ON MODERN NOVELISTS,
Third of the Lectures in the University
 Extension Center Course.

The third of a course of six lectures on Modern Novelists," delivered by Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale uni versity, was given in the United church chapel last evening, This series of lec- lures forms a part of those given by the New Haven University Extension Center, and have proved very popu- lar
 The subject of last evenings lecture was Herman Suderman," one of the best known modern German novelists. He was born in East Prussia in 1857. Most of his writings have been plays and novels. The novels are probably the best, while the plays are the most famous. Several of them are now being produced on European stages and have met with much favor. Among his best known novels and those discussed by the lecturer are Dame Care" "The Wish,' and "Der Katzensteg." The last has not as yet been translated into English. The plot of which was given, fully explained and commented upon.
 Those who have studied the works of Suderman are inclined to regard him in various ways These opinions may be classed into three groups. Some think he is decadent, others a preach CT or a social reformer, and still others an artist, dealing with abnormal types.
 The speaker preferred the last opinion and gave several reasons supporting his preference. He sharply criticized Su- derman's sentimentality and considered his works as bordering on the absurd The professors recital of the way Der Mond always full and always striking the heroine full in the face, is lntro- amusing.
 The plot of "The Wish'' is very weird and unusual. The climax comes in the opening chapter and the entire book is profoundly interesting.
 The next lecture will be on ''Kipling" next Wednesday at the same place.
 At the conclusion of this series a course of four musical lectures by Hen ry F. Krehbiel, the well known musi- cal critic and author, will be given in December and January.
 Prof. c. T. Winchester will give six lectures on Shakespeare" during Jan uary and February.
 Prof. F. B. Rosa of Wesleyan univer- sity whose lectures on "EIectricity" were so well received several years ago, will give a course in December, fully il- luStrated by eXprimentS.
 Prof. Wm. H. Goodyear, the well known writer on art, and Dr. Richard Burton so well known here, will also give courses, as we'll as others, if the patronage will permit.

HARVARD IS FUMBLING,
Safe to Predict That Cabot will be in Line
 at Start.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 10.-The Cam bridge team lined up for practice this afternoon before their game with Yale. Although the play was not lacking in Vigor, there were many fumbles. The Varsity lined up part of the time against the second eleven and part against the substitutes. To-morrows practice will consist of goal kicking and falling on the ball, while on Friday the team will merely go through the sig nals. It is safe to predict that Cabot will be in the line at the start, though there is chance of Donald to play The interest in the game seems to be increasing tremendously and every ef- fort is being made to accommodate the immense throng.

POISONED OATMEAL EATEN
lIElIBERS OF HOYT FAMILIES IN
 NEW CANAAN SERIOUSLY ILL.
An Analysis Revealed That Rough-on- Rats Had Been Put in the Cereal Which Was Served for Breakfast-A Servant, Who Has Disappeared During the Morn- ing, Said to be Responsible.

Ing, Said to be Responsible.
 New Canaan, Nov. 10.-This village is all excitement tonight over an ap- parent attempt at wholesale poisoning on account of a supposed grievance by Q discharged domestic. 'Rough-on- Rats" was used and six persons are seriously i'll, but the attending physi- elan expressed the belief that there will be no fatalities. The sufferers are members of the families of Stephen Hoyt and his son, Edwin, who conduct one of the largest nurseries in the state. Those ill are MT. and Mrs. Stephen Hoyt, MT. and Mrs Edwin Hoyt, Miss Fannie Hoyt, and a three-year-old child of MT. and Mrs. Edwin Hoyt.
 Both families, who are really mem- bers of one household, were taken i'll this morning after breakfast and then medical aid was called in and the va rious articles that had been served for breakfast were ascertained. Suspicion was directed to the oatmeal An anal ysis revealed that the oatmeal contain ed considerable poison, which later was ascertained to be "Rougho Rats" " In the meantime the domestic had completed her domestic duties as we'll as her services at the house and left for New York about il a. m., and all traces of her are lost.
 The servant is a woman of middle age and was engaged at an intelligence office at New York. She had been working for the Hoyt families only three weeks She was known only as Hannah" It was soon apparent that she would not prove satisfactory and Mrs. Hoyt gave her a weeks notice. As it is probable that none of the peo- pie will die from their unWittingly par taking of poison they are inclined to be lenient and attribute the attempt on their lives not of viciousness, but to an insane freak.

not obtainable by other correspondents. >
