OBITUARY.
MRS. EvARTs CUTLER.

The funeral sermon of Mrs. Ellen l.. Knight, wife of Evarts Cutler, who died on Friday evening at 175 Edwards street, where she was passing the sum- mer, will take place at her late resi- dence this afternoon at 2;s0 o'clock. AL though Mrs. Cutler had been for many years in seclusion enforced by delicate health, she leaves many friends who will long remember the fortitude and unselfshness with which she bore her suffering, and the bright interest and sympathy upon which they could un- failingly rely.
 Mrs. Cutler was born in Atchison, N. H., July 29, 1893, the eldest daughter of Deacon Bailey and Alice Munson Knight. Previous to her marriage in 1858 she was beloved and successful teacher in Georgetown, Mass.

AT CALVARY BAPTIST.
Rev. MT. Jutten of Fall River Preached
 There Last Night.

Rev. MT. Jutten of Fall River Preached
 There Last Night.
 The Rev. J. B. Jutten of Fall River, Mass, preached at Calvary Baptist church last evening to a congregation which filled the large auditorium. Rev. MT. Jutten is pastor of the Baptist Temple at Fall River and has supplied the pulpit at Calvary church for the past two Sundays. His sermons have been very helpful. The one last night was most powerful and delivered in splendid, impressive manner. His text was from Mark, seventh chapter and twenty ninth verse: For this saying so this way; the devil has gone out of thy daughter" He proceeded to show that the generally prevailing idea that women have no determination was a mistaken one. He declared that their power of determination is very much nisapprehended. In support of his claim he pointed out notable examples of women whose determination succeed ed in making them famous, among them being Esther, Maria Theresa and Frances Willard. One of the mightiest agencies of our day is faith. The great est love of time is the love Of God and the determination to win that love is one of the greatest victories that can be accomplished.
 Determination Is the secret of the man who is bound to win. Nature aids a man who is determined. One reason why men are not more successful is be- cause they are not fully determined their mind is not made up. No man was ever lost who was determined to be saved, and the man who has the spirit of determination will get the power Many Illustrative examples were given in the course of the sermon which served to make the discourse very striking.
 Rev. MT. Jutten returns to Fall River to-day.

TELEPHONE vs. TELEGRAPH.

TELEPHONE VS. TELEGRAPH.
 It is privately learned that Colonel N. H. Heft of New Haven, the electri- clan of the New Haven road, has for some time been at work perfecting an arrangement by which the telephone will supplant the telegraph operator and instrument for communicating be- tween stations.
 So successfully has the arrangement been perfected that it is now in use in part of the New England road, where the strictest economy has been inau- surated by the Consolidated system. The introduction of the telephone con- templates the using of the generally reliable long distance wires and so far, it is said, they work to the best of sat isfaction. The economy comes in with the doing away of telegraph operators, as any one can operate the telephone.
 It is believed that the Consolidated system will apply the arrangement in the near future, first to all the small divisions, where the employment of op- orators causes an expense not commen- surate with the business, then later possibly to the big divisions.-Boston Financial News

TOWN LIFE IN PORTO RICO.
(Continued from Fourth Page.)

and patience. At the bar of the river everything is again transferred to light CTS, and thence to vessels. It is tedi- ous and expensive process. However, Arecibo is quite an important port, and has tributary to it a large district of some thirty thousand inhabitants. The want of good roads in the island makes such place as Arecibo far more impor- tant than it would naturally be.
 Farjado, which was said to have been selected as one of the landing places of the invading army, is the principal port on the east coast of the island. It has population of S,779, according to the last official statistics December, 1S3O. The port is handsome, with third class lighthouse at the entrance at the point called Cabezas de San Juan, and a custom house open to universal com- merce. The town is about one and one fourth miles from the bay. The only important industry of the district is the manufacture of muscovado sugar, to which most of the planters devote themselves. Shocks, hickory hoops, pine boards and provisions come from the United States in considerable quan- titles. Sugar and molasses are export ed and occasionally tortoise shell. The climate is temperate and healthy.
 Naguabo, on the east side, is small town of only about two thousand in- habitants, and in the harbor there is another smaller place, called Playa de Naguabo, or Ucares, with about fifteen hundred. The capital of the depart ment, Humacao is nine miles from Naguabo, and has four thousand in- habitants-the district comprising more than fifteen thousand.
 Arroyo, in the district of Guayama, the southeast portion of the island. is a small seaport of about twelve hun dred inhabitants. The annual exports to the United States average seven to ten thousand hogsheads of sugar, two to five thousand casks of molasses. and fifts to one hundred and fifty casks and barrels of bay rum.
 The oldest town on the island is Aluada, where Columbus landed on his second voyage, and where Ponce de Leon also stopped. It has 2,563 people,

Symposium of Confessions by Famous
 Gallic Personages.
 Is there an ideal in France? One might be disposed to question this. The French character, which brides itself so much on it's lucidity and logic, is essen- tially realistic. It has it's moments of Tartarinesque exuberance but then Tartarin was one of the most practical of men. An inquisitive writer in the Figaro has recently addressed a ques- tionnaire or circular demand to many of the most eminent and some of the most strikingly mediocre personages in this country, requesting them to state what was their ideal at the age of twen- ty. Most of the answers are curious all are interesting. Some are hypocrit- ical, others bombastic, and those which
