
 Con-Greedv Politicians as a Discor-
 dant Element in the Case.
 The meeting of the Trades Council yes terday for the purpose of discussing the question of municipal ownership of the water supply as advocated by Mayor Sar- gent proved not very successful, as there was barely bakers dozen present where seventy-fve at least had been expected ,and then MT. Mansfield of Westville, who was to address the meeting, did not put in an appearance either. In his place H. H. Lane spoke and occupied about three-quar- ters of an hour. He made somewhat violent attack upon MT. Dawson's state ments which appeared recently in one of the local papers. While he admitted that the water company had done well enough, perhaps, nevertheless, as the whole inter- ests of the people were concerned, profit taking organizations ought to be abolished. He made the statement that the water company's plant could or should be bought 75 per cent. cheaper than MT. Dawson claimed it was worth.
 Only one other man spoke, although several were invited to participate. He said that it was his opinion if the city had the ownership, what the people now paid as profits to private corporations
 would be more than gobbled up by a ring of greedy politicians

DOWN IN FLORIDA.


Two More New Haven Arrivals at
 Rock Ledge.
 Letters received from members of the party of eleven which left here week or more ago for Rock Ledge, Florida, speak of the safe arrival of the party and the pleasure they are experiencing at Rock Ledge. In the party are MT. and Mrs.
 Charles Wilson, and Mrs Andrews, wife of Chief Justice Andrews, MT. and Mrs. George P. Merwin, of Elm street, and MT. Smith, the window-shade dealer, and wife. They arrived at Rock Ledge last Wednes- day. They went to Savannah from New York on the fine new steamer Kansas City, put on the line. last summer. Mrs. Mer- win of the party and MT. and Mrs. Smith suffered considerable inconvenience from sea sickness and most of the party had a touch of the malady. Among the first to greet the party at Rock Ledge were MT. Horace P. Shares and Allen D. Baldwin l of New Haven. Mir. Shares is | known as one of the founders of | Rock Ledge's remarkable prosperity owing to his enterprise and public spirit. He is interested in most of the chief enter prises for upbuilding this delightful spot. dlS nanuSOme W1ntef residence tnere IS also most hospitable place. Mr.Allen D.
 Baldwin and party, who are on a visit, ar
 rived at Rock Ledge few days before the | other New Haven party. MT. Baldwin was
 well content to drop his rolls of building | plans and his figuring cap and take little relaxation in the sunny south. It is ex- pected that several large hunting and fish | ing stories will crop out and find ther way
 up north, as among the New Haveners now
 in or near Rock Ledge are several who are experts with rod and rife. MT. and Mrs.

ARIZONA ORANGES.

When Californians admit the success of orange culture Tn Arizona, it hardly seems necessary. to produce further proof in the matter.
 Californians have been slow to admit the adaptability of our soil to the culti. vation of oranges, but the following from the San Francisco Bulletin is evi- dence that they see the hand writing on the wall and are obliged to acknowledge that Arizona oranges are all right:
 Orange producers south, and in the upper counties as well, are viewing with no little concern the increasing orange producing area of Southern Arizona. Oranges were ripe in the Salt River valley, near Phoenix, on November 20. Some of them have just reached Secre- tary Lelong, of the State Board of Hor- ticulture. He admits their evident merit and praises their size and high color. They are juicy and sweet. Some of the navals are four inches in diam eter. They grew in a sixteen-acre grove, nine miles northeast of Phoenix. The grove was planted in April, 1889. The trees were two-year buds on old stock. They bore few oranges last year.
 Tt IS claimed that oranges will rlpen here as early as November 15. These are believed to be the earliest fully-ma- tured oranges in the United States. The altitude is about ll50 feet. The Phoenix board of trade is making great capital out of the orange, fig and rasin possibilities of that country. There are now over 600 acres planted in oranges and lemons near Ph9nix."
 And the San Francisco Chronicle, speaking of these oranges, adds:
 "Some exceptionally fine specimens of naval oranges have been received in this city within a few days from Phoenix, A. T. In size and appearance these oranges leave nothing to be desired, while their flavor is remarkably good, considering the fact that on the Pa cliic coast oranges are not fully ripe until January or February. The trees from which this fruit was picked were planted as recently as April 1889, and that they should have borne any fruit at all IS remarkable. There are already some 500 acres planted in citrus fruits in the Salt River valley, and arrange. ments are now being perfected to plant 1000 acres in addition during the con- ing season. With the fruit referred to as criterion, there would seem to be good ground for the belief that Arizona will before many years attain i'm portance as an orange producing region."

From President HarrIson's Message; "The legislation of Congress for the repression of PoNgamy has, after years of resistance on the part of the Mormons, at last brought them to the conclusion that resistance Is un. profitable and unavaiIing. The power of Con. gross over this subject should not be sur. rendered until we have satisfactory evidence that the people of the state to be created would exercise the exclusive power of the state over thls subject In the same way. The question Is not whether these people now obey the law of Congress against poly gamy, but rather would they make, enforce and maintain such laws themselves If abso. iutey free to regulate the subject. We can. not afford to experiment with this subject, for when a state Is once constituted the act Is final and any mistake irretrelyabIe. No com. pact In the enabling act could. In my opinion, be binding or effective"
