Paper on His Life Read Last Night by
 Rev. Dr. Munger at the Historical So-
 ciety.
 The memory of one of Connecticuts most distinguished divines was honor cd last night in the New Haven Colony Historical society by a largely attended meeting at which Rev. Dr. Munger read a paper on the life and work of Horace Bushnell. The paper was one of great interest and was received with enthu- siasm. At the conclusion of the paper Dr. Fisher and Judge Baldwin spoke briefly on Dr. Bushnell, telling few interesting stories concerning him.
 The paper that Dr. Munger read was the same that he read at the memorial service at the Park church in Hartford Sunday morning. In the congregation at that time were Colonel and Mrs. F. w. Cheney. Appleton R. Hillyer and Mrs Hillyer, and MT. and Mrs. Howell Cheney. Mrs. F. W. Cheney and Mrs. Hillyers are daughters of pr. Bushnell, and Howell Cheney is his grandson. Mrs Bushnell, widow of Horace Bush- nell, still vigorous in intellect, had hoped to attend the service, but finally decided not to-. Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Mun- ger were entertained at dinner by Mrs. Bushnell after the service.

 The chancellor was loudly cheered by the occupants of the ministerial benches as he concluded
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Uib- crab, was the next speaker, He cor roborated the view expressed by the chancellor of the exchequer that the duty on wheat would meet with strong objection This taxation, of the peo- ple's food, he said, would bring home to the people the lesson of the war. Wheat was a thing of the first neces sity and he was opposed to return to the old fallacies of protection It was, Sir William considered, by far the most objectionable proposal made to the country in many years This passion for expansion of territory and the annexation of independent coun- tries involved ruinous expenditure, which, he believed would have to be defrayed exclusively by the British tax payer, as the security of the Transvaal would not in any way meet the ex- penditure. The gigantic fortunes made in the Rand had not been produced by the mines, but, by projectors selling worthless mines to the ignorant and credulous.
 The house divided on the corn and flour duties resolution, which was adopt ed by a vote of 254 to 135.

C., con- cluded that coffee was the cause of the doctors sleepless nights. She says, He would retire and lie for hours rin- able to sleep wink, I thought per haps he was nervous from the coffee which he drank at his meals and sug- gested that he try Postum To my surprise he objected most decidedly. I said nothing but the next morning made Postum Coffee instead of the regular coffee and gave that to the doctor. made it according to directions and it had a beautiful coffee color and flavor, He drank his cup and remarked that the coffee was unusually good that morning and asked for more,
 From that time l served him FOstUm at every meal, and in the course of a week or two he showed such remark able signs of improvement in haa tn and strength that I told him he had been drinking Postum from the time he had begun to get better
 You never saw such surprised man. He said, Well, if the good coffee 1 have had is Postum, and leaving off regular coffee has made such change in my health, never want any other kind in my house. Since then he regularly prescribes Postum to many of his pat tents and with good results" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

 beautiful singing. MT. Devoy, neph- CIV of the great J. K. Emmett, has for tunately inherited many of the admira- ble traits and capabilities which won
 the hearts of the American public. He appeared last night in "Friend Karl, v from der Vaterland, and simple Ger man looking for employment had abun- dant opportunity for displaying his su- perb voice. He is the whole souled
 simple German who wins the attention and the respect of all, and who by his singing resolves acquaintances into everlasting friendships, The piece is written so that MT.

 Proceeding to deal with the receipts of last year in detail Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said the sugar tax was most successful. It brought in 96,5O0,- 000 against his estimate of e5, 100 000. The export duty on coal produced G1,- 314,000, which was also above the esti- mate; while the prophets of evil were so far from being justified that the ex- ports were higher than in the case of any year, except the record year of 1899 It would be difficult to convince him that the tax should be repealed.
 Passing to the wine duties which it had been suggested to him should be in creased, the chancellor said the receipts from wine had diminished by G3S 00O He thought it absolutely impossible to obtain more revenue from that source. The tobacco receipts had fallen off He expected better yield, however, this year, as he would not again have to cope with a forestallment of duty.
 The death duties had produced e1S,- 39S000 There had been a material de- crease in the consumption of beer He had seen it set forth that the brewers were covering the higher duty by de- creasing the gravity of their beer Pos sibly their customers had not fully ap- preciated the diluted article

 entail needless expense Councilman
 Logan said that the city clerk had
 stated that the report could easily be
 printed and distributed by April 19

 extra expense. He, too, thought that
 there was no need of holding an ad-
 iourned meeting and that the matter
 could be attended to at the regular May meeting.
 The motion for printing and distribu-
 ton by April 19 was then passed, only
 Councilman Mason voting against that action.
 Councilman Hosley then moved that when the board adjourn it be to meet April 24. Councilman Frederick amend ed to provide that when the board ad- journ 1t be to the next regular meet ing, the May meeting, The amendment prevailed.

He said that the company was charging ten cent fare within the city limits, referring to the ten cent fare to Morris Cove, and objected to granting any more privileges to the company until "the company does what should be done for the public" He said that the change of tracks and curves at the corner of State and Chapel street was wanted. not as public improve ] ment. but for the benefit of the com- pany solely. Councilman Logan. Coun- l cilmanic chairman of the committee on railroads and bridges said that the committee had recommended that the | petition be granted because the work 1 would be a public benefit. Councilman l Wohlmaker said that he, personally, | was delayed at the corner under exist ing conditions there several minutes every morning, and he thought that the change which the company proposed to make there was public necessity. | Councilman Elliott also spoke for the petition, and the committees recom- mendation was then adopted.
 The councimen receded from their former action in voting to indefinitely postpone consideration of the order for the sale of West Rock park land to L. Wheeler Beecher There has been non- concurrent action on this matter, the aldermen having passed the order When the matter was taken up last night Councilman Mason said that since nothing could be done in regard to the sale of the land until after the injunc- ton proceedings now pending shall have been decided the counclmen might as well recede from the previous action in indefinitely postponing and vote to that effect was passed.
