AT THE COLISEUM TOMORROW .-t4 NIGHT.

Cutie few crack-a-jack professional cyclists will make their first appear ance in this city in years next Tuesday night, at the big Grand Circuit meet, which will be held at the New Haven Coliseum.
 Floyd Mcfarland, the California giant; Orlando Stevens of Ottumwa, James B. Bowler of Chicago, J. Eaton of Elizabeth, and J. S. Holway of Den yer will, be greeted with interest. Neither Major Taylor nor w. S. Fenn, the Boy Wonder" have ridden here this year either although rain prevent ed them from doing so on two different occasions last month. There is great interest in the appearance of Taylor and the outcome of his meeting with Kramer. The question, Who'll win?" which is being asked on all the show cards advertising the race, isp frequently discussed. It is said that George Col lett, the local professional, is likely to sacrifice his chance of winning if Taylor and Fenn both qualify for the final heat. The plan it is said will be for the local crack to pull Kramer, while Fenn will do the donkey" work for the colored champion. No matter what the arrangement, the race will eb clinker. The rest of the programme is also very promising and excellent sport will no doubt rule throughout the evening. There is such, a lively demand for tick cts at S! Goodman & Co.'S, S20 Chapel street, that the chances are favorable for all the choice sections being sold be- fore the doors are opened.

COMFORT S. PROUT OF EAST HA-
 VEN


 Comfort S. Prout, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of East, Haven, died at his late residence in that village yesterday after an ill- ness of nine days, aged eighty-four years. He was taken i'll week before last with slight attack of dysentery and weakness of the heart and other complications incident to old age set in and he began to fail. He was attended by Dr. Holbrook, who cautioned his pa- tient against making any unnecessary effort and to lie as quietly as possible MT. Prout day or two before his death thought that he felt able to sit on the side of the bed and he did so. But the effort was too much for him and he was greatly weakened and he failed rapidly until his death. He leaves wife and three sons, Frederick, Henry and James Prout. The two first are residents of Foxon and the last named of Beacons' Head. The funeral will be held at his late residence to- morrow afternoon at half-past two o'clock. Rev. D. J. Clark, the pastor of the East Haven Congregational church, will be the officiating clergyman. The remains will be inferred in East Haven cemetery.
 MT. Prout was one of the oldest resi- dents of East Haven. He was man of more than ordinary intelligence and was a prominent member of the East Haven Congregational church and was held in high regard by the members The house in which he lived was one of the oldest in that section, it having been erected in the year 1790, and it was regarded as a venerable landmark in the town. There are many who will mourn his departure.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

There Is none OF us so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting a bcne-
ft or bringing little comfort into
their lives we like to have appreciation
shown. This generally affords more
pleasure than the performance of the
act itself, and In this connection the
following letter from a Paris Texas,
lady is of more than usual interest:
Dear Friends: address you as such,
for you have been such to me. I suf-
fered for three years off and on with
piles. I was treated at the hospital,
and the new and elegant hospital, of
Memphis: they only gave me tempor-
ary relief. l came west. thinking the
change OF air and water would benefit
me: five months ago the bleeding piles
came back on me, and bled so much
that I thought would die. have had
four of the finest doctors in this Sec
tion of Texas: all they did was to final
~ nearly let me go to my grave; all
they wanted was big sum of money
from me and to operate on me. / said
no, no surgeons knife would enter me;
IL 1t was my time to die God knew 1t,
and when I died I would die all to-
gether I began hearing about your
medicine. I had no faith in you. but I
sent and got box of your Pyramid
Pile Cure: in two days the blood flow
had slackened to one-half the amount.
and in one week I felt so much better
I walked four blocks and did little
housework. I was not bleeding then;
in three weeks I was we'll. God bless
you for putting such a wonderful
medicine within the reach of suffering
men and women. 7 shall never cease
to recommend your medicine or be
without 1t: also / used your Pyramid
Pills. Sallie A. Hearndon." Testi-
mony like this should be more convinc-
ing than all claims and assertions and
should leave no doubt in the mind of the
reader as to the merit of the remedy
Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by drug
gists for fifty cents a package, or will
be mailed by the makers to any address
upon receipt of price. Write Pyramid
Drug Co.. Marshall. Mich. for their
book on cause and cure of piles.

hotly contested from beginning to end
with brilliant fielding on both sides and
was thoroughly enjoyable one for the
big crowd of spectators. The spacious
grand stard and bleacher seats of Amer
lean league park We're crowded and the
overflow on the ground back of the field
ers made ground rule for two-base hits
necessary. The game was for $500 a side
