THE GOUNOD SOCIETY.
"Fight and Die Like Norsemep

hs dHu Die lAtk0 NOFsemen.
 Harold Harfarger," Professor Hora- tio W. Parker's composition, taken from Sir Walter Scotts poem. was taken up by the Gounod society last night for the first time and won both the chorus and the many visitors pres ent by it's thrilling vehemence.
 Professor Agramonte seems to have grasped the weird spirit of the piece and was not long in having the chorus fill it's power.
 In fact the society seemed to fall in love with it at once and in an hours time sung it through with grand eff feet
 The wild exaltation of the leader call ing upon his men to charge and fight and die like Norsemen worked the great chorus up to a fine frenzy and the climax was reached with startling energy.
 The public may look forward with highest anticipation to the Gounod so- cietys musical festival
 An artistic souvenir is being prepared, which will contain handsome photo- graphs of the soloists, among whom will be some of the best talent the two hemispheres can furnish. All who should send their name and address to Gounod Souvenir Committee, Box 505, New Haven postoffice.

DR. HAMILTON 4 WITN Ess.
Noted Expert Testified Yesterday in tho
 Pond will Case.

Hartford, March 9.-Dr Allen M Hamilton of New York was one of the principal witnesses in the Pond will case to-day. pr. Hamilton was one of the four government witnesses In the Guiteau case.
 The witness to-day defined the mental disorders caused by alcohol and nor phine. He did not think the most con- firmed user could safely take more than ten grains of morphine day.
 Dr. Hamilton said that the supposi- tions relating to morphine, in answer to the hypothetical question prepared by the appellants, were absolutely i'm possible. A man could not take all the alcohol per day as stated in the question which was about a quart, and live for a number of years.
 Dr. Hamilton said it was no more an evidence of insanity to use the Ouija board than to use the paraphernalia of any church. A belief that spiritualistic communications are obtained through the Ouija board is not an evidence of insanity.
