Some of the Features of the Midyvfn-
 ter Trip to the Land of Flowers.
 All those who do not intend to go on the Hygeia and Recreation company's ex- cursion to Florida, January 29, would do well to read the following account of the opening of one of the hotels at which the party will stop. The article is taken from the St. Augustine News of Monday, Janu- ary IS:
 The magnificent Ponce de Leon swung open it's wide doors at 3 o'clock this after noon for it's fifth season. The hotel opened with the usual ceremony. Promptly at 3 o'clock the large gun in the tower was fired, and simultaneously the large iron gate at the main entrance swung up. Professor Brooks, with his excellent band, was stationed on the loggia near the main gate, and as it slowly ascended the orches- tra played, "Stsr Spsngled Banner"
 Inside the beautiful edifce sll was in readiness for the reception of guests. Manager Seavey, with his efficient corps of assistants and clerks, were at their posts, and gave the guests, who thronged in, a hearty reception.
 Professor Brooks, with his orchestra of twelve soloists, will entertain the guests at the Ponce de Leon afternoon and evening throughout the season. The afternoon concert will be given in the loggia at o'clock. The evening concert will be rem dered in the Ponce de Leon.
 The inducements are really extraordi- nary. When the party return to Jackson vile, any wishing to stay can have the time extended until June 1, and can have the time of the tickets expiration changed without further cost. Ticket Agent Bou- ton, at the Housatonic depot, has num- Der of tickets for sale. The price of the entire trip IS SS5, which includes all hotel bills and expenses.

Lackawanaa and Cincinnati, Cleve- land, Columbus and St. Louis were up l5s per cent. The sharp advance brought a large amount of stock upon the market, but while the first few minutes saw some concessions, the up- ward movement soon made hsadway and prices all along the line were placed on a materially higher plane The stocks which possess an inter national market were the leaders of the early movement, but later Lackawanna became active and its advance was rapid. Rumor had it that two large life insurance companies here had bought large blocks of stock The price was run up to 146as against l42ls last evening, and 1t closed at close to the best price. Reading was active in sympathy, and the grangers were prom inent throughout the day.

Some Brief Facts About the American
 Tract Society.

This society has just completed sixty-six years of the most useful and benefcent Christian work that has ever been accom- plished, during half century of which colporter work has been carried on. In stead of waiting for the people to come to the church it aims to reach the people by the living and the printed page of the col porter. During the past year 151 colpor- ters have been devoting their whole time to this work in the United States and Canada. They have visited 113, ,6S3 fami- lies and circulated S4, 757 volumes of re- ligious literature. The work is carried on in destitute regions, where the people are scattered and poor, among foreigners, In- dians, colored people, ranchmen and noun
 tain dwellers. It is a union society, unde
 nominational and evangelical, and numbers among it's directors such men as Dr. John Hall, Dr. William M. Taylor and many others of note. There are two depart ments, one the business and the other the benevolent; the latter of which depends on the gifts of Christian people. This organ ization has been of ipsstimable value to the foreign missionary aiding him in every field of labor. It needs, in order to meet the appeals that come to it, at least $200,- ! 900 year.

Funeral of MT. John g. Graves-A
 Sketch of His Career.
 The funeral services of MT. John s. 1893 Chapel street, Rev. Dr. Harwood, rector of Trinity church, officiating. The interment was in the Grove street ceme- tery. The bearers were: General s. E. Merwin, Gardner Morse, jr., A. c. Will COX, Robert Beers.
 MT. Graves was born at Hebron, Tol- land county, September 9, 1907. He did not have in this early day many of the ad- vantages of education which are enjoyed by so many now, but grew up under his mothers tuition and care. At eighteen years of age he left his native town and went to Hartford to pursue the study of medicine. But his health soon failed and he was obliged to give up his medical studies. At this time he came to New Haven, intending to engage in mercantile pursuits. From 182S-1S3O he entered on 8 brokerage busi ness, after which he took up the dry goods trade, in which he was eminently success full. In connection with his local business nefe ne carried on large southern trade. In 1847 he sold out his interest in the business to Wilcox and Crampton. In July, 1887, he married Polly Merwin. daughter of Dr. Philo Merwin, of Brook field. Mrs. Graves died several years ago Of this marriage there were born eight children, John, commission merchant in New York; Dr. William B., of East Orange, N. J.; Carleton C., who has a | ranch in Colorado Mrs. Slebald, wife of Rev. John Slebald, chaplain in | the United States army and now located l at Fort Marshall, near Denver; Mrs. S. M Van Wyck of Rhinebeck, N. Y.; Mrs. Dr. B. s. Lewis of this city; Mrs. c. 0. Fitz, gerald of North Elizabeth, N. J., and Miss Florence.
 He held the office of notary public, jus tice of the peace, city councilman and for many years one of the vestryman in Trini- | ty church. He was the prime mover and | founder of the New Haven Gas company, with which he was connected for forty three years, and was for many years it's secretary and treasurer.

JAMES G. BLAINE. moro than one sx- pressed the opinion that MT. Blaine's marked improvement was duo to the sim pie treatment recommended to MT. Blaine last season by Commodore Howell.
 It will be remembered that tho eonmo- dors's advice was to use the celebrated Paine's celery compound, which, as The Globe says, the many physicians who pre- scribe it regularly declare, does positively and permanently cure not only nervous debility and exhaustion, but is the only sure and harmless and pleasant specific known for the relief of all those diseases that arise from impure blood and impaired nervous strength.
 In the cure of these troubles, nervous debility, rheumatism and kidney troubles, nothing has ever been found to take the place of this remarkable remedy that the eminent Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., of Dartmouth college, discovered.
 Physicians use it and prescribe it.
 It has cured thousands, and the world owes more to tho professors discovery than to ally physician of bis time.
 One of tho foremost of medical authori- ties, he recognized that the basis of health is strong nerves and pure blood. His pre- scription, tho result of the best scientific research, has never failed. It is generally prescribed, for the plain reason that there is nothing else 90 good.
 And tho pure, healthful and strength giving remedy has fortunately been put within the reach of all classes of people, and many poor family has saved years of doctors bills by keeping Paine's celery compound in the house.

THE Y. F. s. c. E.

The Connecticut Union Will Petition
 Congress to Stop the Exportation of
 Liquor to Africa.
 Owing to the numerous reports from missionaries and other Christian workers in Africa anent the importation of alcohol ic liquors, as impeding the progress of civ ilizstion and Christianity, the Christian Endeavor union of this state has decided to petition congress to enact such laws as will stop the exportation of liquors from this country to the dark continent. Prob ably congress will never pass prohibitive exportation law, and should law be passed forbidding the exportation of liquors from this country to Africa, the liquor msnu- lecturers will find some way to ship their goods to Africa via some European or Asiatic ports or do business through some house or agent on the other hemisphere.
 However, the Y. P. s. c. B. of Connec- ticut have decided to bring whatever in- fuence 1t has at it's command to bear on congress, and if they are not successful in their main object, there is no doubt that the moral effect of their efforts will be
 worth nearly as much to them as if the petition were granted.
 The Y. P. s. O. E. of the Grand avenue
 Baptist church have been especially active
 in this matter, having obtained nearly 100
 names in less than three days.
 The following is the petition and the ac- companying names are those obtained by
 the Grand avenue Baptist branch, all of whom are in some manner connected with
 the society.
 To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. We, the undersigned, representatives of the Young Peoples society of Christian Endeayor, and citizens of the common
 wealth of Connecticut, believing that the exportion of alcoholic liquor from the United States to Africa is a burning shame, crime and blot upon our Christian civilization, most earnestly petition your honorable bodies to enact such laws as will
 surpass that exportation.
