DEAN STANLEY.
Address by Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall
 Before Mems Club.

hoioho HASh Ciuus
 Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, presi- dent of Union Theological seminary, gave an address on Dean Stanley" before the mems club at United church last evening. A personal friend and adviser of Dean Stanley President Halls address was especially sympa- thetic. He traced briefly Dean Stan ley's life and dwelt at length upon his noble and lovable character Dean Stanley prepared for Oxford at Rugby, where he, spent five years under the influence of Dr. Arnold. He entered Baliol college, Oxford, covered with the honors he had won at Rugby. He se- cured the Baliol scholarship from thir- ty competitors. On graduating he was appointed to a fellowship but spent a year traveling in Greece before settling down to university life. While at Ox- ford he easily occupied the first place as preacher and biographer. Thus two years after the death of Dr. Arnold he completed biography of his old in- structor, which has been pronounced the best tribute ever paid @ teacher by pupil. He was called from Oxford to SoAlSlp pdiy uIiN iutSl lO Dc ueuH Ol Westminster. At Canterbury he wrote several volumes. He was especially adapted for the work at Westminster Abby and he carried 1t on with loving zeal
 In August, 1876, his wife Augusta, a most lovable lady, died and his home was broken up. Five years later, on July IS, 1887, Dean Stanley died.

confident that it will be the best of the season.

"REMINISCENCES OF 1872.
The Old Fort Constitution on the Shore
 at Clinton.

The Old Fort Constitution on the Shore
 at Clinton.
 The present discussion of war has re- vived many memories among the oldest people in the town of Clinton regarding incidents of the war of 1872. Some of the old residents of Waterside remem- Der the old fort Constitution which thrown up there at the waters edge, traces of which may still be seen.
 A British man-of-war lay off Clinton, in the sound. and sent cannon balls on shore which made furrows along the meadows. An old lady is now living at Waterside, whose brothers, when they were small boys, picked up these can- no balls and whose father fired a cam non at British barge containing marauding sailors who were trying to make a landing, and drove them away.
 This fort Constitution is not mention ed in Connecticut history, although it had it's squad of soldiers and important military duties. Tradition, from eye witnesses, establishs the fact of it's ex- istence.

HYnerion Theate-
HyDeriOn Theater THE PLAY AT THE HYPERION TO-
 NIGHT.

FLA Al IlJ-
 NIGHT.
 In reviewing the first presentation by the cinematograph in New York, the Herald said: "The climax of The Passion Play the crucifixion follows quite faithfully the dramatic represen- tation at Ober Ammergau. The scene is first flashed upon the screen, the crosses to which the two thieves are nailed are in place. The Saviour's cross is still on the ground. Christ is stretched upon it. His feet and one of his hands have already been nailed fast. A nail is then driven through the other hand by one of the soldiers. Then the cross with Christ upon it is slowly raised and firmly set in place in the ground by the men. The crowd moves, the Roman soldiers mock him. But he turns his head kindly toward the two thieves. Then He raises His head as if uttering the words, Father. forgive them, for they know not what they dol The movement of the figures is most realistic. Gradually, however, his sufferings sap his strength. One of the soldiers raises sponge soaked in vinegar to his lips. A storm gath CTS and the people flee in terror. In this scene the mailing Of the hand upon the cross and the raising of the cross and the sponge of vinegar are really thrilling incidents, and the storm form ed strong climax. Very touching and tender however, was the lowering of the Saviour from the cross by Joseph of Aramthea and his servants. Two of them come forward place ladders against the cross and ascend them. They then pass linen cloths under his arms, withdraw the nails from his hands and feet, gently lower the body and bear it away. The Resurrection
