This magnificent performer ON the
modern banjo, who is in every sense of
the term a virtuoso, has been doing
work that any violin virtuoso might
be justly proud of, and the press no.
tees received by him are up to the
standard of such as the best among
violinlsts receive.
How far removed is his exposition
OF banjo playing from the 'plunk-
PUNK that used to characterize a
banjo performance when such music as
Beethoven's Sonata, Op, so, is rendered
by. Mr. Farland on the banjo, and so
played that all its exquisite parts are
brought out in such perfection that a
thousand people hang upon the sweet
sounds with breathless interest and de-
light, well might the banjo be consld-
cred peer of the violin.
Tomorrow night at Harmonic hall
will be the only chance to hear and
see this wonderful musician.

Marie Berg Hangs Herself in a
Closet
Marie Berg, thirty-year-ol German
girl, committed suicide at 1890 o'clock
yesterday morning by hanging herself
in closet on the top floor of the tene-
ment house, 725 Grand avenue, corner of
Franklin street. She was employed as
a domestic in the family of A. Strouse
on Orange street, but three weeks ago
her sister, Mrs. Charles Heusler, was
taken sick. and Marie came to the
Grand avenue tenement to care for her
sisters three children and help about
the house.
Ever since she came to this country
three years ago, her head had bothered
her, and she was subject to violent
headaches.
Yesterday morning she washed some
children's clothes and went out, her
sister supposed, to hang them OUT. She
did not return and the sister searched
for her. In a closet she found her
hanging by rope tied to a gas pipe.

Kelly went to the place The body was
cold and stiff. He sent for Medical Ex-
aminer White When DR.. White arriv-
ed he ordered the policeman to cut
down the body. Two lengths of clothes
line were around her neck
Mrs. Heusler said that Marie kissed
her yesterday morning and said that
she would soon be in the graveyard

MORRIS COVE CHAPEL PROBLEM

MORRIS COVE CHAPEL PROBLEM.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier;
1t would seem to an outsider that
the people at the Cove should settle
their differences and come together and
have a love feast and unite interests
for the best good of all concerned.
They are neighbors and must live there
together, and it is far better to live as
friends; for if this present state of dis
cord, continues its evil effects will con-
tinue for years to come; in fact, it will
never be effaced. For their own sake
and good name let there be Christian
unity: for the sake of the children in
their prosperous Sunday school let
peace prevail; for the sake of the stran-
gers who may desire to settle there let
differences cease. May the spirit of
the Master move upon the hearts of the
people, and may the white-winged mes
senger of peace abide with them.
A WELL WISHER.

Puritana brings food to
the starving.
1t brings drink to the perishing.
1t brings life to the dying.
When suffering people pay their
money they don't want name or
history.
They want the real thing.
They want cure.
Puritana is cure.
The famous discoverer of Puritana,
Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., Ii. D., was
for 81 years at the head of Dartmouth
medical college.
He has founded new method of
common sense treatment, and has be-
come the most noted of all the great
Crosby physicians.
He has given the world the secret of
health.
He has shown the prime importance
of the human stomach.
All bodily power begins in the
stomach.
All relief and cure must start there.
DR.. frosty believed that if he could
make the stomach right he could make
the whole body right.
That is what Puritana does.
Palpitation of the heart is stomach
symptom.
Poor blood is stomach symptom.
Headache is stomach symptom.
Troubles of the liver and kidneys are
stomac h symptoms.
Puritana banishes all these symp-
toms.
1t strikes at the root of them all and
cures the stomach.
This is proven by thousands of
witnesses.
Puritana has cured numberless cases
of chronic dyspepsia and indigestion
after every other remedy has failed.
PuEitana has brought men and
women out of torture worse than death.
1t is doing it today.
Every day.

BOYS BRIGADE TO HEAR MR..

BOYS BRIGADE TO HEAR Mr..
GEORGE.
Colonel Clark the commander of the
Third regiment, Boys brigade, has ar
ranged for a public mass meeting to be
held next Sunday afternoon at o'clock
in the Calvary Baptist church. Mr..
George, the founder of the Boys Re-
public of New York, is to address them
on his work among the boys of that
city. His progress in the work of form
ing the Junior United States has
been watched with much interest by
the public, and it's success has drawn
attention to the fact that our boys are
eager to inform themselves concerning
the government of our country. The
Boys brigade comes the nearest to t1ll-
ing the want in New Haven, though
the work is still in a critical state, and
an extended organization like the Re
public is not yet feasible, but the work
ers among the boys are aiming to ele-
vate their morals and interest them
also in church work
The galleries will be open to the pub
lie. and every one interested is cordial
ly invited to hear Mr.. George speak on
Sunday.

Fear That VIII BE Probably justified.
The situation creates fears that while
Greece may be bent to the will Of the
powers without further coercion, fresh
jealousies will arise so soon as the
Greeks are ousted and the new regime
in Crete is inaugurated. 1t is suggested
in some quarters that events may force
Lord Salisbury to desert the concert of

Greece. But it is realized that this in
