Those who forgot OF neglected to at
tend the lecture by Rev d. Y. Lucas, in
the Presby terian church lat Friday eve
ming, certainly missed great treat.
Temperance lectures are generally very
much alike. There is so much to be said,
the statements are so appalling and yet
SO dreadfully true, the horrors of in
temperance are so well known, that an
ordinary temperance lecture fails to at
tract and hold the popular mind, just for
the very reasons that should Lead men to
uphold the cause itself.
Yet the cause must langush if people
do not make it point to attend the
meetings. But this lecture was an eX-
ception, it was something new in its line,
and we hope we can arrange to have the
gentleman visit us again.
Probably every parent read and appre-
ciated the editorial in last weeks Press,
on the subject of boys associations and
habits, but ii any father ormOther missed
it, then hunt up the paper and read it..
Every word it was sound sense from
beginning to end. Let Us oil try to fol-
low its advice in the care Of oar boys.
The town is full of curious looking
disks, with bright red spots on them,
called temple wheels. Help them to spin
aronnd all sc good friends that we may
whirl them back to cur temple at Chi
cago, laden with our dimes.

NORTH HAVEN.

April 20-Several former schoolmates of Mrs M. J. Smith, at one time resi- dent of North Haven, visited her by invitation on Thursday, April IS, in her home on Summer street, New Haven, to celebrate her birthday. At o'clock lunch was served The table was handsomely decorated with choice and handsome cut flowers. Mrs. Smith was assisted by Miss M. Louise Bradley of North Haven, her daughter, Miss Fan nie Smith, and her nephew, MT. Clar- ence Holt of New Haven. Mrs. Smith received many gifts as souvenirs of the occasion, which proved a very enjoy able one to the whole party.
 Town Clerk Futile, who has been Ill with grip the past week, is still very weak, and it will doubtless be some time yet before he can take his accus- toned place in his church and office work.
 North Haven grange members in large numbers attended the Pomona grange session in Veru hall, New Ha- ven, on Tuesday, the 18th, The lectur- CTS hour was enlivened by a drama acted by several young people of Ham den grange, which gained them we'll merited applause. The next Pomona grange meeting will be in Orange in June.

church member in the city of New Ha- ven would promise to vote on this aues- ton just once as in his heart of hearts he knows he ought to vote,
 But, however dull is the vision of men just about us, l thank God that the great movement is sweeping on In the country at large. All these elements which have mentioned and many oth- CTS which might be named are like the rivulets and streams flowing down the mountains to form the great river which, as it gathers volume, crowds its way irresistibly toward the sea.
 MT, Mason now eloquently alluded to the "irrepressible conflict and the great battle which terminated in the abolition of slavery"
 Proceeding he said: In the new slav- cry which has come, history may re- peat itself. We are dallying with the question and trying to fight off the inevitable. We are inventing devices and compromises by the score. And still the question is not settled; and the unseen hand crowds it forward; and God waits to see what men will do, know not whether we shall meet Gods expectation. How many of our countrymen are we willing to see crushed under the wheels of this juggernaut car before we rise in our might and overwhelm it? do not know.
 But of this I am sure; somewhere ahead of us Gods hour is coming. There are signs which point to it's near approach. The continuation may be very sudden and it may come in a very unexpected way, Other great na- tions as well as our own are heaving with like agitation. Sometimes great national crimes are wiped out by blood. It was so with us just @ genera ton ago. Possibly 1t may be so again. But of one thing be sure: this question will never be settled for us until it is settled right. License systems and compromises will never reach the heart of the evil. I know that these will sound like foolish unconsidered words to many of my hearers. But once al- ready we have learned contrary to the opinion of most people that beyond certain point this republic could not exist half slave and half free. l think we shall learn it again.

The old Church to be Torn Down To-day--
 Hartford Clergyman at Battell Chapel
 4 Notable Address at United Church-The Negro Problem In the south.
 The last services which win ever be held by the congregation of Christ Epis- copal church in the present edifice were held last evening, a large congregation being present, and the rector, Rev. G. Brinley Morgan, conducting the ser vices. Early this morning the work of tearing down the present edifce will be commenced, and the building of the new edifice rushed forward as rapidly as possible, The new church will be cruciform in shape, and will be erected at cost of about $90,000
 During the time the new church is being built the congregation will wor- ship in the Anderson gymnasium on York street. Sunday services only will be held there for the present, and there will be no daily services or celebration of the Holy Eucharist until May 10. On and after that date the daily ser- vices and the regular celebrations will be held.
 It is expected that the new church will be completed and ready for consecra- tion by Easter Sunday of next year. A large proportion of the cost of the new church is already in hand, and it is expected that the balance will have been subscribed before the new ediflce is completed. The work of removing the old organ and pews and the de- molition of the present edifce will be commenced this morning,
 The farewell services yesterday were largely attended, and it being within the octave of Easter most of the Easter music will be repeated. Among the musical portions of the service yes- terday was the communion service of Gounod, the anthem, "As It Began to Dawn" by Vincent; Sanford's "Magnf- feat" and the ''Nunc Dimittis," and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from the oratorio of the Messiah"

 q am tired of life because I am suffering from consumption. would try to work but it is useless while have no hope of getting better
 What 0 commentary on our boasted civil izationl A poor wretch, suffering from what he supposed was an incurable disease, snuffs out his fickering life with bullet Where did he get the idea that his disease was incurable? From an old-time theory which modern investigation has exploded. Many diseases may be considered incur able, but that does not make them so. During the past few years scientists have discovered, in the tuberculosis germs, the acause of consumption. Their investiga- tions have found cure for the malady, in Ozone and Guaiacol These agents de- stroy the germs which produce the disease. Compounded with pure Cod Liver Oil, they i, vm Ozomulsion, whichis sold by all Drug gists. This remedy cures consumption and all lung troubles. It first destroys the cause of disease-the poisonous germs which pro- duce eit-and then restores the patient to per fecthealth. The Ozone and Guaiacol kill the germs. The Cod Liver Oil provides the flesh and strength. Thatis principle on which this medicine works. It is both rational and reasonable; and its doing more for the cure oflung troubles than any other preparation.

and Strength In the Granger stocks.
 New York, April 20.-Though depriv ed of the support of the foreign opera tors through London's early closing, the security market to-day ended the weel with another demonstration of decided strength, The market was less active as a whole and in the coal stocks, Lou. isville and all of the industrials closing prices were either unchanged or frac- tionally lower But in the granger stocks a further upward impulse was plainly visible, and before the day was over all of these securities had scored a sharp advance, and had touched the highest level of the week. Indeed, the majority of this group of stocks reach ed in the last half hour to-day their best prices of the current year. Re newed strength in the cotton market, and another upward shift in wheat, had the usual influence on sentiment.
 If a bank statement could in these times any longer excite surprise, to- days would have done so. Tn the face of the weeks heavy increase in specu- lation, outstanding loans actually de- creased $SO1, 700 On its face, this is cer- tainly abnormal In the bull week" of May, 1890, the loan account increased $2, ,3S2,9OO. In the two weeks of rapid advances in securities at the close of 1886 the loan expansion exceeded $10,- 000 900. Even in the March advance. of 1894 there was a loan increase in a sim gle week of $S,1Os,6O0. This goes un- doubtedly to prove a certain unnatural ness in present market conditions. The $6 6000,0O0 gain in money holdings, and a similar increase in net deposits is at least partially explained by the more rapid flow of money to a center of act i've speculation and by the weeks treas ury disbursements,
