DIED FROM 7ERRTBLE BURNS.
Child Frightfuiiy Burned nt Rose
 Street Flre-Other Fires.

| Frederick Grenier, the four-year- old
 boy who was severely burned yesterday afternoon in the fire at No B Rose
 street, died at the New Haven hospital
 at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The | fire was in the house at No. 33 Rose street, a house occupied by Frederick
 Grenier and family Mrs. Grerier had gone out after dinner to take her three l older children to school, and while she was gone she left the youngest child, four year-old Freddy, alone in the house. The Greniers live on the second floor of the house, and when Mrs. Gre nier returned from taking her children to school and as she opened the door of her apartments she found the rooms filled with smoke and heard the little boy screaming. She ran into one of the rooms from which the cries came, and there found the child with his clothing enveoped in flame.
 By this time neighbors had seen the smoke pouring from the house, and an alarm was rung from box No 13, at No 216 Congress avenue. Among those who hurried to the scene of the fire after the ringing of the alarm were Dr. Dounce, assistant house surgeon at the New Haven hospital, and MT. Smith, apoth- ecary at the hospital. When they ar rived at the fire and found that the child had been badly burned they took the suffering little fellow and, taking Fire Marshal Gladwin's team, they drove rapidly to the hospital, taking the child with them.
 The firemen extinguished the flames soon after they arrived. The damage done to the building amounts to about $500. On the floor were found some burned matches, and it is thought that the child found some matches and was playing with them, when they ignited and set fire to his clothing.
 About o'clock in the afternoon an- other alarm was rung from box No. 13, this time for fire at No. 107 Lafayette street, house owned by Samuel Levine and occupied by Jacob B. Mandelstein. The blaze was on the second floor and

Pleasant Monthly Entertainment Given
 There Last Evening.
 There was a very pleasant entertain ment in the Young Women's Christian association building last evening given for the association members and it was largely attended. The entertainment was the regular monthly one at the Y. w. c. A. and was one of the most suc- cessful of the season. The programme was a good one and each number was encored heartily. One of the most pleasing numbers on the programme was the singing of the Beautiful Bells" by Master Sturgis, son of MT. and Mrs. William c. Sturgis, of Pros pect street. The glee club from Mss Whedon's school was there and rendered several very fine selections during the evening. Mrs. Blackman sang delight fully, accompanied by Professor Black man, and she was followed by a read ing by Mrs. Professor Leonard. The subject of the reading was Uncle Re mus'' and it was greatly enjoyed. The rest of the entertainment was composed of recitations by Miss Hadley and vocal selections by Mrs. Kraft.
 The entertainment was under the d. rection of Mrs. William c. Sturgis.

Enjoyable Affair in the Tontine Hotel
 Last Evening.
 The Gold legion met last evening in the Tontine hotel and enjoyed a smok- CT at which about 100 members of the organization attended. The evening was a very pleasant one. and the pro- gramme rendered included songs, reci- tations, etc, by the more gifted mem bers of the famous marching club. Af- ter the musical and literary programme a business meeting was held and a proposition to form the club into per- manent organization was advanced by F. F. Lewis. Several members were heard on the question, and it was final ly voted to leave the matter In the hands of a committee that will meet sometime within the next week.
 The following took part in the enter tainment: r. S. Hamilton, jr, songs; F. H. Burnham, who told several very good stories; N. c. Turcott, trumpet so- los: Edward Phelan, cornet solos, Gus Wendall, homes, and MT. Spiegle, vocal solos. Major Ludington made a few appropriate remarks that were well re- ceived, and IF. I. Atwater acted as mas ter of ceremonies during the evening
 The committee having charge of the affair was composed of c. M Dobbs, chairman; H. c. Trowbridge, and I. c. Davis.

tents, the people that read it will pay I for it; it will not be an eleamosynary | institution conducted chiefly by the ad- vertising business of the country, for l the benefit of the reading classes. Its wealth and prosperity will be welcomed as a gain and security for the whole community. It will indulge in no sham about being independent of business considerations It will be best liked when its owners conduct 1t; at least when its owners, engaged elsewhere
 make their newspaper investment as a
 means of furthering private ends. It will not be intensely individualized- will not be a one-man paper. It will support parties as means to patriotic end, and religion as leading to the best life; but it will not be a party organ,
 or an organ of the churches. It will
 deal with politics according to it's con-
 victions, and tell the truth according to
 it's capacity: but not being edited by
 angels, it will make mistakes some times and perhaps have even the grace sometimes to acknowledge them.
 The lecturer next spoke to the Yale men in some detail of the studies they
 would find most useful for newspaper
 work, but added that, like most of his colleagues on the press, he had little faith In Schools of Journalism" or
 Courses for Journalism" or, if the truth must be told, in lectures on Jour- nalism either. The only place to learn the newspaper business is in a news paper office, and you have to be caught tolerably young to learn it at all He closed with an earnest tribute to the career of the capable and conscientious editor as one of the noblest and most influential in the world.

Grand Opera House.

The attraction at the Grand opera house on Friday and Saturday, matinee and evening, will be David Higgins beautiful southern play, At Piney Ridge" The story deals with the un- happy complications resulting from a false accusation that negro blood courses through the veins of Jack Rose. young mountaineer who is in love with and beloved by Azalie Deering. a beautiful Tennessee girl. This story have been instigated by Mark Briarson General Deering's cashier, who also as- pires to Azalies affections, and in his base designs he is aided by Dagmar, an octOroon, who has vowed vengeance on the Deerings for an bellum love disappointment The charge is a hid eous one in the eyes of true southern CT, and effectually blocks the happi- ness of the two lovers until Cindv Lane, a child of the mountains. who has been betrayed by young Briarson. convinced at last of his villainy, tells the truth and the bank cashier finds the tables turned on him through proof that the taint of "black blood" really exists in him inatead of Rose This fact does not come out until we'll along in the last act, and the dramatic inter- est is never allowed to lag for a mo- ment. The producing company is a powerful one, and the scenery elabo- rate and true to the region depicted in the play.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of Famous Physician. First and foremost, REST.

q
 First and foremost, REST
 Take care of yourself. Your already weakened nerves want rest, and must have it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatalities result from neglect of this precaution than from any other cause
 Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs are in no condition to take care of large quantities of food.
 Drink plenty of pure. cold water. It allays the fever, stimulates the Kidneys to action and opens up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
 Take three doses of Dr. Miles Nervine per day, and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time. To further control the fever, and to overcome the peculiar aches and pains of grip, use Dr. Miles Pain Pills. They act quickly and effectually, and no bad effects re- suit from their use. These remedies have been thoroughly tested more than million times, and their efficiency is thoroughly established. They never fail to give relief.
 Dr. Miles Remedies can be found at positive guarantee that first bottle or package benefits, or money refunded

A FrNE EXHIBIT.
Numbers of Automobiles and Bicycles
 Shown in Music Hall.

|
 | Shown in Music Hall.
 The annual bicycle and automobile exhibition under the auspices of the r. M. c. A. opened last evening in Music hall. and the attendance was very large. The exhibition of motor vehicles is the finest that has ever been held Ill New Haven, and speaks well for the industry and the efforts of New HaVen- CTS to establish in the city plants and agencies making and selling as fine horseless carriage as can be found Ill the country to-day. The largest eXh1p- it is by the Kidder Motor Vehicle com .pany of Audubon street, and includes a spacious delivery wagon, two run abouts of different pattern and the eX- posed machinery and mechanism or the Kidder vehicles, showing as 1t does' the wonderful improvements of the direct gear system that has been established in the vehicles manufactured py the company. The extreme simplicity ana practicablity of the vehicles is explalh- ed by MT. Bishop, MT. Barnes and MT. Kidder of the company, and last hlghe they interested a large number ot peo- pie.
 The exhibition of the "Locomobile, of which H. c. Holcomb is the New Ha- ven agent, was also very interesting one, and attracted large numper ol visitors. Three of MT. Holcombs Ve- hicles are on the floor and are or the latest style.
 The exhibition of bicycles is very fine one and includes nearly all the well known dealers in town. The blcy- cle booths are built all around the m terior of the hall and offset py the horseless carriages in the center, make a handsome picture.
 Each evening of the exhibition there will be an entertainment, and the one last night was very interesting. There were two wrestling bouts last evening that proved most interesting, the prin- cipal one being by William F. Alcorn, the Yale instructor of wrestling, and Beuford Wilson, one of his scholars, and the lightweight champion of the university. The match was an even one. and after two flve-minute periods neither of the men was credited With a fall Wilson is much lighter than his instructor, and he was frequently ap- plauded for his clever work on the mat The referee was MT. Richardson, 1901, and the timekeeper, MT. Strong.
 There was an interesting match be- tween Harry Welch and William Leake two Y. M c. A. men, and a fall was credited to each man. Owing to an ac- cident the trick bicycle riding by Bates and Shufelt was not concluded.
