charge of Rev. J. G.. Gooding, the Metho-
dist pastor, and began promptly at 3
o'clock. The music for the day was
furnished by the choir of the Congrega-

presiding at the organ. AS a matter of
course, the music was of fine quality.
After the rendering Of an anthem
by the choir, the opening prayer was
made by Rev. D. w. Lyman, the
Baptist pastor. Rev. Mr.. Gooding read
a Scripture lesson from Joshua, 4th
chapter, lst to 9TH verses, inclusive, and
took the 9th and 9TH verses of the lesson
for the text of the discourse. which he
proceeded to deliver. 1t was an excellent
sermon, thoroughly appropriate to the
occasion and was well received bv the
audience. 1t also had the merit of be-
ing not too long.
After music Rev. j. G.. Gooding made
| the closing prayer and the hymn
America was given by the choir, the
audience joining in the singing. Mr..
GOoding pronounced the benediction.

Cyclones of terrific force and destruc-
tiveness have visited several sections
of the West this week. The worst of
them all struck st. Louis Wednesday
afternoon and from the meagre reports
in Yesterdays dailies it seems to have
been the worst visitation of this sort the
country ever knew. The storm was
followed by heavy rain, and the wreck
ing of the electric light plants left the
city in darkness. Hundreds of people
were killed in the city and in surround
ing towns, but the reports are very in
complete. On Monday there were
cloud-bursts in Michigan, killing 10 per-
sons and njuring 20 at Ortonville and
killing or hurting many more at Oak
wood, Thomas, North Oxford and Mt.
Clemens. On Sunday a tornado swept
portions OF Kansas and Iowa. A score
of persons at least were killed and over
30 fatally hurt by this storm, which
made greatest havoc in Polk and Jasper
counties, Iowa.

4 aRMENIA Ar ouR Doon.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 In your issue of last Saturday mo- tlced an article, under the above head ing, representing about thirty Armeni- ans as homeless and hungry and in dire need of every necessity of life in this city of New Haven. l am glad to say that such is not the case and re- gret very much that the writer of the article has been misinformed, and per haps, led by a laudable desire to help these Armenians, has made the impul- sive appeal to the people of New Ha- ven without a second thought or in- vestigation. ..
 It is true that about thirty Armeni- ans are now among us. They have lost everything. There is hardly one among them but has brothers, father, mother or friends murdered or imprisoned, or property destroyed or pillaged, How ever, nearly all of those that are now in this city have been well housed, and their personal friends have generously helped them to start new homes in this city. Already three houses have been rented and comfortably furnished for three families, and several young men are living in furnished rooms at pres ent. I have personally attended to the needs of these people and found all my friends ready to do all they can to help them to new start, and but for the article of our unknown friend the pub lie would not have been the wiser about it all. Work has already been secured for several men at their respective trades, and only six or seven men are as yet without work, but we hope that kind friends that are interested in them will soon find work for them also and thus put them on an Independent be- sis. Already a night school has been started for them and it is well attend ed, and I have no doubt they will all speak English f1uently before many months, as there are several college graduates among them. .-. .
 The request that furniture or other necessities be sent to these thirty Ar menians at 205 Edgewood avenue is given either prenaturely or by some misunderstanding as no Armenian is living at that number. Respectfully,
 JOHN c. KEBABIAN.

CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING.

Delegations from all divisions of the Independent Order of Railway Conduc- tors assembled at Odd Fellows hall yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the large room occupied by the grand divi- sion of the order and permanent head quarters of the local section of that organization. A large number of can- didates were initiated Addresses were made by prominent members of the various divisions of the order and great interest was manifested in the progress and development of the principles en- bodied in the code upon which the or ganization is based The day was se- lected as one of thanksgiving.
 The Independent Railway Conductor has no sympathy with the disorder and lawlessness attending the methods of striking organizations, and holds it in cumbent upon himself to perform all duties to his employer honestly, loy- ally and faithfully giving the best pos- sible service, as the true basis for in- creased remuneration and advance ment. The code declares that we also owe a duty to the public which de- mands sacrifice of personal considera- tions, and under no possible circum- stances can we assume the right to ob- struct the business of the country or delay innocent travellers in order to right a personal grievance" and be- lieve all violent attempts to secure fla vor or employment are unnecessary: that all differences. of whatever char acter or nature, can be amicably and honorably adjusted in just and req sonable manner. The order is a bene- ficial one. Each member is insured, the minimum amount being $500 There are no salaried officials. Some divisions also pay weekly sick benefit,
 The unique and wonderfully success ful Railway Conductors exhibit and fair five years ago was held under the auspices of New Haven division No. 1, and the prosperity of the order and in creasing interest manifested induced the observance of this day as one of special thanksgiving.

Held at Warner Hall Yesterday-W. E.
 Fenno of the Railroad Y. M.- c. A.
 Spoke-Professor Hadley to Speak on
 Capital and Labor Next Sunday.
 A series of Sunday meetings is be- ing held by the local branch of the Y. M. c. A. In Warner hall The meetings have been held for some weeks and each week some well known speaker makes an address. The meetings thus far have been attended by large and interested audiences. w. B. Fenno of the Railroad Y. M. c. A. of this city, recently organized, spoke at yester- days gathering on ''Decision as Illus trated in Railroad Work" MT. Fenno presented his subject in an interesting manner, illustrating his points by graphic accounts of incidents ill his railroad experience. He impressed up- on his hearers the necessity of making a decision and the right decision now. He told of the danger of delays. He told of when he was a ticket agent selling sleeping car tickets at the Grand Central station in New York, how hun dreds of people would buy tickets from
 
 him, each person to leave New York on the same train, but all bound for different places and over different lines. MT. Fenno said that these people had settled in their minds before coming to buy tickets over which route they pre- ferred to go and in like manner every one must decide what course he will pursue through life and before making the final choice must be sure that he is choosing the right course.
 Henry McDermott, Yale '96, accom- panied the singing of the meeting with the organ. It was announced that next Sunday afternoon at o'clock Professor Arthur T. Hadley of the department of political economy in Yale, would speak oh Capital and Labor" Professor Hadley will speak of the ethical ques- tIons involved in a consideration of the topic.

A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison in Your Body
 Longer Than You Have To.
If your stomach poisons your live

If your stomach poisons your liver the consequences may be serious,
 What poisons arise in your stomach come from undigested food which has decomposed there. They are absorbed by your blood and go to your liver, where they paralyze it's functions and make you bilious.
 Finally they go into the blood again and are carried all over the body, dis ordering your different organs, and perhaps making you dangerously sick.
 This is the origin of many diseases which are not always known for what they are.
 The poisons of undigested food can only be got rid of by the use of puri- flying, strengthening, digestive tonic, like the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 A few doses of this wonderful cordial will soon clear away all undigested, fermenting, poisonous substances, re- store your appetite, aid you to digest your food, purify your liver and blood of all dangerous poisons, and restores you to perfect health.
 It will cure biliousness, indigestion, nausea, headache, dizziness, mental depression, weakness, fever, flatulence, constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in mouth, stomach-ache, anaemia, rheumatism, etc, where other medi- cines will barely give relief.
 At druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.
