BY PROFESSOR CARL BUDDE.

Lectures on the History of Religion.
 The fourth series of American lec- lures on the history of religions will be given in New Haven under the auspices of Yale university by Professor Carl Budde of the University of Strassburg on October IA, IS, IT, 21, p, 24. The sub- ject of these six lectures will be "The Religion of Israel from the Earliest Times to the Exile" Professor Budde is not only a distinguished master of Old Testament studies, but is also an accomplished and pleasing speaker and will treat his subject in semi-popu- lar manner, so that those who take pains to hear him will feel well re- paid.
 His theme introduces one at once into the crucial question of the historical origin of the religion of the Bible. While his point of view is that of mod ern Biblical criticism his treatment will be positive and constructive through out, and the growth of Israefs religion will be clearly portrayed step by step from the days of Moses to the cap- tivity. No one who desires to know what modern scholarship is saying about the Hebrew foundations of Chris tianity can afford to miss these lectures The hour and place of their delivery will be announced later.

PoIrs Wonderland Theater,

A real good show at the Wonderland this week has already drawn two crowded houses. Its features are the best of comedy, especially in the little play Supper for Two'' presented by Bert Coote and the beautiful actress Miss Julia Kingsley with excellent SUD- port. MT. Coote's work is indescriba- bly, funny, devoid of extravagant effort and perfect in every detail, Just as important and as well done is the work of Miss Kingsley, and J. K. Emmet has a delightful little comedy in 'Artie s Dream in which he is assisted by Miss Alice Mortland and Baby Beatrice" The interpolated scene from Fritz in Ireland' is a capital picture from the halcyon days of the elder "Fritz,'' when that actor was the pet of the nation.
 Miss Ethel Levy, pretty, winsome and a great singer of coon songs, has made a wonderful hit. Others in the bill are the biograph, Niblo the mono logist, the Three Westons, Guigere and Boyer, Kelly and Reno, Tannean and Claxton.
 Prices 10c and 200. Ladies in the af- ternoon, 10c. Bikes checked free.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
(Continued from First Page.)

on retrenchment and reform. Alder men Lambert and Staub were appointed members of a special committee to con- sider a petition from the board of po- lice commissioners asking that they be allowed to buy horses and other sup plies without advertising for bids, as is required under the charter.
 The layout for a bicycle path through EdgeWood Park was accepted. A set Of rules to govern the duties of the lamp inspector reported by the lamp committee and objected to by Alderman Chillingworth on the grounds that they delegated to the inspector powers which properly rest with the court of common
 council, was referred back to the com
 mittee. On motion of Mr Chilling
 worth, it was voted that all messages
 received from the mayor should be
 printed in the journal in time for the next succeeding meeting of the board
 communication was received from
 the board of finance recommending the
 transfer of $S,400 from the account of
 paving streets to the account of repair
 of streets. The recommendation was
 adopted unanimously. No streets are |
 but the expenditure of the sum is left
 to the discretion of the department of
 public works. The board receded from
 it's former action In ordering the assess
 ment of $1000 benefits upon the Fair
 Haven and Westville Railroad com-
 pany for the building of the East Chapel street railroad bridge and con- cured with the councilmen in raising the assessment to $2,000. It was voted to order that the assessments for per- manent pavements be paid on or before January 1, 1899.
 The matter of repaving Temple street through the Green was laid upon the table until such time as there are suffi- cient funds to cover the cost of repairs
 The report of the committee on re- trenchment and reform concerning the disposal of sewage at Springside Farm
 was referred to the department of pub lie works, with instructions to report a plan for the permanent disposition of sewage at the farm.
 Early in the session it was voted to order the director of public works to prepare plans for a new bridge over l West river at Derby avenue. Just be- fore the board adjourned this vote was reconsidered on motion of Alderman Pickett, who then moved that there be | incorporated in the order for the build ing of the bridge a clause requiring the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company or any other corporation crossing the new bridge to pay either lump sum commensurate with the privilege or an annual rental. The or der thus elaborated was passed unani- mously.

DEATH OF HENRY F. M,DERMoTr.
Occurred Suddenly Yesterday After- noon.


 Henry D. McDermott, son of John Y. McDermott, and well known young man of this city, died suddenly about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Grace hospital. The young man was seen, by two women who live near by, to fall suddenly at the corner of Edge wood avenue and Beers street. The two women rushed out to see what was the matter, and just at that moment William E. Morgan, jr., who was driv- ing by, stopped, and, seeing that the prostrate man was seriously i'll, drove quickly to Grace hospital for medical assistance. The unfortunate young man was taken to Grace hospital. He was unconscious when taken there and did not recover consciousness before he died.
 Acting Medical Examiner Eliot was notified and after examining the re- mains decided that death was due to an overdose of hydrocyanic acid, one of the deadliest of poisons, for which there is no known antidote. The re- mains were removed to the home of young McDermott's parents, No. 268 Orchard street.
 The deceased was about twenty five years of age and was graduate of the Sheffield Scientific school in the class of 1896. He then did some post -gradu- ate work and was appointed about a year ago an assistant in the College of Physicians and Surgeons In New York city.
 He was seriously III with appendicitis last spring and was operated upon at New Haven hospital. He recovered from the operation, but it left him in a weakened condition and he had not since regained his health. Owing to his ill-health he was unable to resume his duties in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Owing to his long-continued ill-health, and inability on account thereof to resume his work, he had re- gently become Respondent A week ago he had an attack of heart failure, and for few hours it was feared that he would not recover. It is quite possible that the attack of yesterday was of a l like nature. He was prominent in Y. M. c. A. work and was a member of Dwight Place church, where he was closely l identified with the young peoples work in the church. He was young man highly respected, and the news of his sudden death comes as great shock l to his many friends.

THE GREAT FOOD SHOW.
Formally Opened Last Night-Two
 Thousand People Present

Formally Opened Last Night-Two
 Thousand People Present.
 The formal opening of the fourth an- nual food show at the Second regiment armory occurred last night under the most suspicious circumstances. About 3:30 o'clock, in the presence of upwards of one thousand people, the genial man. ager, Lewis D. Chidsey, made the open ing speech in his characteristic manner. He told something of the objects of the show and then introduced Hon. Alexan- der Troup. MT. Troup said that pure food was something in which the pub lie were, or at least ought to be, greatly interested, and that this show afforded them an opportunity of seeing and sam bling some of the finest goods that were produced. He congratulated the man. agement on their enterprise and their success in placing before the New Ha- ven public such an exhibition.
 The other speakers were Corporation Counsel Ely and Congressman Sperry. Their speeches were short and of sim liar import to that of MT. Troup's. Both men congratulated the management.
 Between and 10 o'clock about two thousand people attended the show, and the hours spent were indeed most pleasant and profitable. The amount to be learned by such an exhibition as this is very great and the small price charged for admission could not be bet ter invested. The scene which is pre- scented to the eye of the observer on his entrance into the spacious armory is one to be long remembered. The booths of the many exhibitors are gaily dec- orated with almost every color known, and brilliantly illuminated with myri- ads of incandescent bulbs. Atwater's s orchestra in the south gallery played a programme of catchy music last night and will continue to do so during the remainder of the show 1t will be open from 2 to 10 each day.
 It is interesting to see how the peo- pie crowd about the booths where sam pies are given away, in order to get what they consider their share of the great show.
 Mrs. Rorer will begin her lectures at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the subject "A Simple Fast Day Dinner''-bisque of oysters, planked fish with puree of potatoes, Ceylon sauce, mock Char lotte and custard sauce.
