late residence on Galloway street.

the South Columbia Methodist Church
Yesterday afternoon..st O'Clock. being
conducted by DIR. Brown Goodwin,
assisted by Rev ]. A. Molloy. Inter
ment in Rose Hill cemetery, with Ma
sonic honors.
Mr.. Tucker was one of those plain,
unpretentiOus men of whom the
preacher spoke last Sunday as being
greater than the world ever knew. He
was a good soldier. In the dark days
when his country was divided against
itself, he followed the flag of his ma
tive South, and those who fought in
the trenches by his 81 de say that never
a truer soldier fired gun. he was
not only a good soldier, but he was a
true man. True to his convictions,
true to his friends. true to his trusts.
As a peace officer he was brave, mer-
ciful and just. In the lonely watches
of the night, guarding the property
and the lives of others, his conscience
kept an ever wakeful eye upon him,
and he never slept or slumbered while
on duty. No unclean dollar ever
touched his fingers no broken faith
or unredeemed pledge haunted mis-
dying pillow He was u man OF whom
his neighbors all spoke kindly. He
was man of whom no one spoke un-
kindly. He was true to himself and
true to his God and it followed as the
night doth follow the day. that he
could not be false to any man.
He was brother of Messrs. John ana
Tom Tucker of this city, and has three
brothers, j. w.. George and Charles
Tucker, and one sister at Hornbeak.
West Tennessee and he leaves survlv-
ing him a wife and four children Mrs.
Isaac Kendall of Obion County, Messrs.
Bruce and Almer, and Miss Lottle
Tucker; for whom, in this sad hour,
an for other physical Affections
weighing so heavily upon them at this
time, their friends. of whom the town
is full, give out their warmest, ten
derest, deepest sympathles.

A LITTLE THING
Changes the Home Feelin 2

Coffee blots out the sunshine from many home by making the mother, or some other member of the household dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one.
 Mrs. c. K. Larzelere. Antigo, Wis, says, q was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age I became victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from one.
 About five years ago friend urged me to try Postum Food Coffee. I made the trial and the result was so satis- factory that we nave used IL ever slnce
 My husband and little daughter were subject to bilious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum instead of coffee, 1 no longer have any head aches and my health is perfect.
 If some of these nervous, tired, irrita- ble women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum Food Coffee, they would find a wonderful change in their life. Ii would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent And think what an effect it would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the children"

AT THE HYPERION

One of Clyde Fitch's latest produce tions, "rhe Way of the World" was interpreted at the Hyperion theater last night by a company headed by Miss Elsie de Wolfe and John Mason, and as fine an audience, both in quality and quantity, as has been seen in that playhouse for some time witnessed the performance. The company is under the efficient management of Nat Roth. Miss de Wolfe makes great deal of the part assigned her, and her work last night was, on the whole, commend able. John Mason as her husband, with a grievance and political ambitions brought forcibly out all that was in the role.
 Mrs. Clara Bloodgood as the grass widow was very satisfactory. She had bright lines and a. sympathetic role, and carried her part with much clever ness. Of the other leading characters Sydney Booth as MT. Nevill, unhappily married and in love with his friends wife, did commendable work.
 The costumes were greatly admired, being rich and costly.

All were thrown into the wa ter, but managed to board a life raft which had been launched few min utes previously The second boat was smashed by striking a heavy object in the water, but all the passengers were rescued by another life raft. He had about siXty-ive first and second class passengers on board and 160 souls all told. We had no knowledge of the ap- proach of the vessel striking us, the weather being so thick she was not seen until we had been struck. It was very dark at the time and the uncertain light interfered to certain extent with the rescue of the passengers. I re- mained on board assisting them. I went down with the ship. After I had been down I don't know how long the social deck broke off and I floated off with it. Sighting a life raft I com menced swimming and succeeded in reaching it after a hard struggle, and was pulled on board by the three occu- pants. We floated about nearly all day

EDWARD WINES INJURED.
Jumped From a Trestle in Danbury !
 Escape a Locomotive.

Jumped From a Trestle in Danbury to Escape a Locomotive After a most exciting and serious ad- venture in which he leaped from high trestle to bed of rocks below to save himself from being ground to death un- der the wheels of a locomotive, exF Fire Commissioner Edward Wines of this city, salesman for an oil company, lies at the Norwalk hospital with only some severe bruises and a broken leg.
 The bridge is short distance below Danbury and is a dangerous passage way for pedestrians, for there is no means of escape if train happens along. Mr. Wines was caught in this predcament and had gotten well onto the bridge when he heard the approach ing train. He had presence of mind enough to make the hazardous leap and by good fortune will live to tell of his experience. He was seen ahead on the trestle by the engineer, who was unable to stop the train until 1t had passed the place from which MT. Wines jumped. The crew hastily alighted and began a search for him and moment later the form of the unfortunate man was seen down among the rocks. He was placed on a stretcher by the railroad men and carried to the baggage car He asked to be taken to Norwalk and his request was complied with. It happened that aboard the train was physician on his way to New York and the doctor temporarily dressed the injuries.
 At the Norwalk station MT. Wines was taken off the train and carried up stairs to the waiting room to await the arrival of the ambulance to take him to the hospital.
 He was reported last night as doing very nicely.

THE MILK PRODUCERS.
Adjourned Meeting to be Held This
 Morning.

Adjourned Meeting to be Held This
 Morning,
 An adjourned meeting of the Milk Producers association will be held in the Palladium building, 139 Orange street, at 10:30 this morning, and it is expected that the attendance will be very large The committee appointed at the meeting of last week to draw up a constitution and bylaws is ready to report and the same will doubtless be adopted at this mornings meeting. At the last meeting, as will be remem- bered. it was voted that the price of milk to the dealers or wholesalers be raised frob 3% cents per quart to cents per quart. Quite large num- Der of the members of the association have already notified their customers that they have changed the price as agreed and an effort will be made at the meeting to-day to have all sign an agreement to make this price universal. It is not likely that all will sign the proposed contract because some are un- der obligations to continue furnishing the milk at the old price.
 The meeting of the Mild Dealers held in the Red Mems hall yesterday morn ing was wholly informal and as the meeting was not legally constituted no business was transacted It Is the irl- tention of the officers of the New Ha- ven Milk Dealers association to call a legal meeting for either Wednesday or Thursday morning of next week and then arrange for the advance of the prices to the consumer in accordance with the advance in price made by the Producers association.
