DIR. M'FARLAND TALKS.
Delivers Address Before Young
Peoples Federation.

DR.. J. T. Mcfarland addressed the
Young Peoples Good Citizenship fedora
tion last night in the First Methodist
church. his subject being Common
ticularIy to the police situation as it is,
and commended Mayor Drew in his eff
forts to close the joints.
He said the evidence was strong that
there had been collision between men,
bers of the police department and the
jointists. and that if the police had been
thoroughly in earnest in their efforts to
close the Joints .. they could have done
bribed- Somebody's hands have been
polluted. The failure of the mayor to
close the joints would be an unspeak-
able disaster to the cause, not only in
Topeka, but everywhere. The breweries
are back of the jointists, and they are
determined to break down prohibition in
Topeka in order that they may point
this city out as an example of the fail
where would be discouraged. and the
cause would receive a serious setback
from which it would take years to re-
cover Every disloyal policeman on
the force should be removed at once
We want men who can and who will
do their duty fearlessly.
Il believe that the employment of de-
tect1veS is a perfectly legitimate method
of securing evidence against the joint
lists, although some people fOolishly
cry out against it. Detectives are en-
pioyed TO catch burglars, and the crime
of selling liquor is worse than burglary.
Every man should rally to the support
of the law and order forces, for it may
be that we will have a big fight on
hand
Before the meeting was adjourned the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopte1:
Whereas, The laws of the city and
state have been shamefully violated and
defled by a few MisSour1anS in our
midst, aided and abetted by some OF our
own citizens: and
Whereas, Mayor Drew is determined
that said lawlessness must cease, and is
using his best efforts to that end;
therefore. be it
Resolved, That this monthly public
meeting held under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Good Citizenship feder-
alton, hereby expresses its hearty ap-
proval of the course being pursued by
the mayor. and that, as individuals, we
will stand by him in this fight until
every joint and saloon-drug store has
been driven from the city.
Resolved furthermore, That we
strongly endorse the action of the Min
isterial union in calling a mass meeting
of all citizens of Topeka who are op-
posed to rum rule and to the domination
OF political corruption We urge the
largest possible attendance at this meet
ing to the end that public sentiment
may be rearoused and educated into i'm
mediate and aggressive action"

La "MILLENIUM. /"
A New England Minister'S Conn
parison.

A. peculiar remark made by minister
at a New England dinner, caused some
comment He was being served for the
first time with Grape-Nuts food. He
looked up and asked what it was, and
being told, said, sThey might have
named it Millennium The hostess,
lady on the editorial staff of the Bos-
ton Waterman, further remarks:
s'Since the Millennium came to our
cuisine, we have no further occasion to
take into our stomachs the masses of
pasty, partly cooked food that we used
before Grape-Nuts came. I speak d.
rectly of myself. I had been for a long
time the victim of gastric indigestion,
brought on by steady mental work and
lack of proper food. / passed. Sleep
less nights, and work in the day time
was exceedingly difficult Many spells
of vertigo came on and my nerves and
temper were in anything but a normal
condition
Il finally had three successive night
attacks and verify thought the END
had come. I would throw out at mid
night the lunch of Scotch porridge, eaten
the noon previous, unchanged, except
that it had turned intensely bitter
Violent vomiting continued for eight or
ten hours and the after exhaustion was
all but deathly.
Il could see plainly that utter break
down was ahead of me- Just at this
time L was led to use Grape-NutS ana
found the food, cure L quickly gained
strength and. flesh; my gastric troubles
were relieved, and my sleep sweet again.
Aside from the powerful nutritive value
of Grape Nuts food. do you know that it
will impart it's delicious, nutr1tive flavor
to almost any dish that it is added to?
For instance a spoonful or two stirred
into a bread pudding before baking,
gives it a marvellous flavor, far superior
to spices. also a little cooked in custard
for lunch or supper, not only adds Spe-
cial relish, but special sustenance." Mrs.
L. S. Goodwin.

PIPER'S BROOK.
Story of How q Well Known Stream
Received its Name.

story OF How q wei known stream
Received its Name.
John Lowe, of Beaver street has re-
tanned a newspaper clipping for several
years. 1t contains an article entitled
"The Origin of Piper Brooks Name, ="
and is worthy of reprinting. It is as
follows:
"Piper's brook that malodorous
stream which wends its way from New
Britain through the rich meadow lands
of Newington, and emptes itself into
the still more polluted waters of Hog
river, owes it's name to the musical
skill Of resident Of New Britain.
Away back in the forties, when the New
York and New England railroad was
being built from Hartford to New Bri-
tain, a number of Irish labnrers en-
ployed in the construction of the road,
occupied a shanty near Pratt's station,
Like all rolllcking sons of the Emerald
Isle they were fond of music and de-
lighted in dancing On summer even
ings after their hard days work they
We're wont to enliven their cherries life
of drudgery and toll by a break down"
or an Irish reel. John Lowe, a respect
ed Irish citizen, who now enjoys the
peaceful evening of well spent life in
a snug home at the back of Dublin HILL
used to go over to Pratts station with
bagpipes and play for his light hearted
countrymen. One Of the young people
of this neighborhood, who took partic-
ular delight in seeing the natives of the
land of his ancestors enjoy themselves
in their old country style was Thomas
Brady, the electrician. Indeed Mr.
Brady was not above taking part in the
enjoyable pastime himself and partici-
pated With zest that won for him the
boisterous admiration of the stalwart
Irishman. Yesterday Mr.. Lowe and Mr.
Brady met and talked about the good
old times. Their "reminiscences would
not have been complete if they had not
recalled Mr. loves we'll earned reputa-
ton as a piper and Mr.. Brady's youth
full but highly successful imitation of a
break down. The farmers of the vi
entity used to assemble when their
chores We're done and enjoy the
dance. Some one suggested that they
call the stream, which was then famed
for the purity of its water, 'Piper's
brook in honor of the piper and to
perpetuate the memory Of the rolllcking
times which were had in the shanty
built on it's banks The suggestion was
taken up and to this day the stream
has been known as Piper's brook -

Intensely Duit Yesterday.
New York, May 25-The stock market
was intensely dull to-day. There was
no appreciable outside demand and pro-
fessional traders preferred to hold aloof
pending developments regarding the af-
fairs of Price Mccormick & Co., whose
failure was announced yesterday. AS
this firms business covered a wide ex-
tent of country both by wire and mail,
the adjustment of its affairs is neces-
sariy complicated. There were not
many transactions under the rule on
the exchange to-day for the firms ac-
count, but there were indica lions of
large transactions in accordance with
private settlements. Thus in the early
dealings there was q sale of a 5000
share block Of Atchison preferred, the
same house being both the buyer and
seller. This transaction was eX-
planned as being merely the transfer of
an account The prices at which other
trades for the failed FIRMS account
We're made indicated that the buying in
of the stocks was intended to be at
about last nights closing prices, The
fact that such settlement could be Sc
cured helped to sustain the market, and
prices ruled for the greater part of the
day at or at above last nights level
in spite of the almost stagnant condi-
ton of the market. Later in the day
the sustaining influence was less eff
fective and prices generally declined be-
low last nights level. At the same time
rumors We're disseminated that other
houses We're in financial difficulty but
nothing developed before the close to
warrant these rumors.

YALEHOSPITAL FOR CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES

A few years ago the university made
plans for the erection of a hospital for
contagious diseases to be located on
Prospect Hill, which, if carried out,
would have been the widening of the
scope of usefulness of the infirmary.
This plan met with SO much opposition
from residents Of that part of the city
that the common council passed an or
dinance which effectually killed the pro-
ject. The ordinance stated in part that
no hospital for contagious diseases
should be located anywhere in the city
The great benefits which would result
to the college community and to the
city of New Haven We're at that time
clearly defined and conclusive. But the
smallpox scare during last winter has
shown more clearly the usefulness and
protection of such "a hospital If the
corporation are still in position to
erect this hospital we think public SEN
timent could now be brought to bear
which would lead to modification of
the ordinance so that a hospital for
contagious diseases could be erected at
some suitable place in the city.-Yale
