THE MALADY OF THE AGE.
There Is Too Much Luxury and Over
crowding of the Brain.

There Is Too Much Luxury and Over
crowding of the Brain.
The young man of the day is poor
creature-a mere bundle of nerves,
hypochondriacal, hysterical and the
wretched victim of an ever-increasing
neurasthenia. That is what Dr. Erb
has to say of him, and DIR. Erb is one of
the most eminent psychologists in Ger
many. "Neurasthenia," he says, lis D
disease peculiar to the educated classes,
originating in overexertion of the
brain. y Youth enjoys too easily
the excitement of a society life.
Poetry has deteriorated into gross
materialism, music has become too
loud, even painting shows us the ugly
side of things" And the consequence
is that the race of men is slowly but
surely degenerating toward the con-
dition of hysterical women. Mr.. Grant
Allen takes up the flattering tale and
asserts that. the modern young man is
SO poor a creature that ne dare not
even ask a woman To marry hiIa.
Wherein, if he is conscious of his de-
as. he acts with more prudence aud
chivalry than Mr. Grant Allen gives
1t is difficult to deny it certain NETS
ure of truth. 1t is our modern Gus
tom to overworl the brains of the
young, to surround their bodies with
overmuch luxury, giving no chance to
the development of endurance; and
it is our fate to live in an age when
railways. telegraphs, and fifty other
inventions have added immeasura bly,
to the wear and tear of the individual
and separate units of society. But to
this much of truth there has surely
been added a vast deal of exaggeration
We are more nervous, perhaps, but we
are not less strong, less valiant, or less
long-lived than our forefathers were
Where's fortes ante Agamemnona, and

Sugar and whisksy the Only Stocks That Attracted Attention.

Attracted Attention.
 New York. July 2i,-The only se- curities whose movements attracted at- tention to-day were Sugar and whis- key. The further break in the latter stock was meaningless. but the course of Sugar Certificates was by no means puzziing. The trust several months ago staked all it's hope of leg islative bonus on its defenders in the senate. The presidents utterance against this concession to the trust broke yesterdays prices Of sugar stock. To-day the price quite as natur- ally rallied on the D 'mpt response of the senatorial clique to the need of the occasion. The situation to this extent is very simple. It Is. however. true. that present speculation is tame. and 1t Is also extremely interesting to note that the private tips" from the senate chamber, the official interviews as to the sugar outlook. and the rush of Washington orders which governed Sugar speculation two or three months ago. have ceased entirely. This may. conceivably. be due to the fact that prudent speculators. at the capital or elsewhere. have retired and closed up finally their spring accounts But Wall street. ever uncharitable In It's view of human nature. persists in ascribing this change to the awkward presence of the senate investigators.
 On the general market nothing was indicated beyond the process of aver aging up" which has characterized all this months speculation. Most stocks made light fractional improvement, but business was so dull that several important and unusually active securi- ties were not dealt In at all The days total trading was a little over 45,000 shares.

 Hartford, July 23.-John Rafferty, who has been on the police force in this oity but three weeks, tonight shot him. self at his home, 56 Liberty street. Officer Rafferty was off duty to-day at 9 o'clock this morning, and when he ar- rived at his home he was apparently feeling well. At 3 o'clock this afternoon he went to his room and told his wife that he did not wish to be disturbed, His wife supposed he was going to bed. Shortly after he went to his room the report of pistol shot was heard and his wife rushed into. the room and found her husband lying on the floor with the pistol beside him. There was.a wound in the right temple from which the blood flowed freely. A physician was called, and after making an examina. tion said that Rafferty could not leave. Whether Rafferty committed suicide or he was shot accidentally is 8 question that has not yet been determined. He was about 55 years of age and has family of five children.

GOSPEL WAGON MEETINGS.
TAYLOR CHURCH PEOPLE CONDUCT
 4 MEETING.

Interesting Letter Which Shows Some of the Work Accomplished by the Wagon
 From Life Of Sin to One of Raspecta-
 biiity.
 The contemplated divine service, which was to have been held at Savln Rock yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, did not take place as antiei- pated. Tho gospel wagon was taken down and meeting started, but on ac- count of the dark, gloomy weather and he consequent scarcity of people, the neeting was not held.
 The Rev. H. L. Hutchins and several members of the Taylor church con- ducted a meeting in the wagon at the junction of Henry and Ashmun streets, near the Winchester shops, at G o'clock last evening. Quite n large crowd gathered and an enthusiastic meeting was held. Speeches were made by Rev. John c. Collins and Rev. Mr. Hutchins. Prayer was offered by Rev. MT. Hub bard of Foo Choo, China, who Is at present residing in West Haven. There were twenty or thirty workers in the wagon, being workers from the Taylor church and members of the Boys Bri- gade of that church.

In the daytime two clerks sit at these desks and the pro- prietor lodges in and out. now busily engaged in preparing brief, again stopping to dictate letter; at the cap itol one hour. chatting earnestly with a member of congress or senator; at some of the departments the next hour con- ferring with the secretary or chief of division, treated with respect and cour- tesy everywhere. investigating and pas- sing upon all sorts of questions and meeting all sorts of people through the busy day.

 What wrought the change. the mira cle? Street preaching. The same crowd of noble Christian men you had up at Hartford few weeks ago with your gospel wagon at the national conven- tion of Christian Workers, of which John c. Collins of your city is secretary. These men, devoted and Christlike. brought to me the message of hope and life in public meeting in the streets of Washington one Sunday afternoon. Recollections long buried of childhood's 8 happy home, sainted mother, a bright, promising manhood apparently wrecked hoxyrp1 al hnra of y,finr Q lowed and lost wife and children, all the holier. better teachings of vanished years crowded in on my despairing heart. Again and again I heard these men and finally mustered up all my feeble, flut- tering courage and with one, last de- spairing effort deliberately sought out a church and prayer meeting and going in among Gods people, a broken-heart- ed stranger, astonished them and my self by rising and asking their prayers and their witness to my public renun- citation of the life of sin.
 You know the rest-at least the out lines But you never can know how hard a struggle, if has been to start from worse than nothing and win a place again in the busy world and have the doors of social life once more fly open. God pity the man who has to try it! The world is not very charita- ble and Christian people are no excep- tion. Without earthly aid have had. inch by inch, to fight my way alone. I think few believedin my sincerity, and most waited patiently fora long time | to see me fall.
 But my meat and drink, my capital in business. my cornerstone and sheet anchor have been these words: Tn all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path The promise has stood me in good stead at times when the way seemed very dark and my fu- ture very uncertain. I am not out of the woods yet by any means, but the same power that has wrought me such wondrous deliverance I can surely trust for the future. don't know why I wrote you all this, but you know you and in other days used sometimes to talk over matters which were outside the ordinary lines of business.

"AsAA s~ABOAJs
 Mystic. July 22.-George s. Steele. who halls from Boston, Mass, and who formerly attended the Mystic Valley Institute, has disappeared from here and his whereabouts are unknown The authorities are searching for him to serve warrants charging him with forgery. A few days ago Steele, who made number of acquaintances while he was student at the institute. ar rived in town and visited the general asked MT. Alfred Moves, one of the members of the firm, to accompany him to the bank to be identified, as he had two checks which he wished to get cashed. MT.

Its New and Important Aequisition-Finsst
 of its kiad in the World.

efits Kiad in the World.
 A dispatch from Cleveland. O.. gives the following additional particulars re- garding Yale observatory's important new acquisition referred to in the Courier" recently:
 Cleveland. O.. July Alone of the most remarkable astronomical instru- ments constructed in recent years has just been completed in this city. It Is we'll known that in the new astronomy photography has come to hold fore most place Hitherto 1t has been the rule to use but one camera at time. but the new instrument makes 1t easily possible to take six photographs simul- taneously. The manufacturers of this wonderful machine are Messrs. Warner & Swasey. who built the immense Yer kes telescope. which was exhibited at the worlds fair. They have constructed the three largest telescopes in this country. and the two greatest in the world.
 The new instrument was built for the Yale observatory. and will be In posi- ton in time to be used in taking pie lures of the annual meteoric displays next month. It Is unique among the pho- tographic telescopes. With its six cam eras 1t can cover a field in the sky equal to 2.40o thousand full moons. or 800 square degrees. The cameras are 80 ar-
 ranged that the field covered by one camera just reaches that of the next, and thus, While each takes in but ten degrees. the whole covers the greatest area of any photographic telescope in the world.
 Dr. W. L. Elkin. the Yale astronomer, Is the inventor of this new plan of | mounting six cameras together. and.by means of 1t. one man will be able to &C., complish as much as six could by the
 old single telescope plan. By It's use the Yale astronomers hope to discover l many new and useful facts relatives to the height and general character of me- teors. Singles telescopes will be placed at distances of two miles from the sex tuple instrument, and by means of elec- trical connections simultaneos photo graphs will be taken. the plates com pared, and, after some elaborate calcu- lations. 1t hoped new facts will be estab- lished concerning the height of meteoric bodies.
 The cameras are all mounted on a sin gle long axis, which is so placed as to point exactly to the north pole of the hea vens. This axis Is made to revolve in exactly in side real time by means of a driving clock inside the small column at the foot of the axis. The weight for driving the clock is in the taller column. Finelygraduated circles are provided SO that the astronomer can set the pho- tographic telescopes on any portion of the heavens he desires.
 The tubes of the instrument are fin ished in dull black, and the c1ockwork is polished brass. One operator can han dle the entire machine. as the plates can
 be put in place before the exposure, and the telescope is easy to manipulate. The instrument will be operated di- rectly under Dr. Elkin's supervision, and in the initial work Prof. Newton will co. operate.

car of material progress, impelled
by the forces that Nature in this

hence into elements of wealth.
The crude material, the labor to
convert it, and the capital to sup
