VEST HAVEN.

seabury Chapter, Brotherhood of St. An
 drew.
 The Rev. MT. John Lambert of Red Hook, N. J., who in New Haven recently gave fine lecture illustrated with tint ed stereopticon views on the Holy Land will repeat his lecture in West Haven. The Seabury chapter of the Brother hood of St. Andrew has invited MT. Lambert to entertain the people of the borough on Monday evening, February 25. This lecture was so favorably re- ceived and commented upon in New Haven that it will undoubtedly draw large audience to hear about that ever sacred and memorable land where the Lord Jesus Christ lived and taught.
 MT. Lambert's personal acquaintance with the scenes whereof he speaks will qualify him to instruct and entertain his audience.

THE POLICE BOX EXPLODED.
PATROLMAN HOPE WAS BURNED
 ABOUT THE HEAD AND FACE.

His Mustache and Eyebrow Burned Off-
 His Eye Also Slightly Burned-Explosion Was Due to Leakage of Gas-Hepe's In- juries Are Not Serious.
 Patrolman Hope of the Dixwell ave- nue precinct was late yesterday after noon compelled to part with his nous tache, and all through no fault of his own. A portion of his moustache he lost while responding to a call from the police alarm signal box at the corner of Dwight and Chapel streets and at the same time he lost a portion of his left eye brow. Later he was compelled to visit a tonsorial artist and have the remnant of his moustache shaved off.
 For several days gas has been leak ing from the box, but nothing was thought of it. Yesterday, ln some un- accountable way the gas became ig- nited and the blaze could be seen for some distance. About this time Patrol man Hope discovered the blaze, opened the box and notified the precinct of the illuminated condition of the box. He had completed his business with the precinct and had left the box when some boys told him that the red signal was up, and Hope under the impression that something was wanted hastened back ito the box to answer the call.
 The patrolman had hardly opened the box when an explosion occurred which could be distinctly heard several blocks away. Hope lodged, but unfortunately did not succeed in evading entirely the flames, which burst from the box. The blaze reached his face scorched off nearly half of his moustache and in ad- dition burned off a portion of his left eyebrow and also a.pait of the left side of his face. His left eye was also burn ed, but not seriously.
 After the explosion Hope immediately closed the box and started toward the precinct to have his injuries dressed He had gone but a short distance when the report of a second explosion was heard, and the door of the box blown off. The members of the police and fire departments were notified and the gas company was sent to the box and re- paired the leak.
 Patrolman Hopes injuries, while pain full are not serious, and he was able to remain on duty. Had he been standing directly in front of the box it is prob- able that he would have received the full force of the blaze directly in the face and might have lost the sight of both eyes

LYMAN BEECHER LECTURES.
Dr. Greer Speaks on "The Minister and Hi
 Parish"

Parish"
 Rev. pr. Greer of New York deliv. cred another of his lectures in the Ly
 noon at Marquand chapel. The theme was "The Minister and His Parish. ! He said that the first question which confronts the man entering upon new
 charge is, How shall he make that | parish, an active or working parish
 In the first place every parish should
 regard itself as unique and not try | to copy any other parish In like man ner the minister should be unique and not try to copy from any other min ister. No problem of this country is more widespread or more difficult to solve than the liquor problem. But what we need in its solution is to re- member that what is the best solution of it in one locality is not the best for another locality.
 A great mistake that people make is in insisting that their method shall
 be the method for all places and under all circumstances. So a parish has
 
 them for itself and not blindly follow the lead of any other parish, just as desirable as cooperation is, just so desirable is it that minister should cooperate in his own way and not be enslaved by any ironclad rules He must be free to adopt new methods according as his parish requires. Let every parish learn as much as it can from others, but let it remember that there are particular rules for itself.
 As to the best way of making any practical movement, let the minister choose some person to help him who Is willing to put his or her whole per- sonal force into it, and who will stand as the one significant figure and the rallyng point for the activity of the parish in that particular direction. Everything depends on that persons personality. A minister should do him. self what someone else can do just as well as he, as by this he will fail to make his parish active and indus trious. Look for the right thing to be done and for the right person to do it. Let the minister keep himself for the work which others cannot do.
 The preacher should study his parish, it's peculiar needs, opportunities and possibilities. In the development of parochial activity do not go too fast For a minister to be successful in get ting money which may be needed in the work of the parish. he must show that he is a good business man.
 Chiefly let him remember that he is working for the kingdom of God and raa liza that tho field Of hic xrrarl, ; as broad as the world. He is doing then work that is contiguous to the Kingdom of God.

And We Are Not Standing on Any
 Ceremony, Either.


 Our great sale of TROUSERS has never been paralleled in the history of the trade. Certainly nothing like it was ever seen before in this city, and if it ever has been matched elsewhere we have yet to hear of it. It has been a source of just as much astonishment to those who are in the business as to those who are out of it.
 They don't understand how we can afford tc sell first-rate pair of pants at third-rate price.
 Well, we are doing it. If you doubt it, come and look at the pants and the prices both will astonish you. ' Those four styles hair-line effects we are selling for $2. 3s are positive beau- ties superior workmanship, combined with substantial wearing qualities, makes these Pants the most desirable of our stock. Vests to match, $1.50.
