NEW HAVEN PROPERTY.

Decision Handed Down by Judge Case
 of Hartford
 Hartford, July 24.-Judge Case filed a decision with the clerk of the court of common pleas to-day, denying the mo- ton to dissolve the temporary injunc- ton in the suit of the Pennington Savings bank against Ida Rubin of New Haven and others. The injunc- ton was to prevent the defendant from collecting rent on q piece of property in New Haven on which the bank held the mortgage, and the defendants the equity. They had done practically nothing to satisfy either the interest or the principal and claimed the right to collect the rents which the plaintiff de- nied and secured the temporary injunc- ton which Judge Case now refuses to dissolve.
 The demurrer to the complaint was overruled by Judge Case in the suit of Georgia A. Norton of Hartford against Lyman C. Camp and wife of Vest brook. The suit Is in regard to piece Of property on Flatbush avenue in this city, sold by the defendants to the plaintiff who alleges that at the time of the sale it was represented the prop erty was clear from encumbrance, but she has since found a right of way across the property existed, and claims $500 damages.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
letter from Lieutenant Gruener.

LGJIbT lIOll ucilCl' Lieutenant Theodore Gruener, former ly of this city, writes from Indian, F, l., to friend, very interesting letter, a part of which is as follows:
 We are about Settled down for the rainy season and have gone into garri- son. We very probably will be here till November. as we can't move out, and perhaps longer. The rainy season has brought cooler weather, and 1t is very comfortable, about 70 or 72.
 "The months of April and May have been hot and sickly, and very nearly 150 of our battalion are sick either here or in Manila. But we hope for great bene- fit from the change in the temperature. A first lieutenant was sent to the Unit ed States hopelessly insane, always talking about court martial and boards of inquiry; brought on by worry mostly. His name is Batchelder, and he was one of the incest fellows in our battalion and so gentlemanly We miss him very much and deplore his sad fate greatly
 "The instruction has been put down for good, I believe. since the middle of February, and the desultory attacks that some of our United States papers take pains to dilate upon, so often, are simply attacks from ambush upon very small parties of United States troops, by robber bands that have been created by the unsettled condition of these is- lands for the last three or four years, and they cannot be caught as the whole population stand in with them and give information of our movements And as long as these robbers are unpunished they, have no fear of us. If we would shoot down lot of these people caught that way they would have respect for us but as it is now they have no fear of us, except that they will not fight us oonn1V ''

DOCTORS FOOD TALK.
Selection of Food One of the Most
 jmp ortant Acts in Life.

Old Dr. Hanaford of Reading, Mass, says in the Messengers" "Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal control that the proper selection of food should be, and is one of the most i'm portant acts in life.
 'tOn this subject I may say that l know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutri- ment, sthan the modern Grape-Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is suf- ficient for the cereal part of meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another
 'I am convinced that the extensive and general use of nigh class foods Of this character would increase the term of human life, add to the sum total of happiness and very considerably inn prove society in general. I am free to mention the food, for I personally know of it's value"
 Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes in arms. or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly either cold with cream, OF with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of buildings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape Nuts. The food Is concen- trated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of meal.

After thirty con- tinuous years in the ministry CWlth the loss of only one Sabbath from sick ness) and fifty years of study, teaching and preaching he had been advised to take this course and accept occasional service as pulpit supply. He has al ready had several invitations at the north and so may defer removing to the south, as he had planned. He will con- tinue to supply the Cheshire church and to reside here till the middle of Sep tember and then decide on his future home. He thanked his people for mak- ing the last months of his pastorate so pleasant and for all the expressions of good will received and closed with an appeal to all to live for and in, the other world even while living in and en- toying this world. and implored divine forgiveness for every error In the "ac- count" and every mistake in his stewardship" The church is in an excellent condition for the next pastor.
 The statistics of his ten years pas- torate are as follows:
 Funerals, 147 pastoral calls, over B. GOO: sermons and addresses, over 2,00O: number received into the church, 163; there have been 172 deaths and remov- als, so that the membership, usually over 300, is now about 270. the number ten years ago.
