ly his Thursday noon services, to be the gospel which he breaches. pr. Parker is no reactionary in theology, but he spoke up for the fundamental Christian truths with ringing words. Then he referred to the personal min istry which the statement promised with absolute approval. He declared it entirely necessary to true Chris tian ministry, and predicated good things in a church where the minister breaches Christ and looks after His people. The service concluded at the end of an hour and a half, and the only native American minister in the pastoral office among the London Con- gregational churches at this moment was happily launched upon his career whatever it may prove to be-in this great city. Already there are indica- tions of good which encourage the church very much. The pastor and his wife-very graciously referred to was she by the chairman in his ad- dress-were received with five others with the church on Sunday evening last. I know your interest, fraternal and warm, in our futures, and I hope you will believe that it has become ev- ident that our coming to London was of the Lord and means much good.
 Most fraternally yours,

humorous lines. He is an exceptional ly good tenor singer and nimble danc- CT. The role he played in "A Black Sheep" was so appropriate that throughout his stage career he is likely to be always known as "Hot Stuff" Harlan" When Hoyt C Mckee placed Harlan in the new comedy, they did not stop there. Special care was exer- cised in filling every part. Others prominent in the cast are Georgia Caine, formerly the dashing Girl from Paris" Wm. Devere, Villa Knox, Lew Bloom, Nellie O'Neil, w. H. Currie, the Clayton sisters, Jane Cooper and Thomas Evans. MT. Hoyt is with the company, and the performance is under his personal supervision.

 CUMBERLAND '61."
 Romantic love that maintains its sway in the face of a bitter family fued and amid the thunder and roar of the contending armies of the north and south forms the motive of the play which comes to the Hyperion theater Friday and Saturday, April 22 and 23. The piece is Cumberland '61." It was written by Franklin Fyles and has met with distinctive success and approval wherever presented. It comes here fresh from it's original production in New York, and will be identical in every respect with that seen by the New York audiences on the opening night.
 There will be a bargain matinee on Saturday for ladies and children at which the prices will be 25c and 50c. Sale of seats opens Wednesday. Prices, regular dollar scale.
 JOSEF HOFFMAN.
 The brilliant young pianist, fresh from his triumphs in New York and Boston, will be in New Haven at the Hyperion on Monday afternoon, April 25, and will give a matinee recital at 2:30 D. m. Additional interest is att tached to this engagement in the fact that New Haven is the only place in Connecticut he will appear at this sea- son.
 The New York Commercial Advertis- CT speaks in glowing terms of his re- citals: Ut is difficult for anyone to re- strian himself and keep from extrava- gances in speaking of Josef Hofmann's s performance. He was a marvellous child; he has become a wonderful man, for despite his few years he is a man in his artistry. No other standard will fit him, If indeed he has not establish ed for himself new one, an almost unreachable one.
 Sale of seats opens Thursday. Prices $2, $1.50 and $1.

VALUE OF CREAM.
As Compared With Meat.

One of the most valuable items in ones dietary is good, rich cream. The remark is frequently made that cream is too expensive to use freely" Such people think they must have meat every day at 10 and 25 cents per pound and do not realize that cents worth of pure cream for breakfast will do more to put on flesh than 25 or 30 cents worth of meat. An ideal portion of breakfast is that obtained from, say, four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts and a little pure, thick cream. This is one of the most delicious dishes imagina- ble and is served without cooking or trouble of any kind, and cannot be equalled in point of food value for the human body. The Grape-Nuts, con- sisting largely of grape sugar, have passed through processes similar to the first act of digestion and are there fore most easily digested, and in com bination with cream they render the cream itself easy of digestion.

Y. M. c. A. MASS MEETING.
Special Musical Programme at the
 Grand Yesterday Afternoon.

Special Musical Programme at the
 Grand Yesterday Afternoon.
 At the Grand opera house yesterday afternoon rousing mass meeting was held under the auspices of the Y. M c. A. These meetings are ordinarily open to men only, but yesterday this rule was suspended and ladies were permitted to occupy seats in the gal lery.
 There was goodly number of ladies present, and they were invited to be present at next Sundays meeting also. At that meeting Miss Wray, the well known evangelist, who is engaged in Church army work, will address the meeting. She is q wonderfully inter- esting speaker and Is always greeted by large audiences.
 Yesterday afternoon the lower floor of the opera house was reserved for men and was well filled. The meeting opened with a song service. After MT. Fenno played a cornet solo Rev. Dr. Levi Gilbert, pastor of Trinity M. E. church, gave a stirring address on the topic 'tThe Power of the Cross" He said in part
 Life is not easy; the life of the Christian is not in any way easy. Christ died on the cross full of love for men. His burden was hard one, but He bore it nobly and His self-denial was wonderful-all for the sake of men bearing and doing all in the high spirit of His consecration in order that we isrh iyn 1F is a hard duty. The duty is laid on us by God and we should take it and bear it bravely.
 Tn Corinth St. Paul held Jesus Christ up as Him crucified. His was not a cross of gold or silver, merely wood unadorned in all it's barrenness and ugliness, and yet St. Paul held it up before the world. His power to stand alone was Q power which this world has never yet fathomed.
 Some one has asked, How long will this cross endure, and how large is it? It will endure as long as there is sin and sorrow in the world and will em- brace all humanity. It is as high as the heavens and as deep as hell. Be- lieving in the cross of Jesus Christ we can sing. Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross Icling'"
 After the address the choir of Trin- ity M. E. church sang Dudley Bucks beautiful sacred cantata, "rhe Story of the Cross,' very acceptably r. R. Langdale directed and the soloists were Miss M. J. Perrin, soprano; Miss E. r. Hofer, alto; George P. Smith, bass, and +. R, Langdale, tenor

ENTERTAIN IT z NI,S.
Hyperion Theater.

Otis Harlan, so we'll known as the rollicking Hot Stuff of Hoyt's "A Black Sheep" has been withdrawn from "A Stranger in, New York" in which he assumed the title role, to ap- pear as Marble Hart' in Hoyt's new comedy "A Day and a Night This musical farce is MT. Hoyt's comedy of fering for '9s, and will be presented at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night Edward E. Rice once remarked to Harlan, 'Young man, I can't keep my eyes off you when you are on the stage. That's because you have mag netism, without which no actor can come to the front and stay there"
 Harlan is a natural comedian. Act ing with him is not laborious task. but a pleasure. He evidently enjoys himself immensely and when he laughs the infection of his laugh carries the audience with him. He is not only, moreover. a comedian who can speak

GrandOpern House.

'The Silver King' which comes to the Grand opera house for an engage ment of three nights and two matinees is accounted the most successful melo- drama of this generation. It is writ ten about the average sensational play and even so notable an authority as Matthew Arnold declared tito be Tit erature'' It was first manifested to us by Wilson Barrett, and when it was first brought out in London on Novem- Der IS, 1882, E. s. Willard made his first great hit as a stage villain in the role of "The Spider" The story is powerful and highly sympathetic. The play is now to be revived, with Carl Haswin, fine actor, in the role of Wilfred Denver, and his support will be strong. Scenically, "The Silver King" is far in advance of the melo dramas now current. As an English drama it is on a par with DEnnery's Two Orphans"
 Prices as usual. Reserved seats 10c, l5c and 25c. Nights 10 to Soc, includ- ing 100 seats on lower floor for ladies at I0c.

Stevens, are the attractions Managers Starr and Breed have to offer their patrons next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and which will surely attract them in large numbers to their excellent and com fortable play house.

They plays are of absorbing interest, due to their deep and sensational plots, full of pathos, heart interest, exceed ingly good bright comedy, make the plays thoroughly enjoyable. The scenic and mechanical effects are strictly up to date. George A. Weller in the leading roles is well supported by superior company of high stand ard.

Many believe we are on the verge of war, and the majority of these make the destruction of the Maine the real cause of war. Whatever agency discharged the mine that annihilated the battleship, the result was as dis astrous whether accident, design or treachery figured in the catastrophe. Everyone, whether reluctant to see war or not, will be interested in the views in and around Havana, includ- ing a perfest picture showing all sides of the wreck, which will be the extra ordinary feature shown by the bio- graph at the Wonderland this week. The picture was taken by the machine in a tug that circled the wreck, so that perfect view of every bit that remains above water is shown. There are also pictures of our cruisers, the Spanish cruiser eVizcaya, under way for Porto Rico, General Lee surrounded by crowd of cheering admirers in Havana, Captain Sigsbee, a number of military evolutions now in progress and in fact a complete war time series" of new and novel offerings.

Well Known Business Man of Thomp-

 The Hon. John L. Houston, ex-pres- ident of the Hartford Carpet company, died at his residence in Thompsonville Saturday. He was sixty-four years of age.
 About three years ago MT. Houston had a slight stroke of paralysis, and since that time his condition had been steadily failing. About year ago it became evident that his health de- manded relief from his onerous duties as president of the great corporation at Thompsonville and he resigned his of- flee, which was filled at the next annu- al meeting by George Roberts. Last Wednesday morning MT. Houston had a serious attack of congestion of the brain. Dr. Darling, his physician, was called, but MT. Houston failed steadily until his death.
