fl FOREIGN MISSION COURSE, New Thing in Theological Instruction
 Rt the Hartford Seminary

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 5.--The faculty and trustees of Hartford Theological seminary have provided a course of in struction in foreign missions which they announce as "a new thing in theological instruction in this country" The course will include numerous lec- lures by expert missionaries, secreta- riea and others.
 The theory of missions, the mission ary obligations as taught in scripture and supplemented by the conditions of heather lands, as well as the apologetic value of missionary achievements will be set forth; the history of different periods and of special lands will be re- viewed; the methods of various Chris tian bodies will be compared and test ed; the different forms of missionary ac- tivity will be fully described; the re- ligious conditions of the healthier and Mohammedan world will be examined and particular attention will be given to non-Christian religions; practical topics, such as the missionary's health, will not be omitted and peculiar prob lems, such as self-support, will be dis cussed; some definite instruction and training in pedagogy will also be giv-
 en. It is further planned to furnish OF

portunity for the study of various missionary languages
 The seminary proposes greatly to augment the instruction in foreign mis- sions with the opening of the next aca- demic year. It will be designed to meet the needs of regular students of it's graduate, of the graduates of other seminaries, and of appointees to mis- sion boards. Ten per cent. of the grad uates of Hartford seminary have found their work In foreign lands.
 The library of the seminary, usually rich in all theological lines, will ne.. year contain the special correction on foreign missions made by Rev. A. c. Thompson, D. D., of Boston, which is probably unequalled in this country and will embrace over 5000 volumes on the subject. The missionary museum is one of the largest collections of the kind in this country, and include most of the articles gathered by missionaries of the American board during three quarters of a century of work in for eign lands, and which were formerly exhibited at their rooms in Boston as well as many similar articles donated by friends and missionary alumni of the seminary.
 One of the subjects to be treated will be Treaties and International Law as Relating to American Residents in Mis- sionary Countries" One of the lectur CTS will be Rev. James L. B. Barton. D. D., secretary of the American Board, Boston, whose theme will be Mission ary Organization at Home and on the Field"

HARTFORDs WRECKED PUMP.
Probable Adoption of an Electrical ! r-,.. 4. Hr,4la

Probable Adoption of an Electrical
 Equipment to Supply City Water.
 Hartford, Jan. 5.-This forenoon George Hannah the expert sent to Hartford by the International Power company of Providence, R. l.. made an examination of the wrecked engine at the pumping works on the banks of the Connecticut river, partly supplying the city with water. He found that the lower cylinder head of the engine was totally wrecked placing it beyond the possibility of repair. The upper cylin- der head is also injured and the cross bar broken into three parts. It is thought that new patterns will be re- quired, as the old ones are out of date. Two projects for immediate relief are under consideration by the water off cials. One is an electrical equipment and the other is to obtain power to run the pump by gas engines. The first named is thought at this time to be the quickest and most feasible. Pres ident Hunter and the water commits sioners are still in conference as to the best plan of solving the problem, and their decision will be given out as soon as decided upon.
 While the people of Hartford re- ceived a shock on learning of the ac- cdent to the pumping works the situa tion did not call for a number of sen sational despatches sent out last night. The situation is unfortunate especially at this time when the large storage sys- tenn is so badly crippled by the extreme drought of the fall and winter months, but the officials feel that they will be able to deal with it without causing any suffering to the citizens on &C., count of lack of water. There will be some inconvenience and rigid economy in the use of water will be required Inspectors are on duty in each ward to prevent waste.

'.The cook places three heaping tea spoons of Grape-Nuts in saucer for each guest and pours over the food some hot milk or hot water and allows it to stand ten minutes: then serve with rich cream and sugar.
 q have served the Grape-Nuts food in this way at my table to numerous friends, some of whom do not care for it dry. They are enthusiastic about it served hot, and it is so great favorite with us that I have been tempted to write suggesting that you add the above recipe to your package. "-F. w. Leavitt, Minneapolis, Minn. (Mr Lea witt is superintendent of the famous Housekeeper Magazine.)
 There are many ways Of serving Grape-Nuts and making from them tempting and delicious dishes, The variety of tastes can be suited, and under all circumstances it may be re- membered that the food is first perfect ly and completely cooked at the 'facto- ry, and gives the highest form of nour- ishment to the human body, for it is directly used by the system to rebuild the brain and nerve centers.

 In behalf of Mrs. Lawton and the children I desire to thank all those who have contributed so willingly and so generously to the fund for their sup port.
 The money has come in rapidly, and those who have supplied it have been moved to do so by their own conscious ness of what was due to the family of so gallant and so unselfish a soldier as was Hentv Ware Lawton.
 No one of you can know how much good this fund will do, and few people know, or can ever know, how well Law ton served his country, or how richly he deserved everything of good that might come to him, who had survived countless fights to die exactly the death he would choose to die-to be shot dead in battle with no one in front of him but the enemy.

NEW HAVEN FACTORIES INTER-
 ESTED

It was reported yesterday that an important industrial movement which has been taken up recently by a num- Der of the large manufacturers Of this country had interested two of New Haven's largest manufacturing con- cerns. The enterprise has been started with a view to introducing American manufactured into the countries of eastern Europe and to locating Ameri- can business interests there also.
 The two New Haven firms referred 10 are the New Haven Clock company and Sargent & Co. Both concerns, it is said, have entered into the combina- tion It is also stated that there are over a hundred American companies enlisted in the enterprise.
 Henry E. Sargent, when seen last evening, stated that he had nothing to say about the matter. Ex Mayor Sar- gent, who was enquired for, was out of town on business.

MAY INCREASE ITS STOCK
WHAT PRES. WHITNEY OF THE W1- TER RCOMPANYSAID YESTERDAY.

The Many Contemplated Improvements
 Would Necessitate Either an Increase
 ofStock or tho Issuing of New Bonds
 The Supply in New Haven Low but
 Will Hold Out Month Without Re -
 strfcting Supplies.
 Tn an interview last evening with President Whitney of the New Haven Water company, the question of the possible increase of the companys S stock for the payment of important i'm provements was discussed. The annual meeting of the Water company will be held early in February at which ac- tion on contemplated improvements may be taken.
 MT. Whitney said that as yet, how ever, no definite plans have been made for the provision of new funds al- though the company has in view exten- sive and important improvements for tllG OL IlB WdlCt SUpPlSt Mr Whitney said that the rapid in- crease in the citys population and the recent drought, which nearly caused water fanines in other parts of the state, made it necessary for an increas- ed supply here, notwithstanding the fact that New Haven has more abun dant sources from which to draw water than any other city in the state. The supply of water in New Haven has not been restricted as yet and although it is quite low at the present time there is water enough to last fully a month without restricting the supply at all. Other cities and towns have suffered greatly by the drought and if snapping cold weather should again come, freez- ing the lakes and rivers, the supply would doubtless have to be somewhat curtailed.
 MT. Whitney said that Hartford was having the hardest time of any city in the state as the water supply there has been curtailed for two or three months, and now the big pump which draws from the Connecticut river has broken down. That city is now confined to drawing water from the Pennington river, Whlch Supply mas been greatly diminished.
 No immediate action would be taken, MT. Whitney said, on the contemplated improvements in this city. He said the company would extend the improve ments over series of years and that in all probability new bonds would be issued and possibly the stock increased in the necessity for raising funds. MT. Whitney said that a tunnel connecting Farm river and Saltonstall Lake would cost less than $1000OO, but with all the necessary equipments such as engines. boilers pumps and a new dam would cost $100,000.
