The principal event was the in- itiation as member of one of New Ha- vens best known and highly respected Scottish citizens, Robert Liddell. Not for many a day has there been gathered together at a. meeting so many of the old members of the club as was present last night. It might have been well styled a gathering of the fathers of the organization, the majority pres ent having joined the society when it was in it's infancy.
 Chief w. c. Mcintosh ably presided and acted as master of ceremonies At the close of the regular business, on the invitation of Mir. Liddell, the members remained and took part in a smoker An abundant supply of refreshments was served, after which song and sen- timent were the order of the evening. Complimentary speeches were made, and these were followed by vocal con- cert carried out by the members. Be- fore parting the large company joined in singing with much enthusiasm the Star Spangled Banner and Auld Lang Syne.
 It was voted by all present that the meeting was one of the most enjoyable that has been held for a long time.

and crowded houses will no doubt greet them. The weaving together of the fortunes of the Countess de Liniers with those of the poor blind waif; the wedding of the Chevalier de vaudrey to humble farmers daughter from Normandy, the exhibition of the Fro- chard family, "who have been outlaws for a hundred and fifty years with the old hag of a mother equally capable in whining and in savagery, and the brutal ruffian of an leaders son, to whom work, honesty and piety are alike; the extreme cleverness of the in- troduction of Marianne, the outcast, to the orphan sisters, so that at the crit ical moment she may take the place of her benefactress and be sent to Cayenne in her stead-all this is excel lent in it's way, and the added touch of pictuesqueness and of pity which comes through the sweet-souled cripple, Pierre Frochard, who exists by melo- dramatic law in exact defiance of his family tradition, is perfect in it's kind Summer prices will prevail, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

BANANAS.
Are They Good to Eat Uncooked.

Are They Good to Eat UncOOked
 Sarah Tyson Rorer, the famous food expert, answered this question, ''No, except in the countries where they grow"
 Some one asked, What about Cereal Coffees?"
 Many of them are coffee and very poor coffee at that, do not be deceived by them. If it is true cereal coffee, it is an excellent food drink Mrs Rorer, herself, uses Postum because she knows it to be the original, pure Cereal Coffee, that is so widely and grossly initiated by adulterated coffee mixtures. She also knows from an alysis that more genuine nourishment is contained in a good hot cup of Pos- tum than is generally found in the balance of the breakfast.
 A weeks use of Postum will make one feel that elastic thrill of life that one remembers made existence a bliss in the boyhood days, and those delights of health come back again if we feed the body on properly selected food, such as is found in Postum.
 Grocers sell Postum.

THE PARIsIAN NEwsBoY.


 He is a type that interests me consid- erably. He is dressed neatly, to begin with. He generally carries an umbrel- la, and not unfrequently-giv you my word that I am not exaggerating-he puts by his money to get hold of a frock coat and silk hat. He offers his papers without the slightest air of con viction. The government has forbidden him to declare the latest news--if any publicity, and accordingly he lets the papers sell themselves on the strength of their names. A London newsboy, with the latest Special under his arm containing the result of the last race, would cease to be a mass of newspa- pers, rags and lawful tragerdies'' if he came across his French brother, and would calmly fold himself up and die from sheer grief. He would turn cold at seeing man quietly taking out his purse and rendering you the exact change for 5-franc piece, and not having the intelligence to go into a public house close by with a back en- tance to it.
 Perhaps it is the fact that racing does not excite the editor that accounts l for this. The racing results are given | on an entirely different basis. Sporting | journals issue to subscribers a small l sheet, resembling a telegram, after each race, and these are stuck up in the | cafes and gargottes as they arrive. Accordingly the newsboy comes on the scene later in the evening more impas- sively, and as there are no contents | bills in France on account of the stamp | tax, he is spared the trouble of helping out the sub-editor with delicate lies that the latter would envy, but would
 not have dared to put in four-inch type. Still, they are not entirely devoid of | the enterprise of their London brethren and they use that old trick that is so dear in suburban districts, and which | next to Bradshaw Guide'' and This | mans father was my fathers son. has l caused more blasphemy than anything | I know of.
 You are sitting quietly reading, when there is hoarse cry of "Le Jour-edi- | tion speciale." You wonder what the | special could be about, for, as a rule,
 ''Le Jour" comes out regularly at 3 in the afternoon. You pass over your
 amazement and continue reading, when | a veritable army rush through the 1 street crying at the top of their voices. l You try to imagine what has happened Has Rochefort turned Christian; has | the government decided to sell matches | that will light; has-well, what has 1 happened? You scorn heart troubles, | and bolt afte the boys. When you buy
 the paper, you know.-From To-day.
