OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of Mrs. E,,nur Thompson.

Ellen c. Thompson. widow of Elizur Thompson, who was for fifty years keeper of the old lighthouse, died at midnight Wednesday at Grace hospital of intestinal obstruction, from which she had suffered for some time. Mrs. Thompson had been i'll two weeks, and a week ago was taken to Grace hospi- tai for treatment by advice of her phy- sician. Dr. Beard She is survived by a. brother, Clarence M. Peck, and one sister, Mrs. Charles w. Foster. of this city.
 Mrs. Thompson had resided at the old lighthouse for twenty-two years, and during the greater part of that time she had practically been the keeper of the lighthouse. When the light on Southwest ledge was constructed Mrs. Thompson and her husband remained in the old light ashore and were made employees of the weather bureau, the Thompsons hoisting weather signals for the benefit of merchant vessels passing up and down the sound.
 Mrs Thompson was born in Avon, this state, and was sixty years old last September She came to this vicinity about thirty years ago. She was mar ried twice, her first husband being Mr. Pierce, and by him she had one son, who survives her and is believed to be now in Florida. Her second husband was Elizur Thompson, who died four years ago.
 Mrs. Thompson was an estimable Wo- man and she leaves host of friends who will learn with regret of her death. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the rooms of Beecher & Bennett on Elm street. The interment will be in the Westville cemetery.

----------- IT - STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince s
 Whitely,


 New York, May 16-As is usual in market which, influenced by contrary conditions, fiuctuates and vacillates from hour to hour so was to-day's market affected by the news momen- tarily to hand As rule, the news was good. Not only were hnme reports of favorable charac cter, but foreign advices also gave quite stimulus to our secur- tiles at the opening of our market The rapid advances were perhaps little bit overdone still they gave commission houses holding over longs from week ago chance to dispose of them, thus easing their strained :, position, while stronger interests took hold of them and ameliorated the technical situa- tion.
 From observations gathered, there are many stocks which, purchased on the courage of conviction on good mar gin or outright. should return good re- suits to the buyer. Advances may not be as fast as the average operator has been accustomed to lately. but condi- tions as they to-day exist warrant higher values, and In time will so prove. Confidence, which was so severely shaken last week, is plant of slow growth. Mergers of properties are sure ly and quietly going, and recent de- clines can only have served the parties most at interest to perfect them.
 Sentiment on the part of outside trad CTS is rather better. Last weeks de- cline deprived many one of profits on a paper, but no one seems very seri- ously hurt. During the summer months dullness may become the characteristic without harm to values. however.
 The money market is without much change. Foreign exchange is easy for long and a trifle better for short, and actual rates are 4.S4A and 4.S77s.
 Wheat is quiet and prices about one- quarter cent lower than at last nights close. Crop news Is good.
 Cotton is neglected spcculatively and left to the room traders Prices arc not much changed from yesterday. Some rain has fallen near sections where most required, but when the summer heat sets in the plant will show the lack of rain and the outlook for the net crop will become more dubious than at present and prices will feel It's eff feet. New crop months continue to look cheap.
 The stock market in the last hcur was quiet and easy without any pres- sure. Fluctuations were narrow, and the close was steady.

teachers and of the stray visitors who are so helpful when they make their too rare appearings. Moreover to these children, half holiday trip to country or shore is as great an eXpe- rience as for us would be year in Flu rope. This is fact, not rhetoric. The outings of the vacation schools are no mere picncs. The children prepare in advance for them by learning all sorts of nature lessons, first of all by learn ing the names of the sights they are to see. When the great day comes, one only thinks of the crowd of happy children who race about and breathe ozone and pick flowers and accumu- late starfish galore. Later, the real good comes into view. Months after ward a chance phrase reveals how largely the childs' whole horizon has been broadened by the one trip to the real country.
 Here is one slight proof of the fact that the child of the very poor rarely strays beyond the limits of his ward. Two summers of almost daily vlslts at the Zunder playground have given the present writer rather large number of child friends in Oak street circles. Durin gthose two years, on less than half a dozen occasions has she met any of those children as far away from home as Chapel street
 Into this life of limitation, of inflnl- tesimal horizon, the vacation work IS forcing its way, striving to open the door to the broader life beyond. Its work is practically lin1itless, bounded only by the generosity of the public. The public has been kindly to the new enterprise. Now that the enterprise has passedthe stage of experiment and proved it's right to exist side by. side with other organizations for CIVIC pet terment, it asks for even greater sup port Such work is done quite as much by the small subscriptions as by the great. In a city of more than nun dred thousand inhabitants there are many, many people who are still un- known to the committee, but who can send some subscription, however small, to the treasurer, Mrs Leo Herz, 72 Ed wards street. .& Last year, for $1,21S.71. more than a thousand children of the very poor were helped to cleanliness, morality, safety and to the notion of broader life by means of the efforts of the vacation school and playground committee. It rests with the public to decide how Tar this work shall be increased during the coming summer

WORK DON'T HURT.
Poor Selection of Food is the Cause
 of Break- Downs.

Many men, and women too, feel that their work is the cause of. symptoms of nervous break down. but work is not the cause, as anyone can prove to their entire satisfaction, by leaving off the food they have been trying to subsist on, and taking in its place food made for the express purpose of rebuilding the brain and nerve centers in the body and supplying other portions with suf- ficient nourishment and keep right on with the same work and get well and strong. sa
 An illustration is given in the case of F. A. Whitely, Supt. of the Public Schools at Excelsior, Minn. He is also a student and teacher of hygiene. He says: This spring at the beginning of the last month of school I was very much run down, and since my duties are quite confining I naturally ascribed my condition to that.
 T discovered that I made the same mistake that many do. It is not work, but a lack of proper food that causes breakdown Wife went visiting at this time and I concluded to get my own meals for time. The grocer sug- gested that I use a ready cooked food known as Grape-Nuts. I found the food delicious, requiring no cooking. I simply poured milk or cream over it and had 1t in that way.
 "I used Grape Nuts for breakfast, dinner and supper, and liking it so well I simply lived on it for the next three weeks My work continued quite as arduous and confining as before, but I experienced a decided rise in spirits and vitality as well as in general health. Found did not tire as before and en- tirely lost that worn-out feeling which seems to take the heart out of one.
 'T am satisfied the change was due to my change in food, and have been so greatly helped and have been taught so valuable a lesson in food as related to the human body that I wish to ex- press my appreciation in this manner"
 It will pay any brain worker to dis pense with a part of the ordinary diet and use Grape-Nuts once or twice day at least, for the food is made by food experts, for a purpose, and that purpose is to furnish the human sys- tenn with the elements, in a concentrat- ed form, required for rebuilding the brain and nerve centers throughout the body. There is no sort of question of the truth of the statement and value of the food, as can be demonstrated by anyone.

New London, May 16.-Rev. William H. Connor, colored, believed to be the oldest living preacher in the country, died at his hoAne in this city this morn- ing, aged nearly 1o1 years. MT, Con- nor's parents were slaves and he was born in what is now called Baltimore county, Maryland, where his parents were owned by the late John Shepard. The mother escaped with her three children in 1926 and went to Philadel- phfa, where she was cared for by Quak- CTS. Later William went to New York and came thence to this city, where he was put in charge of Moves Billings, the well known whaling merchant. This was in 1S40.
 In the course of ten years MT. Con nor began to preach and had done so ever since, though never ordained. His memory was good until recently. He recalled the events of the war or lsl2 vivldly. While in New York MT. Con- nor worked in a hotel at No 39 Broad way.
