|1S. The question has been repeatedly asked, what is the moral or the play! To answer that question, It IS only necessary to revert to MT. Gaines own explanation; Glory Quayle and John Storm, the two principal characters of the drama, represent types which have been brought into existence by the lat ter half of the nineteenth century, the educated girl who has to fight the bat tie of life in professions which are us- ually controlled by men, and the sin cere young clergyman who makes an effort to realize, in a liberal sense, the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount. But the social and religious problems which surround the steps of these char acters in the novel are not dwelt upon in the play, which is simply roman- tic story of love. Although MT. Gaines intention, in the construction Of this play, was to teach moral lesson, he has not forced it on the attention Of the audience. It is presented btu incident ally to one of the most fascinating dra- matic love stories that have ever been related on the stage. Seats now on sale. Prices s15O, $1, 75 and 50 cents.

 TO PASS THE CROWD.
All Cannot Be Brilliant, No Matter
 How Healthy.

If probabIy comes to every thought full person at times that there are plenty of common, mediocre people, and. that if one determines to, he or she can press to the front. pass the crowd, and win position, fame and gold It is largely matter of deter mination and health. Many deter mined character with brilliant possi- bilities is held back by i'll health. Some find that bright keen thoughts refuse to come to their brains, and wonder why.
 The kind of brain work that makes successful Merchants, Lawyers, Doc tors, Authors, etc., etc., makes heavy draughts on the filling of the minute nerve cells of the body, said filling be- ing composed of a greyish sort of ma terial which must be replaced day by day. or the brain and other parts of the body will not act properly.
 Coffee is a hidden but powerful en- emy to ones progress in life. Its sub tie. narcotic poison, weakens heart, in- terferes with digestion, and has def1- mite and destructive effect on the ner- vous system. People who are content to load themselves with impediments +o nrogress, who refuse to supply body with food and drink of the kind need cd to make up for the daily disinte- eration of the nerve and tissue, must stand aside in the race for pre-emi- nence.
 The ones who are properly fed will surely win the laurels.
 poetum Food Coffee furnishes the eluten and phosphate of grain needed hv Nature to nourish brain and nerves with food It does not narcotize and tear down. It is frequently misjudged on first trial, because of improper pre- narration. but it will be found to be most delicious beverage if, after boil ing commences, it be allowed to con- tinue boiling for 15 minutes. This is necessary to extract the food value and flavor.
 There are those who are entirely careless as to what goes into the stom- sch. but the one who would make all his movements tend towards health and possible greatness, cannot afford to risk adulterated food or drink or even coffee.

TWO HISTORIC FLAGS.

Two Have Done Duty Upon the ASSas-s
 sinaton of Three Presidents.
 Among the many flags displayed m New Haven as emblems of mourning for the late president perhaps the most historic is the. one displayed at the. house of Dr. Charles E. Park on CifNas street. This flag was made in 1880 by Mrs. Wiswald, who was the mother pf Mrs. Jepson, the wife of the we'll known professor of music in New Ha-ss ven, for Allen & Co., which company was composed of Msssrs. 0. A. Alien and H. B. Allen. It was made from an order of Dr. Parks father, Dr. EdwaFd A.. Park. and he kept it until he di9d: It hung in front of the elder pr. Parksa house during the war and when Preatx dents Lincoln and. Garfield were asaRS sinated. After Dr. Park died his S6I1 took possession of 1t and 1t hung from his flag staff all during the Spahfeh- American war Dr. Parkput the old fialga away then but when President Maxim ley died he resurrected 1t and now itl floats in the breeze, tattered and torn but answering the noble purpose 4juat as we'll as one fresh from the shop. TheH flag is about 5x7 feet.
 Another historic flag is the one. dis- played in front of the house of Philip Pond at 57 Grove street. s
 The flag is now thrown to the windg' in commemoratiop of a presidents as-E sassination, for the third time. The flag is about four by six feet and waSl purchased by MT. Pond in the civil war times. It was displayed at the time ok President Lincoln's assassinat ton, MrS Pond at that time living on St John street. When President Garfield waba assassinated MT. Pond resided onH Grove street where he now lives. and again the historic flag was unfurled For the third time this banner wa&S swung to the breezes on Saturday morning upon the receipt of the new6s of the death of the president, and will remain displayed during the period ofz national mourning. 9lg

rrrs. Frances M. Ixcndrich.

Mrs Frances M. Kendrick died at her home in Wallingford September TO- She was born November ', 1924, in Vest n1oreland county, Virginia, and was the daughter of Meredith and Mary E. Ed monds, both of whom were descendeu from ancestors who served their coun- trv in the War of the Revolution. Her early life was spent in her native state, whose good name always was dear Co her She was married March l9, lSA4, to Captain John Kendrick. of East Har- wich, Mass. and together they took number of ocean trips, visiting, among other places, London, Liverpool, Genoa, Napoleon's tomb at St. Helena and Bombay a short time before the Seopy mutinv there in 1857. Since 1858 the home had been in Wallingford. Her life was greatly saddened by the death in 1880 of her older daughter and in 1887 of her husband.
 In manner she was quiet and unob- trusive, in intellectual perception clear and practical, in conversation interest," ing and instructive, and the hopeful spirit of the inner life kept her young in heart and companionable to the last hours of the earthly life. The tortures of pain she endured with Christian for titude. In the home and for the home were thoughts, plans and constant ser vice. Her life was given to her family and "Her children arise up and call her blessed" A character rare and lovely has passed from the shadows of this world into the immortal life in the Fathers house.
