ONE OF THE OLD PIONEERS

In Connecticut Clock Making-An Ex-
 pert and an Inventor-Was Last With
 the New Haven Clock Company.
 Meriden, Dec. 7.--J. M. Breckinridge of this city, aged eighty-seven, the last it is believed, of the original Connecti- cut clock makers with the exception of MT. Pond of this city, died last night of senile gangrene, and a paralytic shock MT. Breckinridge learned the watchmakers trade. At nineteen he went to Bristol to work on clocks and followed the trade for many years. He made a great many notable improve ments on tools From 1850 to 1870 he was engaged in the business of manu- featuring powder flasks in Springfield first and later in this city. Having a love for clock making he then returned to the business and worked for the New Haven Clock company and was with them until May last. He made the cutting dies for the clock hands. He was a genial man and many will be pained to hear of his death.

rHE NEW wAYE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food and Drink
 Marks New Era.

I
 Marks New Era.
 A great popular pure drink and pure food wave is just now passing over the country, and it seems to have come to stay.
 More attention Is being given to arti- cles of food and drink than heretofore, and people are slowly learning that good health cannot be preserved under the present civilization unless the hab- it's are of a more natural character The apparently harmless coffee habit now numbers it's victims by the thou1 sands, producing obstinate stomach and bowel troubles that will not abate except by leaving off the habit.
 It is not always an easy task to drop a lifetime habit.
 One of the late discoveries is pure food coffee, made entirely of grains and possessing great fattening and nourish- ing properties, while 1t breWs the exact deep seal brown color of Mocha, and when cream is added 1t takes the rich golden brown of old Java. The taste is pungent and piquant, quite similar to coffee; in fact so close to it in aroma and flavor that the coffee drinker who has had trouble with coffee will freely take on the new grain drink when he discovers that it agrees with him per fectly, and it's healthful properties quickly dismiss his former ails.
 The great feature of this new and ra- tional method of dismissing sickness IS to avoid drugging oneself and quit hurtful habits, taking in only what is known to be pure natural food such as the Creator intended for mans sub sistence.
 Dr. Wesley A. Dunn, editor of Med | ical Current" Marshall Field building, | Chicago, says: T am highly pleased with it.
 Nothing is more to the point than | this new food drink made from grains It bears the name of "Postum Cereal, and is made by the Postum Cereal Co., l limited, Battle Creek, Mich It claims to be a direct and quick producer of new blood corpuscles by the natural method of good nourishine | food taken in liquid form. It is quite bit less expensive than coffee and al | together it's use appeals to ones com mon sense.
 Beware of the fradulent limitations o1 the original Postum Cereal grain coffee l Insist on Postum.

Address Before Yale Students Last
 Evening.
 Rev. Theodore Cuyler of Brooklyn, N. Y.. spoke to Yale students in Dwight hall last evening on the subject, "The Secret of Power
 Dr. Cuyler at the outset of his ad- dress laid great stress on mans own personality as being one of the great secrets of power Phillips Brooks was a splendid example of this. Some one has said that the best sermon Phillips Brooks ever preached was Phillips Brooks himself. Another very inpor- tant secret in a. mans power is prayer Much prayer is a mere repetition of base formulas and is not true prayer Phillips Brooks has defined prayer as "a right sentence sent Godward."
 ."My mothers prayers were worth more to me than the land of the Astors and the investments of the Wander bilts.
 Young men, you cannot be men un- less you pray, and you can't preach un- less you pray. Work in the line you pray, and pray in the line you work Again. you can't keep alive on papers current periodicals; no, nor on college text books, but you must go to the first source of truth, the Bible. Don't wor- " about the destructive criticism to which it is being subjected. It is the only book God will ever give to us that we may have spiritual life.
 Keep your faith alive, looking out for opportunities, for all our lives turn on small pivots. My own life turned on five minutes in a village prayer meeting at the time of a revival. as uI to that time I had expected to follow the profession of my father-in-law.
 'aThe only spectre I am afraid of ir eternity is the ghost of lost opportuni- ties.
 Young men. you may also well bt afraid of the. ghost of lost opportuni- ties Opportunities well used will shine crown of glory on your brows."

 On the Consolidated railroad system,
 while there has been some increase of
 earnings since the presidential election,
 and from many quarters come reports
 of Industrial revival, the earnings for
 last month are somewhat behind those
 of November, 1895, That, however,
 was an uncommonly prosperous month,
 The withdrawal of the noon express
 passenger train between Boston and
 New York via Springfield, which has been criticised at Springfield and else
 where on the ground that the trains
 were we'll patronized, appears to be
 justified as a measure of economy at
 least as regards through traffic. An
 official statement some time ago show
 ed that each of those trains carried
 only thirty-four through passengers a day out of about 1000 carried by all trains between the two cities.
 The Consolidated road, in pursuance
 of its policy of consolidating manage
 ment of the two corporations, has re-
 moved the offices of the Western divi- sion of the New England railroad from East Hartford to Hartford. In regard to the report telegraphed yesterday morning of the intention of
 the New Haven Railroad company to equip electrically track between l Hartford and New Britain and erect power house at Berlin, there is little ground for believing that the old situa- tion has substantially changed. The New Haven company has had plans there dependent upon the success or failure of the parallel trolley enterprise | between the two cities, and it's evident policy is not to deny reports of schemes
 which might hold electric projects in check When asked yesterday morning
 in regard to the reported Berlin and New Britain plans, President Clark re- | piled that he was not yet prepared to | say that the work will be immediately | undertaken; such an announcement, he added, might or might not be made | within a short time, but the general | policy of the New Haven road was | stated in the companys last annual re- | port where it was said that it was now | probable that third rail will be laid | at various points upon the company's | property during the year to come. | Short branches to the centers of busi- | ness and poulation may then be con- | structed from the company's lines"
 l Vice President Hall of the New Ha- | ven company, when asked about the Berlin-New Britain report. would only 1 say that the plan had of late been con- l sidered more seriously. He denied un- l quallfedly that any plans had been made or discussed for the extensive | ;r-l+ of H. l tenn in Connecticut by a number of elec- | tric light plants dispersed throughout | the state. He stated that the probable | origin of the telegraphed report was a | plan of the company to heat and light | by electricity it's new station at Stam- l ford, in connection with the operation
 of the Stamford Trolley company, which | the New Haven corporation controls.

Poli,s Wonderland Theater.


 The biograph splendidly began its second week at Polls Wonderland the ater yesterday, with large audiences present both afternoon and evening, and the spectators were almost bols- terous while the local views were being shown. Particularly well received was the picture which shows the Yale foot ball eleven at practice So admirably does the biograph reproduce the pho tographer's wish that the features of the men are clearly and distinctly rec ognizable as they go through the va ried evolutions of their play. The view showing the Winchester armory en- ployes going to dinner is likewise an extremely attractive one, the features of different persons in the group being easily distinguishable to persons who know them. The three Macarte sisters astonished every spectator with their daring exhibition on the swinging wire, which is the very essence of sensation- alism. There is a splendid array of speciality artists on the bill, including Ward and Curran, the Asbeys, Hanley, Logan and Hanley, Evans and Vidoca, Andy Amann, and Weston and Beas- ley The biograph will be shown four times daily, afternoons at and ,, even- ings at S:30 and 10:2O.

Rather Tough on Janus.

It seems irreverent to take a respect able old Roman divinity like Janus and parade him in print as the original two-headed boy who travelled with the Great Olympian Circus,' but it is a novel idea to use him as an advertising medium, as John F.
