BODY IS RECOVERED.

Corpse of Young Gibbons Taken from
 Lake Whitney.
 The body of Earl P. Gibbons, the fif- -year-old old boy who was drowned in Lake Whitney last Thursday night, was recovered Saturday afternoon about 3:15 by one of the men in the boats which had been dragging the lake. The body was recovered but a few feet from where the boy went down --250 feet from the shore and opposite the boathouse.
 The father of the lad, Dr. Robert E.. Gibbons, of 181 Meadow street, was present when the body was brought to the surface. He summoned the under taking firm of W. H. Stahl & Son, and the corpse was removed to their rooms on Meadow street.
 The watch in the young mans pocket had stopped at 7:30. He left home at $50 and hired the boat from Blakeslee at 7:15. The boy who was with young Gibbons was rescued at TAO.
 The Gibbons lad went down once, then rose to the surface and then went down again to be seen no more.
 The young man would have been fif- teen years Olu llext 06pleHlDeT E1e was six feet tall and weighed 140 pounds. He was pupil at the Welch school and was regarded as the best athlete in the school. He played on both the football and baseball teams of that school.
 The funeral of the unfortunate lad will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of his parents, 1S1 Meadow street. Rev. Dr. W. L. Phillips, of the Church of the Redeemer, will officiate. The interrnent will be in Evergreen cemetery.
 The young man leaves, besides his father and mother, one sister, who is seventeen years old. The family have the deep sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

AT THE HIRsH STORES.

Three Days Wholesale Disposal of Made to- Order Trousers.
 The inauguration of another whole
 sale disposal of trousers made to order
 at the Hirsh Stores, which will open
 this morning. will be eagerly awaited
 by large number of New Haveners, who have already patronized this popu-
 lar concern and benefited by their gen.
 erous and unprecedented offerings. Commencing this morning at o'clock and continuing for three days they will
 make and finish to order both outing
 and dress trousers at the remarkably
 low price of $3.5O per pair. Think of it trousers made to your measure and to suit the tastes of the most fastidious for such price as S3.50. This whole sale tailoring will continue for only three days, but there are bargains for all during that time and it will be well to go early and thus have the advan- tage of choice of the entire stock. All of the patterns are of the very best ma- terial and fully in keeping with the
 goods at the previous sales of the fla
 nous Hirsh Stores.

the state are foreign missionary sta- | tions.
 In Connecticut the Congregational churches have representatives of thir- | ty-three different nationalities upon the church rolls, and not less than one sixth of the membership is of foreign parentage. It is probable that the ra- | tio would be larger in Rhode Island and | Massachusetts.
 There are not enough people in New England who clearly believe that the gospel is the power of God unto saliva
 tion to the Italian working on the rail-
 road, or the Hungarian in the shop, or
 the German on the farm.
 Immigration laws should keep out certain well defined classes of aliens, but the solution of our troubles is not in the line of stricter immigration laws. Not only is the news of all the world brought hourly to our attention, but the very nations themselves are throng- ing our streets, crowding and jostling
 us at every turn.
 Generous gifts are absolutely neces- sary for the successful prosecution of the enterprise. The time is not distant when, more in accordance with the de-
 mand, money will flow freely in the
 distinctively religious channels repre- sented by the church and missionary operations.
 In New England communities social lines, as well as differences of language, separate the Puritan from the Italian and the Pilgrim from the Slav. The problem is partially solved by the or ganization of churches where these people hear the gospel in the tongue in which they were born.

ANOTHER FUNERAL PROCESSION

ANOTHER FUNERAL PROCESSION
 HELD UP.
 The appearance of two non-uniOn hacks owned by Liverymen Palmer Of Crown street and Schwaner of George street, at the funeral of Mrs. Jennie Cretella of 66 St. John street Saturday afternoon caused another disgraceful scene. which have become so common since the strike of the hackmen began.
 The union drivers refused to proceed unless the unfair hacks retired. The persons riding in the Palmer hack paid the driver and he was disposed of in this way, but when it came to settling Up with Schwaner's driver there was trouble. He wanted $4 for driving his fare from 472 Chapel street to the Gre tella home. He was offered $1.50, but refused to accept this and would not withdraw.
 A dispute followed lasting an hour and during this time the mourners awaited settlement of the trouble. Ar bitrators were called in and by mutual concessions the squabble was fixed up and Schwaner's hack withdrew.

shows few marks of age and still pos

have held the world in thrall.

had been drawing gratitude at compound

at her feet in full.
1t was after all the same Patti as of, old,

singer are still hers.
To say that she still retains ali the

but it is safe to assert that fully 50 percent
of her powers are still at her command.
Perhaps she has lost somewhat of he,
