DIED IN SCOTLAND.
Received Yesterday of the Rather Sudden Death of the Father of MT. James NIustarde.

We regret to learn of the rather sud- den demise of James Mustarde, ST., father of our respected townsman, James Mustarde, 94 Crown street. The deceased gentleman was sixty-two years of age and up to the time of his death was in fairly good health. He received stroke of paralysis on the morning of December 29 and passed peacefully away at S:30 the same af- ternoon. He never regained conscious ness after the attack.
 MT. Mustarde was born in Montrose on January 21, 1888, and passed his days in that pretty northern town. He married and raised his family in the house in which he was born. He was for over a quarter of a century in the employment of Robert Millar & Sons, timber merchants and exporters. Retir- ing by disposition he never entered the vexed arena of local or imperial poli- ties but could discuss the leading questions of the day in a most intelli- gent manner, either with friend or an ultra rabid of the opposite opinion. He was held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. A widow and four children are left to mourn his loss-James and David, both in this city, Mary (Mrs. Veitch) in Edinburgh, and George in Kilkaldy, Scotland.

Reopening of the Protestant Episcopal
 Church.

During last spring the church was seri- ousiy damaged by fire.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY, JAN. IA
IHE ANNUAL LAPPEAL [ FOR NEEDED
 HID
of the More Than 1,2OO Gases Treated the Past Year Charitable Funds Had tO he Used

the Past Year Charitable Funds Had
 to be Used.
 Following is the annual appeal for aid for the New Haven hospital just issued:
 In accordance with the usage of many years the New Haven hospital respectfully asks of the congregations assembling for worship on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 14th on Janu- ary, 1900, an offering on it's behalf.
 During the year just closed the whole number of patients treated was 1204. The daily average was 120. In more than half these cases the aid of charit- able funds was asked. Without any in terruptions of it's work, the hospital was enabled by liberal benefactions great ly to enlarge and improve the arrange ments upon which the comfort of all its inmates depends, and to add new ap- pliances for the skilful treatment of patients. A new ward, also, the cost of which was provided by few generous friends, is approaching completion These most welcome gifts, however, do not enable it to dispense with the offer ings in aid of it's current expenses which the sympathies of humane public have prompted hitherto. Rather do they become more needful as the work becomes extended Better equip ped than ever, and having increasing numbers on it's hands, it renews it's ap peal with a growing confidence that it deserves to be, and that it will be, gen. erously sustained.
 Contributions may be sent at any time to the treasurer, Charles F. Curtis, at the City bank, or to the superinten- dent, J. H. Starkweather, at the hos pital.
 On the part of the hospital society, | Charles Ray Palmer, Charles E. Graves and William G. Daggett, prudential committee

Standing in the midst of all the ruins is the huge mirror, though in hundreds of pieces; sufficient remains, however, to act as tell-tale of an awful tragedy which is enacted before it.

There are so many great pianists in these days; in many cases you can take the measure of the pianist by the overflowing meas ure of his mannerism. Paderewski stands alone. His face an impassive mask-that is always the first impress sion which he gives one But it is very subtle mask, and beneath it is a keen watchfulness, a keen appreciation: never a trace of affectation."

judgment this supposed benefit is an
error, judging from my own exper-

little money out of it by careful man
agement and saw where l could en-
large it at profit, If my head tanner
could have been induced to stay away
