Attorney General Knox has done his part toward avoiding decidedly em- barrassing matter, by rendering an opinion that claims resulting from the destruction of the battleship Maine, in Havana harbor. are national and there fore barred by the treaty of Paris from consideration by the Spanish claims commission. But some law yers have doubts as to whether that opinion will stand legal test, and they are still filing claims of the Maine victims and their heirs with the commission. In order to decide those claims either way it would be neces- sary to fix the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine.

ALCOHOL AND HEREDITY.
Rev. R. T. McNicholPs Son Speaks in
 His Fathers Church.

lh. =
 His Fathers Church.
 Dr. Thomas Alexander McNicholl eldest son of the Rev. R. T. McNicholl, spoke at the morning and evening ser vices at the Trinity M E. church Sun day. MT McNicholl is not a minis ter, but a practicing physician in New York, and has been a local preacher for the past nine years. It was with feelings of the greatest pleasure that the Rev. Mir McNicholl introduced his son at the church yesterday At the morning service, Dr. McNicholl spoke on the subject, Does Alcohol Sustain Life?" and at the evening service his topic was. "Alcohol and Heredity,"
 At the evening service pr. McNicholl gave a description of the diff Trent or ganisms of the human body, and said that alcohol at first causes sleepy condition of the nerve centers, then paralysis, and that continued doses of alcohol ruins them completely. As the nerves connect with the brain alcohol also causes diseases of the morals and frequently insanity. Among the great men whom he mentioned as having been enslaved by the drink habit were: Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, Burns, the poet, and Daniel Webster
 Dr. McNicholl said the child of the thinker starts life with the odds against it. Only about twelve per. cent of the children of drinkers are normal in mind and body, while the percentage in the children of total ab- stainers is eighty-two per cent. He said that it was the curse of drink that led to the downfall of Greece and Rome, and would, if unchecked, cause the destruction of this republic. He added that it had been said that there were no such ravages in Germany and France where beer and wine are used quite genrally. He quoted statistics to show that 1,171 out of 10000 persons treated in the hospitals of GermanT had delirium tremens, that from one third to one-half of the number of the cases of insanity in France were due to drink, and that the number of births in that country last year was 250,O0O short of what is estimated necessary to maintain the republic. The speak CT quoted statistics from several places showing the results of drink as evi- denced by the records in public insti- tutions. and said that in Connecticut that 666 per cent. of the children in the reform school were the offspring of drinking parents
 pr. McNicholl suggested that people who drink to excess should be quar- antined for two or three years, and that the liquor traffic should be de- Britain Herald.

DEPUTY coRoNER's FINDING.
On the Death of George Raymond
 Funeral To-Day.

Deputy Coroner Pond in his finding after an investigation into the circum- stances surrounding the death of George Raymond, the barber, who was found apparently asleep on Willow street Saturday morning, and who was later taken to the hospital where he died Sunday, finds that while in sa- loon Raymond was drinking whiskey. That his friend, man named Bergin, was paying for the drinks, and that Raymond was without money. The rest of the story shows that Bergin left some of his money on the bar of the saloon and that during his ab- sence in another room the money was found by Raymond. That with this cash Raymond ordered another round of drinks while his companion ordered him to replace the money on the bar. At that Raymond bolted and ran.
 He was followed into Willow street by Bergin, Lewis Corcoran and James Doolan, the latter of whom came up first with Raymond. The barber was then very drunk and was breathing hard while saliva was pouring from his mouth He gave up the money to Bergin and the others leaving him on doorstep returned to the saloon, Later wondering at his failure to re- turn to the saloon they went for him. They found him grooming in the yard at the rear of 213- Willow street.
 He was aroused by Corcoran and Doolan and was able to walk back to the saloon. He moaned for fifteen minutes or more in the saloon and then ran into Willow street again, this time making for Foster street His companions followed him, and at last Policeman Maurice Connolly took charge of the man and sent him to the Grand avenue station. His death later at the hospital was caused by rupture of the bladder, which may have been itself caused in three or more ways. From the fact that his hands and knees were bruised, 1t is assumed that he fell either while running with the money or when Doolan came up to him. or while he was in the yard at 213 Willow street. This yard is uneven and blocked with several obstacles. The bladder while distended was ruptured by the heavy jar of the man falling on his hands and knees.
 The funeral will be held this morning and the deceased will be buried by General A. H. Terry command, U. V. U., of which he was an honorary mem Der. The funeral will be held from Flynns undertaking rooms on Grand avenue.

DIR. JOHN l.. DODGE.
Eminent Physician of Wide Experience
 Dead at GrotOn

Eminent Physician of Wide Experience
 Dead at Groton.
 Dr. John Lanphere Dodge, Groton's oldest resident physician, passed away Sunday morning at 3:15 o'clock from a gradual breaking down of his health. Dr. Dodge began practicing medicine in Groton about 55 years ago, immediately after his graduation from New York University Medical college, and though he went to other places later, returned to Groton and resumed his practice, continuing until about six years ago, when he retired from active practice.
 Dr. Dodge was the son of Nehemiah Dodge, a dentist of New London, and grandson of Rev. Nehemiah Dodge of New London. He was born October 20, 1925, in New York city, and his early life was spent in the old Dodge house at the head of Main street, in this city He finished college at the age of 19 and passed the medical examination with credit During the time he was located at Groton he was many times called in consultation with physicians of Norwich, Willmantic and other places as we'll as the nearby physicians. Since the death of his wife 13 months ago, he has been gradually sinking in health, but not until comparatively re- cently was he confined to his bed, and during the middle of last week he felt very much brighter and plans were made for his taking a trip away from Groton. The last of the week, however, he sank rapidly, and his sons were sent for, all arriving in time to see him be- fore death.
 The news that he had passed quietly away on Sunday morning came as sad surprise to his townspeople, among whom he numbered many friends, made during his long service with them, and sorrow was generally ex- pressed by those who learned of his death
 He leaves four sons John L., Roger N, Charles H. and Ira A. Dodge. His wife, Cornelia M. Dodge, died July 4, 1900.
 pr. Dodge's record aside from his Groton practice was interesting. He was graduated from New York Univer- sity Medical college in 1S45, was sur SeOn or the SdblHd Calllolliiel 4iii'iiis' cnr7rarv in 1S49 assistant surgeon Of the Fifty-first New York State volun- teers in 1861, surgeon of the Fifty first New York State volunteers in 1862, surgeon of the Sixteenth New York Heavy artillery in 1863, '64 and '65, and surgeon for the Oroya Railroad company over the Andes mountains in South America in 1872.
 The funeral was held Tuesday after noon from his late residence, Broad street, Groton.

THE SECOND GAME.

The second game was just as easy for the Bridgeports It was well played on the part of both teams, Ramon, Bone, Delaney, Cusick and Rogers car rying off the honors. Began batted hard, making three clean hits, one of which was a three e-bagger. Silver Braun pitched his initial game as state leaguer and retired the first two men in neat fashion. Dougherty struck out and Yale went out on an easy in- field hit. Then came trouble for the fair-haired twirler. O'Rourke singled, Began made three-bagger, Morgan two-bagger and Rogers a single. The fusilade of hits fairly took Braun off his feet and before it was over three runs had crossed the plate. He stead jed down and except in one inning, the seventh, pitched good ball. In that inning a two- bagger by Cusick, Cana vans error and Dougherty's single to left were responsible for two runs, mak- ing the total of five. Not player of the home team felt third base during the nine innings.
 This afternoon the locals play in Wa terbury and tomorrow Derby is here for two games. Third place is now al- most assured for the Bridgeports as result of the games yesterday, while Bristol increased their lead over Nor wich by winning great game.
 The score of the second game was as follows:

FAMOUS AROUND THE CAMP-FIR Grape-Nuts.
FOR CAMPING.
Ready Cooked, Delicious and N ourishing.

People going into camp should not forget to take along a goodly supply of Grape Nuts, the ready-cooked food' This can be eaten dry and does not re- quire any preparation by the cook, or the food can be made into variety or delightful dishes, such as buildings, etc.
 One of the favorite methods by old timers is to drop three or four heapins teaspoonsfuls of Grape-Nuts into cup of coffee. The Grape-Nuts add pecu- liar and delicious flavor to the coffee and give one a more piquant article of food than even the famous doughnuts and coffee of old New England.
 People who cannot digest coffee should not forget that Postum Food Coffee, if properly made, furnishes very delicious beverage, either hot or cold, closely approaching the flavor of the mild and delicious grades of Java.

Bridgeport came to Savin Rock yes terday afternoon and walked away With two games, the scores being to and to O.. They had no trouble in taking both and New Haven did not have a chance. The batting of the home team was very weak and for the life of them they couldn't poke out safe one when it was needed. Dougherty pitched the first game for the visitors and had the Blues completely at his mercy. TWO of the four hits made off him came in the fourth inning, when the only run was scored. Fitzmaurice and Ramon knocked out clean three-baggers, but the latter was left. Steve Ashe pitched fairly well in the first game. but they bumped him considerably in the sixth inning. Five singles netted four runs and the game. Cusick, Canavan and Bone played the best ball. The two games were remarkable in that during the eighteen innings there was not double play, stolen base or base on balls. The score of the first game fol- lows

FOR THE BICENTENNIAL.
Elaborate Plans of the Management O
 Vale Law Journal

 Yale Law Journal Another chapter in the 200 years of Yale is being prepared for the bi- centennial in October by the Yale Law Journal under the direction of com mittee from the senior board of editors composed of Charles Tressler Lark, Os- borne A. Day and Frank w. Fully. This committee Is collecting all the infor- nation 1t can obtain from alumni rec ords, biographies, state reporters, cata- logues, and from alumni by correspond ence, with view to publishing com- plete record of the contribution of Yale men to the development of American law.
 The following circular, which has been mailed to the alumni of classes up to 1895, shows the scope of these plans:
 Dear Sir-To be in harmony with the spirit of the coming bicentennial Of Yale university, the Yale Law Journal proposes to issue a special bicentennial number which shall show in measure the great part which the graduates of Yale have taken in the development of American law.
 This bicentennial issue will be pre- faced by an article from the pen of Hon. Simeon F. Baldwin, sketching a few of the more prominent legal con- tributions of Yale men, including those made before the establishment of the law school, and then will follow chronological bibliography of the legal works of the alumni of the Yale Law school, including all whether graduates or not, whose names appear in the last issue of the official Yale Law School Alumni Record (No. 5. 1S24-1S99).
 we desire to make the bibliography as complete as possible, as no such rec ord exists. To this end, will you kind ly send us at your earliest convenience complete list of your legal works, magazine articles or printed addresses (not including any newspaper articles). We enclose printed blank for this pur- pose In case you have served as judge of any court of last resort, kindly men, tion the volumes of reports in which your opinions appear
 Any suggestions or help relating to the works of deceased law school grad uates, whether in your class or not, will be appreciated.as the task of secur- ing information as to their labors is attended with great deal of difficulty, and there is likelihood that some of these may be passed over without such help.
 This bibliography will be one of the important contributions to the 200th anniversary of Yale and great deal of care is being bestowed upon it. In consequence it is urged that your reply be sent on or before August 25 to Os- borne A. Day, New Haven, Conn.
 every truly yours,
 CHARLES T. LARK, Chairman"
