system, in the presence of any jury of
physicians that may be selected, germs
that have been cultivated into deadly
activity by the usual processes. All l
ask is that 1 may be given time to err
adicate from any system any predispo-
sition to the disease that the germ
represents"
The physicians in whose presence DR..
Powell has made the experiments have
been completely dumbfOunded by the
ease and facility with which he has up
rooted medical landmarks and smashed
the chilled steel theories of science.
While admitting that there is no room
for doubling the truth of his state
ments, they are not willing to admit
that the theories can be applied gen
orally. The matter is of such import
ance, however. that they are arranging
to have a great and convincing test
made by DR.. Powell, and any one who
is willing to submit to the same inocu-
lation as he has done, in order to set
tie forever the question Of whether or
not supposedly contagious disease can
be transmitted from one person to the
other by the medium of germs. The
whole world will await the outcome
with interest.

Analysis of Its Contents Not Yet

CHICAGO, Nov 2O.-The analysis of
the contents of John B. Ketcham's
stomach, upon which, practically, de-
ponds the exoneration or possibly ar
rest of Mabel Wallace alkup, re-
ceived an unexpected setback today.
Coroner's Physician Noel was com

widow must wait for the vindication
which she expects. The analysis will
determine conclusively whether the

hours before death.

Ford will have the courage of his in
tentions and actually will write the
story of an untold love-" but he be
trays our confidence, and, we are in
clined to think, his own.
Whatever it's name or it's ending, the
book is a careful study of one man
under the sway of love as much out
of proportion to his soul as the voice
of a cricket is to it's insignificant body,
and this study is an artistic success
1t is just what Mr.. Ford intended it
TO be. Donald Maitland, a scholar of
great power, with more than touch
of that mysticism which is the herf-
tage of his profession, Joined to a self
consciousness that is more in keeping
with the times, young though he is,
has been in love for many years with
a girl from whom he has been hope
lessly and mysteriously estranged. The
love that he may not tell to her in
any other way he pours into journal
addressed to her but which he never
hopes that she will see; in this reVe-
lation of his soul the impOtent, hope
less, morbid man is lost behind the
mighty love that stands naked before
the world, but unashamed.
The motif is a modern one. In the
worlds young days there may have
been just such men as Donald Matt
land, doubtless there were many OF
them, but they were not typical of
their age and did not find expression
in it. Writes Donald Maitland IF [
We're stronger man, [ should not now
be SObbing out my hearts blood
through the tip of a pen. Instead of
writing of my sorrow, I should have
battled for my love despite all OBJ
stacles. But l am no Alexander to cut
the knot of entanglements which the
fates have woven about me, and SO,
Midas-like, I sit mOrbidly whispering
the hidden grief, too great for me to
bear in silence longer"
Donald Maitland is not the only char
acter drawn with understanding, but
the study of him is more subtle if not
more convincing than that of Mr..
Rladgett and Mr. Whitley. The man,
Donald Maitland, we are made to see
through his soul; the others, contrast
ing with him strongly, are drawn from
WithOut-glimpses we get Of their souls,
but only through their actions. 1t is
largely in this distinction, in character
drawing, so much in harmony with the
composition of the plot and the char
acters themselves, that the art of the
author lies.

Four Aspirants in the Field for These

 Four aspirants are in the field for the legislative chaplaincies, The only as- pirant reported for the senate is Rev. Joseph Irons, of the North Methodist Episcopal church of Hartford, formerly of the English Hall work, New Haven), who was chaplain of the house in 1895.
 For the house this year there are three candidates. Rev. W. A. Richard of the South Park Methodist Episcopal church will have a strong backing in the Hartford county delegation. Rev. George r. Waters, of the First church Congregational of Glastonbury, is backed by the local representatives and County Commissioner Dean. A circu- lar which MT. Waters has sent to mem- bers throughout the state is indorsed by Revs Stone, Twitchell and Parker of Hartford. The third candidate for the house chaplaincy Is Rev. W. ".

CALvE IN CARMEN.

A Few Words to the Music Loving
 Public-The Undertaking Should Re-
 ceive the Heartiest Support.
 Mr. Bunnelps attempt to bring grand opera to this city next Monday night and for which the sale of seats opens this morning should be considered as an undertaking of more than ordinary importance. The success of the Dam- rosch company in "Tannhauser" last spring has induced the managers of the Metropolitan company to offer a per- formance of Carmen" with Calve.
 If this performance proves a success it is intended to bring the other famous prima-donnas, Madames Flames and Melba, and to this end it behooves the people of this city to give the heart jest support to this initial venture There seems to be no reason why New Haven should not enjoy the privilege of hearing grand opera at least once a month.
 There is a large number of people in this city who are regular attendants at the opera in New York, and there is a much larger number who would like to go, but who cannot afford to do so be- cause of the expenses of going to and from the big city. But if this class can not go where the opera is, the opera will now come to them. Moreover, those who cannot afford the best seats for the opera when they hear it in New York can certainly have the best here where there are no expenses for railway fare, hotel, etc.
 We are fortunate in having a large and comfortable theater with a big, roomy stage, adequate for a production of the most elaborate kind
 To some the prices charged seem un- necessarily high, But when the ex- penses which the management incur are considered it will not seem so. In the first place Madame Calve re- ceives $1, 300 for every performance, and this must be guaranteed before she will sing. Add to this the salaries of the other principals, tenor, baritone and soprano, together with the chorus and ballet, and it is seen that only such prices are asked as would make grand opera in any way profitable Undoubt- edly there is a great desire to hear Calve, and since Carmen is her most famous role it will be glorious oppor- tunity.
 The sale of seats begins this morning at 9 o'clock.

Field Pieces Wanted for Three Con-
 necticut Organizations.
 The First Light Battery, Sixth and Tenth regiments, Connecticut Volun- teers, which were brigaded with the Z yS,itr ment in the department of the South under Generals Hunter and Stevens during the war, will unite in building a monument in the state. They will combine the $1 900 allowed by the state to each organization, and ex- pect to raise considerable money be- side The fund the organizations ex- pect to raise will build a handsome monument. which will be erected with in the state, not on some southern bat tlefeld
 Recently, while on a visit to Fortress Monroe, J. T. Sloan of New Haven saw there the four field pieces, James six pounder rifles, with which the First Light Battery was armed. They were afterward turned in and twelve-pound- CT Napoleons issued on account of the difficulty experienced in supplying am munition of the right calibre. The members of the First Light Battery have asked Congressman Sperry to in tercede with the war department and get their favorite pieces, now condemn ed cannon, given the organization, so as to be placed at the base of the pro- posed monument. They are very hand some pieces of light artillery.
