To inc Late Dr. phclns.

The Rev MT. Dennison pays a tribute in verse in the Christian Secretary" to the late Rev. pr. S. D. Phelps of this city:
 Another harp in history's hall Is hung upon the poets wall;
 The hand that swept it now is still, But every cord Is yet athrill, The harper's spirit was agloW With all the best that man can know; He drank from pure Christian fount, But sang the sermon on the Mount. Alike in hand and heart and lip, He proved divinest fellowship;
 Nor marvel if his songs survive
 To help us nobly think and live. He bore famous poets name, And justified a singers claim,
 An honor to his native state,
 And to our country consecrate. The Pen and Pulpit will reply To years of ardent industry;
 And in our seats of learning yet
 Will live examples that he set. A friend upon his bier would lay, His myrtle leaf and olive spray;
 Affections tribute, though but small
 Upon a brothers grave should fall.

4T DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH. Tom "rrow Night-An Excellent Program
 Arranged.

Royal s. Goldsbury humorist and inn personator, will amuse an audience at the Dwight Place church, corner Dwight and Chapel streets, tomorrow (Thurs- daD evening. MT. Goldsbury, after three years before the public, has an enviable reputation as an impersonator. The past year he has been under the man. agement of the Redpath Lyceum bu- reau with one of the leading concert companies. Being graduate of Prince ton university his impersonatlons are such as to delight the most critical and eXacttng. His performances, though at times side-splitting in their inconsru- ous humor, are most appropriate for church entertainme
 The Chicago Evening Post says: MT. Goldsbury is one of the funny mon who are born and not made; whose humor flows as spontaneously as a spring bubbles. And the best of it all is that one is forced to laugh whether one will or no, his fun is so far eachtng and irresistible.
 Another feature of the evening will be the singing of Miss Harriet Austin. She has been studying for two years with Errant of New York, and has not been heard in New Haven in public during that time. It is expected that she has made much progress, and will astonish her friends with her proficien- cy. Other features will be the banjo club composed of young women. Last year they were the Hillhouse High School Mandolin club. Miss Kate Lew is, a well known pianist in New Haven, has been studying with New York master for year past, and also shows marked improvement The Young Mems orchestra of the church will also give selections.

 Mir. German is serving his third con- secutive term in the United States sen ats, and at it's conclusion will have seen half a century of public life since it was in 1S42 that he was appointed a page in the senate.

 Judge Hotchkiss

In the case of Hiram Jacobs, treasur- CT of New Haven county, against Will liam Hamersley and John w, Curtis of Ansonia for $500 on a liquor bond Judge Hall yesterday rendered decis- ion for the plaintiff to take judgment. The law requires that every licensed dealer shall furnish a bond of $500 that he will obey the law, and if he is con- victed of violating the law the county has the right to sue his bondsmen for the money. In this case Hamersley is the saloon keeper and Curtis his bonds- man. The defendants took judgment for the reason that their demurrer has been overruled, and they intend to take it to the supreme court for final adju- dication.
