7 NJ. C. A SERVICES.

The Y. NJ. C. A. open air service on the Green, Sunday afternoon, was somewhat interfered with, the threat ening weather keeping down the at tendance. Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phil lips of the Church of the Redeener de- livered the address of the afternoon and the music was furnished by the young people of the United church. Dr. Phil lips took for his general theme The Responsibility of Man" Upon this topic the clergyman dweIt at length. The subject was considered in a plain, commOn-sense manner and the audi ence, regardless of belief or church af- filiatiOns, heard a discourse on many of the important social topics of the day. the address being delivered in manner that carried force and conviction with it. The responsibility of the father and mother to one another and then to the home was spoken of and Dr. Phillips charged the parents that their very acts and words were daily leaving inn pressions upon the minds of their chill drne which would last even longer than a single life time. The father and mother were told many plain truths concerning the training of their chill dren and the clergyman adm0niished all to remember that in their instruc- tiOns to their children the truths and teachings of Christ sholud not be for gotten. Dr. Phillips then discussed the responsibility of children to their par ents. The making of the later days of the life of father and mother happy was forcibly impressed upon the young people present.
 In closing, the speaker impressiVely alluded to the necessity of recognizing the responsibility that man owed to his God and stated that when this latter responsibility is recognized, the other responsibilities of life are sincerely and conscientiously undertaken and per formed.

ANOTHER DIVORCE.

Papers in a divorce suit were filed in the superior court last Saturday. The plaintiff is Charles Skeeles of West Ha- ven, an extensive property owner at Savin Rock, and bridegroom of but four months standing. At the time of this marriage Mir. Skeeles conveyed property valued at $3OO0 to his wife.
 In the complaint MT. Skeeles alleges that his wife has been a wife in name only, that she steadily and consistently refused to give him that loving care and comfort which he anticipated when he conferred his name-and his house. upon her. He further alleges that the defendant continues to regard him more or less as stranger in his own home.
 In consequence of these alleged sins of omission upon the part of his bride, MT Skeeles asks for an annulment of the marriage and the reconveyance of the property. The suit is returnable on the first Tuesday in September.

A GREAT DEED OF CHARITY.

The Mother Seigels Syrup Co. recent ly performed @ great deed of charity, although it was not designed as char ity, being nothing more nor less than an advertising scheme It, however, re" suited in great good just the same. They gave away thousands of bottles of Mother Seigers Curative Syrup to those suffering from stomach Arrangements and diseases arising therefrom.
 It was so effective in curing those who used the remedy that they were loud in their praises of it and in con- sequence a large demand for the Syrup was at once created.
 Mother Seigers Curative Syrup ere- ates an appetite, aids digestion and brings about rapid increase in flesh and strength. Mother Seigers Syrup is now on sale at all drug stores.
 Read home testimonial-it is one of many. #.
 ''I have used Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup in England for years. I have always found it a great benefit for gen. eral use. Have often given doses of it to my friends and they all said it did them good. For constipation there is nothing better as it acts as a gentle laxative without gripping. A friend of mine who used it for Indigestion says nothing ever gave her so much relief, and it cured her. Having used it for years in England, I am glad to find it in this country and cheerfully recom- mend 1t to all." Emily Leckenly, 22 Derby Avenue, New Haven, Ct., April 10 1902.
