MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.
Suggestions by Rev. Mr
Squires of West Haven.

At the 4:3o o'clock praise service at
the West Haven Congregational church
yesterday afternoon the pastor, Rev. N.
]. Squires, spoke Of the observance of
Memorial day and said that he thought
that there should be a radical change in
the manner in which the day is observ-.
ed. He said that in recent years it has
become lne custom 10 look upon Memo
rial day as the occasion for a good time,
for a celebration. Ball games, boxing
bouts and similar amusements are ar
ranged, and the original purpose for
which the day was set aside is lost sight
Of Mr.. Squires said that he thought
that it was proper to have noise and
Notification on the Fourth of July, but
that one Fourth was enough and that
Decoration day ought rather to be de-
voted to doing honor in fitting way to
the men in memory of whom it was es-
tablished. The day should be one of
quiet instead of one of noisy celebra-
ton.
Yesterday morning Rev. Mr.. Squires
exchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr.. Ives
Of Stratford.

TWO CARRIAGES COLLIDE.
Benot Fontane Run Into by Unknown
Party


Party.
Two carriages came together in col
lision in front of Kinney's stables on
Congress avenue yesterday afternoon.
One was driven by Benoit Fontaine of
Congress avenue and the other was oc-
cupied by young man and girl whose
names are unknown. The accident ap-
peared to be due to miscalculaton by
both parties The fact that both horses
were not moving swiftly prevented pos
sible serious injuries to some of the par
ties concerned. AS it was, however,
both carriages were damaged and their
shafts broken.
The carriage driven by the unknown
parties belonged to the Mcdonald sta
bles and suffered in addition to the 9TH
er damages broken whiffletre and a
bent hub.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, Hut Look for the
 Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Amer- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs. of poor di- gestion.
 Real organic disease is incurable; but not one ease iii a hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is effected by the form of poor diges- tion, which causes gas ana fermenta- sti0n from half digested food. There IS feeling of oppression and heavi- ness III the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisOns the blood, making it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di- gestion and to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleas ant and effective digestive prepara- ton, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive clements in 0 pleasant, convenient form.
 t is safe to ny that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can- cer of the stomach
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents, Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, Mar shall, Mich.

A BURGLARY
Mccain Grocery Co. This Time the
 Victims.

Some time last night the store of MoCain Grocery Company, on Main and Fourth, was entered by mlscre- ants, an entrance being effected through the side dool.
 The burglars deprived the cash drawer of it's contents, about $1.50. and some bread tickets. and went on their way unmolested. Nothing else than the things mentioned was talk en.
 Evidently the entrance was effect ed by means of a pen knife; an aper- ture being cut in the door sufficient for the latch to be easily operated. The job must have taken two hours and it is surprising that this part of the city should have been free of passersby or watchmen for so long a time. It is thought the robbers are gang Of young boys abouf town.

Pr.teclton for Gel nnnns.

Washington, March 2.-To carry out 5he Presidents promise relative to the protection of German rest dents and property in the Philip pines. a cable dispatch has been sent to Admiral Dewey and one tc Gen. Otis, instructing them on that point,
 The published statement in cer- tain newspapers that the German proposition included the extension of the protection of the United States over German interests in the Samoan group, it is said at the State department, is erroneous. The Ger man ambassadors proposition touched only the Philippines. The treaty of Berlin imposes upon the three treaty powers which under took the government of Samoa the duty of maint aiming one or more warships there at intervals, and the protocols to the treaty show that no matter what might be the nationali- ! ty of the vessel that happens to be on the station, in the event of tro.- ble she was 10 protect the interest," ts of all three treaty powers, without discrimination.
 
 That was the position taken by Capt. Sturdevant, of the British cruiser Porpoise, when he came to the assistance of the American Chief Justice at Apia during the recent disturbances. He held that the treaty required him to protect any nationality.
 If the German cruiser Fake leaves Apia, any British or American war vessel that might happen to be tnere afterward either the Porpoise or the Philadelphia would be under treaty obligation to pfotect German subjects and intereSts.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

No girl believes dn long engagements who can get a short one.
 He who would be tho master Of Love must first become his servant.
 A woman always has lot of sym pathy for q man who pretends he hasn't any for himself.
 The average girl has an idea that when man is in loyo with her he al- ways talks about her to his dog.
 A man feels sort of queer when he hears that the woman he was once en- gagged to ds going to get 8 divorce.
 When two men quarrel one of them Is wrong; when two women quarrel both of them are.
 What God and the angels do not un- derstand about human nature is known only to tho women.
 At the bottom of half Of the married trouble in the world Is a nagging wife and at the bottom of the other halt is an indulgent husband.
 For the first six months the average married man wonders how his wife ever came to do 1t; for the next six he wonders how he ever came to do it himself.

NEGRO WHIPPED. PUNISHMENT METED OUT TO A NEGRO
 BRUTE. CONFESSED HIS CRIME. Citizens We're Dissatisfied With the Fine That Was Im-
 posed.
CONFESSED HIS CRIME.

Hope, March 1.-Morris Christo- pher, the negro arrested here Mon day afternoon charged with having committed an outrageous crime on young white woman of this city, was taken from jail last night by citizens and terribly whipped. The negro confessed his crime and his punishment, which .was severe in the extreme, is regarded as just.
 The citizens who punished the eulprit were orderly and did thei' work very quietly.
 Morris Christopher was a colored drayman about IT years old, His crime was a peculiarly atroeious and revolting one and was different from any ease on record.
 Christopher was arrested on Mon- day afternoon and on Tuesday was tried and fined $50 for his offense. The citizens were not satisfied with this punishment and last night took the law into their own hands.
 The report that an attempt was made Mo nday night to burn the negro at the stake was erroneous.

London, March 2.-The Filipino European Junta has received the following dispatch from Manila, dated February 28;
 The last encounters have been real battles. We now hold Pasig, Pateros and Guadalupe. Our north efn llne has advanced to Tondo. The American losses are far larger in proportion than ours. We hold six hundred American prisoners, who will be taken into the interior. Not one of our Leop.e has surrendered and our government maintains its independence and will not yield.
