BUSY DOCTOR

The physician is such a busy man that he sometimes overlooks a valuable point to which his attention may be called by an intelligent patient who is thinker @ ,.l..s
 About year ago my attention was called to Grape-Nuts by one of my pa- tients," says a physician of Cincin- nati. v-. .'-r..
 .sAt the time my own health was bad and was pretty well run down, but I saw in minute that the theories behind Grape-Nuts were perfect, and if the food was all that was claimed for it it was perfect food, so I com- menced to use Grape Nuts with warm milk twice day and in a short time began to improve in every way and am now much stronger, feel 50 per cent. better. and weigh more than I ever did in my life.
 T know that all of this good is due to Grape Nuts and am firmly con- yiaced that the claims made for the food are true I have recommended and still recommend the food to a great many of my patients with splendid re- suits, and in some cases the improve ment of patients on this fine food has been wonderful. .~es

Grand Opera House.

The Grand opera house was crowded last night when ''The Child Wife" was again presented. The play while it may not contain as many thrills as one would suppose from the title, there are enough of exciting scenes to please the most fastidious, especially that showing the interior of a dive located in the Tenderloin, and the one showing the steamer Priscilla" of the Fall River Line, passing through Hell Gate. The performance will be presented to-day, matinee and night.
 Lovers of melodrama will welcome the announcement that last seasons popu- lar favorite, "A Ragged Hero," will be on view at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week, with Saturday matinee. This drama unfolds' a romantic story of life and love in the rugged hills of New England. The atmosphere is pastoral, although the incidents are melodra- matic and it has a diverting vein ot comedy, the principal fun-maker being nomad, Willie Wildfower, who is driven to trarnping by the perf1dy of young profigate who abducts his beau tiful daughter. Thrilling scenes and climaxes have been introduced in the play. One is the rescue of a child from the upper window of a burning house
 by the quick-witted ragged hero Al
 a most critical moment he leaps into 6 lswing and sways to and fro until tht
 height of the window is reached, Wher

DROWNED IN HABoR.
Unknown Body Found Near Warner
 Miller Dock.

Unknown Body Found Near Warner
 Miller Dock.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett was called about five o'clock yesterday afternoon to view the remains of a man who had been taken from the water at the War ner-Miller dock. One of the dredges en- gagged working in the harbor had been tied to stake near the dock for some hours and when it was decided to remove the dredge one of the ropes holding it to its mooring which had been sunk was drawn up and the body brought to the surface. It was caught with grappling irons and taken ashore, where the medical examiner saw it. The remains were later taken to Flynn's undertaking establishment on Grand avenue to await identification.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett states that the man was about. five feet eight inches in height and about fifty years of age. His hair was cut short and streaked with gray. The eyebrows were quite prominent and there was heavy mustaehe brown in color but also Istreaked with gray. The rest of the face had been clean shaven. The trousers were spattered with some sub stance, presumably paint, and it was taken from this that his occupation had been that of a painter. There were no legibIe papers on the body with the ex- ception of few cards of real estate dealers in the city and they were en- closed in small box. No name which would lead to the identity of the corpse was found
 1 From the condition of the body it is thought that 1t had been in the water for several days and inquiries at the Warner-Miller company evinced the | fact that man who answered the de- scription of the dead man had been seen about the dock on Saturday night. He was then in an intoxicated condition and this seems to dispel the suicide the ory if that had been formed. The man walked along the docks and perhaps being drunk lost his balance, fell over board and by reason of his condition was unable to rescue himself

BARRIERS EXAMINERS MEETING.
What Was Discovered in Inspecting
 Hartford Shops.

Hartford, October 27.-The state board of examiners of barbers met at the house coat room, in the capitol, yes terday to examine applicants for bar |bers' licenses. Nine candidates took the examination. They are: c. A Paturnude, Michael Troviani, Levi Leonard. Arthur Cambria, Joseph M. Citento and James Tiznio, of this city; William Koehlert, of Rockville; Her bert E. Peckharn, of Deep River, and |J. A. Richey, of Windsor Locks.
 The chairman of the board, Emerson M. Parker, of this city, and the secreta- Try. Henry c. Schneider, of New Haven, report that they are just finishing up four of inspection of all the barber shops in the state. They visited the Hartford shops recently, and report that while the majority of them were in good condition, some were in very bad shape. Tn many cases they found a lack of cleanliness. The hot and cold water systems were found to be poor in some Instances, and in one case, where there was no running water in a shop, the board ordered the proprietor to have a faucet put in. He remonstrated, say ing that the place was temporary one. nevertheless the board compelled I him to supply his shop with running water. Where shops were found want ing, the board reported them to the board of health. In New Haven, the
 hoard states, the board of health mem-
 bers are hustlers on the barber shor louestion. Four members have taken ir |hand the shops which have been re
 ported.
 Chairman Parker says that the bar
 hers are mistaken if they think they
 will be allowed to make n1ockery oi lthe regulation regarding sterilizlng tht implements. He says that the board Twill insist on the razor and shears being jkept for five minutes in the sterilizins jar each time after being used.

FUNERAL SERMON INTERRUPTED
A Strange Occurrence at a Funeral in
 Meriden.

A Strange Occurrence at Funeral in
 Meriden.
 Meriden, Oct. 27.-The funeral of Ed win Yale Bull of Yalesville, held yester- day at the home Of his nieces. Misses Carrie E. and Emma J. Bull of 254 East Main street, was marked by an unex- pected and dramatic incident, the prin- cipal figure in which was Franklin T. Ives of Broad street, former member of the state. board of arbitration. <
 As the officiating clergyman, the Rev. Robert A. Ashworth of the First Bap- tist church, began a few remarks just before the close of the service, MT. Ives arose and interrupted the services, objecting to the reference made by the clergyman to the Christian religion and the life beyond the grave.
 The Rev. MT. Ashworth had just com menced reading a chapter from Corin- thians and had started to speak. Hold on,' exclaimed MT. Ives, arising from his seat. q object to any sermon being preached. I didn't come here to listen to sermon. It's all right if you want ] to read that stuff from St. Paul, but object to sermon"
 The mourners and friends were dumb | founded. MT. Bull was an old and re. spected citizen of Meriden, and there were gathered at his funeral many oi the most prominent and best known cit izens of the town.
 The Rev. MT. Ashworth had said, ir beginning his remarks, that it would bt useless for him to eulogize the deceased as he had been better known to those present than to the speaker. Continu. ling, he said: ITO Christian mind the thought of death brings solemn thoughts of the hereafter" Here MT lives interrupted. The Rev. MT. Ash. worth was startled, and when he found 3his voice he said: Perhaps if the ser vice is distasteful to you, MT. Ives, yot had best leave" --. .2.a. Whereupon MT. Ives repeated his ex clamation and added: Your service lnauseates me. Edwin Bull was m, friend, and I know that he would no wish to have these services go on.'
 | After some hesitation, the Rev. MT Ashworth, dreading a scene, said: "Le us pray"
 "All right" said MT. Ives, and tn services were ended with prayer.
