larly as to the number of reports they have made concerning violations of this law. and their reasons for not se- curing evidence against known violators of the law. Thirdly. We would sug- gest that the patrolmen on the beats where the liquor law has been most openly and notoriously violated, be similarly examined. as well as any other officers who may have information to give; and that such officers be ques- toned thoroughly as to the influences from beneath or from above which have led them to keep their places in peace and quietness. rather than to meddle with the enforcement of the liquor laws.
 Fourthly. We ask that should you in- stitute such inquiry you give good and sufficient assurance to all police officers that they shall not suffer loss of posi- ton, or be held back from promotion, or on any ways, directly or Indirectly, be punished or fined, If they tell all that they know about this whole business, hit where the truth may, high or low.
 Fifthly. We would add the suggestion
 
 force by you. the superintendent should be asked to give his testimony and opinion concerning any measures which In his judgment may be advisable for the better equipment and efficiency of the department in the enforcement of all laws pertaining to the public morals.
 In the interest of public morals we Insist and demand that such thorough inquiry into this subject of the enforce ment of law in New Haven be at once instituted by your board. We take here with all our previous allegations from your files. and. so long as they are passed without consideration by you, we raise them, one and all, as public accusations of breach of trust against the police board itself.
 We also make to you again this stand Ing offer, that whenever you are ready to proceed with an investigation for the purpose of securing an impartial and effectual enforcement of the laws of the state of Connecticut in the town of New Haven, we on our part, as a com pany of private citizens determined to secure respect for law and common decency in this city, are ready to ren- der you practical assistance in your in- quiries from the mass of information which Is accommodating on our hands
 We shall continue to demand, with a perpetual insistence, that the police department be lifted out of its present paralyzing dependence upon the poli- nf a hot board shall not be exposed to any per sonal interest or business profit, which works corruption.
 In behalf of the New Haven Law and Order league, Newman Smyth.

With scarcely any exception the visitors were welcomed with cor diality by the citizens They had no difficulty in gaining the information they sought. The courteous bearing of the visitors was reciprocated. In many families, strangers to the house of God, their visits were warmly and gratefully appreciated. In several neighborhoods, remote from churches, meetings were held and numerously attended, some of which will doubtless be permanently maintained. In Whitneyville. the lady visitor brought together large group of children, suitable to form Junior Endeavor organization, and a work of much promise was inaugurated. As in the town of Naugatuck. previously visited, and where work of great value was accomplished, many of the good people of the town have shown their appreciation of the service by liberal contributions to the treasury of the society.

 in its new home on Chapel street. be-
 tween College and Temple streets. The

Beginning with the first of November, an admission fee of $25 will be imposed on all new members in the city, but this amount will not be required from nonresident mem bers. Saturday night will be club night, and commencing with Saturday, Oc- tober 6, a series of lectures will be given by prominent men from other cities, definite notide of which will be given
 later. The lecture this week will be given by Professor Brewer of Yale, who will give an account of the Cook Arctic expedition.
 The Yale Medical school opened yes- tertIay at noon with an increased at- tendance in all the classes. More have registered than were members of the school last year, but a number still remain to be registered, so that the complete figures cannot yet be known. TRACK ATHLETIC RECORD BOOK.
 The record book of the Harvard-Yale Track Athletic Dual league has recently been received and place in one of the cupboards in the trophy room of the gymnasium. The book is bound in handsome alligator skin and con- tains the agreement by which gradu- ates of Yale and Harvard present a cup to be contested for by members of the two unlVerSlIleS IrOln 1851 10 1853 inclusive.

In order that such needed in- vestigation may be as thorough and searching as your executive powers rem der possible, we would further sug- gest that according to our best knowl- edge and belief considerable light might be struck out of the darkness if your board would make diligent inquiry in the ways and particulars which you will allow us to indicate as follows: First, We suggest that you should sum- mon the captains of the several pre- cincts to answer these inquiries, with any other questions pertinent thereto: Q) How many places where the liquor law is violated, where policy is writ ten, or where saloons are kept with immoral attachments, are known to the officers of your precinct to exist? @ What are the reasons why the off, cers have ceased. to report, or fail to enforce the laws against all such places?

The following were the readings OF the
barometer at the weather office st Z a. m.
and q. M. yesterday, as furnished oy
Observer johnson: Observed reading at
a. NJ, IS 6S5 and at Z p. M 2S.562;; the same
when corrected for temperature were
2S 53S and - 443, and when reduced to sea
level G, ,366 feet lower than this) they were
% 9SS aud - S9S inches
All barometer readings reported from
weather bureau stations and placed upon
bulletins are corrected for temperature and
reduced to sea level.
For the benefit Of the uninitiated
would say that height of the barometer Is
a measure of the depth and density Of the
air above Us; the heigher the baro-
meter the greater the density
of the air. A high barometer
and clear, cool weather usually 20 togeth-
er, and conversely low barometer and
close, muggy weather are usually synchro-
nous. Hence a falling barometer is one
indication of tie approach of foul weather.
while rising barometer presages clearing
or continued fair, cooler weather. This IS
meteorological axiom, and yet In
forecastiug the weather one Is reminded
of that apocryphal anecdote concerning the
famous German professor and author who
was once asked: "What is that little book
on your tablet" 'rhat is little work of
miue-just out. 1t contains the rules of
the German language" And what. Pro.
fessor, are those immense volumes upon
your shelvesr' Those, Herr Doctor. are

TO CURE TOOTHACHE.
Prescription for Emergency Treatment
That Is Convenient to Know.


That Is Convenient to Know.
Toothache is little thing in the
books. but many physicians would
rather meet a burglar at the door on a
dark night than call to cure bad
toothache of several days continuance.
A hypodermic of morphine only post
pones the evil day. and usually the
patient is respectfully referred to the
dentist. The tooth should not be ex-
tracted while the jaw and gums are in
famed and the latter swollen, and it is
the physicians duty to treat the case
until the above conditions are removed.
Always keep small phial containing
the following mixture: Chloroforrn,
git K; glycerine. git x; sat. sol. &C
carbol., git x; morphine, gr j., with a
small wad of absorbent cotton If the
offending tooth has cavity or decayed
surface, saturate a small pellet of cot
ton with the above mixture and put
into the cavity or against the decayed
surface, as the case may be-never pack
the cotton in, or the more is the trou-
bic, but have the pellet small enough
cases this will end the trouble.
When the gums are swooien and ten
der paint two or three times, two min
utes apart. with four per cent solu-
ton of cocaine. This time of year your
patient may have been eating good
deal of fruit The tongue and mucous
nembran of the mouth are pale, he
has a sour stomach. and next day the
toothach will return Give ten grains
of snb-carbonate of bismuth and ten
grains of phenacetin at once. and a
similar dose before each of the three
following meals, with laxative II
needed, and stop all fruit for few
days and it will not return The same
powder every two hours with cessation
of fruit-eating will stop the persistent,
tormenting neuralgias so prevalent at
this season.-Medical Record

IT PROVED FATAL
MRS. SNYDER OF sEDGwIOK DEAD
FROM POISONED COFFEE
Traces OF Arsenic Fourd in the Coffee
Pot-Mr. SD yder and One Dau2h-
ter Not Expected to Recover.
The Other Members of the
Family Did Not Drink
Of the Coffee, and are
Safe Details sas
Collected by
the Eagle.

The poisoning case reported in theEAGLE
yesterday morning as having occurred at
Sedgwick Is much more serious than Was
at first supposed.
One person, Mrs. Snyder. is already
dead and very little hopes are entertained
for her husband and daughter.
A dispatch to the EAGLE gives the fol-
lowing facts:
A serious case Of poisoning occurred
here this morning in the family OF E l.
Snyder. resulting in the death o. Mrs.
Snyder this afternoon at p. m. Two
more of the family, E. l.. Snyder, and
Youngest a cs;ag dangh'er' co.d1,on Has,s sns ass
but little hope is entertained for their re-
covery.
The poisoning occurred this morning at
breakfast, presumably from the coffee, rs
the two elder daughters of the family did
not drink coffee at breakfast. The re-
mainter OF the family were taken sud-
denly i'll at the table and grew rapidly
worse. A physician was Immediately
summoned and at once pronounced it
case of poisoning, presumably arsenic.
Every attention was given the patients
but seemingly of no avail. 1t is a queer
case and Coroner Mckee of Newton has
been sum moned to investigate.
The family Is one of the most prominent
in the city and the whole case is almost u
Cotupicte mystery. 1ne IamiIy were nlsEiy
esteemed by all. and no motive can be
given for the crime-if crime it be. Traces
of what was supposed to be arsenic were
found in the coffee pot. from which the
coffee had been thrown out and the pot
cleaned out, a very thoughtless act. No
traces were found of arsenic in the coffee
can upon a casual examination. More
particulars will no doubt be developed at
the inquest. The coroner has not yet ar
rived. The doctors have but little hope Of
saving the father and daughter.
